    If in a car wreck and you have to deal with them, my advice is to get legal help. They only pay half of what it costs to fix your vehicle. My son got hit in the rear of his truck at a red light and he got an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it and ALFA only offers half of what the estimate he got. Get legal help before you accept their offer. Just my advice. Take it or leave it. Just don't trust no one.

    October 7th, 2015, Alfa Vision policy holder's 17 yr old driver with expired driver's permit took mother's car and proceeded to cut into oncoming traffic, crossing double yellow line and plowed into my daughter's Volkswagen Jetta totaling it as well as caused injuries to her as our girl was going to school. Police report had Alfa's driver failure to yield as well as expired permit and without accompanying driver since she was on learner's permit.

    Before our daughter was even out of urgent care Alfa's client tried to put a claim against our State Farm policy and blame accident on our legally licensed and insured daughter. Naturally State Farm denied them and told them it was 100% on Alfa's at fault illegal driver. So initially all we expect was to have daughter's car which Alfa's adjuster totaled out because both airbags blew and collision damages added up to over $6000 dollars at which point was more than 75% of car's value which in state of Kentucky car is declared totaled at the 75% threshold.

    We got claim # and after adjuster sent them his report, we sent Ms. Blanca ** police report and Alpha's driver's info and all we got was a letter a few days later from Ms. ** saying she was investigating and we were REQUIRED TO MITIGATE OUR EXPENSES IN REGARDS TO STORAGE FEES, etc. in big, bold letters. Daughter has no rental for school or work transportation. Her medical claims are under our State Farm PIP coverage with all her medical bills.

    After month and a half of not answering repeated messages and queries from us to Ms. **, we get message finally to call her as she had result concerning our property damages. Dozens of calls to Alfa claims and Ms. ** and all we get is automated system and can't get returned call. So on and on we go. This is the worst service we have ever encountered. Like pulling teeth! If we have no answers and satisfaction by Monday 23rd, 2015, we have no choice but let an attorney take over and file lawsuit against their driver and policy or whatever options are available as last resort.

    The city won't let vehicle sit in our driveway and we're not paying for storage till Alfa takes possession to junk it or auction or whatever. We fully expect to seek recovery for rental and transportation for daughter who has been harmed as well when this was what should have been simple recovery and payment for book value of our vehicle loss which is like $2800..00 but I think we're well past that point now. Thankful we have been with State Farm for all the last 20+ years. They treat you like family and yes, unlike Alfa, State Farm is there!

    Payments were set to be withdrawn from my checking account automatically. Prior to the expiration of my policy, I received a renewal notice. The notice indicated that I had to mail a payment to ALFA or my policy would lapse. Accordingly, I mailed a check to ALFA. I subsequently called ALFA to confirm they received my check. I was informed that, despite the representations made in the letter, my renewal payment would automatically be withdrawn from my checking account. As a result, I asked them to destroy the check I sent them. ALFA refused to do so thus resulting in me being double charged. I spoke with two managers about it. To justify their refusal to do what I asked, ALFA informed me that it was "too big" and had "thousands of clients." ALFA is obviously too big to care about individual policy holders. Please avoid doing business with this company.

    My auto insurance on a scale of 1-10 is about a 6. I have not been in any type of situation where I have needed them but they do continue to raise the monthly price with no explanation. I do not see why I have to pay more when I have had no accidents and I am a very safe driver. I also have never been late with a payment.

    Alfa has, by far, the best prices in my area. To be a consumer of Alfa, you have to become a member of the Alabama Farmer's Association which costs a fee of $30 per year. They have responded efficiently and compassionately each time I have ever needed to file a claim. When I have accidentally neglected my payment, Alfa has given a 30 day grace period and sent reminders so that I can quickly get the issue handled. There are many locations where I may drop off a payments if mailing is not an option. Every person I've ever dealt with at this company has treated me as an individual and with respect. They know who I am when I walk through the doors. This makes me really feel like a member rather than a customer.

    I have been an insured driver for over 43 years. I had a single moving violation back in 1979. I have never filed a claim. Every premium has been paid on time. Thousands and thousands of dollars. More than enough money to buy a new car several times over. Premiums get raised due to no fault of mine. Natural disasters, other irresponsible drivers, actuary tables, demographic adjustments. Insurance company executives, board members, shareholders, all make money from me. No insurance company has ever done anything for me except take my money.

So I got a letter telling me because my claims under 90 days and my ticket that I told them about prior to signing is the reason this company dropped me.

    I have been with Alfa's Daniel Stickler agency in Macon for only three months. In that time they could not figure out how to get my billing straight. First month I was called because they couldn't draft my account because the agent didn't have my account information and entered it late even though I gave it to her twice. I had to give her my credit card. Second month got a call on the 15th they still couldn't draft from my account because of an unknown and unexplained reason, had to give them my credit card once again. They assured me moving forward I wouldn't have anymore problems.

    The next month they sent a statement overcharging me on the next draft because they charged me a late fee for their mistake. I called my agent before the draft and was assured that they would do everything possible to change the payment and if they didn't they would refund it back to my account. They didn't refund it, I was overcharged anyway and they couldn't refund it to my bank. I checked with the bank and that was totally false. When I tried to cancel the owner told me the same thing and "let me get this straight you're canceling over ten dollars", when I confirmed he said he would cancel with an angry tone and hung up on me. Awesome customer service. Beware. Run - don't walk away from this company.

    1st Incident: I had filed a claim for someone hitting my car and leaving the scene of the accident. It took Alfa 3 whole days to get me put into a rental car after my car was put in the collision shop. The adjuster (Tate **) tried everything possible to not have to pay to have my car repaired. He was so rude and his secretary would say he wasn't in the office when he actually was. The reason I know this is because I called the office before I walked into his building and the secretary said he was out of the office today. I knocked on the door while he was sitting in his office on the computer. I told the secretary that it was me that just called and she acted so dumbfounded then.

    Incident 2: Then the repair shop that worked on the vehicle had to file a claim due to them leaving the vehicle outside after completion of damages and then a hail storm came through and put dings in the car everywhere. So I had to pay another deductible out of my pocket. Incident 3: Got a bill in the mail where my policy had went up drastically and I went into the office to see why and the secretary there lied to me also. She said that it was due to a state increase but the policy started out at $635 per 6 months and went to $810 per 6 months for no apparent reason. I had made no changes to my policy at all and had no accidents at all.

