I adopted bonded pair of kittens and got them on pet insurance with trupanion at 8 weeks. They just turned two and trupanion has increased my premiums by 70 % in those two years. I understand they don’t raise the premiums based on pets age, but at this rate I won’t be able to afford to insure them until they get old. Looking at switching to lemonade - my one kitty has two minor claims and my boy has none. I realize her two claims will be pre-existing but they aren’t chronic issues. To the cat parents with lemonade- do you like it? Are you happy? I know I risk their premiums rising as well but at least I can afford more coverage with a smaller deductible to start. Would love your thoughts I want the best for my babies!! Thank you

I am a trusting person. I will state this upfront. We switched home insurance carriers last year. I was told by someone that they discontinued our vinyl siding and to purchase or look for a matching endorsement for it when I switched. I talked with the insurance salesman who I asked if they have a matching endorsement for vinyl siding. He said “it is not needed” i then asked clearly “if one side of our house is damaged and the siding has been discontinued you will replace all of the siding correct?” His response was “yes we will make it right, we will make you whole” Low and behold. Massive hail damage to one side of our house. Our siding is discontinued. Insurance says we will just try and match it to the best we can. Is there any recourse here?

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

I pay into a CalSavers account. I received an email five days ago saying: "per my request all correspondence will be sent to:" \[an email which is not mine\]. It looks like a scammer domain. I don't remember registering to access the account on the CalSavers website, though I may have during the enrollment process when I started the job. Either way, I can't access the account as it doesn't recognize the email I would have used. Is it possible someone has stolen the money by transferring it out of my account? I don't imagine scammers would waste time as soon as they have access... I can't call CalSavers until their office opens tomorrow.

Two weeks ago, I got rear-ended by a commercial truck owned by a logistics company, X. I originally filed the claim through their insurance company, Y (as listed on the driver information exchange). A few days later, insurance company Y told me that company X would cover the accident and gave me a claim number with X. I can only get in touch with X by email (which has very slow correspondence), and their phone line is always busy. After I sent them all the information they requested, the only response I got was that they are "reviewing" the case and will discuss it after that—without mentioning how long it will take. Since they are not an insurance company, I assume they don’t handle claims in the standard way. Now it's been more than two weeks, and I still have no idea how they plan to address this. Are there any legal requirements for how soon they need to respond and resolve the issue? (I do not want to go through my own insurance and pay out of pocket.) What actions can I take to push them to make progress on this? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I started getting calls asking if I am accepting new patients. I just said, I am sorry but you have the wrong number. After the fourth call I asked who they were trying to reach. I was told the name of the doctors office and read the number to me. It is my personal number and I have had it for 22 years. I went onto Blue Cross Blue Shield site and looked up the office and it does show my number. I contacted BCBS and they told me that they looked it up online and it is a different number listed there but they cannot do anything. She then told me to call the office and see if I could get them to change it in the providers portal. No one is returning my calls from this office, so no help there. I can't not answer my phone as I use it for my business. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I'm confused and a little suspicious. Long story short, had a tree fall and cause damage last year. Work is done, and the invoice came to roughly $65k (Siding + roof for garage and house). Insurance gave me roughly $62k, however I opted for a higher quality siding than the basic, so $3k was coming out of my pocket. That invoice is paid in full. For the main structure (house): RCV is 49k ACV is 42k So there's about 7k Dwelling Recoverable Depreciation that is available. However, my insurance rep is making that 7k as a payment to a sub-contractor that I've never heard of and in the email stated that the 7k is going to my contractor. Why are they getting 7k more when I've already paid the invoice? I'll push back on the payment but I want to go in with facts but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. I've asked the question to my insurance rep 4 days ago but she hasn't responded. Can anyone ELI5 what exactly is going on or am I getting bamboozled? Thanks!

Just got an increase from $385/month to $1137/month for accident and illness for my 2 dogs (about 14 yrs old in CA, USA). I've had Embrace for 10 yrs and this is absolutely insane. Should I change companies? Now that they're older, they'll have some preexisting conditions if I do new evaluations with a new provider. But I definitely can't afford this!

I was in a accident. Mine was certified 23 Crv hybrid sport with only 16k miles in chicago il. I tried passing a car and lost traction. Anyways now insurance is offering only 32k and they say I can only show compa within 75miles. they used Mitchell and jd power. they have listed 10 cars in 75 miles but 4 of them were sold listings. What do I do now to get the best amount possible. I can see listings but they are with more miles same like 30k miles and are at 32500 but can't find listings for 16k miles. This is with progressive.How do I negotiate with the adjustor or is it best to get a lawyer or private appraiser? Also is there a thing I shouldn't submit comps more than 75 miles away?

Are there any stated income HELOCs out there? I dragged my feet on UMPQUA which auto approved up to 100k, but when I finally got around to applying, they changed their DTI from 50 to 40% and their estimated DTI for me came 38-43% so it triggered stips. I don't need a HELOC, but would like to open one just in case. Figure is popular, but requires you to draw the full applied amount for, and they charge you 5% off that (big no thanks). I have about $200k in room for 85% CLTV, but I'm ok with max limits of $100k for auto approvals. Anything full doc is not worth my time, so I don't want to go down those avenues, and I don't want anything that requires a draw at open that you get a fat charge on. Thanks!
