      The desired resolution listed in your case states the following:

      Replacement.


      Response:

      Asurion Insurance Services, Inc.(Asurion) is the program administrator for the ******* Mobile Protect Multi-Device (*** MD) program.  *** MD is an optional account-based device ********************** program that allows a ******* ******** customer to cover multiple devices on their ******* ******** account in the event a device active on a wireless line is lost, stolen, damaged or experiences a post-warranty malfunction. *** MD includes ******** Phone Protection (WPP) insurance coverage,******* Extended Warranty (EW) service contract coverage, and Mobile Secure tech support (for all devices on the account). ******************** is the program administrator for WPP, which provides insurance coverage if the customers device is lost, stolen, or damaged.  Customers enrolled in the *** MD program can file a claim by calling Asurions toll-free number or going online at www.phoneclaim.com/verizon.  Approved claims are eligible for repair or replacement, depending on several factors, each determined by Asurion when the claim is filed and approved. 

      Our records reflect that on November 14, 2023, you enrolled the wireless account in the *** MD program.  Following enrollment in *** MD, on November 22, 2023, Asurion sent you a Welcome Kit. The Welcome Kit included the *** MD Terms and Conditions, including the ******** Communications Equipment Coverage Insurance Policy (Insurance Policy). In addition, program brochures detailing the *** Terms and Conditions,including the Insurance Policy, are available at ******* retail locations at the time the customer decides to enroll in ***. These materials can also be obtained at any time at the customers convenience online at www.phoneclaim.com/verizon or www.verizon.com or by calling Asurions toll-free number.

      The section of the Insurance Policy relevant to the matter is set forth below:

      G.ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
      4. Eligibility
      a.To be eligible for coverage you must 1.  be a valid, active and current subscriber of the ******** Service Provider or an approved user of a ********************** number on a valid, active and current account with the ******** Service Provider for which the account holder has authorized coverage; 2.  not have engaged in fraud or abuse with respect to this or a similar communications equipment insurance program; and 3. not be in breach of any material term of the policy, including but not limited to failure to return damaged Covered Property when requested in conjunction with 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 March 6, 2024, you completed an online claim for a lost Apple iPhone 14 (128GB) (Claimed Device 1) for the wireless number ending in 9624.  During the claim completion process, you accepted the terms of the claim and satisfied the $229 replacement deductible by debit/credit card.  As you selected the Same-Day Delivery Service, an Apple iPhone 14 (128GB) (Replacement Device) was delivered to the address you provided that same day.

      Following the above, from March 14, 2024 to March 27, 2024,you initiated multiple claims, this time reporting a damaged Apple iPhone 14 (128GB) (Claimed Device 2) for the wireless number ending in 9624.  For one of those claims, filed on March 16,2024, the order was submitted, and an Apple iPhone 14 (128GB) (Replacement Device) was scheduled to be delivered to you. However, following a subsequent review of the claim, the shipment of your Replacement Device was canceled, returned to Asurion, and the $99 replacement deductible charge was subsequently refunded.

      A review of your claims and account history determined that the claims were denied in accordance with Additional Conditions 4.a. (as listed above).  We investigated your account activity and found related unusual and/or suspicious account activity.  Please note that the specific reasons or details for a denial under Additional Conditions 4.a.cannot be provided to any customer, as this would compromise the integrity of our insurance programs systems and controls.

      Based on the above, we believe the denials of your claims for the wireless number ending in 9624 were appropriate.  We are happy to review any additional information you may have to support your claim, but at this time, we cannot approve your claim based on the information available to us.

      The policy guidelines Asurion follows have been explained in this letter, and therefore, we consider this matter closed.

      Had insurance with Asurion, i lost my device on March ********, they denied my claim multiple times saying i didnt have insurance by the time i lost the device which is not true.

      The desired resolution listed in your case states the following:

      Response:

      ******* Mobile Protect (***) is an optional device ********************** program that is available to ******* Wireless customers and provides coverage for eligible devices that are lost, stolen, damaged or experience post-warranty malfunctions.  Asurion Insurance Services, Inc. (Asurion) is the program administrator for the Wireless Phone Protection insurance program (***), which is a component of *** and provides coverage for loss, theft, and damage.  In addition to the *** insurance coverage, *** includes ******* Extended Warranty (EW) protection, which is a ******* service contract that provides coverage in the event the customers device experiences a malfunction or defect after the manufacturers warranty has expired.

