I was part of a bulk submission of cards. We insured them for shipping with FedEx for $26,000. FedEx deliver the box but it was kind of damaged. PSA signed for the box then decided that they were gonna refuse delivery and return to sender. PSA just then lost the box. PSA is taking responsibility but offering a low ball replacement value to people. For example, I had vintage cards and I've done the insurance about $200 and they are offering $10 a card. Is there any recourse?

I need some insight from others who seem to be having the same issue with rate increase on their dog’s premiums. My senior dog is going from $179 to $410. I cannot afford it but i need something in case he has an accident / medical emergency. What are you doing if you’ve also received a high rate increase? I understand pre existing conditions are not covered if we switch up. He is currently on an Apoquel medication for lifelong allergies, and so far so good healthwise. He is also a Saint Bernard so as a giant breed, they do not have a longer lifespan. We live in California. A quick search showed me ASPCA pet insurance, which i didn’t know existed… Any advice is appreciated and thanks in advance. Edit: typo on ASPCA 😅

Last night I received a cancellation notice from progressive for “debris and hazards needing removal” and they said I needed a complete roof replacement. My roof is 13 years old but is in really good condition. No branches or leaves on it. No missing shingles. No hail damage or peeling. They didn’t even give me a chance to rectify the situation before sending me a refund check. The inspection report is bogus. The guy took the pics from the ground. I’m shopping around now but scared to get another denial by another inspector. I have high credit and pay everything on time. I have only ever had one claim and it was in 2024 and the adjuster said there was minor wind damage and we just needed to replace a few shingles which we did.

Seeking advice from folks involved in the auto insurance industry... A bit of background. We've been insured with State Farm continuously for over 30 years, getting both home and auto insurance from them. A couple of weeks ago we received a notice that they were dropping us from our auto coverage because there were 4 claims on our record: 1. An accident where my wife was at fault, where she hit a car in a parking lot. Our insurance ended up paying out about $3,000 for that accident (mostly to other driver.. very little damage to our car) 2. An accident where my 17 year old daughter rear-ended another car at low speed. There was minimal damage to the other vehicle (scratches on the bumper) but due to the age of the car my daughter was driving, the amount of damage to her car was high enough that the vehicle was totaled, and the insurance paid about $6k to us for the totaled vehicle. 3. My older daughter was riding her bike (pedaled bike, not a motorcycle) 4 years ago and was hit by a car who illegally ran a stop sign. The other driver was found to be fully at fault, and State Farm paid absolutely nothing for that claim to anyone. In Texas apparently anytime there is an accident with a bike and police are called, it gets reported to your insurance. 4. My older driver was riding her bike again 2 years ago and was again hit by a car who rear ended her as she was legally riding on a city street. Again, the other driver was found to be fully at fault, and State Farm paid absolutely nothing for that claim. State Farm said that those 4 accidents were enough to drop us from coverage. (Technically, it's a non-renew, when our policy ends in about 3 weeks.) While I personally strongly disagree with them considering the 2 bike accidents, their representative told me that they are within their rights to do so, and that they have indeed done so, and that "there is nothing you can do to appeal". That upsets me, but that actually isn't my question! Because we're being dropped, we've searched for alternative insurance. I have obtained quotes from a variety of companies, and found that Progressive is offering coverage that is comparable (actually, a little better) than the State Farm coverage we had, at a fairly significant reduction in cost over what we had been paying State Farm, so we're switching as soon as our current term with State Farm ends in a few weeks. On one of our vehicles that is currently insured (with comprehensive and collision coverage), we sustained hail damage on the car a couple of years ago, resulting in dents to a number of the body panels and a crack in the windshield. None of these things bothered us that much, and we've just let them go. However, we are considering filing a claim for that damage before we leave State Farm and getting them repaired. I'm not sure what the total cost will be, and it's a somewhat older car, so I'm worried that MAYBE the cost of repairs could end up reaching the dollar threshold where they would total the car, but there is nothing whatsoever else wrong with the car. Here's my real question: If we did file this claim with State Farm before we leave them, is there a potential that this could come back to bite us later with Progressive? Would having this claim for hail damage impact our rate with Progressive, either now or later? Also, if they did decide to total the car, it's almost certain we would choose to buy the vehicle back (not relinquish title) and then hopefully fix the damage on our own, as best we could, using whatever State Farm paid out after the buyback. However, would the fact that the car had been totaled impact its future insurability or our rates for insurance coverage? (We've had a history of always getting "full coverage" on our cars, even though they are paid off.) My understanding is that Texas does not require a salvage title on a vehicle if it is totaled due to hail damage, although I'm not positive of that. Any advice from folks "in the know"? Thanks so much!

