CLAIM NUMBER:...

DATE OF LOSS: December 14, 2016
COMPANY: GEICO General Insurance Company
Dear Ms. [redacted]:
Thank you for your letter dated December 23, 2016 regarding our insured [redacted].
On December 14, 2016, Mrs. [redacted] was involved in a [redacted] with another vehicle while exiting a mall parking lot. The vehicle was safe to operate from the scene and an inspection was scheduled for December 19, 2016 at 11:30am.
Mrs. [redacted] and another gentleman arrived on time for their 11:30am appointment and checked in with the front counter. Unfortunately, there was a breakdown of communication and our adjuster, James Foster, was not notified of their arrival. In the interim another appointment called and advised they had gone to the wrong location and were on their way but they may be a little late. Our claims adjuster and shop personal greeted the later appointment and handled the process as per our guidelines.
After handing off the later customer to [redacted] Rent-A-Car, James F[redacted] and Auto Damage Supervisor Matthew S[redacted] were confronted by the gentleman accompanying Mrs. [redacted]. He did not provide his name and asked if they were with GEICO. After replying yes, he stated he had been waiting for 45 minutes to be seen. It was unknown to our staff Mrs. [redacted] had been waiting. Mr. S[redacted] apologized to the gentleman, advised Mr. F[redacted] had everything he needed and he would write the estimate immediately. Mrs. [redacted]’s vehicle was inspected by Mr. F[redacted] and he wrote an estimate for the visible damages only including the replacement of the front bumper cover and a repair to the right fender.
After the inspection was complete Mr. F[redacted] presented Mrs. [redacted] with a copy of the estimate for repairs with an estimated cost of $1,228.23. As the vehicle in question has a lienholder, payment less a $1,000.00 deductible in the amount of $228.53 was issued to [redacted] and North Park [redacted]. North Park [redacted] was named as the body shop of choice by [redacted]. At the time of inspection, Mrs. [redacted] questioned the cost of repair, but accepted the estimate and the payment.
On December 20, 2016, Mrs. [redacted] sent in an internet inquiry stating she would not accept the estimate. Mr. S[redacted] attempted to contact Mrs. [redacted] unsuccessfully and left a detailed message including his contact information and a request to return his call. He did not receive a call back. Later that afternoon Mrs. [redacted] returned to [redacted], and returned the estimate and the payment to James F[redacted] and left the building.
On December 27, 2016, Mr. S[redacted] attempted to make contact with Mrs. [redacted] again and was unsuccessful. He left another detailed message explaining he would like to resolve her concerns. He offered to re-inspect the vehicle, but needed details on the body shop where the vehicle will be repaired. We still have not received a call back. After reviewing the claim notes we noticed another internet inquiry was sent in advising Mrs. [redacted]’s vehicle was being brought to a repair shop on December 27, 2016. Mr. S[redacted] then sent an e-mail to the e-mail address on file to determine Mrs. [redacted]'s repair shop information, so we can resolve any concerns regarding the repair estimate. We still have not received a reply.
We would like to acknowledge and apologize for the delay experienced by Mrs. [redacted] during the initial inspection process. We have reviewed our initial inspection photos and believe that the estimate of record is complete and accurate based upon our initial visible inspection. If additional damage is found and verified by us as being loss related we would be more than willing to review such items with Mrs. [redacted]’s repair facility of choice. Any verified additional loss related damages will be addressed on a supplement inspection. Once Mrs. [redacted] notifies us of whom she would like payment to be issued to we will reissue the payment in the amount of $228.53 and any additional supplement damages found as a two party check.
If there are any additional questions, please feel free to contact Claims Manager Kelly R[redacted] at ###-###-####.

[redacted] COMPLAINANT: [redacted] CLAIM NUMBER: [redacted] ...⇄ OF LOSS: September 28, 2015 COMPANY: Government Employees Insurance Company Dear [redacted]: This letter is in response to your correspondence dated July 20, 2016. This loss is a lane change dispute. The only evidence available to GEICO was recorded statements from both parties involved. There were no witnesses who came forward, and the police did not investigate the loss. The accident occurred on Corporate Drive near Interstate ** in Lewisville, Texas. The road is four lanes, two in each direction. The right lane ends as it approaches the highway and becomes a turn only lane. The left lane is a straight only lane. [redacted] advised he was traveling in the right lane and the other vehicle was behind him. He stated he turned on his left blinker and began to change lanes when the impact occurred. He said the other driver must have moved into the lane just before or at the same time he was changing lanes, sped up and struck the driver's side rear of his vehicle when he was in the process of changing lanes. The other driver’s version indicates he had always been traveling in the left lane. He stated he was driving forward when he saw [redacted] in a lane which became a right turn only. At that time, he advised [redacted] came into his lane causing the accident. We estimated and photographed both vehicles involved. The other driver’s damages are located on the passenger’s side front fender near the wheel-well and along the passenger side running board. The majority of damage to [redacted]’ vehicle is on the driver side near the bed of the truck and cab, not the rear as his statement indicated. The damages are not indicative of a rear-end loss as described by [redacted]. The damages suggest the other driver was next to [redacted] and [redacted] struck the other driver while he was already established in the left lane. Due to the statements given to us as well as the damages, we found [redacted] responsible for the loss and paid for the other party’s damages. GEICO advised [redacted] on October 1, 2015 of the liability decision in regard to this claim. We also spoke to [redacted] on November 16, 2015 and advised her of the liability decision as well. [redacted] contacted his adjuster on July 19, 2016. [redacted]’ call was returned on the 19th and he was advised of our liability decision. We called and left a message for [redacted] to further discuss the investigation and decision on July 20, 2016. We spoke with [redacted] on July 25, 2016 and explained our liability decision. If you have any questions, please contact Claims Manager Emily R[redacted] at ###-###-####. Sincerely, Paul M[redacted] Assistant Vice President

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I have had Geico for many, many years as my insurance provider. I have never had to submit any insurance claims, nor have I ever missed a payment. I have been a loyal customer and this is how I am treated?? This is totally unacceptable! It's bad enough that every time my policy renews the price goes up, through no fault of my own but because apparently the area I live in gets more and more high risk. The lack of customer service and understanding in this situation is appalling. I will be changing to a different insurance carrier as soon as possible, the fact that they are willing to lose a long time customer over a $20 fee speaks volumes, and I will be informing many people about the way I've been mistreated by Geico.