      The *** enrollment history for the wireless number ending in 2250 reflects the following:

      May 14, 2023 through May 27, 2023.
      June 21, 2023 through January 9, 2024.
      February 25, 2024 through the present date.

      Following your initial enrollment, on June 2, 2023,Asurion sent you a Welcome Kit.  The Welcome Kit included the *** Terms and Conditions, including the *** Wireless Communications Equipment Coverage Insurance Policy ("Insurance Policy").  More recently, on March 19, 2023, a Program Change Notice, which included an updated copy of the Insurance Policy, was sent to you.  In addition, program brochures detailing the *** Terms and Conditions, including the Insurance Policy, are available at ******* retail locations at the time the customer decides to enroll in ***.  These materials can also be obtained at any time at the customers convenience online at www.phoneclaim.com/verizon or www.verizon.com or by calling Asurions toll-free number.

      The *** Terms and Conditions state the following regarding the matter:

      COVERAGE
      In exchange for premium paid when due, we agree to provide the coverage as stated in the policy on a month to month basis, provided that any covered damage or loss to the Covered Property is sustained while your coverage is in effect.

      2. Covered Property
                  Covered Property means only the mobile wireless communications equipment as follows:
      a.If you have subscribed to Line Based Coverage: Covered Property means the wireless device owned by you for which: 1) the unique identification number (International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), Electronic Serial Number (ESN), or ********************** Equipment ID (MEID)) of such wireless device is reflected in the records of the Wireless Service Provider at the time your coverage initially became effective; and 2) for which outgoing airtime usage has been logged with the Wireless Service Provider on the account after coverage became effective; unless you have logged outgoing airtime on a different wireless device immediately prior to the time of loss, in which case such wireless device becomes the Covered Property so long as: i) such wireless device is owned by you and you provide us proof of ownership and ii) airtime usage was logged on such device on the account with the Wireless Service Provider immediately prior to the time of loss.

      4.Eligibility
      a. To be eligible for coverage you must 1. be a valid, active and current subscriber of the Wireless Service Provider or an approved user of a ********************** number on a valid,active and current account with the Wireless Service Provider for which the account holder has authorized coverage; 2. not have engaged in fraud or abuse with respect to this or a similar communications equipment insurance program;and 3. not be in breach of any material term of the policy, including but not limited to failure to return damaged Covered Property when requested in conjunction with a loss.

      In reviewing your claim history for the wireless number ending in 2250, Asurion confirmed that you filed multiple claims between the dates of February 25, 2024 and March 29, ****************** stolen Apple iPhone 15 *************** (Claimed Device).  The claims were subsequently denied because the Claimed Device was known to have been lost/stolen prior to your re-enrollment in the *** program on February 25, 2024,as evidenced by the notes from ******* Wireless.   In accordance with the Terms and Conditions cited above, coverage is provided if any covered damage or loss to the Covered Property is sustained while your coverage is in effect.  Because coverage was not in effect at the time you reported the loss (February 25, 2024), the claims were correctly denied.

      On April 1, 2024, you filed a new claim, this time reporting that the Claimed Device for the wireless number ending in 2250 was lost on February 24, 2024,and subsequently recovered that day before being lost again on March 7, 2024.  After reviewing the updated claim details,Asurion approved the claim for completion. During the claim completion process, you accepted the terms of the claim and satisfied the $99 replacement deductible by debit/credit card.  On April 2, 2024, an Apple iPhone 15 *************** replacement device was delivered to the address provided.  Therefore, we consider the matter resolved.

      Please feel free to contact me if you have any other concerns or questions.  I am available by email Monday through Friday from the hours of 9:30am to 4:00pm CST.

      The case you filed with the BBB on March 14,2024, states:

      On Wed 02/21/24 I began the claim process on an iphone se with asurian - the insurance carrier for AT&T. My phone was quite old, and paid off. They did get me a replacement phone promptly.

      Response:

      Asurion is the licensed insurance agent and claims administrator for the AT&T Protect Advantage for Business for 1 (PA1) program, which is an optional device ********************** program available to AT&Ts customers.  PA1 provides coverage for one (1) eligible device in the event it is lost, stolen, damaged,or experience an out-of-warranty malfunction. PA1 includes Protect Insurance, which provides coverage for loss, theft,and physical damage (excluding accidental damage from handling), and Protect Service Contract, which provides coverage for accidental damage from handling (including screen claims) and out-of-warranty malfunctions.  The Protect Insurance is underwritten by **************************** (Continental), which is one of the *** underwriting companies.  Customers can file a claim by calling Asurions toll-free number at **************, or by going online at www.phoneclaim.com/att. 

