I like having all my insurance with one company, so we had Farmers ins. for 35 years. But the service got worse and worse and the rates just kept climbing especially on our cars. When we sold one home and bought another in 2003, I had just paid a year’s premium the end of April. We closed on our home in June and I applied for a refund. Keep in mind that our previous home had only been insured for 45 days of the yearly premium. When I finally got a refund, (and I had to fight for that), the company kept almost half the annual premium…for 45 days coverage!

Chase credit cards; DON’T GIVE CHASE YOUR BUSINESS!!!!!!

I had 2 cards from Chase for 15 years, and always paid them on time, over the minimum amount, yet when I divorced they arbitrarily raised my interest rate from 10% to 28.99%, even as the Fed dropped the prime rate!!!! I have 2 other credit cards, Amex and Citibank, and niether of them raised my rates when I became single again.

I called and tried to get Chase to lower the rate. They refused, saying that they reserved the right to raise the rates at will. I cancelled the cards. One of my Chase cards already had a zero balance when I cancelled the cards.

We had Wawa for our home and all of our autos. Then our teen started driving. At first, while she was on a learners permit, she was excluded from our cars. No problem, as she used the schools car anyways! She practiced with a parent for a year. A few months after she got her license, we got her a car for Christmas. We called Wawa and told them, we know she’s excluded from our cars, so we got her her own car. Please insure her on it. They stated it would be under our insurance still, as she was not quite 18. When she was 18, she could apply on her own. “But she’s covered, right”? “YES, but only on her car”.
