    I had been meaning to obtain life insurance for my wife and I for quite some time. Did some research and for our particular needs/situation AIG was suitable. They even sent someone to our home to conduct the medical portion; which was a few questions and a blood draw. See no real reason to change.

    I had the life insurance after my late husband passed away. The cost was very little but about a year ago, I found out the amount had decreased to $500.00. I wasn't aware that the amount would be decreasing as I aged.

    I filed a claim on April 10th and have waited nearly three months for a response. While I realize that a global pandemic slows business I feel this timeframe is completely unacceptable and purposely delayed. Today I finally received an email back explaining that my claim was denied as it did not fall under their listed reasons. I was directed to view an attachment that was not there and when I emailed the adjuster back I received an outdated out of office reply stating the adjuster wouldn't be back in the office until July 6th (yesterday). I would like to see an explanation on how a global pandemic is not one of the listed reasons for filing a claim. It seems like AIG is just like any other insurance company and not interested in paying out when it's time for them to. I will be posting this message on numerous social media sites and filing a claim with the BBB and Consumer Affairs.

    Stay far away. Over the years that I've had these policies (one for me, one for my husband), I have an extraordinary amount of trouble with them. They lose payments, misfile payments, and make it extremely hard to pay or access information online. They're constantly cancelling policies due to their mistakes, and it can take months of pointless phone calls to straighten out (when they make a mistake, the burden of proof is on the consumer).

    If you call to find out when the next payment is due (easy to lose track of a quarterly payment), the recording skips the next date and gives you one far in the future, causing a missed payment (actually, I've experienced many, many ways they try to trip up the consumer. The end result would be the consumer losing coverage and having to buy a new policy at a MUCH higher rate…. They can make millions doing this. The latest? Although it's been mandated by law that insurance companies must give consumers a 90 day grace period, they just canceled my policy (again!) in spite of my being within that limit. My next note will be to the attorney general of my state.

    My father recently passed away at 101 years old and to the last hour of his life his mind was sharp. A few weeks before his death he asked the family to change a small life insurance policy from my sister’s name and use it for my mother’s care, who is on home hospice, so we hired a Notary Public to come to the house to witness Dad signing the changes. We called today and they said, essentially, too bad his signature doesn’t match the one from 30 years ago.

    Also, last year when he was trying to change the policy, we found out that Dad’s Social Security number didn’t match the one on the form by one number so he called, with the help of family, to inform them of the error. They told us he needed to submit his SS card, which we did and received a confirmation number, and today they said they never received it. They were rude and kept telling us the conversation was being recorded which we were more than fine with, though I guess it isn’t used to improve the quality of customer service. Now my sister, who has mental health issues, may receive the small payout which she is incapable of using for her own care so we are, not only heartbroken, but extremely upset and wondering how to care for Mom and my sister.

    I got injured on the job at the end of September. I submitted a claim through my accident policy of which I’m still trying to get processed. Customer Service is RUDE & speak to you in a VERY unprofessional condescending tone. They give out ** information & speak to you as though you’re nothing. The insurance adjusters DO NOT return phone calls as their voicemail says they will. I injured my wrist & had to have surgery due to an accident. I was sent a letter a few weeks ago saying my claim will not be processed because my paperwork doesn’t indicate my injury was a fracture. The policy is misleading & I keep getting the run around. Clearly there was an accident related injury because I’ve been off for over 3 months. I wouldn’t recommend anyone purchasing a policy from AIG because they don’t care about the consumer.

    RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL (Dec 13th 2019) asking for a copy of my sister-in-law death certificate. They found me and I had no idea about this policy. I called on the dec 14th and was told they couldn't give me any information on the policy until I sent the death certificate. I finally sent the death certificate and called again on Jan 3rd only to be told they still couldn't give me any information and that they would send out a death claim form. Today I called and was told they still couldn't tell me if I'm the beneficiary or not and if I didn't get the claim form then that means I'm not the beneficiary.

    Now keep in mind, I didn't even know anything about this policy and was told that they had to find the next of kin because they couldn't get in contact with the beneficiary. (Which doesn't make sense.) Any calls I make to customer service I receive different answer. One person tell me one thing and another person tells me something else. So now my understanding from today's call was I'm not the beneficiary and the answers I received doesn't make any sense at all. This is a ongoing battle that I nobody should go through with a loved one. CUSTOMER SERVICE NEED TO BE RETRAINED ON THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WHEN DEALING WITH PEOPLE ON THE PHONES.

    My husband and I had purchased an Old Line Life Term Insurance Policy 20 years ago. Unfortunately, AIG bought them out. The policy was ending in December of 2019, so we called on November 12 of 2019 to let them know we did not want to renew the insurance policy. The person we spoke with stated he terminated the policy and stopped the automatic monthly payment. He also told us to ignore any correspondence from AIG.

    In early December, AIG withdrew $872.54 from our account, a sum that was 8 times what we had been paying. When I called to ask what happened, the woman at AIG was horribly rude and told me she did not know what I was talking about because the policy had been terminated. We stopped payment on the withdrawal and filed a complaint with the California Insurance Commission.

    We just got two letters today, January 17, 2020, one to me and one to my husband. The one to my husband was cordial but stated they had never received any notice of cancellation from us. The one to me was completely rude, telling me I could not cancel the policy because my husband was primary (My husband talked to the person in November to cancel the policy.), they had never received any notice from us and was just generally nasty in tone. His letter had a person's name, phone number, and email address attached; mine was signed by Customer Service.

    It was very apparent mine was hostile and condescending in tone. I guess AIG hates women and feels it has a right to try to demean the mere "wife". We will be contacting AIG and the California Insurance Commission to follow up. We never bought this policy from AIG and now we would never have anything to do with them. The proverbial right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, and they feel it is just fine to be hostile and demeaning to women.

    I have been paying on a life policy for my husband since January, 1989 and now get a letter telling me I haven't been paying the right amount of premium. I pay this quarterly and the billing shows a certain amount which is exactly what I pay. When I called them they told me it was "up to me" to send the correct amount -- what -- I pay the amount on the billing. Too bad they say his policy will lapse so too bad unless I send them $1600. My husband will be 80 and we are on fixed income so where will I get this kind of money. Supervisors are as stupid as their customer service team. Have been taught to rely on life companies to be there when you need them but this one is truly simply pitiful and crooked. Guess I can just kiss my $30,000 plus away because they have made all the money off me that I'm willing to give. Someone needs to put a stop to this kind of business practice.

