Have an issue with your insurance?
Let everyone know!
Insurance companies are constantly reviewing us. Are we too old? Do we live in the wrong place? Is our credit score high enough? Well, now it's time to turn the tables. Do you charge too much? Will you pay my claim quickly? Is your coverage worse than it seems? We can review you too.
Odie Pet Insurance - Odie Pet Insurance
I hope this info helps and would love any additional details anyone else may have… As I assume there are a multitude of others that are in the exact same (sinking) boat.
Had ManyPets for 2 years. Used it and Loved it. Premium went up 223% this year when they announced the switch to Odie. Shortly after I sent an email disputing that increase, I got an email from both ManyPets and Odie stating that they had found a discrepancy and revised my premium amount to a much lower rate. THEN, days after, Odie went ahead and charged the Amex I had in file with ManyPets without authorization AND it was for an amount greater than they had originally stated. I have emailed them a dozen times over the last 2 to 3 weeks, tried to reach them on chat through the portal, and I've been calling every day. I've only been able to find two numbers that are intended for customer care: (877) 327-0471 & (877) 427-0471 I get nowhere with either one. Continuous on old music on one, dead air on the other. I contacted American Express, as I had my auto-payment with ManyPets set up with them (in hindsight, that was very smart). I created a dispute and they removed the AmEx card for future payments, but have started that I need to get someone on the phone or an answer via email proving they understand I wish to cancel. It sounds as though unless I can do that, I may be out that initial charge that hit on 1/3. The Amex representative did help me track down a third number he found listed on the Internet somewhere: (212) 645-2884. This is a New York number and is eventually sent to Voicemail for someone named Miles Darson. I've now called this number and left a message two days in a row. Still have no reply.
I will say, I looked up the Odie office location on a map and it's very near the area in California where all the raging fires are going on. I can't help but wonder if that has something to do with this, but also can't imagine they wouldn't post information for all their clients or answer the phone and reply to emails. It appears as though they just took everybody's money and ran ...
Happy that I was only charged once and was able to cancel future payments through AMEX, but even just on principle… I want my money back from the initial charge. Extremely infuriating.
Chase - Help! Accidentally Paid Interest Free Card off.
I have an interest-free card that I used for some remodeling on a property. It is interest-free for 18 months, so I charged all materials and labor to it.
The first payment was due yesterday, and I set up autopay from the property's bank account. The autopay only had one option: "amount due." I naively thought that meant the minimum amount due, not the entire credit card bill.
Well, yesterday, the creditor withdrew the entire amount from the bank account. The funds were there, so it was not returned.
I called Chase (the card issuer) last night when I saw the transaction pending, and they said they couldn't help me since it was on autopay. I called my bank this morning, and they said they can't help me either since it is an ACH. They mentioned that I could possibly dispute it, but that process would take almost two months.
Is there really no way to reverse that charge and pay them the minimum amount due instead? I got the card specifically to avoid impacting the cash flow and had a plan to pay it off while it was still interest-free. I genuinely did not know the amount Chase was going to deduct, it did not tell me when I set up Auto-Pay or anything.
Am I just not talking to the right people, or is there really no way to assist me?
*********
Update: Called Chase again and a manager helped me. She said since I didn’t have a minimum payment due, the option wasn’t there to pay minimum and that’s why I only had the “pay amount due” option.
They are refunding me! And I don’t owe anything till August.

renter’s insurance - Stuck in a Deadlock Between My Insurance and Property Management
Hey folks,
I’m dealing with a frustrating situation involving my apartment’s property management and my insurance company, and I could really use some advice.
There was a minor fire accident in my apartment, and the total bill is under $5,000. My renter’s insurance is willing to cover the cost, but they require the property management to sign a release form. The problem is, the property management’s legal team wants to make edits to the form, but my insurance company’s legal team won’t allow any modifications.
So now I’m stuck in this deadlock where:
• My insurance won’t pay without the signed release form.
• The property management won’t sign it unless they can edit it.
• My insurance won’t accept any edits.
I feel like I’m caught in the middle with no way to move forward. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any suggestions on how to break this stalemate? I just want to get this resolved without it dragging on forever.
Would appreciate any insights!
State Farm - State Farm Issues
So I signed up for State Farm Auto/Renters insurance and all was well. I decided to switch agents because I was not happy with the communication speed I had with the old agent, so i submitted an Agent Change request online.
It has been more than a month since the original request and only the Renters Policy moved. The requests show complete, but now I noticed my Auto Policy completely disappeared from my account.
Did they mess this up and cancel my policy? I haven’t gotten any emails or documents online stating this. This has been so frustrating and I just want to not have a lapse in coverage for their mistake.
