I have an interest-free card that I used for some remodeling on a property. It is interest-free for 18 months, so I charged all materials and labor to it. The first payment was due yesterday, and I set up autopay from the property's bank account. The autopay only had one option: "amount due." I naively thought that meant the minimum amount due, not the entire credit card bill. Well, yesterday, the creditor withdrew the entire amount from the bank account. The funds were there, so it was not returned. I called Chase (the card issuer) last night when I saw the transaction pending, and they said they couldn't help me since it was on autopay. I called my bank this morning, and they said they can't help me either since it is an ACH. They mentioned that I could possibly dispute it, but that process would take almost two months. Is there really no way to reverse that charge and pay them the minimum amount due instead? I got the card specifically to avoid impacting the cash flow and had a plan to pay it off while it was still interest-free. I genuinely did not know the amount Chase was going to deduct, it did not tell me when I set up Auto-Pay or anything. Am I just not talking to the right people, or is there really no way to assist me? ********* Update: Called Chase again and a manager helped me. She said since I didn’t have a minimum payment due, the option wasn’t there to pay minimum and that’s why I only had the “pay amount due” option. They are refunding me! And I don’t owe anything till August.

I just got an email that they're increasing premium from $38 to $60 in 60 days. Any suggestions on another insurance company?

I’m in shambles. A surgery out of network I was approved actually late last year is somehow now denied in network now? And the record of approval is nowhere to be found?? Literally saw it three weeks ago. I want to make sure this appeal hits the ball out of the park with all necessary info but it’s such an uphill mountain and I was so happy for a month and a half excitedly waiting for my surgery next month. Please help.

Today our new 2025 rav4 got rear ended by a driver. It has 5000 miles on it and we just took it to get its first oil change and were given a coupon for free carwashes for a year. Decided to get a wash once we were done. The carwash place is one with a conveyor belt type of thing that brings the car forward. The signs said to go into neutral and let the belt do everything so we did. Suddenly we get banged from the car behind us. The worker at the carwash stopped everything and said multiple times it was the driver behind us at fault. She didn't go into neutral and instead stayed in drive and accelerated, causing her to "jump" the grooves on the belt and hit us. She kept saying she had no idea what happened. Our car isn't seriously damaged from what we can tell, the back bumper will need replacing and above that is dented. The other driver's car was fine, go figure. I did ask the witness/employee at the carwash for his name and if he had footage. He said the corporate office would have it. I do have a front dash cam that doesn't really show much but you can hear a loud boom from the impact. I'm hoping and praying my insurance company can see it wasn't our fault. I know we have to get everything repaired before worrying about a diminished value claim. I'm just wondering how this will all work. We exchanged insurance info and we both have geico. I submitted the claim but how will all this work with trying to get a diminished value claim? Will geico just say no since they're kind of "going against" their own company to try to recoup our loss? Sorry I just don't understand what to do.

I'm a 38/f with 3 young kids. I did an online application for term life insurance (no exam) with Ladder for 750k/30yr. I have no medical issues other than familial high cholesterol controlled with statin, non smoker, no pre-existing conditions etc. They quoted me at 117 a month. I know no exam is generally higher than traditional, but this seems off to me. Is it me, or is this very high? Could the cholesterol be that much of a factor?

Like home and car insurance in California, looks like Umbrella premiums have gone through roof. Is that true for others in Cali? I'm with State Farm. $2M umbrella was a few hundred dollars last year; renewing now at $2400/year (no claims, no accidents, no lawsuits). 3 cars; 3 drivers. Own home. No pets, not much liability. Anyone else got this sort of increase year over year?

I (23, F) had my first pap smear this year and during the exam, the doctor ordered I have labs done as well. He collected my sample, but now I have a bill in the mail because the lab did testing. I am just so confused because I thought this would be covered since it’s part of my preventive annual exam. I am not sure what to do, should I call insurance or the lab who did the testing? Do I call the doctors office? Do I call insurance and ask to appeal? This is my first time navigating this and I’m not quite sure what to do.

I brought my 2022 Low Rider ST (model FXLRST) down to Florida for Daytona bike week, and unfortunately I was hit by a Ford E450 and my bike was totaled. When progressive calculated the motorcycle’s value they used JD Power and with “standard” equipment they said my motorcycle is worth $16,040. However, if I were to select “options” I’m able to select all standard equipment that isn’t optional and it increases my motorcycle’s value to ~$18,300. That’s a significant difference. The “optional” equipment in question are things like a full fairing, oil cooler, cruise control, high performance exhaust, security alarm, saddle bags, and a standard suspension. All those aforementioned features come on the bike straight from factory and are in fact not optional at all. They are as standard as A/C and AM/FM radio in any modern car. The bike just comes with that stuff and that price of those things are factored into the MSRP. This is completely separate from my accessory coverage to cover things like a custom seat, better headlamp, new foot pegs, flat out crash bar, etc… those are all aftermarket and wouldn’t count towards the base price. I’m aware of the difference and am not talking about those items. I’ve forwarded my bill of sale to show that none of those features were options that were installed at the time of purchase and any field adjuster could with the help of a service professional could identify every feature on the bike. So why is Progressive so confused? Where is the disconnect?

Someone hit my car. Air bags went off on one side and bumper poked the radiator. Bumper and hood are crumpled but it doesnt look like anything else is damaged. No broken glass, and I can see under the hood and everything else is fine. Its a 2019 but good mileage and was in perfect condition prior. Filed insurance claim. It was the other personsfaultbut of course they didnt have insurance. Realistically what is the outcome? Weve had progressive for years. No claims for atleast 5 years. Edit: sorry 2019 Jeep Cherokee

Last night I received a cancellation notice from progressive for “debris and hazards needing removal” and they said I needed a complete roof replacement. My roof is 13 years old but is in really good condition. No branches or leaves on it. No missing shingles. No hail damage or peeling. They didn’t even give me a chance to rectify the situation before sending me a refund check. The inspection report is bogus. The guy took the pics from the ground. I’m shopping around now but scared to get another denial by another inspector. I have high credit and pay everything on time. I have only ever had one claim and it was in 2024 and the adjuster said there was minor wind damage and we just needed to replace a few shingles which we did.
