    Was in a wreck and a lady took off my bumper. No cops involved, but was told there would be arbitration. They lied. There was none and I was found at fault by MY OWN insurance company. I asked for records and notes leading to decision and was told they are confidential. That is like a person asking a doctor for records and they won't release them "without subpoena." Utter dissatisfaction and un-neighborly. The woman who hit me was clearly not in her lane. Not happy and may take 24 years of business to another insurance company.

    I purchased a new car on January 10th. Called the after hours and was quoted $110 vs my old payment of $93 per month. The next day I called to confirm and they said "Sorry the overnight agent was incorrect and it is $136 per month." I was obviously upset about being told one price and then it going up by $26 per month in one night. They requoted $114. I said "Fine let's do it" even though I had quotes from Progressive and GEICO for $108 & $112 because I have been with State Farm my entire life of driving of 11 years and my mother her entire life of nearly 40 years. The week after my mother receives a bill that shows $132 per month. I call and they said "Ignore that as that was incorrect." My State Farm office said it would be $127 not $136 or $132. Then the office said final official quote was $115 or $696 per 6 months. I said perfect and they said payment was due tomorrow. My mom called to pay.

    Two weeks after, the bill showed $125 per month. I finally got ahold of the agent (David **) and he said sorry for human error but it's not his or his office's fault that the underwriters changed the billing. He doesn't handle billing. He said the only thing he would do was change my policy and it would go down to $117. They said they could sell me renters insurance which was $9 per month plus $114 car insurance. All of which is not okay. I have had the same policy with them for 11 years and the way they value their customers is to bait and switch? They can only say sorry that human error did not quote correctly. Human error is okay 2-3 times, but 10 separate occasions is not human error.

    I have called customer service. They admit their wrongdoing in quoting but only says it's human error and they can't help me but "We value you." I am just shocked that they don't value me or my mother after forever. I am reaching out to my state insurance commissioner and the customer service manager. I just want them to pick 1 of the 10 quote and stick with it.

    I was involved in a car accident in December 2016 due to a State Farm insured driver running a red light. State Farm has accepted liability but has done absolutely nothing to compensate me for the accident. I was injured pretty bad and out from work for a little over 2 months. Their customer service is horrible! When I asked what I should do to cover prescriptions and in general continue living without income, she said "I would suggest Federal assistance and we will handle your claim when it comes up in rotation". I signed and returned all release forms for them and they still told me that they had not received any bills, even though they (State Farm) sent me a copy of the original hospital bill. I did the leg work for the claim handler and got all medical bills and sent them to her.

    I am now continuing to get the run around and am being told that a settlement offer has been drawn up but needs approval from 2 other managers. It has been over 2 months since the accident and I have been released from doctor's care for almost a month now and still NOTHING from State Farm. Their claims handlers are rude and do not attempt to be helpful in the least. I realize that they have a job to do and that they are not obligated to care, but as a representative of State Farm, you would think they are at least responsible for customer service and to be of some assistance. Obviously, their job is to drag their feet and just wear the customer down so that they are tired of dealing with it and will just accept whatever to be rid of dealing with them.

    I have approximately $40,000 in medical bills and am beginning to receive collection notices because State Farm is doing nothing to get my claim handled. I am currently shopping for Renter's Insurance and a new car insurance company and I WOULD NEVER USE STATE FARM after having to deal with them as a claimant. My next step is to contact an attorney and just let them deal with it!

    They have horrible customer service, all the customer service rep. Please don't go to the on 36th Ave and 31st street in LIC because they are the worst. I called to discuss why insurance bill was being increased so much (no accidents or tickets), the agent literally screamed at me. I immediately switched to Geico. The minute they answer the phone felt treated with dignity and respect. Moreover, State Farm was charging me $568 and I will be paying $165 with Geico... The worst, worst insurance company.

    I have been attempting to get State Farm Auto Insurance Claims Department to finalize the damage estimate and pay out on my 2003 Mitsubishi Galant since December 9, 2016. I have spoken to the "Claims Department" more than 20 times, and have only spoken to the same representative twice, both of those conversations were due to the representative calling me back for additional information.

    Every time I call State Farm Auto Claims Department, it is like refiling the claim, in its entirety, and having someone new evaluate it. Today, February 22, 2017, I have received a third damage estimate. State Farm now states that they must re-evaluate the entire claim, based on this new information. Here we go! 2 more months of unreturned phone calls, speaking to 20 more "Claims Associate" that need to review the entire claim file before they can tell me that "The Claim Handler" (who I am not allowed to speak to) will need to review the new information before a decision can be reached. 2 times now, a State Farm "Claims Associate" has informed me that my car is a total loss. 2 times now, a State Farm "Claims Associate" has given me a Total Loss Payout Amount, and made arrangements to pay the loss to me, and 2 times now, the offer for payout has been rescinded.

    The new estimate appears to have been accepted by State Farm, and published; I was notified via email. But none of the "Claims Associates" I spoke with this afternoon, can tell me what happens next. Now that the damage truly does exceed the value, no offer is on the table. More than 2 months of this ridiculous back and forth has impressed one thing upon me; I would hate to be paying for such incompetent, untrustworthy, and despicable service.

    I burst out laughing every time I hear or see one of their commercials advertising car insurance great rates or the discount you (don't) get when you have a renters policy as well. Is there truly any doubt why they've a need for advertising? A few years ago a woman fell off her bicycle while traveling at a high rate of speed. She was unconscious for perhaps 2 or 3 minutes. I called 911 and when the police arrived, asked if I'd hit her? I said absolutely NOT. There was a man on a bicycle behind her who corroborated my statement. In fact there was never even a Police Report but rather an Incident Report that unequivocally stated I'd no contact with the bicyclist.

    When she found out I had STATE FARM she sued me knowing their reputation for paying claims. I immediately contacted the Division of Insurance Fraud who they took the case. They stated if she were to pursue her erroneous claim she'd be subject to 5 years in jail in addition to a huge fine. The woman not only changed her story several times but the deposition lasted over 5 hours. She lacked even the slightest modicum of credibility. The lawyer stated they never heard a more pathetic deposition. She talked about her ex-boyfriends and their SEX life?!?

    Needless to say State Farm paid the claim! Not only did she collect $100,000 from my policy she then sued her own and got another $150,000. There wasn't a microscopic ounce of evidence to pay the claim yet through their total incompetence handed over $100,000 and why there's such rampant insurance fraud in today's society. I've no doubt State Farm employees are in cahoots with lawyers. The Division of Insurance Fraud was licking their chops waiting to pursue this and yet State Farm paid her instead. Even they agreed, it’s companies like State Farm who exacerbate and foster insurance fraud.

    I have had State Farm insurance since 1990. Originally from Pa then I moved to Florida and how things changed. I had a minor fender bender in a parking lot in 2015 no damage to my car and only paint damage to the other. Then in November I lent my car to someone and they got in an accident. I asked at the time if that was going to affect my insurance and they assured me it wasn't. Well, here it is two years later and they decided to not renew my policy. I got a letter listing the "accidents and claims". They actually held it against me that I used the road service two times and that was also used to determine their decision.

    After being with them for 27 years I'm sure I've more than paid for these incidents 10 times over. They will gladly take you as a customer if you are perfect. I would not recommend them to anyone. They are expensive and hard to deal with. It took two weeks to get my claim going. They charge extra for the road service and then turn around and list it as a "claim" when you use it. I have signed on with Geico for a little more a month but everything like road service, rental car, and a low deductible is included in the premium. State Farm charges extra for every little thing. Shop around everyone there are better choices out there. I was just naive I took what insurance was convenient back in 1990. I don't even think Geico was around back then. There were very few choices. Buyer beware.

