I have been with State Farm insurance for over 30 years. I have NEVER had an issue with them. Pay my bills on time and have insured many vehicles and homes over the past 30 years. So now in my senior years I have decided to travel and stay a bit in places to find out where I want to retire. I am lucky that my work has taken me to a few states in the past year. The problem started when I rented an apartment in Oregon and got rental insurance. I was HARASSED for about 2 weeks with phone calls with agents calling me wanting to know what I was doing with the house.
When I told them that my son was going to live in the house and I would be paying for it. The agent started to questioning me on how old my son was and was it legal to leave him. He is 25 years old and a college student. I help out by paying the mortgage so he can attend college. WHAT BUSINESS is it for State Farm to know my personal life. I pay the mortgage and the insurance. After two weeks of me going all the way to the owner of the franchise I got the issue resolved. I was pretty much called a liar.
Now 9 months later I am in Texas. I made the MISTAKE (and don't do this if you don't want to be harassed) of changing my address online. Within three days after (and I hadn't even made it to Texas yet) I get harassing emails threatening to cancel my insurance unless I call and tell them what I am doing and my intent. I would think that as a mature adult I would call and let them know when I arrived in Texas OR they would see that I have another rental insurance policy and cancelled the other one. Now I have been receiving more THREATENING CALLS STATING THEY WILL CANCEL MY HOMEOWNER'S POLICY IF I DON'T call them back and tell them what I am doing with my house. Why would anything change? And if it did I would have notified them. I don't need babysitting. Looking for another company.

I recently switched to State Farm because the price they quoted me for my premium was less than what I was paying currently. I paid for half my premium upfront. When I went online to check my account it said it was still in the underwriting process. I called and the rep said sometimes it takes a couple of days. I checked back a week later and realized they raised my premium without telling me. I called to cancel and to find out why I was not notified that my premium would be increased. The rep I spoke to said he would cancel and refund my money.
It has now been two weeks and 6 phone calls later. I have not received my money and I recently found out the rep only canceled the policy on one car instead of both. Today I called and the rep said only one car was processed and she did not know when the other would be done. I have tried complaining through the proper channels but it has not worked. All I want is my money back and to have nothing more to do with that company. Currently they are still billing me for one of my cars even though I canceled a week ago.
Updated on 03/04/2016: As an update to my ongoing battle with this insurance company: I was just informed that even though I purchased my insurance policy on the 11th they did not update the actual price until the 19th. They sent me no notices. I found out on the 22nd that my policy had been increased and cancelled immediately. Now they are saying I am not entitled to a full refund because they covered me from the 11th. So I said how bout I get my money back from the 19th. Nikki in underwriting said they could not do that because even though they finished processing on the 19th it still actually goes back to the 11th.
Now my questions are: Why does it take 8 days to get a motor vehicle report and update my policy? Why was I not notified of the change in policy amount? Why am I still receiving mail from State Farm as though I am still insured by them? Why is it taking so long to get this resolved? How far are they willing to go with this because I see no other option but to take it to court? I already have a full-time job, can someone please take over and resolve this before it gets any messier than it needs to get?

I have been a member for over 30 years with no claims. I had a moving violation in Sept. 2014, ever since that my insurance doubled! It went from $68.00, to $126.00. I was told this was because of the moving violation and that I had moved in the past year and a half. I can't believe moving would make my insurance go up $25.00 a month, and the difference was for the moving violation. I definitely would not recommend State Farm, they treat their long term customers like crap! I definitely will be looking for another insurance company and if you want loyalty from an insurance company, don't pick State Farm. The longer you are a customer, the worse they treat you!

My daughter was taking her daughter to school on 2/22/16, and this woman hit her car, stunned it around, hit her again. My granddaughter hurt on crutches. My daughter cut in face, mild concussion and State Farm took the woman statement and determined it was my daughter's fault. She said she didn't stop at the stop sign. How would she know that if she hit them and adjuster determined by the woman statement. No they stop creep out and she was speeding and hit them twice. They was rushed to hospital. He makes a conclusion by her statement without looking at the police report. There was witnesses that seen the woman hit them. I'm filing a report against State Farm Insurance co adjuster for accident on my daughter’s claim, and reporting a fair investigation!

