      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. Both checks were issued on August 23 and delivered ***** just hours ago to one of the two designated addresses. We will arrange delivery of the second check to the correct address. While this still shows a lack of attention to details, this resolution is satisfactory to me.Thank you for your assistance.

      I bought a Long Term Policy from CNA going back to 2015 that pays nursing home coverage if disabled I became 100% disabled in 2017 & filed a claim I had waiver of premium on my policy that waives premium if disabled which I am I filed claims in 2023 & exhausted my annual benefit. Will refile in Aug 2024 I spoke to case worker in Nov 23 to do an review of my health. No problem She asked why I had not filed any claims lately & I told her my annual benefit was used up for 23 & I would refile in 2024 She said that made sense Come May 2024 I got as bill for over $ 2000 for past premiums due I called the 800 ******** said it was because I had not filed in a year. They said I needed to file 52 weekly reports to correct this I am a stroke victim. I sent them a statement I was under care for the *********** said not good enough & are cancelling my policy end of May. I needed to send 52 of their forms to them I asked for accomidation but they said no.

      CNA LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE Long-Term Insurance that has been paid into for over 20 yrs is not paying submitted claims. They have received all paperwork as requested since 3/5/24. They will not let me speak to any supervisor and all employees that I speak to DO NOT understand what they are talking about. I have read several other complaints and they sound exactly like mine. My 88 year old mother trusted this company and now it all sounds like FRAUD.

      This is for long term care benefits from CNA. This is for my mother ***************************** policy #*********. I am authorized under her account. She is 92 yrs old. She was in the hospital 3/2/23 to 3/9/23 and in skilled nursing 3/9/23 to 3/21/23 at **************. I have been trying for months to get this adjusted. Each time the rep says they have the documentation and will have it relooked at. Each time they say that it is not included because she was not yet approved for benefits on those dates. They need to update the effective date to include those dates.

      CNA Insurance is trying to scam me out of money for a repair they should be covering. I have a legitimate claim and they are tying to hide behind a clause in their contract that states I must have "prior" approval for a repair. The issue is that I took it to the closest repair shop because my car was leaking oil and it was actively flowing out of my car. I took it to a reputable shop that was close by my house. In the midst of trying to figure out how my active family was going o get by with one car and how I was going to get to work for the next week, I forgot to call and ask permission for them to fix my car under the warranty I purchased for peace of mind. I have credit card statement of the cost as well as documentation from the repair shop on the cost. This is just a large company trying to take advantage of their customer and I'm not having it. Looking for the BBB to give the little guy a voice here!

      I have a workers compensation insurance policy through American casualty company of reading Pennsylvania. Policy WC429011185. The issue is Ive been trying to cancel this since Aug 2023. I can not reach anyone. Ive called and the numbers listed are not the company. I wrote and mailed a letter to cancel the policy and I havent received a response, nor has it been cancelled. I dont authorize them to renew the policy or withdraw funds to renew it but, I am concerned they will renew it because I cant reach anyone. My current work comp company needs me to cancel that policy because in ** it is against the law to have duplicate coverage. My goal is to cancel the coverage and get confirmation its canceled.

      Mother paid premiums into LTC for over 20 years. They send letters to confirm and it shows in the portal they owe $135,000 in back payments. They admit they owe the money but will not pay it. Contacted them 11 times in 6 weeks amounting to approximately 8hrs of time on the phone. I have been told it's a priority case but the person in charge of it is never available and never calls back. They won't allow me to talk to anybody else except said person because it's a priority case but nothing is happening. In the meantime my mom may be released from the facility due to m Non-payment.

      My mother has lifetime coverage from CNA, but they are not paying. For the past 17 months we have been paying out of pocket for at home 24/7 care. My mother has been approved for care because of need. We did two consultations, via zoom, endless phone calls, an appeal at a very high cost. Every time I speak with someone from CNA (always a different person) I get different responses to the same questions asked. The first denial was in July 2022, because the caregivers were not "licensed"., they are certified. I did my due diligence in finding a licensed agency. These caregivers were recommended by the hospital so that my mom could be released to go home. Fast forward a year, made a new claim, was told that CNA contacted five licensed agencies, they were not able to identify two that could help. My father, in good faith bought into these policies, religiously paid the premiums, on time. Navigating the process is harrowing, confusing, filled with unanswered, or conflicting statements. I can't help but think CNA ************** predicates making money on the death of their clients, giving up, running out of money. It's a very troubling, moral, ethical business practice.

      I am rejecting this response because: CNA has not paid any amount for the 24/7 care for the past 17 months.  Recently I have received numerous letter indicating that I can now submit hours for the recently approved caregivers.  My mom passed on December 5, 2023, there have been no accrued hours as they are no longer needed. Again, I reject CNA 's response.  This business is unethical in practice, in direct conflict of it's "mission". CNA is reprehensible , unethical in practice, morally irresponsible, predators on people who look to provide a secure long term care policy for their future.