November 22, 2017Revdex.com Serving Metro Washington DC & Eastern PennsylvaniaATTN: [redacted]1411 K St. NW, 10th FloorWashington DC 20005-3404RE: File Number: [redacted]Dear [redacted], We received your correspondence dated November...
16, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response, as you requested. On November 8, 2017, the complainant’s spouse reported he was rear-ended by an unknown party on November 2, 2017, who left the scene of the accident. Our insured indicated he had not yet filed a police report. We informed our insured that he did not have collision coverage on his policy, and his uninsured motorist property damage coverage required he report a hit-and-run accident to police within 24 hours of the occurrence.Our insured said a police officer informed him that he had 10 days to file a police report, and also indicated he believed he obtained the unknown party’s license plate number. We agreed to conduct a license plate search to attempt to locate the owner or insurer of the vehicle. On November 10, 2017, we spoke to the complainant, and we informed her that the tag number her spouse provided appeared invalid, as it had not been active since 2003. The uninsured motorist property damage coverage in the complainant’s contract requires that the owner or operator of an uninsured motor vehicle be identified, or that the uninsured motor vehicle be identified by license plate number, for coverage to apply. Although the license plate number provided by our insured had not been in use for 14 years, and appeared to be improper, we have adjusted our decision and agreed to provide coverage for the loss. We left a voice mail message for our insureds, requesting that they contact us to arrange a vehicle inspection. We will continue our efforts to reach the consumer to appraise her vehicle and settle the claim. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Gail M[redacted] by phone at ###-###-####, by fax at ###-###-####, or by email [redacted]@geico.com.

RE: Complaint ID: [redacted]
Dear Ms. [redacted]:
Thank you for your letter of March 8, 2017 regarding the consumer’s...
claim in reference to Complaint ID [redacted].
We apologize for any failure in prompt, courteous, and efficient customer service that we aim to provide to all of our customers. The concerns regarding no contact and not returning voicemails is not within our business practices and we have provided feedback to all that have been involved with the handling of the consumer's claim.
We spoke with the consumer on March 9, 2017 and confirmed his address in order to mail him a check to repair his vehicle. On March 13, 2017, we contact the consumer to confirm payment was issued. During our discussion with the consumer, he stated he preferred the check be issued to and mailed directly to his body shop of choice. We placed a stop pay on the check that was issued on March 9, 2017 and issued a new check per the consumer’s request. We also assisted the consumer with a rental which is being direct billed to GEICO. We confirmed with the consumer that there were no further concerns or unresolved issues.
Should you have further questions, please contact Michael Q[redacted], Liability Claims Director, at ###-###-####.

RE: File Number: [redacted]
Dear Ms. [redacted]:
Thank you for your letter of July 10, 2017 regarding the...
above consumer’s claim.
On May 17, 2017, the consumer was involved in a collision loss and the loss was subsequently reported to us on May 18, 2017. On May 22, 2017, we prepared a repair estimate for the consumer’s vehicle totaling $6,517.06. We inadvertently issued a payment for the repair estimate, minus the consumer’s deductible, to the consumer’s body shop of choice, Palm Beach [redacted]. We quickly recognized this error, communicated the error to the consumer, and took action to correct the payment immediately.
Our estimate for repairs exceeded the actual cash value of the vehicle. As a result, we deemed the consumer’s vehicle to be a total loss. During our inspection of the vehicle, we were unable to obtain the vehicle’s current mileage, which is necessary to determine the vehicle’s value, due to loss of functionality from damages sustained during the collision loss. We communicated to the consumer we would attempt to gain the mileage after the vehicle was relocated to the salvage yard, where additional tools would be at our disposal. On June 1, 2017, we obtained the current mileage for the vehicle and assessed the consumer’s vehicle to have an actual cash value of $5,051.00. After applying applicable sales tax of $353.06 and taking into account the consumer’s $500 collision deductible, we reached a final settlement amount of $4,904.06 and communicated this information to the consumer.
On June 5 2017, we agreed to meet the consumer at Palm Beach [redacted] to complete the settlement process. Upon the consumer’s arrival, our adjuster was assisting another customer and the consumer advised she was not able to wait and left the shop’s office. Between June 7, 2017 and June 12, 2017, our claim file notes three attempts to contact the consumer to schedule a new date and time to complete the settlement.
We apologize our level of communication did not meet the consumer’s expectation. To date, we have not received a response from the consumer regarding settling the claim. We are happy to complete the settlement at the consumer’s earliest convenience. In addition, we will review any additional rental vehicle invoices for potential reimbursement.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our South Florida Manager, Evan R[redacted], at ###-###-####.
February 23, 2018Dear [redacted]:This will acknowledge receipt
of your request regarding the above named insured’s private passenger
automobile policy. In [redacted]’s
correspondence to your organization she expresses concern regarding the
cancellation of her GEICO automobile insurance...
policy for non-payment of
premium and subsequent increase in premium upon reissue.GEICO’s records show that on
December 9, 2017, [redacted] and her spouse purchased a Massachusetts
automobile insurance policy and a New York automobile insurance policy. The New York policy was enrolled into GEICO’s
monthly automatic payment plan whereas the Massachusetts policy was not.On December 21, 2017, an
installment bill was sent for the Massachusetts policy advising that a payment
of $103.84 was due on January 10, 2018.
No payment was received. As a
result, a notice of cancellation for non-payment of premium was sent on January
12, 2018 advising that a payment of $87.17 would be due by February 2, 2018 to
avoid policy cancellation.[redacted] contacted GEICO
via telephone on January 16, 2018, and changed the credit card information used
for the monthly automatic payments on the New York policy. There was no payment made to the New York
policy using the new credit card information.As no payment was received,
the Massachusetts policy was cancelled on February 2, 2018 for non-payment of
premium. Per Massachusetts regulation,
the policy was reported to the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) that it had
cancelled for non-payment of premium. Please note that GEICO does not report the
cancellation of policies for non-payment of premium to any of the Credit Bureau
agencies. [redacted] contacted GEICO
via telephone on February 9, 2018 and requested a quote to reissue the
Massachusetts policy. She was offered a
quote to reissue the policy in a higher priced tier based upon GEICO’s filed
and approved underwriting guidelines. [redacted] declined GEICO’s
offer of reissue.In regards to [redacted]’s
concern that she is being penalized by having to pay for one year up front, in
Massachusetts some insurance companies may require that the customer pay the
policy premium in full if their policy with their last carrier cancelled for
non-payment of premium.Upon receipt of
correspondence from your organization, the policy was reviewed for resolution
of [redacted]’s concerns. As a matter
of good faith and excellent customer service, GEICO would like to offer to
reinstate the policy effective February 2, 2018. Barbara F[redacted] of GEICO’s Executive Office
has reached out to [redacted] on February 26th and February 27th to advise her of our offer but unfortunately our attempts to reach her have
been unsuccessful. If [redacted] would like to accept our offer she can
contact Mrs. F[redacted] at ###-###-####.It is GEICO’s position that
all proper procedures were followed in the handling of [redacted]’s policy. If you have any questions, or if GEICO can be
of any further service in this matter, please contact Barbara F[redacted] at