It's bad enough to have to deal with the DEATH OF A FAMILY member, then have AIG stonewall my POD (Pay on Death) claim by telling me they received it but lost it, or never received it, need another document that they never said anything about until later. The latest stonewall tactic was AIG telling me the documents I sent are not visible on their system. - I sent hard copy notarized originals! What are they talking about!!

    I went through an insurance agent who connected me to AIG for life insurance on the house. When I realized we couldn't meet the monthly payment anymore, they told me my agent had to cancel it and that I, the policy holder, could do nothing. I originally wanted to switch it to a cheaper monthly plan but they said I would have to wait a whole year before doing that. What kind of business goes by rules like these?? Since they didn't want to take my money at all, I decided to cancel permanently and go elsewhere. I thought they would at least refund me the first monthly payment since I was only with them for one month, but they wouldn't even do that. I'm VERY disappointed in AIG and the fact they basically stole my money. I will not be recommending their services to anyone.

    I've been on the phone with AIG multiple times a week over the last three months trying to resolve a very simple issue. It takes 10 minutes or more to get a customer service representative on the line. That representative spends most of their time telling you how their computer takes 24-48 hours to update, how they can't talk to other departments that make decisions or have needed information, etc. It takes an act of congress to find your way to a supervisor. The supervisors, if you can reach them, give you the same sad story of how they can't do anything and have to rely on computers.

    The decision makers in other departments can only be reached internally by email. The supervisors and customer service agents can't speak to these other department. And, customers, certainly can't speak to them or email them. The above is indicative of my experience with AIG (and the company they acquired, Valic) for the last two decades. AIG is indifferent, apathetic and helpless and unhelpful. On a more positive note, The University of Alabama is now changing their Retirement Service provider away from AIG to another company.

Bottom line is the whole AIG is a fake and trash cheating company who deceives with their policies by not clearly mentioning what is covered and what is not at the time of purchase.

    Consumers needs to know what exactly is covered but they make you go to the long and confusing pdf documents where consumers has to click and view, most of the time consumers will not have enough time to go through while booking a ticket and insurance companies such as AIG take advantage out of it.

    Started a new $250K life insurance policy with AIG, application, medical review and implementing banking info for auto-pay was all easy. It went downhill from there. I never received an email advising the start dates for auto-pay or a link to access the site for eService. A month had gone by before I realized I hadn't heard from them. I started searching their site, stumbled upon the eservice and began making payments myself. Several months later I received an email stating my policy was about to lapse. WHAT?! Yep, the payments somehow hadn't been applied. I checked my bank statement, they'd all cleared my checking. So I called and yes the customer service sounds as it's been outsourced from US - after getting nowhere with the initial rep, I asked for a supervisor who sounds like she's locally based in TN where cust service calls are routed to.

    I explain the situation and she seems concerned - promises to review the bank statements proving payments were made/cleared and call back. NO call. I call again and basically have to get angry - I don't understand how a company this large can have a payment process that allows payments to fall into limbo and not be applied. Reading the other reviews, not sure it's just an oversight. Feels intentional. Finally get it resolved, policy is reinstated, previous payments have been applied. Several months later - it happens again. I call, start this ** all over again. And during the three days of calls, AIG deducts 4 payments from my checking account that I DID NOT authorize. Customer service has no idea how this could've happened. I've demanded a refund. If it doesn't happen by tomorrow - next step is the BBB. They're too large of a company to be this inept.

I've been going back and forth through emails and calls. The last person I talk to is on vacation. That must be really nice.

So once again I called, they out of the blue found the paperwork and my check was in the system waiting to be printed. Which is the same thing I have been told time and time again. So then I asked for a supervisor to find out why I am getting the runaround. Why can’t I get my money owed to me from this company? What is the problem?

    Finally after I had to get angry, raise my voice and almost to the point of screaming did I get a hold of the customer service line supervisor in Nashville named Beverly. She promised me that she was personally going to get a hold of the senior analyst to find out what the problem was. Beverly would not give me her last name nor would she give me a phone number or even an extension to follow up with her. She was going to without fail going to call me back and inform me as to what and where my check was and when to expect it. Beverly said that if I did not hear back from her to call customer service back and ask to be transferred to her. Well, I tried that! That most certainly was a joke. When I called back I got a hold of Latasha a member of the customer service escalation team. She said she would look into it and call back that same day no matter what. Never heard from her either!

    Called back the same afternoon and went around with them until I was connected to Stefan a supervisor of the escalation team and he told me that Latasha had entered my problem into the computer. That someone was looking into the problem. That there was nothing else he or anyone else could do. Now I’m to the point that I’m tired of messing with this company. I’ve been patient even after 3 months have passed which I feel is ample time for this to have been settled. I have filled out all the necessary paperwork even sent it overnight, I have called somewhere around 20 times.

    I finally told Stefan if I did not have this check by this Wednesday April 17 I would be contacting an attorney. I don’t want to do that. I don’t like operating that way but this company has left me no other choice. I have been lied to over and over. I just want the money owed to me. After this long talk with him about 10 minutes had passed when I received a phone call back from Jessica who is a member of the priority support group (which is the 1st in 3 months) informing me they would email me next Wednesday with information on the problem but no promises of an answer only information. So I explained to Jessica once more if I do not have a check in my hands by Wednesday April 17, 2019 whether it be by overnight or what that I will be contacting an attorney, plus the Better Business Bureau and whatever other means I have at my disposal. Thank you, Doug **.

    Updated on 03/04/2019: After writing my initial review here I decided to file a complaint with the BBB. Within five days of the BBB notifying me that they had contacted AIG, I received notice from AIG that a refund had been made to my credit card. Then today I actually received an apology letter for their "inadvertent" (yeah right) delay in processing my refund and being sorry that I had to contact the BBB. Maybe a complaint to the BBB might help others here.

    Original Review: I took out a policy because it was required with the health insurance I was buying. I cancelled both within the five day grace period. This was three months ago. I was told the refund would come in a check. When that didn't arrive in four weeks, I called and was told it would go back to my credit card within ten days. That was six weeks ago. When I called again, I was told they would "expedite" the refund and it would be done in 1-2 days, That was a week ago. The number I was given for the agent to handle the cancellation at the start was not the right number, when they gave me another number for the agent, it went to voicemail with no mailbox set up. I have decided I will never get the refund and hope I never have to deal with this company again.

