Disgraceful service from Liberty Life and no ability to escalate

I'm a financial planner with a client who took out a Liberty Life policy 13 years ago. Each year we increase his cover to keep pace with his salary, as the cover is linked to his income. In August last year we started the annual review, and 7 months later this case is still wafting around the inner sanctum of Liberty - no-one takes ownership and no-one gives any feedback unless we call the call centre. The latest feedback is that more blood tests are required (the last bloods were done in January) and we just keep going around in circles. This is not a company that treats its clients or its advisors fairly - there is no method of escalation when things go wrong, and no-one in the call centre will help to get this finalised. His next salary increase is in April and then we need to start the process again!

It has been almost a week and still no movement on this case. Liberty have sent a very long list of outstanding requirements, most of them the forms completed and submitted last year in September, and the blood tests already done in February. No-one there seems to be able to view this abominable case from beginning to end. I have had a few emails promising action, but no-one taking any responsibility for getting to the bottom of the mess we are in.

Today is exactly one month since my Liberty complaint about poor client service, and after a month of over 40 emails and I don't know many phone calls I have been referred back to the call centre where this debacle began 9 months ago. I have dealt with over 20 people and not one of them has tried to get to the end of this - they each do their tiny bit (or say they have) and then pass me on to someone else. This culture of no accountability continues and my client is still being prejudiced. The saga continues and no-one at Liberty cares
