Hi! I’ll get right into it- I adopted my dog in 2021 at age 3 and got her pet insurance immediately at around $20 per month initially. The price has gone up as she aged and is around $55 per month now (she is 6 almost 7). I moved in the last few months ~10 miles away from my old apartment but still go to my same vet and have not had any significant changes otherwise. I called the pet insurance to change my address and they quoted me $139 for the same coverage I have just because I moved. Since I have been with the pet insurance a while, I feel like they just redid my quote as though I was a new customer and that’s why it’s so expensive. For nearly triple the price I’m not willing to keep the insurance but wondering if I have any rights here or this could be escalated further? I really like my pet insurance but feel that this is outrageous especially since I have not moved that far and still go to the same vet so I don’t see how it would make that much of a difference to them. More details- I have MetLife pet insurance. I live in Saint Petersburg, FL (moved from downtown to north st Pete and my zip code changed). I also moved from an apartment to a townhouse. Thanks in advance! Edit to add: no preexisting conditions except allergies (she gets a shot every 3-4 months) and nothing new that would have contributed to the price change.

I have a senior cat who just turned 14. I had him since 1 year, and always had Banfield, thinking that was the insurance. (To make me feel less bad, pet insurance wasn't a thing back then :( so please don't blame me too much.) My other cat who was 14, passed away recently, and all the bills left me in burden. So I heard about the insurance, and was trying to sign up for my other one, but I've also heard about insurance nightmare stories. I'm now really worried that they would just deny everything, saying it was a pre-existing condition. I would truly truly appreciate if there is a way to ensure coverage based on my current situation: * Everything is recorded in Banfield, where I took him regularly for his routine checkup since I brought him home. * My cat is chonky (24 lbs) * Already had asthma when I brought him as a kitten (but it wasn't severe and got better so no treatment was given) * Last October, the doctor said he has heart murmur 3/6 and put that in the note * They also noted he has a tartar on his teeth (would that make any dental related disease claim denied?) My biggest concern is the heart murmur... would they just deny everything heart related? Any tips and advice would truly be appreciated. Thank you so so much.

My parrot was diagnosed with avian chlamidiya at 2 months. He went through medication and was fine. I have nationwide insurance Nationwide says I cannot get that removed without another expensive chlamidiya test that won’t be covered. Recently I was very sick and while I was sick my bird got sick. I took him to the vet and they gave him different meds and said it’s most likely a respiratory infection, which is also what I had. They specifically put that it was a respiratory infection and not chlamidiya which a pretty serious infection. Nationwide marked it the same as chlamidiya and refused to cover it, said it was preexisting. There are a billion things that cause a respiratory infection in birds. It’s not fair that every single thing he can catch will be lumped in with a very serious condition that he had when he was 2 months. They told me I need the SOAP notes and a letter from the vet which I will be getting. But I will be looking for a different carrier for pet insurance because this is obscene and I already have a $250 deductible with this I wasn’t even getting anything back this was to just go onto the deductible!! I appreciate any help you all can help because I’m at my wits end here I’m going through way too much and I can’t take anymore

