    Agent is thorough and easy to work with. He took the time to explain differences in policies and he offered the best value for me. Thanks to him, I raised the limits on my motorcycles to the same as on my truck and have an umbrella policy.

    I really liked the entire service. They gave us everything that we deserved. They even gave us some money when the fault was ours because my husband backed up into his own car. Filing a claim was easy. They assisted us all the way through. There were no obstacles. Everything went superior. State Farm Auto Insurance was great.

    State Farm never want to cover anything. If you are in a car accident, they tell you not to file through them unless you absolutely have to as they will raise your rates no matter what the outcome. The same goes for homeowners. We thought we had hail damage and they warned me that if they sent an adjuster and he decided I didn't have damage they would still raise my rates. So I had to get a private adjuster to determine if it was worth it to file a claim with them. Crazy! It's very expensive and I feel I get nothing for my money. They keep upping the deductible and increasing the cost of the insurance. So you can't win. It's also expensive. I feel that insurance is a necessary evil but I doubt whether they will come through for you.

    I have had my auto insurance with State Farm for four decades. They are price competitive for the average driver and offer services that set them apart from all other insurance companies. I have price-checked every few years. I could have saved a few bucks at some points, but it was easy to stay with them because of their exemplary service and exceptional agents. State Farm let me choose the repair facility I trusted and acted so quickly I was stunned. In addition, they helped me with what I considered an error in the accident report and saved me more than money! Best insurance I have ever had.

    If you're inquiring or making changes to your existing policy then State Farm gives a pretty good service. But if filing a claim, it's the worst experience. They don’t want to help you if you're stuck in another state with a breakdown even though you have roadside assist. After explaining to them what happened they blew me & my claim off & never did a thing! So I had to reach out higher up & report them. Then I received action immediately within less than 24 hours later. Pretty sad though. Since then I changed State Farm branches entirely. I have had another issue on a smaller scale though & will most likely change insurance companies within the next year.

    In the summer of 2016, when one of our children, a student driver, totaled our 2007 AWD Highlander Hybrid (which we loved), we did not know that State Farm uses a third party to apply absurdly low values to totaled vehicles. The accident occurred when a pedestrian and a bicyclist were in the street when we turned a corner, and after swerving to avoid them we drove down an embankment and stopped on some boulders. Thankfully, there were no injuries. We thought that State Farm would repair the vehicle, as the damage involved only the grill and equipment on the bottom of the vehicle. But even using non-Toyota parts (!!!) their estimate was over $10,000 and State Farm declared it totaled.

    We learned the hard way that the third party used by State Farm to value totaled vehicles would never send a rep to see the damaged vehicle, and would value a single-owner, no accidents, loaded vehicle that had been maintained perfectly, at the dealership, and was ahead of its scheduled repairs, as if it were a base vehicle in poor condition. They literally started with recent history of 2007 Highlander asking prices in our area, without regard to undesirable vehicle issues, and then subtracted for items that they said were not on our Highlander, which WERE on our Highlander. Their dishonest practices gave us numerous headaches. Ultimately, we proved that our Highlander, which cost $40,000 in 2007, was trim level 6966, which means that it had every option available (AWD, heated leather seats, third row seat, Nav, wood-grain trim, etc.).

    After six weeks of arguing, we got State Farm up from $9,000 to $13,500 (a 50% increase). We feel bad for all of the customers who have a death or hospitalization associated with a totaled vehicle and do not have the time to fight with State Farm for a fair valuation. If State Farm can get away with it, they will dishonestly value a totaled vehicle as if it were the worst possible vehicle of that make, model, and year, with no options and poor condition, without sending a rep to gather any facts about the actual vehicle. For people who drive nice cars and take care of them, a claim for a totaled vehicle is a nightmare.

    Auto rate always increases for no reason around the same time every year, and I’m told that it has nothing to do with me, it has to do with Louisiana’s new rating changes. Funny how it goes up by $80-$100 at the same time each year, which is when my birthday comes around, turning a year older would make my rate would go down $50. For example it was time to renew my policy on April 29, 2018 for my 2015 Camaro, I was paying $453/month including $25 life insurance, at renewal my rate was changed to $530/ month, including life insurance. My birthday is June 1, and I was told that once my birthday came around I would only be paying around $466 for auto and life... which was more than what I was paying prior to my renewal despite no accidents, claims, or violations.

    I had no claims and I would steadily see my rate increasing for “something that has nothing to do with me.” I could never get ahead, and my rate never decreased despite no accidents, no violations, and no claims. They would change my rate many times during a 6 month policy, to the point where I got tired and said that I’m tired of getting notices in the mail about rating changes and my bill going up, I had about 4-5 notices from State Farm notifying me of a rate increase that was due the same month. I saved TONS of money by switching to Progressive, and I will never use State Farm again, they’re scammers.

    We had a contractor come out to repair some other things and he noticed our roof looked damaged. When told that a handful of our neighbors had their roofs repaired recently, he checked it out and said there was hail damage and we should file a claim. The first time the insurance adjuster came out, they told us they didn't have the proper equipment to get on our roof and they would have to reschedule. The second time they came out, they didn't bring a tall enough ladder, even though they have previously been to our house. They told us they were going to close our claim and in order to move forward we needed to pay a roofer to come take pictures of our roof and send it to them.

Now my payment comes out acct every month and I just received new cards in January.

    Contacted agent today and was told same thing. When asked why I was not notified agent said it's my responsibility to make sure payment comes out the acct each month. They did not contact or notify me because we were not signed up for e-mail notifications yet they send us new cards each 6 months by email. Bank has no records of a payment being refused for any reason. Was told that since I had lapsed coverage for over 2 months my insurance will no longer be $218 a month. It will now be $388 a month.

    Customer service is horrible. Was involved in an auto accident, the other party had State Farm. Their customer service called me to schedule my rental pick up, the person on the line wanted to argue and go back and forth when I asked him to schedule the rental that was miles from the body shop. He literally called me and wanted me to do his job and tell him which rental, so I told him, "You called me and are clearly looking at the rentals so pick one." While I was talking he started over talking me saying I don’t know the area after giving me 3 rental places and I already picked one. Anyway he hung up on me when I asked for a supervisor since he wanted to argue about the place I picked.

