I opened a checkings account with regions bank in memphis tennessee and in the mail i recieved a 1000.00 life and accident insurance policy from the regions bank on me at no cost to me from hartford life and accident insurance company. upon signing the contract for the #1000.00 insurnxe policy that i accepted several months later i recieved a letter from hartford insurance company askig me if i wanted to increase my insurnce amount to 50.000.00 for some accidental and dismemberment insurance

i did not turn the policy in but several months later regions bank gave the hartford insurance company the okay to go in my checking account and retrieve a payment of 24.75 without my knowledge or consent for a insurance policy i did not know exist until i found out who had went in my checkings account and got the money. now why would i sign up for some accident and dismemberment insurance when i am a homebound double above the knee amputee.

now in the case of my demise by natural causes my beneficiary want recieve a penny but im paying all this money on a worthless policy. if you ask me regions bank and this insurance company are doing some type of fraud against the peoples who have savings and checkings accounts with there firm. could you look into this matter and tell me what you think. i want my money back

My husband accidently shot himself last September, Ii was ruled a suicide because it was a contact wound. I had group life through my work, now there is some problem as to when I insured my husband, a measley 25,000.00 Suicide clause is for 24months. I started my insurance and all benefits 07/10/2006. I tried to changed my benefits in 11/06 which was open month. I tried to increase his life insurance and change from a PPO to and HMO. Nothing went through, except they say that is when I started hias life insurance, This has been going on now for six months.

I am broke have no job, because ofhis death and my attemmpted suicide. I am stressed have anxiety attacks, and am a mental wreck. This was a group life through my work. Somebody messed up and I am paying. Hartford conneticut claims has not given me any info except to argue I only had his life insurance for 22mths not 24mths

I filed a claim with hartford accidental death insurance regarding my mother when she fell in our home which eventually resulting in her death I have requested a copy of that policy over and over they made a payment of 10,000.00 to me that does not even put a dent in what I paid out. I appreciate that payment but i want to know what the policy states.Because I had to pay for cremation, services, plus medications and caregiving besides myself,etc.

Recently we had a devastating death in our family. When the union sent in the death certificate and other necessary paperwork for the claim, Hartford decided send only half of the policy proceeds along with a demand for the police report and autopsy report. I fully understand that half of the policy was accidental death coverage; however the death certificate that is completed by the doctor, in our case the coroner, states that the death was accidental, the cause of death, with no contributing alcohol or tobacco related causes.

The death certificate stated it all, instead Hartford required our family to provide more documentation, it cost us time and money to get this documentation, Hartford wanted us to beg while they poured salt in our wound. Hartford solicited the union for their business. So now every time they submit a claim for a grieving family, they are going to scrutinize every document they send and then force the family to provide more.

Money will never bring back our loved one nor will it replace the hugs that his child will never receive from his daddy in this life. The life insurance funds are something that our loved one was able to leave to his child to provide for his needs and necessities.

Hartford's cruel practice of pouring salt into a broken heart is sickening to say the least.
