Our Commitment

If you have a concern or complaint regarding your policy or claim, we want to hear from you. At Halwell Mutual, we strive for first class service, but from time to time there is a situation that occurs where we fail to meet our policyholders’ expectations. In response to this we encourage you to follow the steps below and we are confident we can reach a resolution.

Contact Your Broker

We recommend as the first step that you contact your broker, the person you purchased your insurance policy from. Your broker is an independent insurance professional who works for you, not the insurance company. Most often your broker will be able to provide clarification to alleviate your concerns. If they are unable to resolve your complaint, they will be able to direct you to the representative at our company who can best look into your concern.

Contact a Halwell Mutual Representative

If your broker is unable to resolve your complaint and has recommended you speak to a representative at our company, that individual will investigate your concern and try to provide further clarification to address the specifics of your complaint.

If your preference is to reach out by telephone, the Halwell team is available at 519-836-2860 or toll-free: 1-800-267-5706.

Contact the Halwell Mutual Ombudsperson

If we still have not been able to address your concern and resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you should contact our Ombudsperson. The “Company Ombudsman/Liaison Representative” (as filed with FSRA) is Tom Seaman, President & CEO. Complaints may be directed to:

Ombudsperson – Tom Seaman

535 Hanlon Creek Blvd,

Guelph, ON N1C 0A1

Email: [email protected]

Telephone: 519-836-2860

Toll-Free: 1-800-267-5706

This Complaint Handling Protocol does not apply to any situation involving litigation by the policyholder against the company or where the policyholder has retained legal assistance in that regard.

What is a Reportable Complaint?

The initial expression of dissatisfaction by a consumer, whether in writing or otherwise, will not be considered a complaint where the issue is settled in the ordinary course of business. However, in the event the consumer remains dissatisfied and such dissatisfaction is referred to the person who is responsible for the examination of complaints and designated as the Ombudsperson in the organization’s policy, then it will be considered as a complaint.
