    Do NOT use their Life Insurance. I have been completely blind sided after my mother’s recent death. Her father was a State Farm agent. He took 2 life insurance policies out for her when she was 15 yrs old. Now, I learn, after 55 yrs of faithful payments, the value is a total of $24,000….just a few thousand more than what was paid in. So they truly leached off of us all this time. I am both horrified and devastated on top of the recent loss.

    I requested a check for the dividend amount from my husband's life insurance policy on November 24, 2025. I was going to use this money as a Christmas gift. I advised my agent that theft of mail was a problem in our area. Sure enough, the check never arrived. Rather than send the next check via FedEx or UPS, they agreed to send it to their agent's office because I was unable to SCAN the required form. It is now December 28, Christmas was spoiled, and I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE CHECK!!! What a pitiful show of customer service from State Farm. I can only imagine the length of time it will take me to receive the proceeds from the death insurance when that time comes. Be aware ---- State Farm does not know the meaning of customer service.

      Miserable liars. Two months before my 64th birthday, I was contacted by a man in Agent Brandon **'s office, offering additional life insurance. I didn't need it. I have no living descendants and I plan to be cremated. I had a $50K policy, which was more than enough to pay my final expenses. I have zero debt. He explained to me that the term policy I'd had since the 80s was "going away in lieu of another policy for $100K." I explained that I didn't need a larger policy amount, after which he explained that, on my birthday, my term insurance monthly amount was going to "more than double."

      After considerable argument, I finally relented and he said I would need to qualify for the larger amount (which I knew I couldn't do). He sent a representative who claimed to be a "nurse," to draw blood and collect a urine specimen. I answered a lengthy series of health and lifestyle questions. Approximately a week later, this agent's representative called and advised that they would not be able to cover me under the new policy. He further explained that they would extend my current policy for approximately 50% more, until the end of the next term.

      Upon THAT revelation, I vehemently accused him of lying, to procure a more expensive policy, for his agency, for which he absolutely denied doing. I told him he was a bold-faced liar. The amount of money is negligible to me, but to lie and collect my DNA, for the world to see on Lexis Nexus, is UNCONSCIONABLE!!! I'm still furious and I've decided to drop my policy for that reason. Insurance companies who push such unscrupulous behavior and deal with such low life's in a business setting must be treated equally and run out of business. They are no more than common thieves.

      Terrible. I have had State Farm for >25 years and never had a claim. Finally, I did. They hassled me over paying for an $800 bumper for my car. They continually told the auto body shop they wanted him to use a "used" bumper but not just a used part, one that had been previously damaged and repaired by someone else and then was sold to them for $400. This went on and on for 6 weeks. All this time, they were paying for a rental car for me, in which time they would have saved money by paying for the new bumper. They sent me their statement on non-OEM parts stating that they would/could use "used," parts but said nothing about used and previously damaged and repaired parts. I said, 'How is that different than the body shop that I have selected simply repairing my own bumper, at least I trust this auto body shop?" More arguments.

      They refused to reimburse him for the actual cost of the parts they approved for him to buy and would only reimburse him the cost of their "estimated price," even though I live in CA where everything here is more expensive anyway. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I felt sorry for my auto body shop having to deal with them. I want to change insurance companies as soon as I can. I simply cannot believe that I carry so much coverage (high limits), and have life, auto, home and etc. And have it for years, paying them tens of thousands of dollars and when it is time to do their part, they fall flat and can't even pay for a simple bumper--total **, and total scammers, the worst of the worst, and they lie.

      I contacted Amanda ** with State Farm for quotes for my home and auto. Amanda was great, she asked a lot of questions regarding my driving habits, miles driven, and various things that would afford me extra discounts. I had recently got a new car and hadn't really looked at my coverage in quite a while. Once we got those items answered, we then moved onto my condo.

      At one point my last insurance had me insured for a home, not a condo, which is quite different because I don't own the land or the building. Amanda immediately zoned in on the difference so I was secure in knowing that I was being quoted for the correct insurance. I also inquired about flood insurance, being that so many people were devastated recently by floods to their homes, only to find that weren't covered or extremely underinsured. I was looking to purchase far more insurance than I typically would need for my area. Amanda explained how the amount is determined and what was right for me. This saved me hundreds of dollars that possibly another agent might have taken advantage of? All and all I was very impressed with my conversation with Amanda and decided on the spot to change carriers due to her down to earth approach and answering my whole list of questions. She offered up information that I didn't know, I needed to know.

      STATE FARM INSURANCE agent Douglas B 158 Sullivan Ave. South Windsor, Ct. sold my husband an annuity with the understanding that if/when he dies the remaining monies would come to me in a check form. Not 10k but the remaining 100k, after my husband died he again said this to me and a friend. He stated he did not have the exact amount offhand but I would be getting somewhere near 100k. I received the packet from SF asking how would I like the 10k to be given to me (check, direct deposit) the rest of what remains of the 100k is SF’s and Douglas Brown says that’s how my husband wanted things. Later when he finally answered my calls Douglas Brown said to me, “I am only human, I make mistakes.” He sold my husband an annuity that he himself did not know anything about. SF has products that are faulty and misleading. They are draining people's wallets. Beware of anything SF sells.

      I've called Mr Andy ** several times concerning this matter, and he thinks it's a joke or is trying to put this bill on my credit report. Me & Mr. Andy ** have spoken 3 or 4 times about me keep receiving this bill for $83.20. Common sense would tell you & your company, I do not want this insurance from you or State Farm because I'm not making no payments on this life insurance policy so please stop. Go find you something else to play with. Thank you. Markia L **

      I would not recommend anyone to purchase Life Insurance from State Farm. There are major reasons for my assertion. First, I purchased my Universal Life Insurance Policy in 1991. Second, I was conned or tricked into Universal Life policy. The agent was skillful in semantics and was deceitful. Using words to confuse me. Some examples are: Whole Life vs Universal Life, saving account vs account value, Variable policy vs term policy, etc.

      A whole life policy is different in a Universal Policy; nevertheless, a Universal Life Insurance police in reality is a variable policy/term policy. Likewise, there is no such thing as a saving account or nest egg account. The saving account is in reality is an account in case you failed to meet the goal of the Cost of Insurance, which is based on your age. Meaning, as you get older the cost of insurance increases on your Universal Life Policy. So, if you out live your twenty year policy in the end you will be paying approximately $2,500 a year and expect to increase by to $3500 plus.

      Over the year I wrote many letters to the CEO of State Farm and I still have those letters in my possession. I have caught agents in being dishonest, providing misinformation, and being disingenuous. I have had the following policies with State Farm: two house insurance, IRA, Annuity, CDs accounts, and Universal Life. I am about to cancel my last policy with State Farm, which is my Universal Life Policy. If anyone would like to see the letters that I wrote to State Farm CEO you may address your email message to: **. You will be shocked to learn that State Farm is a long way from being your friend or neighbor. State Farm recruiting procedures may make you wonder how low the "bar" for recruiting. State Farm integrity is question to say it mildly. I have many factual information and will update occasionally on this site.
