  I have requested to be removed from their email list multiple times. I have blocked them from my email. I have reported them as spam and the more I request to be removed or block them, the frequency of email increases. This is harassment and needs to stop.

  Per telephone instructions from Globe customer service representative Hema on November 25, 2024, Globe Life was provided documentation regarding a letter dated November 17, 2024 regarding a payment recorded as returned on Policy #****R7246. According to bank records, as well as two separate conversations with representatives from *****************, all payments made through the Capital City **************** to the Globe Life Insurance *** were paid in full, none have been returned for insufficient funds, or for any other reason. The supporting documentation attached includes your letter, a copy of the bank statement from the day the payment in question was paid by the bank reflecting the available balance on the account, the payment confirmation from the ***************** ****************, as well as all payment confirmations since Globe account was opened in July of 2024. According to the representative, the online payment was returned to your office for insufficient funds on November 2, 2024. Please note the most recent payment made through the bill pay service was made on November 13, and the previous payment was paid and posted to the account on October ********* were no payments in the interim that would reflect a November 2nd payment. The representative was not able to provide relief other than the waiver of the past due premium with the amount disputed applied to the next month's bill. I would like this issue to be corrected in writing, and for any blemish to this account to be removed, especially given that the representative advised this waiver was a one-time consideration.

  I paid an annual premium of $105. for policy #5H82096 on 09/09/24. The money was rec'd, *********. #NB11L3CK. About $27 was applied to the policy according to the company, and the rest was distributed elsewhere for reasons unknown. I currently have a total of 5 policies with this company dating back to 2013. All 5 premiums are paid annually and are currently up to date. Never a problem with the other 4 policies, only the one (5H82096). This problem has been reoccurring for the past 3 years. Every year, including this year, I've call the company, spent hours on the phone, to wait weeks before the problem is corrected and the full amount applied to the policy. There's very little transparency or cooperation from this company. There's a lot of red tape and conflicting information from one person to the next. It appears, no one wants to take accountability right away to correct this problem, and speaking to a supervisor is next to impossible. I don't want to cancel any of my policies, but this reoccurring problem is causing me unnecessary stress and anxiety, and a permanent solution required. Please Help....

  I submitted to Globe Life a request adding my son as co-beneficiary to an existing life insurance policy approximately 2 weeks ago. On Friday October *******, I received a confirmation letter listing an unknown person on the policy. On Monday, November 4, 2024, I spoke with a Globe Life representative who at first advised me I would need to resubmit another form. When I objected to this she then said they would try to retrieve my original form and they would correct it and to call them to check the status. This is horrendous service! Globe Life should call me with the status of this. This is a life insurance policy not some routine exchange of a household item. I feel Globe Lifes carelessness is inexcusable.

  Complaint Regarding Ongoing Website Issues at Globe Life Insurance Dear Better Business Bureau,I am reaching out to file a formal complaint regarding ongoing issues with Globe Life Insurance's website, which has been down for over 45 days. This outage has severely impacted my ability to manage and pay my life insurance policy for my family.During this period, I have repeatedly attempted to access my account on *********************** website, and each time, Ive been unable to log in. Ive tried resetting my password multiple times, but no reset emails are received. Ive contacted Globe Lifes customer service several times, and while they acknowledge that they are aware of the issue, they have not provided a clear timeline for resolution. This prolonged delay, combined with the inability to access my account, is entirely unacceptable for a service as critical as life insurance.Additionally, I am hesitant to provide payment over the phone due to a past incident where my card information was compromised. Unfortunately, Globe Life has not offered any alternative secure methods to make payments, leaving me concerned about how to keep my policy current without risking my card ************** a customer who relies on their service, I am deeply disappointed with the lack of urgency in addressing this matter. I hope the BBB can assist in encouraging Globe Life to resolve these issues promptly and restore dependable online account access for all policyholders.Thank you for your assistance.Sincerely,

  October 9th 2024 I had filled out the insurance application which had just been mailed to me and a few days later I received a letter saying that particular insurance is not available in ****** so they took it upon themselves to sign me up for a different policy that is twice as expensive and price keeps going up over the years, this is not what I want and cannot afford they are now emailing me to say I owe them a payment. This I believe is a switch and bait. I have just spent the morning on the phone trying to get some satisfaction but all the person kept saying was yes man.

  For over three months, maybe five I have been unable to log into the Globe Life website where I normally pay my bill. I have contacted them by phone; asked for "escalation" and filled out "contact us" queries on the their webpage and no one is responding. The Escalation supervisor called me back over two months ago, said she would get tech support to assist me, but no one ever did. The "contact us query" answered "delete your account and create a new one". How can you delete your account and create a new one. I just called, and waited forever for an agent and then I was disconnected. I sent my most recent payment by check (old fashioned) and my last payment by phone, but I used to pay by logging in. I have three policies and I've been a great customer.