    The agency has changed the annual mileage from 1000-7500 miles to 7500-12000 miles which caused the policy to go up drastically. For the record, I had not even driven over 4000 miles since I had been with the company. Then I called the corporate office and complained and still got no results. When they saw I keep up with the increases they started to get agitated and eventually told me they was not going to renew my policy. I have never seen anything like this before but want to warn other to watch for hidden fees and unknown monthly increases for no reason at all. This was the (Jake **) Alfa agency on Dawson Road in Albany, Ga. I am sure if they did it to me they have done it to several others who have not caught the problem yet.

    I have been with Alfa for many years. I also paid every payment on time but when I was involved in an accident they provided the worse customer service ever. The adjuster came out and to look at our car and really didn't consider all of damage just the minimal amount of $1500. Luckily the lady that hit our car had State Farm ins. who gave us an estimate of $2990 which would cover all our damages. Needless to say I cancelled my coverage with Alfa. Their insurance may be cheap and as they say you get what you pay for. Their customer service is cheap too.

    My bill was due on July 4th. I called their automated line to make a payment on the 4th and their automated system said payment unaccepted. I called today and informed the rep. She then 3 way called the automated system to confirm that it wouldn't accept and it didn't. She was able to put the payment through just FINE on her end. I then asked her if she could waive the 10 dollar late fee since their automated system would not accept my card. She said she didn't see why it would be a problem and placed me on hold to ask her supervisor. She got back on the line and said she would not be able to waive it. I was confused as it was not MY FAULT as to why the automated system wouldn't accept it. She said I had other options of paying. I tried to pay it online and it wouldn't take it online either. She apologized and said there was nothing she could do. I asked for a supervisor.

    The supervisor said I could have gone to my agent to pay or mailed something in. At this point I was at a loss for words as they basically want me to bend over backwards because of THEIR faulty system. So I asked to speak to HER superior and I calmly but frustratedly explained the situation and said I had been on the phone for a half hour and was shocked at the service I had been receiving and she LAUGHED at me. This woman LAUGHED at me and proceeded to say the "unfortunately blah blah".

    I have been in customer service for 10 years and I have worked and supervised call centers. Had myself or any of my employees treated their customers the way I was treated, they would have been terminated. This company IS NOT about customer service and apparently not about the money either! You just lost a customer. Not for not waiving a 10 dollar late fee which wouldn't have occurred had YOUR end been clear, but for the way I was treated.

    This insurance company should not be in business. My car was hit by one of their clients and long story short, I ended up having to pay $350 to get my car out of the shop. They did not communicate with me on what the final estimate was nor discuss with me what they would pay for. I had to call them to set up everything from initial claim to finding a collision center. The estimator did not return my phone calls and they even admitted to me after I heard from the collision center how much I owed out of my pocket that they should have contacted me after the final estimate to make sure I was in the loop. I will never recommend this company or trust anyone associated with these clowns.

    A client of Alfa rear-ended our 2014 Escape three weeks ago. Their client was speeding, on her cell phone and said, in exact words "my brakes are going out and I've been having trouble stopping". She then went on to say that she was on her way home from dropping her boyfriend off at the bar! It's not as if she's a single mom who has to get to work, she also stated she doesn't work, go figure. We've called Alfa everyday and STILL haven't heard from them. They called us one time and after we said "hello" FIVE times they hung up. We could hear background noise and the click. They were hoping for our voicemail apparently. Now, we are having our insurance handle them and are looking into reporting the company and seek legal counsel. No one was hurt, thankfully.

    We are not seeking pain and suffering, medical bills or missed work. WE WANT OUR CAR FIXED!!! We saved for a year to get it, we work full time jobs to make the payments and we take very good care of our cars. It's less than a year old and now will have a report on the car fax which will lower its value when we eventually sell or trade it in. At ages 44 and 48 we have never caused an accident and have only been hit once. That person also had a cheap rate company and they took care of the damage caused by their client within a week. ALFA IS A CRAPPY SCAM COMPANY!!! Pray you never have to deal with them. Alfa, if you're reading this, then understand that our Ford dealer will fix the Escape, and a rental will be the equivalent of an Escape! If you don't like that then you can go after YOUR client.

    Alfa's client hit my car in December. I wasn't even in the vehicle when it was hit, so it was a clear black and white incident. When I got the estimate from their adjuster, **, it was way below estimated damage. I didn't cash the check, just brought it to the body shop to get repaired and proceeded to rent a vehicle to get to and from work. The body shop contacted me after a few days stating that Alfa now refused to pay for the damage because there was a preexisting nick on the opposite side that they weren't responsible for. It was explained that in order to properly fix the damage on the bumper, the paint had to be blended all around, otherwise, it would be spotty work. However, the car sat in the shop because ** did not communicate that he would take care of the damage owed.

    The rental company, Enterprise, also contacted me stated that Alfa refused to pay the duration of my rental, leaving me with a $191.64 charge that I was held accountable for since it was in my name. On top of that, **, refused to communicate properly and literally sent me into an anxiety attack in which I had to call off work and lose funds. I eventually had to get my insurance company to handle the dispute at the risk of possibly raising my premium, and since I'm not signed up for rental insurance, I am still left responsible for the rental charge. I have never in my life experienced such consumer fraud and believed I was targeted for being a single female in which they underestimated would fight back. I am over my anxiety now and am only left with time and anger. I will fight this in every way I can. It's not fair and it's not right that Alfa tries to nickel and dime to avoid a complete repair.

    In the past, when I've ever been involved in any type of accident, the law enforcement determines who's at fault and the faulty insurance company takes care of it on EVERY level. Apparently, this has been a major issue with Alfa, and I know for a fact that they will go out of business because of their horrible lack of morals and service. I will prevail with the help of God by my side and this matter will be settled once and for all. With Him, all things are possible.

    I was rear-ended by a customer of Alfa on 2/1/15. The driver was not licensed (was informed the guy was revoked), the road conditions very slippery due to ice. The driver was traveling too fast for conditions to top it off. I was at a stop light waiting to turn. The guy plowed into my car's rear bumper. Because I was told the guy didn't have insurance, so I brought my car to my insurance company's preferred vendor. They did a report. I later got a call from my insurance company (USAA) stating they found coverage on the car. Still don't know if it was someone else's and the guy was just using the car. Either way, my company paid "ALL" my medical bills, but Alfa was to cover my car. I called them and was told by ** that she would send their estimator. He finally showed up and told me Alfa would send me the repair cost estimate.

