I currently have Erie no recent accidents or traffic violations. I did switch to an EV which I guess triggered the recent price increases. My annual premium went from $925 to over $1700 for 2 vehicles. I did a quote at progressive direct and the annual price is about $500 less with the same coverages except I didn't include the accident forgiveness or deductible savings bank. Is it a really bad decision to switch from Erie to Progressive? The monthly price option for the two actually saves me about $720/year. Am I missing something that I'm overlooking?

Idk but this happened nung January pa this year, but I have come to notice that yung mga agents nila sa malls (esp sa SM) are not working professionally. I get that gusto nila makabenta pero di naman tama yung 'tactics' nila. Kaya napagkakamalan silang scam eh. Well my personal experience, would say parang na scam nako. May babaeng lumapit claiming na may ibibigay daw silang prize if sasali ako sa "raffle" kuno nila, makikipag usap tapos pupuriin pa then the next thing I know is papuntahin ako sa office since kukunin ko daw yung prize without knowing na dito na mag sisimula yung kalbaryo ko. May FA na kumausap, mag bibigay ng advise or whatever. Ako naman, I thought nag mamarket lang, umabot kami ng 45 minutes don then yun na pala, ipa aavail na ng policy nila. I declined first, sabi ko "your agent said na di kayohihingi ng kahit anong money or what, so bakit kailangan kong bumili ng policy niyo?" Nagalit pa yung FA, inulit yung mga sinabi kanina. Ang ending napabayad ako ng about 9k good for three months na yun. Nakakbweset lang kasi bakit kailangan mang linlang, and bakit may pamwersa sa mga tao kung tatanggi. If you're a professional, you would not get mad at someone saying "AYOKO", and in the first place dapat di na kayo nag sinungaling na wala kaming babayarang kahit na ano. - just a rant lang, nag lapse na yung policy ko since di ko na tinuloy yung pag hulog, sana napakain nila mga pamilya nila sa 9k na kinuha nila.

So a few years ago Freedom Mortgage bought my Mortgage from Veterans United. I qualified for a VA rate adjustment at some point down the road and they were very helpful to set up a payment system where I am paying money every two weeks shaving years off the amortization schedule. The problem arose when we had water damage to my house during a storm. After getting the insurance figured out, there was mold involved which made things tricky, I had a large check which was going to be used to pay the final contractors to put the house back together. The check was sent to me, I signed it and sent it to Freedom because it was large enough to require the involvement of the mortgage company. The problem arose when they kept moving the goalposts and demanding more paperwork, more inspections, and more reports. After nearly two months of providing them with everything they finally cut a check, for less than the originally cited amount. I was told the amount was less because they withheld money which had already been paid. They said if I wanted more money I could either give them an itemized list, down to the nails, of every penny I am asking for or get an inspection at my expense to confirm the work hasn't started. Freedom is holding my money hostage and making every step of this process impossible. I cannot stress enough to get as far away from this company as possible. The only reason I am still with them is my 2.25% APR. The scariest part is their inability to tell me what they are going to do with the extra money once we are done.

I recently bought a car is a Hyundai accent 2019. It has 70k miles but here is the problem; I’m currently paying 327.94$ for my car insurance with Geico and that is insanely expensive. I know that I can change my car insurance after 6 month, but I want to know if someone know a cheaper car insurance or something that I could do for make it cheaper after the 6 months. I’m 20 year old and I’m new in the USA. Please I need some advice.

Hey all, Ran across something weird today. I was notified by my son’s pediatrician office that his provider was not covered under our insurance plan. We have been going to this provider without issue and picked this provider based on the fact that when we searched him on our insurance website, it listed him as in network. I contacted my insurance company, and they reported to me that on initial search based on NPI, he was a covered provider. I called the billing office back and they said to give the insurance company the tax ID to search. I did this, and my insurance said the tax ID was not covered, but when the tax ID and NPI were provided, it was listed as covered. My insurance called the billing department, and they told my insurance that they do not accept my insurance plan, only certain policies under my insurance provider, but not my specific plan. The medical office told me they would be resubmitting the prior claims since they should not have been processed as “in network” and that I would be responsible for payment since it’s out of network. I can’t make any sense of this. All prior claims from the visits were processed and covered by my insurance, but now the medical office is claiming that they have always been out of network? Why would they have been billing my insurance if they were in fact out of network? Any help or insight would be helpful!

I have been paying for Embrace Pet Insurance for nearly a year. I submitted a claim recently and apparently I was supposed to get my dogs an exam BEFORE the policy began. The dogs had an exam 16 days after the policy began. Now they are refusing to pay claims despite the fact that they happily took my money for the last year. These people are scammers. Beware!

Sorry, not sure where else to post this. I tried calling Delta Dental but they are closed. I keep getting emailed a verification code from Delta Dental at least every hour. Happening to anyone else with Delta Dental? Not sure if someone’s trying to hack into my account and is requesting verification codes (I’ve already changed my password and it’s still happening)

I had a home claim, and State Farm issued a check made out to me, my mortgage company, and the down payment assistance program I used. I had both parties endorse the check (which was already kind of tedious process that took 2 weeks) and now US Bank says they won’t accept the mobile deposit because the payee doesn’t match the name on my account. I called customer service to explain, and they said US Bank won’t accept deposits unless the account names match. I did call after regular hours so maybe it’s an overnight service that has bad info. But surely 1) this isn’t a particularly unique situation and someone at US Bank has to know what the protocol 2) the standard here can’t be that I have to open up a bank account with both the down payment assistance program and my mortgage holder, can it? I feel insane that I can’t find any info about this online, so I’m hoping that means there is a way. ETA: Ended up having to mail it to a branch! But for future readers, no, you are not expected to set up an account with you and your mortgage lender, thank goodness!

Been on Sunlife LTD now for 6 months after surgery and resulting (ongoing) nerve pain requiring medication with side effects impacting ability to focus/concentrate seriously impacting my job. My doctor thinks I need more time for the nerve pain to settle but Sunlife had said it is time to start a rehab program (physio) which my Doctor sees as having no benefit at this time. Sunlife insists and says lack of compliance by me, even if under the guidance of my doctor, can jeopardize my ongoing benefits. They had sent the Doctor a note with their proposed plan and gave him a whole 2 weeks to agree or justify why not. He won’t be responding as he is off for spring break and has a huge patient load. If no response from him, Sunlife said they simply move forward. I am not sure how to proceed - must I follow their proposed (e.g. get this claim closed asap) plan without any consultation from my doctor or can my doctor propose a plan? And can they simply ignore my doctors perspective and/or simply move ahead if no response?

State Farm raised my insurance from $180 a month to $340 over the span of 6 months. Very little and random explanations. My car is 10 years old, it’s insane. P.s. anyone know of good and not stupid expensive insurance in Los Angeles?
