My 14 month old cat has been to the emergency vet twice since we adopted her a year ago. 8 weeks ago she went in for swallowing a button. She had been vomiting all day. Luckily it came out naturally after she spent the day hospitalized with an iv to hydrate her. Last week she started vomiting again. I’ve been traumatized but the fact that she swallowed a button, my best friend’s cat had to have surgery to removed a nerf ball, and my other best friend’s cat had to actually be put down for eating the rubber off of swimming goggles, he had other issues and they didn’t think he would survive the surgery. All this happened since my cat first went in 8 weeks ago. So I probably should have given my cat a few more hours to see if she would stop vomiting. Turns out she had suspected gastritis. Now I’m afraid that we will get dropped from Fetch insurance if I submit the last claim. Should I submit the claim? Will I get into trouble if I don’t submit it?

I had an Avant loan that was sent to collections a few years back. I've since paid it off in full but my Avant account still shows an "Active Charge Off" status of that loan, which prevents me from applying for a new loan. I'd like to know how I can have these old loan details wiped from my account for possible future loans? I tried calling support but couldn't get through to anyone.

Location: Tennessee My wife (German) and I (US) bought tickets from the US to Canada with Costco Travel before things got rough. My wife still has her maiden name on her passport and my last name on her green card. We have both abided by the law and have no criminal history. It is a bit scary seeing Germans and other EU citizens detained in such traumatic ways, and I do not want my wife going through the same process. We cannot get our money back as the insurance does not offer refunds and Costco cannot offer any refunds on anything but Air Canada flights, which must have an end destination in Canada. Right now, I have a few options, but I would love to see what type of risk we would be taking here if we decided to go anyway. We really can’t afford to throw away that money, and it might be the risk is rather low. 1. I am contacting the German embassy to make a statement on her passport in relation to her green card. 2. I am contacting my credit card company to see if get a refund. I know some offer travel benefits and protection. 3. Get the refund for Air Canada and use those credits for visiting my wife’s family later through Canada. The downside is I would have to buy more flight tickets in a recessionary environment. We would love to change it to a domestic trip, but is there anything I can do to get my money back or make it safer to travel to Canada and back into the US

Healthy Paws just raised our pet insurance to an extra $100 a month out of no where! Has anyone else gotten a huge rate hike like this from them? This is Absolutely ridiculous.

Our puppy went to a few puppy socials in the past week. Today he started having a loud dry cough, so we took him to the vet. The vet diagnosed him with a minor respiratory illness. The vet wasn’t concerned because he was still eating well and had no change in energy level, but still prescribed him some cough suppressant. We mistakenly filed a claim to Trupanion at the vet to try to cover the medication. However, we were on day 28 of the 30 day waiting period and Trupanion denied the claim. Furthermore, Trupanion now saying that “cough” is a pre-existing condition and we will no longer be able to submit any claims for “cough” in the future. I saw that some insurance providers delineate between curable and non-curable pre-existing conditions. Does anyone know if Trupanion does this? Additionally, is there any way to get the “cough” removed as a pre-existing condition from Trupanion or are we screwed? Thank you!

I'm a 38/f with 3 young kids. I did an online application for term life insurance (no exam) with Ladder for 750k/30yr. I have no medical issues other than familial high cholesterol controlled with statin, non smoker, no pre-existing conditions etc. They quoted me at 117 a month. I know no exam is generally higher than traditional, but this seems off to me. Is it me, or is this very high? Could the cholesterol be that much of a factor?

My car is being considered Totaled based on the accident photos. To determine the value of the car the adjuster is asking me to take pictures of the inside of the car only. I requested for them to send someone over to look at the car in person, and they say they don't send appraisers to look at cars, that they only base it on the pictures. They said that if I wanted to get the car repaired that I can, but they would consider it as "Salvaged" and there's a process for that. They would send me a salvaged title, etc. Wouldn't they assess it lower based on inside images only? What about the rest of the car, they don't care about it? What can I do about this. I have also let them know I paid for my registration, bought some new lights, tires, etc. recently, and they asked for the receipt of these items, which I will send but how can I know that I'm not being offered really low? What makes me the most concerned is that I had a body shop come see the car and they tell me that they consider the car's value much higher than the repair. This is why I wish they could bring someone over instead. The car aside the accident part, is in great shape, why can't they be fair and bring someone to do this properly? This is being done by the other driver's insurance.

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.

I’ve had liberty mutual since i leased my Jetta in 2021. My rate was $145/month until jul 2023, when my coverage renewed and then it increased to $197. Then increased again to $225 in jul 2024. I called and spoke to an agent to ask about the increase and they said it had nothing to do with my credit and that rates were simply rising across the board… In 2022 I had a small fender bender with someone while parking, my insurance covered it i think. I never followed up with my insurance to see if they actually filed a claim. In 2023 my car was side swiped by someone parallel parking and they left a note and their insurance covered the damage and repair. But that was the only accident i had. No speeding tickets, but i did have many parking tickets (my city is brutal). Now I’m wondering if I should shop around, but seeing other peoples posts im not sure if $225 is even that high rn? My credit score is 759 and I make $72,800 a year before tax.

I received an email recently that I would not be able to renew my 4-year-old cat's pet insurance through ManyPets due to the company no longer providing policies in the US market. They said I would be hearing from another company, Odie, about a new policy. I looked up Odie and it seems to have very low scores on Trustpilot. Has anyone else lost their ManyPets coverage? If so, who did you go with to replace it?
