Have an issue with your insurance?
Let everyone know!
Insurance companies are constantly reviewing us. Are we too old? Do we live in the wrong place? Is our credit score high enough? Well, now it's time to turn the tables. Do you charge too much? Will you pay my claim quickly? Is your coverage worse than it seems? We can review you too.
ASPCA Pet Insurance - ASPCA Pet Insurance is a scam! Beware!
After months of insurance I finally needed to go to the vet. Submitted a claim. They wont reimburse anything saying its all pre existing but it never happened before! Beware!
State Farm - State Farm Nightmare
I was rear ended in January and filed a claim with state farm
The girl who hit me was in her fathers car which had state farm, liability coverage she has dairyland with full coverage.
I am a State Farm customer (not after this) and was assured that this matter would be settled quickly. I was told by my first adjuster that my car was a total loss, since my car was newer that it would exceed her father’s liability coverage and they would open a claim with dairyland on my behalf to get the rest. They complete the estimate, do not contact me on what their assessments were and also changed my adjuster without contacting me whatsoever with my new adjusters contact information. I had to find this out on my own by calling after hearing nothing for two weeks after the estimate was complete. They said “maybe” my settlement would be 8k flat for reasons they seem to not be able to answer, they haven’t even offered me a settlement by this point. They said they valued my car at 11k. Which honestly would be a joke if it is 8k. I talked to my adjuster on Thursday and she is reading my information on my policy and for whatever reason State Farm has put that I have dairyland as my insurance on my claim.
I feel at this point my claim has been handled with complete negligence and I am at a loss on what to do, I genuinely would like to move on with my life as this has caused me a lot of emotional and psychological distress.
What are questions I could ask to understand this process more, or get traction with? Why would they open a claim on my behalf just to tell me to “do it myself” later on?
I have never been in a wreck like this before so this is just another learning experience, but I do not feel as if my claim is being handled properly or correctly. Any advice would be appreciated, also please don’t be rude as I am already going through enough with this debacle.
Lemonade - Any advice on how to deal with a probable rejection that will likely result from inaccurate vet notes?
I've had pet insurance with Lemonade going on five years for my cat. I just had to submit a claim for her, but I'm super worried I'm going to get a rejection because the nurse took inaccurate notes. When we were discussing my cat's history, I said that her chronic gastrointestinal issues started after her first attack of pancreatitis 'shortly after she was adopted.' The nurse instead noted that her chronic gastrointestinal issues started 'right after adoption.'
I'm super worried that this will lead to my claim being rejected and my former claims being marked as fraud. Her issues didn't start until about 3-4 months after I got her vet insurance, and that was after the illness waiting period had passed. They covered her pancreatitis when it occurred in March 2021, and I adopted her in November 2020. Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare for the rejection which I assume is coming? Is the only thing I can do is ask the company to review her old vet records and see how they don't line up with what the nurse typed before that moment? Any advice is welcome!
Allstate - All State
So I have auto insurance with All State here in Canada and I was provided a questionnaire for my renewal term which I filled out. All state says to fill it out otherwise there’s penalties and whatnot so I fill it out. They increased the premium on my last monthly payment before renewal and aren’t budging because we sent the questionnaire that they asked for before we paid the last payment so now they’re counting it as a policy change which is stupid. I work as an actuary in auto insurance and I’ve never dealt with this sort of stuff. What should I do?
State Farm - Is this normal?
State Farm raised my insurance from $180 a month to $340 over the span of 6 months. Very little and random explanations. My car is 10 years old, it’s insane. P.s. anyone know of good and not stupid expensive insurance in Los Angeles?
Principal - Rollover 401k to Traditional IRA
I have a 401k with my previous employer at Principal. Principal also added $15 into a Roth IRA (unbeknownst to me). This is causing problems.
I would like to roll over the 401k into my Traditional IRA at a different financial institution. Principal is charging $50 as a distribution fee. That's fine. However, they are charging an additional $50 distribution fee to rollover the $15 Roth IRA. When I go through the forms to do the rollover, Principal errors out telling me I can't rollover because "You requested a distribution amount that's greater than the maximum amount available."
I am feeling very trapped by Principal and these feels extremely shady. Any advice to get through this?
