June 16th, [redacted] Revdex.com Serving Central Virginia, IncMoorefield Park Drive, Suite Richmond, VA Revdex.com Case Number: Dear Ms***: Thank you for notifying Elephant Auto Insurance (Elephant) regarding the concerns of MsNobleOn November 25th, Ms [redacted] purchased a policy from Elephant’s websiteAt the time of sale she indicated that she lived and garaged her vehicle in TexasWhen she later added her other vehicles, our agents asked where the vehicles were primarily garaged and she advised the sameAt no time when she called in to manage her policy did she let Elephant know that any of the vehicles were registered and sometimes garaged in LouisianaIf we had known that, our licensed agent would have advised to have the vehicles either registered in Texas if they were primarily garaged there and if not, then we would have told her she needed a separate Louisiana policy for those vehiclesWe depend on our applicants and policyholders to provide accurate information during the policy life so we can ensure the coverage and policy is correctUnfortunately, we cannot dictate what the state of Louisiana requires and since Ms [redacted] represented herself as a Texas resident and her vehicles being garaged in Texas, Elephant assumed that the registration of her vehicles were also in Texas as required by the stateElephant is not able to tell by any of the vehicle characteristics where it is registeredSince we provided coverage for her vehicles as they were presented we will not be back dating the removal of any of the vehicles; if Ms [redacted] has not done so we urge her to obtain a Louisiana policy for the vehicles registered in LouisianaWe strive to provide every policyholder with a positive customer service experienceIf we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to call us at [redacted] Sincerely, [redacted] Product Compliance Specialist Elephant Insurance Services

Elephant Insurance Company (Elephant) received your letter dated March 8th, requesting explanation regarding the complaint filed by Mrs [redacted] in reference to her 12/8/claimElephant was first notified of the 12/8/loss on 12/11/by the claimants’ insurance carrierThe recorded statements collected by both parties to the accident advise that the aforementioned accident occurred on 12/8/while leaving [redacted] *** in [redacted] , [redacted] at the [redacted] Avenue intersection, after the traffic light turned greenOur insured driver stated that the light had turned green as he was approaching the vehicle being driven by Mrs***’ husband, and our insured advised that he applied his brakes when he saw that the ***’ vehicle was still stopped at the lightAlthough our insured reports applying his brakes from 60-[redacted] feet away from the ***’ stopped vehicle, our insured vehicle continued to slide and made impact with the rear-end of the claimant vehicleBased on the facts of loss provided, Elephant determined our insured driver to be at-fault for the 12/8/collisionAlthough no injuries were reported by Mrs***’ husband, the driver of the claimant vehicle, Mrs [redacted] was a passenger in the claimant vehicle at the time of loss; she advised in her 12/12/recorded statement that she went to the Emergency Room immediately following the loss, and was diagnosed with whiplash/strain as a result of the accidentWhen asked about her intended plan of action for treatment and lost wages for time missed from work, Mrs [redacted] advised that she was given prescriptions at the hospital and had not missed any time from work yet, but planned to take a day off to meet with her primary care physician the next day for a follappointmentBased upon the low-impact nature of the accident, the adjuster provided an initial offer to Mrs [redacted] on 12/12/to provide for injuries sustained as a result of the accident under bodily injury liability for the anticipated medical bills, as well as an additional amount for Mrs***’ pain and sufferingOur contact with Mrs [redacted] between 12/13/and 12/20/revolved around the property damage to her vehicle and her lost wages, but Mrs [redacted] did not address our initial settlement offer at that timeAfter receiving no response from Mrs [redacted] regarding our initial offer, the adjuster followed up with Mrs [redacted] again on 1/3/to discuss her treatment progress, and presented the above offer againMrs [redacted] refused the initial offer, advising that she received a hospital bill that exceeded the amount of our offer and she had two subsequent doctor visits, as well as one additional upcoming scheduled visitThe adjuster advised that she understood, but that we would need itemized documentation in order to support the higher amounts, and requested that Mrs [redacted] send us documentation as received in order to assist with the timely settlement of her bodily injury claimWe also advised that we would be checking in with Mrs [redacted] every few weeks for treatment updates, and on 12/18/Mrs [redacted] informed the adjuster that she would prefer to communicate by e-mail—while the adjuster was willing to accommodate this request, it did present additional delays in the settlement of Mrs***’ claimOn 1/10/2018, Mrs [redacted] advised that the [redacted] and urgent care physician would contact us to file their claims and provide the required documentation, but that she was having difficulty in contacting the emergency room to do the sameMrs [redacted] further expressed her frustration with our requirement to obtain medical records on 1/12/2018, to which the adjuster responded with links and information from the hospital’s website in order to better assist Mrs [redacted] with collecting this documentationWe received one emergency room bill