Cash buy-out of life insurance policy

By June W Keicher, Pittsboro, NC, Verified Reviewer

My mom, Opal Williams, just turned 90 and her life insurance premiums have become quite a burden. Mom thought her investment was a sound one, but when she turned out to live much longer than she expected, she just couldn't keep coming up with the payments. We contacted Coventry and got to work with Tyson Mayer. He listened to our situation and worked with Mom and me to help us sell the policies for a fair price. It took several months, but Tyson was diligent in his communication with us. Even when he was on vacation, Tyson returned our calls. Tyson negotiated to get us the amount of money Mom was hoping for. Tyson managed our account within our deadline and got Mom her check before the next due date of premiums.

Since receiving the checks, Mom has been relieved of having to pay premiums and does not have to worry about finding funds if she needs extra care. I really appreciate Tyson treating us with dignity and care throughout this process. Thank you so much.

Patience, persistence, and professionalism

By George A. Kourkounakis, Easton, PA, Verified Reviewer

I wish to relate my experiences with Coventry Inc through my relationship and interaction with Mr. Scott Kalbfleisch. I learned about Coventry through an advertisement on TV. On the initial call, Scott explained everything in a logical, sequential, and understandable manner. Throughout the initial portion of medical records and HIPPA release forms, Scott ensured that the forms were sent to me on time and in a manner convenient for me. I have no printer and required paper copies via US Postal service. Scott was always accessible via phone, text, or email, which made the application process a smooth one.

The second phase of legal documents, notarized forms, and beneficiary transfer forms was a little more involved but not due to any lack of effort by Scott. Rather, sending loose forms meant that a single document was spread out with other forms. Perhaps it was an idiosyncrasy of the Notary Public who wanted to read the document sequentially and completely, not just the notarized page. I recommend that documents be either stapled or put in one of those document holders with clear plastic front and back with a plastic slider to hold together.

The next phase was the offer phase. I was working with one other company and wanted to be fair and impartial. The other company made a firm offer with a suspense date. I informed Scott that I needed a response from Coventry. There was a delay which exceeded the suspense date, and in absence of a valid competing offer from Coventry, I accepted in writing that offer.

It is this phase which I believe showcases Scott's superior interpersonal skills. He showed me understanding and patience and respected my desire to be neutral and impartial. When Coventry's offer did come through, he helped me to go back to the first company for an amendment of their offer. It was this delicate balance of persistence and patience which allowed me in good conscience to accept Coventry's offer. Even now Scott is updating me as to the process of the final transfer of funds which he could opt not to do, but it is this attention to detail and follow through which elevates him to a higher plane than his competition.

I believe Coventry Inc is fortunate to have an individual of such high caliber as part of the team.

Coventry stepped up to quickly purchase my policy prior to expiration

By Fred Powers, Pasadena, CA, Verified Reviewer

My policy was about to expire when I discovered the possibility of a life settlement program with Coventry. I had only 26 days to complete numerous detailed pages to sell my policy to Coventry, or my 25-year-old policy conversion window would end. My options were to default on converting to a whole life policy from term life at a premium increase that was four times the rate and not affordable for me at the 400% increased rates for a now 70-year-old male, or convert to a life settlement with Coventry.

Fortunately, my inquiry was received by Scott Kalbfleisch, a very capable associate at Coventry. Scott is a true professional in every way imaginable. He courteously and efficiently assisted me in completing all the forms ON TIME and frequently offered to complete as much of the paperwork as possible. He efficiently negotiated a higher settlement amount on my behalf and checked and rechecked that all the documents were submitted completed within the short time frame and with absolute accuracy.

Many thanks to Scott Kalbfleisch and his associates at Coventry for completing an extremely complicated life settlement for me and my family.

Excellent experience!

By Cindy Rehkamp, Minneapolis, MN, Verified Reviewer

Tyson Mayer of Coventry walked me through the process of selling a life insurance policy that I no longer needed. What could have been a very confusing and frustrating process was made uncomplicated with Tyson's help every step of the way.

When I received all the papers to fill out and return, Tyson helped me through what looked to be a very overwhelming process that I didn't think I could even complete. He went through everything, page by page and we got it done.

In addition, whenever I had a question Tyson would actually answer his phone or call me back within minutes. No pushing buttons and being on hold for long periods of time which can be so frustrating.

Coventry and Tyson worked very hard for me and helped me through a very difficult time in my life. They paid more than a fair price for my policy, and I am forever grateful.

Successful policy sale

By Stuart Klein, California, Verified Reviewer

Coventry completed conversion and purchase of a 20-year term policy that was 16 years old for me today. Chris Collins and Tyson Mayer were very professional and a true pleasure to deal with. The sale went as smooth as could be. I highly recommend this team and got the feeling they were really working for my best interest. While constrained by the reality of the secondary market, these gentlemen got me what I felt was a very good price.

