I posted here a couple days ago about a stolen motorcycle (thank you all for reminding me not to commit fraud) and I called Geico about some questions I had. The told me I could get the collision and comprehensive policy right now, after the theft, and if the person who stole my motorcycle gets into a crash with a stationary object or another car and the motorcyclist is at fault I could be compensated. I got qouted for the coverage and it's $4,717.62! I paid $791.07 originally and the new total will be $5,508.69. I'm assuming since this policy covers the vehicle its more but $4,717.62 is absolutely crazy. I don't think I will be getting the policy at this point because of the depreciation on the bike makes it worth around $8,000 and the insurance would be almost half what the bike is worth. Even at rates of a new rider that seems fairly high. I apologize for the rant, QUESTION: Is this a normal quote for the policy on a motorcycle or is that something because I am a new rider?

**Odie is taking my monthly money and not holding up their end of the bargain.** I was switched to Odie from ManyPets when ManyPets sold and want the world to know: ODIE IS A SCAM. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN & DEF DON'T SIGN UP. Aside from the significant increase in monthly cost and 20k coverage limit on a previously unlimited plan, Odie is...nowhere to be found. My claims are not being processed, nobody answers the phone, the chatbot isn't responsive, and I literally cannot get any information. **I've filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau, providing screenshots of everything. Anyone else???**

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!!

Tl;Dr: Hertz overcharged me when renting a car. After customer service could not help, I opened a dispute, but on the wrong charge as I'm dumb. The dispute was closed and money returned to Hertz. Now they have sent multiple invoices requesting payment for this charge, and as of March 5 it has been sent to collections. Hey! So back in August 2024 I rented a car with some friends, to be picked up in San Francisco and returned to Las Vegas. We booked online and chose the extra insurance and have a layout of all charges in the initial email. We paid $350 CAD when booking. When picking up the car, we also added a secondary driver. The remaining $1680 was to be billed to the card already on file. When the email came through after picking up the car, I saw it was about $230 CAD above what I expected, but I assumed this was a damage deposit or something of the like. When we returned the car however, the final invoice was still about $230 above what I expected based on the initial booking invoice, plus the additional driver. This is also taking into account the charge for dropping off at a different location, the extra insurance, etc that was all listed in the initial email. Unfortunately, we dropped off the car late at night and flew home the next day, so there was no staff in the office to speak to. Fast forward a couple weeks, the two charges were posted and still remained, collectively, about $230 above what I was quoted, including the extras we chose. So I called Hertz. Customer support couldn't see any issue, but also said there was no manager present to speak to. They put in a request with their financial team to contact me. I was never contacted. A couple days later, I called again, and met the same result. I should have been more aggressive and demanded to talk to someone who actually knew how to look an invoice, but I didn't. Again I got them to request an email from the financial team. This time I did get an email from them, to which I replied and explained the situation.. And never heard back. At this point, I just opened a dispute with my credit card. Unfortunately, I still wasn't sure which exact payment was overcharged, so I opened the dispute on the initial booking fee of $350. This means that this amount is refunded back to me temporarily, pending the final results of the dispute. In hindsight, that was obviously not the way to go, but at the time I assumed they just didn't subtract the booking deposit from the final bill. However, this was incorrect, and by mid December, after Hertz replied to my bank, it was deemed to be incorrect as the overcharge had nothing to do with the booking deposit. The $350 was returned to Hertz on December 13th. They already have the money. However, in mid-January, I received an invoice in the mail from Hertz detailing that I owed $350, with an invoice date of December 29th. So two weeks after the money was already returned. Prior to this letter, I also called Hertz yet again, and finally got someone who felt sympathetic and refunded me the $230 I was overcharged. This was done through official channels as he sent the request to their financial team. I wish this had been the result at the beginning, but unfortunately here we are. Now I stupidly ignored this first invoice letter because I assumed that once their financial team did a year end balancing of accounts, the disputed amount of $350 would be seen to have been refunded back in December, and I just wouldn't hear from them again. However, that was not the case, I got another couple letters from Hertz. Two weeks ago, I emailed the address listed on this Hertz invoice, and explained, in rather pissed off terms I confess, the entire situation, and that the money had already been returned to Hertz. I made sure to iterate multiple times that they already had the money back that they were requesting. I got an email a few days later notifying me that my email had been forwarded to the Hertz collections team. I never heard any confirmation back from them. Now, today I received a letter in the mail from a collections agency stating that they have been given the charge and I have 3 days to pay or contact the office or it would be placed against my credit rating. However, this letter was mailed on March 5. And I checked the mail yesterday. It just got here today, 7 days passed their letter date. What is the best course of actions here? Realistically it probably isn't productive to hire an attorney to deal with a $350 collections charge. I will be calling the collections office today of course. But I wanted to get some advice from the fine people on here. I do not want my credit rating to be damaged. UPDATE: Spoke with the collections agent who handled this, and she hadn't gotten to processing my case yet. So my credit is safe for now. I sent her my credit statements as proof that the charge has been paid back to Hertz. She'll update me later after she forwards this to Hertz. If anyone has advice for how to handle this if for some reason Hertz doesn't back down, I would greatly appreciate it. Is it just a safer option to pay this charge, even if that means double paying them, rather than go through all the legal hassle? Like yes it's about the principle of not letting a company walking all over you with no recourse, but at the end of the day, I don't want to hurt my credit rating or have to deal with thousands in legal fees with no guarantee it'll be covered if Hertz settled.

