| Summary |
I had a false claim filed against me, I had witnesses, sworn statements, and a confession from the person’s family. Yet their claims people decided to pay the claim without looking into any of it. They said I never told them I had this info, BS! When I got the initial letter saying I was being sued I pleaded with the adjuster and the office to not give in, to look further into it and to contact me because I wanted to be at all proceedings. I told them I had statements, witnesses and family members of the accusing person saying it was a lie. They told me these things take a while but they'd get back with me. Well they got back with me all right, to tell me they paid out the claim and my policy was not being renewed, unless of course I was willing to pay the new premium which went from $700 to $2500! The claim was for $3500, that they paid out because my dog scratched a kid who was trespassing in my yard which was clearly marked "Beware of Dog". My dog was a 2 month old puppy Blue Heeler, not a mean dog. I found another Insurance company who looked at all my statements and actually talked to the witnesses, and reviewed the case, guess what? They ruled the claim false and gave me insurance for $605 a year! So in the end it actually worked out better for me but not without a lot of undue stress. They wouldn't even insure my garage, unless I paid them more money, which the new company has no problem with insuring with no extra costs. And the new company I got is a lot more reputable and truly "Nationwide". I'm going to tell this story to everyone I know to steer them away from nationwide, whose motto is " Nationwide is on your side", but should add "Unless you have a claim because we could care less if it's false or not, we got more important things to deal with." All I can go on is my experience, and if I could've gave them a lower rating than 1 star I would've |