    I am a 27 year old, hard working person with a full time government job and two parents that tragically passed due to 8- and 13- year battles with cancer. My firefighter husband has worked hard at the CA wildfires which has supplemented our income so that we could afford my parents' residual bills, but his extra income can only go so far. The frustration and mistreatment that we have experienced from AIG is so very sad, and I would never in my life recommend using them for life insurance if you, like my parents, have the intention of financially taking care of your kids upon your passing.

    Today is December 3, 2018. I submitted claim paperwork for my father's life insurance policy on October 14, 2018. To ensure efficiency and accuracy, since the death of my parents placed mortgages into my responsibility that I cannot afford, I filled out the claim paperwork with an AIG representative on the phone. They went through the claim paperwork line-by-line with me. "Great customer service," I thought.

    It took AIG until October 30th to notify me that the claim paperwork had been filled out incorrectly, even though I completed it with the help of staff. I was able to send in the missing information via email at my urgent request, again, due to looming inherited bills that I simply could not afford. They obliged and on October 30th, I submitted the paperwork to **.

    I continued to receive "incomplete claim" letters from AIG, so on November 19 or 20, I called to confirm that the missing information had been received by AIG. Until I provided the date on which the email with the missing information was sent, all AIG staff claimed that it had not been received. Finally a claim examiner confirmed its receipt, and ensured I would receive my check by November 28 - in time for the next round of mortgages.

    Since not receiving the check on the 28th, I have spent over three hours on the phone with AIG - most times starting the conversation completely from the beginning because my account notes seem to never get updated by AIG staff. I have been promised return phone calls from claim examiner Caroline **, and an overnighted check from claim examiner Treasure, neither of which delivered on their promises. Staff repeatedly claims that "they cannot transfer me to a supervisor," or "I am the supervisor," or that they cannot give me written proof of our conversations.

    My parents did not pay for their life insurance policies so that my sister and I could experience this totally avoidable debt after their passing. My parents did not trust AIG with their policies so that my sister and I could struggle financially for months after their passing. Yet this is the reality we are facing, and AIG has simply given us the runaround.

After seeing the policy says it covers “traveling companions” who are called to military service I tried to file a claim. After filing the claim and patiently waiting a week to hear back from somebody, nobody called or emailed me. So I call to check on my claim. They said they never got the documents.

    Back to square one with the claim. I sent all the documents in again. Unfortunately it took over 3 weeks for them to process my paperwork and to tell me that some of the files were corrupted and to send the documents again. Back to square one, AGAIN. So after sending documents for the third time, and about a month later, they finally email me to deny my claim.

    My husband and I have canceled everything with AIG due to the headache it has caused us just to get signed up for life insurance. My husband and I were wanting a life insurance plan of $500,000 for both of us. From the beginning we completed everything immediately. I even completed the medical exam part the exact same week upon request and my husband the week after I believe. After that he sent 3 emails to our agent Ryan **, in which we never heard back from nor ever received anything from the company. After a few weeks we got letters in the mail stating that because we have not completed our forms, our insurance request has been cancelled. I was in shock! We never received a thing in the mail, email, or via our agent.

    My husband had another party through his employer to try and contact our agent Ryan at that time and his excuse was, "Everything has gone into my junk mail." So clearly he didn't try to follow up with anything and requested our insurance be canceled. After that, Ryan and my husband got together to complete the process and my husband was informed at that time his premium would be 3 times the amount quoted from the beginning. He wanted Ryan to double check on that before proceeding with his so after weeks of waiting yet again, my husband all of a sudden noticed my premium taken out of his account (which was fine as I was all set up now) but AIG also took out 2 previous months of premiums as well!!

    Why would 3 months be deducted when this was 100% Ryan's responsibility for not getting us signed up until the past month? Not to mention they increased my premium from the beginning to when it was taken out as I was "older now". My birthday is not until November and it is August right now but because I'm a bit older from when we started, they felt a need to increase. Like I stated from the beginning. AIG has been HORRIBLE to work with and nothing but trouble. We tried going higher up to find out why it's been so difficult with Ryan but he stated that AIG only speaks with their agent directly and not the customer.

    We handled a service for a family on May 16, 2018 and had them sign an insurance assignment form as well as all claim forms required that we received from AIG. We faxed back all of the paperwork that was received back to AIG with proper signatures shortly thereafter. Having not heard or received anything from AIG, we followed up with a call the week of July 2 asking why the claim had not been processed and payment had not been sent out. We were informed that we needed to have a HIPAA form to be signed, which was never requested by the agent during our initial contact. After the HIPAA paper was signed by the wife and faxed back to the claims division, we waited again. Then we received a letter on July 20 requesting we send a copy of the insurance policy.

    We had a conversation with the agent today and was informed that either a copy of policy had to be sent in because you, the insurance company, had no information on the beneficiary, or we need to have the wife sign a letter stating that there was a lost policy. Again, this was not requested during the first discussion with the agent. We are in the process of getting the wife to sign a letter that the policy has been lost. What I cannot understand is why AIG does not know anything about this policy, but had no problem taking the payment out each month for the premium. I also cannot understand how come it has taken so long and we had to be the one to initiate the conversation why payment on the claim had not been paid out. If there was information that you needed, a phone call should have been made immediately to either our funeral home or to the wife to inform everyone that further information was needed.

    We are into the 3rd month and the claim has not yet been processed. This is not fair to the wife, leaving her hanging out like this. We feel that this is very poor service for the family and does not reflect positively on your company. We really would like to see this issue expedited. We have been willing to hold out for the family and I know that the insurance company would not want to be responsible for any late charges that the family is too likely to incur because of AIG's agent's incompetence in handling this claim.

Yet each letter we have received have the same claim number. Shame on AIG! I am reporting this company.

    AIG can not accommodate my date of birth 02/29 (leap year) in their System. I find it ridiculous and suspicious that a company of that caliber does not have that capability. Every institution that I have dealt with do not have this easy to fix issue. Upon my complain and stating it’s unacceptable, they have now taken my date of birth completely out of my policy... at least I don’t see it when I log in to check my policy. I have paid into this policy for over 11 yrs and I am afraid if a claim is to be made somewhere along the line there will be an issue. It's unacceptable and I feel betrayed. I was not made aware of this when I sign up for this policy 11 yrs ago.

