Problem with an Servicing carrier
If there is a problem relating to rating, service, or a claim, the producer should contact the servicing carrier. When calling the servicing carrier, keep a record of the telephone calls specifying the date of the call, the name of the person contacted, and his or her response.
If, after following normal business procedures, a satisfactory response is not received from the servicing carrier, or if the servicing carrier has not performed in accordance with the standards established by the MJUA, then you may then submit a formal complaint to the company. Send a copy of your complaint to the MJUA office and include a copy of your file. The MJUA office can then get actively involved in resolving the problem.