    Moved from NY to NJ. Simple enough?? Well, State Farm botched the paperwork and cancelled all our policies after 31 years of no claims, all on-time payments. Get it fixed? Not possible. Runaround after runaround. My family got completely hung out to dry. Dozens of calls to "customer service" (really?). Wrong information, snotty CS agents, fabrication of our current status and long waits to speak to the next do-nothing in line. Would drop dead if anyone from this outfit gave us straight answers. No way out of this mess, other than to go to another company. Still in hell trying to get answers.

    I have had very bad experience with State Farm, neither Agency office nor customer care knows anything how State Farm works. When my spouse went back to home country I have submitted form in person in Rancho Cordova Office in California state to remove from her the premium, they said they will be taken care with a big smile, however after 3 months I found out the request is not completed. When contacted agents office in California she gave me a very funny reason that they have only a reason to exclusion family member is either divorce or death.

    And after 5 weeks when contacted customer support specialist he said the underwriters are processing the requests on first come first basis. I have asked him a counter question. How come they have completed the request for moving to Los Angeles for increasing the premium rate instantly but removing the spouse is not yet completed even after 5 months. I also have very bad experience with State Farm related to claims and roadside emergency. Dear readers, anyone please tell me your genuine experience with State Farm, I am now really scared to continue with State Farm. If they cannot complete one small request in months how come they can take care of roadside emergencies and claims. Thanks.

    I have recently gotten insurance with State Farm in Lenexa, KS. I have to say that they suck. I ran over a piece of ice on a cold day and my bumper cracked somehow. I made a claim and the amount they estimated was nowhere near what the shops said it would cost. I have gotten the runaround and have been told nothing but lies. I was told that they estimated a new bumper being replaced at $250. The shops I went to all said it would cost over $1000 to replace everything that needed to be replace everything. I really wish I was not dealing with them because they are liars and just awful. They cant even get their stories straight. One guy told me that they would send out the rest of the money needed for the repairs if it wasnt enough. Then someone else said they werent going to honor what I was told.

    I would not recommend them to my enemy. I had Progressive at one point and I thought they were bad but they seem like saints compared to State Farm. Whats the point of full coverage if you cant get your bumper fixed. I was very offended by the people that have been handling my claim. I plan to get out of their insurance company and go somewhere else. My dad plans to leave as well. I have never been so furious when doing business with someone. They arent hesitant when they withdraw their payment from my account each month. I am very disappointed in their services and I feel like they lie about their offerings. My full coverage insurance is not cheap. Im so done and over this company and their employees.

    Terrible Unethical Company! I am very unimpressed with State Farm Auto Insurance. I am actually considering suing them for taking advantage of the mentally disabled. I may be highly functioning but I feel like I have been taken advantage of and had my privacy rights severely violated. At the beginning of the claim we gave them specific instructions to contact the insurance agent handling the claim through my insurance. When that fails to contact my designated legal guardian. The first few months, the group of insurance agents aware of this fact did a fine job of keeping within the contact circle.

    After a few months, State Farm started contacting me and leaving peer pressuring voice mails on my phone to contact them. Well you call State Farm Auto Insurance back and all you get are ** voice mails! You have to go through their slew of phone trees before you actually get someone. When you get someone it's not the designated party handling your insurance.

    My designated guardian and I called them back to see what they wanted. We thought it was to challenge our demand letter. No! It was a con into providing a recorded statement! Which is full of false information due to my mental disability not allowing me to understand half the questions. It was illegal for my mother to guide me for answers. A few of the answers were revoked due to her trying to answer for me. I work retail and am trained to blindly say "yes" and be compliant to all whether I understand them or not. I honestly did not understand any of the questions they were requesting of me. The recorded statement they illegally made me speak against my will is full of lies. The only piece of information accurate to the day of the m.v.a. incident is the dash cam video. Which they refuse to view unless it's burned to a data disc.

    First let me say that I have always been a loyal State Farm customer, but I am very dissatisfied with this specific agent (State Farm Jacob Rossell). I have tried to call his office multiple times, and I receive a voicemail every time. I have several issues that need be addressed. I can never get a hold of anyone at the actual office location and have to call the general customer service line. I have reported that my mailing address is wrong several times, but every time. I have contacted customer care to update this as well without success. Apparently, the branch manager has to review the request to update this info. Obviously, he does not read his emails...

    He removed my low mileage discount from my policy without my knowledge because notification to verify my mileage was sent to the wrong address. I have been paying for this increase for 7 months now. I currently have 2 homeowners policies. One on the incorrect address that I have never lived at. And a second on my actual residence. I have also been charged for this false policy for 8 months now. I have not been reimbursed for his lack of diligence. So far, his branch owes me almost $400.

    I started services with State Farm because they said it would be cheaper than the current insurance company I was currently with. They asked me to sign papers for me to have automatic payments through the company. I originally said, "Sure I would like it," but 15 days later they go in my account to attempt to take another payment out. Which a full 30-31 day cycle haven't lapped yet. So that's the first incident! They actually called me after attempting to take money out my account. My respond; it's not even time for me to pay. Which I didn't even get pay yet so yeah that was considered a return check and a Overdraft fees. Every time they called they would try to get me to sign up with them for this automatic payment plan. That right there with the first incident already got me apprehensive of signing up with them.

    So bottom line too many problems I decide not to sign up with them. I go to call in my payment for the month they tell me "Oh you owe 232 and some change." I tell them how does my payment go from 69 dollars to that large amount. They proceed to tell me because I didn't sign the papers and send them back they automatically picked my tort (which we discussed obviously the first time I sign up) and because I didn't sign the automatic payment plan it made my payments jump. I tell them there is no way I can pay that much and if I could I would've just stayed with my old company. So the day it was due I called them and cancel after all this debate of why I don't want to deal with them. (Mind you I never signed papers stating they can go in my account for reoccurring payments).

    The next day of canceling with them they go into my account illegally. And I'm having a hard time getting my money back that they took illegally! My mother also happened to have the same problems a couple years ago come to find out. After reading other reviews. Beware of this company bad business!! My experience your could be great or worst!

    I am not insured by State Farm however their insured driver backed into my parked vehicle. I submitted a claim for my damaged bumper but State Farm denied the claim. The adjuster said there was previous damage to the bumper. The damage that he spoke of has a good little story behind it and I kinda smile when I see it. The opposite side of the bumper it's where some guy backing out of his driveway not paying attention has caused more damage. Besides the facts of either instance, the bumper it's repairable. Should I decide to have it repaired it would cost me more due to the damage caused by State Farm's careless driver. I have threatened legal action. Let's see where it goes.

    I have been with State Farm for nine years. I was extremely happy with them until 2 years ago when my policies started increasing every six months. I have the same vehicle, no tickets, no accidents, and I haven't moved. My vehicle is getting older, so more expensive unnecessary coverage was not needed. I experienced an increase of $40 a month twice a year. This last six month period ended in December and I asked why my coverage changed without my consent and why the price has been increased. Tiana stated she would fix it and in January not only was my COVERAGE WRONG, my rate went up another $40 a month. I looked at 3 other insurance companies Allstate, Geico and American Family. All of them quoted me less than 1/2 of what State Farm was charging me.

    When I called to cancel my insurance I was hung up on. This wasn't a negative conversation, so I was confused by the unprofessional behavior. I still had questions, so I called back. This was at 3 pm. They let me go to voicemail so I left a message for a return call. Still haven't received one. Buyer beware. This company is fraudulently increasing coverage to cover quotas. They are also highly unprofessional.

