Number: *** Dear *** ***: We received your correspondence dated December 28, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information on our response, as you requested. On October 27, 2017, the complainant was involved in an automobile accident in which she rear-ended another vehicle. She chose not to have her vehicle repaired. GEICO paid the claimant for the repairs to his vehicle. On November 14, 2017, the complainant had a flat tire and requested a tow to a tire shop. We dispatched *** *** *** *** ***to transport the vehicle. On November 20, 2017, the complainant called to report additional damage which she believed was the result of an improper tow. On November 30, 2017, we sent an auto damage adjuster to inspect the vehicle. The adjuster determined the damage could not be related to an improper tow. He advised this damage had likely happened when she rear-ended the vehicle in October. On January 4, 2018, Hope S***, Manager in our Emergency Road Service Department, called the complainant and advised her of the inspection results. She advised that if she wanted to have her vehicle repaired, our automobile adjuster would be able to reopen the October claim with the understanding that repairs would be subject to her $deductible. The complainant already had the adjuster’s phone number and stated she would follow up with him. As a courtesy, due to the length of the investigation, we paid for days of rental at a cost of $1,We trust this information is sufficient to allow you to close out the complaint.

This
will acknowledge receipt of your request regarding the above named
insured’s private passenger automobile policy.
In
*** ***’s correspondence to your organization, he expresses
concern regarding an increase in policy premium resulting from a
change in underwriting information
on the policy. He has
requested that the original policy premium be honored
GEICO’s
records show that *** *** purchased the above policy via
telephone on September 22, to be effective September 29,
The policy was bound with a six month premium of $and includes
his spouse, *** ***. The driving experience of the
operators listed on the policy is one of the many underwriting
factors taken into consideration when determining premium. An
operator with more driving experience is considered to be more
favorable and may result in a lower premium compared to someone with
less driving experience. On the application, *** ***
advised of foreign driving experience of years and years of
foreign driving experience for his spouse. It is our practice
to give credit to the customer for foreign driving experience in lieu
of a certified copy of an abstract, showing the driving history of
the listed operators, and proof of the date they were first
licensed. The GEICO salesperson advised *** *** that the
premium was conditional and that both he and his spouse would need to
provide proof of the date that they were first licensed along with
the driving history from India within days
On
October 27, 2017, a letter was sent to **and *** ***
explaining that we needed a copy of their abstracts from India and
proof of date first licensed within days in order to honor their
foreign driving experience. Unfortunately, no proof of date
first licensed or Indian driving history was received for either **
*** or his spouse Effective November 15, the
policy premium was updated to $2,and reflected a limited
driving history for *** *** and his spouse.
It
is GEICO’s position that all proper procedures were followed in the
handling of *** ***’s policy. GEICO would be willing
to backdate the change in driving experience to November 15, if
*** *** provides us with the requested information stated
above by December 15, If you have any questions, or if GEICO
can be of any further service in this matter, please contact Barbara F* at ###-###-####. Sincerely,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Recognizing GEICO was not going to take responsibility for the event I contacted and filed a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Banking and InsuranceThis organization's involvement is the reason for the settlement, I was contacted by their agent and we discussed optionsI provided the investigator my evidence and timeline of eventsWhile I was adamant about the cause of the failure, the failure being a result of the accidentI did take responsibility for not having my mechanic keep the damaged part for GEICO's review, I had no idea it would be neededThat shared responsibility is the rationale behind my 50% shared cost agreement. Oddly enough GEICO would like us all to believe this is a settlement they authored and did so to "assist" a customerThe reality is they were being questioned by a Government organization and their omission of details and facts would be investigated by this AgencyI appreciate the assistance of the Revdex.com and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance

