eSignature Legitimacy for Insurance Industry in Canada

How to eSign a document: e-signature legitimacy for Insurance Industry in Canada

five most common fraud claims that i personally have seen being over a decade in the insurance industry the number one is the vehicle registration if you own the car and your name is on the title and it's registered to you you were the only person that can insure the car you can put as many drivers on the policy as you want that's not a problem they'll let you pay as much as you can but the case is if you're the owner you need to insure it you can't put it under somebody else's policy now there are some caveats where the legal guardians can in most cases have them listed on the policy and that's more of a company per basis but 8 out of 10 companies are going to say no way unless your parents are added to the registration then you can't have that insurance you have to have your own that's just because the law is you can't make a profit on insurance and if i didn't own the car and you paid me for the claim i'm making money am i going to hand it to you probably but if i walked away with the money because it's my insurance policy i'm claiming the car i can walk away and never say anything to you and in that situation i have made a profit and that is illegal that creates a fraud profile and in a moment we'll talk about what happens when you get on the fraud list and why you don't want to be on it if you guys are shopping for better rates i've got a link to a company below feel free to check them out it's cover insurance and they are one of the best companies i've worked with the 30 plus companies there's a link there below teens are the second most common when you have a teen and they turn 16. in most cases when they turn 15 they get a permit and you list them as a non-driver on your policy well a non-driver technically means a non-driver but in these cases when they're teenagers and their learners permit they're a permitted driver and so you're going to list them as a permitted driver and have them rated on the policy well the rate is zero it doesn't cost anything to have a permitted driver so it doesn't hurt you what that's doing is that's essentially setting a trigger for the company or the underwriting the underwriter to go back into that file once that date of birth for that permitted driver hits 16 and they're going to follow up probably within a few months to verify if they've gotten their license if they have they need to go on to your policy or they need to go off and get their own policy most people in the household kind of shy and hide the fact that they have teenage drivers mainly because the cost is ridiculously expensive anywhere from 100 to 300 a month extra to have a young driver they're the highest risk there is they're learning to drive so the risk is very high now other companies have rebuttaled that to fight back and give money back to the client because they don't want to lose mom and dad in the whole policy if it's a good risk so they're adding teen safe driving systems smart driving uh courses that they can take to get discounts and i've seen policies where that teenage driver didn't actually even add that much after they've done all of the options they can have a higher deductible in some cases so depending on the company that you go with they offer different plans and different programs and different usage base for that team that's one way to kind of open that up so you're not trying to hide non-drivers off of the policy the third one is more home based is you're claiming items that you don't own if you have a fire a theft vandalism whatever the case is you might say oh i had a laptop in my car or oh i had this or oh i had that in my house and i had a ping pong table that was eight hundred dollars and you might have sold it at a grad sale we don't know right you have a receipt for it but now you're starting to claim that and that's a big big thing against fraud if you get caught with that and fraud is stamped on your name it's going to hurt you drastically more to come on that because i actually have an example of a customer that i worked with that got stamped as a fraud claim and it was not good just don't claim it if you don't own it if it's something that was sold or whatever the case is follow through treat the company just normal claim what you have if you're not sure then let them know but they'll probably let you claim anyways they're usually okay with having all of that stuff piled up and not necessarily be exact i had these paintings i had this thing had that and whatnot if there's a claim in the situation a car there's usually not a whole lot of damage it's just the car in most cases maybe an extra 500 or a thousand dollars worth of a laptop or whatever the case depending on your coverage you have that available too and they're going to make you prove a lot of that stuff with receipts or with proof of purchase if they feel that it is possible fraud in those situations where they're small increments they might just deny that part of the claim and not necessarily stamp your file as fraud but just be careful because they have full rights to do so the fourth way is rate or exclude you have the choice in most companies to either rate a driver or exclude them from the policy sounds good but if you exclude somebody they never can drive your car the insurance company technically doesn't care because if they drive your car not covered at all the loan company would care if you have a loan because now you're choosing not to let them be covered if you exclude somebody usually it's because of cost the cost is too high for a 16 year old so we're just going to say they're never going to drive my car excluded from my policy if they drive the car crash it it's completely not covered at all if you rate them you have the opposite happen they're now covered on that policy as a driver once again we said you can have as many drivers as you want so now that they're a driver on that policy you have to pay that premium based on their risk if they have a