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

When we adopted our dog (now 6 years old and 44 lbs, a mix of at least 5 different breeds) we took out what I considered to be a “catastrophic plan” to insure her and help us avoid difficult healthcare financial decisions when she grows old, or sooner (though hopefully not). The policy has a $1,000 lifetime deductible per injury/illness and no maximum benefit. When we took out the policy it was $25.03/month. It is now up to $57.15/month. A 128% increase over 6 years feels pretty steep, especially when she’s statistically speaking less than 1/2 of her way through her expected lifespan. Should I be regularly shopping around the same way one does with auto or homeowners insurance, or are the chances that I will find a better value now that she’s 6 low? I remember reading when I took out the policy that with pet insurance it’s better to insure early when the dog’s health risk is very low to “lock in” a low rate and picked Trupanion because at the time they advertised modest premium increases being a feature that differentiated them among their competitors. I don’t feel like 128% over 6 years is modest, and if the increases continue to increase at the accelerated rate they have been doing so, I feel like it may be worth surveying the field to see what else is out there. I like her coverage and feel that it works for our financial situation. (We are fortunate that we can afford regular wellness visits and any unexpected medical items < $1,000). TIA!

I'm so offended by the "hard breaking" beeping, that when I get to 40mph, I've unfortunately started driving through yellow lights and barely miss it turning to red. I've always slowed at yellow lights before Snapshot. I always go the speed limit. Realistically, there's too much traffic in my town to be able to drive safely without hard breaking. Just want to share because if I'd known, I would've opted out of it.

I went to an out of network Health specialist. I had 2 visits for around $200 per visit paid via credit card. They told me to send my invoice/receipt to my insurance company and they would reimburse me. I submitted 2 claims to United Healthcare and they were approved as out of network which went towards that deductible. I just assumed that after that approval, a check from UHC would be sent in the mail to me. It wasn’t. I chatted with UHC customer service today and they said to contact the health specialist business to resubmit the claim as in network. Talked to the specialist business representative and they don’t deal with insurance AT ALL. They are out of network for everyone and leave it to the patient/customer to handle insurance reimbursements if applicable. I’m at a loss for what to do now. I know I have to get it sorted with UHC but idk what to say or do at this point. How do I get reimbursed? Was I not supposed to submit a claim? Should I have gone through a different process and submitted something else? I’ve never had to deal with this kind of situation before and I cannot afford to not be reimbursed. Any tips or help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

26, California, $37,000. My health insurance provider denied me access to estradiol for the purpose of gender transition (MtF). I was prescribed this by my doctor and they called me to inform me that my insurance excludes anything under gender related health care according to a denial letter they got from the company. Blue Cross Blue Shield Kansas City provides the health care in Missouri because of the company being nationwide, although I am based in California. I have yet to receive a copy of the denial letter myself, but plan to get a copy of the one from my doctor's office if I don't receive one in the mail this following week from the company. According to the BCBSKS website they do cover gender transition and when I started this job I asked them if it was covered. My H.R. representative seemed confused about the denial and said she'd look into it as she'd never run into this before. She also that they supposedly cover gender related surgery at a certain percentage so something seems fishy. Is this a recent policy change? What are my options? I'm currently filing a complaint through my recently formed union at the company and will be using GoodRx to be able to afford it, but now I'm worried if I tried to receive anything else transition related and am frustrated it won't go towards a deductible. I don't have the letter of denial yet. Will I be able to appeal with information on the letter? Is this legal since I am a California resident or is it all purely through Missouri laws? Just looking for advice.

I have $2500 in pip coverage and over $30k in medical bills. I’ve only gotten $900 in pip coverage. My lawyer said that is the offer from progressive. Why would I not get the full pip amount? I’ve also lost over $30k in income but my attorney won’t submit income loss.