A couple of weeks ago my partner was in a car accident that was his fault. He is going through our insurance (AAA). The financed car was totalled. After talking to insurance, they stated that due to him being upside down on the loan, he is responsible for the entire loan balance due to not getting gap insurance. I know he should have gotten it, but he chose not to. Shouldn't our insurance cover the fair market value of the car and he owe whatever the difference is? Checking our insurance, we have Collision "Actual Cash Value Less Deductible."

Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. Recently was in an accident which I was not at fault. I have a luxury vehicle that was fully paid for. State Farm totaled my vehicle. My issue is the amount they want to settle my claim for is substantially less than what I think it should be or was expecting. Do I have to accept that? Is my only recourse to file a lawsuit? I live in Wyoming BTW. Thanks for any help or advice!

I purchased Lemonade insurance for my mother’s dog last year because she thought he was having seizures. However he wasn’t. I put his age as the same as my dog. Because that is what I truly thought it was and he’s actually 8. Back story we “inherited” him and really didn’t know his age so truly was a guess. Anyways fast forward to this past week. He became very ill and has had to spend the last 3+days in the emergency vet cost approx 7k and now I’m have a full blown panic that because the ages don’t align they going to completely null and void my policy and not cover any of his medical bills

Hey guys, im a 24 year old male living in Ontario and just got hit with a complete blindside. I’ve been insured on multiple vehichles through different companies since 2018, no tickets, pullovers or anything. I just bought a new truck and found out when getting quotes that I have 2 at fault accidents on my record. The first was July of 2021, my 67 mustang hit a pothole and caused some minor damage to the fender. I called intact and asked some questions and they said the only way I would get any money towards repairs is if I put it through as an at fault-after hearing this I said no thanks and paid it myself. They never said anything about this going on my record, the whole point of me paying out of pocket was to avoid this. The second was on my truck in Feb 2024. I was in Colorado and my brother needed to move my truck out of the driveway, it was late at night and a neighbour was parked somewhere it was hard to see and he bumped into it. My truck was fine and I was away so I didn’t deal with any of it directly but my brother used his personal insurance to pay out the damages but this is on my record as at fault for me. Is there anything I can do to get this off the record? I’ve talked to so many insurance agents who just shrug and say they won’t insure me and that the circumstances don’t matter. I’ve had insurance since I was 17, paid over $25,000 since then and cost insurance companies $0 and they won’t insure me.

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. 

Ok, progressive is sending me a massive rate hike for next month, and i've had it. I need the literal cheapest option, for insurance prices , here in CA. Its insane. I cant pay 1000 a year for a crappy car, so i need the affordable answer. Hope someone has answers out there. hope.
