IVASS can impose sanctions, order remediation, and direct insurers to pay valid claims. Filing a complaint with IVASS is free and can be done online or by registered mail in Italian or English.
Italy's Codice del Consumo (Consumer Code) gives you additional rights as a consumer, including the right to fair contract terms. Unfair or ambiguous insurance clauses can be challenged and may be declared void.
For cross-border EU insurance disputes (e.g. insurer headquartered in another EU country), the FIN-NET network connects you to the appropriate national dispute resolution body — free of charge.
