A few weeks ago, I was in a car accident while driving my parents' car that I wasn’t in fault. When I called my parents insurance company they told me i wasn’t covered by their insurance policy and didn't say anything and said to call the other party to solve this they didn't informed me on any of the steps so I assumed that I have to only call the other persons insurance. I wasn’t covered under my parents insurance, as they excluded me from due to not having 3 years o experience and I had no idea how much this would impact me. This was totally my fault for not being informed. My parents don’t speak good English and the language barrier wasn’t clear whether they added me or removed me from their policy. I'm a full time student taking 30 units this spring and currently I live with my boyfriend near my campus and visit my parents about once a month. That day, I just wanted to go to the gym and didn't think much about it so I drove myself since my parents were busy. I never thought that one small decision could turn into something so overwhelming. I’ve only been driving for a year, and this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. I didn’t even know that I was supposed to notify the DMV if the accident caused more than $1,000 in damage. I’ve tried everything I called my parents’ insurance company, I called the DMV to request a hearing but they told me there’s nothing I can do because I wasn’t covered. Now, I’m facing the possibility of having my license suspended, and I feel completely lost. Is there *any* way to stop this from happening? I don’t want one mistake to take away my ability to drive. If anyone has advice or knows what I can do, I’d truly appreciate it.

So, in case anyone was curious, I posted [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/petinsurancereviews/comments/1io7ggn/fetch_pet_insurance_prescription_sublimit/) and [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/petinsurancereviews/comments/1j4f71u/update_fetch_pet_insurance_deceitful_enrollment/) about an ongoing issue with Fetch Pet Insurance about a "prescription sub-limit" applied to Virginia, USA policies and wanted to give the final update as far as I am aware. TLDR: Fetch pet is rolling out a "prescription sub-limit" of 1500 dollars on all applicable policies, that applies to any and all medications (including ones given in hospital and during surgery). This sub-limit was not disclosed to me nor does it exist on any of their publicly available documentation. My dog had surgery in January and a portion of it wasn't covered because they applied all of the medications used in that surgery to the sub-limit, and I was informed that for the rest of the year no medications would be covered due to this sub-limit. I made a report to the BBB and contacted my states insurance board to see if this sub-limit was appropriately filed with them. Haven't heard back about the BBB complaint but my state's insurance office did confirm that Fetch filed the sub-limit with the state. I have no idea what other states this is applicable in, because there's still no information about it on their site, probably because they don't want people to know about the bottlenecking they are applying to policies. After quite a bit of back and forth, I've been informed that my and several other individuals who had surgeries are having those claims reassessed and that surgical medications will not be imposed against the sub-limit. They are adjusting the under-writing language to specifically change how they assess anesthetic drugs, but all other medications (nerve blocks, pain management in surgery, and antibiotics given in surgery) will still be applied to the sub-limit. With my reassessment, I received the remaining balance I was owed from my dog's surgery and now have about 850 dollars left in my prescription sub-limit for the year. I'm still quite a bit miffed that they were able to apply such a restrictive sub-limit to my policy without informing me, and this sub-limit is still applicable to medications given by veterinarians in-hospital, but at the very least they are not applying anesthetic medications to this sub-limit any longer. If you had a surgery only partially covered by Fetch Pet Insurance in the past year due to complications surrounding this sub-limit. Please submit an appeal, I've been told (on a recorded line) that they are reassessing any surgical claims made using the previous underwriting language surrounding this policy.

I recently had to cancel my insurance policy within 24 hours, and I was charged a $12 enrollment fee. Dianna, a manager from MetLife Pet Insurance, mentioned that while they will refund the premium, the $12 enrollment fee is non-refundable and isn’t included in the premium. Just a friendly heads-up for fellow pet owners!

We purchased Spot Pet Insurance for our newly adopted rescue Golden and chose “Accident” insurance only . They happily took our application and all monthly payments since July 2024. Over the weekend, he suddenly became lame on his back right leg and was very reluctant to walk or stand up. We know it occurred between his am walk and 3 pm. After taking him to Blue Pearl and getting imaging done as well as pain meds, we submitted our invoice for reimbursement. DENIED. Reason why? We didn’t have the EXACT time of the injury. I submitted an appeal, but if it’s denied we are cancelling. We would be better off putting $100 bucks a month away in his own health account. What a bait and switch!