      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. On February 22,2024, you filed an online claim with Asurion for a damaged Apple iPhone SE 2020 256GB (Claimed Device). You accepted the terms of the claim and authorized the $100 replacement deductible billed to your wireless account. On February *******, the replacement Apple iPhone SE 2022 256GB (Replacement Device) was delivered to the address you provided, fulfilling Asurions claim obligation.

      Regarding the AT&T-bound device you received as a replacement, as Asurion does not manage the locking/unlocking policies of the wireless provider, the locking/unlocking of the device would need to be handled with the wireless provider directly. Therefore, we kindly ask that you contact AT&T for further assistance with this matter.

      On 23 January 2024, my husband's phone quit working properly. We pay for ******* Mobile Protect, so I figured getting a replacement wouldn't be a big deal. (I was terribly wrong.) ******* uses Asurion. I made a claim with Asurion that exact day. (Asurion Customer Support: **************) I agreed to pay the $99 deductable. I also agreed to mail in the damaged phone within 15 days of receiving the new phone, or I would face a $300 charge. I recieved the new device the very nexy day, 24 January 2024. However, that device was defective. Not even 5 hours of trouble shooting at a ******* store got the device to work. On 26 January 2024, I call Asurion again to tell them I received a defective device. I am assured that it is not a problem because they have a 365 day warranty on replacement devices and will send a new one right away. On 29 January 2024, I receive the new replacement and it sets up with ease. (Asurion Tech Coach: **************) After the set up is complete, I confirm with the Tech Coach on what to do with each device and she instructs me to place BOTH damaged/defective devices in the SAME return box that was provided and use the NEWEST shipping label provided. The package was dropped off with *** on 1 February 2024 and I thought that was that. On 6 February 2024 I got a text from *******, saying the device was received! On 17 February 2024, I recieved a letter in the mail from Asurion that they never recieved my damaged device and that I needed to return it or I would be charged $300. I called Asurion right away, surely this was a mix-up! According to the gentleman I spoke with, there was no record of me calling on 26 or 29 January and they never sent me a second device. To his surprise, I had the tracking number of the package I sent back. (*** 1Z4E9W390625909068) He said he could see that the package was received 6 February 2024 and that he would have someone locate the devices. Now it is 11 March 2024 and Asurion charged me the $300!

      The following is the desired resolution listed in your complaint:

      Refund.

      Response:

      ******* Mobile Protect (***) is an optional device ********************** program that is available to ******* Wireless customers and provides coverage for eligible devices that are lost, stolen,damaged or experience post-warranty malfunctions.  Asurion Insurance Services, Inc. (Asurion)is the program administrator for the Wireless Phone Protection insurance program (***), which is a component of *** and provides coverage for loss,theft, and damage.  In addition to the *** insurance coverage, *** includes ******* Extended Warranty (EW)protection, which is a ******* service contract that provides coverage in the event the customers device experiences a malfunction or defect after the manufacturers warranty has expired.

      On September 27, 2022, the primary account holder, ********************************* (the Insured), enrolled the wireless number ending in 7437 in ***.  Following the enrollment, on October 14, 2022, Asurion sent the Insured a Welcome Kit.  The Welcome Kit included the *** Terms and Conditions, including the *** Wireless Communications Equipment Coverage Insurance Policy ("Insurance Policy").  More recently, on February 16, 2023, a Program Change Notice, which included an updated copy of the Insurance Policy,was sent to the Insured.  In addition,program brochures detailing the *** Terms and Conditions, including the Insurance Policy, are available at ******* retail locations at the time the customer decides to enroll in ***.  These materials can also be obtained at any time at the customers convenience online at www.phoneclaim.com/verizon or www.verizon.com or by calling AIS toll-free number.  On March 11, 2024, *** was terminated, and the wireless number ending in 7437 is no longer enrolled in the *** program.

      The *** program materials include the following information relevant to your concerns:

      Non-Return Fee: If you receive a replacement device, your original device must be returned to us (unless it has been lost or stolen) using the prepaid shipping label provided with your replacement device. Under the ********************** program, a Non-Return Fee of up to $300, based on the cost of the claim to Liberty Insurance ***************** (or its affiliates), *** be charged for your failure to return your original device. Under the ******* Extended Warranty, a Non-Return Fee of up to the full retail price of the replacement device *** be charged for your failure to return your original device.

