    My actual email sent to VA *********************** whom it may concern,I respectfully request to cancel this agreement dated August 17, 2024. I/m well within the 30 days required to cancel.1. I have not been able to log onto your website (portal page) to complete all the necessary tasks that are required of me to be successful in your program. I made two separate appointments with *** ********** in an attempt to get help but he didn't call me back at the scheduled time nor did he attempt to even reschedule these appointments. 2. As a result of this system failure I'm unable to complete the tasks that are required of me. Section 3 (b) of our contract states, "**** provides automated educational tools for Client to complete his/her own claim, to include training videos and VA Claims Insider proprietary resources". I haven't been able to complete more than a few basic tasks before I began to have issues. Thus far you haven't been able to supply me with the necessary resources to succeed in this program. 3. I find myself unable to be successful with your program if you're unwilling to provide assistance to complete all the necessary tasks per our contract. 4. For the record I sent *** ********** an email asking to be assigned to another team so I could get help and continue in the program but he never answered or acknowledged my email. For the above stated reasons and a few I haven't mentioned please cancel my contract with no further financial obligations to your organization, as no services have been rendered nor did you assist me in making any claims. Respectfully submitted,Veteran *********** ****** I don't see why I'm expected to pay for any future increase in my VA rating when this company wasn't unable to provide me with the required training video's etc. as per our contract. You can see I was not able to complete the program so why am I still financially responsible? All I want is to be treated fairly. Thank you.

    VA insider claim was assistim me in get an increase in my VA rating. We filed for an increase on a previous rating. It was denied. The coach was trying to come up with a plan. We didnt have anything in motion. I went to my primary VA doctor and he sent me to get my hearing revaluated. And they filed paper work and i recieved and in crease on my hearing. My coach and i never spoke about the hearing increase. Once i told him they increased my hearing rating he want me to pay for there services. $3000.00 . If it was something we were working on and i got the increase i have no issue paying. But paying for a service that wasnt provided. Is absolutely not right.

    I contacted the VA claims insider for assistance with filing a claim for VA disability. I understood that this suppose to a educational type assistance. I have not received the type assistance i thought I would receive. I was referred to videos online with information that frankly did not give me much insight. The va claims insider did nothing but refer me to videos. I talked my so called coach Once in the beginning when signed up and then when I was given the disability increase. The reason i am filing a complaint is the charging me ******* dollars for this so called service the provided, which is no service at all. I did all the work filing the claim, following up with va office. They did nothing at all to earn *******. I feel this is a scam. I feel that the falsely represented themselves. I do not wish to pay 600 a month for 12 months to resolve this. I feel cheated and I would recommend any one use them for anything. this can be done for free the the regional va office. The fees are not explained clearly and for this amount I feel is too much. I think that the better business bureau should investigate and shut down this business.

    I signed up for assistance with a claim. The "coach" gave me a story of how a previous client tied his claim for a physical disability to a claim for mental health (depression). Which of course is a larger % claim. I told the coach I do not have MH but there was addition conversation which strongly encouraged me to apply for MH.I also received texts from the coach's asisstance at 2:58 AM, during the week telling me that they are there if I need assistance and I am not alone.I received numerous other texts asking if I needed assistance which was more of the prelude to "if my claim has been approved". They wanted me to use their medical services for nexus and evaluations. I told the coach that the process is easy as I have medical documentation along with a MRI indicating my medical condition. He told me that it was NOT ******* appeared to be argumentative. And this is a guy who is suppose to be working for me???Lastly they continue to call about the status of the claim during my work hours. I have asked numerous times to contact me after 5pm est, but they continue to call during my work day.Are they helpful? Very little for the amount that they charge. I spoke with the coach for less than an hour and they want 6X my claim Increase. I would not recommend. I would use an accredited va claims agent. Not VA Claim Insider. There are numerous free options out there that do the same if not better. They are also being sued by the Attorney General in ** for fraudulent and deceptive practices and other states are looking into their practices.

