B.C. regulators order insurance firm, payday lenders to stop ‘deceptive’ sales
– canadianbusiness.com
VANCOUVER _ An insurance company has been ordered to stop selling policies through two payday lenders and provide refunds after an investigation by British Columbia regulators.
The Financial Institutions Commission says it has issued a cease and desist order against Western Life Assurance Company to stop the sale of creditor group insurance through Venue Financial Ltd. and Cashco Financial Inc.
It says the payday lenders aggressively and deceptively sold Western Life’s insurance products and are prohibited from such sales involving any insurer in B.C. until the commission is satisfied their practices are conducted properly.
The commission, which partnered on an investigation with Consumer Protection BC, says legally required disclosures are not being made to consumers who aren’t told they’ve bought the insurance or that it’s a voluntary product.
The joint investigation also found consumers are not given enough information, or an opportunity, to make an informed decision about whether they want or need insurance that may be sold to people who aren’t eligible for coverage…

WATERLOO, Ont. _ BlackBerry (TSX:BB) is partnering with another company to offer customers a more comprehensive fleet-tracking system.
The Waterloo, Ont.-based company says it has entered a reselling partnership with Fleet Complete, a fleet-tracking solution company.
BlackBerry Radar general manager Philip Poulidis said during a press conference call that while Radar provides a wealth of information, operators also need to access performance and operation data, like driver behaviour and fuel levels.
Fleet Complete will integrate Radar into their tracking product, which the companies say will give customers the most holistic solution on the market.
Operators will be able to track vehicles and trailers’ load status, temperature, humidity and other data points on one map.
Fleet Complete CEO Tony Lourakis said the companies are first focusing on the North American market, and the product will soon be available through Fleet Complete’s U.S. channel carrier partner, AT&T, and Canadian partner, Telus…