    I called back and it was no record of the call or that anyone called me, they also told me they can’t talk to me since I have an attorney handling my claim. So now I’m confused. Why would you call me to schedule a rental, I’m not discussing my claim just which rental service I’m using. Long story short I get to the rental place and guess who I have to speak with? State Farm, I immediately say, "I thought you can’t speak with me," they say, "No we have no record of saying that and we have to speak with you in order to finalize the rental." Full of playing games and giving people headaches, can’t imagine if they were my insurance carrier it would be complete foolery trying to get correct information from them.

    Their insured slammed into my right front wheel and they fixed the damage without replacing the wheel bearing, including replacing the smashed up fender and hubcap. When I got the car back it made a clicking noise that quickly turned into a failed right front wheel bearing. They refuse to fix the wheel bearing, saying "those can go out at any time". The manager on duty told me, "Take it in, pay for a rental for 5-6 days while you wait for us to inspect and deny your new claim, then go ahead and sue us or just pay for it yourself and wait for them to do the work." He wins, I can't afford to take the time off work to take him to court, my lost wages will cost as much as the repair. I will never buy State Farm Insurance.

    We are not State Farm Insurance carriers. However, a women insured by State Farm drove into the back of our RV on October 16, 2017. We decided to go through her insurance. Everything started out smooth, then the problems started. State Farm paid the repair garage in full for repairs, and then never communicated with us that repairs are not going to be completed as the garage had not even received parts until we ask for a rental, which is $1500/week. That is when State Farm decided it was important to put pressure on the repair garage, as the RV was promised to be completed on March 1, 2018. I start tracking progress of the garage to see why things are not be completed. I call every two days, because State Farm is not communicating with us on progress. We notify State Farm that starting April 1, we will be renting an RV until ours is repaired at $1500/week.

    When the garage continues to have difficulty getting parts State Farm says all rentals after April 1, will need to go through the garage. I end up having to get legal guidance and find out they cannot require us to go through the garage as we do not have a claim with the garage. State Farm must cover rentals then go after third-party for reimbursement.

    Finally they decide to total the RV. It goes downhill further at this point. We talk to five different people within a few days, because you have to talk to whoever answered the phone and we get a different answer every time we talk to someone. Then we are told they are not going to pay off because the total goes above her liability limits. I am very upset at this point and when I voice my frustration of not have this settled within six months I am told I am being unreasonable in demanding a rental until paid in full. After getting additional legal guidance and submitting a formal letter, we finally get their attention and they started responding a whole lot faster. It was six months of fighting and I have their customer service is horrible! I will NEVER carry State Farm Insurance as I would never want anyone to be treated like this. We finally got our money and are moving on. But State Farm wasted a lot of money and a lot of my personal time along the way.

    Absolutely horrible experience with State Farm Auto and Renter's Insurance after hitting an animal causing a flat tire… While I was waiting for a tow overnight, the car was vandalized and contents taken from the inside. It was bad enough the tow took several hours to arrive even after going home and coming back… I was forced to have it towed to an unfamiliar collision shop where it has taken four days to even get someone to let me know when they will take a look at the damage.

    I’ve been without my car for four days and there is a great possibility it could be over two weeks! After contacting claims department, the representative for the theft of items from the car was so rude and told me without receipts for the items, they would not be covered! One of the things missing was a computer for my autistic son. After 10+ years with State Farm, it’s time for the entire family and business to move insurance elsewhere. It takes just one incident to show what kind of insurance you really have and I am so disappointed.

    While sleeping, my neighbors' car was hit and slammed into mine. State Farm has been my carrier for 18 years. I have never had to file a claim, unfortunately that meant I didn't know the shoddy coverage they were charging me top dollar for. I had to pay my deductible (which had been switched from 250.00. I originally started with to $500) (again, shame on me). Then they want to put aftermarket, like, kind and quality parts on my car. OEM refurbished. When I disputed that, they said my car was not new since I drove it off the lot and I needed to take it to one of their service centers. I refused. Took it to a reputable body shop and paid 1732.00 to get my car fixed properly. They were paying .30 cents on the dollar for my parts. I paid the difference to get my car fixed. They were supposed to collect my deductible for the claim.

    I followed up 3 times in 6 months, and got nothing but excuses, "Oh we sent the paperwork to the wrong place," then, "Haven't heard back yet, no new information." Last week I got a letter stating that they were unable to collect so they were turning it over to the lawyer, and to let them know if I want them to collect my deductible for me. Um...YES!!! My neighbors, whose car was hit, and who hasn't even been driving for 18 years, paid nothing, ZERO dollars out of their pocket to get their car fixed. Imagine my disgust. I was told the agent can use funds from their office to satisfy policyholders in this situation and my agent didn't bother.

    They found their coverage to be sufficient for me, and encouraged me to allow them to fix my vehicle in the manner they saw fit. ABSOLUTELY NOT! I have switched to a top rated insurance company and will never again use State Farm Insurance for anything. They used to be a reputable company, something has changed, drastically and buyer beware... They do not cover OEM parts, they do not collect on your behalf and they most certainly DO NOT CARE.

    The driver of a vehicle insured by State Farm ran a red light and totaled my car. The company has the police report and the statements of three witnesses, all confirming the other vehicle ran the light. The driver was also cited for failing to stop. State Farm, however, remains unwilling to accept liability because they "have been unable to speak to the driver of the other car" to get her statement. That was 9 days ago. State Farm told me they have up to 30 days to make contact. Their "suggestion" is that I file a claim with my insurance company, and that company will have to try and recover their costs from State Farm. This is a typical tactic that allows State Farm to avoid having to do any of the work associated with the claim. It also means that I have to pay the deductibles, which I don't know if I'll ever recover. "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there" is joke! A "good neighbor" extends himself to help and accepts responsibility, rather than stonewalling.

