So my driving record is pretty good, all of my scores are at 100. Last month in June, I was getting on the interstate and had to pick up speed quickly so I got marked for acceleration and cornering. Those 2 events brought me down to 60 something from 1 time. Usually after I have an event, it doesn't take long for me to get back up to 100 as I don't like to accelerate as quick. It's been over a month with no other events and it won't go up. I drove yesterday and my score was 89 for acceleration and 88 for cornering. After my 3 trips I checked the app and hour later and it went up to 90 and 89. This morning I get back on and it dropped both to 88 even though I haven't driven since yesterday. I called 3 customer service lines and my local state farm representative and I'm getting the run around. My 6 months discount is for August so I'm wondering if it's doing this intentionally so I don't get as big as a discount when I'm up to 100 for everything.

I filed a water damage claim a month ago and have not gotten any sort of compensation or even an update on the claim. They sent an adjuster out but I have heard nothing since besides they are behind on claims right now. I have called several times a week and my agent/adjuster does not pick up besides one call back saying they are behind and to sit tight. Is this standard for State Farm?

Hi all, I keep running into an issue where my auto insurance is OK then it goes up eventually which makes me want to look around. This past year I've been on a mission to reduce my expenses as much as possible. I cut a lot and the auto is a pain because I lock in a price then when I get it all set up it goes up eventually later. I got advertised a commercial about a site that offers "wholesale" insurance prices that apparently is cheaper because no middle man. I didn't recognize the site so to me it seemed weird so I avoided. I looked for a local broker in my city but they only rep a few companies, one I gave my info to like vin and they never sent me a quote or anything but I got an email that showed they were looking for rates on the carrier sites. That company appears to be out of business now, my city doesn't have many options with local people that can compare rates. Is my best bet to call bigger places individually like geico etc and just change companies each year when the premi

So I signed up for State Farm Auto/Renters insurance and all was well. I decided to switch agents because I was not happy with the communication speed I had with the old agent, so i submitted an Agent Change request online. It has been more than a month since the original request and only the Renters Policy moved. The requests show complete, but now I noticed my Auto Policy completely disappeared from my account. Did they mess this up and cancel my policy? I haven’t gotten any emails or documents online stating this. This has been so frustrating and I just want to not have a lapse in coverage for their mistake. Has anyone dealt with this or something similar?

Hi everyone. I have a 6 year old terrier mix that's been insured with Fetch since I adopted him at 5 months old. He's had 4 claims all under $200 in all these years. 2 for ear issues, 1 for diarrhea and 1 for a scrape on his leg. No claims in the Iast two years. I started paying $35 / month and now they want to increase my premium from $71 to $117 which is absolutely crazy! I currently have no annual limit with a 90% coverage and $250 deductible. I have no problem bringing down the annual limit to 20-25k, 80% coverage and a higher deductible to decrease my rate but my concern is if he's only 6 right now and Fetch is jacking up prices like this, even if I reduce coverage I'm afraid I'll end up with a crazy premium in just a couple of years! Also, I had another dog insured by them and we spent 25k with her last year. She unfortunately passed away but now I wonder if that is playing a role with how much they are increasing my terrier mix rate since they were both under the same account (I read someone here in Reddit had something like this happening with Fetch). I'd love to hear experiences of people switching insurance specially in regards to coverage of pre existing conditions and also, if anyone has recommendations of other insurance companies I'd love to hear your experience too (especially in regards to rate increases and claims). Thank you!

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 everyone! I just got an 8-week-old Australian Shepherd and signed him up for a policy with Pets Best. After reading through the contract, I noticed they have a clause that says even undocumented or undiagnosed conditions can be considered “pre-existing” if the pet showed any signs or symptoms before the policy start date or during the waiting period. Now I’m kinda paranoid and want to protect myself in case they try to deny anything later and try to blame it on that clause. I’ve read stuff online about insurances doing that. Has anyone else done a routine vet checkup right after enrolling, just to have something on file that says the pup was healthy at the start of the policy? Did it help? I’m thinking of doing one this week just for that reason. Would love to hear what others did — or if anyone’s dealt with a similar denial. Trying to play it smart before something pops up!

Hello can anyone share if their pet insurance covered electrochemotherapy for their pet? I have healthy paws and inquired and they said it “may be covered” subject to policy rules. However electrochemotherapy is not FDA-approved in the United States and healthy paws policy states they don’t cover non FDA-approved treatments. Just looking for some insight. Thanks.

After all these years, it still grinds my gears. A truck carrying drilling waste accidentally went into the wrong farmer's field, and sprayed a tiny bit of it on the alfalfa field, before the driver realized his mistake. I was called in to analyze the soil test data and write a report and recommendations. The tests showed salinity deep in the soil profile, that couldn't have possibly come from the drilling waste, and I said so in my report. I was called to a meeting with the insurance adjuster and had to endure a thorough dressing down for it (by a British accent no less) and made to look the fool in front of my peers. The insurance company was far more inclined to spend dozens of millions to excavate all the soil and have it replaced instead. That was my first inkling that insurance companies don't really want to avoid big payouts; they use them to justify raising their premiums.

Hi, first time reddit poster, hoping for some advice. I got a new, much better paying job in Oct. Of 2023 and no longer needed food stamps or medi-cal. I updated my information in both systems (so I thought). California food stamps was difficult because it wouldnt update for some reason so I finally called them and told them to take me off the program. Now, flash forward to 2025 - I've received a letter in the mail saying I got renewed for medi-cal. I did not get this letter last year. And I haven't used medi-cal since I got my job. I checked the website and it still has my old jobs. I've had state medical insurance in Illinois and never ran into this kind of issue. What would be the best course of action to fix this? What kind of penalties could I face? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I haven't updated the application on the website yet, I'm waiting to give them a call on Monday.