Heather M*** Assistant Vice President May 22, The Revdex.com ATTN: *** *** K Street, NW, 10th Floor Washington, DC 20005- Consumer Complaint Number: *** Dear Ms***, We received your correspondence dated May 18, 2017, regarding the above complaint. We attempted to reach our insured by phone on May 19, 2017, and May 22, 2017, however we were unsuccessful in reaching them On September 8, 2016, our insured purchased a Missouri-rated policy effective September 9, 2017, through March 9, 2017, covering a *** ***o and a *** ***. The six month premium was $1,237.21, which our insured paid in full at the time of purchase. We mailed policy documents to our insured on September 9, 2017. Unfortunately, our insured’s spouse was involved in an accident in the ***, which was determined to be a total loss. Our insured removed the *** from his policy, resulting in a policy credit of $220.33. On February 3, 2017, the renewal for policy term effective March 9, 2017, through September 9, 2017, posted to the policy. The six month premium for this term was $820.83, and the policy credit of $was applied to the renewal bill. This left a balance of $due on March 9, 2017, for the renewal term. We mailed renewal documents to our insured on February 4, Our insured contacted us on February 10, 2017, and requested that this policy be cancelled effective March 9, 2017. We updated the policy per his request, reversing the renewal charge of $and leaving a credit in the amount of $220.33. We refunded the credit to our insured by check on February 12, 2017. On March 3, 2017, our named insured’s spouse, who is a co-insured on the policy, contacted us to request that the policy cancellation be effective April 9, 2017, instead of March 9, 2017. As a co-insured on the policy, she is authorized to make changes. Therefore, we updated the policy per her request, and advised her that the balance due on the policy for the additional month of coverage was $138.32. We mailed policy documents, including a bill for the updated policy balance, to our insured on March 4, 2017. Unfortunately, a payment was not received, and the balance of $remains due for coverage provided from March 9, 2017, to April 9, 2017. If our prior insured obtained coverage with another company prior to April 9, 2017, with a copy of their new policy declaration page, we can certainly adjust our cancellation date accordingly We randomly record calls for quality and training purposes, and recorded calls are only maintained for a short amount of time. Unfortunately, our insured’s calls were not recorded, and thus we are unable to review them. We regret that the service our insured received did not meet his expectations, and we sincerely apologize for failing to meet our high standards of service excellence We hope that this letter provides a clearer understanding of the current status of this matter.

Complaint:
I am rejecting this response because:Geico has employed a collision "expert" who has mis-diagnosed an old scratch that clearly occurred years ago with fresh damage which I have reportedThere is absolutely no advantage for me to misrepresent this collision as non movement since I am insured whether moving or stationaryAt this point I find Geico not to be objective with my claim and their next step as a resolution is to bring their own investigator in and their own court reporter in to swear in only me but who is to examine their testimony and findings objectively?, themselves? I request a third party to examine this case. If this is not possible then I am requesting this case be adjudicated in a civil court where their investigator also has to testify and I will present my expert from Don Valens auto Body shop, Clovis, CA who will discredit Geico's investigators finding as either testimony or incompetent testimony as a collision "expert"
Regards,
*** ***
As my active insurance company, I would hope you have my best interests in mind when addressing this situationIn regards to the premium increase that happened, I have never heard of an insurance company raising a payment throughout a car lifetimeMy father has had state farm for years and had bought new cars, and never had an increase. He's owned cars for decades, and no increases were ever implemented on his policiesThe *** *** started production in June of 2010, while models were It took you guys years to determine the costs of repairing the vehicle? To me that doesn't make senseAvailability of parts as well as repair costs generally lower as time progressesIn response to the recent accident, as an insurance company, if something doesn't add up, aren't you guys supposed to investigate and find answers before you deem someone right or wrong? Or is it easier to split the costs between the two drivers involved?

This
* at ###-###-####. Sincerely,
will acknowledge receipt of your request regarding the above named
insured’s private passenger automobile policy.
In
*** ***’s correspondence to your organization, he expresses
concern regarding an increase in policy premium resulting from a
change in underwriting information
on the policy. He has
requested that the original policy premium be honored
GEICO’s
records show that *** *** purchased the above policy via
telephone on September 22, to be effective September 29,
The policy was bound with a six month premium of $and includes
his spouse, *** ***. The driving experience of the
operators listed on the policy is one of the many underwriting
factors taken into consideration when determining premium. An
operator with more driving experience is considered to be more
favorable and may result in a lower premium compared to someone with
less driving experience. On the application, *** ***
advised of foreign driving experience of years and years of
foreign driving experience for his spouse. It is our practice
to give credit to the customer for foreign driving experience in lieu
of a certified copy of an abstract, showing the driving history of
the listed operators, and proof of the date they were first
licensed. The GEICO salesperson advised *** *** that the
premium was conditional and that both he and his spouse would need to
provide proof of the date that they were first licensed along with
the driving history from India within days
On
October 27, 2017, a letter was sent to **and *** ***
explaining that we needed a copy of their abstracts from India and
proof of date first licensed within days in order to honor their
foreign driving experience. Unfortunately, no proof of date
first licensed or Indian driving history was received for either **
*** or his spouse Effective November 15, the
policy premium was updated to $2,and reflected a limited
driving history for *** *** and his spouse.
It
is GEICO’s position that all proper procedures were followed in the
handling of *** ***’s policy. GEICO would be willing
to backdate the change in driving experience to November 15, if
*** *** provides us with the requested information stated
above by December 15, If you have any questions, or if GEICO
can be of any further service in this matter, please contact Barbara