    State Farm is the least helpful company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. The last few months has been hell with this company. One place can't remember to automatically withdrawn the payment from our account and we moved to a different agent after the first one screwed everything up and they ended up withdrawing payments twice in 1 month! Not to mention the fact that for months we could not get into the online State Farm account and come to find out the wrong email address had been used to set up our account but they kept telling us we could reset it ourselves (clearly not the case since any reset was being sent to the wrong email address!!!).

    When we switched to the new branch we asked repeatedly if there was any hold due to the lapse which occurred when Rob Fields neglected to automatically charge us for our monthly insurance (for the 2nd time in a 6 month period). We were assured that they could see nothing wrong with our registration/account, we find out by being pulled over that they were wrong and the registration was suspended!!!! After paying almost $500 to State Farm to get things straightened out we now owe DMV $320 in fine.

    Not one person would help us. We had no clue that anything was suspended. Nobody called to say payment had not been made and no email was sent. DMV was the only place that contacted us and that was only after everything was a mess. The woman actually shrugged her shoulders at me when I went into the office for help and said nothing I can do. The owner gave me the number for customer service and told me to call them. When I asked who she reported to she said nobody is above her and she can't (wouldn't) help.

    My insurance claim was denied. On 12/13/16 I filed a claim with State Farm, my insurance company after I had experienced vehicle breakdown on 12/12/16. I had my vehicle towed to the repair shop where it was diagnosed that sugar water had been poured into my gas tank. The technician showed me the effects of the sugar contamination to my fuel pump, gas lines and tank, as well as to the spark plugs and engine heads. At that time I informed my insurance agent of the issue and it was filed as a vandalism claim.

    After the claims adjuster accessed the vehicle it was his determination that there was sugar contents found in all of those areas and that those would be covered but that the engine failure was not due to the sugar but posed that it was from engine wear and would not cover any repairs to the engine. I disputed his assessment and provided the insurance company with receipts of routine vehicle maintenance records and oil changes/stating the condition of the vehicle prior to the vandalism was in great condition. I asked for a second review as the repair shop disagreed with the adjuster's assessment.

State Farm said they can fix it for $14,000.00. Right... Also local agent wouldn't give me the time of day. Safe Co (their insurance) no phone calls... nothing.

    I was in a car accident on thanksgiving night when I was hit. She ran a red light. When the police got there they said that it was her fault. When State Farm got the police report they said to take my van to the body shop but two weeks later they said that they were not going to pay because she said she had the green arrow. There was no green arrow. The light was green. That was two days before Christmas. They put me in a bid.

    I have been with State Farm for over 20 years and my parents have been with them twice as long. 2 years ago I was involved in an accident where the other driver was found at fault as he backed out of his driveway onto the road in front of me. Then he filed a lawsuit against me in which he made up a part of the accident that didn't happen, and claimed he was injured in it. After the accident he was posting pictures on Facebook of himself lifting weights and vacationing when he was supposed to be injured. Instead of State Farm doing the right thing and fighting it they are trying to settle with him. I am leaving State Farm as soon as I can get new insurance, and I am asking those who want to stand up to insurance fraud to do the same. This is why people continue to milk the system, because insurance companies keep letting it happen instead of trying to shut these people down.

    I have had State Farm Auto Insurance for over 30 years. I have had few if any, issues concerning their dealings with me. I had a minor accident that was my fault. No one was hurt. State Farm took care of the person whose car I hit with no issues as well as fixing my car immediately. They took care of contacting the auto body shop for me who then called me with an appointment. My car was repaired in a little over a week. It was smooth sailing with State Farm when it came to the accident described. I will continue with them for the immediate future.

    I switched over to State Farm because I was told they would give me a great rate by an agent that was advertising. I have one of the safest cars on the market. I take very good care of it maintenance wise because it is expensive. My pride and joy. I had hit a semi truck whole tire in the middle of a 2 lane high way going 55 miles per hr at night on an unlit highway on my way to work at 945 pm. I filed a police report, had my car towed to a clinic of theirs because I had fluids leaking the next morning. Had front damage, damage underneath my car and who knows what else. They only paid for the cosmetic portion.

    Never did they do a mechanical check on my car which I requested. They wouldn't let me take it to the place I wanted to for both body and mechanical checks. I may have to pay for it. Their recommended clinic advised me to get a second opinion on what the outsource company had said I needed to have new shocks and struts before they would do my alignment. Which in turn would cost 1400.00. Outsource said that's crazy.

    To make a long story short. My repairs were $4000.00 that I had to pay out of pocket to get my car fixed. I can't drive a car without it being aligned etc. I have invested to much money into my car. Adjuster lied, they never got a copy of my accident report stating what happened. They stated claim said it happened at 930 am not 945pm at night. They stated that I said I hit "something" in road never mentioned semi truck tire which I had pic of. They said adjuster had contacted me which he had not ever when I had requested to talk with him.

    My agent never returned my calls. Had to talk with Manager. They raised my rates 60.00 while my car was in shop for 3 months cause I didn't have my Bluetooth gps State Farm navigator on (I removed everything from my vehicle when I had my car in shop, wasn't driving it). The car rental put the bill for three months on my debit card instead of billing State Farm directly like they said it would happen.

    Instead of putting my payments on hold for three months cause my car was being fixed, I get a notice saying it's illegal to go without insurance. Please reinstate. It has been a total disaster since day one. Auto repair shop said I would hire an attorney... so I did. I'm just a average single parent with a kid in college. I could of gone to the ER and made up some big story. It would of been easier if had gotten injured. They should be excited that I have a very safe car and how I handled the situation. Instead they take my money make me pay deductible and screw me. I've hired an attorney. This is a nightmare!!!

    State Farm was more concerned with themselves than my welfare. In general their customer service has been terrible. I ended up getting business and renter's insurance elsewhere. The only time an agent had time to speak with me was after the accident and when I proved someone involved was filing a false claim and saved them thousands. The only response I got was for them to raise my rates. Every time in the past 7 years I asked for an agent, specifically the agent that was assigned to me, he was always too busy. They raised my rates every year even though I had a perfect driving record.

    I have been with State Farm since 2014 when I got my new car. I am on a policy with my boyfriend. I bought a house in 2016 and used State Farm to cover our homeowners policy. Unfortunately in April 3, 2015 I was hit by a drunk driver while I was stopped at a light heading home from work. March 2, 2016 I was rear-ended while I was stopped at a light headed to work. And a deer jumped out in front of me in October 2015 on my way home from running an errand. There was very little damage and if I didn't get rear-ended in March, I wouldn't have fixed it at all. BUT because of the frequency of the accidents in a 3 year time span, State Farm underwriting will no longer cover me. 2 accidents were not my fault and I was stopped.

    My boyfriend has been with them for years, so if we were married, even though we live together, and/or his name was on my car title, then State Farm would cover me. Why do we have insurance? To protect us from the ones that cause accidents... right? I am being punished for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am being punished for actually abiding by the law and stopping at traffic lights. On a side note, the second accident State Farm didn't have to pay for. The driver that hit me; his insurance paid for all the damages.

    I will say that I did love working with Katie Harris State Farm Agency. They were always helpful when State Farm forgot to take out my monthly auto-drafted insurance payment. They were even just as helpful when we first found out State Farm wanted to drop me. They even got me a temp policy until underwriting was finished. Apparently underwriting cannot read the Police Reports. So they sent me a letter stating that I am eligible for insurance coverage through the Georgia Automobile Insurance Plan. This plan is for high risk drivers. Both accidents I was stopped at a light, not driving? How am I high risk?! Explain that one... Oh yeah the frequency I was in an accident when other drivers hit me. Not me hitting them.

