I purchased ********** Guard insurance for a trip to ****** my wife and I were taking from September *****, 2024.Unfortunate my wife who suffers from early signs of dementia was told by her doctor in July that it would be best if she did not travel, especially to *******Because of this we started the process of filing a claim with ********** Guard and submitting the necessary documentation.Everytime we checked on our claim we were told it was missing certain documents that we had already submitted.We finally submitted all the correct documents and had to submit them 3-4 times before I received a call from the adjustor, ***** ******, telling me the claim was turned down because one of the boxes on the medical form from her doctor was not checked correctly. This was in late July.I had the doctors form changed and once again submitted all the documents (13 pages) in late August. The only response I received was an email telling me they received my documents.Customer service says the claim review can take 3-4 "business" weeks before you hear anything. I check on October 8th and I was told by customer service that the claim would be submitted that day. What happened for the month of September?I have spoked with customer service 3x since October 8th and got nowhere. In my last call this week I asked the agent to send a message to ***** ****** to call me. No call! Nothing!This company is absolutely impossible to work with and has no regard for their clients who have paid, in my case, $545.00 for this insurance coverage.Something needs to be done so that every customer does not have to go through this aggravation.Customer response

Claim was fully submitted on 09/23/24 with representative saying I have provided all necessary information.$149.00 taken from my bank account on 09/24/24 The business committed to "We will contact you within 2 business days with details about your claim." &"Your card will not be charged until your claim has been approved."The dispute is they have not contacted me within the 2 business days. I had to contact them and they could not tell me why the money was taken out without the claim being approved. The representative did not know why it happened. When I got a supervisor on the phone all he could say was if the money was taken out then the claim was approved. However, their website states "Once your claim is approved, your device is ordered and shipped directly from ***** via next-business-day delivery Monday through Friday; when available, Saturday delivery may be available for an additional fee."We are on the 4th business day since the money was taken out and no tracking number has been provided nor has a phone been delivered. I have also not been emailed or called regarding the situation.The business has not tried to resolve the problem. I reached out to them twice with no answers on why the money was taken out when the claim doesn't show it is approved. I have also not received an answer about when I will get my replacement device. They have never reached out to me. I have both times had to reach out to them. Their website FAQ also states "For questions regarding your shipment or hardware issues, please contact ***** at **************." I contacted Apple directly and they said this is not true, and that *** handles the claim from start to finish. ***** said any questions or concerns have to be directed towards ***. So, I get the run around from both companies with no answers from anyone.Customer response

My husband and I purchased this insurance in conjunction with travel plans from ************** to ************, ** to see his grandmother. My husband is an ****************** stationed in **************. His leave was approved before we booked the travel plans through Expedia. We purchased the travel insurance from this site. Unfortunately, due to the weather, it was UNFORSEEN that my husbands leave would be revoked. We had to then cancel the travel plans. When we presented the documentation for cancellation, we included a letter from his command that my husband was essential to the mission for ************** and his leave was revoked as the storms damage, which was UNFORSEEN at the time of booking, would be more than expected. We submitted all of this to Aon and they denied the refund that was requested per the insurance purpose. The refund should be in the amount of $248.37. We booked the trip 7/30/2024. The trip was from August 8-10, 2024. We had to cancel the plans 8/5/2024 due to the restriction being placed. This circumstance IS included in the description of coverage as we did check, just in case, before booking. They are now stating that this is not a covered circumstance and are refusing to refund our booking.Initial Complaint

My wife *************************** and I paid $235 for a 5-year warranty early in 2023. Whirlpool refrigerator. We called in Winter 2023 because the ice maker and the front panel lights were not working. They sent a person who saw roaches, took pictures, did not do any work, then reported his findings. I later called ************ to an affiliate of *************************** *********************************************. I was told to get rid of the roaches. On review of the warranty they say I must provide a safe work space for their repair people. But I was told that roaches destroy refrigerators by both the repair person and the person on the phone. It was like they were saying that if you have roaches, you're a fool to buy a Whirlpool refrigerator and even more of a fool to purchase our warranty. We do not keep roaches as pets. After talking to the service guys we doubled our efforts. We've tried very hard and this year we have succeeded in getting rid of the roaches. I said to the company that we were free of roaches, but they said they needed a signed statement from a professional pest control company. This past year has been hard for us. My wife has been diagnosed with cancer. My doctors believe that I have cancer and I am waiting on the results of an ultrasound. Many ***** sprays contain chemicals that can be harmful. There is evidence to suggest that bug sprays are linked to cancer. We want to minimize exposure to chemicals, especially now. We have found that ***** motels do as advertised and kill the nest, eliminating the ***** problem without toxic sprays. A selling point of ***** warranty is an upfront payment to reduce payment for services. They're trying to force me to pay for services that I don't want before they will service my refrigerator. This rule is not in our warranty and nowhere to be found before making a purchase. I want to take pictures of the service area around our refrigerator, submit them, and then have them out to repair our refrigerator.Initial Complaint

I was offered collision insurance thru *** when I booked my car rental thru Expedia.com for our trip to ******* 6-23-2024 thru 7-3-2024. When I arrived in ******, IE to pick up the vehicle at SIXT, I was informed SIXT does not honor 3rd party insurance issued by ***. I contacted *** today (7/6/2024) and was told I could only receive a refund within 15 days of the purchase date. Why is Expedia and *** offering insurance for vehicles when certain car rental agencies do not accept it?
