I am getting a new car delivered to me friday and trading my old one in, I went to update my insurance policy through state farm & it’s showing my total change cost to be $733 just to remove my old car & add the new one. Is this normal? That seems insanely high

A few weeks ago, I was in a car accident while driving my parents' car that I wasn’t in fault. When I called my parents insurance company they told me i wasn’t covered by their insurance policy and didn't say anything and said to call the other party to solve this they didn't informed me on any of the steps so I assumed that I have to only call the other persons insurance. I wasn’t covered under my parents insurance, as they excluded me from due to not having 3 years o experience and I had no idea how much this would impact me. This was totally my fault for not being informed. My parents don’t speak good English and the language barrier wasn’t clear whether they added me or removed me from their policy. I'm a full time student taking 30 units this spring and currently I live with my boyfriend near my campus and visit my parents about once a month. That day, I just wanted to go to the gym and didn't think much about it so I drove myself since my parents were busy. I never thought that one small decision could turn into something so overwhelming. I’ve only been driving for a year, and this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. I didn’t even know that I was supposed to notify the DMV if the accident caused more than $1,000 in damage. I’ve tried everything I called my parents’ insurance company, I called the DMV to request a hearing but they told me there’s nothing I can do because I wasn’t covered. Now, I’m facing the possibility of having my license suspended, and I feel completely lost. Is there *any* way to stop this from happening? I don’t want one mistake to take away my ability to drive. If anyone has advice or knows what I can do, I’d truly appreciate it.

I've had this insurance for my great dane as soon as I adopted him at 1 yr 4 months. And it has suddenly quadrupled. I paid around $1k a year, unlimited, 80% reimbursement, and it was worth it due to random illnesses and injuries. When he hit 7 they doubled it to $2k a year (this year). We just moved from IN to CO and I got hit with an additional bill since now the premium is over $4k a year. Like what the hell is this?

I have a pair of Sphynx cats—both female, spayed, and 1.5 years old. Right now, I have Trupanion for their pet insurance, and overall, I’ve had a good experience with them. That said, one of my girls had an allergic reaction earlier this year that required multiple follow-up visits, and the out-of-pocket costs for exams alone really added up. I reached out to Trupanion, and they said I’m allowed to have a separate wellness plan from another provider to help cover things like exam fees and routine care. So now I’m on the hunt for a solid wellness plan—mainly one that covers exams, vaccines, and most importantly, the annual HCM screening for both girls. Trupanion might or might not cover that since it’s kind of a gray area between diagnostic and preventive. I’m betting they’ll treat it as preventive, so I want a backup plan. Any recommendations for wellness plans or other insurance options? Every time I think I’ve found a good one, I come across a flood of awful reviews (though I know that’s just the nature of insurance). I do plan to call and confirm coverage details before signing up, and I’ll also ask if they can review my girls’ vet records to determine what they’d consider pre-existing. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I’ve been a loyal Healthy Paws customer for 13 and a half years—since the day I brought my puppy Bellah home. Over the years, I’ve paid thousands of dollars into this policy with the trust and belief that when the time came—especially in her final stages of life—Healthy Paws would be there for us. Instead, with no prior notice, Bellah’s monthly premium has been raised from $250 to nearly $800. At nearly 14 years old, with limited time left, my dog is being priced out of her coverage when she needs it most. I’ve called. I’ve waited. I’ve been hung up on. I’ve sat on hold for hours, only to speak to customer service reps who are either powerless or unwilling to help. Not a single person has shown any compassion or even attempted to work with me. I wasn’t expecting a miracle—but I did expect humanity. Bellah is not just a pet—she is family. And now, in what should be her most peaceful time, she is being made into a financial burden. After over a decade of loyalty, this is the treatment we’ve received: silence, indifference, and a quadrupled premium. Healthy Paws, this is not how we honor the animals who have given us their unconditional love. This is not dignity. This is not care. This is not right.

Is it even legal for Healthy Paws pet insurance to increase premiums at almost 200% in CA? This is outrageously high!! Anyone experiencing the same? #healthypawspetinsurance

Can anyone give me tips on how my Ucare/DentaQuest can cover my teenagers braces because she has a very wide noticeable gap on her teeth from the fact that she was born with an extra tooth and had to get it removed and rarely smiles with her teeth anymore. She’s done 2 orthodontic evaluations for them and they keep denying her but she really does need them and that’s all she’s asking for her birthday this month but they keep telling me she needs a medical reason or doesn’t fit the certain conditions they approve but I can’t afford to pay them out of pocket.

I got new policy update and they was telling me that I can't get any better rate because I had 3 accidents it wasn't my fault. 2 of the accidents just policy report but never file a claim or follow up since it's not bad damage. Any advice how to take on this??

I go through the prompts, I get connected to someone, and I just hear a conversation between two people talking about random things that I can barely make out. They don’t respond to me so I hang up and try again, same thing. What is actually going on? Do customer service reps just answer and then ignore people so they’ll hang up?
