Location: Indiana I have just been informed that my son's great grandma (who has never ever had her address used for our Medicare nor been approved to know anything about his or my medical info) has been receiving all of our Medicare information. I have over 5 letters for both him and I in regards to our benefit explanations, they even stopped his benefits and I had no idea!!! I'm upset because he has an upcoming appointment very soon for his 18 month check up and I don't even know if he will be covered by then. I have no idea how they even got her address. She recently moved, and I didn't even know her new address. But somehow, they have all went to her. I'm so confused as to how this has happened?! And I'm really mad that she had (if she chose to open the mail, but she did not open any of it) complete access to our information like that. What can I do about this? I plan on calling Medicare tomorrow but I really think this is a huge issue and I'm pissed honestly.

I have a almost 2 year doodle whom I just spent over 7K on for sugery to remove a sock.2 days after surgery the site got infected and the sutures ripped. I’ve been looking at pet insurance reviews but it all seems so overwhelming and it feels like the good and the bad are balanced. Currently i’m looking for a company that will pay up front which based on what i’m seeing that would be Trupanion as i’m constantly living in fear and has gotten extreme anxiety from always thinking he’s gonna swallow something again. I’ve always swiped out my savings to practically save his life. Any advice or help would be appreciated!!

Sorry this is a long story Late May 2024, my husband was rear-ended, his car totaled. We have full coverage, so we opened a claim with our insurance, the same evening as the accident. Police came to take report, which they found the other driver at fault. They included that my husband was injured but refused an ambulance. We went to urgent care the next morning and he was diagnosed with a concussion and told to not work or drive for a few days. The other driver claimed to have the same insurance company, but they were actually specifically written off the policy (some kid driving his dad's truck) so he's technically uninsured. We spoke to the insurance agent many times because we've never been in an accident and didn't know what to do or expect. We were compensated for the totaled car and mentioned we'd like pain & suffering to cover the missed days of work & such. And then we just left it alone, I assumed they would investigate and make an offer that would at least cover the missed work. After about 3 months, we got a notice that a new insurance agent was taking over. We explained that my husband had lingering brain fog from the concussion and had follow-ups with his doctor regarding it. Agent#2 sent an affidavit form to sign that we had no other insurance & medical release form for my husband to fill out. We had the paperwork signed & notarized, and both sent it by mail with the business return envelope given and uploaded it via a special link sent by the agent. Again, didn't hear anything for months. I wrote an email to ask if there would be a discussion about a settlement, again ghosted. Another few months pass and we've been transferred to a new agent. She wants to have a conversation, but at this point we're a bit fed up with all these conversations leading to nowhere. I asked if we could communicate by email so that there would be a record and heard nothing until today, when Agent#3 asked me to fill out the affidavit again. It's now been 9.5 months. I'm concerned about the length of time being taken to investigate my claim. I've answered every question I've been asked, signed every form. I've had 3 different agents. In each case when I ask about a settlement or offer, I get ghosted and then eventually passed along to the next person. I'm not quite sure what more is needed. I had many conversations with the first agent. Each time I emphasized, I'm new to being in a car accident, I don't know what's the norm, so now I'm beginning to feel like I'm being taken advantage of, like there is some bad faith going on with Progressive. I must say, I was pretty upset to see them ask for a form I've already sent months ago. Are we starting over again? I don't understand. I didn't get a personal injury attorney because this sub says you don't need one. What are we missing here?

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.

We live in LA and I've been looking at our homeowners insurance, which is through Bamboo. I fear that Bamboo is not great based on the fact that I've never heard of anyone else using it AND the reviews online are awful. I know so many companies no longer insurance LA... does anyone have recs? I've read about Amica, Chubb, Pure -- but they are more expensive (how much more)? Would love any advice!

I have a somewhat unusual situation. I live in FL and my roof is 18 years old. I have been with Geico for 4 years and I recently got my PMI deleted and when I called the mortgage company they said oh we have this partnership with this broker and could get you a discounted policy. Great, did that, saved about $900 for the year, new policy started mid Jan. I told the broker about the roof and didn’t want to switch until they confirmed it was OK and he said yes. Well I just got a cancellation notice for 4/1 due to some broken shingles so will only be with them for 2.5 months unless I submit repairs. I actually already had a few roofers come out earlier in the year. I contacted them and everyone said the repair vs replacement timeline would be about the same. So, I signed a contract for a replacement and permits were submitted a few days ago. They are going to try to get it done before 4/1 but can’t guarantee it. I submitted my contract to the broker and asked for a 30-60 day extension for the cancellation. Seems to me that it would be better to keep the policy on a brand new roof and not refund me the yearly premium around 4/1 if they can wait a month or 2 but whatever. Here is my question. Should I start contacting other companies now? Do I have to disclose the cancellation notice? Will they take notice to the fact that I was with one company for years and this new company for ~2 months. I don’t have any insurance claims on anything in the past 2 decades and that is a database they can search, correct?

Hi, i currently have All State for the one side of a duplex that i own. But they only cover up to the stud work. No structural. I've asked them numerous times how do i insure the structure but i get no real answer. How do i get structural insurance, foundation, frame, roof & then the rest MEP etc as the owner of one side of a duplex?

I got a BMW from Auto Trader in October. The garage I got it from was dodgy as fuck but the car seemed fine. After 3 weeks oil all over my drive way, since then been in and out with constant problems. (Engine coolant system failure, new control module, new turbo with new gaskets and turbo actuator). I took the car to my regular garage since the one I got it from was dodgy (I understand now this was a mistake), I phoned the original garage and since I never took it in to them they’re saying there’s nothing they will do. Since Christmas I’ve had the car for 13 days, have it a couple days then in the garage it goes, constant problems. None of this is my fault, the garage has confirmed this, I know how to look after a car. £4,000 roughly in garage costs. Plus the money i’ve been spending on finance etc on a car I do not have. Can anyone please give advice on anything I can do to be reimbursed on some of the money I’ve spend since none of this is my fault and the car is so recently in my possession. I have been in touch with finance company (Carmoola) just waiting for the final receipts from garage to forward them.

Anyone currently enrolled in TBL please be aware they have changed how they are "insuring" retired first responders and their families. We have filed a complaint with the Ohio board of insurance. They have changed our plans without giving us the option of deciding if it's how we want to be covered. They have changed what medications will be covered and how our providers will be paid.

Anthem blue cross blue shield is trying to charge my 20% coinsurance from the bill total rather than the allowed amount. Is this correct?
