Location: Virginia I live in Virginia — a state where “as-is” sales are firm, but not completely lock-tight. I bought a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 from a small used car dealer less than two weeks ago. It was sold “as-is,” but the salesman promised a 90-day free warranty at the time of sale. Later, I was told it wasn’t added because he had “already paid processing fees.” Four days after purchase, the transmission started acting up. By day five, it was shuddering, slipping, and losing power. I took it to a trusted transmission shop, and they dropped the pan and found a significant amount of metal shavings — consistent with a problem that had developed over many months. This wasn’t a sudden failure — it was clearly a pre-existing issue. I thought I was covered under the extended warranty I believed I was buying through my loan. Turns out that warranty (Route 66) denied the claim, stating the damage was pre-existing. Here’s what I’ve done so far: •Filed complaints with the BBB, Consumer Protection Agency, and the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board •Reached out to several lawyers — I’ve got two consultations scheduled, but they’re still a ways out •Still struggling to find an attorney who handles consumer auto fraud/litigation in my area •Tried contacting the dealership multiple times — I’ve: •Called both numbers posted on their door •Left voicemails •Emailed •Messaged them on Facebook •Even stopped by in person — no one was there •The last thing I heard from them was “follow up after the diagnosis” — and nothing since •I’ve also requested cancellation of the warranty since I feel it was misrepresented and clearly not helpful Now I’m stuck using money that was supposed to go toward my loan to cover the canceled warranty and looking at paying out-of-pocket for a major repair. At this point, I feel completely stuck. Has anyone else been through something like this in Virginia? Do I actually have any legal options — or is this just one of those expensive, awful life lessons?

Don’t trust this company! We had our mortgage insurance one year from 2170 to the following year 4340! Double! Well our dwelling went from 356,000 to 375,000.

I have medi-cal through anthem blue cross in association with LA care health plan. I have never had Medicare part B. I had a ultrasound in october 2024 which was approved by my primary care provider. I just got a letter today from the centers for medicare and Medicaid services, fargo ND. It is saying that the ultrasound was not approved and i may be billed 220$ It also says i have not met my part B deductible of 240$ Again, i don't have medicare part B. Im not experienced with these insurance issues. I dont know if medi-cal already paid this or not, it's been almost 6 months. Is this medicare preparing to bill me for services already paid by medi-cal ? Thank you, input appreciated.

My car insurance was already extremely high (young driver, NYC), but my policy is set to renew after this month and I just got a notice that it’s going to be even higher. I called Geico customer service to ask what changed, especially since I hardly ever drive anymore (I began driving because I went to college out of state and enjoy the occasional trip to nearby states) and the last time my policy was adjusted, there was a big drop in the payment. Plus, I’ve never been in an accident and don’t have any tickets. The answer I got was that essentially, car insurance is up in New York State, and the adjustment reflects that. I can’t comfortably afford my new insurance rate, and my car is financed, so I’m not really sure what to do. Please help! I checked some other providers, but the quotes were much higher. Over $1,000 per month, so that’s absolutely not an option. Has anyone ever been in this situation? Honestly, since I don’t drive much anymore and NYC has the MTA, I’m willing to give up my car if it’s possible, I’m just not sure if that’s really an option?

Has anyone else had issues with them. Recently had hail damage to home and they gave my contractors heck. The adjuster did a half azz job while taking notes for the claim. Contractors came and wanted to add more due to the OBVIOUS DAMAGE that was left off. They denied it. Meanwhile im watching my neighbors get their siding replaced along with their sheds lol. Im between these two homes at that. They also called contractors lying saying photos weren't real and I had to go and prove and sign off that they were. You pay as you should and when its time to use them they nickel and dime you.

Hey denied my cat’s mycoplasma diagnosis because his first vet record shows he was sneezing (self report by us.) however, he is a Persian and they tend to sneeze for no reason. The sneezing he was doing when he got sick was WAY different than just a smelling around sneeze. Now they’re saying it’s a preexisting condition when it’s not! (It was a bacterial infection, he didn’t have it when we got him for sure). We got him in December and he got his cold in February. I’m so upset and really regretting getting Lemonade

Does anybody know or have had a awful experience with State Farm? They have kept my car at a body shop. It was a front end collision. They fixed all the outside of the car. Even things that did not need to be replaced. When went to pick it up it was not drivable. We told them at the time of the crash that they stability. Track went out. They refused to fix that. They told me to have it towed to my dealership. And guess what? I can’t get a hold of their roadside assistance. And every time I call they act like they don’t even know Like there is no claim! How can that be? They still have my vehicle at the shop.

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).

So I have had AmFam insurance through Costco (live in Wisconsin) for a couple of yrs which comes with with a few perks that I thought would be helpful; non-deductible coverage for 1k to fix a window and $100 for locksmith if you get locked out. Well, in the span of 6 months I ended up using both of these but didn't know they get filled as claims against my insurance. Fast forward 6 months, and I just a notice of Non-Renewal because I have had 3 claims in the last 3yrs (I've a claim bcuz of lost baggage 3yrs ago). I'm calling around and getting a lot of refusals and getting a bit scared that I won't find coverage for the house. I tried appealing the decision but that didn't work either Is there any way I can drop these AmFam claims? Or known companies that would still cover here?

I was hit by a Lyft driver back on 11/17/2024. They didn’t check their blind spot and merged into me on the freeway. My car’s front bumper is cracked and messed up, I had to change that tire, and my windshield wiper fluid tank is cracked. I don’t have proof of the accident but I filed a police report as soon as the incident happened and I recorded the situation right after. I think it’s very obvious (from the damages and location of the accident) that her car hit my car. This problem became complicated because they were using a Hertz rental vehicle, not their own car. The driver gave me their insurance information and she claimed that she bought “extra insurance” to cover incidents. I come to find out, her Hertz insurance doesn’t cover the incident because she was driving for Lyft? And Lyft is now saying, “If we agree to pay for some or all of your property damage on behalf of our policyholder, we will only consider reasonable rental expenses, for a vehicle comparable to the damaged vehicle, and/or reasonable storage expenses for reimbursement.” Does this mean they will not be paying for any of my actual damages?? I unfortunately do not have collision coverage, I only have California state minimum requirement. I’m looking to switch but full coverage was just way out of my budget at the moment ($400+ per month). Please help :( I don’t really know what to do next. I’d appreciate any advice!!
