Insurance firms lingering on settling claims: Consumer forum

06:52 Unknown 0 Comments

Insurance firms are lingering on settlement of claims and using the money legally entitled to the insured for as long as they can, amounting to unfair trade practices, a consumer forum has held.
"This has become a general practice that the insurance companies tend to linger on the settlement of the claim and use the money which the insured is otherwise legally bound to have for as much longer period as they can. This clearly amounts to harassment and unfair trade practice," the North East District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum said.
