I just had a pipe bust in my attic that flooded my home for about 40 minutes before it was stopped. It’s ruined the insulation in my attic, all ceilings in 80% of my home, the walls, and the baseboards. The adjuster (farmers) is saying the floors he believes are waterproof vinyl therefore took no damage and can be dried out. When they removed the baseboards i did go around and see the corners of the floors are peeling up and have water under. It is continuous throughout the whole house with no breaks. I tried to google and can’t find anything on this issue, has anybody dealt with this before? Can vinyl floors have no damage under? I’m a new home owner and I have little knowledge in this, thank you in advance!!

I opened my bank account yesterday and my jaw dropped to see a hefty bill of $519.67 from Healthy Paws!! I have been their customer for more than 10 years and they took care of my pets....They covered an expensive procedure about 3 years back and I felt nothing but grateful...Their claim submission process is very simple....No recent high amount bills from my end (just regular procedures in the last 2 years!!) ....I referred my friends to them...And I was a happy customer until today...I understand that companies sometimes need to increase their rate but to increase it by 323% !!! ... I am just sad and devastated...You value your kids'/pets' health more than yours...I just paid $160.49 a month ago..if they had to increase the rate to $200.00 or $215.00, I would have understood...But this rate hikes is truly unjustified...I am planning to report it...My heart is broken....I wanted to let people know..

My car was hit by someone who took responsibility for the accident. We went through their insurance company and took the car to the repair shop they recommended. While at the shop, they doubled the estimate of the repair work leaving the car disassembled, as the insurance company wanted to declare it a total loss. I told the insurance company to work out the financial settlement with the finance company, as the loan was still larger than the value. The finance company sent the insurance company a letter of guarantee and I signed the DNV documents transferring ownership to the insurance company. The insurance company then deducted the salvage cost from the settlement and said they would tow the vehicle to my home. This is not a vehicle I want or agreed to retain, as the vehicle is not currently drivable, and the effort to make it so is not in my best financial interest. They are attempting to force the vehicle back into my possession. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from forcing me to retain possession of the vehicle, given they have the signed documents necessary to transfer ownership once the lien is paid? This is CA and the insurance company is AAA. 

I've had this insurance for my great dane as soon as I adopted him at 1 yr 4 months. And it has suddenly quadrupled. I paid around $1k a year, unlimited, 80% reimbursement, and it was worth it due to random illnesses and injuries. When he hit 7 they doubled it to $2k a year (this year). We just moved from IN to CO and I got hit with an additional bill since now the premium is over $4k a year. Like what the hell is this?

Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance

I'm filing taxes for the year 2024 and I found out we had marketplace coverage that we didn't know we had. In 2023 my wife began the process of applying for marketplace coverage, but during the process told them she was no longer interested and that she wanted to cancel her application and for them to delete her information. We have now found out that they did not do that and instead completed the application and we were enrolled for the first 3 months of 2024 before my employer health insurance cancelled it. Is there literally anything that I can do? It doesn't seem right that we ended up enrolled for something my wife cancelled midway through the application process. For context, the reason she wanted to cancel was because the representative felt hostile and she had almost fallen prey to a handful of scams, and he kept rushing her to give him her personal information so he could finish. She felt his tone was more in line with scammers rushing marks to get the payoff and tried to terminate the interaction and the application immediately.

I have Allstate homeowners insurance in Southern California. I heard a noise in my kitchen a little while after I started my dishwasher so I went to investigate. I found my kitchen floors were covered in water. I finally realized it was a burst water inlet pipe underneath my kitchen sink. I’ve been trying to get a hold of my agent but he isn’t available today. I spoke to someone through Allstate and was told to call somebody out to mitigate damages. I’m afraid to have somebody come out and tear up my kitchen if the insurance is not going to cover it.

Thinking about moving my primary residence into a trust. However, I was grandfathered into a state farm home insurance very affordable for my location and I doubt I’ll be able to get my home insured since it’s now high fire risk since a map redraw. I am also thinking about moving my home under a trust. Does changing benefiacury of a home insurance incur a risk of losing my current policy (like separate underwriting is needed?)

Was hoping to get some insight before I call my agent. My $1 Million umbrella policy with State Farm has really gone up this past few years from $300 to over $1500 per year. So I started looking at it and saw the following: Automobile Liability: $500,000 Recreational Motor Vehicle Liability: $500,000 Personal Residential Liablility: $100,000 Watercraft Liability: $100,000 I don't know what a Recreational Motor Vehicle is. I have 2 cars used for commuting around town. I don't have an RV or Jeep for off-roading. So what good is that doing me? I don't have a watercraft. I consider watercraft to be a money pit and I'll never own one. I'm in Florida near the water, so maybe it's assumed I have a watercraft? I don't know. I feel like I'm paying for a bunch of insurance I don't need. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I have a very unique situation here lol. I am moving out of state where I will no longer need to use my vehicle. However, I don’t want to get rid of it and my girlfriend and I have planned to let her use it until her lease ends next year to move with me. So - the car is hers essentially in every way but legally and since I am still financing it I know I have to be on the auto insurance. However, the car is going to be used by her primarily and stored at her FL address. I explained the situation to GEICO and they said they couldn’t insure this situation since the car would not be stored at the owner’s address. Is this going to be allowed by any auto insurance or am I screwed aka need to find an alternative way to handle this situation? Thanks,
