Hi all, Like the title says, I'm having a super hard time finding insurance. I've reached out to Next, The Hartman, and Hiscox; I've been referred to Tivily and then transferred from there to Thimble who turned me down, and I have yet to be connected to anyone who can offer coverage. I recently launched a for-profit s-corp, 501(c)(3) fiscally sponsored disability resource center that supports individuals across the lifespan in my community. We're launching an adaptive equipment library, classes and services, 1:1 peer mentoring, and community education. I'm the owner and we're a team of 3 volunteers. All of our service offerings are free but we're in the process of applying for grants and contracting with Medi-Cal, CalAIM, and SARC. We also are opening a physical center to act as a social/community space and adaptive store. Ideally, we will be expanding our program offerings this year. Everything is on hold because I can't find an insurance provider and we can't get contracts without it. Any help and advice is welcome.

I decided to delve into my homeowners policy to understand it in more detail because of a current potential claim. I was amazed that the 30-page document that I had from Allstate didn’t include may details beyond our coverage limits. There were 8 “amendments” listed, but only 2 were included. After chatting with a customer service rep, it appears that the information I need is in the “policy jacket”. Amazingly, I can’t get an electronic copy and have to wait 5-7 business days to get a copy in the mail. So much for paperless.

So long story short was involved in minor car accident that I was not at fault for , this happened on 3/3/2025 and I didn’t get any information from the adjuster after having the car looked at until I decided to call to see what was going on and they somehow missed to file something so I didn’t hear back until 3/27/2025. The adjuster was adamant about me signing and cleaning my car out from the place that repaired it which I did a few days later , which it was considered a total loss and I received the estimate/ Salvage value and all of that again a few days later after having to ask for it. Now since then I cannot get a hold of anyone I’ve sent countless emails and phone calls and just today text messages to the Total Salavage department of Erie Insurance as I didn’t even agree to the repair costs or the amount they want to give back to me , I’m unsure what to do currently I just would like a status of where my vehicle is even at , I wanted to at least have one more shop to check it out and get a second opinion but now it just seems unfeasible at this point having to wait and wait and wait, so yeah first accident never dealt with anything like this so any help would be greatly appreciated!!

How accurate does the quote be when “dealership” works with multiple auto insurance companies to get you the best rates possible. Family member (new driver), called Geico for a quote and was given a high rate. She went to a dealership to see a vehicle that she was interested and left the dealership with the vehicle. Her word was “the saleperson and the person that deals with insurance at the dealership was able to get her a better deal. I tried to tell her dealership just do their quote online and uses that to bait customers into buying the vehicles. Dealer: Geico- $1983 for 6 months full coverage Family member: (over the phone): Geico - $5,400 for 6 months full coverage Thanks for y’all feedbacks.

After years of paying for Trupanion premiums, with hardly any claim at all (only a small amount for thyroid pills) this company blindsided me with an increase in premium, $70 to $118!, a $48 increase/month! They offered a lot of mumbo-jumbo about cost increases in our area. Well we pay for the routine care and it hasn't gone up, maybe minimally but nothing warranting that kind of increase. Now our dog is old so I won't be able to get any other insurance so I'm stuck with them. But we will be moving our younger dog out of that company ASAP. Just warning you all about this company, no loyalty to long time customers.

I unwisely booked a 4 day festival ticket that I don’t think I can attend. I have a pre existing condition and at the time, I didn’t consider how my impaired my mental and physical stamina is. I’m trying to file my claim but I’m worried because pre existing conditions are excluded. I’m seeing a psychiatrist and therapist about OCD however (which factors into why I can’t go all four days). Will Allianz accept this reason and documentation for it?

I noticed my bill in an email was way more than normal and checked my payment history only to find out it’s the second time they billed me for that amount since I missed the first time (I was on vacation). I called and apparently they added some random guy. I finally figured out it was a guy I had in my car when I volunteered at World central kitchen delivering free food to hurricane victims. This guy rode in my car once for half the day. They said they emailed me and sent regular mail telling me about the change. I never got them because the vacation. They will not tell me how he got added to my policy and at one point hung up on me and I did not raise my voice and was polite but firm in asking what happened. I still have no answer. And instead of refunding me the money they just paid my bill for the year with the fund they took. I pay monthly normally. I did not share phone info or have them track my driving with progressive so I cannot understand how they added this dude to my insurance. I remember this guy rode a bike everywhere and since my insurance went up so much I’m guessing he has a bad history. How did they add this guy to my policy? I’m planning to change insurance providers any suggestions? Thanks for any info

Hi all, I keep running into an issue where my auto insurance is OK then it goes up eventually which makes me want to look around. This past year I've been on a mission to reduce my expenses as much as possible. I cut a lot and the auto is a pain because I lock in a price then when I get it all set up it goes up eventually later. I got advertised a commercial about a site that offers "wholesale" insurance prices that apparently is cheaper because no middle man. I didn't recognize the site so to me it seemed weird so I avoided. I looked for a local broker in my city but they only rep a few companies, one I gave my info to like vin and they never sent me a quote or anything but I got an email that showed they were looking for rates on the carrier sites. That company appears to be out of business now, my city doesn't have many options with local people that can compare rates. Is my best bet to call bigger places individually like geico etc and just change companies each year when the premi

Hey all I have to choose between some state medi-cal options for health insurance. The choices are community health, Molina healthcare and Blue shield healthcare. I've already dealt with Molina and I don't like them for my needs. So it's: Community Health vs. Blue shield. Context: My mother and I ( 55 F & 26 F) both suffer from certain health issues and will need specialists treatment, physical therapy and possibly even cardiology treatments (fingers crossed none of it is harmful). Some of these may even be genetic or hereditary, so appropriate testing and treatment are very important. We have either been diagnosed or have a probable diagnosis of some of these below 👇 Examples: •reynard's syndrome (a type of nerve condition) • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Wiggly Joints (causes wear of the joints and hyper mobility) Just to name a few. What I'm looking for is are there any miracle stories? Horror stories? Good experiences or bad? Which choice sounds the best for our needs of anyone can relate to us or has any experience looking for these things. TIA so much. P.S. I am still figuring out reddit so I may not be able to edit the post BUT I will reply in comments! Thank you!

Hello everyone, I have a question. I was recently involved in a not-at-fault accident with an Allstate-insured driver. Unfortunately, my own insurance canceled the night before the accident, so I did not have PIP coverage. Allstate has informed me that I’m responsible for a $7,400 medical bill, despite them reserving $5,500 for future medical expenses related to the accident. If they have funds set aside for medical expenses, why can’t those be applied to the existing bills? I do not feel they are actuinh in good faith. Would it be advisable to seek legal assistance at this point? Thank you for any insights.
