Filed insurance claim on phone. Replacement device was not the same as current phone and told they could refund the current value of lost device. That monetary refund value was $999.99 + $60. Sales tax =$1059.99...A email per supervisor was to follow with instructions on how to put information RE: Bank account, debit card, venmo or ******. NO EMAIL WAS EVER SENT.. We have called 7 times and each time our call was escalated to a support team member or care solutions team. NO RESULT. We did w/o a phone for almost 9 days. Unacceptable. So tired of calling and getting told what would be done by employees and nothing is ever done. Please help us resolve this issue so we can get our refund.

I am filing a complaint against Asurion regarding my recent phone insurance claim (ID *************. Multiple errors, conflicting claim information, and a malfunctioning replacement device have caused me significant confusion and loss of time.First, I filed a single claim for a phone line ending in 7276, but Asurion shipped two replacement devices under the same claim ID with different deductibles and non-return fees (ranging from $0 to $225, and $305 to $445). Additionally, Asurion did not clearly disclose that I needed to return my original device until after approving the claim and shipping the replacement, and I faced repeated login issues that prevented me from clarifying the process. One replacement device also arrived corrupted, trapping my phone number and requiring hours of troubleshooting with Asurion and AT&T.I then received text messages mentioning different non-return fees$850, $305, and $445that do not align with each other or with prior communications. As a resolution, I respectfully request that Asurion waive any deductible and remove all non-return fees related to my original device. I am ready to return the malfunctioning replacement phone.These issues indicate broader problems with Asurions communication and claim system. I ask for the BBBs assistance in securing a fair resolution and preventing unwarranted charges.Customer Answer

on march ******v I received a call from *** in regards to the phone ***lacement, they transferred me to Asurion. After explaining what was going on with the ***lacement device, the *** dosconnected my call. There is no possible way to reach anyone to resolve this issue, ATT has nothing to do with it and the ***s just transfer the call or hang up. I did send back one of the ***lacement phones however i am still receiving daily text messages regarding the other device with threats of $445 fee. I recently discovered the phone that was corrupt upon arrival was linked to my personal phone number however the phone with no deductible/higher non return fee was linked to my recewntly deceased Father. I do not find this to be at random as my father was a victim of millions of dollers in ******** fraud in which i was a whistleblower for and someone stole my claim.Business Response

Asurion refuses to honor my claim for replacement of lost/stolen phone recently purchased through ***** They repeatedly deny my claim for a different reason each time. The first time they approved the claim and when I checked on it after several days, was told the claim was denied due to violation of terms and conditions; they refused to disclose those terms saying it was proprietary information. I filed another claim and it was denied (again without notification), and was told it was because I could not file a claim until 30 days after purchase of the device. I confirmed with **** that this was not true nor was I in violation of any terms and conditions. Every time I call Asurion, they assure me that the device is covered, only to be denied without notification. This seems to be a systematic practice of Asurion, based on internet testimonials, to avoid paying out insurance claims. I have no recourse; **** just states that the matter must be dealt with Asurion. I cannot even switch my phone number to another older device because it will void my coverage on the new phone. It is apparent that they are trying to exhaust consumers and force them into dropping the claim because people cannot simply just go without cell phone service long enough to fight this process.Customer Answer

there are several claims as they decided to close and reopen claims without my permission several times. 306586302312, 305673043165, 305712294161
Unfortunately as i own a business i had to just pay for an upgrade because i needed a phone and it had been about 2 weeks back and forth with Asurion. costed me about 250 dollars but had to re-sign a 3 year deal. Thing is a pay Asurion 50/month and i have no idea for what, i have 4 lines and i dont exactly feel sure this company would do as they say in any future issues if any.

Hi. I filed an insurance claim on my phone through Asurion on February 13th. I was supposed to receive my new phone no later than February 17th, but it hasn't arrived at all as of today, March 2nd. I called ***** multiple times on this and they initially said there was a "security issue" and that the package was on "indefinite hold". They finally released the package and was scheduled for delivery on February 21st, but it still has not been delivered. I also called Asurion about this and they claimed that ***** "tried" to deliver but because no one was home and a signature was required (which ***** said a signature was not required), that the phone was returned to Asurion. Someone is lying about this and I filed a complaint with ***** about this as well. I've since gotten a new phone on my own, I want Asurion and/or ***** to pay me the full amount of the phone that was insured.Business Response