State Farm is a horrible insurance company. Me and my wife were violently hit at 50 miles per hour. The other driver ran a red light and admitted fault to his insurance company and police. My wife had severe bruising all over abdomen area and was taken to hospital. We both saw doctor and chiropractic and we both have a herniated disc. We need to take injections in our neck in future. We have 14k in medical bills and 9 months later State Farm only wants to pay for medical bills and no pain and suffering and pay for our injuries. They are a horrible company that refuses to compensate us fairly. Looks like the lawyer is gonna have to take them to court. A lawsuit against State Farm is the only way we will ever be treated with dignity and respect.

Not happy with their cancellation system. Have been with State Farm for over 30 years. Our teenage son is now considered high risk because of two traffic violations so they cancelled him. Was told they only insure premium drivers so we cancelled everything (home, jewelry & auto) on 2/19/16. Their system adds one day to ensure no lapse in coverage. I assured them we were completely covered on 2/19 so they could use that date. Didn't budge. They also took the monthly premium out of my checking account 3 days after I cancelled. When I called about it, they assured me I would get a refund check for the days not used. I asked if it would be from the 19th or 20th and she said 20th. This is truly unacceptable. It should be from the 19th. I am an adult and very capable of determining my cancellation date. I tried locating an email to the corporate office, but didn't find anything.

Was involved in auto accident in which the other driver was at fault. The other driver was insured by State Farm. I submitted all the appropriate paperwork in a timely manner however, almost 10 months later, they have not paid any of my medical expenses. I call or fax information to the agent and they do not return calls.

I have been with State Farm for over 25 years. The problem started when after many years of one car drove in summer one in winter. When I would call to take car 1 off car 2 would be put on. This had been done for several years. I ended up in a hail storm and hydroplanes into a Jersey barrier totaling my car. Thus finding out at that point they had taken car 1 off failing to put car 2 on. Instead gave my kids 2000.00 car full coverage. They REFUSED to make good on their error leaving me with pax and driver medical bill.
NOW JUMP 4 years later. I have 4 cars insured. 2 of the cars were not to have collision. After totaling a car that I had insured for maybe 6 months we find out that NONE OF OUR CARS had collision. We had specifically asked about collision for this particular car Jaguar XKR and a Corvette Convertible. Neither had collision. I am appalled that after close to a 30-year relationship as well as my parents being 30 plus customers they say it's our error and we eat over 20,000.00 in cost. Could their agent possibly make a mistake? Only the customer gets it wrong!
I'm thinking a Divorce is in order. How many people have I recommended to them and how much money have I paid out in premiums as well as my parents? Homeowner policy's, multiple cars kids and they put a price on what the relationship is worth. Sooo Saaad! I'm still hopeful that they will do the right thing. Crossing fingers. Will keep you updated. Do they have my backache? Hopefully they will restore my trust. We shall see.

I've been a policy holder for 30 years, averaging one minor claim per decade. When my current agent failed to communicate basic information I complained to corporate but got nothing beyond a robo-email acknowledgement. Any company that cannot pick up the phone to listen after collecting mid-5-figure revenue over a 30-year association DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS.

My husband and I have been customers of State Farm for over 15 years. We had 5 cars and our home covered by them at one time. After 15 years we file a claim on our home owners policy due to our house having lightning run through it and ruin many appliances/TV's etc. They decide immediately to drop us after that. They really stand behind their customers!! NOT!! So glad to move on and away from them. Will tell EVERYONE I know to never use them!!

Have had State Farm Insurance for over 40 years but last year they blamed my daughter for an accident that I don't believe was her fault and then they said there was damage previously. I have pictures and I tried on 3 occasions to talk with them. In so many word they basically called me a liar about the previous damage. Now I have high rates for 3 years - Thanks A.J., you're finished, time to take out the trash and find a good company.

Drags feet getting claims paid. It has been 3 months with no dispute who was at fault. They still have not paid hospital bill that is going into collections.

He also had a couple minor accidents after that in which we were informed was below the limit for our rates to go up, and then we get a letter from State Farm that they are dropping our policies... WTF. State Farm are you really out there for profit instead of making a good name for yourselves?