Healthy Paws - Healthy Paws rate increase
I DO NOT RECOMMEND this pet insurance company if you hope and expect your dog to live a full life.
My dog is now 11 and had a cancer issue that was successfully taken care of 2.5 years ago. And I am 69.
I just received a rate increase from $83/month to $216/month. That’s a $133 month increase. Triple my monthly rate.
Healthy paws suggested I lower my rate by increasing my deductible. Or lower my reimbursement rate. Any way I calculate it, it basically comes out to cost me the same. And the cost would be prohibitive to go somewhere else at this point.
I WOULD NEVER HAVE CHOSEN THIS COMPANY IF I KNEW THEY WEREN’T IN IT WITH ME FOR THE LONG HAUL.
They were hoping my dog would die before they took a hit on their profits with my dog.
The rep told me there’s nothing they could do for me. I told her it was easy to triple my rate. It should be equally easy to lower it back down.
She said no.
Citizens - When does Citizens cover water damage under HO3 policy?
Hi. I have an HO3 policy with Citizens in Florida and I’m trying to understand in what situations they would actually cover water damage since the reps, my insurance agent or adjuster are not able to clarify this. I have a water damage under my flooring, but again neither the field adjuster, water mitigation company, nor the leak detection specialist have been able to find the exact source of the leak. Insurance wants to send out an inspector who I assume would work in their favor. I’m trying to prepare in case they deny my claim and I need to bring in independent specialists to help me figure it out. I have vinyl flooring installed on top of hardwood floor, and noticed a soft spot so I removed part of the vinyl and found rotten wood. I've never noticed any water on top of my flooring.
From what I understand, Citizens excludes gradual leaks and seepage, but they have a clause that covers hidden water damage if it was unknown and concealed beneath floors, behind walls, or in ceilings. I’m wondering how that actually works in practice. Since there's no known active leak it must be caused by something situational, hidden or accidental spill. I'm having a hard time determining the fine prints since it gives conflicting information. I've included a few pages from my insurance declaration related to water damage in link below:
https://imgur.com/a/sc50G9K
Would Citizens cover situations like:
- Moisture buildup under flooring due to a failed vapor or moisture barrier?
- An AC leak inside the walls over time from a pipe failure or faulty installation?
- Sporadic leaks from an air handler that was poorly installed?
- A cracked condensate line or even a sewage pipe leaking beneath the slab?
- Water spilled sometime in the past which got under the floor?
Has anyone had Citizens approve a claim for something like this, or did they deny it as a maintenance issue? If they did cover it, what kind of evidence did you need to provide?
I want to be ready in case they push back on the claim. It's been over a month already and I am not able to get the renovations started since adjuster wants me to keep it as is for now. On top of that the adjuster wanted me to keep the damaged flooring (with mold) bagged indoors. And he also advised that we live home since the mold did not seem to be a big issue from what he was able to tell from the photos (despite water mitigation company saying that it was over 10sq ft and asked that we find temporary stay since we have a small child until they send a higienist, which they did not get an approval for from adjuster)...
I would really appreciate your help. Thanks
State Farm - Looking for new carrier
I have State Farm and pay about $750 monthly for my several cars and teenager.
Every carrier I quoted with (the major ones that everyone knows)
All wanted $1,100 or more per month for exact same coverage.
These people are crazy!!!
The $750 I think is already too high. 3 cars, 1 truck, 2 adults and a teen. No accidents, tickets, or claims for anyone, ever.
Going to try a local broker tomorrow. Maybe they can help. Are other people seeing the same crazy differences when getting a quote? Any good experiences using a broker and anything I should watch out for? Never used an independent broker.
Aetna - Reverse a processed claim - Aetna
I got a MRI done two weeks ago. When I scheduled the appointment the staff told me they didn’t know the amount to be billed since my insurance is a high yield deductible and no copay. They mentioned that if I want to pay out of pocket without using my insurance it would be $500.
Fast forward I received a processed claim from Aetna saying that I need to pay $920 and that the X-ray company billed them $1,200.
Is there any way to reverse this? I feel scammed by both the X-ray company and Aetna. Can I fight back a processed claim?
