Using a throw away account... I have Kaiser through work. Since I've been on my current plan for the past 3 months, Kaiser has terminated my insurance on the last day of the month. According to the payroll company (ADP), my benefits are valid and from what I can tell, dental and vision (not through Kaiser) are also valid. I don't understand why this keeps happening. The only thing I can think of is that it's a Northern California plan and I live in SoCal. I lived in SoCal when I selected my plan and was told it shouldn't be an issue, but now I'm questioning that. Last time it happened HR confirmed that it shouldn't again, but here we are. This is a tremendous hassle every time it happens since both my husband and myself need to have our SoCal and NorCal medical record numbers linked and then it takes several days before we can access anything on the website in our region.  Does anyone have insight into how or why this keeps happening? I'm at my wits end.

I posted here a couple days ago about a stolen motorcycle (thank you all for reminding me not to commit fraud) and I called Geico about some questions I had. The told me I could get the collision and comprehensive policy right now, after the theft, and if the person who stole my motorcycle gets into a crash with a stationary object or another car and the motorcyclist is at fault I could be compensated. I got qouted for the coverage and it's $4,717.62! I paid $791.07 originally and the new total will be $5,508.69. I'm assuming since this policy covers the vehicle its more but $4,717.62 is absolutely crazy. I don't think I will be getting the policy at this point because of the depreciation on the bike makes it worth around $8,000 and the insurance would be almost half what the bike is worth. Even at rates of a new rider that seems fairly high. I apologize for the rant, QUESTION: Is this a normal quote for the policy on a motorcycle or is that something because I am a new rider?

Just sharing an experience that may be helpful to others. I signed upon or Trupanion about 4 years about based upon Wirecutter's review at the time saying that their increases over time were modest and product was good. When I got my puppy four years ago, the rate was $70 month. Fast forward three and a half years and my rates were $103 ( not too modest in my opinion). I just got an email saying that my rates were going from $103 to $135. That's an astronomical increase in my opinion. It got me wondering what Im going to be paying when my dog is 11 years old and he may need the insurance, $300/month? More?I decided it was no longer for me and I wanted to cancel. Customer service was relatively good till this point. But when I wanted to cancel they made it EXTREMELY difficult. I could find nowhere on the website to cancel until finally finding some back alley link that said I had to call them on the phone to cancel. Annoying... shady... but fine. I called them and waited on hold for five mins for someone to take my info. They did, then they said they had to transfer me to the cancelation department. Shock and surprise it was a 20 minute wait. When I got the agent on the phone, they needed to take all the same info again, and then I was forced to sit through a 15 minute scripted summary of why my cancellation was a bad idea and why their rate hike was justified rather than them just taking my info and cancelling the subscription. They told me if I hung up and didn't listen to the whole spiel my insurance would not be cancelled. The whole thing felt like a forced captivity last ditch effort sales pitch to keep me, rather than facilitating what it was I called to do. Really disappointing customer service. To not have an online option to cancel in today's day and age is egregious. Forcing people to to listen to a sales pitch is customer relations malpractice.

Our puppy went to a few puppy socials in the past week. Today he started having a loud dry cough, so we took him to the vet. The vet diagnosed him with a minor respiratory illness. The vet wasn’t concerned because he was still eating well and had no change in energy level, but still prescribed him some cough suppressant. We mistakenly filed a claim to Trupanion at the vet to try to cover the medication. However, we were on day 28 of the 30 day waiting period and Trupanion denied the claim. Furthermore, Trupanion now saying that “cough” is a pre-existing condition and we will no longer be able to submit any claims for “cough” in the future. I saw that some insurance providers delineate between curable and non-curable pre-existing conditions. Does anyone know if Trupanion does this? Additionally, is there any way to get the “cough” removed as a pre-existing condition from Trupanion or are we screwed? Thank you!

Got the new 2025 Auto Insurance invoice from Erie Insurance. The only thing I can figure is one of my adult sons hit an unknown object lying in the middle of the turnpike late at night that resulted in some damage to one of our cars. It wasn't anyone's fault and Erie ended up paying out about $3,500 for repairs. But I don't think that justifies such a huge rate increase for each vehicle!!! **Anyone else get huge price jumps from Erie Insurance?** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_2013 Accord| 2010 LaCrosse| 2013 Sienna| 2021 Accord| 2017 Accord| 2024 Cost|        $ 436.00|        $ 207.00|        $ 326.00|        $ 368.00|        $ 371.00| 2025 Cost|        $ 634.00|        $ 337.00|        $ 733.00|        $ 699.00|        $ 596.00| % Increase\_\_\_\_\_\_+45%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+63%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+125%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+90%\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+61%

Hello, I bought a vehicle in New York.. had it shipped to California.. Vehicle arrived damaged during transport.. Transport Company stayed at a rest stop, another vehicle/truck backed up and hit Transport Trailer where my vehicle is secured.. Truck at fault denied my insurance claim.. Per the Insurance they don’t have coverage.. I filed a claim against the Transport Company who was transporting my vehicle, Progressive their insurance denied the claim with reason of Transport Company not cooperating with there investigation and unable to verify information that is necessary to confirm valid coverage for the incident.. What’s my next step? any advice? I’d like to avoid filing a claim against my insurance.. also, should I lawyer up? any suggestions? location is California.. Thanks

Long story short. I brought my car into a NJ location while on business (I'm from Maryland) to get a pair of front driveshafts put into a 2013 Mercedes Benz GLK 250 and they didn't remove one simple little circlip that held one of them into the oil pan underneath the motor. (it's AWD). They proceeded to beat the ever living daylights out of the drivers side front driveshaft to the point that it broke the shoulder that held that circlip, and therefore the driveshaft, into the oil pan. I had to tow the car six hours home and had to have the drivetrain completely removed from the car so that the oil pan could be replaced. It was professionally done and I have all of the old parts to prove my point. The car is now fixed and, at minimum, I am out $7k. Firestone, the corporation is based out of Nashville, TN. How should I go about finding a lawyer that is based there? Or does it matter? As a matter of principle I am not letting this go.

Got into a crash in the state of FL, parked in a parking spot and had to realign myself to be straight. The parking spots are aligned at a 45 degree angle. I reversed just enough that my rear wheels were visible, there was no vehicle next to me parked that could’ve potentially been blocking the vision of my vehicle, I was in the travel lane and as I was about to shift into drive, a vehicle driving westbound hit me in my rear-end and spun me around facing the opposite direction of travel, the whole back end of my vehicle is smashed in and not drive-able. It’s a 15mph travel zone and safe to say nobody drives 15mph through this spot. The damage of my vehicle definitely looks like more like 25-30mph. Cops talked to me and other driver but in the written statement wrote that I was reversing and then got hit which wasn’t true. Also said that it’s a no-fault state and so she could’ve written me a ticket. I’ve only had the car for barely a month and paid $3k for it, I have progressive insurance at the state-minimum required. After the crash my back and shoulder hurt. I just want to know what can I do, any help is really appreciated because I need a new car as soon as possible. Location: Florida

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

My wife was in a single vehicle collision. Broke her ankle and cannot walk. I am looking into renting her a wheelchair but the TD insurance adjuster is being evasive. Before I go all in on this, I am looking for the opinions of people here. Would her wheelchair be covered by TD insurance?