    When I called them, ** told me she would send me a check so I could get my car fixed. I brought my car to Ford as they offered lifetime repair. My car sat on their lot for 4 or 5 days waiting for Alfa to send the check! ** called the car rental company which in turn called me. ALFA authorized $15 a day for the rental which only got me a subcompact! I am 6'6", there was no way I could fit into the rental. So I had to drive around my beat-up pickup truck which is used to bring garbage to the dump. It cost me a fortune in diesel. Then ** offer me around $625 inconvenience fee. I was brought to the hospital because I have a spinal stimulator implanted in my spine.

    When Alfa found out I had degenerative arthritis, I heard her elation in her voice! I could almost hear her thoughts of 'goody I don't have to pay this guy anything'. To top it off, my 2014 Escape is now listed on Carfax as being rear-ended. The value dropped immediately by $2000 according to several car lots I went to. Since the last time I spoke with ALFA, I have sent numerous emails, called and left messages and have yet to be called. When I finally called their main number, they said my record states that they tried calling me at my number once and was disconnected! What a bunch of crude! My wife, kids and friends call me every day with no problems.

    Yesterday, I finally got an email from ** stating that my case was reassigned. She gave me the number of the lady and the number was for a different company! Avoid this company! Don't deal with them, call an attorney before dealing with them. They do their best to make you give up so they don't have to pay you.

    The employees at this company will act nice to your face, & run you dry of money & take $$$ from your account months after you cancel with them. They do not have it together at all. Do not be fooled. As I said, they will act nice to your face, but who wouldn't? That is scamming you out of hundreds per month just for insurance. I had ALL insurances through them. When anything happens to you that is not remotely beneficial to them $ wise, they will do anything to save a dime rather than help.

    Please do not be fooled & go with someone much more legitimate. Many, many years ago, back when my granddad was young, they were a decent legit company, now they are too caught up in themselves & the dollar & don't care who they hurt along the way. I am beyond disappointed in this company as a whole. Again, they are far from the company they were when they first began business. Just please take your business elsewhere.

    I will start by saying at the time of my incident.... I had full coverage Comp and collision with towing and rental coverage with ALFA. I was involved in a no fault incident on 12/22/2014 approx 0615 am ...to avoid hitting a deer at 50 mph I swerved my vehicle to the right, hitting a curb and later discovering it caused approx $1600 damage to my right front tire area. At the time of the incident I thought I only had a blow out, no body damage noted to my car, so I called a friend (who's a certified mechanic with UPS) to come out and changed the tire and drove my vehicle home. I had no idea the amount of damage that was done to my vehicle, had no idea I would have to file a insurance claim until after my friend noticed smoke coming from the right front tire area.

    So he removed the tire and was trying to see if there was something on fire, this is when he realized the impact caused damage to my lower control arm and ball joint was bent and damaged, causing the inner part of my tire to rub while driving and the friction was causing the smoke. He then told me I needed to file a claim with my insurance company because the damage was probably extensive, and this is where my nightmare begin!!!! I waited until 0800 CST to call so I could file a claim, I filed a claim and was told an adjuster would be out to get a estimate of my vehicle. Several hours later I received a call from a 3rd party company saying that they would have someone out on 12/24/14. I pretty much begged for them to come out earlier because my car was not drive able and I had no other means of transportation.

    They agreed to have someone come out on the 12/23/14, in which a non professional looking young lady came out in her personal vehicle with another young lady in her car and 2 children in the back seat and proceeded to take pics with her personal cell phone. She informed me that she was not an adjuster she only worked for this 3rd party company that only took pics and forward them to Alfa's adjuster. Well that's exactly what happened....a couple hours later I received an estimate for $530 for front end balance, alignment, and 2 rims for my vehicle. I immediately called my claims adjuster N. ** that told me according to C. ** estimate the only reason my car was not drive able was because the parts were removed. They originally denied a rental car until I had to get out of character in order for them to do so. It was a act of Congress doing that because it was close to Christmas and there was very little staff on duty.

    I was then informed to get a supplemental estimate in which I had my car towed to a auto body repair shop because Alfa did not offer a recommended shop, and the estimate @ approx $1150 confirmed what my friend had told me. They later denied the claim stating the BENT lower control arm and ball joints were damaged from wear and tear and not impact. I was told I could get another supplemental estimate...by this time in early 1/2015 I was starting to feel like I was getting the run around and I filed a complaint with Georgia Insurance commissioner's office and continued to beg and plead to have my car repaired!!! I spoke with N. ** on 1/9/2015 and she told me I needed to have the 2nd supplemental estimate done and before they could authorize anything else on this claim I informed her I didn't have the funds to pay out of pocket to have my car towed.

    I had lost days at work being a home health nurse and having no transportation!! I was told nothing could be done until I had that estimate done. I had a mobile auto repair come out to give me a estimate on repairs and based on the damages he would decide if he would tow my car and the day of this estimate 1/12/15 N. ** called me and then informed me that they would send out an adjuster to do a estimate. In the end I have 3 different estimates from independent auto repair shops stating damage to my lower control arm and ball joint, tire damage, and 2 estimates from alfa insurance stating otherwise. Alfa insurance is a RIP OFF, I think their tactic is to get you frustrated so you will give up!! They do not value or respect their customer at all. I wouldn't recommend their insurance and would advise anyone to avoid them like a plague. I will pursue this in the courts!!

I could not access the app on my smartphone I was having issues with that. I contacted I assume at the main office and asked about 24-hour service. She promptly told me about ID cards mailed out, print off the website, etc. and also access ALFA2GO. I understand all of this and told her in the beginning. If you are shopping for ALFA keep in mind you better have all your business and any other problems done before 5 pm, because no one is there to help you after hours.

Now I am looking at a $580.00 car rental fee and in Indiana the people are not protected. I was told they don't have to supply a car even if you need one, it's up to you to find a ride.

In short he said they weren't covering my claim because my wife's car has collision and that would make me liable for the coverage. I told him I rented the car not my wife and my insurance covered it and even if it didn't my truck hit hers and should pay.

    I previously was in an accident on December of 2013 where I was coming home from work and it was raining when my vehicle hydroplaned and spun off the road and hit a ditch - no other vehicles were involved! I then contacted my Alfa agency to file a claim, had one of their adjusters come out and take pictures of the car, which had serious front end damage! Took to a body shop of our choice which we were allowed to do, but we never could get a hold of the guy with Alfa. Took several weeks for the guy to come to get estimates of the car, and then when they came out never fully looked the car over and told sent me a check for only $1900 worth of damage. So while the guy tried to fix the car, I got it back 2 months later and it still wasn't fixed properly!

