Resolved
The complainant verified the issue was resolved to their satisfaction.
This company has been relentlessly spamming my phone for well over a year, often multiple times per day. They appear to be using phone spoofing and offshore call centers. Theyve basically rendered my phone useless without the aid of a paid spam blocking app, and even then sometimes they get through. Its obvious they are doing this to prey upon and scam elderly people, but I am NOT part of that demographic, and no amount of explaining this will get them to stop! I mean really...I understand your business has a vile tactic of preying on the elderly, but spamming me isnt going to get you any money, or make me any more likely to purchase your service, AND it wastes your own money and resources .... so give it a rest already!

SelectQuote called and stated they could get me a better deal regarding my insurance. I told them they could send me information about better insurance but then I received a letter stating I had been signed up for a different insurance. I did not agree to new insurance, only that I would like information. I did not sign any paperwork and gave no approval at all for new insurance.

These **** **** use illegal tactics and offshore call centers from India to fill their sales funnels. Preying on the weakest in society and using three layers of call transfers before putting me thru to some low life with Select Quote. Then their sales person has the audacity to call me back and harass me after I tell him these facts. then the coward hung up[. I'm filing with the FTC, the FCC, and the CFBP and I hope they shut them down.

Does not follow through with quote if you request a 10 year term life insurance quote. They only want to sell you 20 year term life insurance quotes. If you do not choose at least 20 years, then they say things like “why would you do that?” And they hang up on you.

I have been using SelectQuote for over 4 yrs and every year there is an issue with the reps. This year has ultimately been the worse and most frustrating year. It's a 90% chance you will get someone on the phone that does not know what they are doing. This year I called in November and spoke to a rep and they were having problems with there phone system that seems to be a recurring theme. We reviewed all medications and drs at no point was I told that he did not receive the same benefits as the previous year. Come January the plan was completely different than the one he had been on for the last few years. When I called to find out why they supposedly had no record of my call from November when we were on the phone for almost an hr. I reviewed everything with the rep again in January and changed plans at no point did she tell me he was losing a financial benefit and paying more out of pocket. Come February I spoke to another rep and she reviewed the plans and explained why I lost the benefit. So, I made the decision to stay with the current plan and then come March we receive a new card in the mail and were told that the plan we were signed up for no longer existed and was a 2023 plan. They changed the plan without informing us and without our permission. I called today 3/11/24 and again they are having phone issues, this would be the 2nd or 3rd time I have asked to speak to a manager, and I am not put through to one. I asked ***** today why I could not speak with a manager vs her putting me through someone else for the request to speak to a manager and she hung up the phone on me. I was pushed through to the automated survey system that does not work.

I submitted my phone number online to receive a quote for home and auto insurance. My number was without permission given to this company, who will not cease their incessant calling of my phone number. I have received three calls an hour in the past 6 hours. I called the company and asked to be removed from their list. The gentleman refused to confirm he was removing me from the list and then hung up on me. I called back and asked the next gentleman to remove me and state clearly on the recorded line that he had removed me and he also refused to confirm and hung up on me. I want this business to stop calling me and remove my number from they list which I assume that they pass along to others without authorization from me.

I filed a complaint earlier today against Select Quote Insurance Services. This email is a follow up with screen shot documentation to add to my case.
I specified to this company to remove me from their call and text list both in text response, and on the phone speaking to 4 different people. I have received calls after each of my requests.
I am being overrun with calls from this company. Attached are screenshots of just today.
This has to stop. How can a company disregard my requests?

On 11/30/2023 I received a call from Select Quote trying to sell me insurance. The caller said his name was **** and his employee ID ********* He was extremely rude and I asked him not to call me anymore. He said it was his job to call me. I told him I was on the Do Not Call list and he said that was not his concern. He continued to push and say that his company had the right to call me anytime they wanted. This is harassment and very poor business practices.

This company, through it's representative known as **** ****** has been repeatedly calling both of my cellphones, even though I am on the Federal Do Not Call list, and they have been told to stop numerous times. I have recorded several of these calls, and those recordings can be made available upon request. Select Quote is also texting advertisements to the one cellphone. I have never asked them for information, or gave them any permission to call me. I have tried several times to reach out to resolve the problem, but they have chosen to ignore me. At this point, I need to speak to the company's ATTORNEY or LEGAL REPRESENTATION to get this matter resolved. Simply "removing my number and info" will NOT suffice. If I don't hear from their legal counsel, I will be seeking significant legal action against them in a US District Court. I hope we can resolve this matter without such action taking place.

Complaint: ********

I am rejecting this response because: The company has refused to take responsibility for the illegal telemarketing. They have claimed that their third-party advertiser had permission to telemarket me, when in fact absolutely none was given. I gave them the opportunity to verify the claimed "permission", and identify the third part advertiser, but they have yet to do so. At this point, I intend to file legal action against SelectQuote at this point, like several other consumers have for their illegal telemarketing.

Regards,

***** *******
