I got an email today regarding an upcoming Progressive insurance payment of $455. I spat my drink and went to look up my policy and to my surpriced, Progressive added a Random dude to my Policy. I have no idea who he is at all. I called Progressive support line and they said they automatically added him because they "Think" he lived in my House. I was pissed and told them i did not consent or even call them to add him. They told me that i agree to their terms and condition bla bla. I got literally no heads up or any phone calls what so ever. They claimed the mailed me about the new change. I rarely check insurance docs as they are either bills i already paid or policy info. To make it worse, this dude has 2 Serious ticketsand an at fault accident. I been a loyal member for over a decade. 0 accidents, 0 tickets. They told me to call them on Monday to fix this "easy" mistake. I was gonna wait till Monday but i couldn't let this mistake fly so i cancelled my policy. I drive my car like once every few months anyways.

A water line burst and flooded my kitchen. I was out of town when it happened (I think) because when I arrived home the floor seeped water when I walked on it. I filed a claim with Liberty Mutual on Monday. It is now Saturday, and I still don’t have an adjuster assigned to my claim. Is that normal? I have a water mitigation service helping. They seem to be trustworthy and helpful. Is there anything else I can do to increase my odds of having this go smoothly? Thanks for any advice you can share.

I’ve been a loyal Healthy Paws customer for 13 and a half years—since the day I brought my puppy Bellah home. Over the years, I’ve paid thousands of dollars into this policy with the trust and belief that when the time came—especially in her final stages of life—Healthy Paws would be there for us. Instead, with no prior notice, Bellah’s monthly premium has been raised from $250 to nearly $800. At nearly 14 years old, with limited time left, my dog is being priced out of her coverage when she needs it most. I’ve called. I’ve waited. I’ve been hung up on. I’ve sat on hold for hours, only to speak to customer service reps who are either powerless or unwilling to help. Not a single person has shown any compassion or even attempted to work with me. I wasn’t expecting a miracle—but I did expect humanity. Bellah is not just a pet—she is family. And now, in what should be her most peaceful time, she is being made into a financial burden. After over a decade of loyalty, this is the treatment we’ve received: silence, indifference, and a quadrupled premium. Healthy Paws, this is not how we honor the animals who have given us their unconditional love. This is not dignity. This is not care. This is not right.

Pets Best insurance premium increased 50% last month. Premium initially doubled when I moved from SC to NC 3 yrs ago then this additional 50%. Current coverage; - accident/illness - Unlimited, 90% reimbursement, $250 deductible. -No well care. Annual premiums are only about $20 less than annual WellCare visit charge. Ran a new quote online from same company. It is 50% of new premium (so less than premium before last month’s increase). Makes no sense. 1 dog - Doxy long-hair - 5 yrs old. Insurance with Pets Best since I got him at 6-8 weeks old. He’s generally healthy but I carry insurance because of typical issues a doxy can develop as they age. The only vet visits he’s had outside of well care: (1) Urgent care visit & call to poison control in 2022 after he got into medication (claim was made and they paid around $50). (2) An out of town visit to vet when he had Gastro issues (throwing up/diarrhea) and wasn’t eating. Cause unknown. Given a round of antibiotics and no more issues. This vet isn’t on his records and I didn’t file a claim since it was under my deductible. My questions: (1) Outside of taking a chance that something happens during the waiting period of a new policy, is there any reason I shouldn’t apply for a new policy to get the lower premium? (2) Will the prior poison visit be considered existing condition if there is another event? He was fine and hadn’t ingested anything harmful. They just watched him for a couple hours. (3) Is the insurance company likely to pick up the out of town gastro visit and consider any future gastro issues an existing condition since I didn’t claim? Thanks in advance for input.

I've posted about my claim before. Insurance company low balled me on the settlement for my stolen car. Offered me 23k total I didn't agree, they didn't want to negotiate and told me to invoke appraisal clause. They rep calls we over a week later and told me good news their appraiser came up with 26k and something. Told me I don't have to get an appraiser anymore. Sounded good to me. Next day I get a call, they made a mistake and weren't supposed to tell me that amount since that's the amount their appraiser came up with for when I actually invoke the appraisal clause. I'm confused so I have two questions: Can they legally backtrack like that after they already told me I didn't have to get an appraiser and the amount they were at? And also, technically if I get an appraiser he or she should be able to get me more than their estimate right?

TL;DR: Be nice and…get yo money?? I made a post a few days ago about how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused my the mishandling and lying committed by the at fault drivers insurance. This was my first car accident, so I’ve never dealt with the claims side of insurance. I explained how it’s my understanding they were in violation of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act and how when I finally got ahold of the other insurances adjuster, he made multiple false statements (which his supervisor confirmed were untrue statements). For many reasons told and untold, this was stressful. I made a post explaining how I was seeking compensation for the stress caused by the mishandling of this claim and asked what the chances were that I’d get compensation. I came here seeking genuine answers and instead I received belittling comments, essentially saying “you will receive nothing you dumb fuck.” Well…I just received an email today from the insurance agreeing to pay exactly the amount I asked for. While I get things take time, not hearing a single word from the other insurance for almost two months when their own policy says they reply within one business day, and making multiple unnecessary false statements is not right. Making belittling comments to someone is also not right. My point is, be nicer. Don’t join a subreddit where people are seeking genuine answers if you can’t give them, or simply don’t comment. AND, if an insurance company got you feeling stressed, take a chance. It might literally pay off.

We were just kicked off our car insurance policy after 22 years of being loyal customers because my daughter filed a claim after an accident where she was not at fault, her 1y/o son was in the car at the time. Their reasoning for terminating our policy is that I didn’t list her then 3 month old son at the time of filling out the attention letter back in December. We’re in Michigan, how is this legal?

My wife was driving and was hit in the rear driver panel and part of the rear tire in a hit and run. The car was drivable so it was not towed. The impact caused the tire to toe out however. For context, I had the specific tire that was hit replaced maybe two months ago. That being said, BOTH rear tires were worn down to bald and wire showing in some areas. Progressive has deemed that only the drivers side tire is eligible for coverage because it caused sidewall damage and that the tires are bald because it is a performance vehicle. They are also saying that a single tire being improperly aligned/toed would not cause any additional wear to the other tires. Do I have any options as far as getting them to cover the passenger tire? Is there a magic phrase or wording I need to use? I understand that a new tire is only around $250 to mount and balance but I feel like this is something the insurance should cover given the circumstances.

We were rear ended by an uninsured driver. Had to file with our provider which is USAA. Today we got the repair estimate and the car is being deemed a total loss. All it needs is a new rear bumper and an exhaust. Repairs after our deductible are $700ish. Looks like the payment to us is $280. We're freaking out a bit. His car is older. It's a 2010 Foed Escape with 150k miles. We knew it wouldn't be worth much but $280? After searching around in our area, they are going for around $3k. Is there anyway for us to keep it and fix it ourselves? My husband is a mechanic and can get all this fixed for less than $700 easily is there anyway to do this without getting a salvaged title? If not, what are our options with insurance coverage moving forward? We cannot afford to buy another car right now.
