Alright here's whats going on Been licensed since 2021 Got into first accident (at fault) in november of 2022 Got into accident last month (feburary 2025) Before the 2025 accident I was with Wawanesa and was paying I believe $350 a month for insurance but they just dropped me. Things are generally close by so I was planning on just lasting out on a Non-owner's policy until insurance becomes affordable (I'm guessing nov/dec since the 2022 accident will be 3 years old then) but I'm curious if anyone has any other suggestions. I looked in to pay-per-mile insurance but it doesn't seem like there is anyone offering it here in California. Any help is appreciated.

Recently, my cat had to be rushed to the ER due to urinary blockage (FLUTD) , I submitted his bills, which rounded up to 7k, but the insurance denied it as pre-existing. * Pet had not prior diagnosis or sign of illness in the past with a clean record * Vet stated that he had issues peeing in an instance of stress due to construction and not due to FLUTD, and recommended Feliway Diffusers * Vet also wrote a letter for me specifying that the symptoms were not related to pre-existing FLUTD Now at the time that he started to show symptoms of blockage and straining the policy was already active and the waiting period was over. Am I crazy for thinking that them using past symptoms that were specified to not be related to deny my claim is actually wrong, and this emergency should fall under coverage?

I have messaged optumrx several times to stop automatically filling medications for me. I would like to do it manually because many times my doctors send orders for as needed medications that I use maybe once or twice a month and have years worth of usage from constantly having it sent. Despite attempts, they never fix the problem. What can I do? Age 28, state FL, gross income 80k

Hi all, I'm running into a pretty frustrating issue. I have called like 50 clinics in the Austin area and even though they appear on the list of clinics that take my insurance, they don't. Is the only option to pay out of pocket? My son is 3 and has a delay that was diagnosed at 2. We had speech therapy for a while and he is doing a lot better, but I am having issues getting it covered. I have an Aetna plan that is self-funded through my employer. If I could find a clinic, they would cover the sessions at 100%. My son is 3 and I have called the school district, but they said it would be next school year before they could assess and set him up, if his delay is even serious enough. He does not have autism, he has no other markers for it besides the speech delay.

Hi everyone, (long-time lurker here using a quick-made account for this post). I’m in a difficult financial and legal situation and could really use some guidance. On November 15, 2024, I was involved in a DUI accident while working as a delivery driver (not alcohol-related). I fully acknowledge that driving under the influence was a serious mistake. The reason I ended up in that situation was that I took drugs to cope after a traumatic work incident, where someone flashed a knife behind my back the previous week. On the night of the accident, I was working with the same person again, and I made the wrong choice in handling my stress. I deeply regret my actions. Since then, I have complied with all legal and rehabilitation requirements—attending therapy, DUI courses, and adjusting my medications—and I’ve made a complete turnaround in my life. During my delivery shift, I hit another car (a 2024 Toyota Highlander), but thankfully, no one was injured. My insurance initially handled the claim, but now Wilber Group has purchased the debt from the insurance company and is demanding $25,000 from me. My Financial Situation: • I am a student and will not have a steady income for the foreseeable future. • I am on disability due to hearing impairment and mental health conditions. • I currently make $17/hour, working 24 hours per week. My Questions: 1. Can I negotiate this debt down to 10-30% of the amount owed? Since debt collectors often buy debts for less than their full value, is it realistic to settle for significantly less? 2. Can they take any of my assets or garnish my wages? Location: Minnesota, and I’ve heard there are exemption laws, but I’m unsure how they apply to my situation. 3. What is my best strategy for dealing with this debt? Would negotiating a lump sum settlement be my best option, or should I try for a payment plan? 4. Could bankruptcy help me discharge this debt? Would a DUI-related accident debt like this be wiped out under Chapter 7 bankruptcy since I have no significant assets and low income? 5. Could recent tariff increases on cars affect the amount I owe? Since the Toyota Highlander I hit was a 2024 model, and the incident happened before April 2, 2025, could the recent tariff increases on imported vehicles have inflated the amount Wilber Group is demanding? If so, how can I challenge that?

My employer is putting our retirement funds (and a very nice match) into a TIAA Group Retirement Annuity account. I really don't want my money in an annuity, but there are no other options through their retirement plan, and the match is too good to pass up. Barring a major incident, I will likely work for them until I retire, and I don't anticipate taking the annuity upon retirement because it won't be enough to live on. Moving money out of a GRA takes 10 years, and I don't think I can start that process until I leave the company, leaving me in a potentially bad spot for up to 10 years after I retire. Does anyone know if I have an option I'm not seeing? I am putting money into an IRA as well, but not nearly as much, and I anticipate the bulk of my retirement savings will be tied up in this idiotic GRA.

Location: Arizona Was in an accident and Farmers client was at fault. I had borrowed a car but had to return it. My insurance company offered a total loss on my car that was being repaired which I accepted but I had to rent a car while I looked for a new one (which took a week ) Farmers is refusing to pay for that rental because they said they are not legally obligated to pay for anything after the offer was made to pay for my old car. Is this correct ?

He's fine, but the vehicle is totaled. His fault. He's pushing 81, and his memory is starting to go, so neither of us realized his insurance wasn't up to date. It expired at the end of June, and he usually does the 6 month payment thing. We dont know if it got lost in the mail or what, but he's currently uninsured. He's with Allstate and has been with them for decades, but they simply referred him to another insurance company when they called him back to explain his account was no longer active. Despite him funneling thousands and thousands to them through the decades hes been with them, one missed payment seems to be the end all be all. I'm going to call them personally tomorrow to try and figure this out, but I was wondering if you guys had any advice for me?

So, I’m planning on buying a Dalmatian puppy within the next few months and wanted to figure out which insurance I plan to go with before taking the puppy home. I’ve heard pretty good things about Lemonade, and they had a reasonable starting rate, but that went so high when I imput my information. It ended up being about $100/mo without add-ones such as dental or routine vet. Maybe I just don’t get insurance as I’m buying from a very good breeder who has heath testing/CHIC numbers, temperament tested parents, etc? I guess I’m just confused how a 3/mo old puppy of a breed that’s very healthy compared to a lot of breeds people have, can cost so much more than the base rate. This is my first time perusing insurance for a pet so forgive me if I’m missing something obvious here.

Okay so I have a new vehicle, and I decided to use Root Insurance. Usually the insurance websites automatically add comprehensive and collision when you state it's financed. So I thought it had. Anyway, it was liability only. Now last week there was a hailstorm and it did some damage to the car. Not hardcore but it js noticeable up close. What can I do? All I can do is fix it right with my own money? Will the bank go after me? I'm just so lost right now any advice would be appreciated.
