What is the name of your state? Indiana
My husband got a personal loan through a bank in Oct. 2001 before we were married so I'm not on the loan. He used a car for collateral. (note the car no longer works but we still have it). In June of 2002 he had a diving accident in which he broke his neck in five places. We IMMEDIATELY contacted the bank to find out for sure about his disability insurance. Finially they got it straightened out and since then we receive a paper from the insurance company every 30 days to fill out. For the first several months we had to have a doctor sign also. He had three doctors, a neurosurgeon, a rehab doctor and a family doctor. The only one that would sign the paper was the neurosurgeon but even the last time he was reluctant because my husband was technically no longer a patient of his for he had released him. For the last several months we haven't had to fill out the doctor portion. However, this month they want it again. The only doctor he now has is his family doctor who only does blood work quarterly and who fills his meds when needed. He started receiving SSD in May. The insurance company says they WILL NOT take a copy of his SSD papers to prove he's disabled and will ONLY take a lisenced professional to sign them. If none of his doctors can or will what can we do? The family doctor stated before he wouldn't because he came into the situation way after the fact. If the Federal Government has declared him disabled how can the insurance company not accept that? Can we then sue the insurance company to get it paid? The bank is continually harrassing us about it and sending us papers that the loan is late when in fact we have all the paperwork in on time and the insurance company says it's paid. What can we do?
Sorry this is so long.... TIA