I don't know much about auto insurance claims, but I do know they have to and in no uncertain terms tell me they are denying my claim and why in an official and written communication. I need someone to give me advice what to do next. I have a strongly worded demand letter giving the 1 week to get me my total loss documents and an offer for ACV....I'm probably screwed. 17 days after the accident the at-fault driver's insurance told me they were taking responsibility and needed me to contact the impound lot and approve them to pick it up. They then told me I would be getting a rental car, comparable to my vehicle ( a 7 seater XL SUV and it would be authorized for a minimum of 5 days, to be extended as needed. Then they asked for my statement--- They accepted fault before they even heard my side, and my side further points the finger at their guy. July 1st They took it to their body shop and I picked up my rental and I didn't hear anything for a couple days so July 3rd I called the shop up and the owner said they told the person who dropped it off that it was totaled without needing to be evaluated and to take it away (they left it anyway) She said left a voicemail with the adjuster that day but hadn't heard back from her yet. I call and leave a voicemail with the adjuster and since it was the day before 4th of July I wasn't really expecting to hear back from her until Monday at the earliest. I didn't hear anything until 7/9-Wednesday. It was an my email to check the claims portal for new documents. It was a document for a repair cost estimate. $24,000 and my car is worth $21,000 on a really good day. The repairs are things like welding to repair frame, taking various pa from a 2024 model (my car is 2018), not even a compatible year. Voicemail notification pops up from the adjuster. Hey, just wanted to touch base. Our liability department reviewed the claim and determined they were no longer taking responsibility for it. Please let me know where you would like to have my vehicle taken. If I want to send her a text with my address she can even be so nice to leave it in my driveway. She calls again on the 11th leaving another voicemail. I say call, but my phone isn't ring there's no missed call in my log--- This voicemail she is super chipper, telling me the good news that my vehicle can be fixed, says to check my email to see the estimate for repair, tells me I just need to take that to my insurance and they will get the repairs done since they are no longer accepting responsibility. "Your insurance has probably already been communicating with you and asking you for it. No man, they denied my claim 3 weeks ago boi. My insurance has been terrible through this too, can't get them to call me back so at this point I take it upon myself to order my own copy of the police report because there has got to be a reason they're suddenly flipping the script on me..... I get a copy of the accident report 7/15 and oooh boy, that has to be the DUMBEST cop on the planet. Here's his report Driver 1 was traveling down lane 2 , veered into the guard wires on the left. Driver 1 then took a sharp right being perpendicular in lane 1 when driver 2 collided.---- Like it all happened at the same time. OH! And he apparently cited me for improper lane usage which has to do with unsafe lane changes and swerving outside the lines. The diagram he drew is equally ridiculous. Nothin he had in the report was anything I had said. Here is the gist of what actually happened that day: Traveling in the left lane on the highway at 320am my tire came off ....and I'm not talking just my tire, the entire hub. At the time I had no clue what happened and am only guessing, honestly at what happened next -my car sank down slightly on the driver side and suddenly I couldn't steer,, my vehicle is not responding even if I held the steering while steady or if I decided to jerk it hard to the right. When gently touching the brake the car wanted to make a hard right so while It had a mind of its own, all I could do was down shift and pray THANK GOD I was able to reduce speed to 40mph and that the road was empty because my vehicle decided to suddenly make a harsh veer right which caused my car to do a fancy spin across the highway to the right lane and came to a stop facing oncoming traffic. My vehicle was semi parallel to the highway and mostly on the shoulder, but partially in the right lane as well. Facing oncoming traffic but the front of the car more on the shoulder and the back more in the right lane. My vehicle automatically starts flashing every light ever and blaring out the alarm sound, and saying "we are contacting emergency services" or whatever it said. Sweet saves me something to do since my car refuses to budge. I should mentioned that it was twilight out and I was grateful that my vehicle was facing head on because my headlights and fog lights are hard to miss, impressive and now they are blinking.. I contact AAA and put out these orange plastic cones that I had in the back from soccer practice...better than nothing. I can see that my tire is there but it looks crooked. I get back in the vehicle because I assume I would survive an impact surrounded by steel better than if I wasn't. I'm watching cars approach, slow down and change lanes for about 20 minutes while AAA takes their sweet time. 345ish is when I see this minivan in the right lane coming quick and not slowing down at all, other cars are getting over ya know?.... the next part happens in a blur no idea what occurred, I think my brain took over and put my conscious to sleep for a second he smashes into my beast of an SUV going at least 80mph-never touching his brakes, no tire marks on the ground But I am standing on the side of the road so I must've escaped just in time. and on the shoulder is my driver side tire disconnected like a loose tooth. My vehicle gets thrown 100 yards down the highway, he continues another 100-150 yards down the road and up an embankment about 20 feet. I think he's dead, i run down to check on him, by the time I get there he is standing outside his vehicle and on the phone with 911. He was real cool, grateful I was alive he tells me that he was sorry. He had his cruise control on and his cat was in the back seat. His cat started meowing so he was turned around checking on it and before he could turn back around he smashed into my SUV He had to have been not looking at the road a solid 60-90 seconds--- visibility was far even at twilight. ANYWAY, I write the insurance carrier and go over my review of the accident report and pointing out inaccuracies such as where my vehicle ended up would have been impossible had it been a t-bone collision and the fact that his vehicle traveled 200 yards after impact supports my side of the story that his passenger side collided with my passenger side, in a semi head on way....hard to describe how my vehicle sat, it was parallel but not perfectly so, the back of my car was slightly in the right lane and the front of my vehicle was slightly more on the shoulder. Also mentioned that I had order a copy of the 911 call where he admitted to me he wasn't looking at the road....before I could hit send, I get an email saying to check the claim portal, they have a copy of the police report and a letter attached saying that they were sharing the police report with me and that the police report does not state their client is at fault. ALSO DOESNT SAY IM AT FAULT BUT WHATEVER!! Enterprise calls me they want to report the vehicle stolen, they give me 24 hour grace aka today in 3 hours. I send a strongly worded demand letter pointing out that they have not denied nor finished my claim, and they were the ones who approved a rental car to see me through the length of this claim so they are obligated to continue paying for my car rental and if they fail to do so then I will have no choice but to submit a complaint for bad faith practices. Gave them 24 hours to respond. I don't understand what is going on, why change their minds like this but not outright deny the claim and end it here--this game playing I don't have time for it but I am a petty person I will not roll over. I'm frustrated. No attorney wants to take this case because I'm not injured, wishing now I had stayed in my vehicle so at least the insurance couldn't mess with me. I'm too broke to pay for an attorney, but I can't afford to lose a $20,000 asset because they are a bully.