    I would like to share my experience with VA Claims Insider. I was assigned to Coach ***. Right away I felt Coach *** was not very good at connecting with me. He was very short in conversation and did not explain to me very well what I needed to do. The second red flag came when Coach *** missed one of our scheduled phone call appointments. After two weeks I finally got Coach *** on the phone. Coach *** apologized and said that he has over 150 veterans they take care of. That would explain the dry, unfriendly demeanor. Shortly after that, I had a fallout with Coach ***. Up to this point, I was frustrated with the program because nothing was clear, no real help, no guidance, no real coaching. He missed two more appointments and his demeanor did not change. What do these guys get paid for? All I was told to do was to watch the videos. I finally got to my review for my rating. I was nervous the day before and was hoping for a better direction before the interview from Coach ***, but nothing no direction. It was a cold call and I will be okay. I went to my appointment and by the ***** of God, all went well. I was upset that my coach did not call me the next day to see how it went. Wouldnt he want to know the outcome of my appointment even more so since I called him the day before? Coach *** did not call me back for 4 months. I was so ****** off because I had not received any help, no direction, and no real coaching. I finally got a call from a secretary. Thats when I decided to take matters into my own hands. I filed a complaint with VA Claim Insider and spoke to his supervisor ***** ****. I filed a complaint that I did not receive any real help, I went into my rating review and was honest and got my award. These guys are scammers. They can't help you with your rating, they are not even credited to help you. They are asking for me to pay $12,000 for a service they did not provide please stay away from them.

    Dear Mr. *********************** you for your feedback. We apologize for the issues you experienced with Coach *** and understand your frustration. We take your concerns seriously and strive to improve based on feedback like yours.
    Regarding your account, on 10/23/2023, we completed a review, and on 10/30/2023, we offered you a 10% discount on our services. You responded that you needed a week to decide, but we did not hear back from you. On 1/4/2024, your account was sent to collections for non-payment. At this point, we are unable to assist further, and you will need to work directly with the collection company.

    I am rejecting this response because: The state of Texas is preparing to take VA Claim Insider to court and they have asked me to be part of several veterans that will testify of the lack of professionalism and help that they give. I did not receive any real help from ***. I wrote my General State Attorney when I was fet up with the lack of help that I was getting. I feel like this response is another attempt to sweep me under the rug, just like the coaches you have employed. This is not fair to the men and women who risk their lives for this country. I would advice you to remove the fake debt that you have on file. This debt did not come from the service you provided, this is not fair and not right. My experience with *** has been horriable and many veterans agree. I will have to testify in court when the state of ***** has gathered all the information they need. You have a good day.

    I reached out to VA Claims Insider for assistance with improving my VA rating. I had been working on it using my own resources but thought the company might provide additional support. I signed up to get a coach, which I understood would be a more hands-on service.Throughout the entire process, I only had a total of ***** minutes of interaction with a coach and a female associate. I was told to watch a few ******* videos (which I did), but I ended up doing the majority of the work myself.I was later told by their financial manager that, despite not needing all of the services they offered, I was still responsible for the full fee because the services were "available" to me, even though I didn't use them. That explanation is ridiculousit's like taking your car in for new tires, getting charged $3,000, and being told you could have gotten a new engine too, even if you didnt need or request it!For 30 minutes of phone calls and three ******* videos, I was charged over $10,000. Now, this bill is in collections, which I am continuing to fight. This is an outrageous overcharge for the minimal services provided, and I am seeking resolution.

    Business response

    Thank you for sharing your experience, Mr. ******* We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've encountered and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Our goal is to provide veterans with the guidance and resources needed to improve their VA rating, and we regret that you did not feel fully supported throughout your journey with us.

    An account review was completed for you, and I personally reached out on March 6th, 2024, to go over the findings. During that call, I explained that Coach ****** provided the level of service promised with the Elite Membership, and there were no service misses on his part. I also informed you that we would not be extending a discount on your invoice. At that point, you chose to end the call.

    Regarding the fee, our services cover a wide range of support throughout the process, which may not always be fully utilized by every client. However, we value your feedback and are committed to improving transparency around this issue to avoid any confusion in the future.

    After several months of non-payment, we regret to inform you that your account has now been transferred to collections. Moving forward, any discussions or inquiries regarding the account will need to be directed to the collection agency.

    We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to reach out to the collection agency for further assistance in resolving the matter.

