Valid Claim Lodged, No Response, and Half Payment After the Funeral
A valid claim was lodged on time, yet after submitting the complaint, we still received no response. During the week of the burial, 21st Century Life did not give my mother a single cent — not even an explanation — despite her paying premiums faithfully since 2011. She was later paid only half of the cover amount for her sister, and this was 10 days after the funeral.
No family should ever go through what we went through. It’s better to find a life insurer that actually supports clients in their time of need. 21st Century Life is not one of them.
