State farm sent me a letter saying they weren’t going to renew my policy due to my dad’s driving record, mentioned said claims and one accident that he was in and that I had to switch by April. My parents and I have different agents and I have my own policy but I think our policies are tied together somehow? Anyway, I asked my mom if they had finally switched and she said no, that their agent didn’t see such claims on their end and were able to remain with State Farm. My parents never used the roadside assistance that State Farm claimed in the nonrenewal letter so what the hell.Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’ve already switched insurance but I’m curious to talk to my agent to know why there’s inconsistency.

I need advise/help on how to proceed. I live in Houston Texas and have lived in my house for about 11 years. We had some hail damage to our roof that happened last (2024) and have had at least 4 contractors come inspect our roof nd give us a quote. The cheapest quote so far is $9000. My home insurance is with All State. They sent adjuster to take a look at our and finally say the damage they see is not much and at most would cost $3000 to fix which is below our deductible. I am so upset. I have diligently paid for insurance for 11years without submitting a single claim and now I have a legitimate one they are giving us the run around. How do I proceed from here? There is absolutely no way to fix the damage for $3000. How can I make the insurance company pay for this? I am lost. Please any advise is appreciated.

I had some large expenses come up that I couldn't afford, so I used the "Plan it" feature on my platinum card. Basically, you pay a fee, and then Amex lets you make installment payments on the charges. What I did not know at the time is that you pay interest on these payments in addition to the fees! The fees themselves were a couple hundred bucks, and I picked a 6 month payment plan under the assumption that I was paying the fees instead of interest. Am I overlooking something, or is the payment plan completely useless? I would have just carried the balance if I'd known what I was actually signing up for Edit: I confirmed with amex that I am using the "plan it" feature and not "Pay over time" so I shouldn't be paying interest, but because I have carried a balance that isn't part of the payment plan, I'm being charged interest on both. This feels pretty scummy and deceptive

My pup just got cancer, and I’ve had her on nationwide for 12 years, I signed up when it was 90% coverage, excluding wellness and they used to pay out reasonably well. They hide it in the small print but they have extremely low limits for most categories - meaning I will be paying 70% of this out of pocket. The diagnostic limit alone is $1650 which is 25% of an MRI in my area. My other dogs are with healthy paws and pets best - I am sick that I didn’t move her sooner. If you see this please just move your pups rather than suffer.

My husband and I are currently in the process of selling our home. The new owners are using a USDA loan. The first 4 weeks of the closing process were a breeze. Our home passed appraisal and we were told the buyers got their loan approval. The issues started last Thursday. We were supposed to close this past Friday, however I received a phone call from our realtor explaining that the buyers had not been notified that the needed to submit a copy of their W2. They had to go out on a Thursday night to H&R Block to get this final copy. Everything was submitted to USDA on Friday and we were told by the Title office that we were going to close today. It is now Tuesday and after a stressful weekend, we thought we were going to close today. I received an email from our realtor stating that the USDA system is down and we are having to extend closing once again , but this time they are not setting a date because it is unknown when that system will be back up and running. The title office claims that as soon as we get the approval, we will close but I am starting to get VERY frustrated that we are being lied to. Has anything like this happened to anyone??

Me and my husband bought a house and got scammed into a home warranty with a company called home warranty services and Mepco in January of this year. Our bank flagged the first charge as fraud but we let it through and decided to go ahead and cancel I was reassured that it was done given a cancellation number and told that a cancellation letter would be on its way in the mail and through email (it never came)fast forward a month they didn't pull anything else from the account thankfully but I get bills and late payment calls saying my payment is late when I answered the calls I explained I canceled over a month ago was reassured by agents that it's over and just to ignore the calls because it's an AI... fast forward to now another month later I get another bill from Mepco and I sign into my account through them and it reads the policy is still active I've emailed home warranty services and plan on speaking to a manager tomorrow but I feel like an idiot for falling for this in the first place what are my next steps if they don't cancel it???

We have home & auto bundled with the agency of the credit union that holds our mortgage loan. Every year, they wait until the last possible time to send our annual escrow payment over to the insurance broker. So much so, that we get warning letters from the mortgage holder that they will have to get insurance for us at whatever rate they can get it because we have not made our payment on time. I think the agent is getting more interest on our annual payment by letting it go 1 month past the due date. Is that a normal practice? We are never late with our monthly payments that combine mortgage and home insurance together. We have an outstanding credit rating (800+). Am I wrong to be furious with the insurance agent/agency? What can we do? I am kinda afraid to look at other options. We trusted this agency/Progressive to take care of us. On another note, our auto coverage has ballooned from our initial rate when we first switched to this agency. We are two retirees who drive about 3-5 miles a day locally for errands and to pick up and drop off a grandchild at preschool. We've had 1 total loss in 2022 on a 2003 car that was hit by a deer ($2,600). I checked with our 55 year old daughter. She pays less for her home & auto coverage with AAA. I want lower rates and better service, but I don't even know where to start. I'm afraid that I will make a mistake and lose everything by being undercovered or taken advantage of. I thought Progressive was the best. Help!

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

Not sure if I tagged this right, but basically I was covered by a MA ConnectorCare (CC) plan until January 31st of this year, and now I am covered by my employer's BCBS plan as of February 1st. I received my first Gardasil shot on January 31st, the last day my CC plan was active, but my doctor billed BCBS (I added it for my second shot on Feb 28th) and now I'm getting a $700 bill for the office visit and the shot because that coverage wasn't active yet. Is it possible to tell their billing department they need to retroactively bill the CC plan as that's what I was covered by on the date of service? I actually work at the office where I got my shots, and I have a pretty good idea of what my plan will cover with or without a copay, and this is not correct.

Hi all, I am looking for advice regarding my vehicle that was determined to be a total loss from a collision a couple months ago. It’s my first wreck and figuring out what to do every step of the way has been a total struggle. The communication between me, the insurance adjuster, and the shop has been absolutely terrible (with some information intentionally left out, it feels like) and I could use any help I can get. I’m in Oklahoma btw. A couple months ago my ‘08 Mercury Mariner was rear-ended. Her insurance company, State Farm, determined it to be a total loss and offered me $7000 for the vehicle or $5800 to retain it. The vehicle has sentimental value to me (was my grandma’s car) and only has 64,000 miles on it and since it’s been in the family so long I know its history (NO mechanical problems whatsoever) so I would really like to retain and repair it. The shop that did the estimate provided a quote of $5100 to repair it. The insurance adjuster said the title would be clean if I retain the vehicle. My main question is, if I put the full $5100 into repairing the vehicle and I get hit again, will I get less money from insurance since the vehicle was already a total loss at some point (even with a clean title)? The adjuster said that that wasn’t true but also said the car had to be repaired “back to brand new” which seems like an impossibility/possible loophole that can be used later if there’s another wreck. My brother thinks I should put as little money as possible into it so if I get hit again I can have some of that $5800 to put towards a new car. Like I said, total idiot when it comes to this kind of thing so any advice or clarification is welcome. Thank you in advance!
