Over the last two years my Healthy Paws Insurance premiums have gone up a total of 81%, which has forced me to remove one of pets off of my policy to make it more affordable. One of my pets is a senior, like many of the posts I'm reading here, and he has a heart condition forcing us into daily medical management per his most recent Echocardiogram. Like most of us who are appalled at our premium increases as of late for our senior kiddos, I am proposing we all sign a Petition of Opposite which will require your Name, the state of residency and your current or cancelled policy number. I will be posting this on a few sites in hopes to round up all those who feel their pets and their pockets have been treated unfairly. If anyone would like to recommend the best way to go about collecting this information, please relay that in this post. Thank you for your time, a fellow pet parent!

I have been a State Farm policyholder for nearly 30 years. Last year, they warned me that my roof needed replacement, otherwise they would cancel my policy in September, 2025. I replaced the roof that summer and sent State Farm the evidence. I even have voicemails from State Farm acknowledging that I have replaced the roof and even suggesting I might be able to get a discount for the new roof's impact resistance. Today I received a letter that they would cancel the policy because I hadn't replaced the roof, just before the height of hurricane season for our area. Either incompetence or underhandedness on their part? I can't tell.

My ex and I have been separated since mid-2017, but his Meritrust credit card is still showing up on my credit report. I've worked hard these past few years to knock out the debt I created for myself as a dumb 20-something year old, but I cannot get rid of this debt. I myself never even used this card when we were together. I don't even know why he asked me to cosign in the first place, but of course I said yes because he was my husband at the time. He won't speak to me about it, and I've tried reaching out to his family, but nothing has changed. I've tried contacting Meritrust, but the only option they give me is to settle the debt myself and close the account. If anyone has any advice on how to proceed with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Wife got into an accident. She was stationary at an intersection. Other car turned into her. Our car 2013 Elantra suffered a cracked bumperl We took it to Maaco ..they estimated 2115 or so. Progressive accepted responsibility. Like a fool i verbally told them I would accept cash settlement, They sent me their estimate which was $915..yikes....havent received check yet.....do I have any recourse?

Got into a crash in the state of FL, parked in a parking spot and had to realign myself to be straight. The parking spots are aligned at a 45 degree angle. I reversed just enough that my rear wheels were visible, there was no vehicle next to me parked that could’ve potentially been blocking the vision of my vehicle, I was in the travel lane and as I was about to shift into drive, a vehicle driving westbound hit me in my rear-end and spun me around facing the opposite direction of travel, the whole back end of my vehicle is smashed in and not drive-able. It’s a 15mph travel zone and safe to say nobody drives 15mph through this spot. The damage of my vehicle definitely looks like more like 25-30mph. Cops talked to me and other driver but in the written statement wrote that I was reversing and then got hit which wasn’t true. Also said that it’s a no-fault state and so she could’ve written me a ticket. I’ve only had the car for barely a month and paid $3k for it, I have progressive insurance at the state-minimum required. After the crash my back and shoulder hurt. I just want to know what can I do, any help is really appreciated because I need a new car as soon as possible. Location: Florida

Got this chat request today from Healthy Paws. I don’t have a policy with them, I just comment when I see the insane premium hikes they’ve been doling out lately. Healthy Paws, folks are starting to ask questions about your rate sheets and what you publicly disclosed and what you actually charge consumers. I’m not an actuary, so I’m no expert, but it’s wild to me that any state would sign off on a 200% 500% or even 1000% increase. Maybe they did. But it is feeling a bit shady. You should publicly disclose your algorithm and show us! There are lots of people here who would love to see this information provided transparently. We all expect annual increases. It’s the name of the game. But we don’t expect to pay faithfully for years and towards the end of our pet’s life, have our premium jacked up so high as to be an insult. So unless you have some kind of reasoning for that…or a promise to fix it, it’s impossible to recommend you anymore on this sub by most people with brain and a conscience.

My husband and I are working through paying off our debt. I have a personal loan through OneMain we are wanting to pay off ASAP I got a payoff last week good through tomorrow, but then on Monday I called in and canceled the optional product of Credit Insurance and Disability Insurance. The issue is, the cancelation of those products applied to the overall balance that includes pre-calculated interest, but it did not come off of the payoff amount. I called customer service and they said the payoff amount is basically already assuming the cancelation of those optional products. Does that sound right?

So this may slightly be my fault but I need to vent and need options. I have had pets best for 2 years. My golden retriever blew her ACL and I took her to a surgeon and they confirmed it. The entire process took 5 months. I called pets best to see how to proceed, they said to pay the bill and then send everything to them. So I did. They just came back and said that they will not reimburse me because I don’t wait 6 months to have the surgery. WTF!!! and why would you not tell me when I called to ask how to proceed?!? Am I just out of luck? Or do you think that this is worth fighting? I am out $7k now. This is why I had pet insurance in the first place!!!

I’ve never had to worry about health insurance before, so I have not learned any of the insurance lingo or terms. I’m in a very specific, very tricky situation. I was in an accident 2 years ago that I am still recovering from. I have a plastic surgery that I still need done to complete the recovery. At the same time, I am being kicked off of my parents insurance. Is there a reputable insurer that young adults generally use? My parents suggested AmBetter, but their reviews are really poor and lots of reviews say they deny coverage for surgeries. I’m willing to pay a premium if it means I can get better care throughout my recovery. I still need physical therapy and a permanent shoe-lift made. I’m hoping to find insurance that will cover me through all of this. I cannot get insurance through an employer, because I can’t hold any serious jobs that offer insurance while I am going through recovery. Any tips are appreciated, thank you in advance!

Should I get lawyers involved? In January 2025, I received a letter from my insurance company stating that my policy had been cancelled due to non-payment and that I now owe a balance. However, this was the first and only communication I received—prior to that, I had no notice that a cancellation was even being considered. Here’s what happened: In late 2024 or early 2025, it appears that one or two scheduled payments did not go through because my credit card had been temporarily locked by my bank due to a fraud alert. As soon as I became aware of the issue, I immediately made the payment manually and settled any outstanding amount. I reviewed my billing history and confirmed that no payments were missed beyond that short disruption—and everything was brought up to date right away. The insurer claims they sent me a letter stating that I needed to pay the full yearly premium in order to maintain my policy. I never received this letter. This communication would have been sent during or shortly after the Canada Post strike (November 15 to December 17, 2024), which caused widespread mail delays well into January. It’s highly likely the letter was delayed or never arrived at all. Again, the only letter I ever received was the final notice informing me of the cancellation and that I now owe a balance. By that point, I had no opportunity to take corrective action. I believe the insurer failed to adequately notify me of their intent to cancel my policy, especially considering the known disruption in mail services and the fact that I had already taken steps to correct the payment issue. This situation has now affected my insurance record and left me scrambling to secure new coverage at a higher cost. They sent it the underwriter and denied my claim what should I do?
