I decided to give it a try but after downloading the app and reading the permissions and tracking that clicking "I accept" will give State Farm - I just can't do it! = Uninstalled! They can keep their 10% discount! If you start reading what you're agreeing to, you are giving State Farm access to EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING on your phone including access to your Google accounts, text messages, photos, (24 hours a day 7 days a week whether you are driving or not). You are also giving them permission to do things "on your behalf" (meaning you will be financially liable), like calling a wrecker if the app thinks you've had an accident. I read enough to decide that it's not for me!

Gcredit 151 na utang Hello guys. Sobrang taas kasi ng penaalty na pinataw sakin ni Gcredit, napabayaan ko na din ilang buwan kasi nalimutan ko na meron pala akong existing na na-utang don i think mula sa pagloload lang. Nung binuksan ko, 1500 ung penalty pero yung utang ko is 151 lang huhu. Feeling ko sobra naman yung penalty at nagcontact ako sa customer service ni gcash at email ng collection pero wala reply sa email at sa help center is wala silang nagagawa. Parang ayoko bayaran dahil feeling ko excessive naman. Total is 1651 lahat from 151 na utang. I know na fault ko na hindi lagi nagchecheck ng accounts ko pero balak ko naman sana bayaran pero hindi sana ganiyan kalaking penalty na 10x sa loan ko. I did research and saw BSP Circular No. 1133, series of 2021 which is "A total cost cap of 100 percent of total amount borrowed (applying to all interest, other fees and charges, and penalties) regardless of time the loan has been outstanding." valid po ba ito kay gcredit? Should that mean na 151 lang din dapat ang max fee (penalties, service charge and interest) na babayaran ko with my loan totalling to 302 pesos max?

Update: Thank you for all the responses and suggestions. This is my first time ever dealing with insurance so was a little confused. I believe I have figured out what the issue was. I was seeing an in network gynecologist and they requested I get an ultrasound. The gynecologist had me scheduled with the hospital but said I can cancel and find another provider to try and find a cheaper place. I found an imaging clinc that says online that they take Aetna and so I scheduled with this place. They took my insurance information and I called them 3 times prior to my appointment to confirm the price of the service. They had stated the service was $245 every time I called and that I wouldn't owe anything more then that. I went to the clinic and before getting the ultrasound done again asked about the price. They said it would be $245 and so I swiped my card. I asked again if I would get another bill later and they said no that this is all that I would owe. I did the ultrasound and before I left I had them print the bill. They printed it for me and it shows that the good faith estimate was $245, which is what I paid upfront. A month later I received a bill from the clinic for $400 and upon checking the insurance claim I see $400 going to deductible and another $401 saying "pending or not payable" with my total share being $801. It seems my insurance is not covering anything. I had no idea that they would not cover anything or that this place was "out of network" as it literally says they take Aetna. I was reassured multiple times that the $245 was all that I would owe. I told them many times that I would cancel my appointment if there is the possibility that I would be charged more. The good estimate bill doesn't even show the actual price of the procedure nor how much my insurance would cover. I am so mad. How do I debate? Do I file a complaint? It also seems like my insurance is unaware that I've already paid $245. Please help!!! Another $800 bill on top of the $245 is insane.

My son was hanging out with his girlfriend’s family when her dad pulled out a couple of dirt bikes and offered to let them drive around the block on them. No helmets, no licenses, bikes aren’t registered or even road worthy. My son is 15 with a learners permit. It was 8pm, dark, and the bikes had no headlamps. Long story short, my son ended up running into a car, causing $7K in damages and losing part of a toe in the process. My insurance company will not cover this because it was outside the scope of the coverage provided for the learners permit. The driver is threatening a lawsuit. I’m angry at the girlfriend’s father. I would have never allowed him to get on that bike if I had known about it. I knew the consequences if something like this happened. In addition, the father apparently verbally told the driver he would cover the damages but he hasn’t returned my call. Can the driver sue me? Shouldn’t she just file with her insurance company for uninsured/under insured motorist coverage?

