I was unaware that some insurance companies pro-rate their life insurance pay outs based on the length of the life that is covered. Seems horrific doesn't it? Principle Financial felt that Isabelle Christine Duffy did not live long enough to warrant a full payout of her dependent life insurance policy. So they pro-rated the amount and mailed us a check with a letter that said the check was for the deceased infant covered on our policy.
I don't even know what to say.
Apparently there weren't any humans on duty in the office that day.
Duffy told them that from now on we would be pro-rating our premium payments based on our level of satisfaction with their service.
This is one of those things that I can't even begin to tackle. I can't think about it. I don't want to do anything about it. I didn't want that damn money to begin with. But I would like to get in my car and drive to their office and twist the testicles of the asshole who made the decision until they come off. I still don't think that would enlighten him to the world of pain that we have been living in. Any ideas?

I would SERIOUSLY question the stupidity level of that person.....but I also would question the legality of that?? I don't think that is in the least bit legal and I think they get away with it because the people they are screwing are in a state of grief and don't pursue it. I think YOU should be the one to rock their world and knock some sense into them!!! ....and I will pay good money to sit back and listen to that conversation!!! You go girl!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...this just blows my mind...I would like to join you on your trip to the office to either assist or witness the group of monkeys staffing that office! Heartless pricks or bitches, whichever works! Hugs to you, hang in there.

how can you put a value on a human life? I dont understand that so wrong so very wrong and I totally agree with duffy!!!
ReplyDeleteOmg, are you serious?! That is utterly and completely out of line! Would they do that to one of their own? I think not. Somebody seriously needs to put them in their place. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, Kiki.
ReplyDeleteJust because she only lived a short time does not make her any less of a person. I say we round up a posse and storm the office. Were her medical bills or funeral expenses prorated?? I'm sure they were not. I'm angry.
ReplyDeleteHow horrible. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