    State Farm underwriting has put me in a bind, and I am scrambling to get insurance by Friday. This is unfair that they put me in a risk category. Look at my entire history of driving. LONG GAPS of no incidents at all since 1992. And I can remember being hit in 1992. Then I was hit in 2005. They need to take that into consideration. OH... and still haven't gotten my $500 Deductible or my 20% car rental back for an accident I didn't cause on April 3, 2015. I should have never had to pay that deductible since I didn't cause the accident. That drunk driver hit 7 of us and only stopped because he plowed into a stopped Cadillac SUV.

    A few months ago, I moved from Indiana to Ohio and switched insurances from one State Farm agent to another. I really believed the person who did my insurance in Ohio was very knowledgeable and tried to make the most with my money, but I was wrong! The agent quoted a price which later I found out I had to pay more. The agent told me an amount prior to signing up and was charged a different amount after committed with their office. I was told a certain due date over the phone and found out the payment was taken out of my checking 5 days earlier. The person on the phone imputed the wrong expiration date which denied payment and resulted in cancelling my policy. It took more than 2 months to change my address and was told they have to cancel the policy to do so.

    After the policy was cancelled, the agent forgot to reinstate my renters. When I called the corporate office to complain about my billing uncertainties, I found out the renters was not active and my life insurance was still with the Indiana office. Also, I got charged for changing the address not from Indiana to Ohio, but from the apartment office to own apartment within the same complex. When asked why my renters was cancelled was told different stories from different agents... No one seemed to know exactly why. My renters and car insurance appeared and disappeared on my policy. I received 2-3 bills within the same month; each one had a different amount to be paid. I am afraid to drive because if I get in a car accident I will find out that I may or may not have the insurance to cover me or the other car. Same with the apartment. I don't know if at this moment my apartment is covered or not.

    It is a hustle to be insured by State Farm. I constantly have to check for the correct amount when billed, correct dates, coverage and billing. The agent was never on top of her game! She cancelled policies that should not be cancelled and did not reinstated them when needed to. I am a busy person and could not deal with all the calls and corrections I had to keep track of. When I called the corporate office I was basically told to go with another insurance company. A lot of mistakes on invoices, coverage, and did not stand by their mishaps. If you have the chance to go with a different insurance company that is more reliable and deal with people that stand by what they say... You should be in a better position than me at this moment.

My first response was "You don't play with people's bank accounts. When you agree to deduct a payment you are to deduct what you were approved for."

But some of the customer service personnel are not that nice or knowledgeable. Overall I have been happy with my insurance company. What I was not expecting was for my rates to increase because of these claims. In over 20 years no claims however due to bad weather I have to pay higher premiums.

    Be careful when claiming a minor damage to your automobile due to a "hit and run". They will not have you claim it under uninsured/underinsured motorists. Deductible is now $250.00 and yes it used to be $100.00, but they will put it under collision which will show up on national record as a at fault accident. No you do not benefit when they put it under collision. Their pot of profits from the uninsured/underinsured will now rapidly. Now you will also pay higher rates.

    I left State Farm after 30 years of being with them. They could care less if you leave. Even the agent himself is too busy returning my call. All members of my family have left State Farm not only here in Texas but other states as well. It's a pity how they treat loyal customers that they have to leave after 20-30 years! End effect they refuse to change the "at fault accident" which also relates paying higher premiums when you leave for another insurance company.

    I applied for auto insurance for my very first time and it took over 3 weeks for them to get it done, when I was told it would only take a maximum of 7 days. During this time I had to call to find out that the agent I thought I was working with quit. Then when they told me what paperwork I needed to give them, they forgot about 2-3 different papers they needed for it to go through, causing it to take even longer. This also caused me a late fee since you only have 15 days to register your car before a late fee is applied. I asked if they would pay it, since it was only because of them I had a late fee. They said no. I called for insurance two days after obtaining the car, figuring it would leave me with plenty of time. I will never trust State Farm and am extremely disappointed in the frustration they caused me, and their poor efficiency. I called AAA and they had insurance in my hand in less than 24 hours, for less than State Farm.

    I have had auto insurance with Allstate for 12 years. I had a couple of problems and decide to change it over to State Farm Insurance. I had the insurance for 3 months and last week I had two very unfortunate mishaps with my automobile on the 26th of December. I came out of the store to find that someone had done something to my car. It was scraped up. There's no question it looks like a shopping cart. However State Farm says that shopping cart is a collision and I will need to pay a $500 deductible. Unfortunately 3 days later I was rear-ended and the person who hit me drove off. I contacted State Farm and I was told that I will need to pay yet another $500 deductible to get my car fixed although I do have insurance for uninsured drivers.

    My agent no longer will have anything to do with the incident and he told me that if I had problems with any of the claims or the estimates that I needed to contact the adjusters or the estimators and there was nothing he could do about any of it. So not only was I abandoned by my agent and left to deal with all of this not knowing anything about policies, I'm out of thousand dollars for all kinds of damage that's been done to my vehicles not due to my fault at all. I'm very sorry that I left Allstate and this experience with State Farm has cost me dearly. I am now in financial ruin. As a single mother I don't have $1,000 to fork out to whoever wants it. State Farm should be put out of business.

That was all the effort it took on our part to get State Farm to recognize the claim and set things up for us. We picked up the rental car, delivered our car to the repair facility and when it was repaired we checked it out, picked it up and signed the papers. We paid the deductible to the repair facility and it was done.

    On December 9 I was t-boned by a van as I entered the intersection of a four-way stop. The van came out of nowhere and skidded to a stop as it crashed into the right front door of my vehicle. I was exceptionally fortunate not to have been injured. This driver was also insured by State Farm. My husband came to the accident site and took pictures showing the skid marks as the other driver attempted to stop at the last moment and could not. I reported the accident and called the Highway Patrol, who declined to make a report. I immediately gave a report of what occurred to State Farm... Do NOT do that. When you are traumatized and upset by the accident; don't talk to State Farm. Consult an attorney and preferably hire an attorney. State Farm will take your words, twist them around and use them against you.

    Be advised that no matter how clear the case, State Farm will endeavor to avoid assigning responsibility, if it requires them to pay out more for the claim. Also read your policy very carefully. In my case they would not pay the full bill for repairs if I took my car to the repair shop of my choice. And I was required to accept non-oem parts. I strongly advise anyone with State Farm Auto Insurance to work only through an attorney when dealing with this corporate entity.

    I have been a State Farm auto and homeowners insurance policy holder for over 10 years. Having never been in an accident or getting a speeding ticket once in 10 years, I would assume and expect that my loyalty and my being a low risk policy holder would get me the best rates possible. Boy was I wrong. So recently I had a 2004 and a 2005 car on my insurance policy. The total value of these cars were no more than $3000. Yet I was paying $180 per month for insurance. I always thought this was high, but my trust in State Farm made me expect that I was getting the best rates.

    Now when I say best rates, I know every company is different so maybe a $20-$30 difference per month is acceptable. Anyways, I paid this premium for over 2 years and didn't complain or even question State Farm. The issue that brought this to my attention and submitting this to Consumer Affairs, was when I purchased a 2010 Jeep and tried putting it on my policy. After talking to my local agent and going over all the details he came up with a price of around $150 per month for just this car. Again, I thought this was high, but this time I decided to check the market and see if I was getting a good price.

    Very first place I tried, and have never been a policyholder and have no loyalty towards came up with a quote $80 less per month on just the one vehicle. For both vehicles it was over $120 cheaper per month. That is a whopping $1440 price difference in insurance. And this is for the SAME EXACT COVERAGE that State Farm was offering. APPLES TO APPLES. How could this be? Has State Farm been taking advantage of me for the past 10 years? This other company has the same exact information as does State Farm of where I live and all other factors that determine price of insurance. How could there be almost a 100% markup for a loyal and low risk customer? These are questions I want answered.

