My dog (cocker) is just over 2 years old, I was with Waggle before but they just keep increasing the price each year and I have never needed them for anything. No claim, no nothing & the only vet she ever needed I paid out of pocket. So decided to cancel and look at other options. I doubt I'll get lucky but is any insurance like an NHS service where I can just pay a monthly fee then everything is covered? Like how us as a human went into a hospital and It's free as we pay for it monthly I spoke to my vet who said insurance works like reimbursement where I would have to outright pay example £10,000 then claim it back from my insurance but I don't have £10,000 just sitting in my bank so how would it work otherwise? (first time doggo owner so sorry if these seem stupid asking)

I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense or for any errors, I am in shock. I have a state specific BCBS under my parents (meaning I’m the dependent). Last year after I moved out of state, they told me that they cover providers out of state. I’ve never had an issue with this. Now, I’m getting claims that I owe $700, $2,000, etc for every visit I’ve had this year (I have a chronic condition so, lots of visits). Turns out, our plan doesn’t cover out of state anymore. Were any of us informed of this? Haha no of course not silly! When did it start? Last year, ya know, when they were still telling me I was covered. I found these providers on the insurance website which is the big kicker & I had no idea bc I assumed “found on insurance website + office taking insurance + no bills yet = I’m covered”, but apparently I’m just that stupid. I even called to ask about providers. Now I owe $6,000+ that I don’t have. I’m in my 20s & in constant pain. I can’t afford not going to work despite hurting & not being able to breathe & now it seems like I can’t even afford living. They said the only thing I can do is submit a bunch of appeals saying I didn’t know about the policy change. I can’t go see doctors anymore. My job doesn’t provide insurance. If I want a plan that covers my health problems, it would be a minimum of $400/month which is insane. I don’t know what to do. Anyone else experience this?

I need advise/help on how to proceed. I live in Houston Texas and have lived in my house for about 11 years. We had some hail damage to our roof that happened last (2024) and have had at least 4 contractors come inspect our roof nd give us a quote. The cheapest quote so far is $9000. My home insurance is with All State. They sent adjuster to take a look at our and finally say the damage they see is not much and at most would cost $3000 to fix which is below our deductible. I am so upset. I have diligently paid for insurance for 11years without submitting a single claim and now I have a legitimate one they are giving us the run around. How do I proceed from here? There is absolutely no way to fix the damage for $3000. How can I make the insurance company pay for this? I am lost. Please any advise is appreciated.

About a week ago, I was stopped in traffic when a woman rear-ended me. I won’t go into all the details, but she was a bit evasive at the scene. She did give me her insurance information, though. I only have liability coverage through my own policy, so I filed a third-party claim with hers. I called her insurance today, and they told me she hasn’t responded to their attempts to get her statement. The evidence is pretty clear - she had a license plate cover on the front of her car, and the text from it literally left an imprint, like a stamp, dead center on the rear bumper of my car. I really need my car, but my rear bumper is sagging, and I don’t think it’s safe to keep driving it like this. Based on her behavior at the scene and the fact that she’s now ghosting her insurance, I have a strong feeling she’s just going to keep evading responsibility. Given this, I’m wondering: is it okay if I pay out of pocket to fix my car now and then sue her in California small claims court to recover the cost? If so, what kind of evidence should I gather to make my case? For example, should I ask the auto body shop for a written statement detailing the damage and cost to repair? Thanks in advance.

My health insurance company won’t use the word “covered.” They only use the word “consider,” even when the category is “benefits and coverage.” One of their agents told me they can’t use the word “cover.” For example, in a recent communication they said, "Home health care must be approved in advance, (pre-authorization), and is limited to 90 visits per plan year. Once approved, services provided by an In-Network PPO provider will be considered at 100 percent of the allowable charge with no co-pay. “ This statement doesn’t make any sense. They said it has been “approved.” What is left to “consider?”