State Farm Review: I have had auto insurance through State Farm for most of my life because my parents had State Farm on all of their cars and house adding the Million Dollar Umbrella for extra protection and assurance. Well let me begin, I had an auto accident in 2009 where I was struck by an uninsured driver. She rear ended me at a low speed but caused some back and neck pain which I had treated by the local chiropractor. After completion of my care I was left with a sore shoulder. Upon MRI of the shoulder it showed that was having some degeneration that required surgery.
Fast forward 2016. Yes, 7 years later State Farm has finally settled the claim. After telling me that the injury was not caused by the accident and that my lost wages were not part of the losses and that my case was worth ZERO to them. I had lost wages at $90K and a need for surgery at 50K with pain and suffering for 7+ years. My parents paid State Farm premiums for 45+ years with possibly 2 claims for a maximum of about 5K. After some prodding, State Farm offered 10K to settle this case, half went to the lawyers. I got 5K and after 7 years of pain, I am still suffering. That's right, State Farm did not pay for my surgery or lost wages.
If you have State Farm or are thinking about having them as your insurance company, think twice. My advice to you is to cancel your policy and find a better more reliable insurance company or not to make the mistake of choosing State Farm in the first place. Let me be clear: State Farm is a possibly the worst insurance company available for consumers to buy. Do not let them steal your premiums while not providing you peace of mind through the assurance of insurance. The assurance that you will be made whole if you have a loss that has been insured through their company. Short of this assurance, you have purchased nothing and will get nothing when you need it most. Thanks. Protect yourself and your families.

I am an international student from China. I am a currently student at University at Buffalo. My car was broken down in the US-219 Hamburg, NY, 14075 on Friday afternoon around 2:00. Then I called my insurance company "State Farm". They sent a towing and towing my car to 252 Main Street Hamburg, NY, 14075. Then we did a second appointment on Friday evening around 5:00 pm. We scheduled the towing service towing my car from 252 Main Street Hamburg, NY, 14075 to Auto Max (1871 Hertel ave, Buffalo, NY, 14214) by 9:30 am, February 13, 2016. At that point, I could have my car fix by that day. And I only have one car, so that I could drive to school and pick up my wife. After I did the towing payment through State Farm. I got a receipt shows clearly request.
But when I got Max auto on 9:30 February 13, 2016 I didn't see my car. And I didn't have any explanation about why is my car not reached by time as receipt shown. So, I start to making call to State Farm insurance company to ask where is my car. They gave me a phone number that I believe from towing company. So I start calling the number that they gave to me. At first, the other side of the phone didn't pick up. After few calls a guy pick up the phone and just said he is super busy and will call me back in 20 minutes. After about one and half hours. There is still nobody call me. So I called that number back. I asked why he didn't call me back. He said he is busy, and he asked me where is my car. I was confused and asked him did the insurance company talk to him. He went out some F words and I hung up the phone.
Then I called the State Farm again. They said they will call the towing service and the car is on the way. The car should be in the designation in about one and half hours. I waited for two hours and I didn't saw my car. So I called State Farm and ask why my car is still not arrived. After I explained everything all over again they said they will connect with towing service and call me back in 25 minutes, but they didn't. After two hours I call them again and explained everything all over again. They said they will connect with towing service and call me back in 20 minutes but they didn't. After another almost 2 hours I called the State Farm again and explained all over again. They said they already changed the towing service and the car is on the way, it will be here in one hour. But it never shows up.
Then I made another call for ask, just like before, I had to explained everything all over again. Then I had been told they can't connect with driver. They are not sure where the car is. They want us to make sure where is the car. I called Firestone and they closed. So there is nobody picked up. When I tried to call the insurance back my third phone is run out of battery. So I have to ask my friends "pick us up to my house." That was from 9:30 am to almost 8:00 pm. The entire day was wasted and my car is missing. Nobody knows where is my car.
I called State Farm again on February 14 2016. After I explained all over again. They said they could find out where my car is. And they gave me two numbers that might towing my car. I called them and they said they didn't towing my car. I called back to State Farm and they said they called the towing service too. And they don't know where is the car neither.
I told them it's not my fault and they didn't do their work to help me as my insurance company. I can't get my car fix because they didn't management my car to reach the place. I paid services and when I had a hard time they are not trying to help. I don't have a ride for school because their fault. And even now, they don't know where my car is. I need them to provide free rental car for me until my car get to the place like the receipt says. They said they will make a claim and I can call them back in two hours to ask decision. They also said they will report to police and see if they could find the car.
So, I waited two hours and called them back. After I explained everything all over again. They said they didn't report to police and still no one knows where my car is. Then I asked about rental car service. They said my insurance didn't coverage rental. I said "I understand I didn't pay for the rental, but the reason I am asking you to coverage my rental has nothing to do with the insurance policy I choose. The reason I need you to response is, I paid the towing service through State Farm system." The contract is to towing my car to Max auto by 9:30 am February 13 2016. And facts are not only my car did not show up, but also it is missing. Nobody knows where it is. And my insurance company told me they are sorry to hear that but they have nothing to do with any responsibility.
So, I have some points to make here. 1. As I know, the State Farm is a big company. Don't they have a file to their customers for their report? Because every time I call them, I have to explained everything all over again. And I will be transfer from customer service to "zero". Then I will be transferred to supervisor. Each time I will have to explained all over again. And I have talked to CAP, Isaac, Riana, Heidi, Jacob and other ten plus services. They have no idea what is going on and there is no claim for them to read.
2. In the end of today, I still have no idea where is my car. And they don't want to pay responsibility for my inconvenience. There is no response to discuss how to solve this problem. So, this made me think the State Farm don't have that ability as an insurance company to help their customers. What I have paid for last year, is not going to help me when I really need.
3. As an international student, I am small. I am not sure what will american citizens do in this kind of situation. But I don't want to just wait here and walking to school at frozen morning and let my wife do the same thing. It's not about I am angry. I just want to have a reasonable explanation and a reasonable settle down from the company I paid.
Because English is not my first language. And I have thinking a lot during this work, in that case I might have some problems with the grammar or vocabularies, I am really sorry if read it is bothering you. I am here to asking help, what should I do? Is it unreasonable for my request? Also I am considering those people might having same issues like me and they don't know what should they do neither. I hope there is a place we can turn to for asking help. Thanks for your time, and regards!

