Kemper complaints

Kemper does not write enough business in the states we hold records for to be graded fairly. Small books produce complaint counts that are mostly chance, so the figures below are published without a letter rather than with a misleading one.

Kemper writes through 12 separate licensed companies. Regulators file complaints against each one individually; the figures here combine them, because that is what a customer of Kemper actually experiences. Every entity is listed at the bottom of this page.

How to file a complaint against Kemper

Complaints are filed with your state department of insurance, not with us and not with the company. It is free, it is handled by a regulator with authority over the insurer's licence, and a complaint the department confirms is exactly what produces the numbers on this page next year.