    My wife had an accident a few months ago. She was in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway. State Farm deemed it a no fault so both parties pay their deductible. The driver of vehicle 1 normally at fault on a PD report is at fault. The officer in the report evidence support driver 1 moving into drivers 2 (my wife's lane). Facts my wife was getting off to the right in a mile. No reason to move into left lane. Driver 1 was the overtaking vehicle #2 and stated to the Insurance company she saw my wife moving left into her lane? For one my wife has a new VW. Has accident avoidance and lane awareness, makes it hard to switch lanes into someone and no reason for her to switch lanes.

    Driver #1 also stated she speeded up to avoid an accident. Not slow down or move over into the left lane which was an emergency lane. That represents not being aware of your surroundings and negligence. Also we had physical evidence of #2 my wife's mirror being bent out and #1's mirror being bent into showing she was in forward movement passing my wife. Plus she stated to my wife not to call the police that could handle it without the PD. PD report shows my wife was the 911 caller. State Farm denied the claim finding the other driver at fault because of lack of evidence and the closing statement was the Officer said both parties had conflicting stories???

    As an Ex Officer I feel since it was 10 degrees the officer did not look at the physical evidence until I pointed some things out via phone call. Also the officer should of asked #1 driver why she didn't slow down or change lanes to avoid an accident. So with all the facts and evidence State Farm denied placing fault and the fact we're both State Farm customers.

    I have been with State Farm for 25 years with a perfect driving record and only a couple of comprehensive claims. My rates are always increasing with no explanation. My wife hit a deer a couple of weeks ago in our 2013 VW Golf, owned since new, causing about $1800 damage. The deer ruined a fender and smashed one of the headlight assemblies. The body shop pointed out that a new headlight assembly would not match the other one, so they would try to find a used one. I had no problem with this.

    Well, it turned out the used ones were no good, so the body shop recommended to State Farm they replace both units. They flat refused. I spent a ton of time on the phone with my agent (terrible customer service, never called back, etc) and the claim adjuster, telling them the car was not being returned to pre accident condition and it would be obvious the car had been wrecked. They basically told me to pound sand. My body shop said they were not surprised, as State Farm is known for doing this type of thing. I am now switching carriers, as once I called around, I have also been paying WAY more than every single quote I have received for the same coverage with other, much higher rated companies.

    State Farm of Orchard Park - On April 4 I received a letter from the DMV informing me that my 3 auto insurance policies had been canceled. I immediately phoned the office only to have an abrupt conversation with an agent named Maria informing me that we were canceled due to claims review. I asked her why I had not received any phone calls and she replied, “We called your husband twice”. I said well this is a emergent situation, why would she not then also attempt to call me, as I am also listed on the policy? She replied... "Mam... I called Chris twice, it’s not my responsibility and I didn’t have your phone number “. Which is untrue as the company has called my individual cell multiple times to Solicit my business for other potential policies with them.

    She was crass, unprofessional and unsympathetic to the situation and the financial burden this oversight has caused me and my family. It will cost us over 1000$ to fix this and we have no idea where this will come from as we struggle just to make ends meet week to week. This representative was arrogant, condescending and crass. She should not be working in customer service let alone as a manager. I am disgusted with the treatment I received from this company and want others to know what they are dealing with before they purchase their policies.

    Worst experience ever and now we are left uninsured with 1000$ debt to pay to the DMV. Just in case you are thinking we are not reputable... this has never happened to us before... we do not make a habit out of not paying our insurance. This was an honest oversight and could have been easily corrected if this company was as ambitious about informing us of our cancellation as they were about soliciting us for other policies with them. The worst part about this situation was not only that it simply occurred but the appalling manner in which we were treated after the incident. I will never recommend this company to anyone.

    The reason for sharing this review is to let consumers be warned that State Farm Auto Ins. is not the good neighbor they advertise to be. After being with State Farm Auto Ins. for 54 years and now had a claim, I advise you to pick another Ins. Company before you have to go through what I did. To start off with you cannot count on your agent to give you the support you will need to battle the rude claims people.

    On Jan. 30 2018 my wife was in our 2013 Toyota Camry that we purchased new. She was on the highway 100 miles from home. She was arriving at her exit and was about to shift into the exit lane when a dump truck hauling a load of huge stones suddenly pulled in front of her car and a huge stone fell from the truck almost landing on the hood of car. No time for my wife to apply brakes or anything. Fortunately the stone did not hit the car but instead the stone went underneath the car doing damage to radiator mounts, motor mounts, engine cradle and also struck the transmission. The transmission oil pan was crushed and a large hole ripped in it losing all the transmission fluid.

    My wife called our State Farm agent and the process began. The nearest repair shop was a Toyota dealership a short distance from the damaged car. The dump truck did not stop. We guess maybe the driver did not know what happened. After my wife talked with agent's staff and claims person it was agreed that the car would be towed to the Toyota dealership for repairs. Up till then the process was going okay. When the claims adjuster came to the shop to examine the damage to the car and discussed the repairs with mechanic the adjuster was told by the mechanic that the transmission took the hardest blow and that the transmission should be checked because all the fluid had run out and the fluid pan was crushed.

    The adjuster told the mechanic, "For now let's just try putting a new pan on and adding fluid back to transmission." So State Farm had the shop to replace and repair the other damage and put a new oil pan on transmission. My Camry had 42,000 miles on it. After a couple of weeks the Toyota shop called me to come and pick my car up. My wife and I drove the 100 miles back to the shop and picked my car up. The service mgr. explained to me that the only thing done to the transmission was a new pan was put on it and that I would need to drive it awhile to make sure it was okay. He also said that the State Farm adjuster knew this and had it on report that any damage to transmission would have to be determined after driving the car some.

