As much as i empathise with you, it is advisable that no matter the policy u are undertaking, pls go thru a reputable Insurance Broker. They will not take a kobo from you for their services, they will ensure you get the best competitive rating and ensure you get adequate indemnification in the event of a pay back. I will advise you, rather than use telephone calls, do physical visit to their office and meet their Branch Manager who shall ensure your claim is attended to. A follow up letter to the discussion with the responsible matter will do you a whole lot of good. Wish u all the best.

More importantly did the insured pay by cheque to the company? Often times customers ignore the advise to pay cheque, they prefer to give cash to the agent. Some of these agents do not show loyalty and then often disappear with the cash. If you deposited via cheques, you can very easily recover your money or as the other guy said, make a formal report to NAICOM and Consumer Protection. They will be made to pay.

Mcino, from your narrative, the initial marketer who started your Policy for you had left, your Policy Account was transferred to another marketer to manage, for your continuity. The new marketer also left without telling you. But what I don't get is the part where you were asked to terminate your Policy. Who asked you to terminate the Policy?
As a branded Company that Mutual Benefits Assurance is, you cannot lose from transacting with us, rather you get value for your patronage. You were misinformed along your Policy Period to terminate it, which will make you forfeit some benefits. Please understand that I'm not trying to confuse you with my assistance and advice, but please don't terminate your Policy.
You can redate the plan if it is lapsed.

Good one.

Are you implying that all marketers in your outfit are not trustworthy and also incompetent to manage clients' funds? Pathetic.
Well you can think wht ever you want to think but in world of business 'trust' is the basic of two business associate regardless of wht organization they are representing..so my dear friend.even if it's Leadway,Mutual or any other Assurance company the truth is that every organization have the good the bad and the ugly.. Anything can happen but investing in Assuranc policy is great investment any reasonable business minded person will want to invest in ..it's all about doing what is right

Good evening all, I hope we can all read this and be more educated on the issue. We need to get a solution to this issue not make a joke or confuse people on the benefits of insurance and how the industry has transformed over the years.
My name is Onweluzo Michael and am a staff of Mutual Benefits Life Assurance. It's sad that you have been having account Officers that are not serious on the job, or don't stay long on the job. Your fund is soo safe with us and am sure you are holding your document which shows clearly the plan you are doing and at what point you can surrender your policy.
Also we have a vibrant office in Abuja there that you can walk into and get the best service rendered to you. We have various platforms in different banks, in fact virtually every Nigerian bank that you can also pay through. There are lots I could keep on saying here, but some people will still want to convince you insurance is scam and all that, but it's something that when we really need it, it will be too late.. . Go ask anybody in nnpc about the plane crash that swallowed over 45 of their staffs, they will tell you the good story of Mutual benefits and Nigerian insurance.. . Ask staffs of tvc or Nigerian police that has lost 1 or 2 colleagues if we didn't keep to our own end of the agreement.. Imagine someone paying just 300,000(that's 50,000 for 6 months).and had an accident that made him permanently disabled, and we could give his family the 3,000,000 he was targeting to get at maturity.... do you know what relief that gave to his family.... This is just 1 out of the million claims both Mutual benefits life assurance and other Nigerian insurance company's pay on daily basis.. ..

The alarm you raised is untrue. I worked for a leading insurance company in Nigeria for 30 months. So I know that insurance is real, too real. My friends in the claims dept are alwys busy settling claims. The MD of the coy even said that claims payment is the best advertisement for insurance!
Your marketers stopped working with Mutual Benefits and you did not deem it fit to reach out to their head office or branch office. You did not google the address of their head office and send an email to their boss. You come to nairaland and say you have been duped!? Haba!!!!!!!!!!!!

Insurance companies hire many marketers in Nigeria because the penetration of insurance in nigeria is below 2%. in Nigeria insurance is not bought but it is sold. meaning no one ordinarily wakes up and walks to the insurance company to ask to buy an insurance. The insurers run after clients to sell, to collect premium. Even 3rd party motor insurance which is compulsory,how many people have it? the original?

Many do not understand nor seek to understand what they are doing. Someone close to me bought life insurance which can only and ONLY be terminated after death or the person risks charges on the premium collected without pay. The person now needs money due to job loss and the insurance company explains the facts on the policy document but the person feels cheated even though have to collect the change like that.
many insurance coys now have life insurance that runs together as an investment. So you can cash all or part of your premium after 2, 3, 5 or so years.

Lets be properly informed ooo.

U think you are the only one with insurance coverages?

Like i said, insurance in Nigeria should come with "buyers beware". There is a reason insurance companies are hated so much that it even finds itself in US presidential debates. You have no idea. Are you aware that insurance companies do declare occurrences as "an act of God" to avoid paying compensations? Read the history of insurance and how it started. Just like casinos, insurance was started by the mafia. The government took over and exerted control thereby forcing them to take it mainstream. Just like in a casino, there are winners but losers outnumber the winner. Insurance is a business that is out to make profit. In a lot of the cases, one has to go through the court to get them to honour their contract.

Read through the posts. All the insurance sales agents are on the prowl promoting their business as the next best thing after garri and sugar. Are there good insurance companies? Yes. But you have to sieve through the chaffs. They rely on their commissions for survival as agents. Like robots, the agents vomit their training manuals on their clients and when prodded, they transfer the curious client to higher ups. The only time people understand who they are dealing with is during compensation. Then the macabre dance and unnecessary delay follow suit.

