Question
Can Hartford legally make me sign an Authoritization form to dislose all records of my private life?
Hartford sends me every year an Authorisation Form to disclose all records of my private life. It says on the form that I have the right to revoke this authorisation at any time. I have never signed this form as I have had trouble with identity fraud in the past. I do however provide to Hartford all relevant documentation that they need. Every year they try to badger me into signing this Disclosure. Can they legally make me?
Answer
Steve, Hartford can't "legally" make you sign the document, but you should be aware that failure to comply with requests for information from Hartford could lead them to investigate the claim or even deny the claim. The most important thing is that you provide the information required for Hartford to make a claim determination, which it appears you are doing. Additionally, you can cross out areas of the Authorisation you do not wish to grant access to. If you do so, please indicate that you are willing to provide information upon specific request.
