I just had a nightmare experience with London Life’s Participating Life Insurance.
All they want is your money. The so called “Financial Adviser” has excellent cheating skills. He sold me the insurance with a premium that accounts for more than 1/3 of my salary, and told me the amount can be reduced next year. He hides the fact that reducing the premium “next year” leads to lossing about 1/3 of the premium I paid in the first year. Why he hides the information? Why he insists of reducing it in “next year”? It is because his commission for the first year is Huge, Huge. The commission would belong to him once the first year passed. What I loss would be what he earns, that is the key.
I cancelled the policy and naïvely made complaint to London Life. DO NOT believe London Life’s Complaint Office. All it does is to protect their “Financial Adviser”, therefor not return my money. They turned me down by using two kinds of “proves”:
First, “You signed the policy…” Yes, I signed the policy, but it is a result of cheating, which is what I am complaining for! If signing a policy can be used as reason of turning a customer down, are there any other complaint cases? I don’t know if the Complaint Office has no logical mind or just playing a game with me.
Second, “a note from the “Financial Adviser” saying he explained everything to you...”. The fact is he did not write anything at the meeting with me. It can be made up any time after when there is a need. On the other hand, I provided a real Hand Writing note by the “Financial Adviser” to prove he was cheating me, guess what, London life complaint office just ignored it. It is such unfair!
Do not deal with London Life!!!
