      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I purchased flight insurance from Emergency Assistance Plus (EAP) on January 28, 2022. I sent a certified check from Michigan State Federal Credit Union for $189.00. Per the credit union, the certified check was cashed on 2/4/2022. I kept receiving bills/cancellation noticies from EAP, so after multiple phone calls, I was told that my check was returned for insufficient funds. I told them this isn't possible because it was a certified check, which means, the funds are guaranteed. On 3/9/2022 I sent a copy of the cashiers check as proof. After multiple phone calls to EAP, On May 16, 2023 I received an email from Charity Glick-Allen, which stated, "Per our Treasury Department: Hello, I have an update directly from Bank of the West. Our associate there wrote this: The check was returned but the Originator will have to file a claim with their bank so we can return the funds from the first time the check was negotiated. Though the member is frustrated by this situation, they will need to file a claim through their bank and have their bank contact Bank of the West directly about this". I have went to my bank several times without success because they state there isn't anything to discuss as they have cashed the check. They also stated that it is against policy to discuss a members financial business with another bank. I am hoping that you can get my refund that I feel I am owed.

      I wish I could give you a review of actually using the program. I’ve had it for 2 years, I thought. I signed up for automatic renewal. After my 1st year I did not get billed and paid from my Southwest credit card as I had signed up. I kept receiving notices to renew. I called and they set me up again. I paid $219 for the annual price on my credit card that they informed me would be charged annually. It was billed to my southwest credit card on 02-15-2024. I continued to get monthly bills for $259. I called several Times and was informed that my credit card payment did not go thru. That was probably because I had already paid. I talked to one young Lady today that informed me my March payment was denied. I just said to cancel. Then I found the paid bill from my Southwest Credit card on 2-15-24 and called again. I got the original person that set this up in February. She apologized and told me that the annual cost went up to $259 on March first. She had made a mistake by setting me up with a new program because I already had one that didn’t expire until after March 1st. So she would have to refund my $219 and I’d have to pay $259 because if the price increase. Neither person wanted to hear my thoughts they just wanted to talk. I just canceled my membership and asked for my $219 refund. I hope I receive it. I wish I had performed my research first before joining. But if the medical service is anything like the customer service, buyer beware.
