Progressive offered me $750 for diminished value based on costs they incurred for the claim. They did not even consider the actual cash value of the vehicle. For context, this is in Texas and the claim was made on the other parties insurance and I was found at no fault. The car is a brand new BMW M2 and the total repairs estimated around $4-$5k including labor. There’s definitely more than $750 of diminished value since this is a performance car and now has an incident on the car fax. According to the representative, they are not willing to offer more even if I get an estimate of the actual cash value. Do I have any options outside of just accepting what I was given?

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.

On July 24, I was involved in an accident in Houston, where the other car suddenly changed lanes on the highway and caused an accident. I called the police and the other driver accepted his fault. Police has made a incident report and seems like full report takes some time to come. We both had geico insurance. Police made the incident report and gave me the details of the other person's details, insurance policy and all but did ask me for anything. Now, when I call geico, they say that they have not yet gotten the other person's statement. I don't know what my options are. They also did not respond to my rental car issue and i had to get it myself. I missed couple of day of work as well due to the body pain. What should I do?

I recently had to have an in-patient EEG. The neurologist said they'd call my insurance (Aetna) for pre-approval before moving forward with booking. I received a call saying that it was completely covered and to move forward with procedure. I check-in with no mention of payment and checked-out with no mention of payment. Cut to now about a month later and I receive a bill for $7,000. Apparently, insurance only offered partial coverage though I was told by my provider it will be completely covered. Do I have any recourse in this?

HI, guys! I never posted on Reddit, need your advice badly...A few years ago I signed up with Merrill Edge IRA, because I was with Bank of America. They were very pursvasive how great it is to have 401K with them. I rolled over some 401K money from my previous jobs, opned account. In the beginning I was contributing certain amount per month automatically, then started to get calls about needing to login, verufy my info ect. I called them last year and verified, my info is correct (home address and work address). I was filing taxes this year and tax person asked me if I contributed to my personal IRA, because it would help with my return. I decided to verify with Merrill Edge, loged in to my account and the nightmare started. I found out YESTERDAY they CLOSED my account back in January this year (no notification received), and issued a check with all my savings also hit me with early withdraw fine. They send check to my WORK instead of home address (???). Mind you my work is a large hospital, and address was provided as a generic, not addressed to accounting, HR, or specific person. When I called Merrill Edge, they first said they will cancel the payment on this check and will issue another. Next phone called I was told by Merrill my check was "cashed" at PNC bank (I have no account there), on certain date in March this year. By WHO???? My guess would be someone opened a letter from them at my work, saw the check and somehow chased/deposited it. But how this person could do this without ID? I dont even know what particular branch of PNC it was cashed, and PNC doesnt want to talk to me. I am shocked...It was substantial amount of money, I dont even know what to begin with. Lawer? Police? Pls help with advise!!