    Who knows how many people have just "assumed" that being an excellent driver and a low risk policy holder that we are getting the best rates. They tell you that you are getting all these discounts for being a safe driver accident free but are they really? I'm sure there are many other current or past policy holders that have been affected by this price gouging tactic they use. I would love to see a private or Federal investigation uncover the truth behind all this.

    I'm a blue collar worker barely making ends meet with a wife and two kids and need to save a penny anywhere I can. This whole time, I expected my Insurance company would be the last place that would try and pull some wool over my eye. I hope this wakes some people up that are current and past policyholders to question them and get other quotes to see exactly if they are doing you wrong like they did me. I would love to have someone look over my past payment history and rates and tell me just how much I was really overpaying.

    In conclusion, I would hope that something becomes of this because the answers I have received from State Farm were not satisfactory. There are underwriters and other factoring that goes into developing rates, but why should the average everyday low risk driver be the one who bares burden to State Farms major rate increases and obviously high risk policy holders? Just because?

    It is State Farms mistake for covering these high risk policy holders that are ruining it for everyone else. I put my trust into them and they took advantage. Is that the American way in today's standards? Maybe it's companies like this that are making the economy so volatile right now. Wake up State Farm and help. Don't put loyalty by the back burner and expect people to just accept this.

    Well I have been with State Farm for 2 years and they just cut my Auto Insurance without not one call or notice until 1 month after. According to State Farm using the towing coverage is filing a claim. While 2015 Atlanta was hit with record rain and my car was flooded. State Farm decided to fix it instead of totaling it out. That was their call. I had a small fender bender which was my fault. But being that, I had that one at fault accident and used the towing. Their company have now labeled me as high risk. What is insurance for? This has been my only at fault accident in my whole life.

    So Dec. 19, 2016 I paid the bill that State Farm sent me, they took my money and said my coverage was good to go. Just for me to go out of town and get pulled over and car towed. Towed why? No insurance, really State Farm that is how you are doing your customers. Your dates that you told me didn't add up. If you are calling your customer saying you are going to cancel them on Dec. 1, then why did your company email me for a bill pay as well as your Reps calling for a payment? To add to this you sent a letter out on Dec. 21, 2016 talking about you cancel me on Dec. 15, 2016. You just took my payment on Dec. 19, 2016. State Farm is starting to be a scam. I started my complaint already with the GA Insurance Comm., as well as the BBB. So basically they give you things they don't want you to use. So if we pay for tow but you don't want you to use it, then just say that. Why have it in the policy? I will never use them again.

    My Wife was sitting in a fast food place when a little old lady backed into her vehicle. We did the whole exchange of info and police report making sure that she was ok. Fast forward 2 weeks our vehicle has now been deemed totaled. Bumper and back hatch damage. I thought a bit excessive, but who am I to question. It is 4 Days before Christmas and we have a decision to make, whether to surrender the vehicle or have it repaired out of a salvaged title with an unknown price. Speak to the collision place and all of a sudden the price is within the range of the settlement to take the salvaged title amount, in which I found a bit shady as when I dropped off the vehicle they had mentioned if the vehicle were to be totaled they may be able to work something out.

    So instead we decided to surrender 2 days later after an emotional roller coaster as this van was a gift from my father and the attachment overwhelming. State Farm brings the check to us an afternoon a day before Christmas Eve. We are now in a scramble to find a vehicle as we only have another 5 days with the rental, with 2 of these days Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

    We finally call State Farm day after Christmas (After 3 prior phone calls - 1 saying to us they would probably at least be able to extend the rental because of the holiday) as most of the check does not clear until the day after the rental is due back and the remainder won't clear until the 31st. This leaving us without money to buy a vehicle until the check clears nor a vehicle to do things during the holidays with 5 children. State Farm stated it was our banks fault for not clearing the check sooner. We then stated the check most likely hadn't cleared because we had no money due to the holidays and did not budget for this situation we were in, where they said accidents happen. I am truly blown away at the lack of empathy due to circumstances. Not sure what to do next. HELP.

I called roadside assistance and was told they would send someone to assist me... unfortunately, I received a call approximately 30-60 minutes later and was told no one would come to assist me. As a result, I had to leave (due to adverse weather conditions) and left my truck behind, which was consequently towed by the CHP. State Farm representatives said they would cover the towing expenses, but NOT storage fees since "Your policy does not cover storage fees." Now, I pay for emergency roadside assistance so that I am assisted when an emergency arises. However, State Farm did not fulfilled their responsibility of providing roadside assistance...

    In the end, all I received were apologies, but still end up paying for "storage fees" that I would not have incurred if State Farm only fulfilled their RESPONSIBILITY. Emergency Roadside Assistance? Not when it's not delivered... Re-frame: Roadside Assistance (where and where State Farm chooses to).

I arrived at Gerber and was greeted by a ** male who introduced himself as Brain. Brain immediately stated speaking to me in an very unprofessional and rude tone when he asked for my keys. I handed my keys to him as he proceeded to exit the waiting area heading outside. It was raining and he ordered me to go outside with him while he perform the inspection. I did follow him out, but realized that the rain was coming down a little heavy so I covered my head with my scarf.

    I was thinking that Brain would move my vehicle into a more covered area but, he did not he proceeded with his idea of an inspection. I began to feel wet and cold in the rain so, I told Brain I was going to sit in the waiting room. Brain yelled, "Well where are the damages?" I asked Brain did receive any of the claim information and he responded, "Yeah it's right here in my hand." Feeling uncomfortable by his behavior I turned and walked back into the building to the waiting area.

    Maybe 15 minutes later Brain walked back into the building and walked right up on me talking in a very loud manner and aggressive tone stating, "That's not hail damage. That's vandalism! Looks like someone to a hammer to that vehicle." I was shocked and frighten by his conduct. I stated to Brain that my vehicle was not vandalized and the damages to my vehicle occurred during the rain storm.

    Brain's voice got louder and then stated, "Georgia doesn't get hail storms and I will not write this estimate as storm damages. What is it that you want a check?" I was terrified and paralyze I could not breathe nor move I called the police. The policeman stated there was no crime or verbal threat/ assault so he could not be arrested, but a police report was done and I learned that Brain was not the guy name it was Craig.

    I contacted State Farm and have not received any professional assistance. They did not address the bad service I received nor offered any apology. State Farm have failed to communicate pertinent information to me concerning my claim such as photos and any documents, to conduct a reasonable investigation of my claim, and have offered me substantially less money to settle my claim than the true value of my claim. I did go to Nalley Lexus and receive an estimate that State Farm is refusing to consider. If I could give State Farm no stars I would. Beware consumers. State Farm is a rip off and dishonest business that should be put out of business forever.

A stranger who works for State Farm used her phone to call for me because I didn't have my phone. They told me to wait by my car. They would have someone there in 40 mins. So I did. An hour passed.

    They had actually gone to the gas station next not to the address I had given them to the Kroger gas station. They said that they would have to turn around and come back.

    In December 2016, I was shopping for a car for my son. As a single parent, I always ensure that I can afford/manage the payments of things before purchasing or financing. I had found a car but before finalizing the deal I wanted to know how much my insurance would cost with my son as the driver. Take into consideration that I am well aware that adding a teenager to auto insurance is expensive.