      The *** Insurance Policy includes the following information relevant to your concerns:

      E.INSUREDS DUTIES IN EVENT OF LOSS TO INSUREDS COVERED PROPERTY
      In the event of loss or damage to Covered Property, the Insured presenting the claim must cooperate with us and see that the following are done:

      8.Return of Damaged and/or Malfunctioning Covered Property
      The Additional Insured is required to return the damaged property including, if coverage is provided under the policy, property that suffered mechanical and electrical breakdown, to the Authorized Service Center or other designated location. If the replacement equipment is sent to you, you will be provided a prepaid shipping label and envelope in which to return the damaged property.Disposal of the damaged Covered Property other than by returning it to the Authorized Service Center, or other location designated by us, requires the prior consent of us or our Agent. If the damaged Covered Property is not returned as directed within 15 days of the receipt of the replacement equipment, a Non-Return Fee as applicable to the model of Covered Property, not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300) *** be charged to the Additional Insured.

      Asurion conducted a full review of the relevant account and claim history with the aim to, where possible,remediate the matter.  On January 23, 2024,after validating the ******* Wireless account, you completed an online claim for a damaged ******* Galaxy Z Fold4 5G (256GB) (Claimed Device) for the wireless number ending in 7437.  During the claim completion process, the terms of the claim were accepted, which included the return of the Claimed Device to the fulfillment center within fifteen (15) days, and the $99 replacement deductible was satisfied by a debit/credit card.  On January 24, 2024, a ******* Galaxy Z Fold4 5G (256GB) (Replacement Device) was delivered to the address provided.

      In researching the matter thoroughly, we confirmed that there is no record of any contact with Asurion on your wireless account on January 26, 2024 or January 29, 2024, and no record of a second Replacement Device being ordered or shipped from Asurion.  The next contact we have a record of,following your January 23, 2024 claim, was on February 17, 2024, when you requested an extension for the return of the Claimed Device.  An extension was granted as a customer courtesy, with March 9, 2024, as the expected return date of the Claimed Device.

      The *** tracking number you provided to an Asurion representative on that February 17, 2024 phone call, 1Z4E9W390625909068, does reflect delivery on February 5, 2024, but no associated device was scanned into the fulfillment center.

      As stated in the Terms and Conditions cited above, an additional non-returned equipment charge *** apply for causes other than loss or theft if you fail to return the Covered Property within fifteen (15) days to the fulfillment center.  Having not received the damaged Claimed Device after the extension expired, on March 10,2024, Asurion assessed a $300 non-returned device charge to the debit/credit card associated with the above-referenced claim, which was in accordance with the *** program materials and Insurance Policy.

      Based on the above, your claim was properly assessed the $300 non-returned device charge.  However, following receipt of the BBB matter, as a customer courtesy, on March 12, 2024, we refunded the $300 non-returned device charge.  Therefore,we consider the matter resolved.

      We sincerely apologize to you for any inconvenience this *** have caused.  We make a commitment to our customers to make the claim process easy and convenient, and we truly regret that this was not your experience.

      Please feel free to contact me if you have any other concerns or questions.  I am available by email Monday through Friday from the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CST.

      Regarding the above-referenced case that you filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), we submit the below in response.

      The case you filed with the BBB on March 9, 2024, states:

      Ive been trying to file a claim for my lost Iohone 15 pro *** via online and over the phone.  Each time they tell me wait 24 hours for review and dont get back to me with follow up or next steps.  And prevent me from even looking into the claim.

      The desired resolution listed in your case states the following:

      Replacement;Refund.

      Response:

      ******* Mobile Protect (***) is an optional device ********************** program that is available to ******* Wireless customers and provides coverage for eligible devices that are lost, stolen, damaged or experience post-warranty malfunctions. Asurion Insurance Services, Inc. (Asurion) is the program administrator for the Wireless Phone Protection insurance program (***),which is a component of *** and provides coverage for loss, theft, and damage.  In addition to the *** insurance coverage, *** includes ******* Extended Warranty (EW) protection, which is a ******* service contract that provides coverage in the event the customers device experiences a malfunction or defect after the manufacturers warranty has expired.

      On November 15, 2023, you enrolled the wireless number ending in 4268 in ***, and it remains enrolled.  Following your enrollment, on November 27, 2023, Asurion sent you a Welcome Kit.  The Welcome Kit included the *** Terms and Conditions, including the *** Wireless Communications Equipment Coverage Insurance Policy ("Insurance Policy").  In addition, program brochures detailing the *** Terms and Conditions, including the Insurance Policy, are available at ******* retail locations at the time the customer decides to enroll in ***.  These materials can also be obtained at any time at the customers convenience online at www.phoneclaim.com/verizon or www.verizon.com or by calling Asurions toll-free number.

