Insurance Companies Add Unauthorized Persons to Policies Without Consent
Insurers unilaterally add individuals flagged as potential household members to policies, increasing premiums without customer consent or clear notification. Removing the unauthorized addition requires customer-initiated action and often involves lengthy verification. This exposes a gap in policy change transparency and consumer protection against insurer-initiated modifications.
