Industrial Alliance Life Insurance Reviews

I had a life insurance plan with IA. At the plan inception, I was a smoker, so I needed a nurse visit. A nurse came and weighed me, took my blood pressure and left. A year after not smoking, I needed a review of my policy to now is a non-smoker. I honestly answered the questionnaire my mortgage broker gave me, as I did with him a year before - being VERY CLEAR about my cannabis consumption. Weeks later IA cancels my policy - it turns out, the original nurse lied on his report, stating that I had NEVER consumed alcohol, Cannabis, etc... and IA was blaming the LIE on ME! No return of any interest earned on the money they took from me, and I lose a year of catching up on a new policy with a different company. I would never use IA again!

This company is a fraud. After a year of playing around with our death claim and not responding they deny the claim with no valid reason. Of course, we are suing. Don't trust this fraud!

Not sure how these companies can legally operate. When reading through the fine print of these vehicle life insurance policies. They basically consider falling off a bicycle as a child as a preexisting condition and will deny your claim in the unfortunate event someone should pass away, which in my case, someone did. After fighting with them for several months trying to get the claim covered, it was denied, twice, when reviewed by 2 of the doctors who dealt with my fathers case, the company then go through his medical file with a fine-tooth comb and highlight "feeling tired" as being related to his cause of death and ultimately a pre-existing condition. Imagine a grieving wife having to deal with these companies all in the name of trying to claim a policy he was signed up for when purchasing a vehicle. I truly hope the employees who sign these rejection letters lose sleep every night and eventually step down to a career they can be proud of. So if you're thinking of getting life insurance through IA financial, I urge you to make sure you have never fallen down and scraped your knee! Shame on you all.

I did not have time to subscribe that I was already having a bad experience! I had a conversation with an agent to take info about all the insurances. I ask him to send me all the documents by email so I can read them and take a decision. 2 days later, with no info in my email, the agent told me in my voicemail that I had 2 choices: take an appointment to sign or sign electronically. Euhhhh hein? No thanks!

My husband took out a Life Insurance 24 years ago, never missed a payment in 24 years. Just got a letter saying 'Unfortunately your current premium level is not sufficient to keep your policy in force. We paid $38.33 for 24 years and now in order for me to keep my policy they want $82.37 a month, more than double. We are just getting a senior pension and cannot afford this so we loose it all. Thank IA for nothing.