I've been a loyal Farmers/Foremost customer for 10 years, claim free. But when I had interior drywall damage, they wouldn't cover anywhere near the cost of the repairs. I gathered three quotes, but the Farmers Rep said they were all "unreasonable" and suggested I keep looking for cheaper options. My rep told me he basically punches numbers into a computer, and that spits out the estimate. He doesn't actually talk to contractors, just does "what the computer tells him". Anyone else experienced something similar with Farmers or other insurance companies? If so, open to sharing about it?

Got the new 2025 Auto Insurance invoice from Erie Insurance. The only thing I can figure is one of my adult sons hit an unknown object lying in the middle of the turnpike late at night that resulted in some damage to one of our cars. It wasn't anyone's fault and Erie ended up paying out about $3,500 for repairs. But I don't think that justifies such a huge rate increase for each vehicle!!! **Anyone else get huge price jumps from Erie Insurance?** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_2013 Accord| 2010 LaCrosse| 2013 Sienna| 2021 Accord| 2017 Accord| 2024 Cost|        $ 436.00|        $ 207.00|        $ 326.00|        $ 368.00|        $ 371.00| 2025 Cost|        $ 634.00|        $ 337.00|        $ 733.00|        $ 699.00|        $ 596.00| % Increase\_\_\_\_\_\_+45%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+63%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+125%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+90%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+61%

I was rear ended while stopped at a red light. The woman couldn’t provide her insurance as she wasn’t able to find it after looking for a very long time but I got her plates and drivers license. Didn’t report to collision centre as when I called they said if total damages to both cars are under $5k go straight to insurance. I received a quote for $1k cash for repairs or go through insurance. I let her know both options and requested her insurance information. She has still not responded back to me so I called my insurance and filed a claim. My insurance stated that I’d still have to pay the deductible until they work on finding her insurance. Wanted advice on how to move forward, should this be counted as a hit and run as she is not willing to provide her insurance information? Will they be able to find her insurance by running the plates? Use location: Ontario, Canada

Almost two weeks ago, I (26M, Location: North Carolina) was the passenger in a car accident. My boyfriend's car got t-boned on my side, and he is definitely at fault. I got a pretty nasty bump on my head, which the PA at the urgent care later diagnosed as either a bad headache or a mild concussion. At first, I just had a dull headache that came and went, I'll now say I'm having migraines that are coming and going, and at their worst I want to lay down and do nothing. My parents want me to pursue legal action against the insurance. They think I should get head scans, and his insurance should cover it. I'm thinking maybe there's sort of aftercare or physical therapy that'd be possible. But I'm hesitant about suing my boyfriend's insurance. I imagine there would be negative consequences for him through them, which I wanted to avoid. I wish the headaches were getting better, but they're not--if anything they're getting worse. He's also not happy with the way the insurance conducted the afternath of the accident. Evidently they listed his car on the auctioneer's site before telling him the damage (he's since taken the car back and the listing was taken down). He planned on suing the insurance company, but he consulted a lawyer who told him he doesn't have a case. When I told him about my legal options, he said his insurance is shady and he'd pay for expenses without going through them. That, at this point, seems like it could be way too costly when it's all said and done. Meanwhile, the insurance company has contacted me and they're asking questions about lost wages and whatnot. I've told them I'm having headaches. So what are my options? How bad would this be for my boyfriend? What would you recommend in this spot?

