American Freedom Insurance

Bought a new car. The dealer said I had to have ins. They gave me this company. Who took $588. I canceled the ins 1 day later when I researched that they gave me really low coverage for a brand new car and charged me way too much. I was told they canceled the ins & sent the details to the “review” board for refund. LIARS. I never heard from anyone and never got a refund. Then was charged the next month! They are a bunch of Scammers stealing people's money!!

I hard to turn them in to the Illinois Insurance Review Board first of October for an accident that happened in July. Their insured rear-ended my stopped vehicle at a stop sign. Even after they responded and had an adjuster look at it, took another 3 1/2 weeks and they took off $600 for comparative negligence on a $2,700.00 claim.

The insurance company does charge a lower rate, however after more than 3 years of coverage we had our first accident. Someone hit our car and kept going, our car was parked outside of our home. My husband called and was treated like he was the one who committed a crime, fraud and broke the law. He was asked “are you even working?” The entire experience was stressful but to have a company who does not have your back is sad, especially when you are at an emotional state when someone hits your favorite car and keeps right on going.

An American Freedom insured rear-ended our vehicle on 12/20/21. My 90 yr old Aunt was in the passenger seat, my daughter was in the back seat and I was the driver. My Aunt was rushed to the hospital due to stomach pain and her age. Fortunately we all walked away with little injury. A claim was turned in with American Freedom by their insured on 12/20. After 2 wks of hour after hour holding with trying to reach an adjuster at American Freedom, we turned in our claim with our own carrier (State Farm). Finally American Freedom reached out to us on 1/19/22. Fortunately we are insured with a stellar company and State Farm has already taken care of us (a totaled vehicle and med bills).

If there was a way to leave no stars for this company, I would. One of their insurance clients hit my parked car. I have been waiting two weeks for payment. Each time I call I am told the process have to go through more steps. I have spent hours on paperwork and phone calls to this company. Today I waited 30 minutes on hold, just to be told nothing will happen until next week. I have been without a car for 3 weeks thanks to a young man who couldn't properly park his oversized vehicle in a parking spot. No apology, no payment, no help from American Freedom Insurance Company. I would not recommend this company.

Horrible and unethical business practices. AF insurance made up excuses so they don’t have to pay out claims. My parked vehicle was struck by their insured driver and they gave excuses and refused to pay the claim. Horrible business. They have a history of refusing claims. Stay away.

The scam: American Freedom Insurance Company advertises itself as the Company with a Long Term Perspective. That is exactly their modus operandi: they stall and cheat in the hope you will walk away without the money they owe you. As you can read from the reviews here, they are a very shady company. As others reported they will keep your claim under review because they claim that they could not talk to their client to confirm the story. After a period of being unable to talk to their client they will complete “their review” and reject the claim. Mind you, our car was rear-ended by their client and their inspector confirmed that the damage was at the back of our car. On the day of the crash their client agreed with us that it was her fault in front of the police officer who said it was not necessary to draw up a police report when both parties agree whose insurance will need to pay for the damage.

I was hit by one of American Freedom's clients on 12-13-2019. It is now 1-17-2020 and not only is my car not fixed the only time I speak to anyone from this company is when I call them. How can a company like this be allowed to exist. I really hope if you have this company for your insurance needs you so not need to use them. You will be dead before your car gets fixed.

I was in a car accident and I called them and they told me they do not pay for storage fee if it's in a tow. I would have to get it out and I told them why would they wait at the last minute to it got up to a thousand $165. They are very rude. I try to talk to him. I ask can I talk to a supervisor and the lady told me no. She also told me just to give the title. Ain't nothing they can do. They cannot help me even though it was their fault of the person who hit me in the car. The car was totaled. They had to cut me out the car. I will never in my life get insurance from them. The person had totally hit my car on the driver side and totaled the car. They had to cut me out the car. I end up can't walk. I have bruises on my eyes and had glass in my eyes. They trying to say they do not want to pay for nothing.

My parked car was hit by one of their insured in a parking lot. Not only was the car parked, there was nobody inside my car when it was hit. It is going on a month and they are still "reviewing" the claim. No empathy, no follow-up, nothing. I am wasting valuable time trying to get them to pay for what their insured did to my car. They have required me to submit mounds of paperwork, of which I have complied, but NOTHING in return. Each time I call, I am told they are still waiting and I am asked to call back. Upon speaking to a collision repair shop, I was told 'that is their tactic' stall... stall... stall in hopes of the the claim going away. It is a shame and they are a sham. The Illinois Attorney General need to investigate this shady company.