Location: Washington State I’m dealing with a housing situation that has gotten increasingly serious, and I could use advice on whether I have a legal case and what my next steps should be. I don’t qualify for free legal aid, but I also can’t afford to hire a lawyer outright. I’ve already spoken with the Tenants Union of Washington State, who suggested I update my complaint with the city’s code enforcement office on Monday because the situation has escalated significantly since I first reported it. They also mentioned I might be entitled to compensation that my landlord isn’t disclosing (either intentionally or not). I’m wondering if I should wait to hear from code enforcement again or if I need to start pursuing legal representation now. My story begins at the start of the new year. On January 6, I submitted a service request because the floor in my entryway was visibly warped and I was having trouble closing my front door. On January 8, maintenance came out, removed the weather stripping from the bottom of the door, and marked the request as complete even though no inspection was done and the root issue wasn’t addressed. At that point, I figured I had at least documented the damage in case they tried to blame me later, but I had no idea how bad things were about to get. On March 26, I submitted another repair request because there was now visible water damage and possible mold along the baseboards next to my front door, along with the floorboards becoming even more warped. In my bathroom, there was a significant colony of black, furry mold that had grown between the wall and a small stepstool I had propped up against it. I had also noticed that there were "blisters" in the paint on the walls in the hallway leading up to my apartment where water had obviously started to pool. Maintenance showed up the next day, told me they would "call someone," and once again closed the ticket without fixing or really even looking at anything. On March 29, I went into the leasing office to speak with someone in person because I felt like the issue was not being addressed properly and I wanted some answers. I explained the problem to the leasing agent and he asked me to send him an email describing the issue (which I did) and that I should open yet another repair request for the issue (which I also did.) On April 1, the maintenance person showed up again. This time, he brought a pipe wrench and literally tried to hammer down the warped floorboards (no joke). Then he sprayed two sprays of mold inhibitor on the wall next to the front door “just in case.” That afternoon, I was told that a water restoration company would be out the next day to inspect the unit. The water restoration company came first thing on April 2, while I was still in bed. They found significant moisture behind the walls and suspected the presence of mold. The property manager came by a few minutes before noon, took photos, and informed me that my apartment was currently uninhabitable. He told me to file a claim with my renter’s insurance for a hotel. I work from home and was in the middle of my work day when he told me that the water restoration company would be arriving shortly to start dismantling my bathroom to start looking for the cause of the leak. I ended up making a claim with my renter's insurance (even though I believe property management is responsible for the cost of temporary housing) but without a statement of cause, my insurance wouldn't help me find a place to stay so I had to make arrangements on my own for myself and my dog. I'm currently staying in a hotel down the street from my apartment building that is being charged to my credit card. On April 3, the leasing manager called me to inform me that my apartment is unlivable and they have no timeline for repairs, so I have the option to either break my lease with no penalty or move into another unit (with them paying the moving costs). I asked him to send the offer via email because I needed a written record of the offer before I would even consider anything. He sent me an email the next day (April 4) briefly outlining my two options: either I transfer to another one-bedroom unit in the building at my current rental rate, or I break my lease with no penalties. That’s it. He didn't even include the offer to cover moving expenses to the new unit. I'm stuck in a frustrating situation with no real solutions. My renter's insurance isn’t covering my hotel costs because they won’t pay without a statement of cause, which I still don’t have. Even if they do cover it, I’ll still be out $250 because of my deductible. I expect the property management company to take responsibility for that since the damage was caused by their neglect. The options they’ve offered don’t even begin to address the full scope of the inconvenience and stress I’m dealing with. There’s no mention of covering the moving costs, or even offering rent relief for the time I’ve been displaced. Neither of these options account for the impact this situation has had on me and my dog. What should I be doing next? I’ve already filed a complaint with the city’s code enforcement office and plan to follow up on Monday, but I’m not sure if I should be waiting for them or moving ahead with other options, including legal advice. I know I can’t afford to hire a lawyer outright, but I also feel like I’m being jerked around by the property management company and my renter's insurance. Any advice on what steps I should take next?

Question about marketplace insurance vs. private. My husband and I are partners in our own business so we got on a family marketplace plan this year after much due diligence on my part to ensure our providers were in network. We found out the hard way that just because some hospitals in a health network are covered, doesn't mean all are covered. This was upsetting to us because having both worked for the large health networks around us, we know where you go for procedures matters. I did a search of all marketplace plans for the 2 hospitals we prefer and NONE are in network. I got an email recently from an insurance broker who quoted me a price for Anthem BCBS that is a few hundred dollars cheaper a month than our marketplace plan including subsidies. There is a small deductible that I don't have with the marketplace plan and some limits on how often we can utilize a service but this would be OK with me if we could go to the hospitals we prefer. I'm also worried the healthcare subsidies will go away next year so finding a cheaper plan puts me a bit at ease. Is there anything I need to be super aware of with private plans? I'm curious how a private plan could be cheaper than a marketplace plan which is what is making me wonder if it's too good to be true. Thanks for any insight you can give!

Does anyone have experience with this company? I don’t expect any claims but how are they in this area? I’ve had Foremost for several years but this renewal they screwed me with 3x increase. No claims. I’m in SoCal. Apparently another broker couldn’t find me a quote and my current broker has ignored several of my inquiries for options. I understand it’s tough to get affordable fire insurance in Cali. Arghhhh

So our car was stolen and our insurance (Progressive) gave us their vehicle valuation report. The base value is 33k and they deducted almost 12k since it's salvaged title (stolen recovery) so it ends up being almost 21k. My problem is that 3 out of the 5 comps in the report were also salvage title! So I sent them a letter saying based off of their formula they should realistically be giving me the average price of those 3 salvaged vehicles (ends up being 31k after adjustments) these are cars that are selling or have sold in my area. Instead they're double dipping using salvaged cars for comps and deducting the title history deduction on top of that. Now, they give me a call back saying they're firm on their number they can't move around numbers bla bla bla.. I don't get it? , realistically I wasn't expecting 31k I wanted to negotiate and meet somewhere in the middle and now they're telling me they're done.. to invoke my appraisal clause. Like are they serious? Based off of reddit I thought insurances went up a little and tried to negotiate somewhat. So am I stuck now? Should be worth hiring an appraiser right? Anyone go through a similar experience or have any advice?
