So from just looking on here it seems that this happens often. I got my vehicle yesterday afternoon after them having my car for a lil over a month. I didn’t look at my car much yesterday. This afternoon I went outside and was looking at the stuff on there bill of said repairs for the insurance company. A couple small things look fixed but most stuff looks the same as before as in not touched. The thing is what do I do now? I also had just called said place and the person was busy and in telling the person on the phone if they just ripped insurance company’s off he was dead silent.

I’m looking for auto insurance but I keep getting ridiculous monthly quotes from $700 to $900. I’m a 2nd year college student, 20 years old had my license since I was 18, no accidents. I don’t have any car under my name, but i would be trying to get an old mercedes insured which is considered a “sports” car (family car they don’t use) for some reason. I am currently living with my parents, last time i called, progressive started charging my parents for me to NOT drive, to be an excluded driver. Which was crazy to me. I had to call and tell them I moved address. I tried getting a quote using a fake address saying I live with a friend but they started naming people in said address and asking for their DOBs (which i also read was fraudish?). I really don’t know what to do, i need to commute to school full time, but money is tight with classes, any advice ? Thanks !

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!

What are y’all thinking of doing- keep Healthy Paws for now if your premium hasn’t yet increased or cancel it now before you continue to give them money each month and they have a chance to ridiculously raise your premium in a year or two? I’ve had them as an insurer for two years. My golden retriever just turned 7. I know, these pet insurance companies get you bc it’s so hard to get new insurance for older dogs. I’m hesitant to continue giving a company my money if they treat their clients this way. The amount of premiums I’ve seen posted here in recent months is alarming.

A couple of weeks ago a gentleman ran the stop sign in front of my house and used my new mudroom as a stopping mechanism. We were told to get an estimate from a contractor and they would cut us a check. We got a detailed estimate and the insurance company sent it out for review. The review came back with a 6000.00$ reduction in the estimate due to not enough detail on the labor side of the estimate. The insurance agent said that we could accept the money while we submitted an updated more detailed estimate to get the extra 6000.00$. Should we take the money while we wait for the contractor to update the estimate or should we get the updated estimate first?

In December of last year, I purchased a plan from the Georgia Marketplace. A dental plan. I have called 4 of the offices mentioned under their provider tab and nobody accepts this insurance (solstice -Essential Smile GA- Total Care). One of the dental offices even mentioned that that particular insurance does not cover anything. Would this count as bad faith, false advertising or a 23 year-old learning the hard way about America's health/insurance issues.

Let me preface this by saying I might totally be in the wrong here. I hit a deer a few weeks ago, messed my car up pretty bad. It’s a 2017 Mercedes C300. The hood, bumper, grill, and right headlight assembly need to be replaced. Right fender can probably just be repaired. Regardless, estimate of the damages came out to about $7,700. I was SURE this would total the car, as I knew that my car was only worth $9-$10k. I had been trying to sell/trade it for the past year. It has 110,052 miles on it, cosmetic damages, coolant leak in the heater core, needs a new purge valve, etc. I have had four different dealerships tell me that it’s worth no more than $10k, and two offered me $5k to buy outright, other two offered $7,600 which is what carmax values it at. MERCEDES told me the car was not worth putting $8k worth of damage into and would give me $5k for it. Progressive tried to tell me it was worth $16,475. This number is based on what dealerships SELL my car for on average. My question is… if the car were to be totaled, they would NOT give me $16k for it, because that’s not what it’s worth. So how can they value the car at that price? It’s also a hypothetical number with dealership markups. They never sent anyone out to look at my car, they never asked about previous damage, NOTHING. The guy kept blowing me off and stated that they won’t run the value unless it’s totaled and flagged and we had not gotten to that point. Is this even legal?? I’m supposed to have the estimator call me tomorrow, but as far as I’m concerned, all he did was plug my vin into Mitchell Connect and say that it would sell for this so that’s what it’s worth. Should I fight harder? Everyone I’ve spoken to has told me to.

Hey everyone! Fetch just sent us our plan renewal and it's quite a bit higher this year. I'm looking to switch while my dog still is quite healthy. She's a 9 year old scrappy terrier mix, and has one pre-existing condition of a femoral head removal before I got her (which was pre-existing for her current policy as well). She's also broken several teeth over the course of several years, which was covered with Fetch, but I'm worried it might not be with other companies (even though those were accidents and not conditions). Is it worth it to switch at this point? I'm seeing some decent slightly lower quotes at Lemonade, Pets Best, and Embrace. But basically every company out there has a post on here bemoaning said company as a "scam." I'm looking for accident and injury coverage with a high max payout of $15,000 or more, deductible of $250-500, and no add ons.

Hello, I have an HSA with Optum Bank that I am transferring to another institution. A couple of weeks ago, I had a phone call with Optum where they had told me to liquidate my investments before initiating the transfer. Right after we hung up the phone, I liquidated all my investments and initiated the transfer with the other institution (Fidelity). I sold X amount of shares of VFIAX at share price of $565.06. A few days after liquidating everything, there was a purchase of shares on my account using my entire account balance, purchasing shares of VFIAX at a share price $567.88. It turns out that my account had a flag named HSA auto-transfer enabled, which is the cause of this. VFIAX has dropped a significant amount since this purchase was made. As of now, it is priced at $530 per share, which will drop even lower today. I am upset because the representative from Optum did NOT inform me that auto-invest was enabled, and my entire portfolio is down about 7% due to this. I just spoke with a supervisor at Optum to see if they can reverse this transaction and they said there is nothing they can do. The only thing I can do from this point is to disable auto-invest and liquidate all my shares for a loss. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm upset that I have to take a loss due to the phone rep not telling me to disable this feature. It's also caused delay on the transfer process to Fidelity.

2024 I met my deductible for the first time so I decided to see a sleep doctor. Found the doctor through my insurance portal as in network. Went to my visit, no payment as my insurance is accepted. A few months later I was billed as out of network. I call the doctors billing office and they assure me they are in network, they will resubmit to insurance. I get another bill, doctors billing department reassures me that they are in network, resubmits. Now in 2025 insurance and doctors office confirm that the doctor only became in network for my particular plan 10/1/2024 and my two appointments were in September 2024. Very suspicious. Is there anything I can do to get out of paying? Everybody was on the same page so I am not sure what happened? I suspect the doctor forgot to renew with my plan and so it went into effect the following month of my visit?