    We had enough. We finally sent it to another body shop b/c the other guy wasn't doing his job! It wasn't until we got it to the highly recommended body shop that we realized we had been scammed b/c we then found out that the car had over $11,000 worth of damage and should have been totaled, but Alfa didn't do that b/c they didn't want to fork out that money. So then they decide that my car had previous damage done to prior to my accident and they weren't gonna pay all the money for that certain part.

    Well now they are only gonna pay $6800 and that's all and I have to come up with the other $4200! We are going to sue this company, and our attorney says we have a case, but the legal fees will still cost us 4000 dollars and we just don't have the money for that, so hopefully we can figure out what to do here! This company is a scam and should be shut down. They are rude, inconsiderate scam artists who should not be in business!!! Their website has all good reviews, but people don't be fooled.

They offered us double what Alfa said the car was valued at and no prior damage was deducted. After 7 days battling with Alfa, my insurance with one phone call took care of the whole thing.

    April 10, 2013, I had a no fault accident. I have a police report, proof and a witness at the time of the no-fault accident. I was in the process of losing my home with a income of only $5000 per year with my policy premium paid up to date. I stopped at a friend store who recently lost his wife & since I know a little bit about the Bible non license I was discussing how the gentleman would see his wife again by God's word when a car hit my parked car sending it through the front of Mr. Abe's Shoe store. The defendant had no insurance and no money. I had uninsured motorist. I fit firmly in the criteria of Alfa Insurance coverage rules but Alfa denied my claim saying I was doing business.

    What am I - a Pakistani businessman with only $5000 a year income. I was doing no business and have ample evidence to prove that Alfa knew I had no money and no place to stay so they figured it's like taking candy from a baby. Well, this baby got teeth. Next I could not find a attorney to take the case. When I found 2 attorneys who looked the evidence over from pro bono a great place for the poor, the attorneys said, "This is amazing. This case you have put together is 99% winnable and we would be honored to defend this 99% winnable case."

    The next day, the attorney called me back and said they could not take the case. It would conflict with their company corporate based decision. Remember a 99% winnable case. Finals court date is Thursday, June 12, 2014. Even with all my evidence and no attorney by default, this company must make me whole April 10, 2013 in a reasonable amount of time and they did not yet even as far as June 2014.

    I am afraid there may be no justice even with 100% evidence now. The other day Mike at Alfa Insurance said they were ready to settle for nowhere close to what it should have been and I said, "Great." I need this stress out my hair & God blessed with another car that I was paying for monthly but over the year I have watched this crafty conduct of this insurance company so I said to Mike at Alfa no trickery in the paper and when I got to his office, they stuck a check in my face and said sign the release where it was very obvious they added a clause that plaintiff Mr. ** releases Alfa Insurance of everything but Alfa Insurance can come back at anytime and have Mr. ** do whatever Alfa Insurance demands. This does not mean that any party plaintiff Mr. ** is guilty. Sign here and take your check.

    This is a travesty of justice and I still expect no justice. Consumer Affairs, BBB, Insurance Commissioners, the United State Government, when will you start protecting the American public from such predatory companies? To the American Public, I say purchase this insurance at your own risk and if you have a claim they will force you to sue and wait/stress you out to give you nothing. I will go to court and I pray Jehovah God will go with me and defend his loyal one. Whatever God expects me to respect the Judge ruling and I always obey. Be peaceful everybody and trust God. I do!

Alfa.. well we ended up buying a newer vehicle and obviously had to have full coverage but Alfa refused to add me or give us a quote on what it would be so we decided to get a difference insurance. This was on February 14, 2014, since then we have tried 4 times to cancel his policy and sent them all the papers they requested but we still are being told they don't have everything. We set up direct withdrawal because it was cheaper... That was the worst thing I have ever done because now unless I jump through hoops and fill out who knows what else in paperwork (so far I have done everything they asked and still been told not enough) they are going to keep taking money.

    We have never had a claim or anything and I am sure if the money wasn't their to take they would cancel the insurance without contacting me. Any other company I can call give an account number, birth date, ssn and take care of everything by phone but this company uses we need proof, yet you don't let me mail you anything because you don't tell me an address to send the paper work to. It all has to be faxed. I requested scan and email since I don't have a landline but they still say they don't have everything but won't say what else they need.

Well I got hail damage to my vehicle two weeks ago and filed a claim. The company put Jason ** as my agent in the claims department. I first received a check very fast for 214.00 and they took 500.00 for deductibles. Then I took my car to a place near my home. The body shop had an estimate for 1900.00. Alfa contacted the body shop. It was a fact that the body shop did not do paint less dent repair. So Jason tells me to take my car elsewhere or pay the difference out of my own pocket. So I contacted a paint less dent repair shop and estimates were nearly a match to the other body shops estimate.

    They sent their appraiser back out to the new body shops place and the shop owner asked him how he came up the estimate. He never said a word. Not even to me or my husband just being rude. So after I called today they tell the supplement was approved. I go and talk to the body shop and the man tells me he rather do no business with that company because it's just too much mess. I found out the money their sending is just for the body it won't repair all of my truck.. They're saying that they're being there for the customer, but they're not.

    On March 6th at approx. 1730 I was involved in a car crash with my 2011 Subaru Legacy. I was rear ended by a vehicle that was insured by ALFA... ALFA didn't contact me until 3 weeks AFTER the crash. I spoke with a guy named Emillio & he said that someone would be over to inspect my vehicle for damages & give me an estimate. I don't remember what the adjuster's name was, but she was not pleasant. She was rude & short the entire time. I thought maybe she was having a bad day & chalked it up to stresses of the job.

    Later would I find out that all of ALFA's employees would demonstrate the same attitude. Emillio called me the next day to tell me that the adjuster had made an estimate of $346.00. I expressed my disbelief in this estimate as I had previously had my car estimated by a Subaru Collision Center & their estimate was $550.00. I told Emillio that the estimate was not accurate & that I would like this estimate to be reconsidered by a different employee. Emillio then had the audacity to claim that I was in a previous accident prior & that the damages were not consistent.