    I drove my car from the shop and a few miles away the transmission slipped just before I got on the expressway. I continued to drive the 100 miles back home and on the highway I had no more problems. When I was close to home and exited the expressway the transmission started slipping again. I called the Toyota shop and told them and was told to bring the car back. I called my SF agent and told them what was going on. I also asked the agency if they could tow my car the 100 miles back to shop. She said maybe that she would check and get back to me next day. That night a State Farm claims specialist called me by phone and told me if I take my car back to the shop and they examined the transmission and if the problem was not related to the stone hitting it that I would have to pay the bills that State Farm would not be responsible.

    I tried to tell this claims specialist that was supposed to be on their record of claim that damage to transmission would have to be determined. This person would not listen to me repeating I would be responsible for payment. His attitude really upset me and when I contested his attitude he hung up on me and I lost sleep all night. The next morning I got in the Camry and my wife got in our other car and she followed me the 100 miles back to the Toyota shop and we dropped the car off and drove the 100 miles back home. Every time I tried to talk with my SF agent he would not be in and I would have to talk with staff and staff wanted me to call claims that it was really out of their hands?? I just could not get my agent to go to bat for me.

    After another couple of weeks without my Camry the service mgr. from Toyota shop calls me and tells me that State Farm purchased a recycled transmission from a salvage yard for my Toyota Camry but he said he was not going to install this transmission in my car because it had 147,000 miles on it. Now that was just great, my original transmission just had 42,000 miles on it. Can you imagine how sorry that was for State Farm to do a customer that way, not to mention I was a 54 year State Farm customer.

    I immediately called my State Farm agent and explained to her about State Farm wanting to put this 147,000 mile transmission in my new Camry. On top of that State Farm paid $490.00 for this wore out transmission and was going to be perfectly happy to have it put in my car??? It was at this point my State Farm agent reminded me that this Toyota shop was a State Farm Select choice shop and that this service manager threw State Farm under the bus by telling me that SF was going to put this wore out transmission on my car. I told my agent the service mgr. did not throw State Farm under the bus, but he kept State Farm from throwing me the customer under the bus!!!

    Now my agent decided we together will call the claims dept. Of course I had to deal with claims while agent listened on phone. I told the claims specialist about this dirty deal State Farm was trying to pull on me and I asked him why didn't State Farm either fix my original transmission or put me a new transmission in? He said they could not put a new one in because that would be putting one in that was better than original??? So I said to him, so State Farm would be acting in good faith to put transmission in with 147,000 miles on it and my original had only 42,000.

    As our conversation went the claims specialist hung up the phone in both our faces the agent on the line and me. My agent was not pleased at all that he hung up on us and she said she did call in to have the person reprimanded. Now more time has gone by and the Toyota shop calls me and tells me State Farm has purchased another transmission from the same salvage yard and this one is supposed to have 38,000 miles on it at a cost of $900.00. This transmission was installed and the shop called me to come pick my Camry up so it is now 3/22/2018 almost 2 months dealing and arguing with State Farm.

    My wife drives me back the 100 miles to shop. I take my Camry and head home. Drove real nice on expressway, still in the city and get backed up in traffic bumper to bumper now every time I stop I feel my car vibrating. My rear end is vibrating, my back is vibrating, the steering wheel is vibrating, my brake pedal is vibrating. Wow I am really displeased. Every red light I stop at I have to feel this vibration. I get home and call the Toyota shop and then I call my agent.

    Next morning I get in the Camry, my wife gets in the other car and again we drive the 100 miles back to the shop. My car stays at the shop another 7 days and the shop calls me and says they have checked things out and what they suggest is for me to drive the Camry a couple thousand miles and see if the computer on the car maybe straightens things out. I told service mgr. I don't think that is going to happen that all that is a bunch of bull. He persuades me to try it. I call my agent again and she wants to call the claims specialist again and talk with them.

    When the specialist gets on the phone the agent introduced us asked me to tell the claims specialist what's going on. First thing I did was to ask the specialist to look at my claim and tell me where we are at at this point. His answer to me was that this claims case was closed. I asked him how my case could be closed and my car has not been fixed??? I go over this vibrating experience with him after this other recycled transmission was installed and explain to him about the shop recommending me to drive the car awhile and see if the problem works out. So the claim specialist says he will keep the case open for one month and if the shop send in another estimate for problem they will take care of it.

    So far I have put several hundred miles on the Camry and it still vibrates. I know overall these several weeks I have left some details out but they would be negative details of discussions with State Farm people. Consumers be aware. You cannot trust State Farm. Again I repeat I have been with State Farm Ins. for 54 years. They are nothing like they use to be and since I have been through this I have talked with a lot of people that also had to drop State Farm because they are only nice and good as long as you don't have a claim.

I became a customer on January 29th of 2018 and I put a down payment of $126 down for 2000 Honda Accord that mean my payment wasn’t due again until February 29th.

Now they are saying I’m 30 days past due and didn’t prorate the amount and cancelled my policy.

    I tried calling and my calls was screened and they sent me to voicemail. The office closes at 5 pm and I called at 4:45 pm to make my payment of $336 and they screened my calls and send me to the 1800 number... They are not concerned neither do they value their customers. They don’t care and they tell lies on every single call. I will be searching for another auto insurance company. State Farm is not a good company to do get insurance with. They are reasonable but only for the first bill after that you will have unknown charges and cancellation. BEWARE.

According to a supervisor, it is their policy that if they can find a used part that's all they will pay for. This is completely unacceptable to replace used parts on a new vehicle. Another friend of mine cancelled her policy with State Farm after they did the same thing to her on a new Mercedes. Avoid this company!

    I loved State Farm, for past 23 years, till this accident claim that was not my fault. They took wonderful care of my home when wind storm took 1/3 my roof off and 2 months later a torrential rain storm knocked out power and flooded my finished basement in 2009. (Those are only claims I have ever had on 24 years of home owners policy. Both unavoidable.) But this fall, the service with my auto accident where I was hit and run by some dummy in the most ridiculous and nonsensical manner, made me realize how bad customer service has become. The cops got her and she admitted what she did, but my insurance has to still pay my medical bills.

