Jackie of Philadelphia, PA July 2, 2009 I was in a car accident in april 2009. I was hit by another driver who also had Nationwide but he had very limited insurance. Come to find out, after i was rushed to the hospital and still continuing therapy today, that I cannot sue for pain or suffering due to the fact of me having limited liability, but, when i bought my car back in 2005, the guy who sold me the car called his "friend" from Nationwide and signed me up without physically talking to the agent, or me, and what coverage I wanted. I was 21 at the time. i had no clue on what any coverage was about, nor did i know what limited or full tort was. All I remember was the dealer giving me papers and saying" sign here for coverage and your good to take the car today!!" Well nobody talked to me from Nationwide to explain the diffrernt coverages and gave me the least expenseive, least coverage on myself, and now I'm screwd. As far as I know, they just wanted to get paid and took advantage of me because I was a 21 year old female. Yes I did sign the papers for limited, but this was thrown at me, and pushed me out the door, so they could just get a fast sale. Please, if you read this, dont be scammed by Nationwide. You should speak to someone about coverages, and know what limited, and full tort is. Oh,Not only that, they low balled me on my totaled car, and refused any recepits to prove the cars value. And, they took 2 months to send me my check, and only gave me a rental for 3 1/2 weeks. I had to take a bus to my therapy, and when I finally got the check after paying my loan off on the other car, I only had 2k for a new car. I could seriously go on more about this company, but I'm just getting upset. Cherye of Sweetwater, TN June 29, 2009 My vehicle was hit by a Nationwide Insurer. The car was fixed, a rental car was provided but when it came to diminished value, they gave me only 1500.00. My vehicle was in MINT condition. If I was given the choice of a wrecked vehicle or a mint condition vehicle, I would pay more for the mint condition one. It is on CarFax as a damaged. James of Covington, KY June 14, 2009 In late July, 2008, an automobile forced another automobile into my parked truck, which I was away from at the time. My car was driveable at the time but when I started it up, the ABS light came on. I did not know what an ABS light was until the body shop explained it to me. The body shop repaired everything except the ABS sensor, which they were not equipped to do. They told me to take it to my dealership to have it repaired. I took it to the dealership and they fixed it, but neglected to tell me that the accident was not the cause of its damage. The right front tire where the sensor is located was heavily damaged,so I don't know how they arrived at their conclusion which I did not find out about until May, 2009. After repeated calls to my agent at Nationwide, he kept giving me the run-around for the next nine months. In fact, he wanted me to do the leg work for him. Finally, on May 13, 2008 I get a legal recovery letter from Nationwide stating that I would not receive money for having the sensor repaired, no money for out of pocket expenses for car rental, and no money in getting my deductible back. I have been with Nationwide Insurance and the agent for twenty-five years, in which I have had very, very, few claims on the two policies I had with Nationwide,--auto and homeowners. I paid all my policies on time and usually at six months to a year at a time. This agent was too lazy to undertake the leg work to get pictures of the accident taken when the accident occurred, or to visit the dealership where the sensor was fixed. In fact, the agent put me off when I told him that I needed more insurance to cover the house since he had not done an appraisal in the past twenty-five years! Do not believe for one second that Nationwide is on your side!!! Their commercials are absolute disgusting and untruthful. I was with Nationwide for twenty-five years and was treated like this. How do they treat customers with less time with them? Most assuredly, not too well! Do not buy insurance from Nationwide! michael of phila, PA June 2, 2009 I have been a loyal customer of nationwide ins.20 plus years without a claim of any kind.. My insurance lapsed due to an insight, I paid it ASAP , when it was brought to my attention, then without any warning nationwide said since my insurance lapsed I lose all my benfits.. This means my policy was raised about 500.00 dollars.. I spoke to a Mr. M, explained the whole story to him, he sent me a letter basically detailing what I said here.. But did say that my insurance would be the new price, after many phone calls to him, which he did not answer.. I,m now trying this method to be heard.. Kimberly of Coatesville, PA May 21, 2009 I had a car accident hitting a deer in November of 2007. I (stupidly) took my car to a "blue ribbon" shop which means the work is guarenteed for the life of the car. When I got the car back about a month later the paint began to chip off the front. I called Nationwide and they simply said contact the shop. I never got a chance to do this and in December of 2008 I slid on ice and hit a parked car. It did lots of damage to the front of my car. I took it to another auto body shop and they called me to let me know there was A LOT of work that wasn't fully completed during the previous accident and he was able to tell that there was another accident and that things weren't done. The main thing he was concerned about is that they glued my radiator together and he wasn't even comfortable re-gluing it. So I called Nationwide (this is guarenteed work and there is no reason why they should have just glued it!) and if this new shop reglues it, it will no longer be under this life-time guarentee. I get the run around. The guy I called is telling me, I wasn't the one who looked at your car, and how do we know it was during this other accident that is was glued. I told him, I don't really have people going around gluing my car! UNREAL. I plan to continue this rampage as far as I can. SO basically DO NOT do BLUE RIBBONS. And forget Nationwide - with their accident forgiveness. INSURANCE COMPANIES - we are paying you for accidents, not for nothing. Miss of Savannah, GA April 27, 2009 My car was stolen 12/5/08.I did everything I reported it.And the adjuster Carolas Irizzary send me papers to sign power of attorney.I did he even had me to go to police headquarters and sign release paper for them to pick up the car.They said they found the car I sign release papers at the police headquarters,did the investigator send me a letter to bring couples of my bank accounts and w2 forms from the year of 2007 2008.And current income papers and my phone records.I couldnot bring anyone with me,the investigastor came out to myhome 12/23/08.Stated they got a call on the tip line I had my car stolen and I paid to have it stolen.And that I was own ssi I donot receive ssi I donot work but I'am a single mother of two.What I receive is none of his business. I took the release papers to a lawyer to look at that I sign and he said that was not my car nationwide said they found.Because there are no vin numbers on release papers.They are a crooked insurance company,they do not want to pay for my car.The investigator do not need to see my bank statements etc..I could not afford a lawyer to handle this the one that look at the release papers told me not to go.It's a lineholder on the car and the company will adventually sue nationwide.They are all on T.V.with that slogan Nationwide on your side they are not on anybody's side but their own.Everyone needs to be aware of them they are crooked.