Ignorance is indeed a disease.. You see my friend there are two words involve there's the INsurance and the ASsurance.. Now, You talk about INsurance as a way of compensation whch is true no doubt abt that but wher u wnt to compare it wit an ASsurance policy that's whr u r wrong..so u see ASsurance is a guarantee investment plan with mutual agreement that must occur.. But INsuranc is a compensation investment plan with mutual agreement that may or may not occur.. The point is that u hve to understnd wht sort of investment you r investing in b4 investn.. So My dear friend,I think there's a lot you need to knw abt Invstment policy other than jst history. Cos the Idea is all abt makin Money.. And I say only a dumb person will say he does'nt wnt to mke Money.. You just need 2 understand the phychology behind the philosophy of real meaning of making Money.

Insurance. Assurance. You are vomiting what they sold to you.
Insurance practice is based on probabilities and spread of risks among participants. As I stated, it sounds good in the books.
The implementation is what sucks--reality meets promises.

By the way, nothing in life is guaranteed except death.

Timeline is not a variable of guarantee. So... death is guaranteed.

Insurance is good. But in Nigeria and probably anywhere else, most of them are scammers.

And you can take that to the bank.

They take their premiums and turn down claims or try to wriggle out of their obligations.

Ever wonder why their policies are followed by 5 fonts fineprints? They don't expect you to read it and most people don't read it.
That's their hidden treasure.

If it is this difficult for you the depositor to claim I wonder how it will be for claimants (in case of eventualities).

Most of those people from insurance company's are marketers placed only on commissions. They leave the company once they get better offers. The insurance company's fault is that they hardly update customers when their Marketing Officers change. It is always good to establish a relationship with the company and not just the marketers.

NAICOM (http://naicom.gov.ng/payload?id=66088c7c-1bcd-4503-9284-85ec6f276d79) and Central Bank are their regulators. You can report them as a last resort.

How many years was your policy?

If it has matured, you can get your money.

I had a policy with them and I have collected my money. Try this number 07098767003 ( this was the number I tried, I got it from the receipts given to me).

Also, you can get your money even if you are not in Lagos, as long as they have a branch office in the state you are in.

I hope this information would be helpful.

Cheers.
Thanks! I will try the number. The policy is not mature yet. I had to terminate it and from what I read, I am still entitled to what I deposited, without any interest. That is what I actually want

That's why I said most and not all.

Exposure to stock market is a good investment as well.

There are people who invested in the Nigeria stock market in 2008 who are yet to see their money up till today. In the book they were rich but they couldn't liquidate because of unscrupulous brokers. It was considered very sexy to be a stockbroker in Nigeria in 2008. Today folks run away from them. The same awaits insurance brokers. Most of them have no idea what they are selling. Based on higher commissions, their companies tell them what products to push to the consumers. They dont care if you get burned or not. One must exercise due diligence in dealing with an insurance company. It wouldn't hurt to run it by an experienced business attorney ( not a charge-and -bail aka Ambulance chaser attorney) .
Re: Mutual Benefit Assurance Ltd Seizes My Money- With Pics by olumilade(m): 4:34am On Mar 08, 2016
Ignorant people commenting on Insurance are missing quite a lot.

If there is any where you need/get value for your money, it is in Insurance. Who manages you elaborated Pension scheme? - Insurance.
Where do you think people get money to rebuild after global Flood in houses, World trade center collapse, Various Gas pipeline vandalism, Fire damage to factories? Do you know that people get paid for burial expenses of loved ones.. Niaja... THEY WILL NEVER TELL YOU WHERE THE GOING IS GOOD.

Most people just comment based on what their society passed on to them without facts or proof.

Insurance Companies pay. It has been proven and if it were a scam as most Finance* Illiterates were saying. How come it is accepted globally? Better wake up a be better enlightened.

Let the guy learn is lessons and know that most individual Nigerians (such as those that comment on this platform) are not fraudsters (A few still has integrity anyway). Especially when it has to do with cash. Don't you get to see the warning sign in banking hall. Abi you think CBN they play with this cashless thing. Oga o.

How can someone in this age be passing on CASH!!! to an agent to a 3rd party - IN NIGERIA - Learn to use other official cashless means to transact business. Also, try and always have a relationship with the companies, not their agents only (FROM INCEPTION). And for this guy, take your evidences and go to the company, even if the agents ran away with your money...N80,000.. Oga o. grin (And people want to murder a sector transacting genuine businesses in the tune of billion of Dollars globally..Oga for Nigerians o.)

I have in time past also been a victim with BANKS and SO CALLED INVESTMENT COMPANIES registered and players in the Stock Exchange Market.

I think a lot of people are just not knowledgeable on Insurance, that's all. Please have a rethink. I have benefited in many ways and businesses & Individuals too have. In Western countries, as we call them, everyone know you don't jock with it.

WALK INTO AN INSURANCE COMPANY TODAY, AS YOU ALL DO TO BANKS AND SEE YOU LIFE PROGRESS AND PROTECTED. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOUR FUTURE SECURED AND NOT BASED IT ON OLD MEN'S COMMENTS. THANK YOU.

Man there is a lot you still need to know. I have followed your comments and i can see you are quite knowledgeable, but not just in Insurance. Please research again. An Act of God means a situation no one has control over such as natural disasters. and you know what, they pay for it. I have insured both in Nigeria and overseas and it is just the same. I think the challenge is the Nigerian mentality, poverty, ignorance and our financial illiteracy, exhibited by even the so called learned Nigerian. The other truth is no Nigerian will ever come out to tell you that they have made recovery from Insurance. They just keep quiet.
