Following 6 phone calls and relevant forms completed and returned, my husband and I are still no further forward in receiving the surrender proceeds of our joint life assurance policy. I now have to submit proof of Identification despite them having received the monthly premiums from my own bank account since 1993 !! and answering the relevant " for security purposes" questions !!!! . The customer service staff are undeniably unhelpful condescending and hostile. They try to hide behind Data Protection law and Money Laundering Regulations all of which I am sure the Regulatory Ombudmans would love to hear about. As a professional who provides client legal advice I can honestly say that I have never in my life came across such a company. They should be held accountable for the incompetent way in which they handle and process customer/policy holders queries and complaints . Please do not go near this company
