Here is my scenario: My mother owns a car that she would like to have my daughter drive for school high school. The car had been parked and was on a non-op status, and the car insurance was canceled. The car has been re-registered and is ready to go once we have the insurance question settled. My mother does not drive anymore and did not renew her drivers license the last time it came up for renewal. We called the insurance company to reactivate her policy, Direct Insurance, and were told that she cannot get a policy because she does not have a valid drivers license. After doing some research, I think these are my options, and I want to get some feedback: 1. Find a company that will write a policy where the owner of the vehicle is not licensed. Does anyone know of a company that does this? 2. My mother has a living trust that many of her assets are in, but not her car. Would it make sense to transfer the car into the trust, or am I still faced with exact the same problem? The final solution is for me to simply buy my mother‘s car. We are both a little hesitant to do this because my brother also drives it on occasion and she wants to make sure that it is still available for him. If I purchased it, I would still make sure it is available to him, but now I would need to make sure that my brother was on the insurance as an occasional driver. I suspect this will end up being the simplest course of action, but I wanted to make sure that there wasn’t something else I am overlooking. TIA! Edit: the car would be insured in California.

Location: Arizona My boyfriend and I rented an apartment about a month ago. Ever since staying there, we noticed a large, unavoidable amount of roaches. As stated in the contract, we were allowed to leave if the conditions were deemed unfit for living. We sent several emails regarding this situation, and even got bed bugs and have photos of proof of the roaches and bites as well as a doctor note. There were roaches in bags of potatoes, closed flour, and more. We had enough and left, leaving a letter saying we would be leaving and why. They are now trying to charge us 12k for the months that we left, and threatened to send to collections. We got an email this morning regarding the amount owed from collections. What can we do? We both don’t make enough to pay this off or to get a lawyer.

So I hit someone’s car and the damage was very minimal. Just a tiny dent and a scratch. I filed a claim, and the guy I hit said the damage was minimal so he wasn’t going to file one. I called yesterday to cancel and was told by progressive I would get a call today. I get a call and let the lady know I wanted to cancel because of the reason provided. She then gives me attitude over the phone and we hangup the call. What do I do in this situation ?

Has anyone used Clements Insurance? I'll be in Bangkok for 6 months to a year and I'm looking for full coverage on expensive personal property. They say they provide that coverage, but saying and doing....

I recently lost all my belongings due to mold in my house that I lived in July 2023-February 2025. I got insurance starting August 2024. I became very ill and moved in with family Dec 2024, returned to the room in Feb 2025 to find it covered in mold after a bad storm. I was not aware that the mold was causing my illness or that there was even mold in my home until Feb 2025. It’s looking like an almost complete loss of my belongings. My insurance company manipulated me into stating that the date of loss was Feb 2024, when I made a maintenance request to fix a leaky window. I didn’t understand the implications of this and the agent was kind of pushing me to agree that Feb 2024 was the “date of loss” and not Feb 2025, because that was the first documentation I had of a moisture issue in the house. The next day she tells me it’s unlikely I can recover any claim money because I got insurance in August 2024, and the loss happened before that date. Can anyone help? Id like to make an appeal if my claim is rejected but I’d like to know how I can defend myself here.

I have a six-year-old lab mix (50 lbs) who is in good health, but a couple months ago, she was limping a little bit and had an x-ray in which the vet I saw said there was some minor flattening of one of her hip joints. I have a family member who is a vet in another state, and she said from the scan she saw, there was nothing worth noting or treating and she seemed to be in perfect health for her age. She’s also stopped limping entirely about a week or so after that appointment. However, I know that the vet we saw does have it in her chart. I tried to file a claim on this, but as with literally every other claim I have ever made (nothing serious or crazy expensive so I let it go), it was denied. I have had Figo since I got her at 1.5 yo (rescue), but the same plan that I still have since I signed up shortly after adopting her started at about $25 a month, and now is creeping up to almost $125. My annual renewal date is mid February, so I have been thinking about making the switch. However, I am wondering if because of this last visit, if she were to develop hip dysplasia later in life, they would use that as an excuse not to cover anything. Barring any accidents or random injuries, it doesn’t seem at this point that anything else is concerning or showing signs of future problems at this point. She’s an inside dog and has always been up-to-date on her shot and flea, tick, and heartworm meds. The vet did bloodwork when I took her in for x-rays, and everything came back crystal clear, as it has any other time she has had blood work done. I’ve just become increasingly frustrated with Figo given the price hikes every year and their refusal to accept anything. I feel like I’m wasting my money, but don’t want to get screwed over later on if a new company sees it a pre-existing condition. But I’m also too anxious to not have any insurance at all. Anyone have experiences similar to this? Any advice? Do I just tough it out and keep shelling out the cash just in case? I know I should have probably switched years ago, but here we are.