    I've been paying for 50,000 of PIP coverage for 24 years with NO CLAIMS till now with State Farm. (The legal minimum is 4500.) They told me wrong info about who would pay my medical bills, then they made it a hassle to get help to finish my yard clean up for fall that I could not do because of injuries I sustained. Then they told me I only had 2000 of PIP, then when a lawyer for my health insurance told me I had to have at least 4500. I called them again and they told me, "Oh Yeah, you have 4500." Then my physical therapist was the one who told me I have 50,000 of PIP coverage. I called State Farm again after checking my policy and they said, "Oh, yeah, you have 50,000 in coverage."

    This has been my worst experience ever and my first auto claim in 24 years (with exception of rock chips and a replacement windshield 18 years into my coverage). Their customer service has gone downhill BAD since 2009. :( And the new agent they assigned me 3 years ago when my original agent retired is not very good. I don't feel comfortable with her. She is not knowledgeable and I don't feel any trust with her like I did with my original agent.

    I have been with State Farm insurance since I started driving in 1982 and have not had a ticket in 25 years. My dissatisfaction started several years ago when I received a notice that State Farm is no longer offering homeowner insurance in Florida. I, of course, had to find another company to insure my home. A few months after obtaining new insurance I was informed that State Farm changed their mind and is continuing to offer homeowners insurance in Florida. When I tried to re-obtain homeowners insurance with them, they told me they were not taking new customers. In 2016 I backed out of my garage and into a guests car that I forgot was there and in 2017 my wife bumped the car in front of her at a stop light when it turned green, not even hard enough to scratch her white bumper. Now State Farm is canceling us under their Mutual company but they graciously offered to insure us for the low price of $5200 per year, three times our previous rate.

    Unfortunately, I have been a loyal customer over the years even when cheaper rates were out there and I have used them for previous and current auto loans. I will never recommend them again and will be moving my loans to another company. Like a bad neighbor, State Farm will turn on you in a second or run away when you need them.

They claim the cause of the accident, yet before I left 1 year ago they knew it because I was on State Farm when it happened 3 years ago and it since fallen off.

At this point I had already been stranded for about 2 hours. I decided to proceed with the process.

    I've had my home, life, and car insurance through State Farm for over 20 years. My driving record has been clean, and I do not have any tickets or violations. This past year, I had 2 accidents, one of which ended up totaling my car, and the other a minor fender bender, but I did not receive a ticket for either incident. This past February, I purchased a 2018 Ford truck and initially State Farm insured it. Well, after a month, the underwriters suddenly decided that they were not going to insure the truck as well as discontinuing coverage for another vehicle with little warning.

    When I called my local agent's office, they informed me that my truck was no longer insured. And, instead of offering to see if there was another way State Farm could insure the vehicle or explaining to us why we were dropped other than a sterile letter from headquarters, they simply told me to shop around and that I could return to them in 2019 when one of my accidents comes "off my record." Up until now, we have not filed any major claims, I have never filed a personal accident claim, and my driving record is perfectly clean. And, we haven't been late on payments not have we been delinquent.

    But besides that, we have been loyal customers with them for OVER 25 years, and yet, because we may post a temporary financial "risk," they dropped us like nothing mattered. We are in total disbelief and angered by how this company has treated us. So, we are in the process of removing all of our policies which we have with them and will transfer it all to another insurance company.

    We live in Oregon with a Revocable Living Trust in each of our names. We have State Farm Insurance (for over 50 years) and have had the trusts since 2002. State Farm now is saying that everything we own in the trusts must be listed as the “owner” on our insurance policies. So now we will lose the multi-car and drive safe discounts not only on the vehicles but also on the homeowners policies (per our agent). This will amount to $800 or more in discounts to us each year. On the homeowner insurance alone, it is going to be a $400 increase on the policy. We are unable to see the vehicles online and ability to pay online also due to the change to the revocable trusts.

    According to our agent, this has been in place for “2 to 4 years that it must be listed as the trusts being the owners.” They have no answers for why it was not changed sooner, nor are they willing to list the trust as an additional insured on the policy as it was in the past. The agent said that I was “bugging them with questions” so I am changing agents. I’m sure that I am not the only one who has been forced to have the trusts as the owners on the policies, so therefore, they should know the answers.

    They do not know their jobs nor are they willing to find out the answers regarding the change that they are forcing us to live by. They thought the problem was with the trusts being listed different ways, so now I have at least 30 envelopes with changes for a homeowners, 2 cars, quad, utility trailer, and umbrella policies. I have 10 on 1 car where they keep changing the wording of the trust. In the 50 years that we have been with State Farm, we had only had a small amount of claims and not that much money on each claim. I would have rated them with a zero if that would have been an option.

    I had State Farm since 2013 and only had two car accidents where they had to pay out money. Yet they sent me a letter saying they going to drop me as a policyholder. Want know why? Because I had a dead battery and a flat tire and I called them to fix it. They are using that against me and dropping me. On top of that when they need to pay out claims you need to dish money out of your own pocket because they don't give you enough. The agents that run the office are nasty and unfriendly. They crazy if they think I am keeping both my house policy with them once they drop my three car policies. Geico or Allstate are better. DO NOT GO WITH STATE FARM.

    I had an accident on Feb 16 when I was in the middle of an intersection turning left and Ford Explorer at a high rate of speed went through the red light and slammed into me on the left front bumper and caused about $2000 worth of damage. Nobody was hurt. The driver of the other didn't speak English. The police came and completed the report, which clearly states that the Mr. ** was at fault and was given a citation. I thought that this would be an easy claim to resolve, but State Farm is throwing up all sorts of roadblocks and lying witnesses to deny me the repair to my vehicle. I am a Veteran and a senior citizen and will not take this crap. The claims agent who owns this number ** is not responding to my calls. Please connect me with someone who will take care of my claim.