Hi we have progressive as for our auto insurance we had an accident and it raised from $2000 to $4000+ for our premium and we added 2 more cars didnt really save us money like that. We pay almost $800 monthly for 3 cars. I just got licensed in CA so i dont have a driving record yet. (I was from another country) I was trying to get a policy under my name. I dont think I can since theres not much driving history. My husband has a dui from 9 years ago and we cant get geico. Were running out of cheaper options. What can we do or has anybody had this issue and what did you do? Where can I shop around for auto 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

House that was built in 1989 has water stains on all the 2nd story ceilings which are getting worse every time it rains. The roof is visibly messed up, losing shingles. Siding and gutters have never been replaced. Visible hail damage, plus the vents on top of the roof have dents all in them. I live with my senior mother whose coworker has a son who works for a roofing/restoration company. The guy came out, inspected our house and took over a hundred pictures. Said we need a new roof, siding and gutters. We put in a claim with State Farm homeowners insurance, he said to put we have damage from June of 2024. Even though we've had more storms and tornados since that date. State farm then sent an inspector woman who barely looked at anything, the company this door to door storm chaser guy works for was there. They didn't seem to show her much of anything. The inspector was here less than a half hour and I didn't answer the doorbell. The company who would be paid for replacing things nailed a tarp on to a small part of our roof without asking or informing us. The inspector determined only 2 shingles need repairing! Nothing else. She also emailed my mother the decision, saying it was nice to meet her. My mother did not meet this woman and no one who lives here did. Now the guy who inspected our house initially is saying we weren't denied and we have a roof that is no longer made. It's a 3 panel shingle roof and he claims those shingles are no longer produced. He's telling my mother to take State Farm's offer of fixing the 2 shingles. That they'll send them off for testing and once they find out these shingles are no longer made, insurance will cover a new roof. A simple Google search shows I can go buy 3 panel shingles at every home improvement store nearby. Is this guy scamming my senior mother? Will State Farm actually replace the entire roof after testing shingles? I'm a single solo mom to a disabled child who has to live with my mother and I feel we're getting taken advantage of. She thinks we're not since she works with this guy's mom and she's easily taken advantage of. Help please, any input would be highly appreciated!

I drive a large suv and I was hit. The other party was 100% at fault. Their insurance company had me send in photos of the damage, and called me today with an estimate. He explained they will mail me a check for their estimate amount and that they will pay $25 a day for a rental. In my area the smallest economy car is $60 a day so what they are paying won’t even cover that. What can I do? I am in no way at fault and I don’t believe my insurance should pay anything

I was just notified by Amica they will be dropping me in June due to having 2 previous claims in 2022 and 2023. Both were from individual pipe bursts Amica fixed. I’ve resolved further issues by paying out of pocket to repipe the entire house in 2024. Amica was aware of the re-piping but was still not interested in keeping me on. I do not live in a fire zone. I’ve been told no by several insurance companies stating because i’ve had water damage claims, I’m ineligible for their coverage, even though I’ve completely repiped my home last year. I have tried working with two different independent insurance brokers, both haven’t had success. One found a home policy for $18,000/year. Not including auto and umbrella. I was paying $4500 all in. Anyone have any luck getting coverage in a similar situation as me, with previous claims? I’d love to avoid CFP and DIC if possible. Thanks
