I have been staying in Bahrain for almost 17 years. I have taken a Loyola Educational Plan last 8 years ago. I have given them the post dated cheques as the full payment of the educational plan for my daughter, which I thought the best way to get rid of the hassles of monthly remittance surcharge. Since then I have not heard from LPCI (Loyola Plans Consolidated Inc.) and I have been thinking that all I have to do is to wait for the maturity date for availment.

The time has come when I have asked Loyola Plans Consolidated Inc. for my full payment certificate and availment. They have informed me that I have been a delinquent payer and my educational plan was permanently cancelled. After several investigations, I have found out that one cheque was not encashed by LPCI which made my educational plan lapsed for several years. After paying more than P100, 000 Pesos, my educational plan has been permanently cancelled due to the missing cheque of 13, 000 Pesos.

Although the fault is from their negligence in handling the payment, they should have informed me through my address, telephone no and e-mail address. However, they have just kept quiet and let my educational plan lapsed. And up to now, I have difficulty in retrieving what I have paid as pre-need for my daughter’s educational assistance simply because I am in Bahrain. They have ignored my request to pay the missing 13, 000 Pesos to avail the P300, 000 Pesos educational assistance for my daughter and no action has been taken till now.

I am looking for several ways to raise this complain up to the higher management of LPCI and help me to avail the educational assistance for my daughter.

Same here, I visited your office at 4/F Cebu Holding Center Business Park last May 2014, the staff Lily and Lynette accommodated me, I came home to complete all requirements for the Educational plan I purchased that will mature in June 2014. I was told that the first cheque of P75, 000.00 will be ready in a couple of months but until now (which is already April 2015), I haven't received yet the first payment.
I purchase this plan thinking that it will help my niece to go to college, but what a BIG disappointment!
My sister who lives in Negros Oriental, who is the one in-charge to follow-up the cheque keeps on calling the three (3) landline numbers of Loyola Cebu to no avail, NOBODY would pick up the calls, she went there personally a couple of times ONLY to be told that the cheque hasn't arrive yet. It is hard for me to follow-up since I live abroad.
What kind of a company is this, thinking it is owned and managed by a reputable Puyat clan?
Mr. Puyat, be kind enough to give back what you owed to us. That money was a hard-earned money! I paid my obligations before on time for 4 years, never had I lapsed or late with my remittance, but why are you treating me/us this way?
My sister told me that a lot of people are complaining to your office in person, to the extent of almost losing their patience, crying, but still, you never cared to do actions the right way!
I don't care what reasons you give me/us with the late payments, I don't care about the Money Laundering Act...it is your obligation to pay us back! Money is so hard these days, I work hard day and night to survive abroad, so PLEASE have a heart to pay us on time, afterall, that is my/our money.
I am thinking of seeking help from DTI if this problem won't be straightened out. I have friends from DTI I can seek help with if there is NO ACTIONS!
Thank you and hoping for a speedy result, GOD Bless!

This is an inquiry on educational plan of my son (Louie Phillip A. Divinagracia) which was fully paid. OR and CERTIFICATE is with me as proof and basis of complete payment done. It was noted in the contract that in the year in 2017 the educational plan will be used by this time for his tuition fee, however, I must report to your office six months before the classes starts. I have been paying the education plan until it was fully paid in Cagayan de Oro City since 2001 until 2006. Presently, I knew that Loyola office has been transferred to Davao City. Do I need to visit Davao City? Please provide complete address and advise soon.
Thank you so much,

I am also experiencing difficulty in getting the last tranche of benefit amounting to P25, 000 for my husband's LESI plan. It's useless trying to call as the numbers [protected] / 817-2452 / [protected]) are always busy or nobody answers when one finally got through. Try emailing the following with your complaints: (1) Nora Pacis email address: ncpacis@loyolaplans.com" (2) Nimfa Escartin email address: ngescartin@loyolaplans.com (3) Gina Ibarreta email address: gaibarreta@loyolaplans.com and lastly (4) Insurance commission email address: pubassist@insurance.gov.ph

I have already fully paid the educational plan of my son for 5 years in which the contract date is April 13, 2005. My son is now a First Year College. I have processed papers for the 1st release of the check which is 25, 000.00 last May 2014 but sad to note that until this time-its already 2nd semester, I haven't received any form Loyola.

Please I need a reply and the money for my son's tuition fee.

