UPDATE: Getting information from Life Insurance Companies

I sent off a fax a few two weeks ago to 10 life insurance companies asking them for information about their companies and their products. I am interested to help Canadians better understand these life insurance companies in a little more detail. I knew it was going to be quite a bit of work to get any information out of a life insurance company, but I'm bracing for the actuals...

• Companies Main
  
• TransAmerica Life Ins
  
• AIG Direct
  
• Canada Life Assurance
  
• Empire Life Insurance
  
• Equitable Life Insurance
  
• Industrial Alliance Ins
  
• Standard Life Ins
  
• RBC Life Insurance
  
• Manulife Insurance
  
• Unity Life Insurance

Not surprising... I didn't hear back from one of these life insurance companies yet. I guess they don't understand that hundreds of people visit this site every day and that what I'm trying to do is help people understand them better!!

The frustrating thing was that I spent the better part of a day getting the fax numbers and contact information for the marketing / media people from each life insurance company.

That involved finding the main phone number for each company and then sitting on hold while the receptionist looked up the marketing / media's contact information for theri company. (It was also amusing when I asked for the ombudsman of each life insurance company.)

I am going to do my follow up calls with the marketing /media contacts that I have been given and see what the status is of their replies.

I get a strong feeling that I'm not going to be at the top of their list of things to do. I am going to see if I can get time and/or date when they will start to look at my life insurance questions, so that I can start to post the answers here for our readers.