So the title basically sums it up. I had I guy scrape the paint off the driver side front fender and a little bit off the side around the wheel well at a gas station about 4:30 am after I got off work. I got their insurance info and pictures of the damage, ID, and insurance info (Progressive). Someone gave me their number to act as a witness and it's on the video at the gas station, and the gas station employees know me from stopping by after work and said they'd act as witness too, so I didn't think it was worth calling the cops over. The problem is, is that Progressive wanted me to use their website/app to take pictures of the car and then a video of the car (inside too for some reason). Honestly it seemed like a bit of a hassle. Any other time I've had something like that happen I've just had to take it to a shop and it gets fixed. The car was in perfect condition went it happened, which they asked about when I was filling the initial claim. Unfortunately I put it off for a a couple weeks since my working nights made it so it was dark when I got home and the sun was going down when I got up to leave for work (this was about a month ago when we had less daylight), and off course I procrastinated like I shouldn't have since the car was fine to drive. Then, about 2 weeks later, I was driving home after work and was in this stretch of the highway that is really dark when something hit my car HARD. I didn't know what it was, it was just some black blur that I didn't have enough time to dodge. I pulled over really quick cause I was dragging something and I didn't know what condition my car was in. Turns out I was dragging a chunk of my fender that was broken off. Luckily my car was drivable, but I had a hole about a foot in diameter taken out of the front fender closer to the passenger side of the car. I walked back up the highway and it turns out the semi I was behind shredded a tire and it just ripped threw my car. I've seen people hit by those before and it's surprising how much damage they can do. I honestly thought I'd have more damage from the sound of it and from the feel of the impact. Now my problem is both that I didn't get the semi truck's info so I can't have them pay for that damage, and because it happened before I made the video I now have damage to the same piece of the car that was mainly damaged by the the guy at the gas station. So I've just been stressing out about how to deal with it, not knowing how I should go about handling this now that it's gotten complicated. I swear, I go years without trouble then get hit back to back. So when looking online to help figure out what to do, I found some similar stories on Reddit while trying to navigate this, but none that fit me specifically. So I'm hoping I could get some advice on how to best deal with this, or at least someone that can let me know what to expect. Sorry for the length of post, and I appreciate any help!

So I've had my own insurance (Medicaid, Ohio) since July 2024 but doctors keep charging my parents' insurance (UMR) even though I'm not a member anymore. I should have been calling and having them reprocess all the claims as they came in. But instead, my parents, who recieve the Explanation of Benefits letters, let them stack up and handed me a grocery bag of over 50 of them today. I have no idea what I owe, how to find out, who to call, etc. and they dont care. If what the letters explain is truly what's in the bills (that I don't have), I suddenly owe over $20k in medical bills which I literally live paycheck to paycheck so I don't know what to do about. What in the world do I do?

(TL;DR at the bottom) In mid-December 2024, my parked car was involved in a hit-and-run while I was at home. Surveillance footage revealed a white Mercedes struck my vehicle and fled. Unable to identify the driver immediately, I reported the incident to the police and my insurance company. By early January, my car was declared totaled. As a tobacco inspector, my job required a personal vehicle for site visits. Without transportation, I was removed from the schedule and subsequently terminated. Despite actively seeking employment since January, I’ve been unable to secure a new position.  In March, I noticed the same white Mercedes parked nearby. After running the VIN, my insurance confirmed it belonged to a neighbor. She had concealed her vehicle for over two months following the incident. Upon presenting this evidence, her insurance company accepted liability, acknowledging her prior claim in December for hitting a parked car. However, her policy only covers the Pennsylvania state minimum of $5,000 for property damage, which was paid to my insurer. After settling my car loan, I received $3,000 from my insurance, insufficient to replace the vehicle. Without steady income, securing auto financing has been challenging. I purchased my 2018 Mazda6 Grand Touring Reserve in April 2023. The total finance amount was $21,116 , I put down $4,500 and made regular monthly payments until the car was totaled in December 2024. At the time of the accident, it was valued at $16,500. After the remaining loan balance and deductible were paid, I received only about $3,300 ,far below what I had put into the car and not enough to replace it To date, my neighbor has not acknowledged the incident or attempted to discuss it with me. Without a vehicle, my ability to work has been severely impacted, and relying on public transportation and rideshares has become financially burdensome during unemployment. I’ve now missed approximately 12 weeks of full-time wages as a direct result. I reside in Philadelphia, PA. ___________ My questions: • Given the circumstances, what additional insurance coverages could have better protected me in this situation? • Are there specific endorsements or policy options that can safeguard against underinsured drivers causing significant losses? • What steps should I take when the at-fault party’s insurance coverage is insufficient to cover damages? Any guidance or insights from those familiar with insurance claims and coverage options would be greatly appreciated. __________ TL;DR: Neighbor’s hit-and-run totaled my car, leading to job loss. Her insurance covered only $5,000, leaving me unable to replace the vehicle or secure new employment. Seeking advice on insurance coverages that could have mitigated this loss and steps to take when the at-fault party’s coverage is inadequate.

