Your name, address, telephone number, email address,

WHO HANDLES YOUR COMPLAINT: Complaints and inquiries are handled by knowledgeable examiners in the Department’s Consumer Affairs Division, which is divided into three divisions:

Property/Casualty
Life/Annuity
Accident/Health

AFTER YOU FILE A COMPLAINT: The examiner assigned to the complaint will send you an acknowledgment that the complaint is under review. The acknowledgment letter will contain a File Number. Please keep a copy of the letter and the File Number so that if you need to contact the Department concerning your complaint you can refer to the letter with the examiner’s name and the File Number.

The examiner also sends a copy of the complaint to the insurance company and any other licensee involved to obtain their response. After a response is received from the company and/or other licensees, the examiner will determine how the complaint can best be resolved.
