I currently have Fetch pet insurance and they dropped my cats coverage to 50% from 80% bc they thought her account was unbalanced. They basically penalized me for using the coverage I pay for. For those of you who have had pet insurance for more than 2-3 years, which ones have you been happy with? I also, just got my new cat lemonade pet insurance but now I am having doubts. Pls helppp

Location: New York I am trying to navigate the ongoing challenges in the hardship surrender of a life insurance annuity (qualified) I inherited from my father when he passed in NOV 2013. He was 82 years old when he passed and was already taking disbursements (Metlife at that time). In early 2014, I truly thought that I had requested a full pay-out on the life insurance; however, Metlife then informed me that I had already annuitized the policy (?), and it was documented on my 2014 annual FMV notice from Metlife that there was "no servicing agent on record". At that time, I did not get too upset about the mix-up because my family was doing fine financially, then. However, I am now 61 and my wife is 62; and now our financial situation has turned dire, as last year we already liquidated the other inherited life insurance annuity from Security Benefit which was super easy and paid-out within days. The reason for this eminent need is that my wife lost her job in March 2024 and she has been unsuccessful in finding a new role in this unsure job market (>500 job applications), and her NY unemployment insurance was exhausted long ago. We also have three sons, with two currently being in college in which one of them has autism in which I have dedicated my life, acting as his personal attendant of sorts to assist his K-12 education. His disability application for SSDI is still in the appeal process with the SSA, so we have paid for his first year of community college, with a great deal of assistance from me. Unfortunately, after several documented/recorded calls with Brighthouse, they have failed to provide me with a copy of my original contract, or the ability to even open an on-line account. Whenever I call them, I am not even treated as a real Brighthouse customer as my annuity contract is immortalized allowing me no visibility of my account, and I am informed that I will not be able to withdrawal the money until age 73. After 11 years, the annuity is only worth \~$28,000 (started out at $37,000 in 2013). It's not a lot of money to most people, but it could save my family at this point! I would be so grateful if the legal expert in this community could help me navigate down the correct paths to possibly resolve this solution as we really can't afford a financial planner or attorney at this time. I'm not even sure that I'm using the correct surrender request form (EF-70N-DXC 10/23) because I never get a response from Brighthouse, and I am very gracious in my communications with them.

Greetings, I have State Farm insurance on my truck, which I've been gradually making improvements to for off-road use over the past 2 years I've had it. As of right now, I have about 18k invested into it excluding labor. I've asked my SF agent aboput gettin an endorsement and they verbally said that my current policy should cover it as long as it's bolted to the vehicle and that I've kept photos and receipts, but I still worry I could end up in a situation where the vehicle is stolen or wrecked in an accident, deemed total and I'm offered far less then it would cost to purchase a similarily equipped truck used on FB marketplace. I'm a bit skeptical of whether or not this is accurate or whether i'd be severely low balled. I live in a fairly urban area where property theft and unisured reckless drivers have been sharply increasing. I skimmed over my policy but nothing stood out to me in reguards to modifications, but perhaps I missed something? I'm just trying to make sure that I'm not screwed . One scenario I'm worried about is getting a low ball offer for the vehicle and then hoping there is an avenue to buy it back so that I can transfer the viable parts to another vehicle of the same model, selling whatever is leftover for part and taking a huge loss.

My 2024 Hybrid XLE Rav4 got pushed into a ditch while on the freeway with less than 7K miles on it. Opposing driver did admit fault and the car's recently been repaired. Subrogation is completed and I received a refund for my deductible. I have the total cost of repairs receipt equaling out to around 15 K and currently have one of my friends who works in finance at a dealership pulling up some numbers to compare my car pre-accident value and now. I have the police report and some pictures of damages. I already hit up progressive and they essentially just said to send whatever it is I have over but I feel like there should be more to it. If anyone knows anything about this and is willing to help, I'd appreciate it. 1. Do I absolutely have to get an appraisal and spend money on a report?

