My father Died may 30th 2023 and i called AARP ***** Dental to cancel his policy. When i initially called to order this dental service i was repeatedly told it is NOT a contract and is a MONTHLY service. I can CANEL ANYITME. I am NOW told i NEED a DEATH CERTIFICATE to cancel this policy BECAUSE it has been greater than 90 Days. AARP ***** Dental is making this process extremely difficult. they have told me it is a monthly cancel anytime no contract plan and YET repeat the message that i may ONLY cancel with a death certificate. The 3 employees on the phone have been rude and not knowledgeable. i ask " why do i need a death certificate for a no contract, monthly, cancel anytime plan?" the AARP ***** dental employees repeat " because it has been over 90 days". the phone reps become irate and have a horrible attitude problem when they can not answer the question.Business Response

Re: ***************************, Complaint # ********
Dear Dispute Resolution Team:
We are writing regarding the complaint of ******************************* that was filed with your office on December 6, 2023 and transferred to our office for handling. The complaint entails a check payment for completion of the AARP Driver Safety course that has not cleared her bank to date.
Currently,the matter is under investigation. Our records indicate that ****************** attended the AARP Driver Safety on October 30, 2023, and successfully completed the course. Fortunately, it is our understanding that ****************** received the full benefit of her payment, in that she received her AARP Driver Safety completion certificate at the end of the course. Her concern as to why the $20 course payment submitted to the instructor had not cleared her bank after several weeks is the subject of our ongoing research. We thank ****************** for reporting this issue.
If ****************** should need any additional assistance while we complete our review, she may call me directly at **************, and it would be my pleasure to assist her further. If more convenient, she may send an email to [email protected] or mail it to the following address: AARP, Consumer Care Ombudsman Team-*******, 601 E Street, NW, Washington, DC 20049

Re: *********************** ********
To The Dispute Resolution Team:
We are in receipt of your letter regarding ************* claim that he continues to receive numerous unwanted mailings from AARP addressed to ********************************* at his address. We have investigated his concern and welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter.
Our database has a record for ************************* which was created in our system on January 26, 2016; however there was no record of ******************************* at the address **************** provided.
On December 12, 2023, we suppressed targeted mailings (those specifically sent to *******************************) from AARP, and our affiliated service providers at the following address:
***** ****************
MIAMI, Florida *****
As some mailings are prepared ahead of their distribution date, it may take up to 12 weeks for this request to filter through our database and those of our service providers, and therefore, **************** may still receive mailings addressed to ******************************* in that time frame.
If **************** continues to receive additional mailings after March 5, 2024, he may call me directly at **************, and it would be my pleasure to assist him further. We ask that he please have the specific mailing available, as each notice has specific codes that will aid in their identification. If more convenient, he may send an email to my attention through the following email address,***************************************.

I initially purchased ******** Cruise Line gift cards on your website on 11/22/23. It said that they would arrive to my inbox "shortly". When the did not arrive in a couple of hours, I contacted AARP and the representative said that he would send the email again. I still did not receive them so the next day 11/21/23, I contacted AARP and was told that the purchase was "under review". I was told that someone would get back to me. I have called several times and asked for the purchase to be cancelled and that my card be refunded. I was then told that gift cards were "non-refundable". But I NEVER received any gift cards. Right now I have no gift cards and the charge has posted as a final sale. Despite me requesting that the cards be sent or the purchase refunded neither has been done. On 11/21/23, when I spoke with *********************, he stated that you would let me know something by the end of that day. I have not heard back from him and I have called him several times and I have sent emails. I called today 11/22/23 to the main member service number and was told that fraud was suspected!!! I am offended and embarrassed to be accused of such a dangerous crime. I know that this is my credit card. I know the purchase is legitimate. I know that I have a current booking with ******** Cruise Line in my name (*************************). So I am not worried that your company is accusing me of a crime because I know that I have not committed one. I have officially requesting that the purchase is cancelled and refunded, but they refused to do so. I do not have the gift card or my money. AARP has both the gift card and my. money. They can't have it both way.Business Response

We are in receipt of your letter ************** claim that she did not receive links to the twelve ******** Cruise gift cards she purchased totaling $3600 through AARP Rewards within the expected 24-hour timeframe. We have investigated her concern and welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter.
**************** joined AARP on November 20, 2023, with a $12 payment for a one-year term. On that date, she also enrolled in the AARP Rewards program. Additionally on that date, she purchased eight $500 ******** Cruise gift cards for the discounted price of $450 each and four $100 ******** Cruise gift card for the discounted price of $90 each through the AARP Rewards. These purchases totaled $3960.
AARP Rewards states that the initial purchase transaction encountered a payment issue. *************** called our contact center and was informed that resolution would take three to five business days. Unfortunately, this period included the Thanksgiving Day holiday.
On November 22,2023, **************** posted a comment on the Better Business Bureau/AARP Reviewspage. On November 27, 2023, our representative who was managing **. ******* case reported that the issue was resolved to her satisfaction. She was contacted, and we responded to the review/comment. That transaction appears to have been removed from the Reviews page when this complaint was processed a few days later.

To the Dispute Resolution Team:
We are in receipt of your letter regarding ****************** claim that she receives unwanted solicitations mailings from AARP. We have investigated his concern and welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter.
We could not identify anyone in our database with that name through the information provided (name, zip code, phone number, email address).
If *************** can provide her full street address, we can add that information to effectively suppress any targeted membership solicitations. She can send that information through any of the channels listed below.
In addition to targeted membership solicitations (those sent to a particular person at a specific address), AARP also distributes generic promotional pieces that are sent out in mass mailings as part of AARPs overall membership acquisition program. These items are neither addressed to nor targeted to a particular person or household. They are inserted either in shared mail programs (bundled with other offers from other retailers or marketers) in the regular US Mail or inserted inside a subscription newspaper or catalog. Since these are mass inserts, we do not actually know if the person receiving them is already an AARP member or if they live in a 50-plus household.
If **************** has any questions or concerns, she may call me directly at **************, and it would be my pleasure to assist her further. If more convenient, she may send an email to [email protected], or mail to the following address: AARP, Consumer Care Ombudsman Team, 601 E Street, Washington, DC 20049.

The bill of $17.33 is the remaining amount of earned premium owed to cover the time the policy was active from August 2, 2023, until the requested September 6, 2023,cancellation date. However, this amount has since been waived and will not be pursued further. The Hartfords position remains unchanged.We apologize for the inconvenience ******************** has experienced. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly by calling ************
Sincerely,