    Finally got a response from the adjuster at the above number. She said she was too busy to answer my four calls. Too many claims??? She said that there was a witness that says that the light was green for Mr. **, which means that it was also green for me. How is that possible?? She is disputing the police report, which clearly states he went through the red light and hit me in the middle of the intersection. He is also getting a citation. She also said that no one talked to Mr. ** because none of the officers spoke Spanish. What is this guy doing with a NC license if he can't read or understand English? All the road signs are in English. State Farm needs to honor my claim and pay for the damage to my car, otherwise legal action will be pursued.

I took my car to the State Farm approved shop and it ended up being totaled. Their insured called and did admit fault to the accident but because he has no damage on his car...State Farm is not going to pay for the damage because they are trying to say I could have had prior damage and there is no way to prove he did this amount of damage.

    I purchased full coverage auto insurance on 12/28/18 from State Farm agent and was in an accident on 1/28/18 whereby my vehicle was totaled. State Farm informed me my property damage coverage was suspended on 1/12/18 because no Photo inspection of vehicle had been done. I informed them I was never at no time informed when I initially purchased my policy on 12/28/17 to conduct photo inspection, nor of its location on that date or thereafter; no reminder notifications by email or telephone ever took place since policy purchase.

    They stated/alleged a notice was mailed out for which I never received. Investigation (statement taken from broker agent only; one was not required of me as informed by claim specialist) ensued thereafter rendering a denial decision based upon notice they alleged to have sent. As State Farm have denied my request to honor the full coverage as stated by my policy which I paid at inception and instead holding a notice alleged by them to have been sent via mail: which cannot be confirmed as received by or delivered to insured - neither reminders to insured.

    They also denied my request for rental and towing services although claiming it is a separate cover under policy not (comprehensive/collision) yet still denied extending it to me as purchased when requested on 1/30/18, stating claim was under investigation. They have neither renumerated any monies I have paid upon suspending said coverage. Due to State Farm failure/neglect to notify me at inception/remind me of Mandatory Photo Inspection anytime thereafter as required by state insurance regulation, I have incurred a huge and extensive unforeseen financial loss considering the policy was purchased, paid for and accepted by agent; However the required service and responsibility to me as the insured had not been rendered as required by law. I am seeking reinstatement of full coverage to my policy to cover property damages/loss I incurred on 1/28/18.

No accidents ever. No claims ever. A decade since my last traffic ticket. I drive a 22 year old truck. I've always paid my bill on time. What do I get in return?

    This review is not about the State Farm local insurance agent offices, it's about the how the main office handles their roadside service. It is by far some of the worst service a person can encounter. I needed my disabled Jeep towed to my mechanic. As of this moment, I am on my 4th call to State Farm requesting a tow truck in three days. Day one, I requested a flatbed for the tow, and they show up in a regular tow truck. Day One, second request, State Farm apologized for the mistake and sends the flatbed out. I instructed State Farm to tow my vehicle to my mechanic which I provided the address. My mechanic calls me several hours later and tells me that the vehicle has not arrived. I called the tow truck driver and asked him where did he tow my vehicle, he asked if he could call me right back. Ten minutes later, no call. In fact I called him back at least ten times and texted him to tell me where the vehicle was.

    Finally he picked up. His response "call State Farm", at that point I was demanding that he tell me. He towed the vehicle to some mechanic shop that I never heard of. No apology, he would not go back and pick it up, NOTHING. Meanwhile State Farm had received notification that the tow was completed, so when the State Farm called to verify I told them that the driver towed the vehicle to the wrong address and furthermore he was refusing to tell me where it was dropped off. Moving Forward. On my third attempt to get the vehicle towed, I received a text confirmation that they were to arrive by 9:00 am. At 9:01 I called the tow coming from the number that was provided by State Farm. Tow company stated that there was no tow truck coming and I needed to call State Farm. I called State Farm, they stated the tow company did not receive the order to come get my vehicle.

    Now on my 4th attempt, the State Farm representative contacted another tow company and stated they would be here within an hour. As of this moment, I'm waiting. I have to say, these type of business practices are unacceptable. What I didn't tell you is how many supervisors called me to remedy the problem, and nobody was able to help me. I have 4 vehicles insured with them plus my homeowners, I will be seriously looking for another insurance company before my policy expires. I hope their management reads this. For a simple request to have my vehicle towed, I'm about to have a blood vessel burst. Next time I'll call the tow company on my own, then just submit the bill for reimbursement. Warning, State Farm is not what it claims to be.

    I had a basic claim where I hit some curbing in a parking lot due to insufficient/no signage. This happened on Dec. 24, 2017 and I still don't have my car back, and won't for another two weeks. I have a fairly unique car - an Audi S3 - which required some specific OEM parts to rebuild the front suspension. State Farm insisted on salvage parts but the Audi mechanics did not want to use them because of the sport suspension. A3 salvage parts would not work. I assumed S.F. would be reasonable and be able to understand my situation but they kept saying their contract only allows for salvage parts.

    The end result is I just paid $4200 out of my own pocket and they paid approximately $6,000. This is not the superior insurance I envisioned when I switched from Met Life to State Farm. I am cancelling any policies I have with S.F. because they are real pieces of **. Not to mention that I incurred $600 in additional car rental expenses since their $1200 allowance was exhausted after the car continued to sit while S.F. adjusters made 4 visits to the Audi shop.

    My comment as a "9th" year Policy Holder. Varied price quotes over the same input information among State Farm agents who run their offices within 15 miles radius. One month before policy expiration, the amount of previous premium was suddenly raised and informed me by mail when it was already paid off 6 months ago (The state farm policy period is 6 month only). Constant small amount of premium hikes even though I have "never" made any claim of any kind.

    Deceptive Ad to lower the premium when in reality it does not exist since no such service available (when brought to their attention, an excuse was that it "may" be available some day in the county seat I live. It's been a long time since then but it is still not available). Incorrect processing on the state PIP option on my most recent renewal (selected "opt out" on the form submitted to them but was processed as "accept") and had to have them corrected.

    The following is unbelievable but this is what's going on. I was in an accident back on 9/21/2017 in my 1968 Chevelle and State Farm sent me a list of their approved body shops to have it fixed at. I called 20-30 Of them and nobody would even touch it. My only choice was to find my own shop to have it repaired at which I did but the shop Mahoods Collision and Hot Rods didn't a butcher job putting it back together with horrible aftermarket parts and parts from a 70-72 which is a completely different body style as well as much more.

