Hi, I would really appreciate it if you could provide some guidance. I am in the process of buying a 5 acre property with a 1980 1100sqft permanently attached mobile home. It is so obvious that the value is in the land. I never thought when making the offer that the manufactured home would become such a problem. My plan was to buy 5 acre land build a regular house on it in 1-2 years. Because of the manufactured home I am being hit with high interest rate and higher down payment. I was OK with that. But now the lender requires me to have Full Replacement Cost for the manufactured home. The lender would not accept the only and highest dwelling coverage I could find from Citizens. Citizens provided an RCE report stating brand new full reconstruction would cost $147k, but they would subtract depreciation and allow 25% higher in vaullue. So, that would be $62k + 25% = $78k and the premium is like $2300. Citizens won't go higher on the premium. The lender wants $147k coverage. I am unable to find any other insurers that would even insure the mobile home. I ordered 4-point inspection and the home passed it without any issues. Full roof replacement was just done 1 week ago as well. To me the mobile home is worth $30-40k at most, so the insurance company is right. Why would they insure it for higher anyways. I am purchasing the property as is for $330k. Putting down 25%. So, only borrowing $249k. The land itself is worth $300k+. I do not understand why the lender would not accept my $78k insurance as I cannot insure the land either. I told the lender/broker to be my guess and find an insurance company that would do what they are asking for. Even if they could, I could not even imagine what the premium would be on that case? 5k ? Who would pay to insurance for 40k Mobile home? What should I do?

I am trying to move my HSA out of Fidelity for a previous job, since they will start charging fees. When I tried to open a Lively HSA, I got this message. Has anyone else run into this before? Any theories why I might be getting this? \--- Thank you for reaching back out to us. After careful consideration by our accounts team, we have determined that we will be unable to open an account for you and have no further information we can provide. There is no further need to contact us about this as our decision is final. We consider this issue closed and will not be responding further. Thank you for considering Lively, we truly wish you the best at finding another HSA provider. EDIT: I just contacted Fidelity, there are actually no fees! I'll be keeping it as it is.

I have 2 dogs, 7 and 6 years old. They both have had some issues with lower back pain and suspected arthritis but not diagnosed. I got an email notifying me of my embrace insurance premium going to almost double! Can I switch insurance despite them being this old and having received physical therapy? Or are they pre-existing conditions that will prevent a new insurer from writing a new policy?

Insurance company sent an inspector. Contractor said roof is in amazing condition but there's always a but, since the roof is over wooden shakers it has to be replaced!!!! My agent is a total pain, she just says get it done, sure no problem because I have dam neat $16,000 to do this.🥺

My wife wrecked her 2023 Honda Accord last month when she hit a deer in the road, Progressive came back and said they are not going to cover the car as 1 rear tire was below safe level of tread (not even sure how that possible in 21,000 miles) is she just stuck paying on this totaled car, and the weekly storage fees at the tow lot for eternity?

Taken place in TX with State Farm. Got rear ended. Driver claimed liability. Car is a total loss. Body shop is asking for $2100 and insurance is only willing to cover $1400 and the rest out of pocket. I don’t want to pay out of pocket or through my car settlement, how can I get them to cover the whole amount? I had a rental car for a few days up until I was notified my car was a total loss and insurance doesn’t cover for it after that so I returned it. Am I also able to get reimbursed for transportation i.e rental car or uber?

I'm in a pickle with a doctor's office billing after insurance says they paid. What are my next steps? Appointment in Sept 2023 with a verified in-network provider. Doctor office submitted an insurance claim under a different OON provider who I never met/saw/knew about when I went to my appointment. Insurance didn't pay but applied it to my OON deductible. Then a couple weeks later Doctor office submitted a new claim (NOT A REVISED ONE) for the same date but listed an in-network provider. Insurance covered it 100% less copay. Even though it was under a different provider, I know he works closely with the PA I saw so figured it was accurate enough for insurance purposes. I thought this was settled. From my view of EOBs it looks like insurance paid my bill and I paid my copay. Fast forward to now, I get a bill from my doctor office saying you owe us for the original appt. I had no idea there was a balance and I've been to this practice about 30 times since the original appointment in Sept 2023. I told them I have EOBs showing that they were actually paid by insurance, I forward them to them to verify. They are sticking to their guns saying I owe. I called insurance. They said it is too long ago for them to re-work the claims but from their point of view, they believe I should not owe anything beyond the initial copay. Doctor's office billing will not go over details on the phone. They want all communication to go through email, of which I've sent 2 (one with the 2 EOBs and one asking them to please look again at the second EOB which shows they were paid for the appointment), both emails they responded "please pay your bill". Where do I go from here? Insurance doesn't seem interested in stepping in to help since it's an almost 2 yr old charge. And doctor office is being very difficult to deal with. ETA: if it matters the doctor's office was recently or in the process of being bought out by a private equity company from a different state when I went in 2023. The OON provider they initially billed insurance with is the owner or CEO or something with the private equity.

The claim was for dental surgery (periodontal disease). The reason it was denied is that the cat had no previous medical records showing his dental condition. They also said that no single exam is going to be enough to establish he didn't have previous dental problems, they need to see a record of his health over time. I do realise that dental is a separate category as far as most insurence companies are concerned, but I also wonder if they won't use the same reasoning in future claims. How can I prove something wasn't a preexisting condition if I don't have records? Some background: My cat who is now 8 year old, grew up as a partly feral street cat in a non western country. Yearly vet visits for cats are not common practice there, and with him being the kind of cat that requires sedatives in order to get in a carrier, he ended up visiting a clinic even less than the average cat. In short he has barely any medical records from before arriving in Canada last year. I was actually a little surprised to see that I could even get insurance for a cat his age, but now I'm starting to suspect that they're just fine with taking my money but will never approve a claim. TLDR: Should I cancel an 8 year old cats insurence if he doesn't have any previous medical records?

Location: Washington state, US I have a structured settlement with Navient from 2020 that keeps my payments at a specific rate for the duration of the loan. With the transfer to MOHELA processing payments, they have not been charging me the correct amount. I have notified the contact that I’m required to coordinate with several times. She has responded each time but it has not been fixed. I have only been submitting the agreed upon amount which means I am under paying and also cannot set up auto pay. I’m concerned this could impact my credit, but also if I miss a payment the settlement goes away so I really want to be able to autopay. What can I do here? Are there any legal repercussions from their side of the agreement if they keep over charging me? Or is this just my burden to deal with?

Just got my renewal notice, and my car insurance jumped to $280/month out of nowhere. No accidents, no tickets just the usual "rate adjustments." I drive a 2017 Toyota Corolla, full coverage, and I’m with State Farm right now. I mostly use my car for commuting (about 30 minutes each way), and I’m in my early 30s. For those of you with clean records, what are you paying, and who are you insured with? Thinking it might be time to shop around. Appreciate any recommendations! 🚗💨
