David, you have it in a nutshell, some of the “Get out” clauses are the finacial equivalent of “Catch 22″.
The Non Disclosure clause for instance is unbeatable, we were accused of “Moral Turpitude” can anyone explain that to me?
I thank you for this very interesting discussion, Best regards, David Norris.

Let it all out David!

Isn’t it ironic that insurers SHOULD promote loss prevention but their primary focus (and that of their main distribution channel) is to sell risk protection because it pays better, especially if you are able to rely upon an excessively complex range of “get out clauses” to compensate for their failure to adequately ascertain or understand the risk profile of their potential victims!?
Cheers,

David

David, thank you for your informed comments, however if you were aware of our case I think you would agree “Crooks” is probably too mild a descriptioin of our Underwriters.
Fraudsters, Con- Artists, Parasites would probably be more appropriate, for many years I carried a donor card, stating any part of my body in the event of my demise could be given to anyone of any creed, colour or nationality, the exception being Insurance Underwriters.

David: consider yourself fortunate that you found one…you may just have got lucky with the circumstances, timing, amount or lack of insurance staff knowledge!

“Crooks” may be a bit strong. On reflection, maybe not but investigation at the appropriate level would be something akin to inviting investigators to punch themselves in the face. We have already seen that the banks are “fire proof” and Rating Agencies nothing more than a market tool.

The insurance industry has much to be afraid of but, typically, fail to appreciate the nature of size of the risk, despite numerous warnings. Take your pick from any of the following articles and links:

“Both insurers and insurance intermediaries need to fundamentally rethink how risk is assessed” http://wp.me/p16h8c-Ho

Transparency – Trust – Trends – TRANSFORMATION http://wp.me/p16h8c-20

Savvy Buyers won’t be bullied or buy the BS! http://wp.me/p16h8c-C8

There is plenty more where that came from but lack of leadership and moral compass(es) may mean me and plenty of others are “pissing in the wind”!?

Take it from me, all the insurance companies I have had the misfortune to come across, bar one …have been crooks!
As a result neither I nor many of my friends, colleagues and relations, no longer take out insurance that is not obligatory.
The insurance industry like the banks , needs serious investigation.

The Insurance Industry are nothing but ‘dream pedlers’, they promise in the event of catastrophe, they will save you from the worst effects, in reality when you present them with a claim, they dissapear into the distance like a tomcat with scalded nuts!