Dear [redacted]:
This...
will acknowledge receipt of your November 13, 2017 inquiry regarding the above referenced private passenger automobile insurance policy.
The above referenced automobile insurance policy was purchased on July 26, 2012 with a coverage effective date of July 27, 2012.
A thorough policy review has been conducted and there are no premium increases or surcharges associated with the losses referenced in the complaint. The policy is currently receiving a five year good driver discount which is only applied to policies where there is no chargeable activity. With regard to the most recent loss on October 19, 2017, liability was assessed to show each driver being 50% responsible due to conflicting statements given by the drivers involved.
Effective on renewal July 27, 2016 there was a slight increase in premium due to a symbol revision for the 2014 [redacted]. The rating symbol helps to determine the cost of Comprehensive and Collision coverage. The symbol reflects the cost of repairs, availability of parts, susceptibility to damage, and other factors that need to be reflected in the premium for the coverages that pay to repair a particular vehicle in the event of a loss. Symbols for most vehicles are in our data base and are determined by automatic symbol assignment. In some circumstances, the symbol may need to be assigned manually when there is limited loss experience data available.
Since there appears to be no valid complaint against GEICO, we ask that this be removed from our record.
If you require further assistance with this matter, please contact the undersigned at ###-###-####.

Dear [redacted]:
We are in receipt of your letter dated March 30, 2017.
The initial repairs to [redacted]’s vehicle were completed on March 7, 2017 and the vehicle was picked up on March 9, 2017. Upon picking up his vehicle, [redacted] noticed that his ** Radio was not working properly. [redacted] addressed this concern with Rick M[redacted], the manager of [redacted], who advised him that the repairs would not have damaged the antenna, but he was welcome to consult with his dealership. Mr. M[redacted] went on to advise that should the dealership be able to identify it was related to the initial repairs then [redacted] would reimburse him for the necessary repairs.
On March 28, 2017, [redacted] uploaded a repair invoice to his claim on GEICO.com from [redacted] in the amount of $417.30 for replacement of the ** antenna, noting it suffered an internal failure. He also uploaded a rental invoice for $167.67. On March 30, 2017, a GEICO supervisor spoke with [redacted] regarding the reimbursement request. On this call, [redacted] stated the XM Radio was working when he dropped the vehicle off for repairs, however it was not working when he picked up the vehicle weeks later.
Since we are unable to determine when and how the electronic failure of the ** device occurred, [redacted] and GEICO have agreed to split the amount of reimbursement to [redacted] to cover the amount of the antenna as well as the rental charges he incurred. We issued a payment of $292.49 to [redacted] on April 4, 2017. [redacted] will pay him directly for their amount.

individual carrier.[redacted] purchased [redacted] policy [redacted] to be effective August 15, 2015 for a one year term.

The increase in coverage generated an additional premium of $346.In July 2016 [redacted] contacted GIAI to dispute the current replacement cost.

This will acknowledge receipt of your July 21, 2015 inquiry regarding the above referenced private passenger automobile insurance policy.Our records indicate that on March 24, 2015 the above policy was established in the name of [redacted] Jr. to insure a 2001 [redacted] with a rated location of...
Wappingers Falls, NY 12590.On April 27, 2015, after a routine review was conducted by our Underwriting Department, the rated location for the above policy was adjusted to reflect a Brooklyn, NY 11211 address since our company’s findings indicate that the said location is the primary place of residency for the insured, and is therefore the primary location of our risk exposure. A letter as well as revised policy paperwork was also sent to the mailing address on file notifying the insured of the reasons for the change. A copy of the letter is enclosed.To date, GEICO has not received sufficient documentation from the insured to unequivocally prove that the Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 location is currently his primary place of residency. The submitted bank statements do not support a Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 rated location, and the insured’s paystub reflects New York City taxes. The insured was informed that the Brooklyn, NY 11211 rated location will be maintained unless unequivocal proof is provided to substantiate residency in Wappingers Falls, NY 12590. Our company does not accept lease agreements or a post office box as proof of residency.Since there appears to be no valid complaint against GEICO, we ask that this be removed from our record.If you require further assistance with this matter, please contact the undersigned at ###-###-####.Very truly yours,Brian O[redacted] Executive Office

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I still have to pay a fee. None of this was explained on the initial phone call to make changes. If the representative would have informed me of the charges and the changes that would be affected by the charges, I may not would have made any changes at all, because my policy was already paid up to date and current. The representative did not inform me there was a charge to add a driver. She did not inform me, I would have to pay any charges for anything. I am very upset because I have been a loyal customer to Geico for years. AND I HAVE NEVER FILED A CLAIM!!!! I have a good driving record, as well as, a good payment history!! They chose to dishonor my loyalty by adding unnecessary charges to my account. I could understand if a claim was filed when I added a driver or something happened during those days. But to be honest, the reason I removed the additions was because they wanted me to pay $710.00 by July 31st. That's a lot of money for one month. That is why I called back to have the policy changed. I found a company that was willing to take monthly payments on my new truck. If that was the policy to charge me per day, a set amount should have been established at the beginning to the conversation with the representative so that I would know all charges up front. Instead they just added all those misc. charges, and expect me, the customer, to pay... with no questions. That is not how you handle business!!! I will let everyone I know exactly how Geico handles business on all of my Social media pages... as well as there pages. And my vehicles will be insured with an another company that will appreciate my loyalty and good payment history.

