The Way they Work

sent in by  Fidelity Wife

Dirty Tricks Manual Fidelity Life Case Manager guidelines ( part one )

1. Make the liability customer feel at ease. Their claim has been accepted because due to the overwhelming medical evidence from their own doctors there is no way that we (Fidelity Life) can weasel out of it, the medical evidence supports their claim.

2. Arrange for the first monthly payment to be made and immediately go to phase one of the undermine and destroy your liability’s customers self esteem

Phase one: Send a private investigator to wait outside the liability’s customers house every morning. Do not concern yourself with blending in. You want the liability customer to know that they are under surveillance.

Phase two: Follow the liability customer whenever they leave their home. Have the PI follow them on foot into shops etc and stand there behind a newspaper looking like an actor from a bad 70′s T.V series. If the liability customer approaches and makes it clear that they know that they are being followed, instruct the PI to immediately scurry back to their car and then initiate phase three.

Phase three: At every meeting with the liability customer mention how poor insurance companies have to protect themselves from lying cheating liabilities customers but then assure the liability customer that you are sure that they are in fact ill as that is what their doctor reports state after all. However they must understand that the poor insurance company cannot let down their guard even for a second, and that if anything, no matter how small, changes for them they must immediately inform the company as otherwise the consequences will be dire as they will assume the worst.

Phase four: By now the liability customer is scared well aware of the consequences and will inform you when they leave the home and what they do during the day. Once you have established that they are leaving the home most days and have some kind of routine established total how many hours they are spending out of the home. Do not worry if this time is spent at the gym, hanging out with a friend or going for lunch, it all helps with Phase five.

Phase five: This part is fun important and will reward the hard work you have put in thus far. It tunes up makes it clear
to the liability customer that Fidelity Life is not a company to be trifled with. With no warning cut the payment in half. Say that they have established that they can work because they are spending x hours away from home. Explain that X hours subtracted from the monthly amount equals 50%.

Phase six: When the liability customer points out that they are not in fact working or earning for that period of time and that the policy does not reduce until they ACTUALLY have a job make sure that you say nothing and just wait. The goal here is to starve encourage the liability customer so that they will be more attentive to job seeking despite it being clear that they are fucked in the head suffering a mental illness. Once they get a job you can then say if you have a job you must be 100% well, if you are well then you no longer are covered by the policy.

Phase seven: If phase six fails after 3 months reinstate the policy and backdate the missed payments. Apologise and explain that as some liabilities customers are liars you have been forced to test them to see if they are being honest. Ignore any mention they make of Doctors regular reports that state that they are ill. Specifically call them in to the Fidelity Life Offices and explain to the liability customer that it would really be better if they went and got ECT. The short sharp shock will be better for them in the long run. If they react or tell anyone about this just deny it happened, they are loony tunes mentally ill anyway and no one will believe them.

Phase eight: Patience is your friend here. After the tune up education programme the liability customer will be suspicious watching our every move. Wait another year then repeat phases five through seven.

Phase nine: It is now clear that the liability customer isn’t getting the message getting well, we must move now to slashing minimising Fidelity Life’s exposure to the liability customer. implement Phases 5 through s7 except this time make it 100%, and dig in for the long haul. Constantly explain delays in response as “waiting for the re-insurer”. The liability customer will eventually give up suicide seek better cover elsewhere.

Ok I've had enough

I said the gloves were off. I said that it would come. I never back down on my promises. This is the start and it isn’t going to end anytime soon.

Barry was in a squad of seven non-firefighters who completed the annual Firefighters Sky Tower Challenge, all in the name of raising money for the Leukaemia and Blood Foundation

The group, made up of Barry, Leukaemia and Blood Foundation chief executive Prue Etcheverry, Sky City chief information officer Mike Clarke, Auckland Airport chief information officer Tony Gollin, Fidelity Life chief executive Milton Jennings and Dave Howard – a man who won a competition on Trade Me for the chance to compete in the challenge, was the third squad to race up the building.

That is so nice for Fidelity Life‘s Chief Executive to do that, oh how sweet. Of course he is all smiles and waves for the charity but in the background, the company that he runs has made my life a living hell. This of course will all play out in court, and it will all play out very publicly because, well because I can and will.

With just three days till I have to sell the house my will to resist biting has gone, might patience, and some would say I have been very patient is at an end. From this day forward through Social Media, through Television and through any medium I can use I will tell my story along with anyone else’s stories of how insurance companies like Fidelity Life, but Fidelity Life in particular like to take a risk but don’t like to honour contracts, pay out on those risks and generally fuck with peoples lives.

This post is now an open invitation for anyone who has ever had a problem with Fidelity Life, their claims people, the doctors in their pay like Anthony Asteraidis, Prof Des Gorman and Ralf Schnabel to let me know your story and I will bring it to the public’s attention.

I will blog on how they wear you down, how they make shit up as they go along and how they obfuscate in order to get you to bend to their will. I will explain how the whole insurance industry use a select few doctors to get what they want and keep their patients medicated in the mistaken belief that they are cured.

Very soon when you google Fidelity Life it will not be their website at the top of the search, it will be mine and the special category I am going to create just for them. The hurt is immense and this hurt has to go because my life is hell. The ONLY way I know to deal with it is via my blog and my writing.

There isn’t much I am good at but this kind of thing I am very, very good at. I will just have to do what I am good at.

Nice commenter – Ian McLauchlan of C.C.D.H.B. – Mental Health

There was a comment just posted on my sterilisation post under the pseudonym ticfan67;

You don’t think you’re guilty of double standards? You bitch and moan about the”nanny state” telling people not to use cellphones while driving or that kids shouldn’t get to drive till they’re 16 but then seem to feel it’s OK for the same Govt to make a call on who gets to breed or not! Compulsory sterilisation was wrong when hitler did it, wrong when the US did it , wrong when India and China did it and it was wrong when the NZ govt did it in the past. Do you think mentally ill people are fit parents? If not have you been sterilised? “Judge not lest ye be judged”

The problem ticfan67 has is that he is Ian McLauchlan of the Capital & Coast DHB, you see the fool used his own email address (ian.mclauchlan@ccdhb.org.nz) and his ip address that he posted from resolves to CCDHB.

Big deal? you say. Well, Ian McLauchlan was a New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses appointee under the Labour Government on the Taser assessment advisory team.

Ian, of course like all crim cuddlers obfuscates about my position. I never advocated compulsory sterilisation. Also your comment about mentally ill parents is just a spiteful slight at me. The people who abuse their children aren’t mentally ill, they are just fuckwits and should be treated accordingly. They are beyond redemption especially when they have killed more than once. The fact that you try to play on my mental health issues when you are in fact a Mental Health Nurse says a great deal more about you than it does about me. At least I have an excuse for my behaviour, what’s yours?

You fuck with me at your peril. As a mental health nurse advising the government I would have thought you would have known better than to make stupid comments under your real email address. Hope you enjoy your new fame.

UPDATE: I wonder what Ian McLauchlan, Mental Health Nurse of Capital & Coast DHB thinks about his own department’s description of services. I wouldn’t think mocking people with mental health issues was one of their more well known services. Is this some sort of new advanced therapy?
