I’ve tried meds and special bland food and the dog is still scratching excessively. I got a quote for testing at like $1500 plus a $300 consultation fee. Was wondering if anyone knows if this is covered. When I called nationwide they were very vague, saying it depends and they can’t guarantee if it’s covered. Smh

I have Aetna DMO, and I am constantly being overcharged for things. It started with the dentist recommending a deep cleaning even when I knew for sure that I didn't need it. I still paid because I thought it was better than letting my teeth worsen. Then the dentist tells me I need 2 inlays. The insurance says they should cost $115, but the dentist's very rude receptionist mentions that they use Emax only, which is a $750 upgrade. It makes no sense to be paying so much for these treatments, and for all I know, I may not even be needing them. What is a good solution for me at this point? Just go to a well-reviewed dentist and pay them cash for this? Or can I maybe get external insurance myself? But I doubt any external insurance will be as good as what my employer is already offering. (Aetna DMO)

Location: Texas Mind you we have been a returning customer for the last 9 years to the same salesman at the same dealership. He has always gone above and beyond with taking care of us with exceptional customer service to the point of even driving 2hrs to deliver our last leased vehicle in our driveway. So now the dilemma; we recently returned 2022 lease and signed a new lease for a 2025 at Infiniti dealership February 1st. After all the paperwork is completed we get keys for 2025 vehicle and drive home. Fast forward to February 22nd I see the reoccurring payment of $975 from the old 2022 leased vehicle. Then on 26th another one for $1130 for new 2025 lease which was expected. Wife contacts salesman and says he will look into it with Infiniti finance department. After a couple of days he tells us that Infiniti finance for the old lease had not yet received dealership check for the vehicle payoff, then proceeds to tell us after they receive it we would be receiving a reimbursement check in the mail “around” the same amount of $975 from old lease that we are no longer in possession of. Wife contacts Infiniti finance and they basically tell us that the dealership is at fault and it’s out of their hands. Now we are in April and salesman telling us he will get with GSM, but GSM is somehow always busy (out of office at auctions, yadda yadda). We have yet to receive the “check” or any further information on the matter from dealership. This our 4th vehicle through this dealership with no issues at all and now this. What route do I take? Anyone else ever have this problem? Do I take legal action over $975?

Car Came In Contact With Pedestrian Hello All, I would just like some community input. My mother a few days ago was driving her car in Queens, NYC, she was going about 18mph, when a pedestrian backed into traffic and came in contact with her car and was taken away by Ambulance, No damage to my mother's car and she was not injured. NYPD came and took a report and my mother's insurance. Other party literally hired an "Ambulance chaser" the next day. In the NYPD report they state what the pedestrian said, "pedestrian pulled over her car at body shop to be looked at, she stated she opened the hood and a splash of water spewed out and startled her and she jumped backwards" (NYPD did not witness the accident and I am aware the police report does not determine fault in accidents just criminal liability, but the report is used as a tool). My mother didn't have a dash cam (lesson learned), my mother also says that someone saw a security camera footage of thr incident. I just wanna know how screwed is my family since my mom has her car and house to worry about and now this? *Note* My mother works for the USPS and was on the clock at the time, she just drives her car to a central location on her route and then walsk her route. I already knew State Farm would deny the claim cause my mother was on the clock. They advised the other party to file a tort claim with the USPS. *Note, the USPS is not as transparent with its employees or customers. So I have very little faith in how this process will be handled since my mother was working at the time. Thank you all for your input.

I emailed Geico to cancel my auto insurance policy on Wednesday and sent them proof that the car was disposed of. I asked for a prorated refund backdated to the date of disposal. I haven't received any email confirmation or anything as of Sunday. I can’t do this online because they don’t allow backdating online. How long should I wait before calling?