We have not included any personal identifying information in our response. We attempted to contact our insured on December 12, 2017, however we have not been successful.Our insured’s policy renewed effective May 15, 2017, for a six month premium of $2,070.92. The policy included coverage for our insureds, their 2 children, and 3 vehicles. On July 21, 2017, our insured requested to delete a 2000 [redacted], decreasing the premium to $1,536.94. On August 2, 2017, our insured added a 2006 [redacted], with liability coverage only, increasing the premium to $1,825.64. We emailed policy documents to reflect each policy change. On October 12, 2017, we emailed a policy renewal offer effective November 15, 2017, for a six month premium of $2,366.25.On November 5, 2017, our insureds’ daughter contacted our towing department requesting service for the 2006 [redacted]. Unfortunately, the insured did not have Emergency Road Service coverage on the vehicle. However, our insured contacted our Service Department and added Emergency Road Service to the 2006 [redacted] for future incidents, increasing the premium to $2,380.42. Our insured advised his daughter and son had the 2006 [redacted] in Georgia where they reside while attending school. We advised our insured we would need to issue a separate policy for the 2006 [redacted] and their children since the vehicle was garaged in Georgia.Our insured stated he did not want a Georgia policy issued. We explained that it is our policy to issue a separate policy for any vehicle that will be located in a different state for more than 30 days. This is to ensure we provide adequate coverage for our insured in the state the vehicle is located. In addition, we determine rates on many factors, including the garaged location of the vehicle. The policy was reviewed by our Underwriting Department and a new policy for the 2006 [redacted] and our insured’s children was issued for Georgia for a six month premium of $3,514.40. Policy documents were emailed to our insured, as they had elected to enroll in paperless policy.We spoke to our insured on November 30, 2017, regarding the issuance of the new policy. We explained to our insured because his daughter and son had the vehicle in Georgia, a new policy was issued. We regret our insured has decided to cancel the Georgia policy, leaving a balance of $352.93 for coverages provided from November 13, 2017, to December 1, 2017, without payment. We have advised we are willing to adjust the policy cancellation date with verification of other insurance for their children and the vehicle reflecting they were insured prior to December 1, 2017.

Street NW, 10th Floor Washington, D.C. 20005-3404 Re: Complaint ID: [redacted] Dear [redacted], We received your correspondence dated April 3, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response. We spoke with our insured on April 4, 2017. Our insured obtained a quote online at geico.com on March 28, 2017, and purchased a policy effective April 13, 2017, for a premium of $752.66. One of the factors we use to determine the correct rate is the driving record of the applicant and household members. We advise our applicants that we review consumer reports to confirm their reported driving history, and that the rate may change as a result. It is our process to ask for the driving history over the past five years for every active driver on the policy. Unfortunately, our insured did not disclose an accident which occurred May 23, 2014. After an underwriting review, we discovered the additional activity and updated our insured's policy accordingly, increasing the premium to $851.05. Our insured made a payment of $752.66, and the additional balance of $98.39 is due by April 15, 2017. We spoke to our insured on March 31, 2017, and April 4, 2017, and conducted an additional review of his policy and concerns. We advised that the original premium quoted did not include consideration for the undisclosed accident of May 23, 2014, involving his spouse.

Executive Offices. It was referred to the Richardson, TX Regional Office for a reply.We sincerely apologize for any misinformation Mr. [redacted] may have received from our Customer Service Department. We strive to provide excellent customer service and operate with uncompromising integrity; therefore, any misinformation Mr. [redacted] may have received was unintentional. We reviewed Mr. [redacted]’ policy transactions. A refund is not due as the research revealed Mr. [redacted]’ policy does not have a premium overpayment. GEICO has multiple payment plans and options available. These are referenced on the second page of each Recurring Card payment monthly installment billing notification (copy enclosed). The automatic payment plans are true monthly installment plans. The Direct Invoice monthly installment billing dates are 30 days in advance of the policy dates; therefore, this option requires a one-month paid-in-advance status. A payment must be received, before any payment plan can be updated, if the policy is in a pending nonpayment cancellation status. Mr. [redacted]’ payments were adjusted with each policy change that he requested throughout the policy period. The policy changes are noted below:• Renewal effective April 22, 2016 through October 22, 2016.o The policy was previously enrolled on the monthly Recurring Card Payment billing method. This is a true monthly installment plan. A one-month paid in advance status is not required. o Policy Premium: $455.46o Monthly Installments: $81.91• Policy Change effective May 5, 2016o Coverages added: Comprehensive and Collision at $500 deductible each, Emergency Road Service, and Rental Reimbursement. There was not a change to the payment plan.o Adjusted Premium: $750.40o Adjusted Monthly Installments: $135.71 • Billing Update effective May 17, 2016 o Payment plan was updated from the Recurring Card payment 6-installment plan to the Direct Invoice 1-payment plan. The 1-payment plan is for the full premium amount due. o Current Policy Balance: $658.54 • Policy Change effective May 21, 2016o Added a 2016 Chevrolet with Comprehensive and Collision at $500 deductible each, Emergency Road Service and Rental Reimbursement; deleted Comprehensive and Collison, Rental Reimbursement and Emergency Road Service on the 1999 Chevrolet; adjusted the usage on the 1999 Chevrolet to 0 Days/0 Miles Annual Mileage: 15,000 o Adjusted Premium: $1447.44 o Adjusted Policy Balance: $1,120.23• Policy Change effective June 19, 2016o Deleted the 1999 Chevrolet o Adjusted Policy Premium: $1,223.73 o Adjusted Policy Balance: $709.28 • Billing Update effective August 16, 2016o Changed from the Direct Invoice 1-payment plan to the Direct Invoice 6-payment plan. The first payment on the upcoming renewal, effective October 22, 2016 through April 22, 2017, is due on September 22, 2016, to accommodate the one-month paid-in-advance status.o Current Policy Balance: $232.31 We hope that this helps to clarify Mr. [redacted]’ billing concerns. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Mr. [redacted] as part of the GEICO family.

