Qualification issue(s)

By Mae-Mae T., Saratoga Springs, NY, Verified Reviewer

Coventry Direct contacted me in mid-January 2022 for selling my life insurance policy that I have had since 2010. On January 27th, 2022, we started the inundating and invasive process of gathering all sorts of data including signed medical records by my Doctor as well as a statement from my life insurance company. This process went on for seven weeks and it took quite a bit time, detailed energy, and patience.

Everyone in this process knew when my 65th birthday is and yes, I do turn 65 this year in 2022. On March 21st, at 16:13 hours, I was told that I DON'T qualify to sell my life insurance policy because of three reasons:

1) I am considered a healthy being, an MBC survivor.

2) I don't turn 65 until December of 2022.

3) It would cost Coventry Direct $4,100 to complete this process.

As it would turn out, everyone at Coventry Direct that I worked with on this since January 2022 knew these three things, yet everyone continued to prolong what would be an extremely laborious process with a negative, unfortunate result. Everyone also knew that I was looking to reduce my debt with the life insurance sales proceeds.

This entire process was not only unpolished, but it was also void of detailed attention with the end result in simply being cruel. And, may I add, cruel to a senior citizen on a very fixed, limited income during a very expensive time in our culture.

Thank you for allowing my opinion.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

That the information needed was to be detailed and reviewed

The person who phoned me with the "final" outcome was the coldest sounding person I have ever spoken with in all my years of interfacing with people.

Good decision and worth the time

By Glen J., Illinois, Verified Reviewer

Glad that we took the time to get comparative quotes and ultimately selected Coventry. Premiums had become a financial burden so entering into this settlement was the best option. Matt Glanzberg, the Coventry associate assigned, was tremendously helpful throughout the settlement process. He gave clear explanations, was patient in answering questions, always kept us informed on process status and he was receptive to our needs. It was a pleasure working with him.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Most competitive offer

Straight forward and transparent process

Helpful associate

Lots of paperwork, but that was necessary for legal purposes

Got what I wanted, many details make it worth the money

By Werner M., Chapel Hill, NC, Verified Reviewer

Instead of just stopping to pay the premium I checked what the policy is worth to Coventry. It was at the end worth to notarize on some documents and on several get my signature witnessed. It shows how serious Coventry takes their business. A little more cash besides ending to pay the ever-increasing premium was worth turning over the policy to a new owner.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

They negotiated the price they paid

The assigned counterpart individual was surprisingly personal

They kept me informed

Initially the time all the reviews by Coventry it took

All by phone, nothing in person, only remote

By Diane G., Las Vegas, NV, Verified Reviewer

By Neil R., Minneapolis, MN, Verified Reviewer

I worked with Peter Hirshon on selling my term life policy. He was professional and explained each step in a very simple, easy to understand manner, and is a great guy. Peter was also very prompt and kept the process moving and was always available for me when I had questions. I am perfectly satisfied and would highly recommend Coventry and especially Peter Hirshon.

Top notch!

By Chet O., Palmyra, VA, Verified Reviewer

We sold our Life Insurance policy to you and Drew Acker was my contact. He was tremendous! We would have been lost without him!

He walked us 100% thru the process. Very friendly and was there whenever I needed him.

Dynamite personality as well.

I wish that every other company I called had the customer service he provided! All my best to Drew and Coventry. Merry Christmas!

Transfer worked well

By Max Amichai H., Hillsboro Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer

Bill excelled at a number of points in the process:

1. He explained the overall process well.

2. He communicated and kept us informed at every step.

3. Bill was able to put together a competitive package that met our needs.

4. He built a trust level that we felt represented Coventry as an ethical and safe organization for us to deal with.

5. When things did not go as planned with other companies, he would get on the phone to the other organization and get the information we needed.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Such a great experience!

By Veronica L., Colorado Springs, CO, Verified Reviewer

From the first time I spoke with Dan Glod, he was completely honest about the process and what to expect. He set up a timeline for communication and stuck with it. He was extremely thorough and I appreciated all the transparency. I was a bit nervous and skeptical going into this sale, because you never know which companies are really honest. Coventry is on point - fully transparent from the start! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. Thank you for an honest settlement to help me get through this time of unexpected life issues and expenses.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sale of policy, worked with Peyton Marcus

By Harlan M., South Portland, ME, Verified Reviewer

My experience working with Coventry was nothing short of excellent. The assigned point person was Peyton Marcus. We had some issues, but you see a person's real value when things don’t go perfectly well.

Peyton was very professional in representing your firm. We had numerous calls with not only the supplier of the policy but the family members involved, and items were handled very well.

I would recommend Peyton to any of your clients.

Thank you.

Excellent experience!

By Paul C., Bellefontaine, OH, Verified Reviewer

It started with a phone call from me to Coventry. William Perry called me back within an hour and explained the whole process. He was very understanding with my questions which at times I'm sure he thought "What...", however, he never commented and was always professional. I'm in Project Management so I pressed hard for the best deal that I could get and I truly believe he went to bat for me. The paperwork was somewhat daunting and Mr. Perry went through the forms until they were understood. My insurance company was somewhat picky about having original signatures on the forms or they would not recognize the changes. Again, Mr. Perry was patient and helped me.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Easy to work with Coventry

Always available to answer questions

Efficient

Took a while for the whole process

Mr. Patrick

By Wilma R., Hayward, CA, Verified Reviewer

Hello,

I would like to thank Mr. Patrick for working with me since March of this year. Had a little difficult getting my loan lower. Mr. Patrick advised me to wait for a couple of months and we will try again.

Mr. Patrick was very patient with me and walked me through each process.

Very intelligent and hard-working man.

I will give him a thumbs up.

Great service

By Bernard D., Coconut Creek, FL, Verified Reviewer

Payton was a true pleasure to work with. He was a great one for paying attention to detail and holding my hand until we got things settled. He was professional and pleasant to work with and I would recommend them to anyone in the future. The overall system like any big system is a little tedious but Peyton held my hand to the whole thing and I got my check yesterday and I'm very pleased with the entire process.

Selling my term life insurance

By Mitch S., Sammamish, WA, Verified Reviewer

Peter Hershon was from start to fruition during a very tough time available and informative. He understood my anxieties and concerns throughout the process.

Coventry Direct customer support

By William M., Hilton Head Island, SC, Verified Reviewer

Quite frankly, I hesitated to begin this process, mostly because I didn't understand what was involved. Greg Knight, my Coventry Direct Customer Representative, clearly explained the process and sought to understand my needs and expectations before beginning. Having gone through this experience, I would recommend Coventry Direct and particularly, Greg Knight, to anyone with a life insurance policy that is no longer a necessity. Time well spent and a reasonable return for my policy.
