This is the Consumer Assistance Management System and Internal Redress Mechanism Policy of ST. PETER LIFE PLAN, INC. We commit to complying with applicable consumer protection and e-commerce laws and implementing a clear, effective, and responsive internal redress mechanism to promptly address and resolve consumer concerns, complaints and disputes.

CONTACT CHANNELS (FOR QUESTIONS / ASSISTANCE)

To help us handle your request quickly, please include your full name, contact number, email, Life Plan details (if applicable), invoice/transaction number, date of transaction and a clear description of the question, concern or feedback.

HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT

Customers and planholders may file complaints via any official channel listed above. When filing a complaint, give a detailed description and relevant transaction/reference details so we can investigate promptly.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

All complaints will be acknowledged within 24 hours. The initial response will confirm receipt and outline next steps in the resolution process.

CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPPORT PROCESS

Immediate Handling

Basic inquiries or clarifications will be resolved immediately by Customer Service where possible. All contacts will be logged for tracking.

Escalation

  1. Agent endorses the concern to the Team Leader for escalation.
  2. Team Leader escalates via email to the concerned branch/department head with details and requests verification/action.
  3. Branch/department head investigates and provides feedback to Customer Service and to their immediate superiors and key officers.
  4. Key officers and management approve or disapprove the recommended course of action.
  5. Customer Service relays the final decision to the complainant.

Depending on complexity, escalated matters should be resolved within 7–14 days from the date of escalation.

INVESTIGATION & RESOLUTION

Each complaint is reviewed and validated. Resolutions — depending on findings — may include one or more of the following:

  • Product/service refund
  • Changes in service
  • Clarification of terms or services
  • Repair, remedy or problem resolution
  • Other appropriate corrective actions

Resolutions will generally be provided within 7 to 14 days (or earlier) from acknowledgement, dependent on complexity.

CLOSURE & CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

After a resolution is provided, Customer Service will confirm with the customer whether the issue has been satisfactorily resolved. The complaint record, actions taken and final status will be documented. Customer Service may contact the customer to confirm resolution, close the complaint, and optionally request feedback.
