Commissioner Stephen W. Robertson issued the order Friday against Assurance Protection Group. The company has been barred from selling, soliciting, and negotiating insurance in Indiana without a license, according to Jenifer Groth, director of communication and outreach.
The company does not hold a certificate of authority, producer’s license or any other authorization from the department to engage in the insurance business in Indiana, according to the department.
A complaint was recently filed with the department against APG by an Indiana consumer who alleged to have purchased automobile insurance from the company.
The consumer had found a number to call through an internet search for low automobile insurance rates.
When called, the consumer was referred to the Assurance Protection Group to purchase an insurance policy. When a loss was subsequently suffered due to a collision and the consumer attempted to make an insurance claim, the company was found to be unreachable and the policy fraudulent.
