Multiple Verification for Minor Issue…

I had a small claim (about $200) for a health issue on board a cruise. The ship's doctor had quarantined me for a day and I had verification of the charges but AON wouldn't pay unless I verified that Medicare wouldn't cover it. It is a known fact that Medicare wouldn't cover out of the country charges and it would have cost the government more money than it was worth to verify that. I gave up which I assume is what they wanted!

Customer service so bad you’ll think you’re being pranked

Customer service so bad you’ll think you’re being pranked.

I can’t fathom how or why the service is so bad, but it honestly feels like the customer service reps are being financially incentivised to stop you accessing your account/requesting transfers.

Each person you speak to, whether via online chat, email or phone is less helpful than the last, and all very rude.

I’m desperately trying to transfer my funds out of this pension provider into any other, and suggest anyone else unfortunate enough to have a fund with them does the same, if they can (which feels impossible atm)!

Worst option

Hello, we purchased insurance through Hanaley, with several coverage options.
One of the points, specifically point 30, is listed as a delay in returning home. Well, we arrived 9.5 hours late due to the plane delay.
Once we submitted all the documentation, the company washed its hands of it and, under a false pretext, told us it didn't apply.
We felt helpless. When you purchase insurance for your honeymoon, you do so precisely to be covered for all possible scenarios.
Likewise, with a broken suitcase at customs, we find ourselves in the same situation. The company washes its hands and shirks its responsibility.
We demand compliance with the coverage.

Not true to their advertising

Our flight was delayed twice before getting changed with an arrival time of an hour after our cruise was scheduled, at that point we cancelled our cruise. Claim was filed the next day with request documents provided, we got a reply 4 days later requesting documents from the airline another wait to get that from the airline but it was provided. Documents went to insurance, no word back until I contacted them., then they wanted documents for expenses, I called then and told them there were no documents for expenses except for cruise and excursions. Claim denied 4 days later stating not responsible for airline delays. NCL booked airlines . Seems as though they look for any excuse not to pay for what they're getting paid to do.

Appaling pensions administration

Administration of my late father in law's BMW pension has been simply appalling, 6 months since his death and they continue to introduce hurdles and blockers to avoid paying a pension to his widow. Their complaints department "blanked" my complaint which detailed numerous mistakes, untruths and hurdles. We remain in deadlock.

Don't invest your money with AON!!!
My experience is that their fees are extortionate. Unlike many other providers I couldn't get an up to date online valuation of my pension fund with them without asking for one. Once I got the valuation I decided to move my fund to another provider. When I requested the transfer they then insisted on charging me £300 for this because it meant I was asking for another valuation within a year.
I believe £300 was disproportionate to the amount of effort required but when I made a complaint they insisted they were entitled to charge that amount.

Called 0800 Aon and got Zero/Zip/Nada

Called the 0800 Aon line and spoke to someone who sounded like he knew nothing - & couldn't care less. Then said Aon doesn't cover mixed dwellings with a business - even though it's a residential unit with an individual title & doesn't share any access, wiring or anything at all with said business. So, I said in that case I'll look elsewhere for another insurer for my 3 properties - expecting a 'no, don't leave loyal, long time customer,' but he said fine, let me know when you want to cancel. Found a way better insurer who was eager for my business - with lower premiums to boot.

apparently they value feedback and take complaints seriously, I am waiting on funds since May on a closed policy and they have not responded to my complaint and it appears bothered to respond to any of the feedback on this platform. As induvial we normally have no choice but to go wit the pension option given by our employee. I guess AON know this and quite frankly do not care about what we think. My advise take all your pensions out and stop these fat cats creaming off your hard earnt money.

A few wrinkles in the beginning, but got it sorted in the end.

Despite my previous misgivings of Aon's service so far - triplication of paperwork, delays in returning ID documents etc., it seems things have suddenly improved, so I have chosen to edit my review. Faced with the prospect of delaying my drawdown (final pension transaction from my previous employer has still not been received), they offered me the option to leave a small sum in my pension account to keep it open and to transfer the bulk of it into drawdown. Having accepted that offer by email this morning, I received a telephone call from a very helpful chap this afternoon calling to confirm if I was happy with everything and to inform me that they will execute the transaction tomorrow and that I should receive my tax free lump sum within a couple of weeks!

hands down the worst company I've had the misfortune to deal with

I'm in the 6th month of transferring my pension to a new provider. The amount of information I've provided to date must exceed 50 pages, and I'm now being asked for more information to extract the remaining small amount. It takes a minimum of two weeks to get any sort of reply from the customer "service" team. Frustrating and inept. I will truly be happy to see my pension out of their hands and with a more professional and responsive company. I'm seriously considering writing this amount off rather than have to deal with any more of this nonsense.
