Does anyone hate insurance companies as much as I do?

PS I work for an ins company, and they DO NOT cancel you for having "some claims".  We cancel for non-payment or at your request, that is all we are allowed to CANCEL you for.\n\nWe charge you more or non-renew you for MANY claims, claims we feel were fradulent, or when you have too many violations or "points" on your license.  That is because you must pay more for us to assume more risk that you present when compared to an "average" driver.\n\nClaims handlers, thats not my department.  There is always a bona fide reason if they don't pay.  Most of the time, the problem lays in the fact the policy holders do not familiarize themselves with what coverage they do or do not have.

Change your insurer.  If you have a complaint about the one who voided your insurance, take it to the Insurance Ombudsman.\n\nHowever, if you have tried to raise this matter with the insurers and were rude to a call handler (I nearly lost my rag with one so don't think I'm being accusatory in this) they do reserve the right to withdraw cover.  Remain perfectly calm while you are dealing with the idiot on the other end of the line (who similarly thinks you are one, too) and just remember to a) ask for their name before you enter into any discussion with them; b)if you feel you are beating your head against a brick wall with them, ask to speak to their manager or supervisor - they should be obliged to let you do this; c), threaten to involve the Insurance Ombudsman.

I hope not. It's people like you that send insurance rates soaring! Try some sit ups.

I try and avoid it as much as I can. Not only is it just a rotten company, all of their merchandise is low quality crap.

not a fan, no.  it's a huge complex and anytime i need something fixed or have a question it takes them a week to get back to me.  i liked it much better when i rented a house from a private owner.  he was on top of everything and we could get ahold of him the second we needed help.

don't be afraid to ask questions ... i've been working in customer service for an insurance company for over 5 years and i still ask questions .... they would rather you ask questions to provide the correct answer than to give out incorrect information which may lead to an irate situation ... but don't give up - insurance is not an easy thing to learn ... you can email me at sxyblueyz96@yahoo.com if you'd like and i will be glad to help any way i can.

That varies with the insurer.  Different companies have different policies.  Most of the better ones try to do so within 48 hours.

The Gecko ones are ok, but we have these godforsaken ones here in Florida that make me want to drive into a wall!!!  They go something like, "Geico would like to apologize to the people who come up with logos in FL.  Instead of the Sunshine State, people now call it the Save Money on Car Insurance State"...something really gey and idiotic like that.  Arrrrrghhhh, they are so GD stupid and pointless and so not funny!

I have been involved in many lawsuits involving different insurance companies as counsel on both sides, Plaintiff and Defense. I personally have found that there are other companies that are far worse than The Hartford. In fact, I don't think The Hartford is bad at all. As far as "sticking it to them," that is not a very good reason to file a law suit, and it could end up getting you in trouble.\n\nYou need to find an attorney in your local area, I would suggest looking up http://www.martindale.com/

Well, This is completely not insurance related.  \n\nBut I HATE aol!  It's such a pain in the you know what to cancel!  You HAVE to call, you can't do it online.  Then they try to talk you out of it!  \n\nAnyway, call the credit card company, dispute the charges.  Call AOL, tell them you are cancelling the account.  And in the future, know that ANY TIME someone offers you something on a trial basis for free, but STILL asks for your credit card info, that means THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE YOUR CARD WHEN THE TIME IS UP.  Not just AOL, but magazines, credit insurance, etc.  They all do the same thing . . . so NEVER give your credit card info out for free trials, because it's a TON of work to cancel the subscription when your free trial is up, and frequently they CHARGE "YOU ANYWAY!!!

Oh I hate them too!!!!!!!! it ends up taking longer than it would with a real cashier,  inevitably something goes wrong and a cashier has to come over and help anyway... and  the people in back of you on line  get    angry much faster and the anger is  aimed at you since you are your own cashier lol... they do it to save money  - less employees, less money spent on wages,  and benefits... its a win-win for them...  and a frustrating experience for us !

its about time.  i am sick and tired of subsidizing others insurance, when they are fully able to pay for it themselves.  so they can't party every night of the week anymore.  boo-hoo