I need some opinions on what to do. This is an odd situation. In past “pay up front cash” dental visits, the dentist offices, with a week or two, returned to me the covered expense/reimbursement from Blue Cross after they submitted the claim. However, this time, I went to an oral surgeon bc I needed a molar extraction that was complicated. I paid $1800 up front on credit card no problem. I would’ve paid double that with all the pain. About a week later I saw that I was covered for ~ $500 on the claim. A check was sent to oral surgeon’s office. When I called them they told me they were processing it and to be patient. This was a couple MONTHS ago. I last called on Monday 7/21 and was literally told, “check’s in the mail”. That’s pretty funny, especially since it is now Friday night and, of course, no check. Something quite fishy about this. I wonder if Blue Cross can do something. I’m interested in thoughts on this. TIA!

Hey denied my cat’s mycoplasma diagnosis because his first vet record shows he was sneezing (self report by us.) however, he is a Persian and they tend to sneeze for no reason. The sneezing he was doing when he got sick was WAY different than just a smelling around sneeze. Now they’re saying it’s a preexisting condition when it’s not! (It was a bacterial infection, he didn’t have it when we got him for sure). We got him in December and he got his cold in February. I’m so upset and really regretting getting Lemonade

I initially chose Trupanion because of its **per-condition deductible**, which seemed like a great deal. The idea that once you pay the deductible for a condition, you’re covered for life sounded like a financial safety net. **But there’s a catch**—what you think a condition is and what they classify it as can be entirely different. I have a **golden retriever** and live in **California**, where vet care is already expensive. Over the years, I’ve **paid thousands out of pocket** for the same recurring issues, thinking I'd eventually see the benefit of having met the deductible. Instead, I was repeatedly disappointed to find that Trupanion either classified the conditions differently or found other ways to deny meaningful coverage. Yesterday, when they pulled the same stunt yet again for one of my recent claims, I finally sat down and did the math. And what I found was infuriating: * **Total amount claimed (across multiple years):** $18,785.07 * **Total amount paid by Trupanion:** $4,074.02 * **Percentage of total expenses actually covered:** **21.69%** And this doesn’t even factor in the **monthly premiums** I paid on top of it. When I do the math, I might as well have **skipped insurance altogether** and just covered my pet’s medical bills myself. It would have cost me about the same, if not less. Now, I am considering switching to a different pet insurance. While they have a waiting period for **curable pre-existing conditions**, I am **happy to wait it out**—because let’s be honest, Trupanion isn’t paying for those conditions anyway. At this point, I might as well **put everything out of pocket** while I wait for better coverage. If you're considering Trupanion, **think twice**. Their deductible structure sounds promising, but their classification loopholes mean you might **never actually reach it** for conditions you thought were covered. At this point, I feel like I’ve wasted money that could have gone directly into my pet’s care instead of into an insurance plan that gave me little in return. I wouldn’t recommend Trupanion to anyone expecting true financial relief from pet medical expenses. **Save your money, start an emergency pet fund, and skip the frustration!**

Location: New Mexico, USA Hello, I work at a bed n breakfast. I make $15/hr, work about 20-25 hours per week with some fluctuations, 3-4 days per week, and will not work for 2 months out of the year when it is closed. I live nearby in a camper off grid. No criminal history. My employer pays in cash and does not offer health insurance or any benefits. I am working to apply for medicaid since my application for insurance through the marketplace flagged as possibly eligible for medicaid. They said I need a letter verifying my hours and wage from my employer. When I asked my employer for this, she said she didn't want to because of not wanting to draw attention to the business. So now I'm stuck without health insurance and wondering what to do. I am thinking that she may not be running the business legally on her end after this since she said she didnt want to have anyone from the state asking about the business. I am wondering, if I contact medicaid and inform them of this, will the business be audited and ruined? She is very vindictive and I just want to be cautious about my next move. I want health insurance of course, but it is a very rural area and the only business for 35 miles in any direction, so a lot of people rely on it. Should I just quit? Should I just get coverage through the marketplace? I don't really have much money so I would like to try and limit my expenses. Thank you for any information or advice.
