Hi, i received a letter from my insurance company saying that there will be a change of contribution due to age factor. They will increase it. Is this something that they can actually do? Its my fault that i didnt ask my agent last time on this matter but i did read last time that the contribution will be fix until the end of contract

I read my cert just now to re confirm but i could not find anything related to the change of contribution due to age factor. Anyone can help me on this?

investment link will less like to see the change in premium because they can offset the amount from the investment part.
normal non investment type premium will definitely increase with age.

Mine without investment as i put my investment in somewhere else. But i did read that the price will fix until certain age where the contract expired. Around 60 iirc.

This is why most of the insurance salesman who ask you to "buy insurance when young, its cheaper" is mainly marketing crap... buying when you're young and when you actually needs it (40s) u end up paying less when buying later

I should have known. This makes me want to change insurance plan to something more cheaper but cover the things i needed not something i wanted. The only thing makes me stay contribute coz i thought that the premium will never increase unless i upgrade my plan.

I thought its already factored into the premium? Isnt it during proposal time agent will show graphs like how much u can get back cash after 10 years and after 20 years and so on?
btw investment-linked..

sounds like your insurance company is starting to put you into the "exception" clauses. what plan did you signed up for?

i bought my so-called "insurance-investment" plan before i hit the age of 30 because the premium is generally lower and will not fluctuate as the premium paid is fixed for a tenure of 10 years. after 10 years then that's another issue.

I don't wanna state the actual plan as it will reveal my insurance company. But in general, its a medical plan. If i know this will happen, i would have change my plan long ago. The reason i stay coz i thought the premium will never change as agent always said "buy at young age will have cheap premium". Now suddet this make sense. Its not it will never change but i literally pay cheap previously when i first sign up.

Guess so. then they have rights to adjust the premium since its annually renewal, even if they stated no age limitation or guarantee renewalable.

I felt cheated now. They should told me last time and i should ask them too. Its my fault that i didnt ask about this last time. Now, i going to change my plan to something cheaper yet covers what i need instead of something i want. Something that cover 100k annually seems fine to me. Currently my plan cover 1.25m per year with no lifetime limit.

U can try look for other companies but they may not accept since your age is high already, even if accept too it would not be cheap.

I survey last time but i stop as i decide to continue with current plan. Now i will resume my search. U have any recommendations on which company i should go for?

Perhaps the plan you signed up for isn't the conventional type of medical plan - a different one that is exclusive only to the company?

I sort of know this because the medical plan that my friends, my parents-in-law and i have all are with fixed premium to be paid over a fixed tenure.

Have you called them up and checked what is actually going on?

Mine is takaful actually. I havent call them yet. I need to get the clear picture first before calling them and end up saying yes to everything. I dont have deep knowledge in insurance. They can easily cheat me again with simple explanation.
