Oxford Life Feedback, Reviews ?

So here is the recap on the whole B++ rating issue in regards to E+O insurance. My policy is with Marsh, via E+O for less.

XVI. EXCLUSIONS​
The Insurer shall not be liable to pay any Loss in connection with any Claim:

I​
. Insolvency

based upon, directly or indirectly arising out of, or in any way involving the insolvency,
receivership, conservatorship, liquidation, bankruptcy or inability to pay of a natural person,
entity, benefit plan, insurance company, managed health care organization, reinsurer, risk
retention group or captive (or any self insurance plan or trust by whatsoever name), or
limited partnership in which the​
Insured has placed business or obtained insurance
coverage, or placed or recommended placement of the funds of a
Client; however,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Insurer shall have the right and duty to defend the

Insured​
in any suit alleging acts described above, provided the Claim arises from the

Insured's​
placement of coverage with an admitted Insurer with an A.M. Best rating of "A-"

or better at the time of placement;


So... Basically it looks like if they went under for whatever reason, I could personally be sued for them not paying their claims. I know the chance is very remote, but it makes you wonder if that is worth the risk.

In that circumstance, why risk it? Prboably not worth it in the long ride
 
*Update*

One of their reps called me back and I asked about the E+O issue... They have an E+O company that they work with that will cover Oxford and any A- or better ranked company at $525/year...
 
Oxford is very bad in FORMS AND SUPPLIES.
In California they immediately tell you that you need another form for signature and force you to go back and get it. Other Insurance companies give enough fair warning and give a genorus time frma for agents to prepare and send those forms in advance.

Their compliance department even forced me to get a signature on California 24 HOUR FORM AND THEN LATER ...TOLD "OH..IT IS NOT REQUIRED".... I AM using them because of their low rates...as soon as I get a preferred FE which beats their price I will consider switching gear!

Grill them to make sure that you will be getting your supplies on time and any changes to the guidelines, that you have fair warning and time to assist your clients.

Good Luck WITH OXFORD!
