When I turned 18 I too out a universal life insurance policy with State Farm. I took a “loan” out on my policy to pay for school loans when I was about 24. Since then I fell behind in paying back the money and the policy itself. I was unaware and uneducated on the whole process when I borrowed the money. Does anyone know if the policy is canceled, do I still owe what I borrowed? Or not considering it was money I had already paid towards my own policy. It’s crazy that we have to pay back what in reality is out money.

My stepdad passed away mid march, he told me years ago if anything ever happened to him that he had life insurance. The past week ive been trying to figure out his policy number to get more information regarding all of this. I still don’t know his policy # but now have a claim number and they have emailed a document that I need to sign. In order to access those documents I need a “code” which is the date of birth/date of death, unfortunately the first agent got the date of death wrong so I got locked out, they had to resend it again. Today I finally receive the email again, I STILL cannot access it because they keep putting in the wrong date.

I'm a 38/f with 3 young kids. I did an online application for term life insurance (no exam) with Ladder for 750k/30yr. I have no medical issues other than familial high cholesterol controlled with statin, non smoker, no pre-existing conditions etc. They quoted me at 117 a month. I know no exam is generally higher than traditional, but this seems off to me. Is it me, or is this very high? Could the cholesterol be that much of a factor?

Who else thinks that we should ban people who provide false or misleading information in this sub? Or at least have a rule against misinformation so that we can report comments with misinformation and get people can get banned from this sub? As a broker with more than 10 years of experience and running my own agency, I have zero tolerance for misrepresentation and misinformation. This is a bit of a rant with another post's comment from an agent from Primerica r telling a consumer that they should cancel a whole life that has been in-force since 1949 because they claim that the death benefit is going to be taxable, which is lies. We should be able to ban people from this because even the OP responded like, oh, I should consider that. As someone who genuinely cares about clients and protecting their best interests, this is something that boils my blood when I read. EDIT: I'm not talking differences of opinion (e.g. Term in better than permanent). I'm talking about LIES. Verifyable proven lies. Such as "the death benefit of whole life is taxable"

My dad (57M) died by suicide in September. He had an adjustable life policy with Corebridge (formerly AIG) since 1986, so well beyond the exclusion period. We had trouble getting the death certificate and ending up filing the claim in December. We didn’t have access to his policy documents but we found out my mother (dad’s ex-wife) was the primary beneficiary. With my sister and I (his adult children) being the contingent beneficiaries. Due to revocation upon divorce laws, my mother will more than likely be denied the claim. Their divorce decree does not make note of life insurance, my dad simply just didn’t change it after 14 years of divorce. Corebridge advised she file the claim anyway and wait. Well, the claim was filed in December, all paperwork sent in on December 9th. I figured it would take some time with the holidays and all but it’s been just about 3 months. I’ve called several times with them just claiming it’s still under review. Corebridge said claims normally process within 7-10 business days but they have no update as to what is the hold up. Is this pretty standard? Also, should I wait to see the outcome of my mom’s claim? Or should I just go ahead and file my claim? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I am a 37 year old female. I have one child age 10. I do not smoke or drink. I have applied for 2 life insurance policies. One thru all state 6 years ago. One thru state farm 30 days ago. I am a recovering addict and have been clean for 12 years . I have passed every drug screen since than. I keep getting denied because I'm in a matt program. I have taken this medicine for 12 years. I have been denied because on this medication. Any advice on where I can apply?

Has anyone filed a life insurance claim through Aflac? How long did it take them to process and pay out? My father recently passed away. We filed our claim, they said part of a page was missing, so I refaxed the claim form again. They are slightly difficult to receive info from, and curious if anyone has a timeline of their policy payout.

"I'm working with an agent who recommended Corebridge, but they charged me twice for my annual Term Life payment. After a frustrating experience with customer service trying to fix their mistake, I decided to cancel my policy due to their poor support. Can anyone recommend a better company?"
