I’m so frustrated, I have a shih tzu 13 years old who doesn’t have any major problems, other than a collapse trachea and anxiety. But nationwide made my payment $300/month. How am I going to afford this?!

I’m in shambles. A surgery out of network I was approved actually late last year is somehow now denied in network now? And the record of approval is nowhere to be found?? Literally saw it three weeks ago. I want to make sure this appeal hits the ball out of the park with all necessary info but it’s such an uphill mountain and I was so happy for a month and a half excitedly waiting for my surgery next month. Please help.

Hey denied my cat’s mycoplasma diagnosis because his first vet record shows he was sneezing (self report by us.) however, he is a Persian and they tend to sneeze for no reason. The sneezing he was doing when he got sick was WAY different than just a smelling around sneeze. Now they’re saying it’s a preexisting condition when it’s not! (It was a bacterial infection, he didn’t have it when we got him for sure). We got him in December and he got his cold in February. I’m so upset and really regretting getting Lemonade

Hey guys, State Farm is trying to increase my rates by another $300 per 6 months. Told them I’ll be taking my 19 years of customer service with me. Which insurance has discounts for being a nurse?

Today I bit the bullet and got Embrace. My mom has spot for her animals but only accident and illness. I chose embrace because it was a little better financially and would cover wellness exams. I wanted to see everyone’s opinions on different insurances. I get the impression that many don’t like embrace which is a little worrying to be honest, but I’m going to wait and see how I like them after I get my dogs anual done. She’s older and I just wanted her to be covered by something before I bring her in. Seeing that most if not all of the insurances will not cover anything preexisting. I did ask about a preexisting condition in my dog (torn ACLs) and if it would be covered since that hasn’t been an issue for years. The lady I talked to said that since it has been an issue in over 12 months it would be fine, which I found pretty surprising tbh. She explained it like - if your dog had a belly ache 3 years ago and it came back that’s something they’d cover. But if it was a chronic thing before you started insurance then no.

Hey Reddit, I’m a 27-year-old male, single, no spouse or kids, living in Mississauga. I moved to Canada last year on PR, got my G license, and financed my first car (Honda Civic Hybrid 2025) in late November. I’ve had Wawanesa auto insurance ever since, paying $750/month through automatic withdrawal. Here’s the full picture:- I originally got this car not just for personal use, but also with the intention to do Uber Eats. I wanted to stay completely legit, so I was upfront with every insurance provider I contacted. They all told me that due to my lack of Canadian driving history, I wasn’t eligible for regular commercial insurance. So I went through a broker, and he found me a commercial policy with Wawanesa that would cover Uber driving. I also have a main job just 30 seconds walk from my house, and I have a couple of major licensing exams coming up, so Uber is going to take a backseat for the next few months anyway. That’s why I’m thinking of canceling my insurance or switching to a non-commercial plan, but here's the problem:- I’ve heard that canceling before the end of the term means Wawanesa could charge a short-rate cancellation fee, and someone said it might total around $3,600 upfront in my case since my policy started around November, 2024. I simply don’t have that kind of money in my account. If I don’t cancel, they’ll just take another $750 in the first week of April, as usual. Also worth noting:- I have a clean driving record since getting my G license here in Canada, except one camera ticket I got in Brampton for going 7-8 km/h over the limit. I’ve used TD Bank’s auto insurance calculator and it showed that I could probably get a non-commercial plan in the mid-$400s—which is way more reasonable. The broker who arranged my current plan hasn’t been very transparent & hasn't even been responding to my calls or texts recently, so I’m planning to contact Wawanesa directly when their office opens. So here are my questions while I lose sleep over this:- 1. Any preparation tips on what I should say or talk or do on my upcoming phone call with Wawanesa? (I'm completely new to all of this) 2. If I cancel now, will I still be charged the full $3,600 upfront? 3. Can I negotiate or pay the cancellation fee in installments? 4. If I do cancel, what should I look out for? 5. Is there any way to downgrade to a non-commercial plan instead of canceling altogether? 6. What would you do in my situation? Any personal experience with Wawanesa or brokers? I know I should probably just call Wawanesa and ask all this, and I will once they open. But since I can’t sleep and this is really stressing me out, I figured I’d toss it out to Reddit too. Appreciate any advice you all have. Thanks!

Hey folks, my son was in a n accident a year ago. A driver hit him and a number of other people on the freeway. Son was NOT at fault and took the least of the overall damage. Mercury had me send the car to their adjuster and repair. It was fixed a year ago. All done I thought. Now I’m getting messages from the adjuster ranking for the EDR data from the car. What are my obligations here? The car was in another slight accident after this(hit a pole). Neither accident had airbag deploy. The letter they sent was quite demanding.

Hey guys , so this happends to me , My son was involve in an car accident last year (few months ago). He was driving his scooter to school on a traffic light he make an line change and got hit by a car(He is a Minor).After few days we got the police report saying that was my sons fault. Nearly January I receive an letter from NCS saying that I need to pay them 14k！The insurance of the other guy was nationwide. It was just a small accident so this looks not normal to me. Being an minor and on an scooter on his way to school hitting by a car was very stressful and know we need to pay over 14k out of my pocket. Just want to ask if NCS a scam? Should I pay the balance?

I was in a non injury auto collision accident with another vehicle. My car sustained much worse damage than the other car. I went to get an estimate at SHOP A and it's $3,000 to fix and only need 4 days. I then filed a claim through my Geico insurance. They say there is no fault on either party so we have to pay through our own coverage. Geico has set me up with their Auto Repair Xpress (ARX) locations. The ARX shop says it may take 2 weeks of back and forth with Geico to get my car back. And I'd need to get my own rental since my insurance doesn't cover rentals. My question is, can I use SHOP A and use Geico? Or do I have to go through ARX? How will Geico determine how much they will pay for if they don't inspect my car?

We recently rescued a mastiff puppy. She came down with parvo but is on the road to recovery. I would like to get insurance for her but I am concerned that having parvo as a puppy is a recipe for getting denied for any claim going forward. It just seems like parvo is one of those illnesses that could count against anything that goes wrong in the future. I reached out to Lemonade and their response was very general and generic. Preexisting, reviewing history with any claim, etc, etc.
