Don’t trust this company! We had our mortgage insurance one year from 2170 to the following year 4340! Double! Well our dwelling went from 356,000 to 375,000.

Attaching the response(s) from Healthy Paws' CEO and team, including mine back. You can't make this stuff up.... Original context: Protected Since: 06/08/2011 • Current Monthly Premium: $431.58 • New Monthly Premium Starting in 63 Days: $1,207.12 Oh- and they limited comments on their Instagram after I have been posting this increase there too.

Not really sure the best place to post this question. My health insurance fully covers labwork, which I confirmed with them prior to getting an MMR immunity test earlier this month. As in they couldn't find anything in my coverage about specific tests because I have 100% coverage. So day of my appointment imagine my surprise when the phlebotomist at my doctors office says I owe $40 to quest for the lab work(in addition to my $25 copay that I paid at the front desk). I thought it was weird, but figured I'd get a refund when I got my EOB. So I hand over my debit card, she enters the info on her computer, draws my blood, and then I go on my way. Today I get the EOB for that visit and it says, as expected, I shouldn't have paid anything for that visit. So I check both my bank accounts only to find there is no $40 charge for Quest anywhere. And then I remember the same thing happened in January with Labcorp. I went to a physical Labcorp location for bloodwork ordered by my dermatologist, they said I owed some amount upfront, I handed over my card, then when I got my EOB it said I owed nothing, but when I checked my bank statements there wasn't a charge from Labcorp at all. Nothing the day of, and nothing on subsequent days for a refund. What is happening? Are they somehow able to void the charge so that it completely disappears from my bank statements when it turns out my insurance fully covered it? In the future I'm going to be getting screenshots of any posted charges(and asking for a receipt), just to prove I'm not losing my mind. If they didn't charge my card on the day of my appointment, would they have charged it later upon learning I did owe something. Can they even legally charge my card at a later date, or would they have to send me a bill in that situation? With the Labcorp charge I thought maybe I'd misremembered paying because I've been getting lab work there for years and never even had to stop at the front desk. My insurance at work did change from UHC to BCBS this year, but our coverage stayed the same. But I know for sure I handed over my debit card to the phlebotomist at my doctors office and watched her enter the card information on her computer. Though I don't remember if I got a notification of the charge on my banking app. Do I still have to keep giving them my card if I know my insurance fully covers lab work but for some reason they are lying and saying I owe money upfront and then the charges are vanishing?

I got a much better quote from New York life insurance for a life policy then my current State farm policy. It's my busy season of work and I was hoping to be able to docusign or just cancel over the phone. I was told I need a wet signature which means I'll have to take off a day or half off work. Part of me wants to just cancel my auto and home policies as well with them over this. Are they just being difficult with me or is this standard with State farm?

So I have auto insurance with All State here in Canada and I was provided a questionnaire for my renewal term which I filled out. All state says to fill it out otherwise there’s penalties and whatnot so I fill it out. They increased the premium on my last monthly payment before renewal and aren’t budging because we sent the questionnaire that they asked for before we paid the last payment so now they’re counting it as a policy change which is stupid. I work as an actuary in auto insurance and I’ve never dealt with this sort of stuff. What should I do?

Location: Michigan - Just wondering if this is an appropriate thing for small claims and wanted to hear some opinions as I've never sued anyone before or have been involved in small claims. I was in a car accident on March 11. I was not the driver at fault. The other driver involved in the accident was cited for failure to stop (she rear-ended me at a stop light), no driver's license, and for not wearing a seat belt. Her insurance was listed on the police crash report as LA Insurance. Come to find out, she did not have that car insured at the time of the accident. I called LA insurance, and several other companies under that franchise, and found her name and policy, but she had a different vehicle insured and not the one involved in the accident. My insurance company reached out to her, didn't receive a response, and ran the VIN on the vehicle she hit me with, verified that the car was in her name, but did not find an insurance policy attached to the vehicle. I told the police department this and they will be updating the police crash report. Subsequently, I can't file a claim with her insurance because she doesn't have any. I have been encouraged to sue her in small claims court. My car was basically totaled in that accident (it was also an older used vehicle with 197,000+ miles on it), so I leased a new vehicle. Can I ask to receive at least the down payment I put down on that new vehicle? I'm also going to ask for storage fees of having my car at a repair shop as well as the fees to file with small claims. I did have items stolen from my vehicle while it was at that repair shop, but I don't have a dollar amount for them so I don't think it would be appropriate to put those in the small claims case. But I'm really just wondering if asking for the amount I paid as a down payment on a new vehicle would be appropriate. Like I said, I have never done this before. Advice is greatly appreciated!