RE: CASE NUMBER: [redacted]
COMPLAINANT: [redacted]
CLAIM NUMBER:...
[redacted]
DATE OF LOSS: December 14, 2016
COMPANY: GEICO General Insurance Company
Dear Ms. [redacted]:
Thank you for your letter dated December 23, 2016 regarding our insured [redacted].
On December 14, 2016, Mrs. [redacted] was involved in a [redacted] with another vehicle while exiting a mall parking lot. The vehicle was safe to operate from the scene and an inspection was scheduled for December 19, 2016 at 11:30am.
Mrs. [redacted] and another gentleman arrived on time for their 11:30am appointment and checked in with the front counter. Unfortunately, there was a breakdown of communication and our adjuster, James Foster, was not notified of their arrival. In the interim another appointment called and advised they had gone to the wrong location and were on their way but they may be a little late. Our claims adjuster and shop personal greeted the later appointment and handled the process as per our guidelines.
After handing off the later customer to [redacted] Rent-A-Car, James F[redacted] and Auto Damage Supervisor Matthew S[redacted] were confronted by the gentleman accompanying Mrs. [redacted]. He did not provide his name and asked if they were with GEICO. After replying yes, he stated he had been waiting for 45 minutes to be seen. It was unknown to our staff Mrs. [redacted] had been waiting. Mr. S[redacted] apologized to the gentleman, advised Mr. F[redacted] had everything he needed and he would write the estimate immediately. Mrs. [redacted]’s vehicle was inspected by Mr. F[redacted] and he wrote an estimate for the visible damages only including the replacement of the front bumper cover and a repair to the right fender.
After the inspection was complete Mr. F[redacted] presented Mrs. [redacted] with a copy of the estimate for repairs with an estimated cost of $1,228.23. As the vehicle in question has a lienholder, payment less a $1,000.00 deductible in the amount of $228.53 was issued to [redacted] and North Park [redacted]. North Park [redacted] was named as the body shop of choice by [redacted]. At the time of inspection, Mrs. [redacted] questioned the cost of repair, but accepted the estimate and the payment.
On December 20, 2016, Mrs. [redacted] sent in an internet inquiry stating she would not accept the estimate. Mr. S[redacted] attempted to contact Mrs. [redacted] unsuccessfully and left a detailed message including his contact information and a request to return his call. He did not receive a call back. Later that afternoon Mrs. [redacted] returned to [redacted], and returned the estimate and the payment to James F[redacted] and left the building.
On December 27, 2016, Mr. S[redacted] attempted to make contact with Mrs. [redacted] again and was unsuccessful. He left another detailed message explaining he would like to resolve her concerns. He offered to re-inspect the vehicle, but needed details on the body shop where the vehicle will be repaired. We still have not received a call back. After reviewing the claim notes we noticed another internet inquiry was sent in advising Mrs. [redacted]’s vehicle was being brought to a repair shop on December 27, 2016. Mr. S[redacted] then sent an e-mail to the e-mail address on file to determine Mrs. [redacted]'s repair shop information, so we can resolve any concerns regarding the repair estimate. We still have not received a reply.
We would like to acknowledge and apologize for the delay experienced by Mrs. [redacted] during the initial inspection process. We have reviewed our initial inspection photos and believe that the estimate of record is complete and accurate based upon our initial visible inspection. If additional damage is found and verified by us as being loss related we would be more than willing to review such items with Mrs. [redacted]’s repair facility of choice. Any verified additional loss related damages will be addressed on a supplement inspection. Once Mrs. [redacted] notifies us of whom she would like payment to be issued to we will reissue the payment in the amount of $228.53 and any additional supplement damages found as a two party check.
If there are any additional questions, please feel free to contact Claims Manager Kelly R[redacted] at ###-###-####.

[redacted] COMPLAINANT: [redacted] CLAIM NUMBER: [redacted] ...⇄ OF LOSS: September 28, 2015 COMPANY: Government Employees Insurance Company Dear [redacted]: This letter is in response to your correspondence dated July 20, 2016. This loss is a lane change dispute. The only evidence available to GEICO was recorded statements from both parties involved. There were no witnesses who came forward, and the police did not investigate the loss. The accident occurred on Corporate Drive near Interstate ** in Lewisville, Texas. The road is four lanes, two in each direction. The right lane ends as it approaches the highway and becomes a turn only lane. The left lane is a straight only lane. [redacted] advised he was traveling in the right lane and the other vehicle was behind him. He stated he turned on his left blinker and began to change lanes when the impact occurred. He said the other driver must have moved into the lane just before or at the same time he was changing lanes, sped up and struck the driver's side rear of his vehicle when he was in the process of changing lanes. The other driver’s version indicates he had always been traveling in the left lane. He stated he was driving forward when he saw [redacted] in a lane which became a right turn only. At that time, he advised [redacted] came into his lane causing the accident. We estimated and photographed both vehicles involved. The other driver’s damages are located on the passenger’s side front fender near the wheel-well and along the passenger side running board. The majority of damage to [redacted]’ vehicle is on the driver side near the bed of the truck and cab, not the rear as his statement indicated. The damages are not indicative of a rear-end loss as described by [redacted]. The damages suggest the other driver was next to [redacted] and [redacted] struck the other driver while he was already established in the left lane. Due to the statements given to us as well as the damages, we found [redacted] responsible for the loss and paid for the other party’s damages. GEICO advised [redacted] on October 1, 2015 of the liability decision in regard to this claim. We also spoke to [redacted] on November 16, 2015 and advised her of the liability decision as well. [redacted] contacted his adjuster on July 19, 2016. [redacted]’ call was returned on the 19th and he was advised of our liability decision. We called and left a message for [redacted] to further discuss the investigation and decision on July 20, 2016. We spoke with [redacted] on July 25, 2016 and explained our liability decision. If you have any questions, please contact Claims Manager Emily R[redacted] at ###-###-####. Sincerely, Paul M[redacted] Assistant Vice President