    I call the after hour agent to get the quote, the gentlemen was very polite. I gave him all the information that he requested including my sons name, date of birth, and drivers license number. After working through the numbers, he came back with a reasonable quote that I approved of. Because I had not finalized if I was going to purchase the car, I did not finalize the quote over the phone but he put the information in the system if I called back.

    I decided to purchase the car and my agent called me the following Monday to ask about calling in over the weekend. He found the information that the agent had entered. To my disappointment I was told that the gentleman quoted the wrong amount (on a "recorded line"). The amount was going to be more than twice the amount. Now, thanks to State Farm Insurance I am paying more for insurance than I am a car payment. It's not my fault your agent quoted the wrong price... A loyal customer for 14 years.

The body shop that they selected for me was extremely busy so they took my car to another location and to be fixed and then said they would call me when the vehicle was returned to the location at which I originally dropped it off. Well the vehicle was finished at the second body shop on a Friday at 5 in the evening and said that they would most likely have it at the other shop on Saturday and they would call me when I could pick it up.

    Now they never called on Saturday and were closed on Sunday. I called the shop on Monday to ask if I could pick up my car and they said yes it was ready to go. Now I go to drop off the rental car and they said that it was only covered through Friday since that was when the service was completed. I called State Farm and they say sorry, but there is nothing they can do and I have to cover the extra days of the rental car.

    I rear ended by a State Farm insured two weeks before thanksgiving. I called State Farm promptly after the accident to set up a claim and so that get the damage repaired to my vehicle. I was told to make an appointment with one of their preferred collision centers. I chose Caliber Collision because my husband previously used them because was in accident a few weeks before mine and he received excellent customer service from Caliber Collision but in a different location. The location I chose did not reciprocate quite the same experience. It took forever for State Farm to receive my estimate; the claims department received the market value of the car before the estimate.

    After two weeks, I had to go the Caliber Collision and make the rep Michael resend to State Farm while I was in front of him. I waited a few minutes and then proceed to call State Farm to check if the claim department received the document pertaining to the estimate, they informed me that it was received and due to GA law my car would be a total loss because price to fix it was over the market value price. I explained to the rep Jessica that the estimate was including parts of the car that was not damaged in the accident. She was rude and starting to saying even if she took stuff off the estimate it would be a loss in order to insist that I drop the claim or take money not worth the price of my car and be without transportation.

    State Farm just wants to total my car out and give me next to nothing to get another. During that process I would be without a car. I came into this accident with a perfectly working car that had some cosmetic flaws and now being left a solution that will not benefit at all. If I were to try and drive my car right now, there would be no problem because it is in perfect working condition minus the cosmetic dents and scratches that State Farm wants to use in order to consider my car a total loss.

The agent is not honest and the things he has said and done do not match up. I believe he was trying to get extra payment even after it was verified that I cancelled.

She hydroplaned and slid down an embankment to land sideways against a tree. The fire department had to cut our little girl out of the vehicle and rush her to the hospital. After surgery and physical therapy, we expected State Farm to pay their medical portion and our health insurance was supposed to cover the rest. 6,000 was left after our personal insurance covered the bulk of the bill.

    It is now Late November of 2016 and we are still fighting the insurance company to pay this bill. We have been told the hospital did not send in the right form. We faxed it twice when the first time they said they did not receive it. I finally thought (in August 2016) they had completed the paperwork and were going to be paid, until our daughter said it is now delinquent and on her credit report as not paid. I am so tired of begging a company to honor their agreement when I have been paying higher premiums for this accident.

I told the person that my car was hit in the rear from an angle because he was changing lanes. The trunk used to open with the key fob, since the accident it doesn't open without grabbing the trunk or tapping the trunk to get it to open. The key fob is the only thing we use to open the trunk since we bought it. The only damage that was on the trunk was the rusted scratch on the top surface, it was there when I bought the car, it was from something that broke the back window before we owned the car.

    The person hit my car in the rear from an angle because he was changing lanes when I stopped because of a Hollywood Police officer stopping traffic to allow a person that he had stopped to give a ticket. Your company is denying the trunk to be fixed/straighten and painted and fixed so that it will open again correctly, with the key fob button or the key. All I want is to have my car fixed correctly. I'm not expecting a new car. I just want it fixed correctly, but for some reason they say that by viewing the pictures that it wasn't caused by the accident. I mean the vehicle that rear ended me was considered totaled. I don't understand how they don't figure this was caused by this accident.

All of which have stated that I need two spinal fusion surgeries as a result of the accident. State Farm has yet to give me a dime. They only made me a settlement offer of $11K when I had already accrued over $20K in medical bills.

I am no longer active like I was pre-accident. I have gained 30 lbs. so far. I am now on anti-depressants & blood pressure medications. In fact, my prescriptions cost almost $2K per month. They refuse to pay for my medical expenses even though their driver T-Boned the vehicle that I was in and was cited for the accident.

    Prior to the accident, I had no medical conditions nor had I ever filed an injury claim in my life. I was 41 at the time of the accident. I am 45 now. I've had to retain an attorney that charges 40% plus fees & expenses to file suit. If you are ever involved in an auto accident, you better pray that the at fault driver is not insured by State Farm.

    When finished with the call I was satisfied but, I am still dissatisfied with the company itself. The issue I have is with the company being competent on taking payments. I myself have a company and like being paid. Evidently State Farm Insurance does not like being paid but, on the other hand they like sending out, month after month, cancellation notices because they do not know how to follow directions on where to pull the money from. I have heard from other State Farm Insurance customers about them having the same stupid issue. The exact issue is our payment, for around a year, had been coming out of our account through our debit card account.

    One day we got a cancellation notice for the past month not being paid. It showed on our account that it had been paid because our card showed the date was expired on our card, which they said it showed that because it was on auto withdraw so we just needed to submit our new card's expiration date and number. We gave them the new information, however the debit card number stayed the same cause it was from the (duh) same account, only difference was it had a new expiration date. We paid the payment during that phone call and the policy never canceled. The next month guess what... The same thing happened!

    We received a cancellation notice and guess why. This is where the incompetence part comes in. Because they used the old card's expiration number. So we again called and got it straightened out (or so we thought) and again paid the payment during that phone call. They assured that this would not happen again. Then we talked with other State Farm Customers and they told us that we should not have that problem if we called and submitted our bank account and routing number. They also stated that the same thing happened with them and they were very frustrated with the occurrence.

    When we contacted State Farm Insurance about what we found out, they told us we would have to fill out a form stating all the needed information and submit it to our agent. This was done in a timely fashion before our next payment was due so they would have the information in time. Then on November 10, 2016 they sent out another cancellation notice. Mind you our payments are due on the 3-4th of every month. I called 1-800-728-8338 and they even had the information that was submitted on paper to get it to be taken out of our account through our banking and routing number. The number they transferred me to had the same information too. After it was all said and done they took my payment and again was told that this was not going to happen again. We will see.

    If it does then I'm done with them being my good neighbor. I will take my House, 2017 Pacifica, 2005 Ram, 2004 Miata, and 2 boats to another company. Also this year we are planning on getting a 2017 Ram and purchasing another house and making one a rental, we are also thinking about opening up a business. All of this will need to be insured and they will lose all that business from us and others that think like we do and we will sure tell them and refer them to another company. So if there are other insurance companies that read these reviews then look on here again around the 10th of December because I will put out contact information for one to contact me and get my business, because obviously this company does not want it.

    Very pleased with Team Manager Kathryn **. Due to several hours difference in time zones (Eastern versus Hawaii) had difficulty connecting. Once made voice to voice contact she was very responsible and very fair. The claim representative assigned to work on comparable vehicles and the offer made subsequently was very fair. Agent's office - great.

