Ok, progressive is sending me a massive rate hike for next month, and i've had it. I need the literal cheapest option, for insurance prices , here in CA. Its insane. I cant pay 1000 a year for a crappy car, so i need the affordable answer. Hope someone has answers out there. hope.

I hit a deer in August. Geico totalled the truck when the repair costs were $7263 and they valued my truck at $12,043. That is only 60% of the value of the truck, and half of the estimated repair cost was paint. I had the vehicle repaired by October. Geico told me I need to submit a physical copy of the salvage title application. I asked multiple times if i could submit it via pdf but they said no. I submitted the application in September, and never heard anything back. By December I reached out to the DMV about it and they said they had contacted Geico November 6th saying my application was denied because it was handwritten. Geico never reached out to me about this, and at this point I had been out of a vehicle for 4 months. They offered no compensation at all. No rental car. As of March 13th I still have not been able to get the truck on the road. Everyone in my life knows that this has beaten me to death emotionally and mentally. I believe Geico totaled my vehicle unfairly, and then made the rest of the process incredibly difficult. This has cost me a lot of money and has stressed me out more than anything I have ever experienced.

Hi I got nexplanon and was billed by planned parenthood for $400, my insurance Community Health Plan of Washington states it covers birth control, but I’m getting charged $400 for the insertion? Is this correct or should I be completely covered by my insurance?

I filed my taxes through TaxAct and last night I received an email from their reviewer (a very generic "we need more time to look at this" email) - After I received this, I started receiving emails from other personal Gmail accounts to TaxAct with my email CC'd - one of them actually greeted me directly, as though I were the TaxAct representative. I'm not sure how this happened, because when I look at the original message it appears to be addressed only to me. The only thing I can even think of is that perhaps these other people were BCC'd on the email addressed to me? Because they for sure have my email copied in their replies. This seems like a huge breach of data privacy as I now have full names and email addresses of their clients, and they have mine. I tried calling their customer support this morning and the rep I spoke with didn't seem to understand why I was upset - and when I asked to speak to a supervisor I kind of got placated and passed around with a "they'll call you". I'm not sure if this truly breaches any kind of data privacy law or how I even begin to handle it. Location: California

Hey folks, my son was in a n accident a year ago. A driver hit him and a number of other people on the freeway. Son was NOT at fault and took the least of the overall damage. Mercury had me send the car to their adjuster and repair. It was fixed a year ago. All done I thought. Now I’m getting messages from the adjuster ranking for the EDR data from the car. What are my obligations here? The car was in another slight accident after this(hit a pole). Neither accident had airbag deploy. The letter they sent was quite demanding.

I was with progressive and I stopped being with them after an accident happened that I was put at fault, even though I wasn’t. Due to my lack of knowledge of how to even report an accident. After I paid my final bill from progressive they issued me another fee and so I didn’t pay it and now it’s affecting my credit which I want to get the claim off, but I don’t know how to explain that I was charge additionally for something that I honestly don’t know what the fee is for.

My friend in Texas lost her job a year ago and has been on BCBS healthcare through the market place. She suffers from a severely resistant rheumatoid arthritis and her biologics also caused her serious side effects of gut dysmotility and weak immune system. Just yesterday, she told me that she lost all access to her PCP , gasteroenterologist, orthopedic surgeon and psychiatrist, all of which are part of Southwestern Texas Health resources that have been battling withy BCBS over the contracts and stuff. She is applying for jobs left and right but we know how bad job markets are right now. What on earth is she supposed to do? All the doctors she has been seeing are out of network in other available health care plans.