They just didn't help me at all. I made a claim then I sold the car just like it was so I never had the need to use the claim. And I called back to cancel my claim so I could get it erased from my record, and they told me that that wasn't gonna happen. That the claim was already done and even closed. So now every time I try to get another insurance my payments are higher because of that claim that I never even used .

I had auto insurance through State Farm through my parents, who had been customers with State Farm for 40 years. Over the course of 40 years, they insured multiple cars, a boat, their home, and their life, paying premiums I'm sure added up over the course of 40 years to a small fortune. They have had, in my 25 years of life, few claims, and even fewer significant claims. I was insured myself with them for 9 years paying $1,300 a year in premiums (that's right, $11,700) and only one claim worth $1,500 (a gross margin to State Farm of $10,200, or 87%).
Then, over the course of 18 months, someone swiped my car in a parking garage and two people damaged my parent's car. My claim was $1,500 and the two claims of my parent's were under $3,000 combined. State Farm dropped us. After 40 years. After thousands of dollars of premiums. After the insurance adjuster told us not to worry "these are small claims, your premiums won't go up." I will never conduct business with State Farm Insurance again. The purpose of insurance is to use it. To drop us after all of those years is absolutely unconscionable. Go with an insurance company that will have your back when you actually need them.

I was in a vehicle with my friend in June of 2015 and he is a current customer of State Farm Insurance and he caused a car accident. I told him about my injuries and he said to just file a claim & that he had to worry about himself so I hired a lawyer and filed a suit against State Farm. It had been 8 months and they just NOW told my lawyer what his limits were and then my case had to be settled. It has taken them over a month to tell me that they are sending my check to me so I can resume the medical costs of taking care of this injury I have received from this wreck!!
And when I called State Farm yesterday (02/07/16) at their 1-888-559-1922 number to ask some questions about my claim a representative named FRED talked to me like I was bothering him and was VERY RUDE and then told me I needed to have told him all of the info on my case so he wouldn't have to read the whole file!! My main point is that State Farm seems to care MORE about THEIR customers than the people that THEIR CUSTOMERS HURT!!

