In January of 2024 this company had one of their agents come sell me on upgrading my policy because prices will be going up soon and it was more cost effective to upgrade now and be locked in to the fixed rate, after the upgrade I was charged FOUR that following month. I reached out to the agent multiple times and was told he'd take care of it multiple times and never did so after a month of waiting on him I called in to the customer service line explained the situation of being overcharged they acted like they didn't know what was going on so I told them to just cancel everything this was in March of 2024 I was told they'd send paperwork or email to retrieve the cash flow still left on my policy. I never received the paperwork or email and when I called back in June 2024 to ask about the paperwork to retrieve my money they told me they continued my policy and used the money left in my policy to continue my services that I had already asked them to cancel back in March, I was never told that the paperwork was needed back by a certain time I was under the impression everything was deactivated back in March when I called to cancel, and they just took it upon themselves to continue just because I didn't return the paperwork I never even received. They also admit to not letting customers know about that not to mention they have agents telling you something to get the sale and when you call in to customer service they just apologize for being told the wrong information and excuse it saying both are seperate entities never doing anything to rectify the issueBusiness response

I have been paying $13.99 a month for the last 2 years for Theft+Loss protection with *** for my Iphone 13 Pro. This past weekend my phone was stolen. I was unable to file a theft+loss protection claim with *** until my Apple ID was unlocked. To unlock my Apple ID I spent 4 day on the phone talking with multiple Apple Support employees. Finally I was able to submit a claim to *** Theft+Loss on 6/4. Mind you it still cost $150 to get a new phone in addition to the $13.99 I have been paying for 2 years. *** denied my claim due to Find my Iphone being turned off, which was part of specific instructs by APPLE SUPPORT. *** needs to replace my stolen phone as advertised and remove the **** they are running to steal and additional $13.99 without providing an actual service.Business response

We've been trying to get the death benefits from my father's policy since Jan, 2024. We have completed the necessary paperwork, sent in the death certificate (original copy) and provided all information as requested by *****. For the past 4 months VALIC continues to resend paperwork we've already completed, pretend they didn't get the death certificate, stalled the payment by using any/every tactic possible. Now they tell us the checks were issued "but they must have been lost in the mail". WORST COMPANY EVER. If anyone wants to start a civil suit against them, count me in.Business response

I feel that I was scammed by what I thought was a reputable company. My dad, passed away February 14, 2024. I was advised by the Funeral Home that I was the beneficiary of his policy. I contacted American General around 2/16/24 and I was told that I was sole beneficiary on two policies.Then I contacted American General 2 to 3 weeks later to begin the claim process. At that time I was told that they were going to mail me a claim form. I waited a week for the claim form which I never received. Then I contacted them to find out why I didnt receive a claim form as promised. At this time I was told that I wasnt the beneficiary. I spoke with multiple representatives. And two customer solution representative which they both stated that they would provide me written information concerning my question within 10 days. I have yet to receive that information. Also, I emailed them at *********************************** and once again I didn't receive a reply. I requested the following information:- When was the beginning and end date of me being the beneficiary - What date was the change made - Why was I initially told that I was the beneficiary after my dad deathBusiness response

I purchased a extended warranty plan thru whirlpool and their affiliate for service is thru **** I was transfered to *** via phone by Whirlpool. The lady whom answered was ******** and I was explaining to her the issue I was having with my clock function not working on my stove. She was rude an argumentative with me explaining my issue and just put me on hold without saying whom she was directing me too. That was very rude. I've had plenty of issues with this stove and trying to use the warranty. They take my money then tell me what is not covered and whats covered. I'll never use Whirlpool or *** again.Initial Complaint

************************ has approved my mother's life insurance claim but is refusing to pay. Was told by one of the "customer service agents" it was approved on 2/20 and to wait 1-3 business days for eft. Called back the next week as it had not been paid and was told that it's 7-10 business days and to see if it's there Friday. Called back the next week and was told they just needed a few more days and to check my account on Friday. Of course it didn't show up. Called back on 3/6 and they tell me a letter had been sent on 2/29 approving the eft. We never received any letter from them. Called back on 3/8 after funds were not in my account and gave them a fax number to send the supposedly mailed letter. Was told that the funds were sent as well and I need to check with my bank. *** was received that evening stating the eft was "in" process. Not has been processed. Niether my sister or I has received the funds from our mothers policy. They are lying and trying to say we gave them wrong bank account and routing numbers. We both sent voided checks. I am done calling the foreign customer service agents as they just constantly lie.Business response