    When I asked State Farm to help me they said it was between me and Mahoods, and they aren't responsible for anything. They sold me a classic car policy and I made it clear to claims, that I wanted it fixed with an original front clip only and I didn't care how long it took. I was told by both my agent and by claims that it stated that in my policy so I asked them to show me where. After giving me the run around I was told "Well the verbiage doesn't state that but that's their policy.” I know they’re lying like every big company does in hopes that we'll give up but I won't, stay tuned for more. I'll be suing them soon enough. BEWARE!!! The next is a detailed explanation of what's going on.

    I was in an accident in September of 2017 and found a repair shop to have my front end fixed with an original front clip which he located about 5 hours away and was going to go get it when he started having medical problems and was in the hospital for several weeks so I became worried he might die and I would not be able to get my car back without a big hassle so I told a friend about what was going on and he recommended that I take it to Mahoods Collision and Hot Rods, so I called Mahoods and told him what was going on and he said, I have connections and could get an original front clip within a week and he could repair it within a month.

    So with this verbal contract, I had my car taken to Mahoods for repairs. After approximately 4 months the car was done and I went to pick it up. When I got there I looked at the car and found many mistakes. The biggest one is that he used all cheap aftermarket parts but also many other things. He said bring it back and he'll take care of it which I have a witness that can confirm that. When I got home and was looking the car over, I was absolutely disgusted with the butcher job he did on my car and I called him to complain. He said, "Stop belittling me" and to bring it back. His shop is about 1 hour away without traffic and 2 hours away with traffic. I brought it back to him and pointed out a bunch of mistakes and incomplete work he did on my car. When I got there and started pointing out all of his shoddy work he got angry and rushed at me with his fist cocked back but his employee held him back.

    After calming Mark down, I proceeded to point out the butcher job he did on my car which must have made him mad because he said, "I'll blow your ** head off." I told him he must repair it per our agreement or I'd have him arrested for death threats and fraud to which he agreed and that he would have to give me a loaner car which he agreed to rent until my car was done. After approximately one week, Enterprise called me and said that he was trying to renege on the agreement so I told Mark I wanted it taken out of my name so I'm not responsible for the bill. This is all noted in my contract with Enterprise. He told me some more lies about they wouldn't let him pay for it, so I called them and found out he could put it in his name so I called him and told him what was going on and he got belligerent with me so I told him, "I'll be down there with the police and we'd go from there."

    When I was heading to the police station to file a complaint and get an officer to do a keep the peace call, he must have called them and told them lies to get them on his side because I received a call from an officer telling me not to go to the station but to come to Mahoods instead. I could tell from the officer's voice that he was already taking Mahoods side. When I got there the officer started interrogating me instead of staying quiet and letting the owner Mark and I talk. The officer must have told Mark to remain quiet so not incriminate himself. Then the officer told Mark to put my car back together with all of the crappy aftermarket stuff and to push it out on the street and be done with it and they'd impound it. I was told to pick it up on Tuesday January 30th at 2PM which I replied I will come Wednesday instead so I'm not stuck in traffic overheating from his shoddy repairs. Mark replied that he would have it towed to my house.

    The officer told me that is what was going to happen to which under protest I agreed. After thinking about what happened, I realized that if it was towed, he could claim any damage happened during transit in order to get him off the hook. I tried calling Mark to tell not to tow it but he wouldn't answer so I left a message telling him not to tow it. I tried filing a complaint against the police on January 26th but no sergeant or detective was there to receive my complaint so I'm going back on Monday to file a complaint and to tell Mark Mahoods not to tow it.

    We have had State Farm for over 10 years. Recently we had an accident. We could not choose the repair shop. The repair shop they sent us to was Unibody Autotech in Honolulu. They kept our vehicle for 2 weeks only to tell us that they couldn't figure out why our vehicle was squeaking when turning or going over bumps. They were not sure if that was caused by the collision or not. They performed a $200 OEM scan. Aligned front and rear and did some operation with description Varsity Motors charging $201 for that. Total they wanted close to $600. State Farm then said we had to take our truck to the dealer to determine whether or not the noise was made because of the collision or not. If Nissan determined it was not then we would have to pay the fee. If Nissan said it was then State Farm would pick up the fee as we already paid our deductible. Another $300 spent at Nissan and I am back to nowhere.

    Nissan couldn't tell if the squeaky noise was from the collision or from age/time even though the noise did not happen until post accident. We recently got a safety. We recently had our mechanic run a diagnostic and fix the suspension or something else prior to accident. State Farm won't pay the $300 to Nissan or provide reimbursement to us as it's inconclusive. I don't know what kind of diagnostics the first repair shop did compared to the dealership but having to do 1 diagnostic at 1 shop and 2 at another is ridiculous. Our "agent" always been busy and unable to tell us anything more than the minor correspondence is ridiculous.

    I'm not exactly what is up with insurance, we all pay a fee because it's unlikely that we will get into an accident and most of us won't so that means the insurance keeps our money. When and if we file a claim, yes I understand the need to make sure the claim is legit but when due diligence is done and the repair shop and dealer are both unable to say if what occurred is not from the accident, then cover it.

    I have been loyal to this company for over 30 years which is a testament to their high level of service. I have never encountered any difficult issues or had valid claims denied. And filing a claim is always straightforward and they can take care of all steps in the claim online. I am not willing to change from using a dependable insurance carrier to taking the risk to switch to a new one even if it would mean saving a few hundred dollars per year.

    The agent from State Farm was very personable, easy to get in touch with and very concerned about my welfare at the time. Mr. ** from the Colonial Heights VA office was so helpful in helping me navigate through my policy, that his attention to detail made my experience more tolerable than most. Mr. ** from State Farm gave me a somewhat personal touch by taking time to make sure that I understood some of my rights as a policyholder. His office also made sure that I had all of the necessary things done to make my claim go a little faster than most claims I guess. Mr. ** stayed in contact with me throughout the whole experience, to make sure that everything was go as planned or even better than expected. Filing a claim with State Farm was easy and fast, they helped with my needs at the time, when I was incapacitated.

