I’m going to be having a baby soon and wanted to know if I will get paid my short term disability leave if I am no longer working? I signed up for Aflac always which says it locks in the rate but I don’t want to continue paying for it if they are going to deny me.

I had an Avant loan that was sent to collections a few years back. I've since paid it off in full but my Avant account still shows an "Active Charge Off" status of that loan, which prevents me from applying for a new loan. I'd like to know how I can have these old loan details wiped from my account for possible future loans? I tried calling support but couldn't get through to anyone.

Just received notice of my policy increase for my healthy paws plan for a 4 yo dog. The new premiums are already beyond what I’m able to afford, but now they are going to raise the plan $10 more per month due to an address change. They did this last time we moved and said the new state was more expensive than where we lived previously, now we moved back to our old neighborhood and somehow it is more expensive than the previous state they said was more expensive than this. I’m frustrated because it seems like we are being penalized for moving, and now the plan is double when we started. Basically, it’s already stretching my finances, and I’m concerned about sustainability at this rate and how much they raise the policy every year. We barely hit deductible as is and only hit it once or twice in the life of the policy, never gotten much back in claims, thankfully (glad to not have had crazy issues yet, knock on wood) At 4, dogs can start to have other issues, and I’m concerned that other plans might have preexisting condition policies and not cover if other issues develop and we don’t switch in time. Any advice or other option recommendations? I like healthy paws because they are easy, generally pay the policy claims very fast, and I trust that their coverage will last. But given the costs, I’m not sure where too go from here.

Hi, i currently have All State for the one side of a duplex that i own. But they only cover up to the stud work. No structural. I've asked them numerous times how do i insure the structure but i get no real answer. How do i get structural insurance, foundation, frame, roof & then the rest MEP etc as the owner of one side of a duplex?

My husband and I are currently in the process of selling our home. The new owners are using a USDA loan. The first 4 weeks of the closing process were a breeze. Our home passed appraisal and we were told the buyers got their loan approval. The issues started last Thursday. We were supposed to close this past Friday, however I received a phone call from our realtor explaining that the buyers had not been notified that the needed to submit a copy of their W2. They had to go out on a Thursday night to H&R Block to get this final copy. Everything was submitted to USDA on Friday and we were told by the Title office that we were going to close today. It is now Tuesday and after a stressful weekend, we thought we were going to close today. I received an email from our realtor stating that the USDA system is down and we are having to extend closing once again , but this time they are not setting a date because it is unknown when that system will be back up and running. The title office claims that as soon as we get the approval, we will close but I am starting to get VERY frustrated that we are being lied to. Has anything like this happened to anyone??

My son has two insurance policies, one with me and one with his Dad. Both plans are with BCBS. Dr office called to tell me they can't run the claim because BCBS website is showing that he is inactive on Dads plan. Dad says plan should be fine. So no idea why the Dr office is seeing that. I asked if they could just run it under mine and they sad it won't work because Dads plan is inactive and the my plan won't pay until it's resolved. This doesn't make sense to me. Why would it not process with my plan just because Dad's plan is inactive? Wouldn't this be the same as my son only having one insurance plan now and run it without the secondary attached? Can someone break this down for me?

HI, guys! I never posted on Reddit, need your advice badly...A few years ago I signed up with Merrill Edge IRA, because I was with Bank of America. They were very pursvasive how great it is to have 401K with them. I rolled over some 401K money from my previous jobs, opned account. In the beginning I was contributing certain amount per month automatically, then started to get calls about needing to login, verufy my info ect. I called them last year and verified, my info is correct (home address and work address). I was filing taxes this year and tax person asked me if I contributed to my personal IRA, because it would help with my return. I decided to verify with Merrill Edge, loged in to my account and the nightmare started. I found out YESTERDAY they CLOSED my account back in January this year (no notification received), and issued a check with all my savings also hit me with early withdraw fine. They send check to my WORK instead of home address (???). Mind you my work is a large hospital, and address was provided as a generic, not addressed to accounting, HR, or specific person. When I called Merrill Edge, they first said they will cancel the payment on this check and will issue another. Next phone called I was told by Merrill my check was "cashed" at PNC bank (I have no account there), on certain date in March this year. By WHO???? My guess would be someone opened a letter from them at my work, saw the check and somehow chased/deposited it. But how this person could do this without ID? I dont even know what particular branch of PNC it was cashed, and PNC doesnt want to talk to me. I am shocked...It was substantial amount of money, I dont even know what to begin with. Lawer? Police? Pls help with advise!!

I am in the habit of constantly asking clarifying questions and I ask the same ones over and over again to different people (I call frequently) and I get different answers all the time. I never truly know what's covered or how much it's going to cost. It's so much BS. The medical facilities give me more accurate information than Priority Health does. 3 Priority Health people have told me my son receives unlimited therapy visits because of his diagnosis, but I know that's not true, and I've had only 2 people tell me the correct number of visits he gets for his diagnosis. The pediatric office even knew the correct answer. How is this legal for them to be so wrong all the time? Ughhhhh

I was in an accident recently and i signaled and looked behind me and merged rightward into a middle/center lane. As I did so someone came flying up from behind me and I believe they very likely merged leftward into the same center lane, and I struck their aft portion of their car. Like their quarter panel and rear door (it was a four door car). I hit with the front of my car. like my right-side turn signal and bumper cover hit their left-side rear door and quarter panel. Not much damage to either vehicle but certainly much more to the other motorist's car. They will probably need a new doorskin and new quarter panel or at least serious bodywork to repair the damaged panels. Anyway, my insurance coverage does not include collision or comprehensive. Which is fine. I prefer it that way. I thought it should've been mixed fault or not my fault at all but in one week my insurance USAA has found me liable. There were no other witnesses, no passengers in either vehicle, and no camera footage. I forgot to take photos of either vehicle and so did the other motorist as far as I know. We only took photos of each others' insurance cards. They said due to the location of the damage on both vehicles (i never sent them a photo of either vehicle so other than my words and the cop's words they don't know where the damage is on my vehicle) and due to the police report, they are making this decision. I called the police department to get the report and not only do they want 10$, but they said the only way my insurance company could have the report is if they solicited to lexisnexis via snail mail. If that is true, then I suspect there is little that in ~6 business days they got the report. I was unsure what happened and the old lady who hit me/I hit was very adamant it was not her fault, which I guess is what I should mimic in the future, even though anyone with half a brain knows that in many accidents, eyewitness testimony is unreliable. I did not admit fault at the scene or to anyone I have a career where my driving record is important and I really don't want my insurance to go up. The adjustor is being noncommunicative. Please help

Hey My dog and I are moving to NYC this fall. She's a 3 year old spayed beagle. I did some research and lemonade was suppose to be the cheapest option but they are quoting me 107 dollars per month for a 80% deductible! What is happening? Any other options for pet insurance? I was hoping to be under 25 dollars per month for my pet so that I can put another 15 towards renters insurance. I am a student for the next year and a half so I wanted to be careful with money just for the next year and a half. Any help will be appreciated ! Edit 1: you guys have been so helpful with such amazing suggestions! Moving internationally all these suggestions will help me make the safest decision for my girl! So thank you so very much !!