    I demand their system updated to fix this fundamental issue or will have to take legal action. Not that I want to die but if I do my dependent should not suffer in making a claim. Their customer service is not able to give me reasonable answer. I need someone call me ASAP to tell me why their system is obsolete for that matter. I am an IT personal and it does not make sense to me to have a system of that deficiency. How did AIG manage during Y2K era?

    AIG provides insurance for airline flights, supposedly to assist if you require a flight change, among other coverage. My sister had to change her flight due to a personal matter involving my 90 year old mother. They have been completely uncooperative. AIG needed "proof" mom was ill. We sent her proof that she required constant care and has dementia. As one might guess, she has a host of other medical issues as well. If ever there were a claim AIG needs to cover it is this one, but unfortunately they are more interested in making us jump through 1000 hoops and will not provide any assurance that after we have completed all this work, that we will be refunded. Why by airline insurance, the airline washes their hands of the whole and says call the insurance company. The insurance company says, "we see you always buy our insurance when you fly, but we don't believe we need to cover it"

    In order to get coverage you have to prove that someone is ill. The company is aware of my mom's dementia, diagnosed 10 years ago, and it really hasn't gotten better. Mostly because no one recovers from dementia. I am livid that in the midst of this family crisis we are having, our insurance, which we gladly paid for, is giving us the runaround, and seems disinterested in helping. The lack of compassion, the lack of cooperation, the lack of doing your JOB - you are an insurance company and you don't want to reimburse claims.

    This company has no intention of honoring the agreement it made with you. I have been paying my premium for years, only to be blindsided by it's denial of my claim when it came time to use the policy for an accident I incurred. I am so confident that I have a valid claim against my policy, that I will have to go through the trouble of filing a complaint with the Texas Department of Insurance and the Texas State Attorney General to determine if they can be of help.

    I had a heart attack this year February (2018). I put in a claim with AIG. They refused it on the grounds that my troponin (proteins released in blood for heart attacks/cardiac arrest) were not high enough. In other words my heart attack needed to be a big one. As a qualified nurse when a patient comes in as a medical emergency, the Dr will treat as he/she sees fit. It’s almost as if AIG are saying, either the patient should, tell the Dr to wait until troponin levels have risen enough before treatment or they need to advise Dr they could be voiding clients policies. I did not see in the policy where it said to advise the Dr of this clause. It may be seen as it being ethical as Doctors take an oath to do no harm, in which case the policy itself is not fit for purpose. Not a company to be recommended. Hazardous to health and finances.

My BIL contacted the company and they said yes it was enforce and would send me the paperwork. 1st they wanted a death certificate for my husband and a notarized statement they had sent for me to complete, BUT I couldn’t send it until 30 days after he passed, so I waited and sent it out on March 12th, then I contacted them when I received a request for proof of death AGAIN.

    They said that they had received the paperwork and that that letter and what I had sent in passed in the mail, but I needed to send a death certificate or the official obituary notice on my father in law before they could process the claim. So, I sent them that, then on 3/24/2018 I got another letter saying that I needed to complete a proof of death to be filled out by the funeral home director, coroner or attending physician, (so I guess a original copy of his death certificate wasn’t adequate even though it had the state seal on it, the attending physician's signature and cause of death) they now need that done again on THEIR form and now they need a HIPAA form filled out.

    This should have been contained in the first batch of paperwork that I received 2 months ago!!

Each year I would simply call AIG and request they pay my annual premium from my dividends. It took 5 minutes and I received email confirmation that my premium was paid. Two years ago when my annual premium was due, I called AIG and requested my premium be paid from my dividends. I was told I can no longer do that over the phone and was told they would mail me a form. The form never arrived and my 30 day grace period was approaching so I sent a check afraid they would cancel my policy before I could utilize my dividends to pay.

    My annual premium is again due for 2018 and I called AIG 1/29/18 to request they use dividends to pay my premium. The person answering the phone is from "Insurance Services Alliance One". Again told I cannot do this over the phone and they would mail me a form. No form received. I called again 2/5/18 (answered by Insurance Services Alliance One) and was told I would have it in my mail on 2/7/18. 2/7/18 came and no form.

I filed a claim with AIG and what a mess and horrible experience. I finally decided to lose the $400 airfare and the $30 I paid for the stupid insurance and move on. They wanted documentation from everyone except the brain surgeon. It was only a sprained ankle. Well no more AIG and no more Expedia. Since they endorse AIG they lost my business as well!!! 1 Star is as low as it goes or I would give them zero.

    We were on a trip that was completed in Cambodia in October 2017. Upon leaving Cambodia, the plane had a mechanical failure, which subsequently caused us to miss a flight and a planned hotel stay. We submitted the claim to AIG for missed connection which was covered by our Travel Insurance. Because we did not receive a letter from the Cambodian airline detailing the issues surrounding the mechanical failure, AIG refused the claim. Furthermore, AIG would not accept an email receipt from Delta Airlines concerning the additional flight that we had to pay for ourselves.

    It seems to me that our claim was well founded, appropriate and well documented. If an insurance company requires unreasonable documentation, then I don't think that they will ever have to pay. Thus, to me at least, AIG is a fraud, and I will definitely never buy their insurance again. After all, why buy insurance, when it won't pay a claim.

    After my dad passed away I notified AIG. They sent me a packet of 7-8 pages of paperwork which completely overwhelmed me. I sat for 3-4 days just staring at it then decided to call, a rep walked me through every page, several times saying "don't worry about that part" <= ?? My mom suffered anoxic brain damage so I am now the DPOA in fact as outlined in my parents' DPOAs. I provided all the forms, POA, notarized affidavit and a letter from my mom's MD to the fact she is unable to make any decisions. 16 days later I get a letter telling me the paperwork was completed correctly (girl on phone) & dated wrong?? I had to complete ALL the forms again, get 2 forms notarized and now they want another copy of both my mom & dad's DPOA. Sent them both.

    18 days later here comes another BS letter and now I'm getting angry. I had to get another affidavit notarized because I put my mom's DOB 01/01/01 instead of 01/01/1900. Not her DOB but you get my point...

    The representative sold me the insurance claiming that it was the same as Aflac. I paid my premiums and months later I was hospitalized for knee surgery and I later filed a claim. I was told by the claims department that their program is not like Aflac and that the salesman should not have presented it as such. I had text messages between me and the salesman, but that did not make a difference. My claim was still denied.