ticket if they have the claim anything in the last three to five years that's going to fall onto your insurance policy it's not so bad because they don't necessarily rate it as heavy as if you were the person that had that issue but additional drivers can affect those rates so let's dive into the fifth one and this is the actual claim that i had to file and it turns out after an investigation it was a fraud claim what had happened was a customer of vine will call them customer abc and they bought a vehicle they had it insured for several years they had jewelry they had the house they had the whole nine yards looked like a great client several thousand dollars it was expensive they added a teenage driver and it overall was just a typical policy now they were paying quite a bit of premium and that person had gone through more of a financial and a struggle family-wise ended up splitting away from their spouse in that scenario they had already frauded me because they said they were single from the beginning and they weren't separated at the time they were married that spouse actually lived in the house had a car we were insuring the car but the spouse probably had some sort of claim or ticket and the several thousand dollar policy probably would have doubled in that case so let's hide that person down let's move them aside and pretend that it's okay it's not going to be okay because when that person gets in an accident and we find out they're the driver you're married to them and that scenario has happened now you're gonna be fraught that's actually not what triggered it what happened was they came out and said oh i'm separated now so now it didn't really matter as much because they were getting their own policies spouse was off in a different house and what was happening was that person was supposedly selling a vehicle to the spouse the spouses purchasing it we're switching the title over it's going to them and they didn't tell us this this is how we found out that they had a spouse in the first place and that they were separated customer abc took the vehicle off of their policy said i sold it it's gone thank goodness a week later we get the vehicle added back to the policy that was a little bit odd but they said the sale fell through what ended up happening was the spouse who wasn't officially separated yet had gotten into a major accident with the vehicle they put it back on the other person's policy they insured it waited a couple days filed a total loss claim most people that is a trigger to tell us hey something happened what happened was the fact that the vehicle left then it came back the registration they can look that up people it never changed so it was like oh who's customer and oh that's my spouse well what's you said you were single oh no we're separated oh well what's where's he living oh we're supposed to rape for that oh here's the scenario and so there's all of these like diving in and investigations that happen it doesn't happen overnight it could take a few months to process once that has processed that customer oddly enough it was still insured with the company that i was with at the time and they didn't kick her out but what they did is the rate went skyrocket i'm talking it almost tripled the claim was denied so the vehicle itself got taken off and they didn't even allow that claim to go through you can try to sue them if you want but you're probably going to lose that case we had the recorded call because most insurance agents are recording their calls for eno purposes that way it's errors and omission if i tell you something wrong i have to illegally cover that piece and we have insurance for ourselves that if we say something wrong then the insurance is going to pay because we just like you don't have a million dollars just sitting in our wallet to pay that person in that scenario she got denied completely and she got stamped as fraud how did i know this because we got the paperwork in an email saying fraud claim they file a fraud claim with the state and now on your name you have fraud you can no longer work in the insurance industry you can no longer work in a financial industry where you're handling people's money personal security any of that if you have any type of fraud when they do a background check they're going to notice that there's fraud on your name unless you can dispute it and get it off there's no way that one of those high pay high amazing jobs if you want them are going to be available to you if that's not a worry then great that's all power to you but that can go worse if somebody were to get injured in that case now you've got a lawsuit against you and you lost everything that you've earned or at least a chunk of it every single year is coming out of your income where you're paying that back to someone that you could have potentially injured also you could get jail time fraud is fraud man so go watch the wolf of wall street it's no different than him making a uh company to sell stocks they sell them through his company that makes commission that turns around and buys them somewhere else and then he went to jail for what however many years he went to jail for it's just fraud that's just the way it is he can't go back into the industry at least with the company and be legitimately taken seriously or even worked with those are the top five frauds that i have personally seen the process that it goes through and the outcome that it can be it's not the end of somebody's life it's definitely a depression for a few days or a few years but it's something that if it happens you've made a bad mistake that's not even the end of it i've seen other people where they've stolen their own cars chop shopped it claimed it on insurance and then found it magically they're going to check into things like that be careful if you are thinking of it it's not worth the risk let me know in the comments below what you've seen in the past i'm curious if you've had any other experiences or maybe you got mistaken for that situation i would love to hear how you got out of it or how it got
