Prudential Complaint - Prudential is not an honest company. - Three educational policies for my three children, never paid when they turned 18
Three educational policies for my three children, never paid when they turned 18 - Complaint
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY -- In Nov of 1955 when my first daughter was born, I took out an educational policy for her, for 800 dollars to be paid when she reached 18.
In June of 1957, I did the same thing for my second child. 800 dollar policy to be paid when she reached the age of 18
Then in March of 1968, I took out the same kind of policy for my son. Educational policy to be paid when he reached age 18.
54 years have passed and the policies have still not been paid out. Prudential sent a man to my house each month, for the money, but my children never saw a penny of it. They collected the money, each month, but my oldest daughter is now a Professor, my second daughter is a teacher/director , and my son works in WalMart. Carolina. How I wish I had chosen an honest company to have my policies with. Do not make the same mistake as I, choose a reputable, honest company. I have written the home company and they do not even bother to write back.
I am now thinking of taking Prudential to court, and asking for interest on the 2400 dollars. It would be worth what I pay the lawyer to finally bring Prudential to justice. Thank You for reading.

The problem you may have is the statute of limitations on bringing a lawsuit. States have limitations on how long you have to bring a lawsuit once you know of your claim. This is to avoid people bringing stale claims long after witnesses and paperwork has disappeared. The last child turned 18 in 1986, so that has been 23 years for his case and even longer for the others. I would consult an attorney, but that may be an issue.
I would think you would have better luck with the insurance commission in your state. They may be able to help recover on the policy, regardless of when it was due.

I have been trying for years in my home state, I went to the office of the Prudential insurance collecter, the man who came each month and collected the money. He and his wife were God Parents of my son. He was so sure all I had to do was give them the childrens names and collect the insurance money. He was retired from Prudential. And the people there told me with straight faces they had never heard of the three policies. Thanks anyway for your suggestion.