    I then urged Emillio to look up my vehicle on any car crash site/police report whatever it was to prove that I in fact was NEVER in a previous accident. He then said, "Well, how do you explain the damages? Were you even in a car accident?" I quickly stopped the conversation at that point & demanded to speak to a "manager". I was transferred to a voice mail of "Tim **". I left a message stating my claim & asked him to call me back. He called me back about an hour later & would NOT let me get a word in edgewise! I explained (well, TRIED to) my situation & was immediately met with an "I'm not sending nor am I paying for another adjuster to come out there & look at your car again. Either you take the money or you get nothing. This is what was given as an estimate and that's it." The last thing I said to him was that I would be taking him to court.

    This company tried to insinuate that I was lying about the damages. They low-balled the estimate & told me that I would have to make up for the difference should I decided to get the repairs done at Subaru. I suggested sending them the pictures that I have from the accident PROVING that the damages were made at the time of the accident & requested an e-mail address to send them to. This request was denied by Emillio. This company is a fraud & they get their jollies from scamming other victims (and from I've been reading online of their reviews, they also screw their clients as well). The employees that work for this company are rude, unprofessional & nasty. Their customer service is atrocious along with their "management."

    Sadly I currently have Alfa and was in an accident that was my fault. Every single staff member was extremely slow to respond. My accident was almost about 1 month ago and I am finally getting my car to the repair shop in three days. To add fuel to the fire, Alfa claims that paint chips from "road rash" (as they call it) makes them only responsible for paying 80% of the bumper. Which means if you have ever driven your car on a road then you will be liable to pay for some of the accident above and beyond your deductible. This was also the case for my fender, but there was a dent in that so if I have to pay for previous damage for something that they will already replace then I have no argument here. Be warned that you will pay a lot more than just your deductible with Alfa Insurance.

To top it off, they dishonestly calculated my vehicle's value. I asked how it was determined, and had to request to see the report several times before it was emailed to me. Imagine my surprise to find that they listed my vehicle's mileage as "UNKNOWN". I asked them to re-do the report, and it turns out my vehicle was worth $900 more than they first gave me. They sent another check for the difference, which I would have never received had I not been diligent. I would not insure my vehicles with them if they paid me.

    Alfa stated that I pulled out in front of other driver. That was not true - my passenger was my conscious witness and he stated that we were on a straight way and was hit head-on. All the damage to our van was in the front where the radiator was. The other driver had no insurance and was ticketed for this and for failing to have correct address on license. I did not receive a ticket. Alfa gained Donald **’s signed release. He received a 25,000 check from them. I was never approached for the same and was told that I was at fault and would not be eligible for a settlement. The other driver was compensated and her vehicle was repaired. I had to have total knee replacement but Alfa did not offer to pay one red cent towards medical expenses. I have gotten the runaround for nearly 7 years regarding this wreck!!!!! Crooks and creeps.

    I was driving on I-75.There was routine merging traffic. I was clearly hit from behind by a van. A tractor trailer bumped his van after he hit my car. It was a total loss. Alfa's client never reported the accident. He seemed to have trouble speaking English. They used this to delay my claim. They said an unknown driver struck his Van and it went into my vehicle and they took off. They wanted my insurance to pay an uninsured motorist claim and denied my obvious claim with a solid police report. I am out $5500 that I spent for a similar used car. If my insurer will not pay, I will have to go to small claims court. Our laws encourage insurance adjusters to commit fraud. I went to their boss and they said, "Sue me." What a scammer.

No one came to his aid. To make matters worse, after we had buried him, I placed a claim with Alfa and they said their investigation revealed that my son must have run into traffic and committed suicide!

    In October 2012 I had full coverage insurance on my car. I gave my daughter permission to use it. Needless to say, she got involved in an accident on back road with a truck that had a float and bobcat on it, and was stopped over in the wrong lane. It had no working signals or lights. After waiting and waiting for the vehicle to move, my daughter went around the vehicle and they decided they would move also. My car got slammed in driver's door, mirror ripped off, damages over $2,000. The truck is less than $500. The driver of the truck got 2 tickets. My daughter got a citation to change her license address. I called Alfa the next day and filed a claim. I had a smart mouthed representative who acted so unprofessional, very rude. He took statements from me and my daughter about the accident and her living situation, whether she lived at home, which I thought was none of his concern.

    Two weeks later, someone came and took pics of damage. I waited 4 weeks and still no answer. I called the representative countless times and left messages. He didn't return the calls. Finally I had enough. I sent him an email and let him know it had been 6 weeks with no answer. The representative did call and informed me that my vehicle wasn't covered because my daughter lived at home and she had to be listed on my policy to be covered. What a ripoff company. After paying them for years, that is their excuse to deny the claim. I highly do not recommend them. If you have them, look elsewhere.

    My son had an accident in my car. He and a passenger were approaching a green light and about to go through, when a lady ran the light on the other side. He could not stop in time and he hit her. Her side had two lanes of traffic already stopped and she came around like she was going to turn right on red, but came straight through the light instead. I work close by and was there within minutes. My son asked her if she was okay. She said yes and told him that she was sorry. After I checked on my son, I went around and asked her if she was okay. She said yes and apologized to me as well. The police report clearly says that it was her fault and lists that she failed the traffic light. It also states that this was no fault of my son. But because she told her insurance company that she had a yellow light, Alfa Vision is refusing to pay for the repairs and never gave us a rental.

    The representative was the worst, smart mouth punk that I and my son have ever dealt with. They do not have a good reputation and the body shop didn't want to take my car unless I filed it with my insurance company because he refuses to deal with them.

    My son was involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist whose car was impounded. The officer said he could not determine who was at fault so neither driver received a ticket for the accident. Alfa said they decided that my son was at fault and refused to allow the accident be covered under an Uninsured Motorist claim even though we paid for it and she was uninsured. They even tried to say that my son gave a recorded statement saying he was at fault, but when they sent me a copy of the transcript after I demanded it, he said she was at fault and gave specific details.

    Alfa dragged its feet on paying for the damages (hiring a small outsourced one-person shop that the body shop said they always use because he charges half of what the others do) for six weeks until the car was finally fixed. So instead of paying a $250 deductible, we had to pay a $1,000 deductible and they refused to pay for all the damages citing various vague reasons. After complaining to both the adjuster, the manager and sending a letter to the president of Alfa, nothing changed. Bottom line, beware of Alfa! Do not buy insurance from this cheap, poorly run, no customer service company.