    I was seeking information and help with my VA Claims as the process is very complex. VA Claims Insider was more than willing to talk but did not disclose their fees while onboarding. Apparently I signed a contract on August 1st, 2023, I dont remember reading about any fees while onboarding and I read everything. They slipped it into a generated contract that they emailed me after the fact with 3 other emails. I spoke with *********************** a total of three times, if memory serves, over the course of a year. He looked over my lay statement and I submitted. I had made all of my appointments, wrote all my statements, and did all the research myself. He really just validated my work. When trying to schedule another appointment almost 6 months later, the appointment was canceled and his secretary set up a later appointment. It was also canceled. I made two more appointments that came and went. When I finally got a call from them it was nearly a year, they said I was being assigned a new coach. I cancelled that and informed them I would be going another direction. They sent me a text stating that they could not cancel my contract until I uploaded my decision letter? I replied that I was unaware of a contract? So I began digging. I found the generated contract and read through it. There were the fees and the reason for them wanting me to upload my decision letter. Havent heard from them in months and all they were focused on was my decision letter. Those fees were not there in the onboarding, they only disclose them after the fact which is some major bait and switch ********. I am filing a complaint for the record but have no plan to pay fees as they were completely dishonest in their non-disclosure. This is not a legitimate contract, they offer no actual advice other than to validate work you do yourself and that is not my signature on the contract. A contract must be original otherwise how can it be validated that the contents were disclosed when signed.

    Good Morning **** *******,

    Thank you for discussing your account with me. I understand that you do not recall signing an agreement; however, it was completed using your email address and is linked to your IP address. The contract outlines all associated fees charged by our organization. I see that you uploaded your decision letter and did not achieve a favorable outcome. As a result, we will proceed with canceling your contract, and you will have no further financial obligations to our organization. If you have any additional concerns that were not addressed during our conversation, please feel free to reach out to me.

    VA Claims Insider claimed to be able to help me through my process with coaching and step by step support. Anytime there was a call scheduled I was rushed off the phone and never received much support. To guidance a call needed to be scheduled a week in advance and if I were fit into the schedule I was again rushed off the phone or promised a call back I would never receive. I was able to submit a claim purely on my own with the coach having me watch ******* videos that are open to public for guidance. They not only charge you to walk you through the process they also want you to pay $600 to a third party for them to coach you through the C&P exam. VA Claims Insider take a benfit that veterans earned and found a way to scam people out of as much of that money as possible. Now that they want to collect money they call everyday and text, I could not get that type of response when I was in the process of a claim. I dealt with VA Claims insider around 8/23.

    Recently in Feb i was seeking help/guidance for putting in VA claims since i have an extreme difficulty talking about myself & while in the military i didn't give myself the time to get medically checked out for issues i was having. Living overseas in ***** also adds to that difficulty, but i digress. Hence why i attempted to use CI as a form of guidance. From quick memory i've had a total of 4 phone calls with them, 2 of which were the onboarding rep & the other 2 were my coach. The onboarding felt a little rushed, but i thought nothing of it. I told them my rating & wanted help trying to get my migraines re-evaluated & to also my insomnia. I even told them to please be mindful of the time difference because it's a 13h difference, which they ignored many times & called me at 2-3am. They went straight for my migraines claim & have had near 0 help with the insomnia. Basically that insomnia is difficult to prove & that's about it. Something a friend/family could have told me. At the same time i was collecting data on my insomnia for 2 years for a solid case. VA immediately denied my migraines, but scheduled me with a psychiatrist for the insomnia & that went through. My own work with no help from them at all. I told them about my increase & next thing you know i have a $5,500 bill sitting in my email. They basically slapped their name on my work. I roughly calculated it up. 4 total calls spanning 2h of time. 2 of which were the onboarding, 2 were my coach. I told them this in an ********* got a call from a Claims Rep saying she would look into it & get back with me. That was back in early ********** heard nothing since, but best believe CI has sent me an email about payment like clockwork every week. Dont get me wrong, i would have absolutely no problem paying for help at all, but there was no help, no insight, *********** told the rep this. I'm not paying any service bill because there was no service given at all. It's just fraud & scamming on veterans needing help.

    Good afternoon *************,

    I hope you are doing well.

    Thank you for your patience while I reviewed your concerns. I want to express my gratitude for your patience during the review process of your concerns.

    I have carefully looked over our CRM records and the resources you were able to use based on the concerns you have outlined. Our account review and records indicated that your coach did offer support and guidance towards the success of your claim strategy. After listening to the calls, your coach provided guidance and a solid strategy plan. Please note, it is not always the quantity of the calls, but it is also the quality of the support given.

    Upon conducting a thorough review of your account, we carefully assessed the parameters for discount consideration. Coach ***** especially offered you solid support and guidance on these phone calls and messages. I did see that there were some gaps in comms, zero comms in February. 60 + days without comms. Two total phone calls just under 60 minutes. It has also taken OPS much longer than the allotted time to respond back to ************** with our account findings.

