Let me start by stating that we've utilized this insurance agency for almost 7 years! Recently, they changed their billing policies and neglected to inform us in a proper manner. (to be fair, we get a lot of junk mail from Farmers and apparently, they did send out a GENERIC notice of change in billing policies to every farmers customer).
This is what transpired:
Due date for installment payment changed from 60 days to 10 days...WHA???
Result: They cancelled our policies of 7 years, without notice, and sent us a letter AFTERWARDS.
Us: Holy crap, we've been driving without insurance for over 2 weeks? Let's call our agent.
Them: We told you (no responsibility assumed on their part) and now we will be charging you a reinstatement fee AND the rates have gone up since your last bill.
Us: Studied every line of our "New policies" and found several MAJOR errors in information. Called agent again.
Them: The computer just spits this out, we have no knowledge of how or why this errors occurred, neither can we explain the logic behind any costs, its the "computer", not us.
WHY THE HELL DO WE HAVE AN AGENT, if they know nothing about what the computer calculates as info, rates, etc.
Us: 6 weeks later we've gone through a series of 3 NEW and STILL incorrect policies and bills.
Them: I got sidetracked and forgot to follow-up with you (No, sorry).
Needless to say, we'll be looking for a new insurance agency PROMPTLY when this is all resolved. Feel free to Png me Yelpers! read more
