The letter below was published by Jakarta Post, 22/02/07. This is my story, abused by an insurance company:
Cancellation Of Policy without Notice by PT AIG LIFE
What happens if a policy-holder submits a claim but the policy has been cancelled by the insurance company without notice?
I have been a policyholder at PT AIG LIFE since July 2005, paying by credit card quarter-yearly.
On January 25, 2007 I called the customer Service office at PT AIG LIFE when I realized that since I had received the policy, I had recieved any notification that I am still a member active customer. The Customer Service person who handled the case told me that my policy had been been cancelled by the company.
The reason was the credit card I normally paid with had changed. I reacted by sending a complaint email to the Head of Customer Service Department on the same day, which was never responded to appropriately.
A staff member just informed me that the email had been received and would be discussed.
The staff member who offered me the policy in the beginning assured me tha tI could pay by credit card. I agreed because it was so simple and safe. Later the bank issued me a new credit card with a new number and it was really out of my control.
I believe that PT AIG Life should have been able to deal with this even though the credit card number had been changed.
