      Dear Ms. ********:

      Thank you for directing this matter to my attention.  I apologize for any frustration the claims process may have caused the consumer.

      I have set up a call back so the examiner can review the new additional documentation received and discuss the claim with the consumer for finalization. The consumer should receive a call within the next 5 business days.

      If the consumer has any additional questions or concerns, the Claim Department can be reached at *************

      I filed a claim in late August regarding concert tickets that I purchased before Covid. The concert was rescheduled, but eventually took place. However, I was unable to attend due to possible exposure of Covid. I have sent receipts to them, letters from my boss & doctor. And they continue to ask for documents that were already sent & keep saying check back in 10 days. It has been over 2 months. I have not been able to get anyone on the phone or to answer me more than check back in 10 days. I would like my money refunded back to due for the tickets. I had no control over the pandemic. I purchased the insurance policy prior to all of this. It shouldn't have to take this long. Thank you ******* ******* ************************ ************

      I am a frequent traveler. I purchased Allianz Travel Insurance for my ******** ******** flight from *** to *** which occurred on July 6th, 2021. My luggage was lost. I immediately called upon arrival and they told me the steps to go through. First was to contact my credit card company to file a claim with them, which I did. I also filed a claim with ******** ********, *** airport, and the TSA. I then began to gather the required documents to file with Allianz. This took me until about July 13th. I had to include receipts of items in my luggage, despite accepting that I would be at a lose (Ie- no receipts for my actual bag, and quite a few other items that I was unable to find a receipt for) I did everything they asked. I uploaded all documents including correspondence and claim numbers with all mentioned claims above. I continually updated them via uploading documents anytime I received correspondence. I called a few times and confirmed all documents required were in fact received. I was told in August that my claim was almost finished being processed and I would hear from them within 2 business days maximum. I continually checked their website and nothing had been updated. I contacted them in September and never received any form of response. I have continually tried to reach them to find out what exactly is going on, and I haven’t received a response via email or phone. It has now been almost four months since I had to contact them because of my lost luggage. This is not in congruence with the service they claim to provide. I no longer trust the peace of mind I received from travel insurance or anything related to that. I have never filed a claim and I have never had my luggage lost. Instead of helping me through the process, I have wasted time and money in order to attempt to receive the help they promise to give upon purchasing their travel insurance. Any help is immensely appreciated. Thank you.

      I filed a claim on August 28th for a travel delay, clearly covered by my insurance policy. I sent the email from the common carrier stating that our flight was delayed and I sent the receipts for the covered expenses. On September 22nd I was asked to provide more documents. Allianz required the itinerary for the trip and the invoice. I called and queried why they needed these and was told it was their "policy". I still see no reason for needing these documents as I had already furnished them with the relevant ones. I regarded it as a delaying tactic. However, on September 24th, I uploaded these requested documents. I was told that the claim would be settled in 10 business days. That was over a month ago. I have phoned and I have emailed but they say they have a lot of claims and they will get round to it in due course. They got round to it in September when they asked for irrelevant documents. This is simply a way of not paying genuine claims. I shudder to think what their reaction would be to a large complicated claim. I will certainly not be using this company in the future.

      I purchased insurance in case I was unable to attend an event. I was not able to attend due to a medical condition. I mailed all the documentation I was asked. Proof of purchase, a doctor note verification . Now they requested the same information again including more information about the medical condition details , which I thought were confidential. They want unused tickets which were not issued. Only an emailed version

I filed a claim on 9/7/21 I received one email on 9/16 stating that it was under review with no follow up I repeatedly went to the Allianz website and checked the status The website has said the following for over a week: “In Process Your claim is in the last phase of review. Please allow five days for us to finalize your claim.” See screenshot for reference I called today and still received no answer I need to be refunded the ticket price as it was covered by the insurance I purchased through Allianz

      Bought travel insurance through Allianz, decided I didn’t need any, cancelled within the time frame and have been receiving the run-around as to why I have not received my payment back. Have contacted 3 times and told to wait 30 days. Today is the 30 day mark and they (Peter & Celcilia) told me they were unable to credit back my credit card and that a check was mailed on 9/28/2021. I advised I have no t received a check and Cecilia told me I have to wait another 3 days for them to review and void and resend another check. She refused to contact the finance department stating she couldn’t, but them said she would let them know to review my account and resend a check. She was extremely rude & was unwilling to help. I am out $***** and will probably not see that money.