I purchased a car in mid October of 2015 from a car dealer and got my car insured right there thru State Farm. This is in New York. 2 weeks later, I was called by the agent at State Farm and asked for several forms of proof of residence. I sent them in. 2 weeks after that, I received a letter from State Farm stating that my insurance was being cancelled 11-19-15. I called the broker and he told me that it was because I had not provided enough pieces of proof of residence and I needed to send him 2 more before the cancellation date (which was 4 days later) in order for him to submit it to the underwriting department. I asked him again what else I could possibly send, having already submitted several documents of proof of residence. The broker told me he would speak to his manager and get back to me. Calls to his office over the next several days were not returned.
I called the local State Farm office where I live and explained this entire situation to the manager of this local office - Jessica **, daughter of the broker. She told me to file a complaint with State Farm thru their 800 number and she would be happy to be my broker if I wished to switch my insurance to her father's office. I called the 800 number at State Farm and they created an investigation/file and gave me a reference # and based on the date - cancellation date being the next day, promised to get back to me by the next day with an answer. State Farm did not get back to me the next day. I called the broker again... several times rebuffed by someone in the office telling me that the broker was not there. Then I got a call back from them, not the broker, but someone in their office.
They told me that yes, my insurance had been terminated that day and advised me to get insurance somewhere else and that I was in violation for not having insurance and I should have sent in a copy of my tax returns with my address as proof of residence. And when I told them, "are you kidding me? The year before, I lived somewhere else, I would not have my new address on my last year's tax returns" their response was, "you should have thought about it." After this incredulous conversation, I called back the local State Farm again, Bill ** in Farmingdale, where I live. I spoke to Herbert, who had already been apprised of the situation by Jessica, the manager. He insured me thru his office, took my credit card info, charged me and sent via email my temporary ins. Card. This was followed up the next day by me, going to the office and they taking pictures of my car and me, once again submitting proof of residence to this office.
On that Monday, I went back to the office to meet my agent, Herbert and to give him additional pieces of proof of residence. Herbert scanned the copies, placed them in his system and told me, that everything was good and that I would be receiving a letter within the next several days from State Farms underwriting department that everything was cleared and my insurance carrier was accepting me. Two days later, I received my hard copy of my policy with my insurance cards. 3 days later on a letter dated 12/4/15, I received a letter from the underwriter at State Farm, telling me that my insurance would be terminated, effective 12-27-15.
Upon receipt of this letter, I immediately called Herbert, who assured me that I was insured and that it was just a letter that had crossed prior to underwriting receiving all my documentation from him. I told him, that after what had happened the last time, I was concerned that this was so. He said he understood my concerns and that he would call underwriting and confirm everything was good and call me back. He called me back within the hour and told me that he had spoke to underwriting and it was just a letter that crossed and my insurance was not being cancelled and all was good.
On January 27, 2016, I received a letter dated January 22, 2016 from the NYS DMV informing me that they were notified by State FARM that as of 12-27-15, my liability insurance was terminated with State Farm and that, I need to provide proof of insurance with another company and or turn in my plates and my drivers license can be suspended.... and so on.
I immediately called State Farm. The office called me back and assured me that I am insured and Herbert, who was not in the office was aware of this and it was taken care of and that he would call me on Monday. He did not call me on Monday, so I called him. He put me on hold, came back a moment later and said "oh Looks like your insurance was cancelled". I raced down to his office where he and then his manager Jessica, Bill **'s daughter went into damage control and denied telling me that I was insured and said I was no longer a customer and needed to leave their office. Immediately went to State Farm's 800 number and opened up an investigation, with urgent and immediate attention needed. This was on February 3rd.
No response by the 4th, a second call into State Farm with their reference #. They are working on it and tell me they have all my information including my documenting of the phone calls and conversations back and forth between me and Herbert and the local State Farm office. I get a call back from them at 4 pm on February 5th telling me that underwriting is not reinstating my policy and according to underwriting, they never received any documentation of proof of residence for me. And I am further told that Jessica and Herbert are claiming that I was fraudulently trying for a lower rate of insurance by saying I lived in a different location than I actually lived!
State Farm opened up another investigation into this and told me that it will take up to 5 business days to get an answer. So. Here I sit with a 25,000 car, that has no insurance on it. I have a possible suspension of my drivers license - AND I drive for a living! Does Major Lawsuit against State Farm seem out of the question? Does loss of license to broker insurance for Bill ** seem out of line? I have been driving this car, unbeknownst to me uninsured for over a month? One major accident away from costing me my car, and my livelihood?

