The Royal Commission Saga Continued: Fees for the Dead
In the opening volley of the Royal Commission, AMP was at the front of the pack when it came to dodgy dealings and misbehavior – but even after all that time in the spotlight at the start, AMP keeps making headlines.
There are only a few certain things in life – death, taxes and now apparently, AMP fees. After all the over-charging and fee for no-service scandals, news outlets reported that around 3000 people have been charged for life insurance premiums after they died.
The most likely knock-on effect of this is almost certainly one of the following:
- A person was sold life insurance and premiums were automatically deducted on their account after they died. In this case, the estate would at least be entitled to recover the premiums.
- A person was sold life insurance and premiums were deducted before they died, and the beneficiary could claim on the insurance policy.
