Have a policy with IA financial group I get the forms to fill out 8 bloody pages. Need the surgeon to fill out parts he's not in my city also employer and physician. I am so sick of insurance companies make you jump through so many hoops just to get a claim. I know now for next time I purchase a vehicle never get the extra insurance and for 1 lousy payment, I'll be back to work before I even get a cheque or the one and only cheque that I would have got. I also tried calling them they had me on hold for 30 min then it said they're having technical difficulties and hung up! Awesome! Stay away from insurance companies like this one. They take your money and try their best not to pay out any claims.
IA has the cheapest life insurance and very responsive to claims and customer service. Definitely recommending it to Canadian families.
I submitted a claim last Aug 2020, they asked for additional documents which i submitted and were also submitted by our health care provided. They received all of the needed documents by November of 2020. I call them regularly for updates and all they say that it's still in review. How can they claim that they're a big company if they can't process claims quickly? They don't even direct your call to the correct department. They kept transferring and when you get a hold of someone they just apologize. I was promised that an analyst would call me but no one did. They have no problem collecting payments from my family but they certainly are giving us a hard time when it comes to claims. I hope the media exposes what kind of business they are conducting.
Worst insurance company ever. Won't pick up the phone, will not reply to your emails. Delays in processing requests. I still cannot figure out why my employer (One of the health networks in Ontario) decided to go with this company. Health sector employees should be treated better than this.
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!
Thinking of getting a life insurance quote from an insurance agent? They work for one insurance company and can only sell the products of that company. That may not result in the best rate for you. Our insurance brokers compare life insurance quotes across 20+ Canadian insurers for you.
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.
Thank God for this review board. I recently purchased a new vehicle at Coastal Ford Burnaby and was upsold on life/disability insurance through IA Insurance. After going home and reading the fine print of the AI contract, I was very troubled, I decided to dig further and came across their customer reviews. I was downright disgusted! I had to return to the dealership. Three times to finally get this crap canceled as I only had a 20-day window to do so. The cost of this insurance would have been $10,500, for what? To get the run-around and every claim denied as I've read through other people experiences... AI you are truly horrible, disgusting people to treat your hard-working clients this way...
They opened a policy against my will. The worst company and service. One day I called Industrial Alliance for a submission, needed information to compare prices. Then, they sent by mail a contract without my interest. I did not sign the contract, they still charged me 60$ and sent my file to the recovery agency. Now I have a bad history.
My claim was actually pretty fast ans done smoothly, I did not have any issues or problems.