Asurion Protection Services, LLC (Asurion) is the licensed insurance agent and claims administrator for the AT&T Protect Advantage for 4 (PA4) program, which is an optional program available to AT&Ts postpaid customers. Under the terms of the PA4 program,AT&T customers can protect up to four (4) eligible devices in the event of loss, theft, damage, or mechanical or electrical failure after the manufacturers warranty has expired.
On May 21, 2017, you enrolled the wireless account in PA4. Following enrollment, a Welcome Letter, which included a copy of the Coverage Certificate, was sent to you on May 25, 2017. More recently, on August 23, 2019, August 5, 2022, and November 6, 2023,Program Change Notices, which provided updated copies of the Coverage Certificate, were sent to you. The Coverage Certificate fully outlines the monthly cost of the program, applicable deductibles, how to file a claim, claim limits, and other pertinent disclosures. Key program disclosures are provided to customers prior to enrollment, and customers may also review the Coverage Certificate online at **************************************** prior to enrolling in the program or initiating a claim (or at any other time). On February 28, 2025, you terminated the PA4 coverage.
The Coverage Certificate states the following regarding your complaint:
VIII.ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS.
A.All claims for Loss under this Certificate will be made good within thirty (30)days after presentation and acceptance of satisfactory proof of interest and Loss to our Authorized Representative and satisfaction by you of your Duties in the Event of a Loss.
Following the receipt of this matter, Asurion conducted a full review of the relevant account and claim history with the aim to, where possible, remediate the matter. Based on that review, Asurion determined that on February 13, 2025, you filed a claim for a damaged ******** ************* (2024) (128GB) (Claimed Device) for the wireless number ending in 1500,reporting a cracked screen. During the claim completion process, you accepted the terms and authorized the $25 deductible billed to your wireless account. Later on the same day, February 13, 2025,the replacement ******** ************* (2024) (128GB) (Replacement Device) was picked up by ***** for Next-Day delivery, tracking number 772069479153. However, the Replacement Device was not delivered the next day as requested due to local delivery restrictions with the delivery courier, *****.
Asurion aims to make the claim process quick, easy, and convenient for its customers, including next-day delivery. If eligible, we strive to provide next-day shipping; however, next-day shipping is not guaranteed. As outlined in the policy (cited above), the PA4 Terms and Conditions state that [a]ll claims for Loss under this Certificate will be made good within thirty (30) days after presentation and acceptance of satisfactory proof of interest and Loss to our Authorized Representative and satisfaction by you of your Duties in the Event of a Loss. Following the completion of your claim on February 13, 2025, the Replacement Device was delivered to you on March 6, 2025, which is consistent with the PA4 terms and conditions.
While the delay was of no fault to Asurion, following the receipt of this matter, on March 6, 2025, March *******, and March 13, 2025, an Asurion representative attempted to contact you to address your concerns further but could not reach you. The Asurion representative left a voicemail with their direct contact information. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact the Asurion representative using the provided contact information.
We sincerely apologize for your frustration and the inconvenience caused. We commit to our customers to make the claims process easy and convenient, and we truly regret that this was not your experience.

Following the receipt of this matter, Asurion conducted a full review of the relevant account and claim history with the aim to, where possible, remediate the matter.

I had Asurion through ******* Total Mobile Protection. I recently filed a claim503072486856 for an Apple Watch that I lost. I had to call to complete the claim. When I called, I was told that the replacements were currently on backorder, but I could receive a check to repurchase a replacement on my own. I asked the agent multiple times to confirm the amount of the check, to which she confirmed $336.53. She also repeated that this was the amount AFTER the deductible was considered. In other words, $336.53 was the amount of the check I was supposed to receive, after all taxes and fees were sorted. I asked if I would receive an email confirmation of this, and she said yes. Great. After we disconnected the call, I received an approval email for my claim. The amount, however, was different$257.72. I immediately called Asurion back. I explained the situation, and the specialist put me on hold to confirm. After, he said the original specialist was correct, and the claim amount and check would be for $336.53. He said specifically to disregard the email and "rest assured the check will be for $336.53." Amazing. The check arrived today. For $257.72. When I called Asurion, the specialist on the line stated that the amount was in fact $336.53, but it wasn't including the $99 deductible. But, $336.53-$99=$237.53, so when I questioned her math, she said there were also taxes from my state in the amount of $20.19. Okay, but...$336.53-$99-$20.19=$217.34 NOT $257.72 NOR $336.53. When I questioned her on this she simply stated, "Well this is the amount we gave you and this is your money."This is ILLEGAL for an insurance company. I agreed to an amount, and you changed the amount when the claim went through. I've attached screenshots of my original call (17 minutes), the email I received, and the second call I made (7 minutes) after receiving that email. This number is the Asurion support number. I expect a check mailed to me for the remaining amount$78.81.Business Response

I contacted Asurion to get my replacement after my phone broke. They overnighted a replacement phone. The phone arrived the wrong color and did not work. I contacted them again and they said a second replacement would be delivered the same day between 5 and 7 pm. I replied I heard these same day deliveries never show up. She replied they will come for sure. I then received an email saying the phone won't be delivered to click link to choose another delivery. The link did not work. I called to get the phone sent by ***** instead. I now have been on hold for 15 mins. This has happened to me in the past as well.Customer Answer

This is an AT&T Iphone 14 pro max in purple for number ************. You have made 3 appointments for expert delivery and canceled all of them. You finally sent the wrong color and it is defective. When contacted to fix it multiple CSR's lied and bungled everything. Was promised an upgrade to 15 pro max for my trouble but it was never delivered. Several weeks went by and the replacement for the first defective phone finally arrived today in the wrong color. Truly pathetic service at best. Your ***'s tried to sell me stuff every call dragging the calls out to 40+ mins just to get nowhere. You need to knock about $100 off the deductable to make it right.Business Response
