Question
What will Prudential do if I keep my lump sump payment?
After dealing with this crooked bunch, I plan on having them submit paperwork to me so that I can decide whether or not to pay them the lump sum SSD payment I’ll receive. I may not be satisfied with what they submit, and I’ll not tell them unless they call. I usually let calls roll to voice-mail and call back at my leisure, but may follow Prudential policy of never returning calls. If I keep the lump sum payment, what can these crooks do about it?
Answer
Steve, If you are on claim, they can withhold your benefit check in satisfaction of the over-payment; or Prudential can send you to collections, and in some instances file civil suit to collect the money (although the latter is not a common occurrence).