on 1/16/2018, and the adjuster advised Mrs [redacted] that we still need medical records or an itemized version of this bill in order to support payment for the billed amountMrs [redacted] e-mailed the adjuster on 1/22/to inform that the emergency room bill had been adjusted, and advised that she would send an itemized version of the revised billOn 1/30/2018, Elephant received medical records from Mrs***’ primary care physicianMrs [redacted] asked for a settlement update on 2/8/2018, to which the adjuster responded with a list of the items we have received, and advised that we were still missing the itemized bill and/or medical records from the emergency room and her urgent care facility (as we only had a discharge summary from urgent care at this point) We also asked for an update regarding her physical therapy progress, to which Mrs [redacted] responded stating that she decided not to keep her physical therapy appointment, as she felt it was unnecessary since the prescribed medications and other suggested treatments were enough to resolve her injuryAs Mrs***’ willful refusal to accept physical therapy treatment indicates that the whiplash/strain experienced were of an incredibly low severity, this was taken into consideration during future discussions regarding settlement offers for Mrs***’ pain and suffering We continued our attempts to collect itemized bills and medical records from Mrs [redacted] through 2/28/2018, when Mrs [redacted] advised that she wanted to settle based upon the information that we had already receivedThe adjuster received management authorization to present a settlement, and e-mailed a chart to Mrs [redacted] confirming the billed amounts for treatment received (emergency room visit, urgent care visit, and primary care physician visit) and the one day of lost wages for time missed from work, and advised that we are anticipating a potential bill from the emergency room physiciansThe adjuster informed that the total for the bills received was still below the originally proposed settlement offer, and stated that we could structure the settlement into two parts—one for inconvenience, lost wages, and out of pocket expenses, and another part that would cover the medical bills received and also leave funds available for any potential bills not yet receivedWe asked Mrs [redacted] to provide amounts that she felt would be reasonable for those two costs, to which she replied on 3/5/that she is agreeable to our offer covering the received medical bills as long as the future bills would be covered, and proposed a settlement of $ [redacted] [redacted] for pain and sufferingThe adjuster responded on 3/7/2018, advising that while we do not expect to see a bill from the emergency room physicians in excess of $***.**, we would be willing to increase the limit for the medical portion of the claim in the case that the physician bills are higher than anticipatedHowever, the adjuster explained that settlements for inconvenience/pain and suffering can vary depending on type of injury, type of treatment received, length of treatment received, and many other factors, which is how we assessed this part of the claimIn Mrs***’ claim, there was one visit to the emergency room, one visit to an urgent care physician, and one visit to a primary care physicianThe injuries are soft tissue, meaning there were no broken bones that take significant treatment or time to heal, and Mrs [redacted] determined that her injuries did not require physical therapyThe impact to the vehicle was moderate based on the amount of damage to the vehicle, and only one day of time missed from workBased on these factors, we were unable to justify settling the pain and suffering portion of the claim at the $ [redacted] [redacted] requested by Mrs***Rather, Elephant came to propose an increased figure that more appropriately matched the severity of the injury and time missed from workElephant has not yet received a response to our 3/7/e-mail, but encourage her to reach out to her adjuster if she would like to accept our proposed settlement or negotiate furtherWe strive to provide every policyholder with a positive customer service experienceIf we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to call us at (877) [redacted] Sincerely, Gina K [redacted] Compliance State Manager Elephant Insurance Services

January 28, [redacted] Dear [redacted] Thank you for notifying Elephant Auto Insurance (Elephant) regarding the concerns of [redacted] Elephant reimbursed Mr [redacted] for the rental for his rental vehicle from the day that he obtained it through the day that work should have been completed on his vehicleThe shop that Mr [redacted] chose to use for repairs to his vehicle exceeded the timeline on their estimate by days The shop did not present a supplement for additional damage to support the delay in completion of repairs The shop that Mr [redacted] selected is not in Elephant’s network; therefore we do not guarantee their work and cannot cover rental expenses for their delayWe strive to provide every policyholder with a positive customer service experienceIf we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to call us at [redacted] Sincerely, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the offer and/or response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below [Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]I did call them the fifteenth of November to tell them to cancel my policy It is not my problem if they do not adequately keep records of that I did fill out the form they are talking about on the 10th and when they sent me the updated policy cost I called to cancel because it was more than originally agreed upon It does not seem like you are very customer service oriented and if you have no problem stealing from your ex customers There should be no reason why they won't refund my money It seems like they conveniently didn't add my cancellation so they could keep my money Why did it take them so long to steal the money out of my account? If elephant is truly customer oriented they wouldn't be making it so difficult to get money back that was so obviously stolen from me! If there is really a person at the Revdex.com reading this it should be obvious what is happening I didn't eat for three days because these thieves stole this money out of my account with no warning! How can they sleep at night?? I told them that on the phone too! [redacted]