Professionalism with a personal touch

By Karen Hawkins, Michigan, Verified Reviewer

I am writing this review in spite of the fact that we were unable to complete a transaction (due to details beyond Coventry's control) because I was highly impressed with the perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness projected by the two representatives with whom I interacted, specifically Tyrone Dixon and Ardit Hoxha. To have had such pleasant experiences with both representatives tells me that Coventry is doing something right as it relates to their hiring and training. So sorry we were unable to complete the deal.

The Coventry experience

By James L. Hawk, East Tawas, MI, Verified Reviewer

In contacting Coventry, I had no idea what to expect. After the initial interview, I was informed that they would like to continue the process. It was at this time I was introduced to Scott Kalbfleish, my new contact. I was so impressed with Scott from the beginning; his at-ease, personal and professional attitude put me at ease. Although the process was long and sometimes demanding, Scott always made himself available and kept me informed either by phone, email or voice mail, always returning my messages. Now that the process is complete and all parties are satisfied, I can only say good things about Coventry and it was well worth the time.

Coventry Direct, if you could clone Scott, your company would really be on to something.

Grateful

By Judy Gibson, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, Verified Reviewer

My husband's life insurance was due to expire, and we paid thousands of dollars to maintain the insurance. My husband mentioned Coventry and that they buy back the life insurance. So I looked into it and met Scott Kalbfleisch, and from start to finish, the whole process went so smooth. I understood it wouldn't be the payout that his life insurance offered, but it would be a nice settlement that would help with his continued in-home nursing and medications.

Yes, as many of you know or will find out, that if you do outlive your insurance, then Coventry is a way to receive some compensation for all the years of monthly payments. Once my husband's insurance expired we were to receive nothing. So again thank you, Coventry, for all the help through this process.

Excellent service

By Thea W., San Benito, TX, Verified Reviewer

Coventry and its agents are awesome people to deal with.

They are extremely professional and very easy to deal with. I was updated in a timely fashion regarding the progress of my submission of my policy. My only regret was that I did not start this process early in the life of the policy. I highly recommend Coventry.

Coventry services

By James J., Philadelphia, PA, Verified Reviewer

I can't say enough about Coventry and Scott Kalbfleisch. He was very professional and informative about the company and how you help folks like myself turn term insurance (convertible) into cash now and also save a portion of the policy for the beneficiary to take care of expenses at the time of my death.

Scott was with me the entire process and explained every detail to the fullest so it was an easy transition. Scott is definitely an asset to the company.

Thanks again Coventry and Scott for taking such good care of me.

Sold my Term Life Insurance to Coventry

By Phillip W., Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

I had a 15-year term life insurance policy which was about to expire within 3 months (I'm 57). The premiums to continue it were astronomical. For me to convert it to a whole life policy meant the premium would increase from $1,230/year to $37,000/year (NOT a Typo - $37K). Plus, I had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. The premium increase was out of the question for me to continue the policy, so it was going to simply expire.

I contacted Coventry and dealt with Scott Kalbfleisch. From day one Scott was a consummate professional. He reviewed my health and policy details meticulously and made me an offer to buy my policy and take over the premiums. Within 6 weeks we completed all paperwork and the cash was directly deposited into my account within 24 hours of being told that all paperwork was finalized.

I was able to clear all my medical and credit card debt and still have over $100,000 remaining for emergencies.

I cannot praise Scott enough for keeping me constantly apprised of where we were in the process, and demonstrating the highest degree of professionalism and concern for my well-being. If you are in the difficult situation of facing a terminal illness and have a policy that you'll never see the benefits from, call Coventry and ask to speak to Scott.

Coventry was a great partner

By Tobias B., Kansas, Verified Reviewer

I just received a check from Coventry that was for a very fair amount to me, and what I hope is a very fair amount for their investors. My transaction took just over a year to complete, not due to any issues with Coventry, but due to the learning process and special circumstances that I had. Coventry's Chris Collins and Tyson Mayer were very informative, very persistent in advocating for me, and most of all very caring during our interactions. I would highly recommend both of these gentlemen.

Our experience with Peter Hershon

By Reed B., Lebec, CA, Verified Reviewer

My wife and I saw the commercial for Coventry on TV. We had an increase on our premiums for our Life Insurance policy and gave Coventry a call. Everyone we talked to was very helpful.

Peter Hershon called us and told us everything we needed to do. He walked us through the paperwork. He was always available when we had questions or got back to us as soon as he could.

Once we sent in all the paperwork and had a phone interview, we received our payment within two weeks.

We are very happy with our decision to sell our policy to Coventry.

Coventry experience

Wife has ALS. Term insurance renewal was coming up and the after term rates were not affordable. Did a bit of research then reached out to the state insurance commission who provided a list of approved settlement providers. Tyson Mayer of Coventry explained the process and helped us every step of the way. It was a great experience during a tough time.

Jason Yarnell

By Ronald G., University Park, FL, Verified Reviewer

The majority of contact was with Jason. Very easy to communicate with, seemed honest, trustworthy, and a hard bargainer. I respected his overall compassion in selling a life insurance policy that you paid for 32 years only to find by the premium increases you couldn’t afford any longer.

Jason helped us through the grief process. He should be valued as a rising star and be compensated accordingly.
