I recently settle down with Geico for an auto damage cost and they sent me a link where I can put my banking information for direct deposit, despite verifying with the bank about the entered information being corrected the website still shows "please verify the information for accuracy" I even used a family members card which didn't work, so then they automatically issued a check which never came despite being more than 10 days, I called them again and they said there's nothing they can do but issue a new check or redo the direct deposit which I did and still failed to verify the banking information, I suspect this is a system error, I'm currently waiting for the second check but I'm very anxious whether the check is gonna come or not? What should I do in this situation. Geico isn't able to track where my check goes

I suffer severe injuries after being struck by a car! The lawyer called me today to tell that progressive insurance is only going to pay $25,000 for my injuries and that my medical insurance will cover my bills . And they research the guy and he has no assets to sue him!! I am devastated that I nearly died in this accident, everything is gone, and I am mentally ruined. Could you kindly advise me on what to do? Thanks

Just wanting to throw this out there - if you are enrolled in a Voya retirement plan, they rolled out this new "AI advisor" service to accounts. It allows you to have a Empower-like interface to where it can calculate your retirement income based on savings from various sources including Social Security. That part of it is pretty nice, no complaints there. Though I am a bit concerned about the visibility of other account data to my employer, though I'm sure there's privacy practices in place against that. But when I was clicking around and not intentionally doing anything, there was a orange notice icon by a bell at the top. I clicked that and it had a dialog stating "Updates Needed for Plan Accuracy" - and that's where it's very alarming. I'm under age 30. I should NOT be in bonds. I DO NOT want to be in bonds. Nor do I want to be invested international. For some reason, this AI advisor tool wanted me to re-balance to be 35% in bonds, and 30% international, with 5% of my contributions going to fees for the re-balancing. So be careful with Voya.

I am going through Tesla insurance for my Model Y. I had a few aftermarket parts and vinyl wrap that needs to be replaced as part of the repair. The quote/check for the repair does not include just three items and the shop is saying that they will submit a separate claim/payment for that item after everything else is repaired and done. Additionally, they are saying that after all of that, I need to go get a quote for the wrap and submit that separately on my own to see if Tesla will reimburse me for it. Anyone have any insight on this? At this point, it has taken me several months to even get a reply back from the shop, I almost want to just ask for a check and get it done elsewhere or figure it out on my own. The only issue is the check was sent to the shop as a two person check, so I almost feel like I will be stuck with this shop.

I have a 401k with my previous employer at Principal. Principal also added $15 into a Roth IRA (unbeknownst to me). This is causing problems. I would like to roll over the 401k into my Traditional IRA at a different financial institution. Principal is charging $50 as a distribution fee. That's fine. However, they are charging an additional $50 distribution fee to rollover the $15 Roth IRA. When I go through the forms to do the rollover, Principal errors out telling me I can't rollover because "You requested a distribution amount that's greater than the maximum amount available." I am feeling very trapped by Principal and these feels extremely shady. Any advice to get through this?

I live in Ohio and have State Farm for my homeowners policy. My roof was damaged by wind end of September 2024 and siding was torn off my house. I also have water damage inside my home. I had a contractor out and State Farm had their contractor out to assess damage. I have a $6k deductible and State Farm deemed it was repairable. Payout is $4k but I appealed because of the matching code in Ohio and I don’t agree the roofing repairs will match my current roof. In the meantime, another storm passed through and now shingles are flying off my house. I am 20 years in on a 30 year shingle. State Farm wants me to file a new claim, and a new $6k deductible. I believe they should have covered it from the beginning. Now what do I do?

My first mistake was insuring through state farm. My second mistake was using one of the preferred shops that state farm recommends. My liftgate had a dent covering 40% of the area of the surface plus it was bent on the inside frame. State farm insist they can repair this by bending the panel back in place and filling with bondo. This is the worst way to fix this door, but State Farm doesn't care they just want a cheap repair. STATE FARM IS NOT A GOOD NEIGHBOR - THEY ARE VERY DECEPTIVE AND WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CAR REPAIRS THEY WILL SCREW YOU BIG TIME.

Wondering if anyone has experience with something like this.  We bought a house (with a mortgage) a little under 2 months ago.  We were told by our agent to push off the insurance (Citizen's) inspection as much as we could, as the house was in need of renovations and we would be doing them as soon as we closed.  We did "too good" a job pushing it off, and we got a cancellation warning that it would be cancelled Aug 4th because the inspection wasn't scheduled.  We then scheduled the inspection to take place on August 4th, which happened. In the meantime, the insurance company cancelled in the insurance because apparently the inspection needs to be uploaded in their system to retract the cancellation (even though the letter only specified that it was cancelled because the inspection had not been \*scheduled\*) We spent the week trying to get it reinstated, only to find out at the end of the week that the inspection had failed, and under normal circumstances, they would give a warni

Hi, our new 2024 Tesla Model Y LR was declared totaled by Tesla Insurance and they are valuing the car at $39,451, which we don't think is fair. We bought the car in mid-Aug 2024, had only put 1316 miles before we were involved in a crash on Dec 03, 2024. We were at fault party (there was no other party involved) , so we filed a claim with our Auto Insurance which is from Tesla Insurance. We are in Fairfax, VA, but the valuation report uses for reference a similar Tesla in Apopka, FL, \~ 1000 miles away !. Btw list price of the Apopka, FL was $ 40,900 and it had 3904 miles on it. Also they have listed the Vehicle Condition as Good/Well Maintained across different areas. We do not know the scale Audatex (3rd party company who provided the valuation report) uses but our car was impeccably maintained and its condition was 'Excellent'. Need advice on how to fight back. Thanks. # From the Valuation Report: **Vehicle Condition** * Seats: Good * Carpets: Good * Int Trim: Good * Glass: Good * Headliner: Good * Body: Good * Paint: Good * Ext Trim: Good * Engine: Well Maintained * Transmission: Well Maintained * Front Tires: Good * Rear Tires: Good **Valuation Details:** * Price ( Comparable Vehicle, Apopka, FL) : $ 38,501 * Odometer Adjustmentd : $270 * Tow Hitch Package : $ 680 * TOTAL: 39,451 **Adjustments of Special Note** * An odometer adjustment of $0.1050 cents per mile/kilometer has been applied. This adjustment is based on the vehicle year, vehicle category and market area. Odometer adjustments are capped at 40% of the vehicle's starting value. * Typical miles for this 2024 Tesla Model Y in Virginia is 20,999. * No special adjustments were made for this vehicle. * All values are in U.S. dollars.

My car is being considered Totaled based on the accident photos. To determine the value of the car the adjuster is asking me to take pictures of the inside of the car only. I requested for them to send someone over to look at the car in person, and they say they don't send appraisers to look at cars, that they only base it on the pictures. They said that if I wanted to get the car repaired that I can, but they would consider it as "Salvaged" and there's a process for that. They would send me a salvaged title, etc. Wouldn't they assess it lower based on inside images only? What about the rest of the car, they don't care about it? What can I do about this. I have also let them know I paid for my registration, bought some new lights, tires, etc. recently, and they asked for the receipt of these items, which I will send but how can I know that I'm not being offered really low? What makes me the most concerned is that I had a body shop come see the car and they tell me that they consider the car's value much higher than the repair. This is why I wish they could bring someone over instead. The car aside the accident part, is in great shape, why can't they be fair and bring someone to do this properly? This is being done by the other driver's insurance.