My parents have been customers of State Farm for decades, and my ex husband and I were able to get coverage with their agent based on their relationship despite his sketchy driving record. I have maintained my coverage with the same agent since my divorce and have my homeowner's and auto insurance through State Farm. I've never had to file a claim, but the cost of my insurance has regularly been lowered to reward my clean record. My parents have had to file a couple of claims due to hail damage and have had great experiences. When I was shopping for homeowner's insurance when I purchased my home, they were by far the lowest quote. I would highly recommend.

A client of State Farm rear-ended my car at a stop light. It has been 23 hours. I have a police report. I asked for a car to get to work since I do not want to endanger my family, myself or other motorists by driving a potentially damaged car. After 4 contacts with the company I was told that they would do nothing because "liability had not be determined".
I called my agent Sean Sorensen of Lakewood who is also with State Farm. He told me that I should rent my own car and State Farm would "probably" reimburse me because it "sounded like" it was not my fault. He said 24 hours is not enough time for his company, and he did not give me an estimated time of when they would get their job done. When I told him this was unacceptable and that I would be blogging this, he said that I would be going against the largest law firm in the country. Great client advocacy Sean.

I have been a customer for State Farm since 1984 and have religiously paid them each and every month. I pay them for insurance, which is a gamble on their part. Each time they insure someone's home or car they are gambling that the premiums I pay will be all profit. If indeed I need to make a claim, well guess what SF, you lost the bet. I made a claim regarding some strong winds had pushed over my fence recently. When Hurricane Ike came through a few years ago, SF lost their shirt and then decided to discourage the average person from making claims by doubling the deductibles for wind damage. So they told me that out of a $4200 claim they would pay $290. Nice work if you can get it, huh? So, unless you have monumental damage to your home like it was blown away into the next county, don't bother to make a claim. I am now shopping for independent carriers.

My car was damaged by a flatbed truck carrying a backhoe on its trailer; when the truck passed by me, rocks and dirt sprayed my vehicle. But the issue is I contacted the company of the truck and was talked to like I was beneath them. I had to get take them to small claims court and was awarded a third of what it cost to fix my vehicle. Now they are taking me to superior court to keep from paying that. I am from a small town name Thomaston, GA; and here there is still racial action and prejudice going on. The company that damaged my vehicle has a lawyer name Alan ** the says he is a State Farm attorney and all cases in Thomaston, Ga, he handles and makes sure that charges and claims are not paid.
I am very stressed about this matter. It has been going on since 08/18/2015, I cannot afford any attorney and he knows it and is very sure that I will lose the cases because of it. We all have to carry car insurance to fix others vehicle if we damaged them. Why is it that in this small town this State Farm agency has the right to not pay for damages of poor people? If the hands were turned I would lose everything I had to have to pay for the damages. I am writing this to let you know what is happening in the name of State Farm in Thomaston, GA. Your name is used in vain and more of less stealing and manipulating people and leaving them with damaged goods. Is Alan ** a State Farm attorney hired by you to keep from paying claims?

I have been a customer with State Farm for almost 20 years. I have never once needed anything from them b/c I don't get into accidents. A woman hit my car from behind and didn't stop. I was able to get her plate info. It took 3 months for State Farm to resolve the claim and the entire time I had to keep calling them. Not once did State Farm provide me with any communication on the status of my claim. Finally after 3 months, they hired a third party to take photos of both my car and hers. Then denied my claim, explaining that they reviewed the photos and there wasn't enough evidence from the photos to prove that she had hit my car.
How about an eyewitness as evidence? I saw this woman hit my car, followed her when she didn't stop, and obtained her plate info. During the entire process, State Farm dragged its feet. I had to call numerous times to remind them to follow through with next steps. It was a horrible experience and in the end, they didn't even fulfill their only purpose, which is to resolve claims.