Hello.
I have completed my payment long time ago and had been receiving cheques before but this year is totally different... my cheque was supposedly due last August 2014 and until now wala pang balita. My sister is constantly in touch with these people but no clear answer to when they will release it. They said to follow up in Toledo City, Cebu and back and forth in Cebu Business Park.
Please pinaghirapan din naming makabayad so it is our turn. Please give it to us on time Para walang maabala.

We're also experiencing the same problem with Loyola Educational Plans. First, they did not inform me that my son's plan had already matured 3 years ago. Secondly, they have not been depositing the money in my account. I have inquired on how to take action against Loyola Plan and I learned that we can file a complaint to the Insurance Commission. Here is the link---http://www.insurance.gov.ph/.

Hi Loyola Plans Cebu,

I visited your office at 4/F Cebu Holding Center Cebu Business Park last first week of March 2014 to claim my Educational Plan for my daughter. One of your Staff, Mr. Chris Lumapat, told me to fill up an Updating Form to update my existing record from your database. At first, I told him that I did not change anything from my current status so there was no need to update. He then told me that I cannot get my Cheque if I do not follow the Updating process which would require 35 working days to complete. I then told him that why did you not make an announcement to all your plan-holders in advance that you are going to update our records? Is this a delaying tactic? I ask myself, what kind of updating is this when if they had an application tool from their website, it would only take few minutes to update online. He then told me that after 35 working days, I would received a confirmation from Loyola that an updating is done and my cheque would be delivered subsequently. I did receive a confirmation and made some follow ups from their phone numbers but all of it were so busy probably because I am not alone who are facing in this situation and that there are many out there who are the silent majority. I tried to text them and one of them responded that my Cheque has not yet arrive. What happen to the scheduling of Cheques? We had an agreement that you will deliver it every First Week of March. What is really happening inside? I supposed to use my Cheque for the enrollment of my daughter for this school year but so sad that my trust towards your promises were deeply affected. May the Lord enlighten us all to tell the real truth behind this delays.

so to prevent this mess Loyola have to pay their clients for them to satisfy their needs as well as an assistance for educational plan... do not be the same as what happened to CAP Insurance.

The main reason why we avail of your Loyola Educational Plan is to support our children's education, that is, cheques should be available on time for their enrollment periods. We don't understand why should the release of these cheques be delayed for this coming school year [protected]? Your Makati office staff told us that the delay was due to something like about "money laundering". I can't find any connection or violation in the Republic Act No. 9160 and 10365 also known as Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 which states about the "35 days" that your office staff is telling us. Moreso, if this delay in your issuance of our cheques is REALLY RELATED to this 'Anti-Money Laundering Act', in which section of the said law was it covered and why did you not inform us ahead?

In our case, your Makati office staff told us that our cheques will be available on June 2, 2014. Said date is already school opening! We've tried so hard to get our kids' educational plan so that we wont worry anymore when enrollment time comes. But what is happening now? Where do we get money for their enrollment in May when it will be available still in June?

CAlling the attention of Mr. Christopher Puyat Concepcion? Can you PLEASE help us on this matter?

This is don from cebu city. As i read this thread, now i realize that this issue in loyola is very rampant cos we have exactly the same problems here. we paid in full and after all we haven't received a certificate of full payment just because of those stupid reasons. our receipts are intact as a proof that we are fully paid already for 5 years. but suddenly something went wrong they informed us that one cheque was missing for some reasons. the man incharged named Reggie kept on promising us that he is working on it until 8 years passed, nothing happend. we are supposed to claim my insurance for 100k last 2009 but all we got is this misery caused by this ### people embezzled the hard earned money by my parents. we feel unjustified for this. I hope somebody can help us out here.

My name is Annabelle Dabay, for 3 yrs of my sons' educ. availment had no issues but when Olongapo branch was closed I'm advised to open a Bank account either in BDO or BPI for the check bank transfer . So I open an account in BDO. When I called in Quezon city branch, i was instructed to fax all the requirements for money transfer but there's no response. I called back again. I was advised to open an account for BPI. I did not open, why do I need to re-open another account. I called up again, they told me to that the check is already sent back to Makati. I have have follow-up calls but always busy. I would like clear answer from Loyola Educ. Plan to get the last sem. check and for this coming semester. I would like to get the checks for the 2 semesters in one time . I'm looking forward that this matter will be given immediate action.