I was rear ended last week while driving my 16-day old 2025 Subaru Outback Premium. The other driver was in a Hertz rental vehicle and his car was 'insured' with his Chase Business Ink Preferred card but that does not include liability insurance, and he does not have personal car insurance otherwise, so he does not have any insurance to cover the damage to my vehicle. He apparently lives fulltime in Israel although I think he is also a New Jersey resident. It is not clear to me how he could legally be driving a rental vehicle without liability insurance or how Hertz rented him a car without it but that is more of a side note since regardless of the circumstances he does not have liability insurance. I spoke with my insurance company, Geico, and they are directing me to go get my car fixed, to pay the deductible, and that they will confirm he is not insured and then pursue him personally through collections if needed. I am still waiting for the Geico coverage team to reach out to me since they apparently want to confirm this isn't a fraudulent claim as the vehicle and insurance are brand new so I am waiting to get the car repaired in the meantime. I did visit the Subaru mechanic earlier in the week and they thought that in addition to replacing the back bumper there is likely damage to the frame based on a visual inspection. Of course, they won't know anything for sure until they open the car up and look. They recommended that I make a claim for Diminished Value since the car is certainly worth a lot less than it was a couple days prior- I haven't even made my first payment on the $35k loan. I asked Geico about a Diminished Value claim but they told me that the claim needs to be filed against the other driver's insurance and that basically it doesn't have anything to do with them. I do have $250k of Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury/Supplementary Uninsured Motorist but apparently that doesn't do me any good (my car and insurance are New York). I have been in contact by text message with the other driver but I'm highly skeptical that he would pay me thousands of dollars out of pocket on top of the other liability that he has since his proposal to me was that I run this all through my insurance and he sends me $500 for the deductible "to make me whole". What are my options moving forward? Do I engage an assessor after the repairs are complete so that I have a record of the diminished value? Maybe it's better that I get a lawyer who has experience with this and can manage the court process for me since this will almost definitely go to small claims court?

Location: Texas Mind you we have been a returning customer for the last 9 years to the same salesman at the same dealership. He has always gone above and beyond with taking care of us with exceptional customer service to the point of even driving 2hrs to deliver our last leased vehicle in our driveway. So now the dilemma; we recently returned 2022 lease and signed a new lease for a 2025 at Infiniti dealership February 1st. After all the paperwork is completed we get keys for 2025 vehicle and drive home. Fast forward to February 22nd I see the reoccurring payment of $975 from the old 2022 leased vehicle. Then on 26th another one for $1130 for new 2025 lease which was expected. Wife contacts salesman and says he will look into it with Infiniti finance department. After a couple of days he tells us that Infiniti finance for the old lease had not yet received dealership check for the vehicle payoff, then proceeds to tell us after they receive it we would be receiving a reimbursement check in the mail “around” the same amount of $975 from old lease that we are no longer in possession of. Wife contacts Infiniti finance and they basically tell us that the dealership is at fault and it’s out of their hands. Now we are in April and salesman telling us he will get with GSM, but GSM is somehow always busy (out of office at auctions, yadda yadda). We have yet to receive the “check” or any further information on the matter from dealership. This our 4th vehicle through this dealership with no issues at all and now this. What route do I take? Anyone else ever have this problem? Do I take legal action over $975?

I am due to give birth end of May. The hospital that my obgyn is partnered/contracted with is where I went on 03/01 because I had a pregnancy scare. I went straight to Labor & Delivery and was there for a couple of hours. The on-call obgyn is the one that saw me. I have NOT received a bill yet, only an EOB from my primary insurance, stating that the claim was denied. In the EOB- it was stating that the hospital is an out of network facility. However, I’ve spoken to my insurance directly few different times who said the hospital that I went to indeed is an IN-NETWORK facility. Now the last agent I’ve spoken to today told me “address where the service was rendered is confirmed to be outside the network for the facility. Here is what adoress of the facility showing on the claim” and it’s a complete different address than the hospital I went to, like in a whole different state. The first agent that I spoke a couple weeks ago stated the claim type says “outpatient hospital non contracting”. The last time I tried contacting the hospital themselves, the agent was saying I need a bill/statement account number, which I didn’t and still don’t have because I was never sent a bill as of today and he said to wait until I get a bill. It’s been over a month and I still haven’t received a bill from the hospital from when I went to 03/01. I was going to explain my situation and how I still haven’t received a bill but the billing office is now closed. I do have secondary insurance but they didn’t even receive a claim from hospital, which I am assuming they didn’t even bill my secondary. I’m just so confused and overwhelmed! Does this sound like the hospital submitted the claim incorrectly?
