Cancelling Life Insurance Over The Phone

To cancel your life insurance over the phone:
- Call your insurer’s customer service department.
- Ask to speak with a representative.
- Provide them with your policy number and customer details
- Request immediate cancellation of your policy and monthly premiums
- You will receive a letter or confirmation email.
You might also want to ask if there are any early cancellation fees or whether you are eligible to any refund of premiums you might have already paid.
