    Complaint Type:
    Product Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    Purchased life insurance through a different company in 2005, the policy has since been transferred to this company. I have been attempting since March 25 of this year to surrender the policy. I have been given an incorrect address for mailing the surrender request, the address that is printed on ALL of the correspondence from this company is ************. I have been told that address is incorrect but even mailed received from them May 15, reflects the "incorrect" address. I have received a ridiculous amount mail, they have sent and re-sent the identical surrender request paperwork approximately 9 times, address change paperwork approximately 5 times even through I had completed said paperwork. In fear that my policy would be cancelled, I did mail a payment which they tried to claim they did not receive even through I have copy of cancelled check that they processed April 24. As of May 17, I still have not received payment for policy surrender and was told today that "cost basis needed to be calculated" I fear this company is attempting to have the policy lapse so as not to have to pay the cash surrender and each time I call there is no resolution except that turn around time is 7 business days. I was told today that this would be escalated and that I should see results in 3-5 business days. As this has been ongoing since March 25, I am not feeling a great deal of confidence.

    By far, it is the worst company known to man. They wouldn't post payments on time; they never had any other method to receive funds on a quarterly basis. They would send me letters to collect when the payment was already paid and cashed, causing my account to have NSF fees because they didn't deduct payment in a timely manner. After all was said and done, I tried to get my money and cash out, and they told me that I was delinquent and that I didn't have any money. I was always on top of my account, and I had every date, every conversation, and proof I was on time and in the right. I hope ****** catches up to you because you are the worst person for taking my hard-earned money. I received a letter in the mail that people were going to take them to court, but during that time, I was taking care of my disabled husband, who was just in the hospital from being hit on his motorcycle. I didn't have the time or the will to do it at that time.I'm more than upset, this company are liars, and they cheat people out of their hard earned money. Stay far away from them! Please - They took about ***** from me!
