If this is legal it sure ain't ethical. I'm not often stunned by capitalism and greed but JFC. This is shameful. I feel so f'ed.

I was laid off effective 3/31. (Thanks, Trump and Musk.) I filled out the application with PENNIE on 3/31. Got approved and told I have 60 days to select a plan. I called PA/PENNIE then. I didn't have my COBRA info yet so couldn't make an informed decision. I just logged back on to PENNIE and while it still says "you have 52 days to choose a plan," the effective date is coming up as May 1st, not retro to April 1st (like how COBRA works). I've called and the rep is not well-informed. The last time I called, another rep said "yes you can choose later and it goes retroactive."

I just financed a truck about 3 weeks ago and the dealer approved me with a loan through Westlake financial, I didn’t know much about them but after searching them, people have negative reviews about them. Well now I’m thinking that if I refinance my car loan, would it still count as 1 hard inquiry since I’m still under the “checking best rates” Time frame. Or should I just wait a couple months and then refinance later

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'm thinking of changing my renter's insurance of 8 years Assurant (Actually did some research and did not hear good things about them) to bundle with USAA. My apartment company has an "insurance fee" as part of the lease which covers liability, so all I would need is coverage for property. Since liability is now part of the lease, I was thinking of dropping liability from renter's policy to save some money. Is there any reason why I should keep liability on my renter's policy that I can't think of?

Hey, I need some advice and help here, someone with a State Farm insurance hit my vehicle and we’ve been going through the process of the claim. She falsely accused me of hitting her and my insurance investigated and found me to not be liable. State Farm said that they’ll do the investigation and it’s been over two months and I still have not received word from them regarding their investigation outcome or about fixing my car. I’ve been calling the adjuster to get an update but they have been dodging my calls. The woman hit my car and it needs to be fixed, does anyone know what I can do at this point to get an answer from State Farm or just to get their attention so that my car can get fixed and this case can be closed. Also, do you think because I was not found liable by my insurance that it will affect my insurance, although I did not hit anyone or haven’t gotten into any accidents I’m curious to know if this claim will affect my auto insurance policy in anyway .

I recently signed a lease for a new apartment. I currently have AllState, however they don’t allow Landlords/businesses to be additionally insured under my policy. So what insurances do allow landlords to be additionally insured? NOT an additional interest. I can’t find any information on this! And every customer support/agent I talk to gets very confused.

Hello, I am hoping someone can provide a bit of guidance as I’m a bit confused as to how my most recent claim was handled. My Labrador has been on a fetch (formerly PetPlan) insurance policy since she was 12 weeks old. No issues with preexisting conditions and fetch covers a lot that some other insurances don’t when it comes to congenital issues. Recently she had to have TTA surgery to repair a torn knee ligament and we just got our reimbursement approved for the treatment I noticed I was about 100 dollars short in my reimbursement, but received no communication that they partially approved or denied any part of the claim. I went and checked and they coded the surgical anesthetic medications under “prescription medication” and allocated all medications used during the surgery as prescriptions, which was applied toward the 1,500 sublimit I have on my plan for prescriptions I have never seen this before and every single communication/review about fetch talks about how they covered surgeries in full and all that jazz, and it seems crazy to me that the anesthetic medications necessary for surgery would be coded the same as prescriptions and would prevent me from receiving a full reimbursement. Has anyone else experienced this with Fetch pet insurance? I’m just concerned because it is likely she will need her other knee done and if it happens within the year then this entire surgery would have killed the entire prescription sublimit I have on my policy (that was also never communicated to me in the time I spent on the phone with the customer service agent)

I applied for a comenity card through Forever21 (big mistake). I had a total debt of $300 dollars on that account. The customer representative took down the wrong address and name so I never received a physical credit card resulting in not being able to make the payment. I had to leave country for a month and I couldn’t receive any calls from comenity resulting in a 60 days late payment. My credit score plummeted from 715 to 533 (Feb 2024). I am trying to get my credit score up. Despite my $2000 spending every month on my Amex card, my credit score has gone up to 581. I moved to US in 2022 so I don’t have a long payment history. What are my options here? Should I contact comenity? Or should I try to contact Transunion? I’m worried that I will get not get an apartment now that my lease is coming to an end.

Hello, I have a few questions how to handle my PCP or Labcorp messing up with my insurance details. I had a bloodwork taken at my primary care and apparently they sent it to Labcorp. But Labcorp billed my insurance with the incorrect details apparently - my name and Member ID, group number are wrong. I got a mail in Feb asking for insurance details but the return address was not online on their website, so I thought it was phishing. I called the Billing department and asked them if they needed my insurance details, and they said "it is pending with insurance and there is nothing you have to do but wait". I don't have this call recorded. Today I got the invoice number and it says the below: "Reason for Bill: We attempted to file a claim with insurance. According to BLUES NJ: HORIZON BCBS, the patient name or subscriber number did not match their records. This balance is now the patient responsibility" I don't want this to impact my credit score but I don't want to pay $1000 since my PCP or they made mistake that I had nothing to do with. I will call them tomorrow morning but I have a few questions. 1. Since they dumped the responsibility on me, can I sort of force them to refile with insurance? What do I do if they refuse? 2. How long generally do I have to sort this out (not paying) so it doesn't impact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm just pretty pissed right now so apologies if I sound rude.