    If you get a solicitation call from AIG, hang up. They will tell you anything to make a sale and when the time comes to file a claim, you will be denied regardless of what you were told. It is my personal opinion after reading similar complaints, that this is a regular scam being run by the salesperson and the claims department, a company wide scam.

I explained to them that I could barely move let alone try and go to an ER and I was away from home. I further explained that if at home it wouldn't cost anything to see my physician but away it would be $75.00. And besides it's not like I hadn't been diagnosed and I sent all my paperwork from all the doctors that I've seen since 2014.

    Of course it wasn't good enough and even the idiot Supervisor that contacted me she was just as stupid as the Rep that I talked too. No matter what, this company doesn't want to pay. When I was waiting for the callback, I went online to see how they were rated and unfortunately it was 99% all bad. So buyer beware and just suck it up when you purchase an airline ticket because your claim will most likely be denied.

They had increased his premium and not notified us. When we bought the policy we told our agent we wanted whole life and he said that that was what this was.

    AIG - Worst EVER Business Experience - Run Far - Run Fast. 10 years into a 15 year term insurance policy I was offered a new replacement policy, lock in your rate now for the next 15 years. This is where the trouble began. After being approved and being assured that the new policy would replace my old policy, I discovered after 5 months that I was making double payments for both policies. Since they will only accept automatic payments from your bank account it quite easy for them to take what they want when they want.

    After weeks of calls, multiple customer service contacts, and finally 2 calls from the "domestic relations" office (thanks for nothing Andrea), both accounts were taken off of autopay, but no refund was allowed for the second policy as it was past 60 days-although they had not take taken payments out for that policy until after 60 days and then took 4 PAYMENTS for policy 2 and 1 PAYMENT for policy 1 the same month.

    Still trying to resolve the issues, I authorized an auto pay on the second policy for the August 2017, and the company processed the transaction for 6 months worth of payments out of my account. So much for groceries this month. As far as getting a response from AIG, I am unable to sign in to the website (again),

    Most days after a considerable time on hold you get someone who will "file a service request".

    Today (was worse than the even the bad usual) I spent 2 hours on hold only to finally get someone reading that they are having technical difficulties call later in the week and then hang up on me. I have now lost not only over $500 on the second policy, not to mention the 10 YEARS in premiums on the first policy which they have refused to re-instate, and I am scared to death to do any further business with this company. I have paid my bank to put a stop payment on all AIG transactions coming from my accounts, and do not know when and if anyone will ever respond to the issues of duplicate and overpayments taken directly from my accounts. I would love a return call on these issues from any of the Customer Service people I have spoken to in the past: to name a few names.

If they change the terms (15 times higher premium) how can they expect automatic renewal or no cancellation - should customers have a say on renewal and silence or denial on phone or misdirected letter should not mean they automatically withdraw!

    Null, keep your money, invest it in a personal bank account. A pity I didn't search to see early on that this insurance firm has so many dissatisfied customers; I believe all the one stars and am in disbelief at the high stars here based on what I've been going through for the past 2 months. A 0-star fits best. I have been paying for AIG accident and critical illness insurances for a long time -- WASTED MONEY (3000+). My reason for choosing this insurance is that I opt for alternative medicine, not traditional medicine -- as such, I seek homeopathy, home remedy, chiropractic help, diets, etc -- a big expense nonetheless! -- instead of X-rays, doctor visits, medication, etc etc, if it is possible to heal via alternative medicine. AIG promised a lump sum per accident seriousness: as decided by their assessors based on my medical report and independent of any additional insurance I receive.

    On Nov. 7, 2016 I actually had a small accident - a sprained ankle. I refused X-rays, medication and have healed with aqua therapy, home rest, sports therapy, unguents, diet (vitamins/minerals), etc. The doctor cost me $180, no more, it would have cost $1000+ if I had pursued the doctor's suggestion... AIG is saying now that they MIGHT compensate me the amount that is not being covered by my primary provider (like $70) because this is "supplemental insurance". THEIR POSITION AFTER THE FACT IS CONTRARY TO THEIR INITIAL PROMISE of taking into account the event's seriousness to compensate by a lump sum from $25000 and irrespective of my medical insurance or any other insurances. SUCH UNPROFESSIONAL LIES!

    Their customer service is fully unsatisfactory, too: automatic system rejects me because my date of birth is not matching and nobody has yet fixed that issue; the foreign staff is not trained nor efficient (their servility is simply useless...); time wait and time waste... I have cancelled both AIG insurances, belatedly, am only bitterly-glad that I learned about it via a minor accident not a big one.

    I had American General Life insurance (AIG) for 10 years. Had automatic withdraws set up. Like clockwork every month the payment was taken from my checking account. Then all of a sudden a withdraw of 6 times my normal payment was withdrawn! ($85 to $517). That hurts any normal person on a fixed income. I called and was told that a letter went out stating there would be an increase in my premium. I explained I did not receive any such letter and ask where it was addressed to. It was sent to my previous address of over 7 years ago which is a vacant house with no mail service. I stated that AIG should have received their mail back undeliverable. The person on the phone said she did not have that information and took my current address to update their records. I ask how do I get my money back and instructed her to cancel this policy. She said I would need to do that in writing and gave me AIG's fax number.

    I sent my requests by fax and I have called 2 more times, each time the person on the phone can't tell me what is going on just that they have received my fax (3 of them to be exact). The last phone call I was told that a management team would have to make a decision. When I ask, don't know the reply. I have since contacted Better Business Bureau and awaiting a reply.

    I became disabled through my as of 4/6/2016. AIG was the short/long term insurance carrier thru my job. I was having Open Heart Surgery 4/14/2016 so my initial claim for 12 weeks short term was approved and the checks came regularly thru 7/5/2016. After that the experience became horrible!! My doctor still had me off because I had to do 12 weeks of cardiac rehab and I was still very weak due to my weak heart and also due to my incision I was having problems moving my right arm and my right side.

    Even though I was already on std they said they had to do another review to determine my long term disability. They stopped my checks in July and I had 0.00 income coming in to pay my rent, lights, or my co-pays for the many prescriptions I was on. I am single with no kids. Both parents are deceased so I had very little help. I could not drive and was under TREMENDOUS STRESS while trying to get better. They took over 90 days to make a decision to DENY my ltd.

