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

My cat is getting up there in age so now I'm trying to find a good pet insurance for her. I'm mainly looking for one that would also cover dental. I've been looking at Spot, but lots of people have said it's a scam, and from what I've heard AKC insurance doesn't cover dental.

I recently sold some commercial property and I'm looking for an umbrella policy or a large liability policy. My problem is I live in a home that belongs to my 88 year old mom with severe dementia. The home is in a life estate deed to me, I've cared for my mom a long time, I have no claim to the home until she passes away. We suffered significant hurricane damage, now seven months post hurricane repairs are just starting. I had to move my mom out of state with a sibling and mom is so frail she will never be able to return to her home. I am currently on the homeowners policy with my mom but expect there's going to be a problem with the current insurance company at renewal. My mom is out of state and I have no real rights to the home yet. My brother and I have POA but can't sign the deed over to me because mom has only social security and is going to need Medicaid soon. Medicaid does a five year look back. The home she owns is a mobile home, nice but not of great value. It's been in the enhanced life estate deed to me for many years. I do have a vacation home out of state, not a primary residence. I have Progressive car insurance. I called the company associated with them and they question the liability on my mom's home. I don't know if I will even have insurance on that home soon. I would need to raise my car insurance above 100,000/300,000 and the umbrella policy would be $900 a year. This policy seemed to depend on raising the liability insurance on my mom's home, possibility with a renters insurance policy, but that was questionable. I send money to my brother to help pay her care but it's not rent, she would then owe income tax on that and could be considered in kind help with medicaid. There must be others who don't own a home in the state they reside who have significant assets. I've never been in this position before. Can someone in the insurance industry advise how I can purchase a large liability policy?

I had some large expenses come up that I couldn't afford, so I used the "Plan it" feature on my platinum card. Basically, you pay a fee, and then Amex lets you make installment payments on the charges. What I did not know at the time is that you pay interest on these payments in addition to the fees! The fees themselves were a couple hundred bucks, and I picked a 6 month payment plan under the assumption that I was paying the fees instead of interest. Am I overlooking something, or is the payment plan completely useless? I would have just carried the balance if I'd known what I was actually signing up for Edit: I confirmed with amex that I am using the "plan it" feature and not "Pay over time" so I shouldn't be paying interest, but because I have carried a balance that isn't part of the payment plan, I'm being charged interest on both. This feels pretty scummy and deceptive

So the story goes: My friend in Texas totaled his car by hitting a mailbox. He has Gap insurance from the dealership, and auto insurance from progressive. Auto insurance agent told him they're going to pay the dealership instead of him. Can friend demand direct payment to himself, as the policyholder? Can his insurance just send the check somewhere else like that? The gap insurance should handle everything on the dealership side, so I don't know why his insurance company would be giving the dealership anything.

Just a little PSA for people who weren't aware, when you move you may lose access to your old policy. I've had my policy for 2 years and in that time one of my cats turned 15. because I'm moving, they are charging me a deductible again and also won't cover my cat on the same plan anymore due to age. I'm going from 80% coverage on an unlimited amount to a cap of $2,500. in a HCOL area. I'm obviously devastated but just wanted to share. might have chosen a different place to live if I'd known how screwed I would be.

Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance

Hi all, I am looking for advice regarding my vehicle that was determined to be a total loss from a collision a couple months ago. It’s my first wreck and figuring out what to do every step of the way has been a total struggle. The communication between me, the insurance adjuster, and the shop has been absolutely terrible (with some information intentionally left out, it feels like) and I could use any help I can get. I’m in Oklahoma btw. A couple months ago my ‘08 Mercury Mariner was rear-ended. Her insurance company, State Farm, determined it to be a total loss and offered me $7000 for the vehicle or $5800 to retain it. The vehicle has sentimental value to me (was my grandma’s car) and only has 64,000 miles on it and since it’s been in the family so long I know its history (NO mechanical problems whatsoever) so I would really like to retain and repair it. The shop that did the estimate provided a quote of $5100 to repair it. The insurance adjuster said the title would be clean if I retain the vehicle. My main question is, if I put the full $5100 into repairing the vehicle and I get hit again, will I get less money from insurance since the vehicle was already a total loss at some point (even with a clean title)? The adjuster said that that wasn’t true but also said the car had to be repaired “back to brand new” which seems like an impossibility/possible loophole that can be used later if there’s another wreck. My brother thinks I should put as little money as possible into it so if I get hit again I can have some of that $5800 to put towards a new car. Like I said, total idiot when it comes to this kind of thing so any advice or clarification is welcome. Thank you in advance!

Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. Recently was in an accident which I was not at fault. I have a luxury vehicle that was fully paid for. State Farm totaled my vehicle. My issue is the amount they want to settle my claim for is substantially less than what I think it should be or was expecting. Do I have to accept that? Is my only recourse to file a lawsuit? I live in Wyoming BTW. Thanks for any help or advice!

I had signed up for trupanion pet insurance after reading good reviews. Now my dog had a CCL rupture and needs surgery. They refused to cover ANY costs because they classified limping as a pre-existing illness. After my vet send them a lengthy letter (as seen in picture) they STILL denied coverage saying they do not cover any CCL injuries that occur within 18 MONTHS!!!!!! Absolute waste of time and money. My vet hates them too. Have cancelled my subscription.
