[Resolved]  Max Life Insurance — no response to the queries related to loss of documents by the company

I sushant kumar mohapatra had taken a smart steps plus unit linked policy no.[protected] on 18th oct 2009 through Mr JARMAN KUJUR ( CODE- 232219), AGENT ADVISOR, MAX NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE , KOLKATA.While taking the policy i had given a chaque of Rs 12000/- as half yearly payment. In addition to this I had handed over an application form along with a cancelled chaque of my ICICI bank account for ECS from my account on monthly basis wef APR 10. However after that i got posted out of kolkata in Feb 2010 to a remote area in NORTH EAST INDIA. Where i did not have any ICICI bank in near vicinity nor any internet facility to check my account. IN the month of nov 2010 I managed to get access to internet. and I found that NO MONEY was debited from my account towards premium payments for my policy. I had called up custemer care. I was assured that I will get a reply in a short duration. BUt I think that short duration is yet to finish. Now in FEB 2011 when i came back on leave i contacted a max new york office in Bhubaneswar to know why money is not being deducted from my account. the branch officials told me that i had not submitted any documents for ECS as it was not reflecting in my policy details. Then I contacted MR JARMAN KUJUR he told me that he had deposited the documents along with cancelled chaque in the office. The same thing can be confirmed from him. His mobile NO is [protected]. More over the executive at bhubaneswar office told me that I will have to deposit Rs 24000/- to continuewith my policy. otherwise it will lapse.

Now My issue is why should I pay Rs 24000/- in lump sum where there is no fault of mine. If the company executive has lost my documents/ chaque due to his careless ness then the company should be responsible for the blunder and pay the money till date. Who should be held resposible for the loss of 1 and half years.

please look into the matter.

thanking you
sushant kumat mohapatra

NOW my concerns are
It is disheartening to see the first line of your mail. They have not even checked the policy NO while replying to my complaint. This shows the lable of concern they have for the customers problem. Now i can imagine what I should expect from the company executives. Really frustrated on the unrealistic concern shown by the company.
NOT WITHSTANDING that
In their mail they have mentioned the same thing that their executive at their branch office at bhubaneswar told me. And I have mentioned the same in my compliant. if you read it it is clearly mentioned in that. I think they have not gone through my compliant properly. what more have they done.
my issues are
1. who is going to make up for the loss of one and half year
2. where are my lost documents. what is the assurance that they are not being misused/ will not be misused in future. After all the cancelled chaque contained all my account details. Is the company going to take the resposibility for that
3. what is the assurity that the thing are not going to happen again

please look into the matter


Regards

sushant kumar mohapatra
Dear Mr Mohapatra,

Please note that as per your form, we do not have an ECS mandate for premium payment from your end. We have only received your first premium so far and both premiums of Rs 12, 000 each for April 2010 and October 2010 respectively are due. We would request you to pay the outstanding premiums at the earliest to activate your policy. In case you want us to process future payments through ECS, we would request you to contact your nearest Max New York Life office.
I am 100% agree Mr. mohapatra, even I am facing the same problem with Max new york.