    My Doctor personally called to explain why I was still disabled and they acted like his word meant ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and he is a prominent heart surgeon with many years of experience. They based their decision on the results of my cardiac rehabilitation which showed them that I was tolerating the exercise which consisted of doing things at a very slow pace and also I could barely work the exercise machines so they kept me on the same ones. They did not push you to do more than you were physically able to do.

    This stupid company took the notes from rehab techs and not my cardiologist who is a medical doctor. I was receiving eviction notices, had no money for food and suffered severe depression and anxiety and these heartless animals at AIG did not give a damn! Thank GOD I got help from social services and the manager of my apartment complex had compassion about my situation. I told my doctors that I just was not feeling any better, even after the surgery. I felt weaker! I am still not back to work...

    I was readmitted to the hospital on Nov 5th for atrial fibrillation and they had to shock my heart back into normal sinus rhythm. On Nov 17th I was told by my cardiologist that my heart has gotten weaker since my surgery and I am now in danger of "Sudden Death Syndrome" and I need a defibrillator/pacemaker implanted and connected to my heart so if my heart slows down to a dangerous level it will shock my heart back to normal (hopefully).

    I also have been approved and deem disabled by the US Government Social Security Disability agency. But AIG told me I was ok to go back to work!! This company is INCOMPETENT, UNPROFESSIONAL, NON-COMPASSIONATE AND GREEDY! They are more concerned about keeping your money than paying you when you need it the most. If you have any type of policy with this company... I would suggest you cut your losses now and find another company because when you are in need... The vultures at AIG will not give a damn!!! I am telling everyone I know and using every means necessary to tell the world. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AIG!!! Sincerely Ms. Totally Dissatisfied.

I am going to double check with my bank to see if I was on auto payment or not, but I paid religiously for 11 years and they did not even have the courtesy to see if I was dead or alive. They gave me forms to fill out to get reinstated and after months, they denied me and told me to reapply. My rate was not low, so they just wanted to lose me for some reason. I am pissed and I hope I can sue them. This company should never have been bailed out with my tax money. They truly SUCK and my guess, most insurance companies cannot be trusted, just as the banks.

    My husband passed away this past March. Prior to his passing he had become disabled and had applied for the disability rider on his life insurance policy. He had submitted the required paperwork but they requested additional information. He continued to be unsuccessful in obtaining the benefit and became frustrated with the process and so had given up. Since his passing I have been trying to gain information on behalf of my children and reopen the case as had been stated in a letter to him. I also at the time of his death had been advised that the information needed could be resubmitted.

    I have called several times asking for assistance in what information is still needed and been told that the matter is being escalated and referred to senior management and that I should expect a callback. This has not happened and the last rep I called gave me conflicting information and would not let me speak to a manager. He was unsympathetic and completely unhelpful. This is who they let represent their company? I will be filing a complaint with DFS and canceling my own policy with this company as I am not confident that at the time of my passing my children can depend on a benefit to be paid to them. I'll take my chance elsewhere.

Today a customer service rep. (what I now know was from the Europe call center company) would take the time out to leave a message telling me that I was rude. I do not believe it was right for this person to return a call to a client for anything other than to speak about their account/policy. This person used personal information for their own needs.

    If I could find an insurance company with the same benefits that you supply or better yet when I do find another company I will be leaving your company. I do not know if this customer service rep. used your telephone line or their personal phone due to the number came into my phone as restricted. Should you find this person I hope that he/she is reprimanded accordingly.

    I am very disappointed and if a rude client gets the best of your CSR to prompt them to call back a customer to tell them they were rude, then they do not have the thick skin of a customer service rep and is in the wrong profession. For the record I was rude - it annoys me to speak to a person that do not understand me and blames it on a bad connection. If a person did not hear you they would not reply with an answer (wrong answer that is). I am disgusted at this customer service. I cant wait to leave your company.

    When I started work for a large county in Oklahoma as a database administrator, part of my compensation package was short-term disability through AIG. Also offered was a "buy-up option to long-term disability, or "LTD". I opted for this coverage, even though I never expected that I would ever need it. Two years into my employment, I suffered a devastating stroke that was nearly fatal and left me with major paralysis on my left side. Even though AIG promised benefits up to 2/3's of my yearly salary, because I now draw Social Security benefits, they deducted the amount of my SS benefits. I have never received more than around $700/month from them. Also, in order for my benefits to continue, they demand that I provide them with a voluminous document proving my disability on an annual basis.

    Owing to my paralysis, I am barely able to write, and then with only my right, non-dominant hand. Due to this, I was unable to provide them with the documentation they demanded by their deadline, and my benefits were suspended until I complied with their demand. After sending them their documentation, my benefits resumed, however, I only received one check before they suspended them again, this time because they are now demanding an "injury/illness status report" from my doctor, which they sent to the wrong recipient two times.

    Now, I have supplied them with the correct number to fax their demand to, and called back to insure that it was sent. The only people I can get on the line are call-center flunkies who know nothing and care less, and when I demand to speak with my "case manager" can only get voicemail. This company cares nothing about their responsibilities or the people they're supposed to be serving. It is obvious to me that their main goal is to get out of paying rightly owed benefits by any means at their disposal. If this issue is not resolved immediately I will have no option other than to contact an attorney. Please, do not do business with this company unless you enjoy foot-dragging, stalling, unreturned phone calls and headache after headache. These people are crooks.

    Never let AIG Insurance take auto bank withdrawals from your bank account. In June of 2013 we had decided to let my husband's 10-yr term policy lapse because rates were much lower and we could get a better rate by shopping a new policy. We didn't realized AIG had not cancelled our policy as requested and we had already purchased a new policy. They claimed our agent had apparently retired and was supposed to contact us personally when a policy is about to lapse or renew. AIG claims to have sent a letter stating this increase would occur though we NEVER received a letter.

    For 8 months they withdrew $557.96/mo for a policy that we originally paid about $50/mo. This was an egregious increase and because we signed an agreement allowing them to withdraw automatic payments from our account they claim they were justified in doing so. I had sent a letter and made numerous phone calls without any resolution. They switched compliance analyst on us and I tried to contact him for four months leaving messages every month with no returned calls. He claims he had been calling the wrong number and also had an address for us in another state that we had never heard of. All of this is convenient to AIG because it allows them to steal from their customers without any accountability for having inaccurate information. It's no wonder we never received a notice of the increase if they had our address completely wrong as well as our phone number.