**Location:** Birmingham, UK **Type of Insurance:** Home Insurance (Subsidence Claim) I'm sharing my experience dealing with what I believe is systemic fraud by Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance (RSA) and their loss adjusters, Crawford & Company. After 4.5 years of battling for a fair resolution to my subsidence claim, I've submitted a formal escalated criminal complaint to the Chief Ombudsman following their recent decision (PNX-5126400-B7P5, January 24, 2025). # Background In September 2020, I filed a subsidence claim with RSA. The Ombudsman has already acknowledged RSA's "shockingly poor service" and "significant avoidable delays" in their decision. However, my complaint goes much deeper than poor service. # The Evidence I've Gathered Over these years, I've collected substantial evidence of what appears to be deliberate misconduct: 1. **Fabricated Complaints**: RSA created three fake complaints (January 30, September 26, and December 7, 2024) to manipulate regulatory timelines and circumvent proper oversight. 2. **Falsified Technical Documents**: Key claim documents including the Schedule of Works (SOW), Certificate of Structural Adequacy (CoSA), and Forms of Acceptance (FOAs) appear to have been fabricated. Metadata analysis reveals these were created in 2024 but backdated to 2021. 3. **Data Protection Violations**: My Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) came back with approximately 73 critical documents fully redacted and many (around 50+) others improperly withheld. 4. **Claim Reference Manipulation**: RSA repeatedly changed my claim references (from SU2004338 to 1781135 to 202405326), seemingly to obscure the complaint history and make tracking impossible. 5. **Conflicts of Interest**: The person investigating my complaints at RSA was directly implicated in the issues I was complaining about. # Most Concerning Evidence What troubles me most is that when I examined the Certificate of Structural Adequacy, it falsely claimed that Leo Horsfield (the structural surveyor) recommended removing an ash tree that had already been felled two years before they were even involved in my case. This demonstrates deliberate falsification, not just an administrative error. Similarly, the Schedule of Works was created on April 30, 2024 (proven by metadata), yet RSA claimed it existed since July 2021. When challenged, they couldn't produce the original document. # Where Things Stand Now The Ombudsman's decision acknowledged the poor service but couldn't address the potential fraud due to their limited remit and outside timeframes of this particular complaint. I've now escalated to the Chief Ombudsman, with copies to the Financial Conduct Authority, Information Commissioner's Office, and Serious Fraud Office. My 122-page complaint (filed 02.03.2025) meticulously documents every falsified document, fabricated complaint, and regulatory breach with supporting evidence. I believe RSA's actions go beyond poor service into potentially criminal territory. # What I Hope For I'm sharing this to warn others and hopefully connect with people who may have experienced similar issues. I also hope that by bringing awareness to this case, the regulatory bodies will give it the serious attention it deserves. Has anyone else experienced anything like this with RSA or other insurers? Any advice on navigating this process would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have 3 cats. I've had policies with Fetch (previously known as PetPlan) for nearly 2 decades, and they have covered half a dozen different cats during that time, including my current trio. Fetch has never had the cheapest policies, and it always took a while for them to pay claims, but they always provided good coverage and did not engage in the scummy bait-and-switch practices so common to other pet insurance companies. All that changed Monday. To provide some background, two of my three cats are middle-aged littermates, a female and a male. The boy is generally healthy except for the occasional herpes virus flare up. He's had those since he was a kitten so Fetch considered them a pre-existing condition and has never covered any of those expenses. Fair enough. His sister suffered a serious illness in 2023 and was ultimately diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma. Due to complications during the initial work up, she got aspiration pneumonia. She nearly died and had to spend 10 very expensive days in the ICU. She recovered from the near fatal pneumonia, but unfortunately the lymphoma is terminal and all we can do is give her medication to keep her comfortable and slow the progression. If we're really lucky we may get a couple more years with her. Since her diagnosis in 2023 she has had to see her vet every couple of month for blood tests because the medications suppresses her immune system and can have serious side effects. So, she incurs regular medical bills, but nothing near the expenses she incurred in 2023. Both cats had their policies renewed in 2024 with moderate increases in the annual premiums. Today I received my renewal documents for 2025, and I am absolutely floored by what Fetch has done: * **Fetch designated BOTH cats as high risk and forced them into high-risk policies.** * **The female's 2025 premium went up by about $75 to $1380 per year, but the deductible quadrupled to $1000 and my co-pay went from 10% to 40%!** * **Even though her brother has rarely been sick and never with anything serious, his 2025 premium increased by $817 to $2200 per year, his deductible doubled to $500 and my co-pay went from 10% to 30%!** I had expected the girl's policy costs might increase, but there is no justification for what Fetch has done with her brother's policy. I called Fetch to get an explanation and see what could be adjusted at least for the boy's policy. Their answer was, "Nothing." Take it, or leave it. This is how Fetch treats customers who've had policies with them for decades. Just a big middle finger. Fetch was bought by a huge private equity firm a few years ago and these predatory business practices are the result. Wall Street has been buying up veterinary practices and pet insurance companies with the goal of consolidating the industry into monopolies that will rob pet owners blind. For Fetch it's either pay up or put fido to sleep.
