Fantastic product, had it for over 10 years and always performed well. User friendly but safe website and app. Makes it easy to save.

Excuse after excuse

I have a life insurance policy with Beagle Street, underwriters being Scottish Friendly which myself and my husband have paid into for 10 years. Unfortunately my husband died in Sept 2023 following a road traffic accident. The insurer has moved the goal posts for submitting my claim time and time again. First they need death cert - tick. Then check Dr's records- tick. Then Post Mortem - Tick. They're happy to take your premium for 10 years but find excuse after excuse to delay payout. It's disgusting. No compassion and no real I'm understanding. Shameful!!!!! Read more Read less

    Dreadful company

    This company took my money for 10 years, and when I asked to surrender the policy gave me no reason why this was not possible, no interest either in ten years
