Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it help if I call Prudential and make a complaint?
Yes. There are standard processes that life insurance companies follow when they receive complaints. A big part of the complaint process includes the need for documentation and proof. So, it’s not enough to give a written account of how you were harmed and how angry you are. You need to demonstrate how you’ve been harmed.
Life insurers are looking for specific things that can prove you have a legitimate complaint, but they’re not likely to tell you what they’re looking for. Unless you have experience with the life insurance complaint process, your complaint isn’t likely to get your claim paid or your premium refunded.
Q: Can the Department of Insurance help me?
It’s best to think of a state’s Department of Insurance as an organization that has limited oversight and even more limited enforcement powers. A department of insurance oversees things like; the filing of new policies an insurer wants to sell in a State, proper form filings, an insurer’s financial requirements, licensing of agents, and other activities that have a lot to do with collecting fees.
What a Department of Insurance doesn’t do is make life insurance claim decisions. A Department of Insurance also can’t force a life insurer to refund your premiums. They might fine an agent for bad practices, and they might terminate an agent’s license, but that doesn’t get you a refund. That doesn’t put money back in your pocket.
Q: Can The Center for Life Insurance Disputes help me?
Yes. We represent claim beneficiaries and policyholders who have disputes with Prudential Life.
Q: How long will it take to resolve my complaint?
It can take weeks to months to resolve a life insurance complaint, depending on the type of complaint, the documentation needed and the parties involved. We strive to resolve complaints as quickly as possible.

More About Prudential Life Insurance Complaints
Prudential Life sells life insurance and annuities.
In US Department of Labor (DOL) versus Prudential Insurance Company of America, 2023, it was alleged that Prudential Financial Inc. often failed to collect “evidence of insurability” (EOI) before taking premiums, only to deny death benefits. According to the DOL, “Insurer [Prudential] accepted participants’ premiums then denied hundreds of claims.”

In the early 1970’s I purchase a Group Universal policy. The premiums were reasonable. When I married in 1982, I added my wife to the policy. At that time, we were insured for 100K ea. I still have this policy today. PROBLEM: As a retiree at age 75, Prudential has increased the premiums to a point that I have been forced to reduce the policy to 50K ea. to keep the policy affordable. Now as I am older, the premiums are just over $600. /quarter. I call customer service and get no definitive advice. other than they will continue to increase. To me, this is a LEGAL PONZI SCHEME ! Now we are on fixed income and our only recourse is to stop the policy? This is insane! I am sure we are not the only ones experiencing this. Your comments / advise would be appreciated.

We purchased a life insurance policy from Prudential with premiums that increased year by year. At first it wasn’t much of an increase. Thirty years later, I realized I should have stopped when our son came of age and bought a cheaper term life policy. We do get some dividends but they don’t amount to much and we have to pay income tax on them. the company has now increased the rate from $410 to $450 a month. That is a rip off. There is not maturity date. We were mislead and stupid to buy this policy. I don’t seem to have any choice but to kiss all that money good bye and find a cheaper policy.

My father has paid his premium for many years and was specifically concerned about the conditions for which they may not pay. He was in a car accident and died as a result. All confirmed by the medical examiner, cause of death was complications from the accident. When time to collect from the insurance, we were told your claim is denied because he had an underlying condition which was diabetes. He knew he had this condition, they knew he had this condition, he paid them every month for years and they collected and continued to collect for years. If they knew he had this condition then why did they continue to carry him and collect payments. They just kept taking the money when they knew they would never have to pay out. If that was the case then under what circumstance would he be able to collect the insurance, if any? We were denied collecting his life insurance and they knew he had diabetes. Why would he continue to pay for life insurance if there was no possible way to collect upon his death. Please help.

Eules Hood says
Both of my parents had life insurance at Prudential. I am 100% positive I was included as a beneficiary on the policies or the policies were paid to the estate. The executors of the will, refuse to provide me with the policies. How do I go about getting Prudential or anyone to research this?

I purchased a life insurance policy some 40 years ago! I am now in need of some money and I cashed in my Policy! In October, received the check and went to deposit it and the teller said they couldn’t deposit it cause there is a name on it with my name! It’s Mellon financial! I have never heard of that name! Mellon is now some New York name and they said that it’s not their check! I called every week to get my check released to me! They said they would get melons name off! Received the same check with melons name! The check is for 11 thousand! They said that they would reinstate my account and will then be able to delete melons name! That isn’t happening and it been 4 months that I don’t have the check that I have alone been paying on it! Should I call this elderly abuse??? I am 79 and no one is doing anything to help me!
I have called and wrote a letter explaining!!