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I have had Geico for many, many years as my insurance provider. I have never had to submit any insurance claims, nor have I ever missed a payment. I have been a loyal customer and this is how I am treated?? This is totally unacceptable! It's bad enough that every time my policy renews the price goes up, through no fault of my own but because apparently the area I live in gets more and more high risk. The lack of customer service and understanding in this situation is appalling. I will be changing to a different insurance carrier as soon as possible, the fact that they are willing to lose a long time customer over a $20 fee speaks volumes, and I will be informing many people about the way I've been mistreated by Geico.

16, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response, as you requested. On November 8, 2017, the complainant’s spouse reported he was rear-ended by an unknown party on November 2, 2017, who left the scene of the accident. Our insured indicated he had not yet filed a police report. We informed our insured that he did not have collision coverage on his policy, and his uninsured motorist property damage coverage required he report a hit-and-run accident to police within 24 hours of the occurrence.Our insured said a police officer informed him that he had 10 days to file a police report, and also indicated he believed he obtained the unknown party’s license plate number. We agreed to conduct a license plate search to attempt to locate the owner or insurer of the vehicle. On November 10, 2017, we spoke to the complainant, and we informed her that the tag number her spouse provided appeared invalid, as it had not been active since 2003. The uninsured motorist property damage coverage in the complainant’s contract requires that the owner or operator of an uninsured motor vehicle be identified, or that the uninsured motor vehicle be identified by license plate number, for coverage to apply. Although the license plate number provided by our insured had not been in use for 14 years, and appeared to be improper, we have adjusted our decision and agreed to provide coverage for the loss. We left a voice mail message for our insureds, requesting that they contact us to arrange a vehicle inspection. We will continue our efforts to reach the consumer to appraise her vehicle and settle the claim. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Gail M[redacted] by phone at ###-###-####, by fax at ###-###-####, or by email [redacted]@geico.com.

Dear Ms. [redacted]:
Thank you for your letter of March 8, 2017 regarding the consumer’s...
claim in reference to Complaint ID [redacted].
We apologize for any failure in prompt, courteous, and efficient customer service that we aim to provide to all of our customers. The concerns regarding no contact and not returning voicemails is not within our business practices and we have provided feedback to all that have been involved with the handling of the consumer's claim.
We spoke with the consumer on March 9, 2017 and confirmed his address in order to mail him a check to repair his vehicle. On March 13, 2017, we contact the consumer to confirm payment was issued. During our discussion with the consumer, he stated he preferred the check be issued to and mailed directly to his body shop of choice. We placed a stop pay on the check that was issued on March 9, 2017 and issued a new check per the consumer’s request. We also assisted the consumer with a rental which is being direct billed to GEICO. We confirmed with the consumer that there were no further concerns or unresolved issues.
Should you have further questions, please contact Michael Q[redacted], Liability Claims Director, at ###-###-####.

RE: File Number: [redacted]
Dear Ms. [redacted]:
Thank you for your letter of July 10, 2017 regarding the...
above consumer’s claim.
On May 17, 2017, the consumer was involved in a collision loss and the loss was subsequently reported to us on May 18, 2017. On May 22, 2017, we prepared a repair estimate for the consumer’s vehicle totaling $6,517.06. We inadvertently issued a payment for the repair estimate, minus the consumer’s deductible, to the consumer’s body shop of choice, Palm Beach [redacted]. We quickly recognized this error, communicated the error to the consumer, and took action to correct the payment immediately.
Our estimate for repairs exceeded the actual cash value of the vehicle. As a result, we deemed the consumer’s vehicle to be a total loss. During our inspection of the vehicle, we were unable to obtain the vehicle’s current mileage, which is necessary to determine the vehicle’s value, due to loss of functionality from damages sustained during the collision loss. We communicated to the consumer we would attempt to gain the mileage after the vehicle was relocated to the salvage yard, where additional tools would be at our disposal. On June 1, 2017, we obtained the current mileage for the vehicle and assessed the consumer’s vehicle to have an actual cash value of $5,051.00. After applying applicable sales tax of $353.06 and taking into account the consumer’s $500 collision deductible, we reached a final settlement amount of $4,904.06 and communicated this information to the consumer.
On June 5 2017, we agreed to meet the consumer at Palm Beach [redacted] to complete the settlement process. Upon the consumer’s arrival, our adjuster was assisting another customer and the consumer advised she was not able to wait and left the shop’s office. Between June 7, 2017 and June 12, 2017, our claim file notes three attempts to contact the consumer to schedule a new date and time to complete the settlement.
We apologize our level of communication did not meet the consumer’s expectation. To date, we have not received a response from the consumer regarding settling the claim. We are happy to complete the settlement at the consumer’s earliest convenience. In addition, we will review any additional rental vehicle invoices for potential reimbursement.