    I got full coverage insurance on my car and recently, while I was at Walmart late one night, someone had damaged my car in several places and cracked my windshield. The next day, I called my insurance company and they said they would take care of it since it was covered because I had full coverage. I was like, "Great! When can I get my car fixed?" They sent an adjuster out and he took all these pics and blah, blah, blah. This has been a little over 5 weeks ago. I never heard anything.

    I have called, according to my cell phone log, 84 times not counting the times I used my home phone. I never could get to talk to anyone. Finally, someone called me back stating the crack in the windshield was a stress crack so they would not pay for it. Then he told me the light that was busted wasn't covered either nor was my fender. I was like, "Okay, what is covered on full coverage?" He said, "Well, everything." I said, "Why is my car not being fixed then?" He said, "Oh, we just have to get a revised estimate." The crack plainly shows a point of impact on it and I researched stress cracks and it says that it's just a crack. Well, on my windshield you can see where it was hit and I called and left them a message stating that. But of course, I didn't get to speak to anyone. I had to leave message.

    Lo and behold, I got a call today saying they were going to cut me a check for $108.02. Seriously, what kind of repair is that going to cover? Please do not use this company.

The left turn light engaged green and he gunned it into the rear of my vehicle. My car is a small Honda Accord. Alfa-insured's vehicle is a very large older model Chevy Tahoe. I was able to move my car to a bank parking lot. The insured followed me and gave me a card with a bunch of false information such as name, policy number and phone number. The only correct information he gave was his insurance company. He then fled the scene. Fortunately, I wrote his tag number down.

    I called the FHP to make an accident report. He wrote down an estimate of $100 worth of damage. I called his insurance company and got his correct information. They told me to get an estimate, which I did. The estimate was over $6,000. My frame is bent, bumper fell off, and the side of my car buckled in. My car is totaled. They recently offered me $250.

My house was on fire due to an electrical short. Ultimately, the fire did $280,000 worth of total damage. I took all of Alfa agent's recommendations and all repairs were done by said recommended contractors. It took two days before I could even get in contact with my agent. I was told he was on a hunting trip in TN and there was no one else that was in the office to help me.

    It was the weekend when the remains of Hurricane Irene were making its way through and I had half my roof completely burned through in three rooms (ceilings, too) and a large hole where the fireman had entered the attic to get to the fire that way. Needless to say, much, much more damage was done and water was actually running down the chandeliers onto the furniture below. This is absolutely the worst business agreement I have ever entered into. They made a nightmare situation exponentially worse and then cancelled my insurance.

They said our truck only retails at $8,000 which is untrue.

    The KBB value is close to $14k. We were going to keep the truck and fix it and continue our normal payments but according to them, we were not allowed. So my boyfriend is without a car and we owe $2,000 for a car we had for two days. Oh and the great thing is we got money for a rental but it will only last 5 days.

The estimate states that the bumper needs to be replaced because it was cracked in the accident and the insurance company has agreed to pay to replace bumper but nothing else, no rental vehicle or depreciation value. (This accident was clearly their client's fault.) I called the sales manager of the Honda dealership and was informed that due to the fact that the vehicle was in an accident, there is a diminished value of at least $1,500. This company refuses to allow for that and we were told by one of their employees named Jeff ** that he cannot give us money toward depreciation, because my daughter could total the car tomorrow or it could burn up in a fire. I thought this was very unprofessional of him. I notified his superior and he did nothing about it either.

    So rather than writing out my story, I'll pot the letter I sent to them and you'll get the idea.

    I would just like to express how highly dissatisfied I am with your company. My grandfather, Mr. Marion **, had a policy with your company. On Aug. 16, 2012, I was driving his car when a young girl ran a stop sign, causing me to run into her. I was not at fault and the girl takes full responsibility. Unfortunately, they were uninsured. My grandfather had been a loyal customer with you guys so he figured it would be no big deal to get taken care of. Let me tell you, these last few weeks have been a total nightmare. We've been working with a horrible, rude, arrogant representative of yours named Nathan **. He needs to change his voicemail. "If I do not call back in 24 hours, please hit 0 to go to my supervisor." Not once were we called back within 24 or even 48 hours. It took at the very least three days. Is this how you want your company to be represented?

    On the phone he was completely inconsiderate and rude. Everyone I talked to told me that all I have to do is report the accident to you guys and you guys are supposed to do the rest. Nathan ** couldn't be bothered to do so. He told me to call the insurance the other people had listed. I spent hours on the phone only to find out they weren't covered. When I call a company I'm paying good money to, I expect to be treated with respect. My second time speaking with this Nathan ** he said, "And uhh, how can I help you?" in the rudest tone. It was completely inconsiderate.

    A few days later your company sent us a later to a Mrs. Marion **. Again, are your records so bad you do not have my grandfather down as a man? My grandfather and myself also spelled my name out to your representative more than once. Instead of the correct Cheyenne **, I'm referred to as something along the lines of Shyan **. Am I yet making a point of the horrible treatment we've received? So after not doing anything for the last several weeks, your company finally sent an appraiser to look at the car. We thought that we were finally getting somewhere. We were so wrong. Your Nathan ** called my grandfather today to tell him that not only are you not going to do anything, you are dropping our policy.

    Had your company, especially this Nathan **, treated us with a little respect, it would have never led up to this email. We would have been more understanding. I hardly ever use his car, so naturally I wasn't listed as a driver. I do not have insurance because of the infrequency that I drive. I'm stunned that you are not doing anything. I'm so sorry my grandfather choose this sad excuse for a company. He left a wonderful company, Geico, to go to your company. They are a company you should look up to. When something happened, they get it done no matter what. So through all of this, telling us to figure it out, providing the poorest customer service I'd ever received and wasting our time, what exactly was my grandfather paying your company for then?

    Trust me, I will be telling everyone how horrible your service is. I have several friends with your company that know this ordeal we've gone through and that are currently looking for new providers. I do not expect a reply because apparently, that is your company motto. I halfway don't even expect anyone to read this. In a perfect world, I would get a reply with a wonderful apology and this Nathan ** to be reprimanded, if not fired as he deserves, but unfortunately, your company doesn't live up to that.

I got into my accident around August 17, 2012. It took a claims adjuster until August 31 to come and adjust the damage caused to my vehicle. During this time, I was put into a rental after sending pictures of my car's damage. After the first week and no one came back, I called the company to see why no one had showed up. They were not aware and then the claims personnel handling my claim was upset and became rude when I tried to reach them numerous times within that day to see what was going on and to make sure my rental was covered.

