so long story short, i was side swiped the lady who hit me admitted it was her fault. i filed a claim with her insurance and they called me and sent me a link to an app to submit photos of the damage. the damage is scratches and dents on whole passenger side of my truck, along with damages on the wheel. i get a call the next day stating they went over the 'initial estimate' value at $330.87 lol, i took it a body shop to get an estimate for all damages and i got a quote for $9,800.. a little confused how the initial estimate works, i called my adjuster but they do such a poor job explaining it to me as you can sense english is not their first language and when i ask what that means they just repeat and read the statement to me. its the first time i have ever been in this kind of situation, can anyone help me? i have been stressing, but was blown away when they quoted me for $330 to repaint, and do body work and buy a new wheel on $80,000 truck.

Hello everybody! Thank you so much for all the important information in advance. My personal car was at the shop and I needed to rent a car. I did — from Turo. I purchased a minimum coverage from Turo (my deductible was $3000). Was in traffic going around 15-20mph and the car in front of me slammed their brakes. In order for me to prevent the collision, I swirled to change the lane to the right, hitting their back right corner, and wiped my car through the curbside. They had a scratch and one side of rear bumper got unhooked. The car I was driving had the headlight destroyed, front bumper fully came off, and the driver‘s door stuck. The other party filed a claim with my car insurance. My car insurance does not cover rental. I’m so genuinely confused because my insurance is telling me to figure it all out as they have a balance of $4000 that I am required to pay. And I’m wondering if the other party was supposed to file the claim with Turo? Is my car insurance supposed to be invo

Location: Indiana I have just been informed that my son's great grandma (who has never ever had her address used for our Medicare nor been approved to know anything about his or my medical info) has been receiving all of our Medicare information. I have over 5 letters for both him and I in regards to our benefit explanations, they even stopped his benefits and I had no idea!!! I'm upset because he has an upcoming appointment very soon for his 18 month check up and I don't even know if he will be covered by then. I have no idea how they even got her address. She recently moved, and I didn't even know her new address. But somehow, they have all went to her. I'm so confused as to how this has happened?! And I'm really mad that she had (if she chose to open the mail, but she did not open any of it) complete access to our information like that. What can I do about this? I plan on calling Medicare tomorrow but I really think this is a huge issue and I'm pissed honestly.

My dad (57M) died by suicide in September. He had an adjustable life policy with Corebridge (formerly AIG) since 1986, so well beyond the exclusion period. We had trouble getting the death certificate and ending up filing the claim in December. We didn’t have access to his policy documents but we found out my mother (dad’s ex-wife) was the primary beneficiary. With my sister and I (his adult children) being the contingent beneficiaries. Due to revocation upon divorce laws, my mother will more than likely be denied the claim. Their divorce decree does not make note of life insurance, my dad simply just didn’t change it after 14 years of divorce. Corebridge advised she file the claim anyway and wait. Well, the claim was filed in December, all paperwork sent in on December 9th. I figured it would take some time with the holidays and all but it’s been just about 3 months. I’ve called several times with them just claiming it’s still under review. Corebridge said claims normally process within 7-10 business days but they have no update as to what is the hold up. Is this pretty standard? Also, should I wait to see the outcome of my mom’s claim? Or should I just go ahead and file my claim? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Currently have State Farm (been with them for 12+ years), and just learned that the defensive driving and good grades no longer available for teen drivers. Just the defensive driving and steer clear. Is that the new norm for insurance companies? Trying to obtain as many discounts for my teen driver that he could be available for. Didn't know if it was time to shop around!?!? ETA: Next best option to shop around to? State Farm was pretty reasonable when I added him, and has been good to work with. Bummed about the news.

This is my first time dealing with something like this and I’m looking for some guidance. Long story short in May I was involved in a Rear End accident. The owner of the other vehicle was at fault and I am trying to file a diminished value claim through Allstate insurance (the other drivers insurance) as I was planning on selling my car and upgrading this year. After repairs, I took my vehicle (2024 Subaru Crosstrek premium with under 20,000 miles) to the Subaru dealership to get an estimate of diminished value (they estimated $1500). They gave me a printout indicating this. I submitted it to Allstate and Allstate is coming back and saying they’re only giving me $500 because there was “no structural damage damage done” I live in the state of Oregon. (Not sure if that matters) Am I stuck with this $500 or is there a way to negotiate the full $1500? TIA!

Hey Everyone, I had a strange occurrence about signing up for term life insurance. Zander scheduled a person to come out to my home to draw blood from me, despite me telling them that I would like to come out to one of their affiliated locations. When I declined the offer a second time, I left a message for Zander, who did not call me back. Next, I reach out to Zander again and the agent tells me that they would like to make it more convenient for me, as they do not have locations nearby. Turns out, they have a location 10 minutes away, as ExamOne is affiliated with Quest Diagnostics. When I call them, they are strangely indifferent on the phone and are telling me that they will do a full 45 minute physical. When I asked if the results will be shared with my primary physician, they do not give me a straight up answer. When reading up on it, it seems like they do not even publish the results for the patient online. What are your thoughts?

I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and I was delaying my treatment because I found out that its very expensive. After a few months, the cpap company based in Houston, TX reached out again that my deductible has been met and I just owe 171$ and then insurance will take the charges. After I started my sleep apnea treatment, I got the call again from the medical company that they made a mistake on their end and the benefit information was not correct. So now, they are asking me to pay 45$ for supplies and 65$ for cpap rental every month till the payments are complete. I am just a loss of what the hell is this! I get screwed up and left with more charges for a treatment which was quoted wrongly to me. I called Blue Cross Blue Shield OF TX and they said they cannot help me. My current insurance is ending in one month and I am changing insurance from next month. So, it doesn’t make sense why pay deductible towards an insurance which will not be there in 30 days. What are my rights?

Hi, I cancelled my policy with Allstate on July 29th after paying my July 1st bill with my next bill date being August 1st. Cancelled my renters and auto in one swoop through the online chat, though next day I realized they hadn't cancelled my auto. Only my renters, I contacted them again. They backlogged the effective date for the auto to the 29th as the renters was. I already thought they were trying to get an extra payment out of me there, hoping that I wouldn't catch it... The reps on chat assured me that I wouldn't owe my next payment on the 1st since I cancelled my policy previous to the payment date. The next day I checked to ensure the auto cancellation went through and it did show effective so I went ahead and turned off auto-pay. Next day there is a charge on my account for $302. Today I had the time to call so I called Allstate. First rep asked me some questions and then put me on hold for 40 minutes, only for another rep to answer. Second rep told me that my bill has been sent to collections and gave me the number to call. I called collections and they haven't received anything due for me.... I called Allstate again.. Last rep told me that the extra $302 was due to the cancellation of auto-pay on my already cancelled policy.. Also stating that technically my due date without auto-pay would've been on the 18th of each month, which she said if i hasn't have turned off auto-pay they would've owed me money. This is genuinely not making any sense to me and feels like a gigantic scam. None of the reps at Allstate are willing to waive my balance due to an incorrect charge. Do I just wait for the bill to hit collections and then dispute it? What can I do about this? I'm also infuriated that I spent in total two hours on the phone for this.. lots of misinformation all around and no resolution.

I had Bristol west insurance and found a better price for auto insurance. I called Bristol west and told them not to renew my policy and have me removed at the end of my policy. Turns out they completely canceled effective the date I called. I received my refund they owed me and thought everything was good. Til I started getting emails and mail from them saying my renewal fee is due. I’m not paying it because I was told my insurance was canceled. I just hope it doesn’t affect my credit because of a payment I’m not responsible for. Anyone else have this issue??
