I have tried on numerous occasions to cancel my insurance policies, having done exactly as the company told me to do. I cancelled them via an emailed letter to both the insurance agent and the company directly, and a month later, they said they hadn't cancelled anything and were still sending us bills. I want my insurance policies cancelled and I want to be refunded the amount I paid after I submitted my cancellation request in writing.Business response

For over 25 years I paid $29.12 every month for a $20,000 policy when I received my premium for for this month I noticed my insured amount was changed from $20,000 to $10,000. When I called to find out what happened, they informed me I had a rider that expired and cut my insurance in half. I told them that was ridiculous and why didn't they inform me of this in writing. The never answered and hung up on me.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/08/10) */ Liberty National Life Insurance Company (the "Company") apologizes for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused Mrs. ****, in processing the Automatic Premium Loan ("APL") reversals, as well as cancellation of the loan check, which were due to an inadvertent clerical oversight. Accordingly, we have reversed the APL's from four (4) of Mrs. ****'s policies, as well as removed and cancelled the loan check. Additionally, in November of 2020, we announced the marketing "rebrand" of Liberty National products. Liberty National Life Insurance Company is a subsidiary of Globe Life Inc.

In 2016 my father passed away in NY. They requested all his files since it was within 2 years and denied the claim. I saw that there was a lawsuit in NY for that time period but I never heard from anyone. I really question their ability to do this due to his reason of death. Just seems like they dont want to pay out. The other insurance he had at the time paid out and didnt request the amount of paperwork they did.Business response