    It then took another week for someone to adjust the damage to my vehicle which brings us to August 31, 2012. I went through some trouble in regard to finding a proper body shop. The estimate I received was $1500 below the actual price when I did find a reputable body shop. Today is September 12, 2012 and they are currently suspending my rental because the max is $600 which was really spent on the two weeks I waited for an adjuster to come view my car. I was told that the max would run up on September 14, 2012, so in reality they are shorting me two days even after them prolonging for two weeks.

I guess the Arkansas State Police report backing up my story wasn't "worth" to be considered a statement. What a moron.

    This has been the biggest mess of all. After having an attorney type a statement, threatening to file suit if they did not provide repairs to my car, I was quickly sent to "upper powers", and my claim was processed. Their service is awful. They fixed my car at a shop of "their choosing", which did terrible work. They installed a new white back bumper on my silver car. It was not painted.

    On October 23, 2011, my car was struck by one of their clients while my car was parked. I called them the next day, and they refused to give me a rental until the adjuster came to look at my car which was 5 days later, which until then, I was paying someone to take me back and forth to work. They said that they would not reimburse me for the money I paid.

    Then, when they did give me a rental, they made me return it before I received my check for the damage done to my car which was totaled. I then had to pay someone again to take me back and forth to work for another week, which again, I had to pay for. I think this is rather ** since it was their client that hit my car while it was parked and the ** was picking up his cell phone from the floor board. And since this happened in Kentucky, the man was not cited since Kentucky is a no fault state which leaves us to ask, why does Kentucky have police officers anyway?

    A young man with a suspended license crossed over three lanes on the interstate and hit my husband, who was driving our new car. Ran him off the interstate at 70mph. This young man's insurance carrier is Alfa. Police report was filed, indicating fault of the young man. I called my agent at Allstate, she said to contact the Alfa agent and I did. They sent me to their claims adjuster, Craig **. This guy is a hateful, unprofessional individual. When I explained that we needed to proceed and what happened he said, "Well, that's your story". I said, "No, that's what your customer admitted to and what the police report reflects". He said he would have to speak to his client. Well, it has been two weeks and Alfa has done nothing. I had to file with Allstate to get into a rental vehicle. And when my car is fixed, I do not have the $500 deductible. The Allstate claims adjuster says that the kid who hit my husband won't return his calls to take a statement. Craig ** will not attempt to speak to his customer either. We will be getting a lawyer.

    I separated from my wife in April of 2011. When I separated, I emailed Robbie ** who was our insurance agent and wife's cousin, and told him that I needed my policy on the vehicle I had. He told me that he couldn't separate the policies until we were divorced. He also told me that he had talked with my wife and told me to just send $66 for my share of the insurance. I sent it and she cashed them for four months.

    On august 7th, my vehicle was damaged. I sent Robbie an email about the damage. I called Robbie and he gave me the claim number. I asked him if I was covered for a rental and he couldn't tell me; he referred me to claims department. When I called them, they told me that my insurance had been dropped on August 6th, one day before my accident. I called Robbie back and he just stepped out the office. I asked for someone's higher-ups number and was referred to Jan **, Robbie's administrator. After explaining this to her, she told me that she would have to get with the underwriters and someone would call me but that was a week ago and I haven't heard anything yet. The insurance agent is the one who made this arrangement, he should have notified me when the insurance was canceled. I have copies of all emails.

    I am going to pursue whatever level is necessary to get my vehicle repaired. Robbie ** should not be allowed to sell insurance if this is how he represents ALFA. I will never use them again and I am going to pass the word.

    I have had one problem with the store that keeps repeating: always out of at least one item I need for my recipe at the time. Sometimes it's an uncommon item that I have to go to Vons for or what usually is a very common item like split green peas that they can't seem to keep in stock. I have discussed this with employees over the past year. But there is nothing they can do about it. About 4 weeks ago, when yet again this store fell short of an item I needed, I talked to the general manager which is no easy task and time-consuming. He apologized, and yet again I ended up at Vons.

    Yesterday I went in to redeem my stamps for a pan. I was told they ran out of every item and that they will have more tomorrow (today). I went back today. I asked a cashier about redeeming my stamps. She said I had to go to customer service. I went to customer service, and there was a sign that stated see the cashier. Well, to make a long story a little shorter, I was told to come back tomorrow and that they still did not have the items. At this point, I was not very happy and asked to speak to the general manager.

    15 minutes later, someone other than the general manager showed up. I went from being unhappy to being upset. Since I could not speak to the general manager, I asked for the name and telephone number of the district manager. So she gave me the name and number. Then I went home and called the district manager. Well, wouldn't you know it, it was the wrong number. I then attempted to contact Albertson's Corporate office and was given a number to customer service. I find out that Albertson doesn't even do their own customer service; they send it out to a third party.

    Now I am no longer unhappy or upset; I am pissed and only thinking at this point that Albertson's just has no respect for their customers at all, having gone from the store manager to corporate office. And now, I am also thinking of legal ways I can make Albertson's feel the sting of their anti-customer policies.

    Is there anyone who has any suggestions? I am willing to put in as much time and energy as it takes to get Albertson's to change their customer service policies to be customer-friendly.

    I am currently a policy holder with Alfa Insurance. Two weeks ago, a piece of wood flew up from the vehicle in front of me, which broke my windshield. The following day I tried to make an appointment with the local Glass America (who conference calls your insurance company to make a claim). The claim was put on hold due to lack of information somehow. For the past 2 weeks, I've been trying to contact this Kevin ** person to clear up any possible information that was left out. I live in Kentucky where there is a $0 deductible on windshield replacement. For some reason, I feel as though I'm dealing with a circus who runs me in circles time and time again with their barrages of different phone numbers that all lead to one place, a voicemail that no one checks or responds to.

    I had a 98 F-150 truck that burned up on November 12, 2010. I have never had a claim on insurance, so I asked the police what I needed to do. They told me to call insurance people and let them know what happened. At that time, the police told me there would not be any report because the truck burned due to an electrical malfunction. Since then, I have contacted the insurance company several times to find out when I would know something about my claim to no avail.

    I have sent them everything that they asked for and still, nothing. On the night of the fire, I was on my way to empty out my storage and move to Oklahoma but my truck caught on fire. I bought a bus ticket and left everything in storage which is costing me more than I can handle.

    I made it to Oklahoma and found that my pre-paid phone didn't work in the area like it was supposed to, so I used a neighbors phone to contact the insurance company and they used caller ID to call back and harass my neighbors and call them liars. So now, I have problems with my neighbors because I called from their phone and can't even get to the surgeon's office for surgery because I have no transportation.

