I have comprehensive and liability coverage for my Class C RV through Safeco.The coverage is for full-time RV living. We've had a couple things happen. First, we had a tire blow out. This caused damage to the door to the LP tank, the shelf that holds the LP tank, and it literally blew a hole into our RV. It didn't cause any frame damage and the hole is in a location that doesn't make it a safety risk (it's under some drawers). When this happened, I didn't even think about insurance and that would continue for a while (mea culpa, I was really sick at the time). Fast forward a month. We'd just gotten onto I-90 near Utica NY when the bolts for one of our tires sheared off. We had to get towed and the next day the tire itself was fixed. There was some minor structural damage to the RV (cracked mirror oddly enough, a couple of dings on the back end) but then also began having cascading electrical issues: I can't confirm at this time but I think one of the bolts damaged something, most likely the RV's inverter. So I submit the claim for the tow, the repair to the tire and electrical damage, plus the damage for the tire blowout. We spoke to the adjuster the same day and she told us we should take the RV in for an estimate. We did that and the person who did the estimate told us that the insurance company would try to low ball us. Which they did. The adjuster knew we were getting an estimate as she'd asked us to. Meanwhile, they had their own estimator come up with some figures based entirely on the pictures that I submitted. And yeah, lowball they were - $1700 for the blowout damage and about $3500 for the damage when the bolts sheared on the tire. Each amount was less my deductible. That was yesterday. I sent the adjuster a text and told her the figures were very low, the labor rate alone was half what it should be, and the estimates seem to have some issues from the tire blowout damage and from the bolt shearing mixed up, so one of the estimates has some of both. No response. I know the company we went to submitted their estimate yesterday. But today, Safeco paid out based on their estimate. And they sent the payment to a random address that has no connection to me. I did email the adjuster and told her this isn't acceptable, it's not even based on an estimate by someone who has *looked* at my RV, and you send it to some address I've never heard of. I don't expect a response to that, either. So beyond the address issue, what are my options here? My RV is barely driveable and I live in it. I'm positive that the amount of damage to it is more than it's worth (it's an older RV). I am really discouraged at this point.

I’m 23 buying my first car. It’s a generic 2007 Pontiac wave and I want to do uber eats with it. I got a quote from Intact and he said it would be $800 down and $500 and change a month. This feels insanely high, even for commercial insurance. Any advice? Edit: I am a new driver so i understand it’s going to be a bit higher.

I am trying to move my HSA out of Fidelity for a previous job, since they will start charging fees. When I tried to open a Lively HSA, I got this message. Has anyone else run into this before? Any theories why I might be getting this? \--- Thank you for reaching back out to us. After careful consideration by our accounts team, we have determined that we will be unable to open an account for you and have no further information we can provide. There is no further need to contact us about this as our decision is final. We consider this issue closed and will not be responding further. Thank you for considering Lively, we truly wish you the best at finding another HSA provider. EDIT: I just contacted Fidelity, there are actually no fees! I'll be keeping it as it is.

Hi everyone, I got to this forum after seeing some "NW mutual life insurance is a scam" posts and i'm not sure if I got scammed. I was in medical training when a financial adviser told me about getting disability and life insurance.. with NW mutual... I'm 35 years old, very healthy, I pay about 87$ for 2M Term to 80 policy with no annual dividend. And my premium for disability is $110.. Looking for advice if I should switch to a different broker (if thats an option) or just general advice.

When we adopted our dog (now 6 years old and 44 lbs, a mix of at least 5 different breeds) we took out what I considered to be a “catastrophic plan” to insure her and help us avoid difficult healthcare financial decisions when she grows old, or sooner (though hopefully not). The policy has a $1,000 lifetime deductible per injury/illness and no maximum benefit. When we took out the policy it was $25.03/month. It is now up to $57.15/month. A 128% increase over 6 years feels pretty steep, especially when she’s statistically speaking less than 1/2 of her way through her expected lifespan. Should I be regularly shopping around the same way one does with auto or homeowners insurance, or are the chances that I will find a better value now that she’s 6 low? I remember reading when I took out the policy that with pet insurance it’s better to insure early when the dog’s health risk is very low to “lock in” a low rate and picked Trupanion because at the time they advertised modest premium increases being a feature that differentiated them among their competitors. I don’t feel like 128% over 6 years is modest, and if the increases continue to increase at the accelerated rate they have been doing so, I feel like it may be worth surveying the field to see what else is out there. I like her coverage and feel that it works for our financial situation. (We are fortunate that we can afford regular wellness visits and any unexpected medical items < $1,000). TIA!

I got the preventive care option which meant I had a 0 day waiting period for accidents and preventive care. My dog got his teeth cleaning and, preventive anesthetic bloodworksoon after. I submitted the claim but the denied it, saying it was an illness. He never had an illness for it bwfore and didnt have any symptoms for the bloodwork. Can I appeal? Please help it was $1500

I've had two rate increases in a year's time, increasing in total about 64%. Has calling to reduce helped anyone? This is honestly crazy, and their vague emails with arbitrary reasoning is incredibly frustrating. September '24: $74.57 to $91.77 September '25: $91.77 to $121.58

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’ve been a Geico customer for probably 15 years. I think I paid $60 a payment when I signed with them, the latest new rate almost $200. I moved recently to Queens, NY which they say boosted the cost but this increase is insane. I haven’t had a speeding ticket in decades. Any companies offer better rates!?

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!
