Richard Stringham took the time to review my old policies, evaluate them, point out some gaping deficiencies, and give me better coverage at a much lower premium. The Stringham agency provides excellent services that meets and exceeds my expectations. I had 2 major claims, and in both cases, they were handled professionally and timely.

He was able to create a plan that catered to my insurance needs and he ensured that all of the details were perfect.

I reached out to Ryan and he reassured me that all services would be covered. The plan that he set me up on covered everything! I highly recommend working with Ryan; he truly cares about his clients and I could not be happier to be working with such a great agent.

Since I am in sales, I did not have actual proof of insurance as I was under a blanket company policy for almost 15 years. It was a painful process trying to get organized and trying to set myself up to get insurance. In these days of automated menus and the Internet, sometimes it is just nice to interact and speak with a person. This agency is so thorough and easy to work with. I have had a couple self inflicted accidents recently and the stress of dealing with this was enormous. However, Alex and Virginia have always been super consistent in providing support, information, and follow up that exceeded my expectations. If you are considering using Allstate as your insurance company, I highly suggest using this agency as your provider. You won't find a more comprehensive group of support whenever you need it. This is the kind of group you look to count on when you're in trouble and need help. I also had their roadside policy insurance and it was helpful a few times when my car met some of the more famous Chicago craters in the wintertime. Thank you Alex and Virginia! I don't ever worry about anything when it comes to my car or home.

So, yep...I have a bunch of money to repay over the next 100 years of my existence. So National Ed has my consolidated federal loans. The benefit is...they are located in Chicago, have a local phone number, and someone live actually ANSWERS the phone to talk to me. Novel. So whenever I have an issue, I can just ring them up, and get it solved in the same day, usually the same hour. Payments can be made through the website, and actual live people IN CHICAGO talk to you. Not india. People that don't make you spell "Illinois" when you tell them what school you went to, etc. (yes, that happened to me elsewhere) My arch nemesis Sallie (of Sallie Mae private loans) is a real beeyotch, so I have plenty of basis for comparison The good news on student loans is...if you die, your loans are null and void because the education obtained is no longer valid.

I had no idea all the options available to me given the tough financial situation and hardship I've been in. While Citi and Sallie continue to harass me, I now know something about my rights and options since speaking to one of National Education's reps (my education continues). Citi has suddenly become more helpful and willing to defer and forbear my account until I can get back on my feet. Did they think I was kidding when I told them I was out of work???? Also, it is SOOOOO refreshing to call a customer service center and reach a LIVE person without having to listen to a long, drawn out greeting with 9 options and then get carried to another set of 5 options, and yet another all the while searing at the greeting and frantically pressing zero.

My insurance policy with State Farm is from Jan 16, 2023 through July 16, 2023. I switched from…read moreover 10 years of being an Allstate customer to State Farm because I was looking for lower premiums. This was a mistake from the beginning. The first couple months the automatic payments were not going through. I contacted my bank, and they issued me a new card and notified all businesses that were using the automatic payments of the change including State Farm. I thought the payment issues with State Farm were resolved until the day my car received damages from hail. I went online to file a claim and noticed that my policy had lapsed that day because of non-payment. Even though I had signed up for automatic payments, and they had my current card information on file, I later found out that I had to "authorize" payments. What upsets me is that when I tried to call my agent, whom I never can get a hold of, I was told that they had let me know via email. I check my email about once a month. My contact of choice is by phone, which I told my agent when I first signed up. I never received a text and not ONE courtesy call about the lapse. What kind of agent allows that to happen? I have insurance for a reason. To be insured! I am disappointed with my agent, with State Farm in general and the fact they let that one-day lapse affect my coverage. I paid on April 4th, but coverage was not reinstated until the next day. If I were to walk into the agent's office, my policy would have been reinstated at once upon payment. Why would my online payment not be effective? I regret ever leaving my previous insurance company for what became the worst service I have ever experienced from State Farm.
