    Absolutely horrible. I sent 31 pages of information with doctor's notes and summary. They have still not paid me. They will find a way to not pay you.

    I'm writing this review to warn others of what happened to me. I'm the mother of 3 beautiful daughters that works very hard, I had a 50,00 whole life insurance policy with Allstate that I was cheated out of because of a lie that was told to me by one of their employees, this policy was all that I had in place to leave to my daughters and grandchildren, Allstate took my policy and gave me a 2,000 paid up premium. I was devastated!! I was given a runaround that throwed me into a state of depression, they blamed it on a company called Everlake and Everlake said it was Allstate. I finally got tired of listening to their lies and took a 1,000 dollar payment which was all that they said I could get. I figured if they lied about my 50,00 dollar policy if I died my family wouldn't have gotten anything, my agent tried hard to help me but it was out of his hands. This company have changed. I wouldn't recommend Allstate to anyone. You can't trust this company!!!!

      They make it impossible for you to collect on critical illness policy. They pretend not to have received the paperwork. When you call there are only 2 people that can assist you and both are always on the phone. You leave your number and never get a returned call. I would not recommend them.

      Well I don’t know exactly how to start this but I want everyone to know who has had ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE. Which both my ex husband and I had when we were married. When we got 2 separate life insurance policies each, we were never told from the agent or even a brochure what the policy consists of for the future. Let’s just say we got married 2007 Long Island New York and got separated and divorced in 2018 in Las Vegas. The lawyer saw we had 2 life insurance policies in the separation but both allstate nor the lawyer DID NOT TELL us THAT the ex spouse has to have it in the divorce papers if you plan to leave life insurance.

      I was best friend with my ex together 14 yrs. I spoke to him 3 months before he died from a mental breakdown in streets of Vegas in 2021 at age 50. He was very well known taught people how to buy and sell on Amazon and had 6 best seller books and 5 companies. They never told their clients which I was told after they were giving my money to the evil father in law who abused my husband for 10 yrs of his childhood life. 12 states that orders you to have it in divorce papers, however it's for families livelihood not how much child support. Has nothing to do with it. His scumbag family abandoned him For 18 yrs of his life and I have been fighting for over 4 yrs to get my MILLION DOLLARS HE LEFT ME AND MY PARENTS AS they were contingent beneficiary and I was the beneficiary.

      If you want to revoke the ex wife should go to my parents. He never had his parents on it as the paperwork can never be changed as mine and my parents name are on it. In 2023 probate they got my million dollars not even having their names on it as he didn’t want them to have it. That’s why my name and my parents were always on it til his last breath. If he knew and we both were told this would have never been. This lady allstate told me I have a week to show proof it was suppose to go to me and my parents and everyone gets revoked even if you have children and adoptions.

      I have tried everything and they're all corrupt and cons in Las Vegas and they don’t even tell the people that live there. They just took 6k from my ex husband and told me on the phone after I told the husband of the “right lawyers” and he said he couldn’t help me. He could have. As I even called him Telling him to take my name off the alimony as my husband was having a mental breakdown. He even charged him another 800.00 to take my name off.

      I’m not giving up and want to put this out there that if we can all get a class action suit against allstate for not notifying their clients by selling the life insurance policy to another company which is a low grade 1 as well as not even telling us the policies. There were never brochures about this and they should be accountable for all of this. My name is Natalie **. Long Island New York.

      This has been one of the worst customer experiences of my life. I had shoulder surgery on 09/25 of last year. I called All State 3 weeks prior to get everything I would need to file my claim, they sent over some forms. I had all parties fill out their sections and had them sent in a week after my surgery. It has been 4 months since I submitted my initial claim. They have every paper, every contact, even access to all of my medical records, and have yet to approve my claim. I have already returned to work. I essentially spent the last 3 months stressing out about finances while focusing on healing my 2nd surgery this year. I will call in, ask what the status is and be told an adjudicator is reviewing it. 2 weeks go by no one contacts me, I call back and all of a sudden 3 new medical records are requested or documents that need to be signed by my doctor or work.