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Recognizing GEICO was not going to take responsibility for the event I contacted and filed a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Banking and InsuranceThis organization's involvement is the reason for the settlement, I was contacted by their agent and we discussed optionsI provided the investigator my evidence and timeline of eventsWhile I was adamant about the cause of the failure, the failure being a result of the accidentI did take responsibility for not having my mechanic keep the damaged part for GEICO's review, I had no idea it would be neededThat shared responsibility is the rationale behind my 50% shared cost agreement. Oddly enough GEICO would like us all to believe this is a settlement they authored and did so to "assist" a customerThe reality is they were being questioned by a Government organization and their omission of details and facts would be investigated by this AgencyI appreciate the assistance of the Revdex.com and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance

Heather M*** Assistant Vice President May 22, The Revdex.com ATTN: *** *** K Street, NW, 10th Floor Washington, DC 20005- Consumer Complaint Number: *** Dear Ms***, We received your correspondence dated May 18, 2017, regarding the above complaint. We attempted to reach our insured by phone on May 19, 2017, and May 22, 2017, however we were unsuccessful in reaching them On September 8, 2016, our insured purchased a Missouri-rated policy effective September 9, 2017, through March 9, 2017, covering a *** ***o and a *** ***. The six month premium was $1,237.21, which our insured paid in full at the time of purchase. We mailed policy documents to our insured on September 9, 2017. Unfortunately, our insured’s spouse was involved in an accident in the ***, which was determined to be a total loss. Our insured removed the *** from his policy, resulting in a policy credit of $220.33. On February 3, 2017, the renewal for policy term effective March 9, 2017, through September 9, 2017, posted to the policy. The six month premium for this term was $820.83, and the policy credit of $was applied to the renewal bill. This left a balance of $due on March 9, 2017, for the renewal term. We mailed renewal documents to our insured on February 4, Our insured contacted us on February 10, 2017, and requested that this policy be cancelled effective March 9, 2017. We updated the policy per his request, reversing the renewal charge of $and leaving a credit in the amount of $220.33. We refunded the credit to our insured by check on February 12, 2017. On March 3, 2017, our named insured’s spouse, who is a co-insured on the policy, contacted us to request that the policy cancellation be effective April 9, 2017, instead of March 9, 2017. As a co-insured on the policy, she is authorized to make changes. Therefore, we updated the policy per her request, and advised her that the balance due on the policy for the additional month of coverage was $138.32. We mailed policy documents, including a bill for the updated policy balance, to our insured on March 4, 2017. Unfortunately, a payment was not received, and the balance of $remains due for coverage provided from March 9, 2017, to April 9, 2017. If our prior insured obtained coverage with another company prior to April 9, 2017, with a copy of their new policy declaration page, we can certainly adjust our cancellation date accordingly We randomly record calls for quality and training purposes, and recorded calls are only maintained for a short amount of time. Unfortunately, our insured’s calls were not recorded, and thus we are unable to review them. We regret that the service our insured received did not meet his expectations, and we sincerely apologize for failing to meet our high standards of service excellence We hope that this letter provides a clearer understanding of the current status of this matter.

Complaint:
I am rejecting this response because:Geico has employed a collision "expert" who has mis-diagnosed an old scratch that clearly occurred years ago with fresh damage which I have reportedThere is absolutely no advantage for me to misrepresent this collision as non movement since I am insured whether moving or stationaryAt this point I find Geico not to be objective with my claim and their next step as a resolution is to bring their own investigator in and their own court reporter in to swear in only me but who is to examine their testimony and findings objectively?, themselves? I request a third party to examine this case. If this is not possible then I am requesting this case be adjudicated in a civil court where their investigator also has to testify and I will present my expert from Don Valens auto Body shop, Clovis, CA who will discredit Geico's investigators finding as either testimony or incompetent testimony as a collision "expert"
Regards,
*** ***
As my active insurance company, I would hope you have my best interests in mind when addressing this situationIn regards to the premium increase that happened, I have never heard of an insurance company raising a payment throughout a car lifetimeMy father has had state farm for years and had bought new cars, and never had an increase. He's owned cars for decades, and no increases were ever implemented on his policiesThe *** *** started production in June of 2010, while models were It took you guys years to determine the costs of repairing the vehicle? To me that doesn't make senseAvailability of parts as well as repair costs generally lower as time progressesIn response to the recent accident, as an insurance company, if something doesn't add up, aren't you guys supposed to investigate and find answers before you deem someone right or wrong? Or is it easier to split the costs between the two drivers involved?