    I have answered all their questions and provided all the documents that I have and still, they will not settle. I desperately need transportation to my doctor's appointments and such and they are still giving me the run around, and I don't have the money to hire a lawyer because I only draw social security disability. Can you please help me in this matter and let me know what I can do to make the hurry up?

    Sitting at the light not moving. I was hit by an ALFA insured vehicle. Totaling out my car. The driver of the car fled the scene but the tag number was retrieved by several people who witnessed the accident. So later on, when I finally got the insurance information, which was almost two weeks later since it was a hit and run.I filed a claim, the driver that day was not the owner of the car and they would not give up the driver but the owner is at fault.

    The adjuster came out and inspected my car, he tried to get over on me and tell me my car wasn't totaled. Smh. Well, I let him know I am no fool and so he changed it once he realized i had two estimates and the damage cost more than the car. Duh. Well this was in Nov 09. It is March 2010 and I am still without a car or a rental. I also see a chiropractor 2 to 3 times a week.

    I'm a college student who has no way to school. They assured me I would get a rental. I have exactly 4 witnesses to the crime and still to this day I am without because the owner of the vehicle denies being in the accident. My days are hard and someday it seem pointless to even try.

    Well I am not insured with Alfa. One day, I was going out on a driveway and this SUV backed up and hit me from the front. I have a Corolla, so the hood got wrecked. I got all the info and I called the insurance company. The appraisal agent came and looked at the car. The estimated damage was for $1,186. They sent me a check saying that I can take the car to any body shop. The body shop found extra damage of $1,300. The second issue was when I was talking to the agent the first time. I mentioned that I would need a rental car. The agent said, "As soon as the car goes in the body, we can rent you a car and you will have it until the car comes out of the body shop." So after the body shop found out the extra damage, they didn't start the repair until they got an approval from Alfa. They called the appraisal company, by accident, and told them. Later on, the guy who helped me, Jamie **, called to check the status. He told me that they called the wrong place, so they just started the repair. I said okay, I will call the body shop and see what is going on.

    The body shop said that the car would be done in a week or a little bit more. I called Alfa yesterday. Jamie ** said that Alfa would only pay a reasonable amount of time of the rental, which is like seven days. But since the body shop took so long, which wasn't my fault, I had to keep the car. In total, it was about three weeks. The rental started on 8/3 until 8/20. Alfa paid only from 8/3 to 8/7, only four days. Now they are making me pay $384 when it's their fault. Jamie ** said that he called me and told me about the rental. But in his calls, he did not mention anything about discontinuing to pay the rental. If he did, I would definitely know and return the car. This is pretty simple. Please help me with this.

There was several problems getting the vehicle fixed but it finally was. After the vehicle was fixed I didn't want want a wrecked vehicle so I went to trade the vehiclein. I didn't tell them the vehicle was wrecked till I got a price on the trade in. After they ran a car fax on my vehicle they drooped the price for my vehicle $3000.00. I had not settled my claim with ALFA yet, so I took them the paper work from the dealership showing them that I lost $3000.oo because of the wrecked vehicle. They stated that was to bad and they would not pay me $3000.00 and if I didn't like it I could get me a lawyer and fight them.

    My car was damaged by vandals early Sunday morning. I couldn't get my Alfa insurance agent on the phone Sunday. Monday, when I called the person on the phone seemed to determined that the damage wasnt so bad that it be more than my $500 deductable. Ha! When I finally was able to speak with the adjuster showed no interest in bothering to come look at my car. When he did finally agree, I told him I would meet him at my home but if I wasn't there, my husband would be. By the time I arrived home, the adjuster had already left and had not gotten my husband from inside the house. He simply left his card on my car.

    The damaged windshield was fully covered by a huge, outdoor garbage bag, which he didnt remove. While some internal damage can be seen from outside the majority and severity of the damage cannot be seen with the bag on the windshield. I called him again, he told me he wasn't coming back out.

    He wanted me to drive my car in to a repair shop. I told him that was impossible-- the whole windshield is shattered. He told me to have it towed in, pay for it and they were pay me back. I told him I wouldnt pay anything up front. So I did eventually get it towed around 2:30pm, with my insurance paying for it. The estimate (from the body shop) wasn't provided until early afternoon Tuesday. It was $2400. But is all of that necessary, I'm asked. It's the frame, the whole roof, windshield, and lots of other things, YES... necessary. The rock thrown through my windshield was ~20lbs, btw.

    When I called my insurance company, I was informed that the adjuster was out of town until Friday and that no work could begin, unless I wanted to pay for it, until he looked over the estimate, which could be next Monday. This is absolutely insane. What about a rental, I asked. Uh, sure... I guess. The person asked if I really need one. Uh, yeah... I have to get to work. They said okay, but the adjuster has to okay that too and he's out til Friday. Argh!!!!

    My husband and I bought our first home a little over four yrs ago. We both worked and had great credit UNTIL I hurt my back over two yrs ago. We had to file bankrupcy a yr ago and also had a break-in in our garage and had to file a claim in the past two yrs.

    We received a letter from Alfa stating they were not going to reissue our homeowners. We have had our cars insured with this company for more than 10 yrs and I feel that since they had to pay out that they want to drop us now. I can't understand how they can do this. It seems so wrong and there needs to be a law against them doing this to anyone. I am still unable to work and my husband is working two jobs. I have called several different insurance companies and they either refuse us insurance or they want triple than what we are paying now. Our policy will expire the 24th of this month!

    My husband is going to have to take on a third job now just to pay the extra ins. premium. We also had to file bankrupcy because he was not able to find a second job for several months after I had to quit. Then his textile job laid off! He was called back and continued to apply at different job openings and was turned down due to credit report! What is going on when people are hard workers and then fall on hard times and everyone wants to turn their backs on you and doesnt even want to give you a job?

    My husband is a hard worker and has had the same textile job for over 11 yrs now. Now we might lose our home because we cant get insurance or can't afford the extremely high insurance that we will be forced to get! This is an outrage and I feel that this issue needs to come to the Legislature's attention!

    I called and talked with our agent at Alfa and he told me that they were sorry but they had a new underwriter and he checked our creidit and saw we had a code 9! This has caused me ALOT of stress as well as sadness. I pray that God will help them see that what they are doing is very wrong and take in account that we have been with them for over 11 yrs and ask them to pls not add more heartache and pain to my life.