    I have a total theft claims and have been trying to receive a call back from a Team Manager for the total loss team in Winterhaven Florida. I missed the last call from the team manager on Monday 11/7 as I was driving in Chicago traffic at the time she called. I have left several phone messages and still no call back. The theft loss was 9/21 and the initial contact from State Farm claims was not timely. The 30-day waiting period in the case of a total theft for contact from the total loss unit was also not timely. An offer was made on 10/31/2016 and it was not based on comparable vehicles. The stolen Utility Vehicle had 20 hours on it and the offer made was approximately $1,400 less than the purchase price. The vehicle has been garaged since purchase and was in excellent shape (the offer was based on average shape).

    I am displeased with State Farm claims in this case. The current phone system makes it impossible to ask for another Team Manager to help in the case where Kathryn ** is not calling me back. I am a long-time (39-year) policyholder and have never had difficulties such as this before. The agent is not the problem--they have been very responsive.

    I was the victim of a car accident caused by a woman who was insured by State Farm Insurance. She was texting on her cellular and damn near killed me (totaled my car). As I worked through the process of State Farm covering my rental car needs -- they specifically sent me to their "preferred" rental car agency (Hertz). I was assured that everything was taken care of and all that I needed to do was show up, provide my Driver's license and a credit card for any incidentals and/or damages. I was NOT told to bring my insurance (who by the way and ironically is also State Farm Insurance). Instead I was simply instructed by Hertz (and State Farm) to sign Hertz' paperwork and take the car.

    When I turned the car back in -- I was charged $336 for Hertz' insurance on the rental. WTF? State Farm specifically sent me to their "preferred" Hertz, under the good faith understanding that I was 100% covered... Hertz deceived me and stole $336... and State Farm went along with it. Collusion and Corruption at its best. I have been loyal customer of State Farm's for 30 years now. However due to this greed and deception -- I am in the process of canceling all of my policies with State Farm Insurance. Remember the catchy tune, "Like a good neighbor -- State Farm is there." Hardly. The tune should be changed to... "Like a Greedy Corporation -- State Farm WASN'T there."

    My most recent experience with State Farm policy left me very bitter. State Farm was our insurance company for home and auto mobile coverage for over the past two decades. My husband and I have separate auto mobile insurance policies. Recently, one of my husband's old vehicles covered under his own individual State Farm policy started to break down required towing more than a few times. I was not aware of this towing issue as I never drove the car. Well I received a letter of notice in the mail from State Farm stating my policy would not be renewed. I was shocked and was sure it was a mistake as I've had one claim with State Farm which was the other driver's fault.

    After speaking to my agent I learned that all people living in the same house suffer the same consequences for the actions of any drivers in the house regarding insurance coverage. Put it this way I was held responsible and liable for what I believe state farm considered excessive towing regardless of my driving record. State Farm discounted my driving record and now I will have pay higher insurance rates.

    Additionally, the towing of a out of commission car should not be a risk comparable to a claim against State Farm involving a moving vehicle. I'm thoroughly disappointed with State Farm and the method of informing me of their decision for nonrenewal using a form letter, when after 25 years of loyalty to State Farm I was not told this information via courtesy of a phone call. My advice to others looking for insurance, ask hard questions when searching for insurance and be aware of terms such as the one I described before choosing your insurance provider. So much for individual driver's record! Unfair!!!

    I have been a State Farm Customer for 25 years with no claims. I was rear-ended by a young distracted driver who slammed into my vehicle in a sideways slide and put me in the hospital. This young driver had minimal insurance. His insurance company paid for my vehicle repairs and car rental and as much of my medical as his policy limits allowed. Unfortunately my medical bills exceeded what his insurance could pay so I then tried to file a claim with my own company, State Farm, since I carried under-insured motorist coverage. State Farm would not even respond to this claim. Finally I had my attorney file suit against State Farm to get them to respond. My medical bills were close to $27k. State Farm offered to pay $2k. When I refused to accept that they began all kinds of depositions.

    In those depositions I was grilled like I was some type of criminal. Accused of many things and told they would bring up a lot of previous medical conditions at trial all of which had absolutely nothing to do with my injuries from the collision. This was the most absurd and degrading thing I had been through in my entire life. And this was my own insurance company, the Good Neighbor From Hell. I finally settled with State Farm for far less than my medical bills and lost wages in order to avoid the huge stress of going through a trial. I have since found a new insurance company, canceled my 25-year State Farm policy, and will never ever recommend State Farm to anybody again.

    On June 1st a drunk driver insured by State Farm (Tennessee), after being refused service at a liquor store because he was drunk, drove across 4 lanes of traffic and crashed through the store where I worked. He injured myself and a customer. For 6 months I endured physical therapy and pain. I even attempted to make my life normal by trying to return to work.

    State Farm maintained their stance on maximum personal injury payout without considering the fact that future medical problems will be forthcoming (due to the impact being behind me) nor taking into consideration the trauma this caused. You see these videos on tv of vehicles crashing through buildings, however nothing compares to actually experiencing it first hand. The driver was so drunk, when he got out the car, he couldn't believe it either. He looked around and said "I messed up". Shame on you State Farm. I'm sure your policyholder is happy. His life went on as usual while I continue to try and put my life back together.

    Going on over 4 months of avoidance and refusal to return phone calls. Briefly, they 1st accused us of insurance fraud and said this was our totaled Jeep because it had the identical frame damage. I hit black ice in February on I-90 and my son and I spun into the center cement median and my first Jeep was totaled. I had 2 back surgeries in March and April so my mother flew in to help. My mom and my daughter were going to visit relatives and she was rear-ended in my new Jeep and slammed into the vehicle in front of her. We purchased this Jeep March 17, 2016 from a dealer and it was in perfect condition. Now after I proved that I updated my info and that they were entirely incorrect, State Farm is claiming that there was previous frame damage before we bought it. Another appraiser was supposed to be here a week ago today. I have left countless messages with Patrice ** with not one return phone call.

    I now have a bungee cord holding down my front hood so it doesn't fly into the windshield. It’s only a matter of time before a disaster happens. The Jeep is all over the road and I have to hold on with a death grip to avoid going out of control. I have no other means of transportation so I have no choice but to use my Jeep. State Farm has broken promise after promise. Defamed us with their accusations. I have no means of contacting State Farm because every other person I call says that I have to speak to Patrice **. State Farm is playing games with our lives and yet they keep collecting the premium. State Farm is doing everything possible to avoid us and I am left with no choice but to find another means to rectify this.

    On November 25 I was driving on the 395 in Virgina when I was struck by a woman who have State Farm insurance. I called State Farm on the spot so as to make sure this person is insured by them and the policy in good standing and I was told yes and was given a number to the claims department and I did. I was told I would get a call back within an hour however that never happen. The next day at 5:00 pm I got a call back informing the claim denied because they could not find anyone with the policy number. So I call her agent and pretend I was interested in getting a policy so I ask the agent if they know this person is and I was told yes so I break the news to them. I was calling because I was struck by her and the claims department could not find the policy number for this person. I was placed on hold and after the agent return I was told the policy number I had is just temporary number and was given a different number.

    I call back the claims office and give them the updated information. I was told again they will call be back. They had to speak with the client. I said ok and they did and they are going to take full responsibility. And was given list of shops so I ask to please email the list and was told sure but that never happen. After a week I took it to Caliber Collision for estimate. I was ask if I had some kind of number. I told them no I though since I have the title to the car they would pay me and then I would pay the shop but because it is one of their choice shop they refuse to accept the estimate for the repair.