Last month, I was unfortunately the victim of identity theft and a scam. A scammer from Nigeria hacked my social media accounts, emails, and phone number. Worst of all, they somehow withdrew $3,000 from my checking account and spent it on cryptocurrency. At one point, they even asked me to send them nudes, which was terrifying. As you can imagine, I have been severely traumatized by this violation. I immediately filed a police report and contacted my bank to report the fraudulent transactions. Despite submitting supporting documents—such as emails showing my passwords were changed and login attempts were made from Nigeria while I live in the U.S.—Bank of America has denied my claim twice, insisting that I authorized these charges based on my purchase history. What’s most frustrating is that I have never purchased cryptocurrency in my life, so I am insulted to be accused of stealing my own money. As a young college student, $3,000 is a huge amount, and I feel furious and helpless. I am considering filing a claim with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but I’m unsure if they can help me recover my money. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to hire an attorney. What are my options? How can I get compensated? I feel betrayed by the bank I’ve been with for 10 years. If anyone has experienced something similar, please let me know.

Insurance company sent an inspector. Contractor said roof is in amazing condition but there's always a but, since the roof is over wooden shakers it has to be replaced!!!! My agent is a total pain, she just says get it done, sure no problem because I have dam neat $16,000 to do this.🥺

I'm shopping around for car insurance. I'm 38F and never had anything but State Farm, but I was rear ended in an accident last year and had a mostly bad experience dealing with customer service and claims. My parents had a life insurance policy for my mother. When she passed away the office somehow marked me as the deceased party, which also lead to me having to "prove" that I was not dead. Keeping in my mind my mother and I share a last name and had our insurances at the same office/broker, but we have completely separate policies. When I told the agent that is what happened, she was combative even though the date of the change corresponded with my mother's death. After my accident, there were significant delays in getting my payment because of some issues they were having with setting up digital payments for me. All around bad experience with customer service and claims who were not empathetic or helpful. When I switched my insurance to a new agent's office for my new car, they put the incorrect financing information on my policy. Had to call several times to change. Realized that they had the wrong mailing address and garage address, even though I had also changed these. I, no joke, had to call on four separate occasions to try to change my garage address. They kept telling me it would be reflected on my policy within a month, but when I checked, my old garage address was still there. Conveniently, my rate at my new address is cheaper. I will say prior to the past couple years I had great experiences with State Farm. It seems lately to have maybe gone down hill, and I am a pretty dang patient person. It's not all about price for me either. I'm happy to change to somewhere with better service even if slightly more expensive. Does anyone actually have a car insurance company they can recommend based on good experiences and/or customer service?

I am a SF policyholder that was rear ended by an AllState customer. I opened a claim with SF because I wasn’t sure of the Allstate customers limits and also wanted to use my PIP coverage from SF versus dealing with Allstate. That was an incredibly bad decision on my part. Allstate has done an OUTSTANDING job of handling my claim even though I am not a customer. They paid for 21 days of rental car within two days of me submitting my receipt. Allstate has been responsive by email and phone. SF on the other hand has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had. No response to emails, calls are routed to first line customer service that has zero knowledge and just submits a request or ticket to the actual claims handlers. My medical bills are going unpaid and now into collections, the hospital claim is sitting unhandled and the subrogation on the body damage is somewhere out in the ether waiting for one of the mystery claims handlers I can’t contact to handle. Jesus, my first claim with SF in over 30 years of being a policyholder and they treat my like a red headed step child and Allstate, who has no customer relationship with me, is johnny on the spot. What a sad state of affairs that is SF. I have no idea how to get SF to move and handle their responsibilities short of a complaint to the Insurance commission. Is this the way it is with SF now?

After all these years, it still grinds my gears. A truck carrying drilling waste accidentally went into the wrong farmer's field, and sprayed a tiny bit of it on the alfalfa field, before the driver realized his mistake. I was called in to analyze the soil test data and write a report and recommendations. The tests showed salinity deep in the soil profile, that couldn't have possibly come from the drilling waste, and I said so in my report. I was called to a meeting with the insurance adjuster and had to endure a thorough dressing down for it (by a British accent no less) and made to look the fool in front of my peers. The insurance company was far more inclined to spend dozens of millions to excavate all the soil and have it replaced instead. That was my first inkling that insurance companies don't really want to avoid big payouts; they use them to justify raising their premiums.
