I called **** ***** of Alfac to cancel two insurance policies as I did not have the money to pay for such policies. **** told me all I would need to do is send him an email with my signature and the policy numbers in a letter stating I wished to cancel. I sent the cancelation in advance of the effective date of the policy. The policies were not cancelled with no further communication. I then received notice from my employer that I needed to fill out an official cancelation form, and write a letter, to which I did. I received a letter today that the policies will not be cancelled as they were in place when the cancelation notice was received. My employer has given authorization for the policies to be cancelled and Aflac still did not cancel the policy. **** is being terminated as our companies rep as he is irresponsive and irresponsible.Business response

On ******* **, 2023 I filed an accident claim for an accident that occured on *****2023 an a hospital ER visit on *****/23. I called Aflac last week to see what the hold up was and the lady asked a few questions and confirmed some things. I provided that to her. She stated I should be getting paid out my claim soon. I have been with Aflac about 5 years and my claims have NEVER taken this long. I uploaded all appropriate paperwork that is needed. No one reached out to me for anything else my profile has been sitting in review status longer then it should. I call yo speak to someone today the call wait times are horrible. Yall can send me a email about updating my information but cannot send my money owed to me. I pay entirely too much per pay period for my claim not to be paid out. I did my part and you all need to do your part.Business response

My now deceased father, **** ******, purchased an Aflac ****** policy in 1986 and paid his premiums faithfully. He was diagnosed with ****** 2 years ago and we have been attempting to claim his due payment from Aflac ever since. We have sent every document they have requested, sometimes multiple times. They have admitted they have a policy for him, they owe him $100 per day of care, and they have all the documentation they need including a death certificate and doctors’ documentation clearly noting ******. At this point they just will not pay. We are at a loss about to proceed.Business response
