My father had a capital one credit card that he got just for his personal use my mother was not on the account nor did she use the card. My father through capital one signed up with stonebridge insurance to cover this credit card should anything ever happen to him up to ten thousand dollars, he had about eighteen hundred dollars charged on it but on september 10 of 08 my father passed away, I sent capital one a death certificate and a copy of his statement showing where he had been paying for insurance to cover this card if anything happened to him, well my 79 year old mother, who just lost her husband of 52 years and is in very bad health herself got this little note from stonebridge informing her that they would not be paying this card off because the coverage was for a secondary cardholder. Now is it just me or is this the single most rediculous thing that weve ever heard. Not only rediculous but a scam against the elderly and just not right it should be if its not against the law to practise business in this manner. Not having a secondary cardholder certainly didnt stop stonebridge from charging my father nearly twenty dollars each month for this insurance, but its stopping them from doing the right thing and paying this card off. Noone would sign up for insurance that covered an imaginary individual. There never was a secondary cardholder the card was in my fathers name and he was the only one on it!!!