      They literally added a new document in the middle of December… Don’t ask them why these weren’t sent at the beginning of the claim, they will have no answers for you. To make matters worse, because I chose to go with a voluntary disability plan through work, I am ineligible for the state insurance that I pay into every month. I have essentially been scammed by a billion-dollar company.

      I called to cancel my policy over a month ago. I called THREE different times and all 3 Times I was told they were canceling my policy. Till this day which it has been over 30 days from cancelation, my card has been charged for over $900, over $400, and over $40. At this point all state is a fraud and they are stealing money from canceled customers out of spite.

      I had a short term/long term insurance through my job, I had a life threatening surgery. Was in the hospital for 11 days in ICU and out of my job for 14 wks. To this day I haven’t received a cent in payments. I’ve uploaded every required documents from the hospital, from my job and all I get is run around. In time of sickness I expected this great company as they claim to protect me and they have failed me. Thank God I’ve had a hospitalization policy that paid or I would be homeless.

      I bought into this insurance from my job. Over $2,000.00 went into this company from my hard earned money. I have been dealing with this company regarding an illness. I submitted documentation from my doctors, yet it was denied numerous times. I called into customer care the "Mega Account", as they call themselves. I was told by a representative that I will get my refund of my remaining policy because I terminated it. Now I am being told no such representative wrote that down and I am being denied my refund for monies placed into account. Spoke to numerous people that state no such this was written down or stated!!

      My wife and I purchased whole life insurance through Allstate some years ago. Always current or even ahead of scheduled policy premium payments. They merged with Wilton in 2021. Unfortunately, my wife passed and I am attempting to make a claim, and have nothing but the runaround, to the point that they even claim they sent a claims package to an address in Nashville Tenn. Mind you. I have never lived in Nashville, and when I called to report the death, she confirmed my address to mail out the packet. When you call, you get bounced around from Allstate, to Wilton, to a company called Alliance. It has been the most horrifying experience, when of all times, it should not be. I will continue to fight them and have made a complaint to the NYS Insurance Board.

      About four years ago I signed up for Allstate life insurance, with Allstate agent John **. Last year, in September 2022, I contacted Allstate to change my policy to a non-smoker policy, because I quit smoking in August 2021. John ** was not with the company any longer, so I was directed to Allstate agent Suzanne **

      (Allstate | Personal Financial Representative in Roslyn, NY - Suzanne **). I explained to Suzanne the reason for my call, TO CHANGE MY POLICY to non-smoking policy. She did get me a new contract with Prudential. Yesterday, after taking a close look at my bank statements, I discovered that for the past five months I have been charged for both policies, Suzanne never canceled my old policy. I have been charged $125 / month by Allstate, in addition to the new policy charges from November 2022 - March 2023 - five (5) months, $750.

      When I found out, I called Suzanne and she took me off the direct payment option, so that the policy would lapse for non-payment. I asked how I can go about getting a $750 refund from Allstate. As an Allstate representative, she should have canceled my new policy as soon as she got me the new policy. At first, she said that she could not cancel my policy, then she said that I did not ask her to cancel the old policy and when I correctly pointed out that the very reason for me calling her was TO CHANGE MY POLICY to a non-smoking policy, she asked me to call Allstate. 

      What I found to be disappointing and odd was that Mrs. ** said that she was not an Allstate representative, but her text messages, her email signature and her online profile ALL say that she is with Allstate. In order to get a refund, All State representatives have instructed me to fill out a form, sign it and email it to them. I did this on the same day. Then, they said that actually the form needs to be hand signed and MAILED to their Dallas address. I did this too. After two weeks of not being able to receive confirmation of the received form, THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER HANDLING THIS, AND THAT I SHOULD START OVER WITH THEIR PARENT COMPANY. If this is not criminal, I do not know what is. I will file complaints with NY DOS and Better Business Bureau. This is absolutely disgusting. Cosmin
