Hi ,
Use this complaint to add to the case against AMTRUST.
This is a GAP insurance policy claim incident,STILL ONGOING.
The useless con merchants are still dragging out my insurance claim after two months of slowing down the process,they seem to be hoping I will give up and forget the claim as it becomes too much hard work to chase up.
Even though I have co-operated with them at all times they have`not` recieved e-mails,I did send them on numerous occasions.They have `lost`essential information!!!!which was sent by recorded delivery and eventually sent the cheque,too the WRONG ADDRESS!!!!!!,even though all other correspondence was sent to the correct house.
They now, after so calling it `just a typo error`have cancelled my cheque and this will take two weeks as their bank takes this long to unprocess it ,then they will re-issue another cheque to the correct address.This will take another 3-4 days to arrive by post and then 5 days for the cheque to clear.They have no other means of payment,although I am sure that if they require payment from me,they could take payment over the phone.
Managers ….,when I request to speak to them are not available,or not in the office until this afternoon`can i get him to contact you` is their response.
Amtrust cannot tell me which bank that the cheque has been issued from but can give me the cheque number and the amount it was made out for.
As I was informed two weeks ago,the cheque had been issued.I put a deposit on another vehicle with the intention of paying in full on clearance of the funds from `THE CHEQUE`.
I cannot work without my vehicle as public transport does not operate as early as my start times,therefore I have missed several days at work resulting in loss of monies and missed mortgage payments.The snowball effect of `just a typo error`.

MESSAGE TO THE HARD WORKING GENERAL PUBLIC. `DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE,DO NOT TAKE OUT ANY KIND OF POLICY WITH THESE PEOPLE AS THEY DRAG OUT EVERYTHING,I PRESUME THAT AMTRUST HOPE YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE UP AND THEREFORE DO NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS!!!!!!

I have informed the INSURANCE OMBUDSMAN about the situation and have also started the complaints procedure in writing.The ombudsman has forwarded a letter of complaint to the AMTRUST HEAD OFFICE.
My next step is to now inform the newspapers with the intention of warning other people about the poor service,or lack of it that is provided by UNTRUST,sorry AMTRUST.

Thought you’d like to know about my troubles with AmTrust. I contacted the O.T.S. in 2006 and they were helpful - to a point, but I recently contacted them and it was a total waste of time.
Good luck.

AMTRUST BANK HAS STOLEN MY MOTHER’S ACCOUNTS

Seniors, Beware! When you designate a beneficiary for your assets, the bank might find legal ways to circumvent your designations and confiscate your funds!
It happened to Gary Slusher, whose mother had $47K deposited with AmTrust .
Two months before Toby Slusher passed away, she made Gary the sole beneficiary on her accounts.
However, Gary’s vindictive sister fraudulently used an expired Power of Attorney to steal the funds – a clear-cut violation of federal bank fraud law.
AmTrust was quite reluctant to investigate the situation, and only did so when ordered by a government agency The Office of Thrift Supervision. They were able to recoup most of the money from the sister’s account.
At that point, the right thing to do would have been to #1) return the funds to their rightful owner and #2) prosecute the sister for her fraudulent actions.
However, AmTrust did not do either of these things. Why? If they simply returned the funds to Gary – specified as the sole beneficiary – there would have been nothing in it for them. Corporate entities always follow the path of financial expediency and greed.
So, instead, AmTrust, in order to recoup all costs involved in their investigation, asked the court to determine who the rightful owner is. This was totally improper, and truly unjustified. After all, a 5-year old could determine who the rightful owner is! However, if successful, AmTrust would be 100% compensated for all “their time, trouble and legal fees.” And money is always the bottom line!
For two years, AmTrust has stolen the money that Gary’s mother left him in good faith. The legal definition of “steal” is - the wrongful or willful taking of money or property belonging to someone else with intent to deprive the owner of its use or benefit either temporarily or permanently. Amtrust’s actions certainly meet these criteria! They have thrown up every possible smokescreen to try to keep Gary from his rightful inheritance and have forced him to run up exorbitant legal fees that are almost equal to the amounts in the accounts! A totally absurd situation – one that has been sanctioned and approved by the president of AmTrust, Robert Goldberg. When contacted by Gary Slusher, Robert Goldberg would not reply!
So, if you’re thinking your assets would be conveyed in accordance with your instructions, think again! Toby Slusher thought she was leaving her funds to her son and trusted AmTrust to make sure he gets the money. But, they certainly did not fulfill their contractual obligations to her. Any ethical person would think that AmTrust would be totally embarrassed by their unconscionable behavior. But then again, corporations never are!

Your first mistake was dealing with AmTrust Bank on any level.
Your second mistake will be filing a complaint with the Office of Thrift Supervision.
The only real help that coould receive would be an elected congressman from your area were you reside.
Government regulatory institutions are not there to protect you, that is a myth. You will spend time and effort and get absolutely nothing. These institutions are designed by the wealthy and powerful,by Congress and Banks. These Regulators only protect the Banks. You as a consumer mean nothing. Do the Reserach.
This is America for the wealthy. The rest of us are here to support
the Wealthy. Am I lying- absolutely not. After you go through all the pushups you will agree with me. Get an attorney and do the legal dance. That is where your attorney and the banks attorney
dance in front of the court(the Band) until you run out of money.
Been there done that,save time move to Canada.

You see? You can flee to parts unknown, surfing at the end of the world, but you still cannot escape the modern nightmare of financial woe.

Seriously, that sucks man. Would it help if I mailed them a photo of my butt?

No?

What if I got Manny to do it? You know he would (if he hasn’t already).
