I did it online, (so did my husband), it was very easy to do, and set up within minutes. In 6 months I will get a gift card which is nice. I feel reassured should anything happen to us now. Two day... See more

Lacking Customer Service
After seeing an advert on the tv for the sun life over 50 plan I decided to have a look at the plan and costs on the website, you cannot get any figures or benefit details without entering ALL of your contact details.
Once i had the information I required i left the website shortly after I received an email asking if I had forgotten something as I had not purchased an over 50 plan, I hit the link in the email to unsubscribe, a further 3 emails followed but, I understand that be unsubscribed can take time.
What followed was the disgusting fact that my simple exploration of this plan led to my details being sold / passed without my knowledge to a third party called Reassuring on the first call I explained my reason for looking at the plan but, I had no interest in tacking one out, then came the pressure / hard sell as to why I must take this plan out. I firmly told the caller that I had no intention of taking out a plan but he still tried to pressure me into having one, I again said I did not want this plan and ended the call.
One would have hoped this would be recored and the end of the matter but, I then received a further 2 calls and a voicemail from the same company for the same reason.
When I called the sun life complaints number listed on the website I explained why I was calling and wanted to make a complaint about the use of my details, I was put on hold then eventually told sun life were not interested in my complaint and that i should contact Reassuring directly yet, it was sun life who caused this issue my passing on / selling my details.
As sun life showed no interest in helping me I have now made a formal complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office as I feel sun life have broken the GDP rules my giving a third party my details.

I was treated with kindness
I was treated with kindness, politeness and respect all the time. All questions were answered honestly. Jay was the name of the person I spoke to and he is the sort of person you hope will be on the other end of the phone. He was perfect!!