    Reasons for discount: Gap in communication
    Current Invoice: $5587.29
    Less 15% discount: $1500.00
    New Invoice: $4087.29

    Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

    I am rejecting this response because: after their apparent "review" it only furthers my counter claim for them seeking payment from me. I'm being told that not even 1 hour of work through 2 phone calls is worth the same expense as it was & having some discount is going to make me feel any different about why i initially counter-claimed. I was completely forgotten for over a month even from their CSR who was supposed to be reviewing my interactions with them & giving some semblance of justification for their ridiculous invoice cost, which doesn't even state relevancy to my why my VA-rating increased which was for my insomnia. Had i had an invoice for my 2nd claim for migraines & it was reasonable, yea i would highly consider paying that, but i had near 0 help for my insomnia claim except advice that a family member / friend could have given me. Yet i'm supposed to believe that their "quality of work" is justified a $4,000+ bill. It took over a month of trying to call them directly, emailing multiple times, & filing a claim with the BBB for them to even remember i exist. It took over a week of waiting just for them to respond to my claim through the BBB & currently it's almost 11:00am EST which means they, just as enthusiastically as everything else, did my "carefully looked over" review this morning probably. I could have gotten my call records, documented everything said, & still had a better response time had i done it all myself. They've called me multiple times during the night when i originally told them "be mindful of when you call me because i'm basically +12h ahead of them" which, with their "quality of work" forgot about every times . Their "quality of work" is their key selling point. That's ridiculous. 

    They try to give me some "settlement" for some stupid discount which only concerns THEIR time justified by "gap in communications" for $1500, yet they're trying to preach to me they have some GOD tier "quality of work" that comes with a $4,000 bill from apparently is even less than what i gave them credit for & i was trying to be generous giving them the benefit of the doubt. Now i'm being told that their "quality of work" for 2 phone calls totaling less than 1 hour is still worth $5,000, but because of their inability to communicate, they'll give me a $1,500 discount because 'oops, their bad'.

     

    I want my invoice 0'd out & nothing to do with this company anymore. **** has given me nothing but problems throughout this whole ordeal. I have nothing against my coach the TWO whole interactions i've had with him, but i dont think his time is worth $66.67/minute.

    Good afternoon **************,

    I apologize that our previous response did not meet your expectations. I understand your concern regarding the limited number of calls received, and I would like to address this matter.
    Upon reviewing your account, I noted that on January 24, 2024, you requested to be contacted via email only. As a result, I found a total of 32 email exchanges between you, your coach, and your assistant, along with 63 emails sent from our Insider Portal.
    In our thorough review of your account and evaluation of the parameters for discount consideration, we noted that Coach ***** provided you with substantial support and guidance through phone calls and messages. However, we identified a communication gap, with no contact in February and a total of 60+ days without communication. There were only two phone calls, totaling just under 60 minutes. Additionally, our Operations team took longer than expected to respond to your account inquiries.
    Based on these findings, we are offering a discount due to the communication gap:
    Current Invoice: $5,587.29
    Less discount: $1,500.00
    New Invoice: $4,087.29

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

    Kind regards,

    Complaint: 21812947

    I am rejecting this response because: this is a total waste of time for not only me, but everyone else involved. First if was based on specifically 2 "God Tier" phone calls, now it's based in email. Yes I did request to mainly be contacted via email, but no one working at VACI ever cared about that. I received multiple calls during the night/early morning asking me questions that could 100% have been asked in an email so do not use that excuse. For whatever email traffic you say was given, you absolutely cannot be talking about all the bloat traffic emails that you'd send out daily & weekly. Most of your email traffic was from your immensely difficult to comment section on your impossible to navigate app. If your read in "good quality work" is adding me to an email group that automatically gets sent out, then yea great job. If you have to stretch your reasoning out to such lengths, you know you have nothing, which again, has nothing to do with the current issue is. Your invoice to me is for my VA rating increasing due to my insomnia. You did not help me with my insomnia more than any random person in the street could. This is just an absolute waste of my time. You know you're grasping for straws & have nothing. 

     

    Again I'll say this. I want a copy of my call records, I want my balance reduced to 0 at this point. I would have paid you AN amount for helping me like I said in my call with the **** but you're wasting so much of my time with all this & you're just trying to be scummy & build off my own hard work. And finally I want whatever contract I have to be voided because I will never be using this company ever again. 

    Regards,
