      Status:
      Resolved
      I asked to cash in my life policy Canada Life sold them 2 years go. The amount of cashing the life policy is probably $4300.00 I have paid on this policy for several decades. They continually lie to me saying they have mailed my forms to fill out to receive my check. They have mailed nothing. I have called them since June 24 & every time they tell me they have mailed the forms several times. NOT SO.I have received nothing from them. I have had multiple problems with them since last year to get other paperwork they should have mailed on a timely basis which they NEVER DO. I contacted Canada Life in ****** and BBB over my problems last year. To me they are a sorry company. One of your female reps with BBB last year told me she has the same problem with her insurance policy with Protective Life in **********, **. (I told them repeatedly I have no copy machine with my computer) I do need your help or maybe with a lawyer. Thankyou, *******************************

      Protective, Revolos Company, Assure Guard Extended Warranty Product.In late February 2024, my 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe received an engine light indicator while in operation. I delivered my vehicle to Pohanka Chevrolet, Chantilly, VA without delay due to the close vicinity and inability to stop on major road.There had been three third-party inspectors, from Assure Guard that visited the dealership for the major repair inspection and estimate of cost of the engine replacement. Two inspectors approved the repairs for the engine. The third only approved partial coverage for the replacement of the engine. This particular issue became an unwarranted major task having to speaking to various representatives throughout Protective, Revolos, and those affiliated with the Assure Guard Extended Warranty.I have submitted on numerous occasions to have my claim appealed and to be reimbursed for the out-of-pocket expense of $5057.25 due to a lack of proof technicality Revolos has deemed legitimate reasoning not to fund the complete replacement payment (but only partial payment) of the engine for the ***** Tahoe.The representatives at Pohanka of Chevrolet Dealership also agree that the decision made by ******* to not completely fund the total cost of the replacement of the engine was unprecedented and they had never had such a decision occur.There is no proof that, while already in route to work, the immediate delivery of my vehicle after indication of a check engine light to the dealership near where the check engine light illuminated, that this would/had cause the full destruction of the engine to the vehicle.No representative or inspector from Revolos provided any evidence to the dealership nor proof that the damage cause the total destruction of the engine nor any indication how that could be proven.I believe there is a lack of evidence present to make any analysis. It appears to me, from the consumer side, a forcible lack of due diligence on the part of Revolos.