Was driving on the freeway and a ~2 inch rock came out of their un-tarped trailer and hit my windshield at about 65 mph. They did not have a rear license plate visible. Front registration plate was orange and I believe it to be an Oregon apportioned truck plate. I was not able to get a clear picture of their plate. I spoke to our state police and they gave me a case number for insurance purposes. Went to file a claim with Progressive and it turns out my deductible ($500) is more than replacing the windshield ($388) so they just recommend I pay for it without insurance. Shouldn’t the other truck’s insurance be paying for this?? I don’t know what to do other than pay for the replacement out of pocket and hope to make contact with the other party’s insurance after the fact. He wouldn’t stop as I tried to get his attention but I was able to take some pictures… on the side of the rear trailer is a logo for “The Shaw Group” and some sort of identifying number (T1210xx… censored for this post).

I was rear-ended in late January by a driver insured by Maryland Auto Insurance. I filed a claim with my insurance company (Progressive) who deemed that the other party was liable for damages. I reached out to both the other insured and MD Auto Insurance, and was given the run around for over a month— with MD Auto Insurance saying that their insured had not been returning their calls and the other party stating that MD Auto Insurance was not answering their calls. Progressive got involved and tried to call MD Auto Insurance 2x after I basically begged them to, and they weren’t able to reach them and gave up. I consulted some lawyers online to see if I had a case, and they all recommended using my insurance (i.e. paying my $750 deductible for the damages, Progressive paying the rest and having Progressive attempt to get my money back through subrogation). I spoke with Progressive who said that not all subrogation attempts are successful, and that they most often aren’t… meaning that my desuctible would just be lost completely. I ended up going that route because the damage on my car was such an eye sore. I paid $750 and Progrssive ended up paying $761 (total cost of repair was ~$1,500. The repairs were completely last week. Today, I received an ~$1,800 check from MD Auto Insurance for the damages to my car. They did not call me at all to accept liability or tell me that they were mailing a check. So now, I have an $1,800 check to cover the damages though the car has already been fixed and I have paid my deductible. Should I tell Progressive about this check or should I just cash it without telling them? To be honest, Progressive really pissed me off when they wouldn’t assist me in talking to MD Auto… they called twice and gave up so easily while I called multiple times a day for weeks. I’m afraid however that in the subrogation process, MD Auto Insurance will tell Progressive and then MD Auto will adjust the amount (they estimated $1,800 in damages, but the repair was actually $1,500), and I will lost that extra $300. Other possibility is that the subrogation process will fail because MD Auto rarely answers the phone and has such a long and terrible phone system, and Progressive would close the case and I would be allowed to keep the money in total. What should I do? TLDR: I was rear ended, other party gave me the run around to avoid liability, my insurance paid (after I paid a $750 deductible), and I just received a check from the other parties insurance. Do I let my insurance know?

I am getting a crappy rate on my so-called HSBC "loyalty" ISA and want to move it to 212. When I go through the steps in the app, it connects to my bank account and opens my HSBC accounts, but my loyalty ISA is not there as an option to transfer from. All my other accounts are showing? Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
