Okay so my cat is almost 2 yo and has no pre-existing conditions, has a primary vet, and is not spayed yet (Plan to, very soon!) I’m looking for a good insurance that covers wellness (mostly blood test and spaying cost?) for the first year and accident&illness for the following years. I have gotten some quotes and is eyeing Odie and MetLife for that, but every insurance seems to have bad reviews, or some would even call them scams. Please provide me some experiences/takes on the insurance you use for your cat, thanks in advance!! This could be really helpful for me ;)) P.S. the reason I want a wellness plan to cover spaying is because there’s no shelter/low cost spaying availability around me and I want to be consistent with my vet :,) my cat went into heat last week and I don’t want this to come back again so really wanna do it sooner.

Location: Oklahoma Long story kind of short, I was in a car accident on Oct.4th, and the other party was at fault. At the scene they acknowledged they were at fault and their insurance looked up to date. At the moment, I felt that calling the police for a report was not worth the hassle, a mistake I know now. While at the scene the driver was on the phone with their mother and told them they were on their phone at the time of the accident, which she later denies. Additionally the drivers mother wanted to speak to me on the phone and was very adamant not to go through insurance and that they wanted to pay out of pocket, which I refused, I didn't think much of this comment in the moment but is important later. I filed a claim with the insurance they provided and a few days later they told me they were not insured at the time of the accenet. My father reached out to the drivers father as he is the person on the title of the vehicle, and this is when we found out the drivers father is the Chief of Police for a small town bordering my city where the crash occurred which is in the same county. At this point we were given updated insurance from the driver and I made the claim with their insurance, which was denied as they were denying what happened at the crash. Some context to add to this is that this was a new driver and had their license for only about a month and were 16 and were heading to their first day of work at their new job. I filled with my insurance who sent it to arbitration, and it was radio silence for 4 months and they would not even return my calls, thanks Progressive. I called today and told them I need an update today, and the new rep I got was amazing and told me everything I needed to know and they should have told me months ago. Arbitration determined the other party was at fault, which was obvious from the damage, and they were not insured at the time of the crash. So it turns out they tried to buy insurance right after the crash and did not tell anyone. Progressive wants to send them to collections to get some of my deductible back, but I would like to get my full deductible and loss of value (at the minimum). So my question is is small claims court enough for the $2k deductible and $2k loss of value, and do I need a lawyer? I have already waited 6 months, and while if I need a Lawyer I want them to get paid, but I feel like I shouldn't have to pay legal fees for this especially due to the criminal behaviour on their part.

I bought my condo five years ago and have Homesite Insurance (according to my recent research, this is not good…). I just filed a claim with them about what my plumber suspects is a faulty toilet wax ring which has caused water damage in the condo unit below mine. Chances are my bathroom will be out of commission for a bit. My question is this: has any one had at least a neutral experience with Homesite? Any tips on how to make sure they do what they’re supposed to? I’m doing my part by brushing up on my insurance policy. Any advice on how to avoid delays is greatly appreciated! I guess I’m just looking for a little hope, lol. Thank you!

Hi, I recently adopted a 1 year old retriever mix and he was limping so we had to get him checked, turns out the doctor said while playing he might have hurt himself and he will recover in 2-3 months but now I was planning to get insurance from SPOT or ASPCA , they have specifically written knee and ligament conditions are pre existing forever so for example if my dog gets arthritis later in his life, would that be a pre existing condition? I am trying to find the insurance for my dog, I had pretty bad experience with FETCH so definitely no FETCH for us. Can you let me know what's the best insurance I can use to insure my dog given this curable injury is not considered pre existing for any bigger condition.

I used to be insured by them and never had any accidents. I called roadside assistance once in 2022 because my tire had completely come off the wheel while my boyfriend was driving us back from the airport. Nothing happened, no crashes or collisions or injuries. We literally just pulled over and I wanted to see if someone could help us get another tire. I don’t recall what i said on the phone after explaining the situation but we didn’t end up getting help through my roadside assistance. Never heard a peep from geico about the incident. When they jacked up my rate almost 3x 2 year later and i asked why they didn’t have a reason, certainly not this “unreported accident,” but just said i was flagged as a high risk driver. I assumed at the time it was related to my drive easy habits. Now i am with progressive but was thinking of switching back. The quote i got was reasonable, and right before i could purchase they asked me about this unreported incident involving my boyfriend and whether he was driver on my policy when it happened. He recently signed up with geico but i’m not sure how they connected his name because i don’t think they even asked when I called roadside, and he definitely didn’t report it. I just find this very bizarre because they hadn’t asked me about this at all when I was under their insurance but now it’s being used as a reason to increase my policy quote.

