Have an issue with your insurance?
Let everyone know!
Insurance companies are constantly reviewing us. Are we too old? Do we live in the wrong place? Is our credit score high enough? Well, now it's time to turn the tables. Do you charge too much? Will you pay my claim quickly? Is your coverage worse than it seems? We can review you too.
First Acceptance - First Acceptance Renewal
I’m high risk. I have first acceptance because it’s what I can afford. I was waiting 3 more months for an accident to drop off so I could get better insurance. My policy is up for renewal 3/11 and I was going to pay it tomorrow.
Opened up my envelope and it says the due date is 2/25. They always want to paid by first and then you have until 11th of month to pay before it would cancel so that is what I expected. Instead it says that if I don’t pay by the due date then it’s canceled effective of that date, meaning 2/25. They can’t do that can they? The notice clearly states renewal starts 3/11 and my current card clearly states my insurance is through 3/11.
Banfield - Banfield Pet Package
I have one of my dogs on insurance, the other one isn't, both of them ended up with allergies before I was able to get insurance going (my first girl showed clinical signs in the first 2 weeks). It's unfortunate as they're both rescues and it's a bit out of my control as they weren't puppies when I got them. I'm thinking about cancelling my first girls because it's done absolutely nothing for me, and switching to Banfield's care packages. I currently pay $45 a month for one of mine.
Just curious if anyone has experience with them, and if so do they think it's worth it over actual pet insurance?
Progressive - Auto insurance recommendations - for someone with less than one year driving history in the US
I currently have Progressive but they just jacked up rates without even a "hey we are going to raise your premium from next month".
Erie Insurance is highly recommended but they seem to have strict criteria such as 3 year residency status (which is what an agent told me) hence am looking for other options.
I am looking for good customer service - does not give you the run around when you need them. Decent prices. I am not looking for the lowest rates but at the same time something that is fair. And transparent. I kinda feel cheated by Progressive who slyly raised the rates.
Am based in PA if that matters.
Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.
Pets Best - Pets Best Nightmare
We got pets best insurance a few years ago and this year our 9 year old dog was diagnosed with lymphoma. After a few months of receiving expected claims, they suddenly started denying everything, forcing us to appeal every time. After appeals, they usually end up paying, but it’s incredibly annoying. But this month, our policy renewal came and they DOUBLED our premium!! DOUBLED, in the first and only year where we actually made claims…. How is this legal? They say it’s across all their plans, but I don’t believe it for a second. Anyone have this happen?
Farmers Insurance - Car totaled July 4th
Alright here we go. So July forth I was going down a back road (rainy) as I cut the corner I see this Tahoe coming at me at a 90 degree angle (she lost control) and just smashes into me. I didn’t have insurance on this car I had it’s one of my cars I don’t drive often, but with all the pictures and you can clearly see it’s her fault farmers insurance is still denying that’s it her fault I’m at total loss of words (no dash cam) I’m not going down without a fight or a payout so I’m consulting a injury lawyer but is this how it really goes? The pictures her car is just layed smashed into my car and they say it wasent her fault?
BusyKid - BusyKid is a Predatory Scam
My wife and I recently opened a BusyKid checking account for my 8-Year Old son. We fell for the advertising for kids bank accounts online. BusyKid (BusyKid.com) advertises that they are a smart way to teach kids banking. For an annual fee of $48 (obviously high for a checking account), they have an app that allows parents to manage the child's money, set amounts they can earn for doing certain chores, etc. Kids even have the ability to send money to charity or invest in stocks. The app is fairly user friendly as well. The app i thought justified the high annual fee....
My son used the ATM for the first time yesterday. I had to show him step by step how to use it. The first question the ATM asks is if you'd like to see your balance. I encouraged him to select yes, so that he can view his balance before withdrawal. Today, we were reviewing his transaction and realized that BusyKid charges $1.00 for a balance inquiry and $1.50 for a withdrawal (on top of the ATM fee). To say that this shocked me is an understatement. I mean this company advertises that is protective of child spending. A fee for balance inquiry? My 8-year old does not have a phone. How else is he to check his balance? For whatever reason, I glossed over these fees when opening the account so thats a shame on me. But still, this seems predatory. For a company that is aimed toward minors, unneccessary fees like that is infuriating.
Anyway, that account is closing today and I am going to do everything I can to alert people of this fraud of a company.
TLDR: BusyKid charges fees for Balance Inquiries and ATM withdrawals to minors who dont know any better.
UPDATE: I want to make clear that I take full responsibility for opening the account, and I wasnt duped into signing up. The fee's aren't hidden, quite the contrary, they are right out in the open as we were emailed a notification of the charges.
It is only a $2.50 mistake, and also a little life lesson to myself and son to read everything before signing. Hopefully BK gets rid of those fees because everything else is really attractive for managing a younger kid's money.
Lemonade - Having issues with Lemonade pet Insurance
I’ve been using it for my dog for a few months now and I’m starting to feel uncertain about whether it’s the best option. The claims process has been much slower than expected, with a lot of in review updates and I haven’t received any reimbursements yet. It’s making me a little nervous especially since my vet bills are starting to stack up.
I’m just looking to see if others have had similar experiences and whether you think I should stick it out or switch to another insurer.
Lemonade - Lemonade pet insurance
Hello, I have lemonade insurance for all 5 of my cats. Today I got an email that my claim for my cat was only partially approved (the exam and urinalysis) but not the X-ray. The X-ray was to also check the bladder for uti, and some crystallization was found. They also X-rayed his lungs and found out he has mild asthma. They did not approve the X-ray (and will not approve future asthma treatments) as they’re saying it was a pre existing condition, but it is most definitely not. He went in for sickness twice and both times experienced wheezing because of the sickness and with X-rays was not diagnosed with asthma those times, he also has a nasal anomaly/polyp that causes a funny sounding breathing from his nose, again not asthma but this has been noted in his notes. Has anyone had this happened and successfully appeal? My vet is great and would likely write medical notes or a letter or whatever to help me get his asthma treatment covered.
RSPCA - RSPCA pet insurance keep calling
I looked online for a quote for pet insurance and the people at RSPCA have called twice already trying to get me as a customer and when I say no because I wanna look around at other options… they ask if I wanna sign up until I change my mind and then cancel
So annoying
Does this happen to anyone else ?
State Farm - Umbrella worth the cost?
Like home and car insurance in California, looks like Umbrella premiums have gone through roof. Is that true for others in Cali? I'm with State Farm.
$2M umbrella was a few hundred dollars last year; renewing now at $2400/year (no claims, no accidents, no lawsuits). 3 cars; 3 drivers. Own home. No pets, not much liability.
Anyone else got this sort of increase year over year?