Got a quote from GEICO like around a week ago for 299 and month for full coverage, it’s the cheapest one I found compared to other insurance companies charging me 2x that at 18 I called GEICO and ran through the quote with him for a 2022 Hyundai Elantra limited he said it will be 304. That car ended up getting sold I found a new car I wanted clean title not a rental 7k miles 2024 Hyundai Elantra sel I got quoted $299 for it last week. Now I did another quote for the same car it’s all the same info I had last week and now it’s at $540 a month. I called and the GEICO guy said “rates can go up” and I highly doubt they go up $250 in a week. He did say my $299 quote sounded unrealistic and they whouldnt quote that when I literally have the saved quote on my GEICO app. I’m just wondering is this normal? And I can still buy the $299 a month quote right now since I did save it but I am scared they will raise my insurance prices to 550 a month after the 6 months. I do have screen shots of both quotes but just can’t add them. Should I buy the $300 a month quote since it’s the cheapest I found or will GEICO raise my rates after 6 months.

Progressive, Northern California, 5 driver/5 car policy. I’m mostly remote now at work and sold my car for a local commuter. With the new car, my annual mileage estimate went down by 5k miles per year. The car is dirt cheap, so I opted for liability only coverage. I thought I was going to save $1000 per year, but my rates stayed almost the exact same. What’s going on here? Would talking to an agent on the phone change anything?

With all the posts regarding Healthy Paws rate increase I was worried about my renewal. I am happy to saw that I just received it and it has not increased. It is staying the same at the moment. However, I will wait to see because a couple years ago there was a discrepancy and in August they sent me a new notice increasing me by $20. Fingers crossed that does not happen again. I was expecting a huge increase living in NYC.

I filed a claim with my insurance company (Liberty Mutual) for wind damage to my roof back in early January. Now it's late March, and I still haven’t received a decision. The adjuster is not responding to my calls or emails. Meanwhile, my roof is in bad shape. I’ve had multiple roofers take a look—some warned that roofing material prices will increase 6–10% after April 1st (I confirmed this independently). I'm torn: should I go ahead and replace the roof now, or wait for the insurance company to respond? **Background:** * I live on the southeast of MA, where we had multiple wind advisories and high-wind warnings through Jan/Feb. * My roof is over 20 years old. After one windy day, I found shingles (including ridge shingles) in my yard. The attic started leaking during rain/snow, so I had to build a makeshift water catchment system. * I contacted two roofers. One said it looked like clear wind damage and advised filing a claim. * I filed the claim, and per the insurer's request, I had temporary tarps installed by the same roofer who suggested filing a claim. * The adjuster and their inspector came, acknowledged the damage, but said it wasn’t wind-related—claiming it looked like "mechanical" damage. They seemed skeptical of the roofer I hired(4.8+ rating with years of view history on google). * Waited another 2 weeks, they brought in a third-party engineer, who inspected the roof and told me he believed it *was* wind damage and saw no signs of mechanical damage. He submitted his report to the insurer. * Since then, another week passed. I contacted the engineer, who confirmed the report was sent, but said I’d need the insurance company’s approval to view it( so no access to the report). It’s now been over 10 weeks. I can’t wait much longer with such a vulnerable roof, especially with prices going up. I understand it’s an old roof, and some might argue insurance shouldn’t cover it. But it was functioning fine until the storm, and I *do* have replacement coverage. (Also worth noting—my premium is over $2,800/year.)
