HealthEquity - Help with HSA investment and rollover
Hi all. Looking for guidance on what to do with my HSA. My employer used HealthEquity for our HSA provider. From what I have read, they are an abysmal option given their high fees in comparison to other providers, like Fidelity. So I have two questions:
\- Would it be wise to rollover my HSA from HealthEquity to Fidelity? (At least the amount that I want to invest.) I know there is a rule that this can only be done once in a 12 month period, but I really just want to invest a lump sum at a lower fee.
\- This will be my first time investing my HSA. Should I treat it like a regular investment? What do you all typically invest in, i.e. ETFs?
Appreciate your help.
Trading 212 - My broker froze my account and ended up making me lose money
Hello, I doubt I can do anything about this but I'll ask anyway. My broker automatically froze my account yesterday because I supposedly made a large amount of orders (less than 10 a day on average). The average of those orders were positive so I'm unsure why the amount matters, not like i was losing money. I had an ongoing call that I was keeping waiting (hoping) for the price to go up and placing puts as the price was decreasing, so i was slowly making back the unrealised loss (and I did more than make up for it before tariff struck).
Anyway, yesterday I tried to place a put but noticed my account was frozen, asked why and the help center told me the reason above and that it was there to protect me. Anyway, tariff happened today so the earlier mentioned call escalated in price which triggered their automatic order closure when the account reaches 25% of its value. Since my account was frozen i was unable to place a put to stop the fall in price and such. They did prevent me from placing a put just before the tariff struck yesterday, and while it was happening. So i was wondering if I could ask them for any sort of compensations or if I should cry.
the broker is trading 212 just in case.

Geico - Geico totaled my car even though repairs cost less than the 75% threshold. What can I do?
I recently got into a car accident where I was rear-ended. The only damages were to my bumper and trunk. Geico gave me $2,000 to start repairs and said the shop could request more money if needed. I decided to take my car to Mercedes so dealer parts would be used.
Mercedes told me they’d handle everything, but for two weeks I heard nothing from them or Geico. Then Geico called and said my car would be a total loss because Mercedes’ estimate was $9,671, which they said was above the 75% threshold.
Geico valued my 2017 Mercedes C300 at $12,636. I did my own evaluation, adding in features/options Geico left out and $5,200 worth of maintenance I’d just done a week before the accident. After I sent my report, Geico updated the value to $15,453. At that value, the repair cost is clearly under the 75% threshold.
Instead of changing the decision, Geico switched it from a “construction loss” to a “financial loss” and still marked it as salvage. Meanwhile, Mercedes had already taken my car apart without telling me, which caused storage fees to pile up, around $6,000. I was told the fees would only be waived if I fixed my car with them, which basically left me with no choice.
What made me upset is that Geico ended up paying Mercedes about $7,700 for the initial estimate and storage fees, instead of just approving the $9,671 to fix the car. When I finally got my car back, it was still disassembled, with the bumper and parts thrown inside. Mercedes didn’t even bother to put it back together after being paid thousands of dollars.
Given my car’s updated value, the repair cost is way below the 75% threshold, so how is it still being considered a total loss? I even asked if I could take it to a different shop for another estimate (since Mercedes is more expensive), and was told no.
This whole process feels really unfair, and I don’t understand why my car is being treated as a total loss when it shouldn’t be.
Progressive - Why would I not get my full pip coverage?
I have $2500 in pip coverage and over $30k in medical bills. I’ve only gotten $900 in pip coverage. My lawyer said that is the offer from progressive. Why would I not get the full pip amount? I’ve also lost over $30k in income but my attorney won’t submit income loss.
Budget Rent-a-Car - Budget promised a refund verbally over the phone and are now denying they ever promised it.
Location: Denver, Colorado
This happened at Budget Rent-a-Car at DIA.
So this has been dragging on for around 2 months and the amount of lies upon lies that we've been told would make this post ridiculously long, so I'll keep it as short as possible.
Budget wrongly denied a prepaid rental booked through a third party, claiming that it was against their T&Cs, and sold another agreement at 3 times the price for a lesser car plus extras which were specifically not asked for. After finding out the original rental was wrongly denied, we contacted them to ask them to honor the original rate. At first they argued, wrongly citing their T&Cs again, but eventually agreed to honor the original rate. This was promised verbally and by email.
The inflated rate was still charged at the end of the rental, and subsequently a refund was promised verbally on 2 separate occasions, explicitly stating the amount and timeframe. The refund did not happen and they are now denying ever promising it.
On top of this, the car they claim we returned is not the car we rented, and they've added a fuel charge. I have email evidence of agents lying about what their T&Cs say, and proof that contradicts what they claim on the phone. We also know the desk agent receives a commission for upselling because there are job listings for the same location which state this.