A car backed to my car's front in the parking lot. The driver is a State Farm policy holder. Although State Farm accepted the liability, they refused to pay for the damage to the bumper because it has some previous scratches, which are totally cosmetic and was decided as "prior damage" by them. I happen to have two photos to show the damage to the front bumper: one taken several days before and one right after the accident. They asked me to send the photos via an email address: statefarmclaims@statefarm.com. I tried twice. The first time, the customer service said they did not successfully receive the photos. The second time, the customer service said the photos came in black and white. They were not able to use them as evidence.
Except for this, they state that it usually takes 24 hours for your photos to be received and there will be someone following up the case once they see the photos. However, this never happened to my case!! I always had to call them after waiting for a couple of days and be transferred several times until someone could really discussed the case with me. This is all so outrageous! I don't understand why it takes so long for a modern company to receive emails. I don't know how large the chance is for the colorful photos to be received in black and white if they are using a modern email service. This kind of thing never happen in my life!!! This is all too weird. If they are not using these as excuses for their own benefits, I think the company should seriously update their email system!

First of all, a preferred repair shop of State Farm's took their money then didn't properly repair my car. Now, I had to get the damages actually repaired at the expense of State Farm. Christy never called or communicated with me, sent me a check to pay for repairs but never called and didn't include a letter with the check. When it comes time to pay, Christy says "oh I sent a check to the claimant". So, right now my car is being held hostage waiting on the check from State Farm from me. Again, I had to call State Farm to get answers. No one called me. When I finally get to talk to Christy she swears we communicated but won't take the time to go over her notes to prove this.

My wife was rear-ended... a police-documented NOT AT FAULT accident. Regardless, State Farm increased our car insurance rates more than 30%. After we won subrogation from the car crash - which was obvious and inevitable - State Farm said that they will lower our rates but not until the next six-month billing period. And, we were told that we will not get reimbursed for the rate increase after the crash. When I ask my local SF office to "solve this" for me, they just blamed the underwriters and said that there's nothing they can do. When I ask SF for our new/upcoming rates, they just say, "something like they were before the accident." They will not (cannot) give me the new rates, and once again they just blame the underwriters.

I've been with State Farm insurance for over 25 years. In October, I bought a new car, and started shopping for a new insurance carrier because the quotes at State Farm got very high after I added my new car and a new driver to the policy. I sent State Farm a letter from my new insurance carrier (close to $2000/year cheaper for nearly the same coverage) on October 12th informing them of our new policy for three cars and condo insurance. Received a reimbursement check for my Condo insurance right away, but nothing for the auto insurance on three cars. We called in November and again in December. In January, we received checks that reimbursed only from November, not October when we acquired other insurance! We've been getting the runaround from Henry ever since we changed carriers, and are still waiting for the balance owed over three months later!

In my situation, we didn't have a choice. My husband was a witness to an auto accident that got pushed into our car and totaled it. That was on November 20th 2015. Their client is 100% at fault and we were using a rental until 1/13/2016. Our car is not repairable and we have not received compensation. Our car was paid for and had liability insurance. There were two cars that were totaled, separate from the driver at fault. The driver only has $25k coverage and we were told the other car (since it was a new rental vehicle) will get $23k out of the $25k. So that leaves us with $2k for our 2012 Honda Civic! You better be kidding me! On top of that, State Farm apparently waived insurance on the rental and we were just charged $723.10 from HERTZ to cover the insurance on the stupid rental we would have never got if ANYONE would have disclosed that information.
On top of that.... we were also told that any of the costs State Farm paid for our rental during the time we had it would be deducted from what we would get for our totaled car! State Farm, you suck! It's off to court we go. We aren't left with any other options. We'll spend $10k plus on an attorney with the hopes we'll get our attorney fees paid for. Unless we receive resolution that is fair soon, I will go everywhere to tell our story.

