Absolutely Terrible Experience with Assurant - Avoid Them at All Costs!
I recently dealt with Assurant, and I cannot express how utterly disappointed and frustrated I am with their abysmal customer service. My ordeal began when I needed a replacement phone, and it took a whopping ten days for Assurant to deliver it, turning what should have been a straightforward process into a never-ending nightmare.
First and foremost, their customer service representatives were a nightmare. It was as if they had no regard for the fact that I had been without a functioning phone for a week and a half. I was met with incompetence, indifference, and a complete lack of urgency on their part. Basic customer service etiquette was an alien concept to them.
But the horror didn't stop there. After receiving the replacement phone, I was slapped with a jaw-dropping $500+ "no return phone fee" on my T-Mobile bill, which Assurant was supposed to take care of after I returned the damaged device. Despite my return of the phone and multiple follow-ups, Assurant is forcing me to wait through not one but two billing cycles before removing this fee from my T-Mobile bill. This careless delay in resolving the issue cost me time, energy, and significant money.
I am appalled by Assurant's utter disregard for their customers' time and peace of mind. They prioritize their bureaucratic processes over the needs and satisfaction of the people they serve. It's astounding that a company with such a terrible customer service track record can operate in today's market or serve T-Mobile customers.
In conclusion, my experience with Assurant has been nothing short of a nightmare. I strongly advise anyone considering their services to think twice and explore other options. Their poor customer service, excessive delays, and lack of accountability make them a company I will never ever deal with again. Save yourself the frustration and anguish, and avoid Assurant at all costs.

WOW, I myself am currently experiencing the same issue as Laura10volleyball. I have been with T-Mobile 19 years and have never had any real issues as I am today having with their totally ABYSMAL insurance partner (ASSURANT). They are a real piece of work. I have taken up my issue with Consumer Affairs and will go further (Attorney) if I have to. I paid my deductible for a replacement phone (105.00 dollars) due to my long address I suppose it took 4 attempts for me to actually receive my replacement phone (3 where returned to sender via UPS) upon receipt of my phone (sat) I immediately returned my damaged phone (monday) as with their instructions - The enclosed packet and return label. Well this was done in the month of Oct, come 1 week before Christmas I get a T-Mobile bill also with a "no return phone fee", really. Once the mailman picks up the mail, I have nothing more to do with the item! However, I did spend allot of time and energy between the USPS and ASSURANT and still their customer service is saying I have to pay for the damaged non returned phone. I am a senior citizen and have exhausted all my energy and time as well. You are right and it should be made aware all over that ASSURANT has totally disregard for their customers time and peace of mind, especially for the elderly and longtime client of T-Mobile.
I would like to be a part of any legal action I am sick and tired of hearing about these scammers and T-Mobile continues to contract with them