    After spending 20 minutes with one of their agents I ask to speak with a manager. I was put on hold again. When the Manager got on the phone I ask why they would accept the estimate and was told it is because that is what get because that is what you get when you come off the street and I have to have to be seen by one of their adjuster. I was furious because this is one of the approved shops. I then threaten to sue. I was then told if the shop would let State Farm Adjuster look at my estimate and would work with his adjustment I told them that was between them. So I thought about what was going on. So I decided to have State Farm adjuster take a look at it and have an independent shop take a look at my car.

    So my husband had several accidents in the past few years. He had two no fault accidents but they preceded to cancel my grown son's insurance policy as well as ours! The last accident was due to passing out from a rare drug injection reaction that never to happened before or after. In that accident he drove into the corner of a porch of an old house and hit the outer corner post.

    The women said that they were canceling my son's insurance because they agreed to replace the entire porch that his dad drove into. He did not damage the entire front porch though it was old and the homeowner herself said it had been in need of work. I have pictures from the incident.

    Had an accident and waited 2 weeks for someone. State they will be totaling my vehicle. I returned the phone call and took 7 days for a return call. Several calls from me to get in touch with someone took weeks. My last promise was a return call the same day until I tried to contact again 10 days later and still no resolve. After all the runaround and no response I finally had my first offer on the last day of week 6 and the settlement check will take more days into week 7. So I have been continuing my rental and State Farm is not going to cover this added time. They think the delay is only 2 weeks. NOT on week 7. So now I am to get another truck from out of state and be on the road while the mail time is not part of their coverage. Never received anything in writing.

    Apparently they have not reviewed their own mission. DIRECTLY from State Farm website/ company overview; "A mutual company focused on their Policyholders. Mecherle's original vision for State Farm to operate fairly and do the right thing for our customers. While his vision still guides us today, our continued mission is to be the first and best choice." Apparently they need to have a team meeting to get back on track or change their mission to cheat policyholders. All while Mecherle turns over in his grave. Still waiting.

    I had been having problems with my previous insurance company so I called State Farm for a quote. For liability, PIP and UIM on my primary vehicle and storage insurance on my other two vehicles I was quoted $354 for six months. I agreed to this and paid it. When I called for the quote I told the agent I had a 2-year-old ticket and he said it was not affecting my rate. One month later I got a bill saying I owed another $78. I called the agent and he said it was because of that ticket and started saying I told him I have never had a ticket. After arguing with him and the company directly I finally paid it and notified them I would not be renewing with them when it comes due and filed complaints with BBB and my state's insurance commission. Now they are saying I owe another $3.28.

    I called to get car insurance. I spent 40 min on the phone with someone for them to tell me I wasn't eligible to get car insurance from them? I have a almost perfect driving record. I got a ticket when I was 19 for speeding under 10 over. When I asked why she said, "Maybe it was your credit score." Now I do not have excellent but it is average and yes I am to date with my credit score. Then she said "well your husband has had two accidents maybe that is why." Ok my husband already has State Farm which is why I was going to switch with them and he wouldn't even be on my policy for insurance just as a maybe driver because we are married. So I asked how could my husband's driving record go against me if he already has State Farm and he's isn't under my policy? So pretty much I got turned down for nothing and they could not tell me why. Useless crap of a company.

    I was rear ended on 9/27/16 by a lady insured with State Farm that's her own stupidity. There was at least a 4 car length gap between us and she still couldn't stop. I got an appointment with my chiropractor to have him do x-rays. Sure enough my collar bone was twisted and out of alignment, spine and skull out of alignment and he had trouble keeping hips in place. I took my truck to highly recommended auto repair shop, got estimate of 1550. State Farm then dictates to me that I have to take it to one of their preferred auto body shops and have their inspector look at it. Well he does his estate and proceeds to say that some of the damage was done in a previous wreck. I told him no, the truck has not been wrecked. Then he gives me the estimate and says that he going to go to his big screen to make sure he hadn't missed anything. This was lie number 2.

    He comes back and tries to give me a check!! I said "no I'm not accepting that check or this estimate. It is crock of crap." And I left. I figured I would get a phone call from State Farm but I didn't. But a few days later I get something in the mail from State Farm. It was the estimate and a check. Now if I didn't accept the check the first time what made them think I would take it the second time. All State Farm thinks about is settling the property damage case and keep their claims low dollar wise in order to keep their bonuses high. It does Matter to them that their inspector lied on the estimate but he is now saying he has to put it on the rack. I said no he doesn't. The other could plainly see all the damage was done by this one accident.

    I have been in contact with the local news media to try and get them to investigate State Farm. I am also filing complaints with the BBB and the attorney generals office. I haven't done anything with the check. I get furious every time I think about this BS. Does the victim no longer have any rights when they are involved in a wreck especially when it's not their fault? I have the right to take it wherever I want to and also have the right to have new parts put on instead of "recycled parts". I would not have or recommend State Farm to my worst enemy!!!

    State Farm is the WORLD'S largest insurance company. One thing consumers do not think about is how State Farm insures the rich and the famous, movie companies, production companies. They drive cars, have businesses, so they need insurance also! That said, I had a business policy with State Farm Insurance and like most on this page, I was a State Farm customer for 20+ years. I sued a celebrity for a minimal amount, a counter suit was filed and I depended on State Farm to provide me with defense.

    The claim was originally in small claims court. The State Farm appointed attorney tried to convince me to move the case from small claims to civil court, with no benefit to me. But a huge benefit to the countersuit as the damages would increase from 10K to (Are you ready) 4 Million Dollars! If I were stupid, but no I'm not. SO I kept the case in small claims court. (The State Farm attorney by the way, told me that they were not taking me seriously.) Too bad!

    That said, State Farm stole my information related to my initial claim, (because State Farm was not defending me on my initial claim, State Farm was defending me on the counterclaim). The State Farm appointed attorney took information from me on my initial claim and gave it to the defendant's attorney, (The person I was suing). State Farm did nothing to help me on the counterclaim and instead, just wrote a check to them. Paid them. No problem, no proof, it was fraud. Did not matter.

    How hard is it for you to get your car fixed, a rental, a tow? Yeah! State Farm stopped communicating with me. I was NOT Included in the settlement negotiations. I had no say over my own policy. The Director of Claims told me he was NOT going to defend me and I fired the State Farm appointed attorney. The State Farm appointed attorney simply stopped gathering information from me and continued to work on the case with them. Yes. So why am I telling you this. This insurance giant, State Farm does not give a damn about you, your years of paying for a policy, which after you keep an insurance policy for more than 1 year, your premium becomes PURE PROFIT for any insurance company.

    WHY is it this way...Because we as consumers and customers let companies like State Farm get away with treating you like the unimportant person that you are! We let companies get away with treating your neighbor like crap, your son like crap, your wife, mom, sister, brother, friend and then you...yes you get treated like crap! What can I do. Heck let's be honest, no one can beat State Farm's rates, no one! I added my home to my auto insurance policy and I pay $62.00 a month for auto insurance, down from $119 per month, for two cars! Who can beat that! WHO? Yeah, I kept State Farm for my car and home. I dropped them for my business. I use to work in the insurance industry and I know that no one, no one, can beat State Farm's rates if you meet the qualifications for their preferred company.

    I've learned a thing or two about insurance companies over the last 20 years. You have to know your rights, if you can get an attorney or seek help through your state OAG (Office of Attorney General), do so. To be honest, at the end of the day, it's about the money I save. I've learned to accept racist and sexist behavior and being treated like I'm less than from State Farm Insurance. State Farm tells you on the phone how much they appreciate your business, but...when you need them, you see how low on the pole you really are! After all, they are the world's largest insurance company...and who the hell are we! To State Farm...we are NOBODY!
