Pretext: In michigan, 2019 Equinox. So the girlfriend rear ended a trailer, resulted in a decent amount of damage to the front end. Part of the damage was the axle being ripped out of the transmission, loss of fluid and all that goes with that. She files a claim, we take it to a preferred body shop that is a Cadillac dealer. Repairs were made, we pick it up after it’s ‘finished’. I am the one who picked it up and noticed almost immediately there are shifting problems that did not exist before the accident. Called the body shop and they said they would be the first step, so the car was parked and we went out of town for the 4th of July weekend, dropped he car back to the body shop the following Tuesday. Have waited this long for an adjuster to rule that it is not loss related due to it being internal to the transmission. And because he can’t see an impact to the transmission, it would not be covered. I understand it would be hard to prove the problem didn’t exist if it were left only my word. But Progressive won’t pay the diagnostic hours to find out what the problem even is. Am I out of line expecting more out of this? For a car that operated flawlessly before an accident, shouldn’t I expect the same after repairs? What should the next steps be? When I asked about an appeal process the adjuster said they’re really isn’t one, and two supervisors already agreed with him. Am I SOL?

Hello! First time posting in this sub, I think this type of post is allowed. Long story short, I purchased an auto policy through Geico in mid-July for a car I am being gifted. I realized the next day that I wasn't going to be able to take ownership for 3-4 weeks and ended up calling to cancel the policy. I called back today to restart the policy and they are quoting me $400+ more for exactly the same policy. Did I completely screw myself here? I told the agent I was going to shop around, which I am happy to do, but... what a pain. Is there a strategy I can use to have Geico honor the original quote? Thank you in advance!!

I bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado and I wrecked around the 1st of march I have full insurance coverage and my insurance has totaled my truck. I have had a couple of mechanic friends look at it. They are telling me that it only did a couple thousand dollars of damage. Yet the collision repair center said that it did a $9000 of damage. I told the insurance that I want to buy it back. But the insurance company is telling me that I have to pay $3700 out of pocket before they will let the truck go. I had full coverage insurance and I thought that they were supposed to pay it off first. Doesn’t the insurance company have to pay it off then send me the rest? Also I put a massive audio system in the truck. $300 alone in wire. They said that I need to put a factory radio In it before the take it back. Isn’t that a load of bs? Location: Claremore Oklahoma

I hope I'm in the right sub for this but I'm not sure, if there is a better place for this post please let me know. So I got into an accident that I was at fault, I do not have collision coverage, and I still owe about $19,000 on the vehicle. I asked my insurance and without coverage there is nothing they can do. It is not drivable and the air bags deployed. There is heavy front end damage but the rest of the vehicle is fine. I've only taken it to one shop for an estimate because I don't want to keep paying for a tow to get different quotes and they all end up being close to the same amount anyway. The estimate I got was $20,000 to fix it, so I'm not going to be able to afford that, and even if I could I don't see how that would be worth it. The car before the accident was probably worth $20,000 - $25,000 at most. (2022 KIA K5 GT LINE). I have pictures of the vehicle as well but wasn't sure if I was allowed to include those in the post. So as far as I see it, it's going to just sit somewhere until I pay off what I owe. So instead of paying a storage fee to keep it somewhere (my apartment doesn't allow vehicles that aren't drivable to stay in the parking lot), I want to either sell it or scrap it. Whatever I decide to do with it, I want the next tow to be the last. If I can make a little bit of money on it, great, if not then like I said if I can at least avoid a storage fee or paying to tow it several times that's a win for me. Anything I do make would go straight towards paying it off anyway. I'm already pretty screwed, paying on a car that I can't drive so I'm trying to see my options and cut my losses. I've gotten suggestions to declare bankruptcy, sell it, scrap it, keep it, sell all the parts individually, sell it as a whole for parts. A lot of the issue is, I don't think I can sell it, even to a salvage yard, without paying it off first, so what do I do with it until then? That's going to take a long time for me. I can't afford to fix it, can't sell it, scrap it etc. What do I do? And I understand I'm not going to make money on this, I understand I'm screwed either way, I understand that I will not financially recover from this for quite some time. So I'm just asking what is my best course of action to cut my losses as much as possible? Is there a way to sell it before paying it off? Do I need to let the lender know about the accident? Is there a different way insurance can help even though they said they can't? Is there a service or organization that helps with this sort of thing? Should I declare bankruptcy?

