I pay my Home Insurance through my Mortgage Bill every month from there my lender pays my Home Insurance. For the second year in a row they have failed to pay the Insurance company (Progressive). Unfortunately it renews in July and if the payment isn’t remitted by the first from the Mortgage Lender it lapses. My neighborhood goes crazy on the 4th everyone and anyone capable of flicking a bic lights fireworks. Should the payment not be submitted by the first and it lapses; worst case scenario something happens on the 4th would the Lender be responsible for any damages being they failed to pay the insurance bill?

Hey everyone, I had a question regarding auto insurance with Progressive. They sent me a memo via email and asked me to call them about folks under the same roof as me not under my insurance. I called them and explained that I declined coverage for all my family members under my roof, for the have their own insurance. They said I still need to "pay" to have them declined under my coverage. I asked the girl over the phone why I need to pay to decline them coverage on my policy. She said it's in case they're passengers. So let me get this straight, they want me to pay $93+ to state all my parents and siblings are declined on my policy? Even though NO ONE drives my vehicle. Is this legal? They said they're mailing me a document via mail for me to sign and get back to them to continue coverage.

They advertise they never raise rates due to age. I got insurance when my dog was a puppy and in the two years ive had her the rates raised annually from $40 to $50 and now $60. It sure seems like they raise rates based on age, unless you are telling me that vet care has increaed by 50 percent in my city in the last two years. Even in the very email they sent about the rate increase, they said "Trupanion is unique in that we never increase your monthly cost because you’ve submitted an invoice or because your pet ages. "

I’ve been scrolling this thread trying to find the best option for mine and my husband’s dogs but it seems every option sucks. We have a 7 month old rat terrier and a 10-12 week old husky mix (not positive on age or breed as we just got her and she was abandoned by previous owner). I looked at spot but all the reviews are terrible, same with ASPCA. My biggest concern is the cost of preventative care like vaccines. Both are due for vaccines and I’m hoping to find a way to lower the cost somehow. Someone please point me in the right direction 😅

Has anyone successfully moved their IRA from Inspira to Vanguard with an "in kind" transfer? It's impossible to reach anyone via phone at Inspira for help!

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.

Renewal time is coming up soon and realized I never changed our address since we recently moved back to NY after living in RI. Well it’s going from $36 for my 5 year old cat to $60 a month. Overall she’s a very healthy kitty, the only health issue is she has asthma so I get that and I know as they get older it’s more costly cause of healthcare for them and providing services is expensive. Embrace has been great overall experience for us because we had to put one of our other cats down last year and they compensated us almost entirely but, I just wasn’t expecting because of the zip code to justify $60 every month now. Does anyone have any suggestions on our insurances if I’d be saving money elsewhere?

My wife has started seeing a new therapist who she seems to really like. The therapist is out of network for our insurance (Cigna) and I think does only self-pay, but issues a superbill at the end of the month that we can submit for reimbursement. This superbill contains her NPI number but not her TIN. I have submitted claims with these superbills to Cigna but they have been denied due to lacking a TIN. After seeing the denials I googled and found that this provider is a sole proprietor therefore her TIN is actually her SSN, and that it is a relatively common practice for solo therapists to be structured this way instead of through an LLC. If she declines to provide a TIN to our insurance company is our only recourse finding a different provider? I’m not going to ask my wife to switch but just want to understand the lay of the land.

A couple months ago my car was parked and someone hit the back of it (they were parked behind me). Luckily my dash cam recorded everything. I contacted the local police and they went to the man’s house and he admitted fault saying “ I didn’t think it was that bad”. I declined pressing charges as this man was older and In just wanted his insurance info thinking it would be a simple claim. Alas, here were are with State Farm trying to get me to use their preferred body shop and only approving 60% of the estimate. I know they tout the benefits of using their contracted shops but I don’t want to do that. I got two estimates from two reputable shops showing what the cost to repair should be but they don’t want to budge. I also understand that if I go to a non contracted shop then the shop can request supplements for more money from insurance to complete the repairs. I just don’t like being liable for any monies not agreed to by State Farm if that situation were to happen. At this point I’d rather just get the amount the two shops quoted me to fix it and go that route. I’ve compiled a demand letter requesting that amount, along with 10 days of a rental care cost. I think this is fair and hoping this will resolve the claim. Think they will agree?

Context: Hail Storm on May 3 2024 and it damaged my roof, siding, and gutters. Filed claim with my insurance company Progressive. Progressive approved full roof repair, replacement of gutters, but only approved replacement of siding on 1 side of my house. On the siding my home policy didn’t offer matching so Progressive is only paying to replace 1 side and says to patch damage siding on other sides of my house with siding that will be taken down. Signed contract with roofing company on June 7 2024 for them to do all the approved work. July 2024 the roofing company replaced my roof. Since then, they have not returned to place my gutters and do the siding. I’ve called the roofing company at least once per month to follow up and they say I’m in their Que and they’ll get to it when they get to it. Roofing contractor says insurance companies give 2 years after claims are filed to complete work. Can someone confirm if this true/accurate? What other options do I have? Can/Should I file a complaint with BBB?
