What kind of company does this where they don’t accept my debit or credit card for monthly premiums. They will do checks, but still.

I feel like this rate is insane for me being by myself 21 year old male in a brand new $50k plus Cadillac, I do need the snapshot through progressive (absolutely hate that) but I have been told my policy is half what it should be anywhere else. Clean record but why is my policy so low? I have average deductibles and had a third party review my account and said the coverage is right where it should be.

I am currently in the process of considering switching from PetsBest pet insurance. I currently have my 1 year old Jack Russell insured through them. He’s (thankfully) been quite healthy however, I have had experience in submitting claims through them with a 10-12 week old mixed breed puppy that I rescued (legitimately off the street). Poor Wren had multiple congenital defects with her heart and I ended up having to have her euthanized on emergency after a seizure. I submitted 2 claims - 1 for her initial visit with a cardiologist for diagnosis and the second, the emergency seizure visit. Both claims were denied due to “pre-existing condition” - which I struggle to understand considering she was not diagnosed until the visit with the cardiologist and was insured prior to diagnosis. My experience with their customer service representative the day after having to put Wren down was…lacking. I called to inquire whether or not I needed to leave her policy open until the claims were completed and was (very bluntly) told that “Because the patient is dead, the policy needs to be cancelled”. Fine. I made no complaints, I didn’t call to argue with their ruling re: pre-existing condition. And I would spend the money again and again because I truly loved my animals. I’ve let it be as the coverage is affordable and my hope was that since Norman (my Jack Russell) is healthy and has been to the vet consistently through his life, if I ever did need to submit a claim I would not experience the same outcome. Here I am, a little over a month later - my family all threw in on getting me a Black Lab puppy (Teva). Last night I looked into the cost of adding her to my existing PetsBest plan with Norman. She is more than double the cost to insure. Hear me out, I work in vet med (on the equine side but I am not lost on the workings of the small animal side) - I know Labs present higher risk (especially when it comes to foreign bodies and hips). I get it, but more than double?? After my already lacking experience? Uugghhh. All of this to ask the question - who do you recommend? In my research I am finding the price to be fairly similar across companies *BUT* with more coverage - ex: Spot seems to have fairly extensive coverage for the same price. I’m interested in opinions on all but have specifically looked at Spot, Lemonade and Fetch. Included are pictures of Norman, Wren and Teva as payment for your advice!

I have a 9 y/o Bengal male who had a bout of diagnosed stress colitis three days after I took him from his long-term family and before he was covered. Now, he has diagnosed pancreatitis, which is a totally different thing, of course. However, apparently because they have similar symptoms, the stress colitis is being treated as a "pre-existing condition" for the pancreatitis by Spot. This is ludicrous, and my vet agrees. I'm going to challenge it. Does anyone have any tips about the challenge and/or the paperwork I have to submit? Has anyone successfully challenged Spot or another pet insurance? If the challenge doesn't go through, then I'm canceling Spot and just going to pay whatever I have to pay instead of giving them money each month. If they can say something is pre-existing simply because two diagnoses share symptoms, then I don't trust that I'll ever see any reimbursement of costs at all. What if my cat gets diagnosed stomach cancer, which can cause symptoms similar to stress colitis and pancreatitis? Does that mean then they won't cover it? Seems like they at least have that prerogative to do so. Thanks in advance for your help!

I am wondering if anyone has figured out the best insurance available in ohio that is budget friendly? I use to have medicaid but they kicked me off a few months ago and ever since I've been on this healthcare marketplace insurance with united healthcare but in still struggling with paying it and living my life lol... I have omnipod and dexcom g7 and they barely cover that... I'm also wondering if it would help to find separate insurance from my spouse? Or just to stay on the same insurance?

Got metlife pet insurance to cover dental work needed for my dog. I got the Preventive Care plan add-on so her teeth cleaning would be covered. Right in the policy it lists Spay/Neuter or Teeth Cleaning: $150, per pet. Submitted my claim on 12/17 and finally got processed today 1/17. They rejected the claim on grounds of it being a pre-existing condition. My dog's teeth had plaque on them so they denied the claim. How in the hell do you get teeth cleaning covered then?

Nationwide tripled policy and cut coverage 40% Last year they tripled my policy to over $3k, and just sent me a letter saying next year they are cutting coverage to 50%. Been with them for probably 5+ years. I am on a grandfathered plan that covered 90% and wellness, so basically everything (including food since prescribed). To pay triple the rate and then also lose 40% of my coverage is absurd, and they said they have no other options or plans to reduce costs. Monthly costs also only drop $30 which is a slap in the face. Any idea where I can go or what I can do to control costs? He’s a 12.5 year old “beagle” mix for reference and has cushings for background.

I was stopped at a traffic signal when another car coming from the opposite direction had his tire come of and hit my car. His insurance is declining to pay saying that it should be covered by my insurance comprehensive coverage. His insurance is liberty and mine is progressive. Just does not sound fair to me. Total damages of 5 k. I do have a 500 comprehensive coverage, its the principle of things. How do I go about it? UPDATE I had the other party call the insurance. The insurance just called and accepted it was their fault and promises to cover everything. They asked to go ahead and book an appointment with the body shop, which I just did for next week. Justice was served , thanks largely to the other driver being honest and standing for it. god bless America. Its about 20 days work and probably will be able to work out a rental car too in the mean time.

Just sharing an experience that may be helpful to others. I signed upon or Trupanion about 4 years about based upon Wirecutter's review at the time saying that their increases over time were modest and product was good. When I got my puppy four years ago, the rate was $70 month. Fast forward three and a half years and my rates were $103 ( not too modest in my opinion). I just got an email saying that my rates were going from $103 to $135. That's an astronomical increase in my opinion. It got me wondering what Im going to be paying when my dog is 11 years old and he may need the insurance, $300/month? More?I decided it was no longer for me and I wanted to cancel. Customer service was relatively good till this point. But when I wanted to cancel they made it EXTREMELY difficult. I could find nowhere on the website to cancel until finally finding some back alley link that said I had to call them on the phone to cancel. Annoying... shady... but fine. I called them and waited on hold for five mins for someone to take my info. They did, then they said they had to transfer me to the cancelation department. Shock and surprise it was a 20 minute wait. When I got the agent on the phone, they needed to take all the same info again, and then I was forced to sit through a 15 minute scripted summary of why my cancellation was a bad idea and why their rate hike was justified rather than them just taking my info and cancelling the subscription. They told me if I hung up and didn't listen to the whole spiel my insurance would not be cancelled. The whole thing felt like a forced captivity last ditch effort sales pitch to keep me, rather than facilitating what it was I called to do. Really disappointing customer service. To not have an online option to cancel in today's day and age is egregious. Forcing people to to listen to a sales pitch is customer relations malpractice.

Hello, So Just to give some background my Experian score is 667 and I'm looking for a Heloc or Home Equity loan of about 35k. I make about 60k a year. In 2020 I had 2 late mortgage payments due to covid before I found out about the mortgage forbearance which I then signed up for, however the mortgage forbearance now shows up as ND on my credit report. I tried a local credit union who denied me based on the late payments. I am currently working with AmeriSave but they are saying that the ND on my credit report have to be explained. I contacted my current mortgage lender to request documents for that but I don't know how long that will take. Any advice on what else I can do in this situation?
