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.

Hello, I bought a vehicle in New York.. had it shipped to California.. Vehicle arrived damaged during transport.. Transport Company stayed at a rest stop, another vehicle/truck backed up and hit Transport Trailer where my vehicle is secured.. Truck at fault denied my insurance claim.. Per the Insurance they don’t have coverage.. I filed a claim against the Transport Company who was transporting my vehicle, Progressive their insurance denied the claim with reason of Transport Company not cooperating with there investigation and unable to verify information that is necessary to confirm valid coverage for the incident.. What’s my next step? any advice? I’d like to avoid filing a claim against my insurance.. also, should I lawyer up? any suggestions? location is California.. Thanks

I have received a debit card from OnePay by mail. I didn’t register for their service. It looked fishy to me, but I called their customer service, they requested my last 4 SSN and date of birth to investigate. I insisted them to check if there exist such an account without that info but no luck. I was hesitant to provide my sensitive info. The card is issued by Coastal Community Bank. Should I call the bank instead? Does anyone have similar experience? Planning to report it to FTC and local police. Have already security freeze on file for all credit bureaus for years. Have also checked ChexSystems report, but shows no activity. But this has happened. Thanks

Can anyone give me tips on how my Ucare/DentaQuest can cover my teenagers braces because she has a very wide noticeable gap on her teeth from the fact that she was born with an extra tooth and had to get it removed and rarely smiles with her teeth anymore. She’s done 2 orthodontic evaluations for them and they keep denying her but she really does need them and that’s all she’s asking for her birthday this month but they keep telling me she needs a medical reason or doesn’t fit the certain conditions they approve but I can’t afford to pay them out of pocket.

Hello! I was in a no-fault accident pm 2/25/25. The lady ran the red light and hit me. Here's the thing, my car is a 2023 outlander PHEV (57k miles) that just came off the lot and still had temp tags. I had the car for two weeks. Market value for my car states anywhere between 28k-32k. I called around to local banks as well to make sure I wasn't wrong in my numbers. Root insurance is only wanting to offer me $23,660. My car was in EXCELLENT condition considering it just came off the lot yet they listed it as Average. Additionally, they have forgone alloy wheels on the report for what ever reason. Am I able to dispute this? I already consulted a lawyer for the personal injury portion.

So I just got a 37% increase this year and this is now a 77% over two years. Based on the cost increases in my area for Vet care. This is what they said: We recently reviewed the data for similar pets in your area, and we found that the average cost and use of veterinary care has increased. To ensure that Geena always has access to the best veterinary care possible, we’ll be changing Geena's monthly cost from $302.79 to $413.04 starting on August 17, 2025. Trupanion is unique in that we never increase your monthly cost because you’ve submitted an invoice or because your pet ages. When I called them they said there are many factors that go into this cost one of them is the increased cost of vet care for an older dog. So they do not increase for cost because your dog is older but they do increase your cost because and older dog vet cost are higher. Don't you love insurance companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve never had to worry about health insurance before, so I have not learned any of the insurance lingo or terms. I’m in a very specific, very tricky situation. I was in an accident 2 years ago that I am still recovering from. I have a plastic surgery that I still need done to complete the recovery. At the same time, I am being kicked off of my parents insurance. Is there a reputable insurer that young adults generally use? My parents suggested AmBetter, but their reviews are really poor and lots of reviews say they deny coverage for surgeries. I’m willing to pay a premium if it means I can get better care throughout my recovery. I still need physical therapy and a permanent shoe-lift made. I’m hoping to find insurance that will cover me through all of this. I cannot get insurance through an employer, because I can’t hold any serious jobs that offer insurance while I am going through recovery. Any tips are appreciated, thank you in advance!

I’m having trouble finding a provider I’ve applied to 30 different providers through the Anthem website (I was referred to this website through Med-iCal), when re-directed to many providers websites that can take supposedly take my insurance they usually provide a dropdown of insurances they take. I applied for California Med-iCal and am curious as how to describe my insurance? Is it an Anthem? Is it Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, is it a LA Care card, is it a Med-iCal card? I’d also like to add that there’s every combo version of what I just mentioned and not direct way for me to know which one? I’m am genuinely losing my mind, anyone with a similar insurance and help would be great. Yes I’ve called the numbers provided on the back. No help.

I am 24, and I got my license at 19. In the past 3 years I have had 3 accidents, 2 of which the car was totaled/not worth repairing. We have Geico, and to renew the plan with me on it they’re charging is about 8k per 6 months, or about 1300 a month. When my dad tried to shop around, the only other company willing to take us on with myself as a driver was Progressive, and when all the details were filled out they wanted to charge us even more. Since I am a member of the household with a license, I have to be on any car insurance plan he gets. We have two other cars, so selling my car wouldn’t impact my dad. I was thinking that after selling my car, I could use the money to pay for ride-sharing. Also: if I turn in my license now and try to renew it next year, will the premiums go down or stay the same?

Had 2 roofing companies come and inspect the roof for hail damage, and they both claimed there is hail damage. However, Allstate insurance denied the claim, saying there is 0 hail damage. I sent the report from roofing companies, but they deny it's due to hail. I tried requesting a different adjuster, but Allstate won't budge. Any recommendations on how to proceed with insurance? I have heard I need to hire a public adjuster. Is there a certified inspection I can do that has more value than a roofer's? This is in texas.