The issue is, their customer service is impossible to deal with. They pick and choose what parts of the emails they want to reply to, disregarding they key points of my email each time, and it takes days to get a half hearted response. Calling is no use because they later just deny what was said.
We have filed reports with BBB and disputed the CC charge, so other than waiting on the outcome of that, what can be done? They have taken a four figure sum from us and are constantly contradicting themselves and misleading us, and there is no urgency from them at all. 6 hours+ of waiting on the phone and explaining things, plus a chain of around 30 emails, many not even getting replies, speaking to probably around 15+ different CSRs and we are back to square one even after they admitted we were right. It's infuriating.
Because the amount is only 4 figures and the case is becoming so long and complex with insane amounts of law violations, taking it to court might not be economically viable, but the complete disregard for the law can't be allowed to slide. Even a full refund wouldn't be justice at this point. I'm not sure what to do as it's becoming a full time job trying to keep a timeline and stay on top of evidence etc.

null - On the hook for deductable after Dr. changed claim details
So I've been going to a psychiatrist practitioner for more than 2 years now. I've paid a $25 copay each visit. I've never had to pay a deductible, it's always been the same practitioner as well. Out of the blue in January I get sent a bill that is many many times the cost of my copay, with the bill stating that it's my deductible.
I called my clinic and they tell me nothing's changed, that the insurance was sending back that it was out of network and that they'll resubmit. I called the insurance and they let me know that in the past they were filing claims as a family practitioner, but now they're filing as psychiatry/specialist which is subject to my deductible. They mentioned that I could file a dispute, but that everything did look accurate and they're not sure how or why it was charged as general practice before. When I called my clinic back they told me they'd been bought out and that the practice is a specialist clinic and told me basically they don't care how it was charged before.
I am very frustrated. I went ahead and cancelled my next appointment and am looking for options to continue on my medicine. I'm hoping my old family doctor might be able to pick up the prescription. Not sure what else I can do.
I would not have went in for my visit had I known it was going to cost me multiple months of rent. And all just so she can ask me 3 minutes of questions and write the same prescription I've gotten for the past year.
Is there anything I can do to get out of paying this bill? I was not told before hand that anything was changing. I know it's more complex than this but I can't help but feel like I'm being scammed out of my money.
Also does this not sound borderline fraudulent? How can a practice go from being general practice to specialist without undergoing major changes. If they are a specialist now, how were they not before??
Anyways, I just needed to vent this out I guess. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. God bless the American Healthcare system.
Safeco - Safeco Offering Only $500 After Driver Crashed Into Our Home – Is This Fair?
Location: Seattle, Washington
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice or similar experiences.
A few weeks ago, a driver crashed into our house. The impact broke our front door, left insulation exposed, and traumatized my family. My wife witnessed the crash, screamed in panic, and we have video with audio capturing her emotional reaction. Since then, she’s been unable to sleep, cries at loud noises, and constantly fears it could happen again.
Our 8-month-old baby was also in the house. While some say “babies don’t remember,” there’s real research showing even infants can be affected by trauma — especially when their caregiver is distressed.
We had to cancel a planned international trip in September and also dealt with harassment from a contractor who was supposed to do repairs, adding even more stress.
We submitted:
• The video showing my wife’s panic
• Travel cancellation documents
• Research on trauma in infants
Despite all of this, Safeco (the driver’s insurer) is only offering $500 for emotional distress. They say we haven’t “proven” our case — even though the trauma is documented and undeniable., no real explanation.
Has anyone dealt with Safeco before in a similar situation?
Is $500 a typical offer for something like this?
What would you consider a fair amount based on the circumstances?
Thanks in advance — this situation has been overwhelming for our family, and any insight or shared experience would mean a lot.
I used ChatGPT to explain this situation here.
Acceptance Insurance - Missing a signed application for car insurance?
I just got car insurance for my new car and I got a letter days later saying they were missing a “signed application” from me. What does that even mean?
I then called the customer service line and they put me on hold for an hour so I gave up. This was first acceptance car insurance
State Farm - At fault auto insurance company won't pay whole bill advice needed
Some one hit my vehicle while it was parked in Tennessee. I got a police report showing they were at fault. When they contacted me to get it fixed I did not go with a body shop in their network. They said that was ok.
Now the car is almost fixed and the body shop said the insurance company won't pay the amount the body shop said. It is a difference of $135 from a $1500 bill they already paid.
What should I do? They said because I didn't use their network body shop it was not guaranteed to pay everything. I also have a rental from them. I called twice today to talk to the insurance supervisor and have not got a call back. It is state farm.
Thanks for the advice.