So we canceled the policy. My husband was born in 1948. Talking to others age 60 or so we heard the same complaint.

    AIG Life Insurance is very helpful. There is a representative that comes to your home and helps you fill out all of the applications. This person goes through all of the paperwork with you and walks you through a payment plan that fits in any kind of budget. You can set it up to directly be taken out of your bank account and you can set up payments for once a week or monthly. Our payments are low and the insurance amount is very high compared for the amount you pay each month. Another great feature for this insurance is that you can pick to have college money for your children in case something happens to the breadwinner in the household.

    I thought I was too young for life insurance but I was wrong. I am so satisfied with my policy. I took out 25000 to make sure that once I am dead and gone that my kids and husband and any more of my family would have to worry about having to gather all the money for a funeral. My policy was so great that I got the whole family life insurance.

    I am very thankful to have life insurance. After age 55 it starts to get harder to get a good life insurance especially if you have a pre-existing condition. Now I pay mine up every 6 months instead of once a month this time to work out great for my family. Even though it's a small policy I do like this company. And their customer care is nice also.

    I feel this company is good. I got a good rate from a good price. I feel everybody has to make money. No love lost but I feel they should be cheaper. In the old days people used to save money for those type of things. Nowadays nobody can save money so the insurance companies win win win.

    I like the fact that this life insurance policy thru my employer is free for me and my beneficiaries. It covers you 100 percent in case of accidental death. You don't have to have a health screening, or worry about being denied, in order to be enrolled with this company. You have peace of mind with this policy knowing that your family will be taken care of and not given the runaround like most companies. I would recommend this company to others.

    I have State Farm insurance for me and the family members in my household. The life insurance that I have for my family I feel is very affordable. It was very easy to get started with the family life insurance. I had to answer medical questions for everyone, to include very detailed information to include surgeries etc. I also had to include everyone's personal information to provide to the insurance company in order to obtain life insurance. The paperwork that I had to fill out for life insurance was pretty lengthy and did take some time to complete. The premiums for myself and my wife were very affordable. Also the life insurance that I have for my children was really cheap. I was very surprised with the cost. It was very cheap.

    Not the best outcome with the insurance representatives. My coverage is great but, dealt with a couple different agents as I tried to insure my whole family. First one put in the wrong information which was not caught till a month later when I finally received my first policy, so they fixed it and I received it back. Now there with three of us somehow no longer on the policy which I was paying for the whole time which I later got a refund for after two months but not before I had to write a letter and send in proof of who I was due to they put the wrong last name in for me, and other incorrect info as well which caused other issues... by the end they would not cover my autistic son or daughter with Pots (Post Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome) so I insured them through another company.

    After being removed from my own policy several times due to the agent's screw ups I ended up with a new agent that had to put me on my own policy, my middle two children on a policy, and my youngest and oldest are through a different company. Although it seems to be straightened out I'm waiting for the shoe to drop and I'm not ok with that. I'm not sure if this is what everyone goes through due to it was my first time getting life insurance but it's been a nightmare for me!

    I suffer from PTSD as a result of death threats, a terror attack and subsequent work environment during my employment with World Vision in Pakistan. I received 2 years income support from AIG, treatment and did get rapidly better in first year but remain unable to work due to diminished memory and organisational skills as well as a tendency towards emotional upset, till now. At two years under the terms of the policy the income support ceased. I am not better but have no income now. So my treating psychologist suggested the work injury combined with the terms of the insurance and lack of income have created conditions that will activate my PTSD rather than allow further recovery. So I asked the insurance to assess me for MMI and final payment - to remove myself from the conditions preventing any further recovery.

    The prognosis for recovery is only incremental for four more years given supportive treatment and enough income to subsist. To get survival income I have had to migrate with my two children to Australia to claim welfare and become separated by distance from my husband who is not Australian and gets homesick when away from Pakistan for more than one month. In the supposed independent medical evaluation the psychologist flown into Australia especially suggests yes injured at work but decides I have depression not PTSD and fraudulently claims my treating psychologist and earlier IME evaluator said I was capable of work. This is not the case and I can access the files and Drs to dispute the evaluators biased report.

    Also earlier in the first IME AIG insisted only a psychiatrist could diagnose PTSD while they sent in a psychologist to suggest depression instead of PTSD - when clearly I have PTSD and Depression and the depression largely caused by the hopelessness of the insurance process. I was said to have exaggerated my symptoms when the test probably showed my high level of activation during a 8 hr+ adversarial evaluation process and following six months with no income support and 3 months separation from spouse for the purposes for surviving.

    The supposed independent evaluation attempted to blame personality for continued ill health and failed to evaluate the impact of structural abuse of an injured worker by the insurance processes. I have referred all of these issues to the employer and am awaiting any feedback from Insurance and employer on the IME bias and structural abuse inflicted on injured workers who are assumed fraudulent by Insurance for the purpose of avoiding payout despite insurance fraud by claimants being 1-2 % and mostly conducted by insurance agents themselves or employers.

    I am in Australia til January 2016 as I agreed with my partner for accessing welfare and will return to Pakistan then - with only hope of income renting out spare room in rented house on airBNB while I remain unfit for work. The irony of this all is I am now paying for psychological sessions for PTSD with my activation and comedown tremoring directly related to the vicious cycle the insurance conditions and behaviour put me in and worries about the well being and survival of me and my children while on limited or no income. This hopelessness is in spite of the employer and myself actually being involved in fighting for social and legal justice for others around the world.

    After my claim was denied for having the word "Stable" in it. I kid you not, my medical paperwork listed my symptoms as "stable". No worse, no better, but I'm still disabled. My claim manager told me the decision was squarely on THEIR nurse who reviewed the paperwork. After speaking to his boss's boss, I found out that it's his decision and his alone to approve or deny a claim and that the nurse was only offering advice. So I called him out on it and the reply was "NONE" no reply. The coward hides behind his desk and paperwork and I'm no longer allowed to speak to him. Which is fine by me. That "lying rat **". So his boss calls me and ask for medical info. I told her all medical questions must be submitted to my doctor and that she had all that information anyway. Please beware. They try to catch people lying after asking confusing and repetitive questions. Please NEVER NEVER DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE.