Has anyone dealt with this or something similar?
Homesite Insurance - Homesite Insurance
I bought my condo five years ago and have Homesite Insurance (according to my recent research, this is not good…).
I just filed a claim with them about what my plumber suspects is a faulty toilet wax ring which has caused water damage in the condo unit below mine. Chances are my bathroom will be out of commission for a bit. My question is this: has any one had at least a neutral experience with Homesite? Any tips on how to make sure they do what they’re supposed to? I’m doing my part by brushing up on my insurance policy. Any advice on how to avoid delays is greatly appreciated! I guess I’m just looking for a little hope, lol. Thank you!
Progressive - Do I need a Lawyer to get payment from an uninsured driver?
Location: Oklahoma
Long story kind of short,
I was in a car accident on Oct.4th, and the other party was at fault. At the scene they acknowledged they were at fault and their insurance looked up to date. At the moment, I felt that calling the police for a report was not worth the hassle, a mistake I know now. While at the scene the driver was on the phone with their mother and told them they were on their phone at the time of the accident, which she later denies. Additionally the drivers mother wanted to speak to me on the phone and was very adamant not to go through insurance and that they wanted to pay out of pocket, which I refused, I didn't think much of this comment in the moment but is important later.
I filed a claim with the insurance they provided and a few days later they told me they were not insured at the time of the accenet. My father reached out to the drivers father as he is the person on the title of the vehicle, and this is when we found out the drivers father is the Chief of Police for a small town bordering my city where the crash occurred which is in the same county. At this point we were given updated insurance from the driver and I made the claim with their insurance, which was denied as they were denying what happened at the crash. Some context to add to this is that this was a new driver and had their license for only about a month and were 16 and were heading to their first day of work at their new job.
I filled with my insurance who sent it to arbitration, and it was radio silence for 4 months and they would not even return my calls, thanks Progressive. I called today and told them I need an update today, and the new rep I got was amazing and told me everything I needed to know and they should have told me months ago.
Arbitration determined the other party was at fault, which was obvious from the damage, and they were not insured at the time of the crash. So it turns out they tried to buy insurance right after the crash and did not tell anyone.
Progressive wants to send them to collections to get some of my deductible back, but I would like to get my full deductible and loss of value (at the minimum). So my question is is small claims court enough for the $2k deductible and $2k loss of value, and do I need a lawyer? I have already waited 6 months, and while if I need a Lawyer I want them to get paid, but I feel like I shouldn't have to pay legal fees for this especially due to the criminal behaviour on their part.
Geico - Am I getting scammed or is this normal?
I posted here a couple days ago about a stolen motorcycle (thank you all for reminding me not to commit fraud) and I called Geico about some questions I had. The told me I could get the collision and comprehensive policy right now, after the theft, and if the person who stole my motorcycle gets into a crash with a stationary object or another car and the motorcyclist is at fault I could be compensated. I got qouted for the coverage and it's $4,717.62! I paid $791.07 originally and the new total will be $5,508.69. I'm assuming since this policy covers the vehicle its more but $4,717.62 is absolutely crazy. I don't think I will be getting the policy at this point because of the depreciation on the bike makes it worth around $8,000 and the insurance would be almost half what the bike is worth. Even at rates of a new rider that seems fairly high. I apologize for the rant,
QUESTION: Is this a normal quote for the policy on a motorcycle or is that something because I am a new rider?
Progressive - Follow up on out of state student car insurance
So, in December my son took one of our cars from Florida to Virginia for university. VA required limits are much higher than in FL and changing the limits, plus garaging the car in VA, raised our Progressive policy to almost 3 times it's cost.
Instead, it was suggested by the insurer we get a different policy for the car in VA. And we did so, through Geico.
Now we have 1 policy in VA for my son and I and 1 car. One policy in FL for my son and I and the other car.
Today, I received a notice from the state of FL that they are going to cancel my registration because the Cadillac (car in VA under Geico policy) doesn't have insurance, according to their records). Sigh.
Will FL accept the VA policy? I can't really register the car in VA since I don't live there and the car is in my name. And both the kid and I have FL licenses because he is a student, so his residence is still FL.
Is the only solution to pay 3 times the amount?
MetLife - Avoid MetLife pet insurance
Got metlife pet insurance to cover dental work needed for my dog. I got the Preventive Care plan add-on so her teeth cleaning would be covered. Right in the policy it lists Spay/Neuter or Teeth Cleaning: $150, per pet. Submitted my claim on 12/17 and finally got processed today 1/17. They rejected the claim on grounds of it being a pre-existing condition. My dog's teeth had plaque on them so they denied the claim. How in the hell do you get teeth cleaning covered then?
