Hi everyone, I’m 24 years old and have been under my moms auto insurance (geico) since I was 19 years old. My bill initially used to be $175 however after my mom got into a car accident it went up to $230. Unfortunately I had an incident in October 2024 where I fit a pedestrian (he’s okay) and now I have to pay $450 monthly. Is there anything I can do to lower it ? I don’t know 100% that the insurance went up because of the incident that I had but I’m assuming it’s because of that. I tried getting quotes at other insurance companies solo however they’re quoting be about $400 monthly for insurance under my name alone. Can someone please give me advice

I’m moving from Oregon to Los Angeles & my wage is still quite low, but the move is justified because I should go up in salary much quicker in due time. I have to change my car insurance over & my rate with Progressive will go from $133 for comprehensive to about $400. What insurance do I really need in the event of an accident & how can I lower this cost as low as possible? Anyone have really cheap rates with other companies? Car is a 2015 Nissan Altima.

Gcredit 151 na utang Hello guys. Sobrang taas kasi ng penaalty na pinataw sakin ni Gcredit, napabayaan ko na din ilang buwan kasi nalimutan ko na meron pala akong existing na na-utang don i think mula sa pagloload lang. Nung binuksan ko, 1500 ung penalty pero yung utang ko is 151 lang huhu. Feeling ko sobra naman yung penalty at nagcontact ako sa customer service ni gcash at email ng collection pero wala reply sa email at sa help center is wala silang nagagawa. Parang ayoko bayaran dahil feeling ko excessive naman. Total is 1651 lahat from 151 na utang. I know na fault ko na hindi lagi nagchecheck ng accounts ko pero balak ko naman sana bayaran pero hindi sana ganiyan kalaking penalty na 10x sa loan ko. I did research and saw BSP Circular No. 1133, series of 2021 which is "A total cost cap of 100 percent of total amount borrowed (applying to all interest, other fees and charges, and penalties) regardless of time the loan has been outstanding." valid po ba ito kay gcredit? Should that mean na 151 lang din dapat ang max fee (penalties, service charge and interest) na babayaran ko with my loan totalling to 302 pesos max?

Hello! I recently rear ended someone recently and this accident ended up totalling my car. I have geico insurance and they are stating that I only get 3 days with my rental car. My policy does not say that anywhere. They severely undervalued my car. I compared it to KBB and other cars with similar make and models and mileage. I sent them these and they told me to hire an independent appraiser. I don't have the funds to hire someone to do this. They are going to make me turn in my rental car before they even pay out any money so I can get a new vehicle. I have asked my adjuster to send me where in my policy it states this and they have been unable to provide me a location in my policy where anything that they are citing is stated.I am feeling a bit lost and hopeless and I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue before or if they have any advice. Any would be great! Thank you so much!

Hi y’all. I recently opted to cover my cat. I’m paying a bit more than I’d like to, but I’m willing to keep the policy if it’s a good investment. My cat has a preexisting condition they won’t cover. That sucks. Online I’m seeing customers were dropped due to aging pets. What are your experiences with this company? Is it ok or should I run in the other direction?

Hello, I have an HSA with Optum Bank that I am transferring to another institution. A couple of weeks ago, I had a phone call with Optum where they had told me to liquidate my investments before initiating the transfer. Right after we hung up the phone, I liquidated all my investments and initiated the transfer with the other institution (Fidelity). I sold X amount of shares of VFIAX at share price of $565.06. A few days after liquidating everything, there was a purchase of shares on my account using my entire account balance, purchasing shares of VFIAX at a share price $567.88. It turns out that my account had a flag named HSA auto-transfer enabled, which is the cause of this. VFIAX has dropped a significant amount since this purchase was made. As of now, it is priced at $530 per share, which will drop even lower today. I am upset because the representative from Optum did NOT inform me that auto-invest was enabled, and my entire portfolio is down about 7% due to this. I just spoke with a supervisor at Optum to see if they can reverse this transaction and they said there is nothing they can do. The only thing I can do from this point is to disable auto-invest and liquidate all my shares for a loss. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm upset that I have to take a loss due to the phone rep not telling me to disable this feature. It's also caused delay on the transfer process to Fidelity.

Hi all, Like the title says, I'm having a super hard time finding insurance. I've reached out to Next, The Hartman, and Hiscox; I've been referred to Tivily and then transferred from there to Thimble who turned me down, and I have yet to be connected to anyone who can offer coverage. I recently launched a for-profit s-corp, 501(c)(3) fiscally sponsored disability resource center that supports individuals across the lifespan in my community. We're launching an adaptive equipment library, classes and services, 1:1 peer mentoring, and community education. I'm the owner and we're a team of 3 volunteers. All of our service offerings are free but we're in the process of applying for grants and contracting with Medi-Cal, CalAIM, and SARC. We also are opening a physical center to act as a social/community space and adaptive store. Ideally, we will be expanding our program offerings this year. Everything is on hold because I can't find an insurance provider and we can't get contracts without it. Any help and advice is welcome.

Cardiologist ordered a CT for my heart. Pre-authorization approved by insurance but for cost estimate at BCBS website I will still roughly pay about 2K while they will cover about $1600. I have BCBS PPO with $3200 deductible. Would the hospital billing department be able to give me my actual cost before I go through with the procedure. I just don’t want any more surprises after getting hit with a $3K hospital bill for my son’s ambulance and ER TRIP.

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??

So my son receives ABA services through a tier 1 provider. This goes through deductible and coinsurance. $650 individual deductible, $2000 coinsurance (minus prescription and copay, solely for him, the numbers mentioned don't apply to family deductible). $0 is covered until the $650 is hit, 80% is covered until $2000 is hit, then 100% covered after. So I call up insurance because last year's bills are much higher than expected. I don't even know the total yet for just last year. And I can't look at the online EOBs yet until tomorrow. So, $650 is covered very quickly. Then there's a $6000 bill (for one date of service) sent to insurance. 80% is covered, we cover 20%. This is where I get so confused. Apparently because the first day wasn't processed first ($11,000) and this $6000 was processed first, she said we are actually paying so much less money overall for the year. We have to pay for the 20%... But it doesn't sound like it counts towards the $2000? We might be paying a total of $4,000-$5,000 once this is all said and done. It went like this... "So if I've already paid the $2,000 towards ABA, why do I have to pay over that?" "Because you're responsible for 20% after the $650 is paid until you reach the $2,000. You're actually paying so much less because that $11,000 wasn't processed first, so you're coming out on top. Otherwise you would have had to pay $2,2000." My brain hurts. I don't know what's going on. That would have put me over the $2,000 and it sounded like he still wouldn't have been considered as reaching the $2,000.... Someone please explain 😭
