Recently, my cat had to be rushed to the ER due to urinary blockage (FLUTD) , I submitted his bills, which rounded up to 7k, but the insurance denied it as pre-existing. * Pet had not prior diagnosis or sign of illness in the past with a clean record * Vet stated that he had issues peeing in an instance of stress due to construction and not due to FLUTD, and recommended Feliway Diffusers * Vet also wrote a letter for me specifying that the symptoms were not related to pre-existing FLUTD Now at the time that he started to show symptoms of blockage and straining the policy was already active and the waiting period was over. Am I crazy for thinking that them using past symptoms that were specified to not be related to deny my claim is actually wrong, and this emergency should fall under coverage?

Hi all. I recently leased a new car because the used car market was so atrocious in my area it was cheaper to go this route (context: they want full coverage so it's more expensive than the baseline cheapest policy I can otherwise get in NYS, the insurance checks on the used cars I found were comparable). My monthly rate is 500$/month w/ Progressive. Which is way more than the damn car. I'm a new driver, female, 24 (FML). I understand being young and new is whatever but 500$?? This was the cheapest my agent could find but I really want to shop elsewhere and look around before the next insurance renewal rolls up.

Location: New York State I recently moved and set up auto deliveries with Amerigas, mistakenly assuming auto payments were set up as well. On the morning of March 25th, I discovered my propane service had been cut off without any prior communication or notice, leaving my home cold and smelling of propane. I immediately paid my invoice in full upon realizing the mistake. However, when contacting Amerigas, they stated they couldn't restore service within a reasonable timeframe (2-6 days) and refused to allow another company to fill the tank, which I believe violates the Propane Consumer's Bill of Rights. Additionally, they indicated I couldn't purchase the tank, contrary to my Residential Customer Agreement, and didn't provide the Propane Consumer's Bill of Rights in our contract, which is another violation. They also mentioned no notice was needed before service disconnection, which I understand contradicts New York State Heating Fuel Customer Rights. I have been a customer for six months with no prior issues. What legal options do I have regarding these breaches?

Our cat Miles was experiencing bleeding gums, bad breath and difficulty eating. We brought him to the vet and they thought he might have tooth reabsorption. They gave us an estimate for a dental and we submitted it to ASPCA. ASPCA approved it and we went ahead with the dental a week later. Dental was complete and ended up not being as bad at the vet thought and he ended up with a cleaning and no extractions. We submitted to ASPCA and the claim was denied. They are saying that it's a pre-existing condition because Miles went to the vet last June after getting into a house plant and the vet noticed gum inflammation from it. The vet gave him an anti inflammatory and notated in his October check up that his gums and teeth were in good condition-- in our minds, the inflammation from eating the plant was "cured." ASPCA will cover pre-existing conditions that have been cured for 180 days. The vet used the word "stomatitis" in the records during the June visit and that's why ASPCA is denying us. Because stomatitis isn't considered a curable condition. Our vet tried to reason with them but they won't budge. Our biggest disappointment is with the bait and switch-- when I called to ask why the estimate was approved and the claim was denied, despite them having his full medical records both times, they said they got "new information" in that week between the estimate and the procedure. Not sure how that could be because they had everything about him from vet for the estimate. Not a great start to our relationship with ASPCA.

We bought replacememt windows: 4 sash, and 2 casement. The four sash windows leak air. The sale rep who sold the whole package to us knew how bad the wind was on our farm (we told him) but sold us these sash windows anyway. Five "adjustment" visits later, now one of them is leaking rain too. RBA came out and has offered to replace all the sash windows with casements (the two have performed well). Do I dare stay with them or should I demand a refund? This company is weird. The installers and service people are wonderful--unfailingly professional and polite, but the marketing and sales are... liars and worse.

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: Tampa, FL Hi everyone, I just want to know if you were me would you fight this with a lawyer? I was in a car accident in Florida in December 2024 while uninsured. A collection agency (on behalf of the original auto Insurance) is now coming after me for over $12,000. They didn’t notify me properly—I only found out after the DMV suspended my license and said I owe $15k. They’ve only sent a vague letter and a redacted repair estimate, but no real proof of liability, payment, or how they came up with that amount. The original insurance company of other driver -Auto-Owners never contacted me at all. I genuinely had no idea they submitted the claim. So all of this is so confusing. Does this seem normal? It seems both companies aren’t giving me the info I need at all but want me to just cough up $12 or 15k Thanks in advance!

I've known for a while that ManyPets was merging with Odie but I (wrongly) assumed that the policies would be largely the same. Odie emailed me yesterday with the new policy and billing summary and my jaw hit the floor. My plan on ManyPets was an annual deductible of $750 and unlimited coverage with 10% co-insurance. The annual premium was $377.04. According to the renewal notice with Odie, there is an annual max payout limit of $20k, deductible of $250 and 10% co-insurance (so an inferior plan) and the annual premium is **$1799.42?!** There is also a billing statement for a Wellness Plan, which I never had on ManyPets. I emailed customer support immediately on Friday and they haven't gotten back. My credit card will be billed on Monday. I'm going to call them first thing Monday morning but I'm pretty concerned. Others who were on ManyPets - are you sticking with Odie? People who have had Odie and used them for claims, what has been your experience? I'm certainly not willing to pay $1800. I have a 7 year old pug and he's healthy/never had any pre-existing issues. But I'm concerned that due to his age, I'll have a hard time getting a decent premium on a new plan.

I was just notified by Amica they will be dropping me in June due to having 2 previous claims in 2022 and 2023. Both were from individual pipe bursts Amica fixed. I’ve resolved further issues by paying out of pocket to repipe the entire house in 2024. Amica was aware of the re-piping but was still not interested in keeping me on. I do not live in a fire zone. I’ve been told no by several insurance companies stating because i’ve had water damage claims, I’m ineligible for their coverage, even though I’ve completely repiped my home last year. I have tried working with two different independent insurance brokers, both haven’t had success. One found a home policy for $18,000/year. Not including auto and umbrella. I was paying $4500 all in. Anyone have any luck getting coverage in a similar situation as me, with previous claims? I’d love to avoid CFP and DIC if possible. Thanks

My car is being considered Totaled based on the accident photos. To determine the value of the car the adjuster is asking me to take pictures of the inside of the car only. I requested for them to send someone over to look at the car in person, and they say they don't send appraisers to look at cars, that they only base it on the pictures. They said that if I wanted to get the car repaired that I can, but they would consider it as "Salvaged" and there's a process for that. They would send me a salvaged title, etc. Wouldn't they assess it lower based on inside images only? What about the rest of the car, they don't care about it? What can I do about this. I have also let them know I paid for my registration, bought some new lights, tires, etc. recently, and they asked for the receipt of these items, which I will send but how can I know that I'm not being offered really low? What makes me the most concerned is that I had a body shop come see the car and they tell me that they consider the car's value much higher than the repair. This is why I wish they could bring someone over instead. The car aside the accident part, is in great shape, why can't they be fair and bring someone to do this properly? This is being done by the other driver's insurance.