Do agents typically approach you? I was approached by a woman with a tablet telling me about insurance plans and claiming she was from ACA. She asked me if I wanted to apply to see if I were eligible and told me that I could cancel at any tome should I enroll in it. Turns out I was eligible for a basic plan that I pay 0 dollars for. So I am a bit skeptical about the whole thing. I have a screenshot about a confirmation on an onboard app. It has a Premier Secure number to cancel. I’m 90% my dumbass got scammed or something. I’ve done an enrollment with a Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance in a similar manner but I canceled that one because the mandatory doctor was an hour away.

So long story short was involved in minor car accident that I was not at fault for , this happened on 3/3/2025 and I didn’t get any information from the adjuster after having the car looked at until I decided to call to see what was going on and they somehow missed to file something so I didn’t hear back until 3/27/2025. The adjuster was adamant about me signing and cleaning my car out from the place that repaired it which I did a few days later , which it was considered a total loss and I received the estimate/ Salvage value and all of that again a few days later after having to ask for it. Now since then I cannot get a hold of anyone I’ve sent countless emails and phone calls and just today text messages to the Total Salavage department of Erie Insurance as I didn’t even agree to the repair costs or the amount they want to give back to me , I’m unsure what to do currently I just would like a status of where my vehicle is even at , I wanted to at least have one more shop to check it out and get a second opinion but now it just seems unfeasible at this point having to wait and wait and wait, so yeah first accident never dealt with anything like this so any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Alright here we go. So July forth I was going down a back road (rainy) as I cut the corner I see this Tahoe coming at me at a 90 degree angle (she lost control) and just smashes into me. I didn’t have insurance on this car I had it’s one of my cars I don’t drive often, but with all the pictures and you can clearly see it’s her fault farmers insurance is still denying that’s it her fault I’m at total loss of words (no dash cam) I’m not going down without a fight or a payout so I’m consulting a injury lawyer but is this how it really goes? The pictures her car is just layed smashed into my car and they say it wasent her fault?

I bought a used 2012 Volvo during the pandemic at the height of used car prices out of desperation. I needed a car. I have $12600 left on the loan. The car itself is now valued at $4000. It currently requires $15000+ in repairs to pass safety and emissions. I’ve had nothing but problems with it since purchase a couple of years ago. I have put about $1500 into the car so far in repairs. I suspect I was sold a lemon, one shop suspected a history of flood damage, another refused to comment if that was a possibility. I do have gap insurance, not sure if that can apply here. I cannot afford to fix the vehicle or pay out the loan and get a new vehicle. Between the original dealer, the lender, State Farm, auto repair shops, I feel pretty constantly let down by customer service. I also struggle to understand all of the policies and legalese. Is there anything I can do here? I’m so overwhelmed.

I applied for a comenity card through Forever21 (big mistake). I had a total debt of $300 dollars on that account. The customer representative took down the wrong address and name so I never received a physical credit card resulting in not being able to make the payment. I had to leave country for a month and I couldn’t receive any calls from comenity resulting in a 60 days late payment. My credit score plummeted from 715 to 533 (Feb 2024). I am trying to get my credit score up. Despite my $2000 spending every month on my Amex card, my credit score has gone up to 581. I moved to US in 2022 so I don’t have a long payment history. What are my options here? Should I contact comenity? Or should I try to contact Transunion? I’m worried that I will get not get an apartment now that my lease is coming to an end.

I’m confused and need some advice on my current situation. I was involved in a rear end accident, not at fault. Car is drivable with a minor dent in the trunk and paint chipped. The facts: - car is a 2014 Lexus es 350 - The person at fault has Liberty Mutual - initial estimate from their in network shop was $2100 - after they began working on it the supplement charges ended up close to $8700 after being in the shop for about a week and having a rental Today I got a call saying that the car was deemed total loss because cost to repair is over the 75% threshold. I still owe on it the car. What options do I have? Could I take it to another shop to get a lower estimate? There current labor charges were over $5k. I feel like as the victim of this I’m still getting the bad deal by not only losing my drivable car but also potentially paying out of pocket for the gap and rental. What should I do?