Dear [redacted] : Thank you for notifying Elephant Auto Insurance (Elephant) regarding this customer's concerns The policy holder, [redacted] ***, began a policy with Elephant effective 9/9/under policy [redacted] He began his renewal policy [redacted] , his 3rd term with Elephant, effective 9/9/ Elephant's first policy term with [redacted] *** was relatively uneventfulHowever, when the policyholder reached his first renewal entering term 2, he called in on September 8,2012, upset that his premium was changingThe agent explained that his policy was renewing under the current renewal rates filed with the Bureau of Insurance, which were a bit higherThe policyholder accused Elephant of fraudulent activity because he didn't like the rate increase, that he was now being billed monthly, he didn't like Homeowner's customer service, and escalated to a supervisorThe supervisor explained that [redacted] *** had paid one annual payment last term and could continue to pay in month or by one annual payment; he was simply being billed showing a monthly payment option On February 5,2013, the customer called in upset again because he thought he had paid for months but had gotten a statement for $premium dueHe was upset no one had called him and he had gotten an emailThe agent advised that he was receiving a paperless discount, which meant his statements came to email, and that our agents don't make outbound calls to customers to collect premiums [redacted] *** asked if there was an office he could go to [redacted] *** was advised that Elephant is a direct to consumer insurance agency, and as such, could be reached by phone or online, but there are no offices [redacted] *** demanded another supervisor, and then demanded an apology directly from the CEO for what he described as "scamming business practices." Elephant CEO [redacted] was available and returned a call to the customer on February with Operations Manager *** to further explained the billing systemSome invoice fees were waived as a one-time courtesy because the customer agreed to begin paying his invoices by check on a monthly basis The policyholder did not send his past due amount as agreed and cancelled for non-paymentHe called in on March 9, and was upset and irate with one agent, then again demanded a supervisor, then escalated again to Operations Manager *** who again attempted to explain billing to the policyholderThe policyholder seemed to understand the explanation and then paid the past due amount to reinstate his policy From this point forward, *** began attempting to call the customer on the 9th of each month to explain billing and accept payments in hopes to spare agents from his stressful behavior because our automated phone payment system had to be shut down for revamping and this seemed to be something that upset [redacted] ***This did not always spare agents, as [redacted] *** would continue to call in with questions and conduct himself rudely and unprofessionally, making statements like on 5/11/to agents such as, "you could be the next victim of violent crime" when he became irate with their service and *** was unavailable to personally take his calls However, his behavior and threats have continued to escalateOn September 3,2013, [redacted] *** wrote an email to [redacted] *** stating the company was lousy and he wanted the CEO to call him or "even better meet with" him, and quote, "Maybe I just need to report this BS to the Revdex.com !! I want to hear from him SOON !!" *** contacted him, resolved his current issue and collected months premium When he came due for payment again, [redacted] *** called again on April 9, 2014, escalated to *** and once again demanded to speak to the CEO over his continued billing dissatisfaction, Unfortunately, there were not billing issues, simply [redacted] *** not understanding the billing process, which is the same system used for all other customers On May ,2014, *** tried to contact the policyholder to collect payment and was unable to reach him [redacted] *** called on May and did let an agent collect payment, but not before arguing over the payment plans, his "billing issues", our advertising, and quality of customer service On June 25,2014, [redacted] *** called [redacted] *** personally to let him know that she was leaving the company and that other members of service would be happy to assist him with his payments around the 9th of each month until his policy renewed and he could be placed on auto payNo other customers received this type of call, which was a special effort by *** made only to attempt to keep [redacted] *** satisfied On July 10,2014, [redacted] *** called again demanding to speak to the CEO because he did not make his payment on the 9th and was afraid he would be cancelledOn the 10th, supervisor [redacted] called him attempting to take his payment because she had been unavailable on the 9th [redacted] *** would not talk with [redacted] and began arguing about the billing