      The *** Coverage Certificate states the following regarding the matter:

      A.COVERAGE
      2. Covered Property
      Covered Property means only the mobile wireless communications equipment as follows:
      If you have subscribed to Line Based Coverage: Covered Property means the wireless device owned by you for which: 1) the unique identification number (International Mobile Equipment Identity (****)), Electronic Serial Number (ESN), or ********************** Equipment ID (MEID) of such wireless device is reflected in the records of the Wireless Service Provider at the time your coverage initially became effective; and 2) for which outgoing airtime usage has been logged with the Wireless Service Provider on the account after coverage became effective; unless you have logged outgoing airtime on a different wireless phone immediately prior to the time of loss, in which case such wireless device becomes the Covered Property so long as: i) such wireless device is owned by you and you provide us proof of ownership and ii) airtime usage was logged on such device on the account with the Wireless Service Provider immediately prior to the time of loss.

      G. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
      4. Eligibility
      To be eligible for coverage you must 1.  be a valid, active and current subscriber of the Wireless Service Provider or an approved user of a ********************** number on a valid, active and current account with the Wireless Service Provider for which the account holder has authorized coverage;

      In reviewing your claim history, Asurion confirmed that between February 20, 2024 and March 30, 2024, you filed multiple claims for a lost or stolen Apple iPhone 15 **************** with the International Mobile Equipment Identity (****)ending in 0137 (Claimed Device 1) or with the **** ending in 1378 (Claimed Device 2) for the wireless number ending in 4268.  The loss dates you provided were February 14, 2024 and February 15, 2024, as outlined below:

      Three (3) of the eight (8) claims were subsequently denied because there was wireless activity associated with Claimed Device 1 and Claimed Device 2 active on the wireless number ending in 4268 after the loss dates you provided (i.e., February 14, 2024 and February 15, 2024).

      Five (5) of the eight (8) claims were denied because your ******* account was suspended due to non-payment.  Per the terms and conditions of the *** program cited above (G.4.a.), to remain eligible for coverage, an active and current account with the Wireless Service Provider is required.

      Following a subsequent review, Asurion determined that the account was active and current at that time; however, the claims would have been denied because there was wireless activity associated with Claimed Device 1 and Claimed Device 2 active on the wireless number ending in 4268 after the loss dates you provided (i.e., February 14, 2024 and February 15, 2024).

      Following the above, on March 30, 2024, you filed another claim, this time reporting that Claimed Device 1 was malfunctioning.  However,there was no indication that Claimed Device 1, which was previously reported on multiple occasions as being lost or stolen, had been recovered.  Nevertheless,the claim was systematically canceled by Asurion because you reported that Claimed Device 1 experienced a mechanical/electrical failure outside the manufacturers warranty period. For clarity, the *** program provides (1) insurance coverage for devices that are lost, stolen, or damaged, which is administered by Asurion, and (2)extended warranty (EW) coverage for devices that experience a malfunction/failure outside of the manufacturers warranty period, which is admistered by *******.  Customers who report malfunction failures outside of the 12-month manufacturers warranty are instructed to contact ******* to file an EW claim.  At that time, you were instructed to contact ******* for assistance with filing an EW claim.

      Based on the above, we believe the claim cancelation and denials were appropriate.  You are welcome to submit a new claim online at www.phoneclaim.com/verizon or by calling Asurion at ************.  Please note that all claims are subject to review, and the review process is not meant to be an inconvenience but rather is designed to protect customers accounts.

      The policy guidelines Asurion is following have been explained in this letter, and therefore we consider this matter addressed.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.  I am available by email Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CST.

      Response:

      As stated in our previous response, multiple claims were denied because there was wireless activity associated with Claimed Device 1 and Claimed Device 2, which were both reported lost or stolen, well after the loss dates you provided.  We are happy to review any additional information you may have to support your claim, but at this time, we cannot approve your claim based on the information available to us.

      If Claimed Device 1 has been recovered and is now malfunctioning as you reported on March 30, 2024, we refer you to ******* to file an Extended Warranty claim.  As the program materials state, claims for loss, theft, or damage may be filed with Asurion.  However, claims for post-warranty malfunctions must be filed with ******* at **************. 

      The policy guidelines Asurion is following have been explained in this letter, and therefore we consider this matter closed.