Basically myself and many many others have been scammed by this company. They have you pay the fee for diagnostics and then say they won't cover the item needing replaced. They offered me $500 for my washing machine replacement when the part alone for my machine was $2000. Here is a link to all the issues https://www.reddit.com/r/choicehomeclassaction/s/lijqv0C3xu Do we have a class action or should we all small claims court them? Who would I list (the ceo?) As the person on the complaint? They are already under investigation if you check the BBB website. Any advice or guidance would help. Location: Indiana

Ok, this is absolutely insane to me but coming here to see if anyone has any advice or thinks I'm overreacting. My dog's TLDR background: * almost 2 years old, GSD mix with cattle dog, pit, husky * has been exhibiting some intense anxiety (can't take him on walks) and sensitivity to noises (these send him into a panic) * our trainer noticed he had a head tremor when he was about 5 months old, but my husband and I never noticed it, neither did our first two vets. Our current vet noticed it + an eye tremor about two months ago and recommended we see a neurologist and get an MRI * Thankfully the MRI showed a normal brain but it did show an inner ear infection The MRI was almost $5k. I submitted it to Embrace and they DENIED it because they are saying his inner ear infection is related to his itchy skin that he had when we rescued him at 6 weeks old, and therefore falls under his pre-existing condition. The MRI wasn't to identify the ear infection, that's just something that happened to show up. The MRI was for his brain health to see if we could determine why his behavior has gotten so anxious and he's started showing aggression. I've included screenshots of their "reasoning" and it seems absolutely crazy to me. Has anyone experienced something similar or have advice on how to proceed?

Hello all, I am desperately trying to find health insurance coverage for my pregnant wife. She graduated college in December and went from a CNA to an RN with a start date of March 10th. Her HR told her that she would have a new open enrollment and that she could let her coverage lapse and gain new coverage when she started as an RN. This was before we knew she was pregnant and we were going abroad for a while and so we did not renew the insurance for 2025 thinking that we would just start it again in March. We thought that because she was still employed, there wouldn't be a waiting period for when she got her coverage but we found out today that she won't be covered until June. She is due in August so we definitely need tests done before June. We got denied on Pennie for a qualifying event (PA marketplace), short-term policies don't cover pregnancy, and I am under my mom's coverage so I don't have a policy she could come to. Please, if anyone has any insight into this, PLEASE help!

Based on the age old adage "price is what you pay value is what you get" what has been the best price vs service experience with auto insurance providers? I'm not looking for the cheapest insurer, however I am looking for the best user experience when you need to actually use your insurer's services. Context: I have been a loyal USAA customer for the past 15 years, and recently had a not so great experience when finally having to use their services. Today I submitted an online Roadside Assistance claim, never received follow-up communications, and when called I had automated voice response systems hang up. I have been paying top dollar every month justifying the expense by thinking when I need them I'll get unmatched"white glove service." Yet, today the service was meh. I always told myself I was paying for the best of the best, but maybe it's time to reevaluate

Not sure if I tagged this right, but basically I was covered by a MA ConnectorCare (CC) plan until January 31st of this year, and now I am covered by my employer's BCBS plan as of February 1st. I received my first Gardasil shot on January 31st, the last day my CC plan was active, but my doctor billed BCBS (I added it for my second shot on Feb 28th) and now I'm getting a $700 bill for the office visit and the shot because that coverage wasn't active yet. Is it possible to tell their billing department they need to retroactively bill the CC plan as that's what I was covered by on the date of service? I actually work at the office where I got my shots, and I have a pretty good idea of what my plan will cover with or without a copay, and this is not correct.

Hello, I have a few questions how to handle my PCP or Labcorp messing up with my insurance details. I had a bloodwork taken at my primary care and apparently they sent it to Labcorp. But Labcorp billed my insurance with the incorrect details apparently - my name and Member ID, group number are wrong. I got a mail in Feb asking for insurance details but the return address was not online on their website, so I thought it was phishing. I called the Billing department and asked them if they needed my insurance details, and they said "it is pending with insurance and there is nothing you have to do but wait". I don't have this call recorded. Today I got the invoice number and it says the below: "Reason for Bill: We attempted to file a claim with insurance. According to BLUES NJ: HORIZON BCBS, the patient name or subscriber number did not match their records. This balance is now the patient responsibility" I don't want this to impact my credit score but I don't want to pay $1000 since my PCP or they made mistake that I had nothing to do with. I will call them tomorrow morning but I have a few questions. 1. Since they dumped the responsibility on me, can I sort of force them to refile with insurance? What do I do if they refuse? 2. How long generally do I have to sort this out (not paying) so it doesn't impact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm just pretty pissed right now so apologies if I sound rude.