    After paying disability premiums for 25 years, I filed a disability claim for a deep vein thrombosis followed by a stroke. I am a medical professional who had been working at a high volume, high acuity hospital. Despite the statement from my personal physician, the insurer denied my claim on the ground that I would be capable of alternate employment. The contract I signed 25 years ago indicated that my disability insurance would be applicable if I were unable to perform the substantial duties of my profession. The contract gave no indication that I had to be totally incapacitated.

    They cancelled my life Insurance for non payment without notice. I have been paying for life insurance for 18 years on a 20 year policy. I never received a statement (BILL) from them as I have been getting every 3 months for 18 years. Never received an email as I have received in the past when I was late in making payment. No cancellation notice, nothing at all. They just cancelled my policy. These people knew they did not do these things. They did it on purpose. So it's my fault. They are liars and thieves.

    I had a stroke 3 years ago which caused my income to go from 75K to 20K per year on disability. My husband had to also quit his job. I sold my house because I could not afford it anymore and moved to Puerto Rico. I requested a check from my annuity account through AIG. However I changed my address before the check arrived and was in dire need of the money to pay for my importation costs, my life insurance policy and monthly medications. I called AIG to do a stop payment on the check on 9/4. I received the original check on 9/7 so called back to see if they can cancel the stop payment request. I was advised that the stop payment was already submitted at 8 am and there was no way of stopping the request so I needed to wait for the reissue and was told I should receive it by 9/11.

    I called them today 9/16 because I still didn't receive the check only to find out that the stop payment request was never processed. I already destroyed the other check per their direction so now I have to wait another week to get the check stopped and reissued. AIG does not care that I can't afford any food, medication or could potentially lose my life insurance policy due to their incompetency. The customer service is not good and their attitude is like "Oh well you have to wait. That is the process."

    AIG Direct through the agent who sold me the policy failed to process the paperwork despite providing a notice the policy was in effect. Purchased a life insurance policy in March and was not notified of the error and lapse in coverage until the end of June. Was told all the information was on file, but not processed. There was no explanation for why notification was not given sooner or why the paperwork was not processed. Simply gross negligence and incompetent.

    I have requested information regarding two life insurance policies that were owned by myself and my sister (**) I believe. I was told by family members that the policies were cash out on illegally years ago without our knowledge and or authorizations. There was money reported to the state of Texas and that's how I was able to get contact information AIG. I contacted compliance dept. In order to confirm if what I heard was indeed true. I filed a complaint with your so-called compliance dept. where I found certain reps to be rude, condescending, nasty, incompetent, and very unprofessional. Instead of giving me the proper information that I've requested, they've decided to ignore my concerns and are very evasive when questioned about information that I'm assuming I'm entitled to.

    Their evasiveness and outright refusal to investigate my concerns thoroughly only leads me to believe that maybe they were negligent concerning the handling of the policies in question. A complaint is being filed with the Dept. of Insurance to further investigate the allegations and the actions taken on behalf of AIG or should I say lack thereof? The rep they assigned to my complaint ** has done absolutely nothing! When I called to follow up, he's never there. Instead I'm forced to speak with ignorant, incompetent, entry level representatives who are more concerned with keeping up office drama than doing their jobs. When I've asked to speak with a supervisor, they've refused to give me information regarding their supervisors, or some manager of the day gets on the phone that seems to be either just as lazy or incompetent as the rep I was complaining about.

    Mrs. ** was absolutely no help in resolving the issue. It took her almost 30 minutes to " review " whatever it was she was reviewing only to come back to the phone and tell me something I already knew, nothing!!! She was more concerned with trying to impress her co-workers with her nasty and condescending attitude towards me. She actually found the situation to be amusing. When I asked for a copy of the policy or written documentation I was told that there wasn't any. Then she laughed and stated that the case was so old that I could file a complaint with whoever I'd like and nothing would be accomplished by doing so. She told me that what was reported to the state of Texas was what I was entitled to and nothing more. Apparently this was determined by not investigating my concerns of possible fraud.

    I was told that there was no information available to me and that it was up to me to prove that something was done inappropriately by again Mrs. **. Unfortunately I don't work for AIG so that's not my job. My job is to file a complaint, express my concerns, and hope that the matter would be investigated accordingly. AIG was negligent in the handling of the policies and I believe that what I've suspected is true because they are flat out lying about the policies' existence and they know that they are liable. Again if I am the owner of the policy in question I'd like to review copies of the policy, and any actions taken against the policy I'd like those actions to be thoroughly investigated and disclosed.

    Thank you so much Mrs. ** for laughing and encouraging me to put my concerns in writing, hopefully it'll be effective. I look forward to not hearing from AIG regarding my concerns of fraud, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress, as they have shown me up until this point that they have no intention of following the laws put into place to protect consumers in my situation. It benefits them to ignore my concerns rather than accept responsibility for their actions or lack thereof. Basically they paid out the wrong person illegally and this is a desperate attempt to cover it up. If what I have stated is not true then where's the policy? There has to be records of loans, checks, payments, etc.

    Please feel free to contact me should any be found. Your "compliance" with the law would be well appreciated. Failure to respond will leave me no other choice but to take civil action against your company as I have been so kindly advised by Mrs. ** to do so. She should be fired for representing your company in such an ignorant and unprofessional manner. She comes across as heartless and controversial, uneducated trash. I'm embarrassed to say she's African American. I had two simple request. Was I the owner of the policy and can I see it? Now I'm forced to file numerous complaints with several agencies and a possible lawsuit, GO **!!! I can be reached at ** should AIG'S COMPLIANCE DEPT. DECIDE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW.

    I lost my baby's father to a fire with the Tank Tech company.. And their insurance is through AIG! My daughter is suppose to receive a check every Thursday of every week, but that only happen right after he was killed.. As time went on AIG didn't care when I received the checks.. I called numerous times, for a direct deposit form & it took 7 months before I received one.. AIG would take so long to send my daughter checks out that I would receive 3-4 checks at a time.. I talked to so many reps & managers at AIG.. They all give me different information each time I call..

    It's just sad that AIG really don't care if you get paid or not because they are getting their money... I use to depend on AIG but it's a company that you cannot depend on.. They don't care about people families at all! At the end of the day AIG is all some families have for support, my baby's father was the financial provider but after he passed it was AIG.. I cry more now than when he passed away.. AIG needs to get it together!