February 23, 2018Dear [redacted]:This will acknowledge receipt
of your request regarding the above named insured’s private passenger
automobile policy. In [redacted]’s
correspondence to your organization she expresses concern regarding the
cancellation of her GEICO automobile insurance...
policy for non-payment of
premium and subsequent increase in premium upon reissue.GEICO’s records show that on
December 9, 2017, [redacted] and her spouse purchased a Massachusetts
automobile insurance policy and a New York automobile insurance policy. The New York policy was enrolled into GEICO’s
monthly automatic payment plan whereas the Massachusetts policy was not.On December 21, 2017, an
installment bill was sent for the Massachusetts policy advising that a payment
of $103.84 was due on January 10, 2018.
No payment was received. As a
result, a notice of cancellation for non-payment of premium was sent on January
12, 2018 advising that a payment of $87.17 would be due by February 2, 2018 to
avoid policy cancellation.[redacted] contacted GEICO
via telephone on January 16, 2018, and changed the credit card information used
for the monthly automatic payments on the New York policy. There was no payment made to the New York
policy using the new credit card information.As no payment was received,
the Massachusetts policy was cancelled on February 2, 2018 for non-payment of
premium. Per Massachusetts regulation,
the policy was reported to the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) that it had
cancelled for non-payment of premium. Please note that GEICO does not report the
cancellation of policies for non-payment of premium to any of the Credit Bureau
agencies. [redacted] contacted GEICO
via telephone on February 9, 2018 and requested a quote to reissue the
Massachusetts policy. She was offered a
quote to reissue the policy in a higher priced tier based upon GEICO’s filed
and approved underwriting guidelines. [redacted] declined GEICO’s
offer of reissue.In regards to [redacted]’s
concern that she is being penalized by having to pay for one year up front, in
Massachusetts some insurance companies may require that the customer pay the
policy premium in full if their policy with their last carrier cancelled for
non-payment of premium.Upon receipt of
correspondence from your organization, the policy was reviewed for resolution
of [redacted]’s concerns. As a matter
of good faith and excellent customer service, GEICO would like to offer to
reinstate the policy effective February 2, 2018. Barbara F[redacted] of GEICO’s Executive Office
has reached out to [redacted] on February 26th and February 27th to advise her of our offer but unfortunately our attempts to reach her have
been unsuccessful. If [redacted] would like to accept our offer she can
contact Mrs. F[redacted] at ###-###-####.It is GEICO’s position that
all proper procedures were followed in the handling of [redacted]’s policy. If you have any questions, or if GEICO can be
of any further service in this matter, please contact Barbara F[redacted] at

Dear [redacted]:
This...
will acknowledge receipt of your November 13, 2017 inquiry regarding the above referenced private passenger automobile insurance policy.
The above referenced automobile insurance policy was purchased on July 26, 2012 with a coverage effective date of July 27, 2012.
A thorough policy review has been conducted and there are no premium increases or surcharges associated with the losses referenced in the complaint. The policy is currently receiving a five year good driver discount which is only applied to policies where there is no chargeable activity. With regard to the most recent loss on October 19, 2017, liability was assessed to show each driver being 50% responsible due to conflicting statements given by the drivers involved.
Effective on renewal July 27, 2016 there was a slight increase in premium due to a symbol revision for the 2014 [redacted]. The rating symbol helps to determine the cost of Comprehensive and Collision coverage. The symbol reflects the cost of repairs, availability of parts, susceptibility to damage, and other factors that need to be reflected in the premium for the coverages that pay to repair a particular vehicle in the event of a loss. Symbols for most vehicles are in our data base and are determined by automatic symbol assignment. In some circumstances, the symbol may need to be assigned manually when there is limited loss experience data available.
Since there appears to be no valid complaint against GEICO, we ask that this be removed from our record.
If you require further assistance with this matter, please contact the undersigned at ###-###-####.

Dear [redacted]:
We are in receipt of your letter dated March 30, 2017.
The initial repairs to [redacted]’s vehicle were completed on March 7, 2017 and the vehicle was picked up on March 9, 2017. Upon picking up his vehicle, [redacted] noticed that his ** Radio was not working properly. [redacted] addressed this concern with Rick M[redacted], the manager of [redacted], who advised him that the repairs would not have damaged the antenna, but he was welcome to consult with his dealership. Mr. M[redacted] went on to advise that should the dealership be able to identify it was related to the initial repairs then [redacted] would reimburse him for the necessary repairs.
On March 28, 2017, [redacted] uploaded a repair invoice to his claim on GEICO.com from [redacted] in the amount of $417.30 for replacement of the ** antenna, noting it suffered an internal failure. He also uploaded a rental invoice for $167.67. On March 30, 2017, a GEICO supervisor spoke with [redacted] regarding the reimbursement request. On this call, [redacted] stated the XM Radio was working when he dropped the vehicle off for repairs, however it was not working when he picked up the vehicle weeks later.
Since we are unable to determine when and how the electronic failure of the ** device occurred, [redacted] and GEICO have agreed to split the amount of reimbursement to [redacted] to cover the amount of the antenna as well as the rental charges he incurred. We issued a payment of $292.49 to [redacted] on April 4, 2017. [redacted] will pay him directly for their amount.

This will acknowledge receipt of your July 21, 2015 inquiry regarding the above referenced private passenger automobile insurance policy.Our records indicate that on March 24, 2015 the above policy was established in the name of [redacted] Jr. to insure a 2001 [redacted] with a rated location of...
Wappingers Falls, NY 12590.On April 27, 2015, after a routine review was conducted by our Underwriting Department, the rated location for the above policy was adjusted to reflect a Brooklyn, NY 11211 address since our company’s findings indicate that the said location is the primary place of residency for the insured, and is therefore the primary location of our risk exposure. A letter as well as revised policy paperwork was also sent to the mailing address on file notifying the insured of the reasons for the change. A copy of the letter is enclosed.To date, GEICO has not received sufficient documentation from the insured to unequivocally prove that the Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 location is currently his primary place of residency. The submitted bank statements do not support a Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 rated location, and the insured’s paystub reflects New York City taxes. The insured was informed that the Brooklyn, NY 11211 rated location will be maintained unless unequivocal proof is provided to substantiate residency in Wappingers Falls, NY 12590.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I still have to pay a fee. None of this was explained on the initial phone call to make changes. If the representative would have informed me of the charges and the changes that would be affected by the charges, I may not would have made any changes at all, because my policy was already paid up to date and current. The representative did not inform me there was a charge to add a driver. She did not inform me, I would have to pay any charges for anything. I am very upset because I have been a loyal customer to Geico for years. AND I HAVE NEVER FILED A CLAIM!!!! I have a good driving record, as well as, a good payment history!! They chose to dishonor my loyalty by adding unnecessary charges to my account. I could understand if a claim was filed when I added a driver or something happened during those days. But to be honest, the reason I removed the additions was because they wanted me to pay $710.00 by July 31st. That's a lot of money for one month. That is why I called back to have the policy changed. I found a company that was willing to take monthly payments on my new truck. If that was the policy to charge me per day, a set amount should have been established at the beginning to the conversation with the representative so that I would know all charges up front. Instead they just added all those misc. charges, and expect me, the customer, to pay... with no questions. That is not how you handle business!!! I will let everyone I know exactly how Geico handles business on all of my Social media pages... as well as there pages. And my vehicles will be insured with an another company that will appreciate my loyalty and good payment history.

