The oldest company I have found was
lost in 1880.
Years after he was gone, someone found an
old, tattered policy, and said: "I wonder if
anyone can track this company down?"
I started out just needing to find four
companies that had insured my dad
Then -- one company at a time, for tens of thousands of different individuals,
I have made it almost a personal vendetta and tracked down the changes in
life insurance company names and entities so that people in desperate straits
could get paid.
It's really been exciting:
Most people I work with only have two, three or four thousand dollars
coming, but at least one family that I helped had two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars coming to them.
The Good news is:
Every penny you get
will feel like a million
when it helps you out of a crisis.
Right?
| Again let me remind you how good most insurance companies are:
EVEN WITHOUT THE POLICY AND EVEN WITHOUT THE POLICY NUMBER almost
every insurance company will bend over
backwards to get every penny coming to you into your hands just as
quickly as possible.
Again I remind you that I know of cases where the money was delivered to the mortuary within minutes of receiving a fax of the death certificate! They delivered with NO quibbling, NO squabbling, and NO last
minute discounts either. |

The first thing you want to do now
is: CALL the company.
If your company has been absorbed, merged or assimilated then it
is possible that the person answering the phone won't know what
you are talking about.
FIRMLY ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR to help you. |