Back in 2023/2024 we had a tree brand fall on the A frame of our Highlander. We called state farm, they decided after an assessment a repair would do the trick. They wouldn’t let us use Toyota without paying 50% out of pocket. So we ended up using their preferred shop. Long story short, the replaced the windshield and “repaired” the A frame. It was still leaking and we went back, they “repaired it again” and it was fine (minus the water stains on the head liner). It’s been about 16 months or so, and it is leaking again. No additional accidents or anything. My wife and I are incredible tired of dealing with this. Anyone have any tips on dealing with state farm for this situation? The value of the Highlander went down 10K just from the accident alone which is crazy state farm wouldn’t give us compensation for(IMO). We honestly would prefer to have a new Camry or something at this point and not worry about mold, stains, or possible leaks again. TIA.

I’ve had my two dogs insured with Healthy Paws for almost a decade, and at first, it seemed like a great choice, claims were really easy, they seemed like they cared by sending good will messages after a claim etc. Monthly premiums started at around $30–$40 per pet, then slowly crept up—$50, $70, $90. It was annoying but manageable, thought it was normal as dogs aged and there was also inflation. Then, things went off the rails, I think it's because they were acquired by a bigger company (that's my speculation tho). My premium was already high at around \~$250/month for both dogs, but now they want **\~$550/month**— more than double overnight! No new benefits, no explanation, just pure corporate greed. It’s clear they’re taking advantage of longtime customers with older pets, knowing we have fewer options due to pre-existing conditions. It’s a disgusting, predatory practice. They assume people won’t leave, but I’d rather pay another company—even if it costs more—than reward this behavior. **I'd say avoid Healthy Paws at all costs.** Also if anybody had changed insurances at a similar point and were happy after please let me know!

I am getting a new car delivered to me friday and trading my old one in, I went to update my insurance policy through state farm & it’s showing my total change cost to be $733 just to remove my old car & add the new one. Is this normal? That seems insanely high

Location: Texas Mind you we have been a returning customer for the last 9 years to the same salesman at the same dealership. He has always gone above and beyond with taking care of us with exceptional customer service to the point of even driving 2hrs to deliver our last leased vehicle in our driveway. So now the dilemma; we recently returned 2022 lease and signed a new lease for a 2025 at Infiniti dealership February 1st. After all the paperwork is completed we get keys for 2025 vehicle and drive home. Fast forward to February 22nd I see the reoccurring payment of $975 from the old 2022 leased vehicle. Then on 26th another one for $1130 for new 2025 lease which was expected. Wife contacts salesman and says he will look into it with Infiniti finance department. After a couple of days he tells us that Infiniti finance for the old lease had not yet received dealership check for the vehicle payoff, then proceeds to tell us after they receive it we would be receiving a reimbursement check in the mail “around” the same amount of $975 from old lease that we are no longer in possession of. Wife contacts Infiniti finance and they basically tell us that the dealership is at fault and it’s out of their hands. Now we are in April and salesman telling us he will get with GSM, but GSM is somehow always busy (out of office at auctions, yadda yadda). We have yet to receive the “check” or any further information on the matter from dealership. This our 4th vehicle through this dealership with no issues at all and now this. What route do I take? Anyone else ever have this problem? Do I take legal action over $975?

I bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado and I wrecked around the 1st of march I have full insurance coverage and my insurance has totaled my truck. I have had a couple of mechanic friends look at it. They are telling me that it only did a couple thousand dollars of damage. Yet the collision repair center said that it did a $9000 of damage. I told the insurance that I want to buy it back. But the insurance company is telling me that I have to pay $3700 out of pocket before they will let the truck go. I had full coverage insurance and I thought that they were supposed to pay it off first. Doesn’t the insurance company have to pay it off then send me the rest? Also I put a massive audio system in the truck. $300 alone in wire. They said that I need to put a factory radio In it before the take it back. Isn’t that a load of bs? Location: Claremore Oklahoma