The motorist insured by State Farm told my wife and police officer that it was her fault and the report stated she was at fault. On 12-22-2015 my wife contacted our insurance company. She was told to file a claim with State Farm, since the other motorist was at fault. The local police department stated the official police report would be finalized in 10 working days. On 12-30-2015 a police report was scanned and faxed to State Farm. On 12-30-2015 my wife spoke to the State Farm claim adjuster. He told her that State Farm did not recognized local police reports and she need to tell him in detail what happened. He told her that State Farm would review liability within 24-36 hours after contacting their insured motorist.
On 01-07-2016 my wife was told that State Farm assumed liability 100% and that she needed to select a local repair shop for an estimate. On 01-12-2016 an estimate was faxed to State Farm. On 01-15-2016 State Farm informed my wife the car was "totaled". My wife was told that State Farm wanted to settled the claim as soon as possible.

Brake fluid splattered all over the street from the botched rigging of the car by the brake calipers. The brake line was completely pulled out defaulting the ABS system. I took pictures, I had several witnesses there, I sent over receipts that I had a warranty on the ABS as I had it replaced a few years back and even letters from the mechanic. State Farm says it never happened. It was wear and tear that caused the issue. One rep called and went over the documents and pictures I provided.
Today a rep called and said they have nothing and no receipts were ever sent. I emailed the broker- Terry ** in Brentwood, California - and his nasty reply was he already sent it. I know common sense isn't a given but if I have a warranty on a part until 2017 why would I waste my time arguing with a shady company about fixing it if it's wear and tear? BECAUSE IT ISN'T. And I find it extremely unethical for STATE FARM to encourage for the sake of denying a claim, someone to attempt to defraud the warranty company when the part was BROKEN BY THE BOTCHED TOW!

I have been a customer of State Farm for over 40 years and would not consider anyone else for my insurance. They have always met and went above my expectations whether it was hail damage, someone hit me in the parking lot, a small fender bender or when my daughter totaled her car on the way back to college. Over the many years I have been their customer I have had only three different agents due to moving from one state to another. No matter where I have lived State Farm has always been there for me when I needed them no questions asked.

Our agent found the best policy and the best way to pay for our family. Several other companies declined to cover us or cover at a much higher amount due to our location. State Farm gave us no problems, a great rate and coverage, found several discounts and he has a great sense of humor!! Shortly after signing up and paying for 6 months, we sold a car that was covered. Our agent removed the car from our plan, recalculated our fees and had a refund on the way after only telling him we sold the car. Without asking what we needed to do. Very friendly people and we love our agent!

I have been a State Farm customer for over 50 years & was pleased with their service up to now. I had an accident in Lancaster PA with my 40' diesel pusher motorhome in October, that caused to oil pan to be damaged along with damaging the engine because of loss of oil. There was also some body damage. I drove home to Florida in the car I had been towing with the RV.
When almost home I was told the RV would probably be salvaged, even though it was worth $100,000. I drove my car back to Lancaster & rented a truck to retrieve all the stuff we had in the RV. Since then I have been trying to work with State Farm claims handlers. Every time I call I am put on hold, for up to 10 minutes or more, & then get connected to a claims handler, a different one every time, who needs to read through the claim every time & I have to explain that this is not a car, since that is all they seem to understand.
The last time I called the handler hung up because I used the term ** for what he was telling me. I called back three more times & asked to speak to a manager & was put back into the queue for another 10 minutes & then was answered by another claims handler who knew nothing about my call. I hung up & went to my agent in Boynton Beach, Dave **, but he was already gone before noon on New Year's Eve & his ineffective office staff said they get the same wait & treatment from the claims handlers. I told them to tell Dave that State Farm is losing a good customer because of poor handling by the claims handlers.
The claims handlers do nothing on their own initiative. I had to keep calling to get them to do anything. The engine damage had to be evaluated by FreightLiner Trucks & I wanted the body damage to be evaluated by an RV dealer, but they insisted FreightLiner could do it & now we are waiting on them both to resolve the body damage issue & then make a decision about the repairs in general. State Farm should assign a single claims handler in situation like this where it is not just an ordinary auto claim. I am very dissatisfied with their claims handling for an RV like this. I get very frustrated explaining this each time I call for an update. Do not use State Farm to insure an RV.