Hi all, Looking for some advice on this situation: I had a motorcycle insurance policy with Hastings Direct while riding on a CBT (A1/A2 licence). A few days ago, I passed my full A licence and phoned them to update my details. They then told me that, due to their underwriting criteria, they can no longer insure me with a full licence — and that the policy would be cancelled from the 18th of July 2025. Shortly after the call, I received an official email confirming the cancellation. It states: “We’re writing to let you know that your bike insurance policy has been cancelled… This is because of the new information provided. Based on these details, it means we can no longer cover you.” However, during the phone call, I specifically asked if I’d need to declare this cancellation to other insurers. The rep told me no, I wouldn’t have to, because it wasn’t cancelled due to anything I did wrong (no missed payments, no claims, no dishonesty). They said it was purely down to a change in licence type and eligibility. I’ve emailed them asking for that in writing to cover myself — but in the meantime: ⸻ My questions are: 1. Do I actually need to declare this as a cancellation when applying for future bike insurance? 2. If I don’t declare it (based on what Hastings told me), can another insurer later void my policy if they find out? 3. Has anyone else experienced something similar? ⸻ I’m trying to avoid getting hit with sky-high premiums over something that wasn’t my fault. Any advice from people in the industry or who’ve been through similar would be much appreciated! I’ll be pretty shocked if I find out I need to declare this going forward as the policy cancellation outcome has been completely out of my control. Simply phoned to let them know I have now passed my MOD2, I wasn’t looking to change my bike or anything else whatsoever and wanted to continue my policy for the time being with my 2011 Honda CBR. Also worth mentioning — Hastings waived any cancellation fees, and I’m getting a refund for the unused portion of the policy. That seems to suggest they don’t consider it a “bad cancellation,” but I want to make sure I’m not risking non-disclosure by trusting what they said on the phone. Thanks in advance.

I was driving east on 71 headed home for the day after work when someone pulled out from a stop sign on Albert Brown Drive. I was luckily able to maneuver around the person without making any contact with the vehicle however in doing so my vehicle spun out and landed in a ditch. Vehicle is totaled, my head was bleeding from a minor cut, cut on my leg, bruise on my shoulder, little bit of neck pain but the worst was the red mark on the back of my ribs and a coupled ribs being bruised. Sucks I had just bought the car not a month ago and was a fairly rare 1993 Volvo 240 sedan that was black on black with chrome accents, super slick car and I looked forever until I could find it. Geico called me and said how usually this is an odd case because there was no contact with the other vehicle however the driver and police report said it was his fault so Geico is wanting to offer me a settlement. they offered $2,450 as basically "we sorry" this happened and will still cover the medical expenses from the ER and the vehicle cost's. Just not sure if I should take the offer being the wreck caused me to lose two days of work at one job and haven't been able to go back to my other job since I don't have a vehicle. Also I have racked up close to 300 dollars on Lyft rides, plus 150 to have my totaled car taken home and have my girlfriend leave work to drive 30 minutes to get me and take me to the ER. Also missed one of my best friends birthday parties the day after the accident and haven't been able to go back running or working out since the accident. I'm debating on hiring an attorney but resistant since my medical injuries were not severe. Also I have no idea how much they will pay out for the vehicle and online says 2000-7000 just sucks cause I can't find another car like it and not to mention I just spent 600 plus dollars on parts for the car. If anyone has had this similar experience what did you do, did you take the initial offer, negotiate with the insurance company or go through an attorney. I greatly appreciate anyones advice and input. Also if anyone has a 2001-2006 Honda CR-V for sale that's what I will be looking for once this is settled.

Has anyone successfully moved their IRA from Inspira to Vanguard with an "in kind" transfer? It's impossible to reach anyone via phone at Inspira for help!

I originally signed up for the Chase $900 bonus approximately 18 months ago, but didn't end up depositing any money into either the checking or savings accounts (ended up not having enough liquidity at the time due to unexpected events). They ended up closing both accounts after 30 days with a $0 balance on both. I confirmed this with a Chase representative on the phone. However, he claimed I was not eligible even though I would appear to technically meet the eligibility criteria (account not closed in the last 90 days; no accounts closed with negative balance in the last 3 years; only allowed to receive one new checking and one new savings account opening bonus every two years from the last coupon enrollment date and only one bonus per account). He claimed that I had closed my account too recently, even though the plain text of the offer would seem to suggest otherwise. Has anyone had any experience with a situation like this? Is there something else I'm missing here as to why I might not be eligible? Will Chase let me know whether I am eligible or not when I open the accounts? Or do I only find out when I end up receiving (or not receiving) the bonuses? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Question, we filed a claim on our house in 2023 due to damage from a wind storm. There was damage to the siding on one side. It was repaired but the siding didn't match and my state has a matching clause. Progressive paid a supplement amount to have the whole house sided based on an estimate from our contractor and then told us basically that's it, we are done you don't have to show proof of repair like we are done. The contractor we had then said that wasn't enough to cover what he needed to complete the job, so we paid him for the repairs he completed and made sure everything was good, we then utilized the balance of the left over insurance to make some updates/ repairs to our property since the amount wasn't enough to finish the full siding of our house. Fast forward to a month ago we had a major hailstorm and it obliterated our siding, roof, gutters, etc and progressive is saying they will not replace the siding again since they paid out a claim previously to do a full siding. Are they able to do that? I can't find anything in my insurance contract that says we had to utilize that money for repairs ok that specific item and the repairs to the siding were done they just didn't match our siding completely.
