I am a trusting person. I will state this upfront. We switched home insurance carriers last year. I was told by someone that they discontinued our vinyl siding and to purchase or look for a matching endorsement for it when I switched. I talked with the insurance salesman who I asked if they have a matching endorsement for vinyl siding. He said “it is not needed” i then asked clearly “if one side of our house is damaged and the siding has been discontinued you will replace all of the siding correct?” His response was “yes we will make it right, we will make you whole” Low and behold. Massive hail damage to one side of our house. Our siding is discontinued. Insurance says we will just try and match it to the best we can. Is there any recourse here?

I recently sold some commercial property and I'm looking for an umbrella policy or a large liability policy. My problem is I live in a home that belongs to my 88 year old mom with severe dementia. The home is in a life estate deed to me, I've cared for my mom a long time, I have no claim to the home until she passes away. We suffered significant hurricane damage, now seven months post hurricane repairs are just starting. I had to move my mom out of state with a sibling and mom is so frail she will never be able to return to her home. I am currently on the homeowners policy with my mom but expect there's going to be a problem with the current insurance company at renewal. My mom is out of state and I have no real rights to the home yet. My brother and I have POA but can't sign the deed over to me because mom has only social security and is going to need Medicaid soon. Medicaid does a five year look back. The home she owns is a mobile home, nice but not of great value. It's been in the enhanced life estate deed to me for many years. I do have a vacation home out of state, not a primary residence. I have Progressive car insurance. I called the company associated with them and they question the liability on my mom's home. I don't know if I will even have insurance on that home soon. I would need to raise my car insurance above 100,000/300,000 and the umbrella policy would be $900 a year. This policy seemed to depend on raising the liability insurance on my mom's home, possibility with a renters insurance policy, but that was questionable. I send money to my brother to help pay her care but it's not rent, she would then owe income tax on that and could be considered in kind help with medicaid. There must be others who don't own a home in the state they reside who have significant assets. I've never been in this position before. Can someone in the insurance industry advise how I can purchase a large liability policy?

Greetings everyone. I do but know where to go for help in this. I tried the court but that was useless. There is only one lawyer near us that takes our MetLife legal card. So my dad died augusts 2022. The estate is worth close to a million and there was no will. I tried to qualify as the administrator, but since I had to be bonded, my credit held me back, so my brother was able to qualify. Since then, he has done nothing. Two plots of land were sold for 300,000. It was sold for less than it was worth, but it was too family, and that was important to my dad. No personal items have been sold. There homes are in the country and the homes are full of mice that I’m sure have eaten everything! The cars have been sitting, uncovered the four wheelers the Farm equipment, all of it sitting and rusting. There is a double wide that’s about 15 years old and sits on a gorgeous lot and a three bedroom brick ranch that is still waiting to be sold and all of the personal effects but I cannot get my brother to do anything. He will not return a phone call or a text message. When we try to contact the court, they were of no help we don’t know what to do who returned to or what our rights are and trying to read online. It’s like it’s written in another language. I know this is a long Post, and if anybody has time to give us an idea of how to move forward from here what we can do it would be so appreciated. We are in Virginia if that makes a difference at all thank you in advance so so much.

I am new to Liberty Mutual. Homeowner Insurance in USA It keeps showing Virtual Assistant, which never route me to a live agent, no matter what I said. Or how to send a message to customer service?

Tried adding pics but the rules won't allow me 🥲 Howdy Everyone, I'm posting on here hoping to get some help. Background: My wife and I bought this home about 3 years ago with signs of potential termite treatment( burrowed holes 1ft apart the whole house). We live in a plant hardiness zone 10a? I googled it. We didn't see it as an issue since there was no sign of existent pests or insects. The house was left abandoned for several years though with overgrown grass. The neighbors would take turns cutting the grass since it's a community and thus house was not being kept up. Anyways, we buy it and within a year, we see small ants crawling around the house. We didn't see it as a problem since there weren't that many and it's honestly quote normal to just see a couple of an wondering around. A year later, around spring season, in a couple walls from a room, we see a discharge of trash come out of the bottom from between the walls. It had dirt, dead ants and wings seems to be carpenter ants. Immediately we call a couple of exterminators and they both concluded it was carpenter ants. Ok fine, we went with orkin services which sold us a contract to treat inside and outside. A year goes by and we are still sewing these ants crawling up the house from outside and the discharge every now and then. After constant contacts with Orkin and them coming to treat them we didn't see any progress with them. We decided to not renew our contract. We called and they insisted on sending out a tech to check out the issue. The guy gave me a rundown that it is definelty a carpenter ant and that they need to treat specifically for that..which I though that's what they had been doing. Apparently he said that we had just been getting the common pest control plan. WHAT?!?! The issue is not common pest but a pest specifically!! I got mad, they tried to sell me more services and then a perimeter cleanse and what not. He kept insisiting on selling me the 10k services. Kicked him out the house respectfully and blocked their number. Present: Which leads me to now. I'm now trying to treat the ants myself and bought these terro ant bait stakes, terro liquid ant baits for indoor, and the Terro ant killer shaker bag I've had these for about 3 weeks now and the ant seem to be eating it but there are still so many ants coming into the home. I see them going into the stakes and piling it up with dirt as if they were closing these baits off. Smart Mfkrs lol Anvone have anv more ideas on what I could do? I also tried plugging up the holes but they just creat new ones lol

Location: Ohio I’m an Avis presidents club member and been an Avis preferred member since 2018. I travel a lot for work and haven’t hardly any challenges with them. I typically rent 25-30 cars a year from them. Last time I rented was in January with no issues. Two weeks ago I booked a car reservation only to have it get cancelled. I tried several more times only to have the same thing happen. I called the customer service line was told a bunch of reasons why each time until I was able to speak to a tier 2 specialist who had to work some magic to get it scheduled. I picked up the car with no issues and was on my way. Last week I booked several reservations as I’m traveling for work this week. Same thing happens. All of them get cancelled. I’ve spent HOURS on the phone trying to understand why. No one was able to help me. When the rep tried to book the reservation over the phone they aren’t able to. I finally spoke with a specialist who escalated and called me today to give me a broad statement that my name was flagged for legal matter so this is why the system wasn’t allowing me to book. She said she didn’t she didn’t have any more specifics. I’m completely surprised by this as I’ve never had any legal issues isn’t my life and I’m not banned from flying or renting from other agencies. My question is has anyone ever dealt with anything like this? Do you have any recommendations on how I can get this cleared out? I’m reaching out to find out who at my company has a contact at Avis but now am very worried that I’ll be stuck without a car on the road this week. Thanks for your help.

Hi all, So this is a grey area and I really do not know how to go about this so I would appreciate any input here. I'd rented a car for the weekend to drive around town and visit nearby places. Had some time left before returning so I had a colleague over, and we decided to go out but he wanted to take the wheel. So, we drove to a nearby restaurant and while parking into the restaurant he backed too heavily and banged into the wall. There is a sizeable damage to the car's rear with scratches all around, damage to the rear lights and the bumper too. I know I am screwed as it is the worst car rental company (Sixt), but also, I was not driving. I know my card, Amex has an insurance that covers this sort of stuff, but of course it requires me to be the authorized driver to be able to claim this. I do not know what to do here, because I do care about the colleague and don't want him to get screwed because of the charges too because I know it is gonna be hefty one (probably a couple thousand bucks to say the least), so any advice would be appreciated here. Do I trust the claim verification process to not involve checking through on the cameras, or, just be honest, I don't know. Help!

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.

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?