Street NW, 10th FloorWashington, D.C. 20005-3404 Re: Complaint ID: [redacted]Dear [redacted]We received your correspondence dated December 8, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response. We attempted to contact our insured on December 12, 2017, however we have not been successful.Our insured’s policy renewed effective May 15, 2017, for a six month premium of $2,070.92. The policy included coverage for our insureds, their 2 children, and 3 vehicles. On July 21, 2017, our insured requested to delete a 2000 [redacted], decreasing the premium to $1,536.94. On August 2, 2017, our insured added a 2006 [redacted], with liability coverage only, increasing the premium to $1,825.64. We emailed policy documents to reflect each policy change. On October 12, 2017, we emailed a policy renewal offer effective November 15, 2017, for a six month premium of $2,366.25.On November 5, 2017, our insureds’ daughter contacted our towing department requesting service for the 2006 [redacted]. Unfortunately, the insured did not have Emergency Road Service coverage on the vehicle. However, our insured contacted our Service Department and added Emergency Road Service to the 2006 [redacted] for future incidents, increasing the premium to $2,380.42. Our insured advised his daughter and son had the 2006 [redacted] in Georgia where they reside while attending school. We advised our insured we would need to issue a separate policy for the 2006 [redacted] and their children since the vehicle was garaged in Georgia.Our insured stated he did not want a Georgia policy issued. We explained that it is our policy to issue a separate policy for any vehicle that will be located in a different state for more than 30 days. This is to ensure we provide adequate coverage for our insured in the state the vehicle is located. In addition, we determine rates on many factors, including the garaged location of the vehicle. The policy was reviewed by our Underwriting Department and a new policy for the 2006 [redacted] and our insured’s children was issued for Georgia for a six month premium of $3,514.40. Policy documents were emailed to our insured, as they had elected to enroll in paperless policy.We spoke to our insured on November 30, 2017, regarding the issuance of the new policy. We explained to our insured because his daughter and son had the vehicle in Georgia, a new policy was issued. We regret our insured has decided to cancel the Georgia policy, leaving a balance of $352.93 for coverages provided from November 13, 2017, to December 1, 2017, without payment. We have advised we are willing to adjust the policy cancellation date with verification of other insurance for their children and the vehicle reflecting they were insured prior to December 1, 2017. If additional information is needed, please contact Joy K[redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted]@geico.com.Sincerely,Heather M[redacted]Assistant Vice President

Heather M[redacted] Assistant Vice President April 7, 2017 [redacted] Revdex.com 1411 K. Street NW, 10th Floor Washington, D.C. 20005-3404 Re: Complaint ID: [redacted] Dear [redacted], We received your correspondence dated April 3, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response. We spoke with our insured on April 4, 2017. Our insured obtained a quote online at geico.com on March 28, 2017, and purchased a policy effective April 13, 2017, for a premium of $752.66. One of the factors we use to determine the correct rate is the driving record of the applicant and household members. We advise our applicants that we review consumer reports to confirm their reported driving history, and that the rate may change as a result. It is our process to ask for the driving history over the past five years for every active driver on the policy. Unfortunately, our insured did not disclose an accident which occurred May 23, 2014. After an underwriting review, we discovered the additional activity and updated our insured's policy accordingly, increasing the premium to $851.05. Our insured made a payment of $752.66, and the additional balance of $98.39 is due by April 15, 2017. We spoke to our insured on March 31, 2017, and April 4, 2017, and conducted an additional review of his policy and concerns. We advised that the original premium quoted did not include consideration for the undisclosed accident of May 23, 2014, involving his spouse. We truly apologize for any inconvenience our insured has experienced. The updated six month premium of $851.05 is accurate and is the most appropriate rate we can offer at this time. We hope this information is sufficient to allow you to close your file. If you have any further questions, please contact Joy K[redacted] at ###-###-#### or [redacted]@geico.com. Sincerely, Heather M[redacted] Assistant Vice President

GEICO has multiple payment plans and options available. These are referenced on the second page of each Recurring Card payment monthly installment billing notification (copy enclosed). The automatic payment plans are true monthly installment plans. The Direct Invoice monthly installment billing dates are 30 days in advance of the policy dates; therefore, this option requires a one-month paid-in-advance status. A payment must be received, before any payment plan can be updated, if the policy is in a pending nonpayment cancellation status. Mr. [redacted]’ payments were adjusted with each policy change that he requested throughout the policy period. The policy changes are noted below:• Renewal effective April 22, 2016 through October 22, 2016.o The policy was previously enrolled on the monthly Recurring Card Payment billing method.

This will acknowledge receipt of your May 18, 2016 inquiry regarding the above referenced private passenger automobile insurance policy.Our records show that a billing systems issue recently occurred on the above policy due to the high frequency of payments that were being submitted by the insured....
Our company has since resolved the matter by providing the insured with a new policy number.Since there appears to be no valid complaint against GEICO, we ask that this be removed from our record.If you require further assistance with this matter, please contact the undersigned at ###-###-####.Very truly yours,[redacted] O[redacted] Executive Office
