UPDATED 3.01PM: Some fighting Tower Insurance years after the Christchurch earthquakes have taken on the battle from their elderly parents.

They're sick of the insurance giant's treatment, with many claiming the company's just stringing out the claims process in the hope their clients will die.

Elderly residents protested outside the Insurance headquarters today.

But some were in place of their parents who are now too scared to say anything.

Among them was Peter Lee, who like many waving a placard, is now caught up in the situation.

"My parents have been with Tower for forty five years. I came back from Australia to look after my mother and she died a couple of years ago, and they've just been very difficult to deal with," he says.
