Legal and General Life insurance reviews (113)

Good cover but not too good with paperwork

3
My wife and I decided to change life insurance providers after a telephone price comparison. To be honest, I wish we hadn't - first of all, the cover has doubled in cost from the old ones (not what we were promised), and whilst mine went smoothly, due to a slight heart murmur they insisted my wife provide more info by letter, which she did. They then claimed they never received it and cancelled the whole thing! We ended up rearranging and the cover offered is pretty good, but in all honesty, I wish we'd stuck with Aviva and saved the hassle! Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Insurance was fine, cancelling policy was a challenge

3
Had a joint life insurance policy with my spouse for ~2 years. Opted to cancel the policy as I could get a better rate elsewhere - was told on the phone that it was all completed and that I should cancel my direct debit as they would automatically take an extra payment otherwise. Did so, and then got urgent e-mails/letters claiming that my direct debit needed to be reinstated or I might lose cover - would have been very upsetting had I now known that I already had replacement cover elsewhere! You would think their system would know that the policy was cancelled and therefore the direct debit was no longer needed. Reviewed on: 9th November 2015
