    Like I said, “If it smells like bulls*it, looks like bulls*it, it must be bulls*it.” Especially if they run ads every commercial cycle.

    Seems like it’s soon to be generally clear to most that just because you can build a house next to that fire zone, or next to that beautiful river, doesn’t mean you should. Mother Nature seems to be updating her zoning codes.

    To be fair, I’m pretty sure the policy doesn’t cover that…

    I’m pretty sure no insurance company would offer Captain Eddie a policy. And, if they would, he couldn’t afford it.

    You need to check all the history on your house for previous claims for any type of insurance you have… In the news the other day – a woman bought flood insurance, paid the premium of $8,600 – the house flooded – she filed a claim – denied because the previous homeowner filed a flood claim and was paid but did no repairs which they proved as the electrical components in the house that were on the claim were still in the house and confirmed by serial number…

    This is how all insurance companies work: they have all the money in the world and they want to keep it regardless of the years and years and years and years that premiums have been paid for coverage.

    Received annual meeting notice in the mail. It gave the schedule and agenda and any items that would need a vote. Sounds typical, right? R-i-i-i-i-i-g-h-t

    It was not a letter in a stamped envelop. It was printed on one side of a 5″×7″ post card, using closely spaced 8pt sans serif font. Totally unreadable without a magnifying glass and incomprehensible at best.

    Now that’s corporate thinking. Your comments wouldn’t be noted anyway, your questions ignored, and only your payment schedule would be of ‘interest’ to them.

    The point of you buying insurance is to cover disastrous loss.

    The point of insurance companies is to make a profit.

    I always thought the “you only pay for what you need” slogan was a joke at best. I don’t need car insurance until a tree falls on my car, so I don’t have to pay until disaster strikes?

    What Flo says is so true – always read the fine print, or at least the whole contract. It is amazing what people sign away in contracts. And it is amazing the consumer cannot do anything about it. Elizabeth Warren is hated by so many organizations/people because she knows the garbage they are up to and has been trying to stop it for years.

    My sister’s pipes burst in her house in Colorado, the insurance did cover the damage, it was the company that cleans flood damage that made out like a bandit. I have the same insurance carrier she has but hopefully the need never comes – which insurance companies bet on.

    I constantly get contracted for extended car warranties, house warranties and even the cable company, wireless company and gas company want me to take out insurance policies. Considering what they DON’T cover, it’s not worth the investment. Also they brag, "We saved this motorist $1,500 but fail to mention that he paid $3,000 or more in premiums.

    If I took all of these offers, i’d probably be paying $500 a month in premiums.

    Instead I put $100 a month into an insurance policy of my own until I reach a certain dollar amount. Then I stop and put the money elsewhere. EVERYTHING from a leaky faucet to a fan belt that needs replacing is covered. Then I start paying myself premiums again until I “top it off” again.

    I also did the same with my life insurance when they raised the premium from $100 a month to $750 a month. I now have more than enough to take care of the only funeral expense I have remaining: cremation.

    Insurance must be one of the most lucrative businesses there are. Give us money until what you posses gets lost or damaged. Then maybe we’ll give it back. No wonder so many companies offer insurance or extended warranties. Think Gerber.

    Someone put it quite bluntly to me once – “Insurance is regularly paying a company a large amount of money, while hoping that you’ll never need their services.” Insurance companies wish for that to happen, as well.

    Insurance co. promised to cover a claim on receiving invoice from a tree service that removed the fallen tree from the property, but told me they were not obligated to pay the crew to remove dead limbs that were lying on the ground around the tree and hadn’t landed on the house. Honestly, the whole mess was right there and would have been easy for the pro equipment to deal with all together, though a major pain for me to clean up.