with herHe escalated to another supervisor, [redacted] He wanted to pay his entire balance due on the August payment, and as he was near his final policy payment, they were able to approve thisHowever, a payment technically was due on July 9, as several agents he contacted had tried to explain On July 29,2014, Call lD [redacted] , [redacted] *** called our Customer Service Department inquiring if [redacted] was availableHe was advised [redacted] shift does not begin until 1PM, to which he responds, "No wonder she is useless." He asks to speak to her supervisorA supervisor, [redacted] , takes the callHe states he cannot get assistance since the Operations Manager *** left [redacted] *** complains that he has requested proof of insurance and has not received itThe supervisor points out that it was sent by email and he stated to the agent he received it [redacted] *** says he cannot open the attachments and he requested by mailSupervisor states that there was never a request to send by mailHe begins to complain about not receiving documents requested and threatens legal actionHe then asks about billing issues [redacted] tries to explain the billingThe customer begins yelling at the supervisor, not allowing her to explain or helpHe continues to yell over anything the supervisor says and begins to threaten legal action and contacting the Revdex.com and news stations with "proof" that he cannot receive serviceThe supervisor patiently tries to respond, over which he continues to yell demands that the CEO be put on the line, demands an address to come have a sit down and make his complaintsHe then begins to curse our agent and yell louder at the supervisorThe supervisor patiently deals with the customer, despite him insulting her intelligence, stating she has no brains, continuing to curseThe supervisor request he respectfully provide a phone number in a professional manner, or she will disconnect the callHe ceases yelling for one moment to provide a phone number, then begins yelling again calling the agent an itThe supervisor thanks him for providing the information and says she is disconnecting the call and wishes him a great dayHe calls her an it before she disconnects On August 8,2014, supervisor [redacted] attempted to call [redacted] *** to assist him with his final policy term payment, as the 9th was a SaturdayHe began yelling at her stating he was waiting for the CEO to call him as that he has reported us to the Revdex.com, [redacted] advised that she was only calling to assist him with his payment and did not wish to discuss the CEOHe continued to scream at her, so she advised that she was disconnecting the call due to his abusive and foul language After reviewing the most recent recorded customer service calls, our CEO has decided he will have no further discussions with [redacted] *** at this timeWe do not have face to face meetings with any customers and would be reluctant to do so at this time with [redacted] *** due to his customer service historyIt has been years since the customer began complaining about Elephant service, threatening to cancel and take his business elsewhere, threatening legal action, Revdex.com complaints, and contacting the newsHe has now escalated into threats and harassment of our service representatives through his rude behavior, as reflected in the recorded calls If [redacted] *** truly believes that Elephant customer service is not acceptable, why does he continue to insure with the company almost years later? Elephant employees have gone above and beyond to attempt to provide [redacted] *** with exceptional customer service, but there is no appreciation ever given for these effortsAdditionally, Elephant will not continue to let this customer be rude, unprofessional, and irate with our agents who have tried desperately to provide a high level of customer service to [redacted] ***, despite his unwillingness to treat them with the respect they deserve [redacted] *** is currently delinquent $($in premium due and a $late fee)His policy term was to run through 9/9/14, but with the current delinquency, [redacted] *** has only paid equity through August and is set to cancel for nonpayment on August 28,This will leave a balance due if the attached Notice of Cancellation for Non-Payment of Premium invoice is not paid in full by the cancellation date If the remaining balance is not paid by the cancellation date, [redacted] *** will also not be renewed for his fourth termIf [redacted] *** makes his payment and chooses to renew, he will owe a down payment on his renewal policy as well because he did not make his renewal payment on time (days in advance) due to the current policy's delinquencyHowever, should [redacted] *** renew, Elephant customer service representatives will no longer be contacting [redacted] *** personally to collect his paymentsHe will be treated like all other customers who pay their bills on their own initiative and either pay his invoices when emailed or set his account up for auto payment The cheapest and easiest alternative for [redacted] *** to pay without having to understand billing is to pay the past due balance of $for the current term and his renewal annual premium in full of $($+ $invoice fee)If [redacted] *** wishes to have me personally collect his payments and set up his renewal policy, he may contact me at [redacted] extension ***If I am not available and he leaves a message, I will return his call as quickly as possible We strive to provide every policyholder with a positive customer service experienceIf we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to call us at [redacted] Sincerely, [redacted] *** Product Compliance Specialist, Complaints Coordinator