    I would recommend State Farm agent Mr. ** to anyone that is looking for a good insurance agent, whom has the right knowledge and also shares a concern about their customers.

    A van hit me and I was hit from behind. Took my car to Jon Hall. When this accident happened I was at a red light. Two men were standing at corner. They had just left the church on corner getting help not knowing if they would walk across the walkway because light was red. Turned green, other car ahead of me drove on as I got hit from behind. I pushed hard in my brake, applied emergency brake as I didn't want to hit people standing on corner.

    I was told by my adjuster being hit from behind van had no brakes my car stopped it. That accident had nothing to do with brake noise that started as I left accident. They towed my car. Had to tell driver he was pulling my front fender skirting forward. They said brakes were checked. Well now I've had fan blade break, list breaks completely and have no working emergency brake. My car was never the same, had to have dashboard replaced. Seat belt light stays on. Car rattles. Passenger seat doesn't lock all from accident. Car is not same as before accident but they said not from being hit that day.

    They didn't take my concerns of brakes seriously. I don't think they checked them. Found out about emergency brake when my son-in-law was going to change my oil. Not even a month went by after getting my car back arguing with repair person said my insurance company said brake problem was not caused by accident. But I had no problems before accident. Had emergency brake when oil was changed before accident. They failed me. When it came to my concern about brakes. My car did a nose dive from being hit slamming in brakes.

    One reason I left State Farm... They have no clue as to what they're doing. I still need proof of prior insurance which I've been trying to do for several weeks. They have failed to email and fax this information to my new insurance company and when I went in to pick it up it was the wrong dates which has created more issues because now I need proof of cancellation since they printed off that I was covered until March 2018 when I canceled the policy back in October 2017! The office never answers my phone calls (as if my number is blocked somehow). I had cancelled with them back in October 2017 because they wanted an extra payment and I have been with them (for at least 2 and a half 3 years) ever since I got my car. I have now reached out to the customer care center who unfortunately cannot pull up my information so they are attempting to contact the office and get what I need. Ridiculous!

    On October 20, 2017 I was hit and knocked off my motorcycle by a person insured by State Farm. The woman was in a Ford SUV. Instead of sending a adjuster State Farm told me to take my motorcycle dealer. But the dealer wanted to charge $120 to write up an estimate and keep my motorcycle for 2 weeks to repair it. They wanted me to bring my bike in November of 2017. Almost 3 weeks from the accident. I never heard of having to pay for an estimate before. The lady that hit me got fined for causing the accident. The accident did minor damage and would have cost around $75 to repair. State Farm would rather pay around $200 for something that would have cost them around $75.

    Another motorcycle dealer said the motorcycle would probably be totaled out. I contacted my insurance company Aegis Security Insurance Company. My insurance company turned their backs on me. Makes no sense for such a small claim. My fear was the motorcycle dealer Action Motorsports would have kept my motorcycle if State Farm would have declined to pay the claim. I live on a fixed income and couldn't afford a couple hundred dollar bill.

YES you can switch agents, but in the meantime after having State Farm for over 20 years I changed my auto insurance to another competitor who gave me a better policy with lower rates.

    State Farm agent I had, was raising my rate every 6 months for no reason, no ticket, accident free, only put on 5000 in a year, but my rate was going up. Now that I dropped my Auto with State Farm, I'm dropping my Homeowners Insurance. Seems like this so called agent at State Farm has more clients complaining on the raise in rates. Oh and she doesn't pay for employees since the employees come from the University as Interns! Maybe that is the reason why the raise in rates continue since nobody knows what they are doing, and I was tired of calling about the raise in rates every 6 months to get it lowered.

    On Jan 1, 2018 me and my family was in a hit & run. I reached out to State Farm informing them that another vehicle struck my vehicle on my (left) driver side sending my vehicle into a curb near the entrance of the Mall, there was also black ice outside which made my car continue to lose control. I spoke with Natasha in claims and while she was assisting me in my claim our call became disconnected. I then received a message from Natasha stating to take my car to Gerber Collision on Baltimore National Pike and Hertz rental car service will pick me up from there. Upon arriving to the collision place no one was there to assist me. So when me and my family was able to get home I contacted a lawyer on behalf of assisting me in my case. On January 10 I received a phone call from my agency Alonzo Howard office stating that the check for my vehicle could not be issued until I get the title to the vehicle.

    I didn't spoke with office manager Natasha ** and she told me that she spoke with someone named Chad and he insisted that no payments should be issued out yet. I spoke with Chad from the investigation office at State Farm on January 11 at 10:00 AM. He insisted that he needed a recorded statement which was no problem for me and my family to do. It is now January 23, 2018. State Farm has issued an $18 payment out to Gerber Collision and $7,775 payment to All Car Leasing Inc. for the payoff of my vehicle. The whole total balance of the estimation that State Farm had given me for the total loss of my vehicle was $9,100 and from the $9,100 that $7,775 my leasing company has received payment for would, the remaining balance that was supposed to been issued to me never been issued.

    They told me that my check would be has it in for my account 2 to 4 business days and not yet have anything been deposited into my account. I presented all evidence and not once yet received anything back from State Farm. Unbelievable what State Farm and Gerber Collision has done to my vehicle and now they don't want to pay out the money for uninsured motors nor my medical bills, They demolish my vehicle at the collision place and left me without a vehicle and failed to tell me until four days later what the estimate would be for the total cost of my vehicle.

    My car was working before the accident and now they don't want to pay for the repairs. What good is it to have the outside fixed but the car does not run? Insurances are the devil. Stupid world rotates around greed and money. It's pitiful in soo many ways. Everyone should just stop paying insurances... A boycott needs to transpire.

    I have been with my carrier for over 50 years and never been able to find another company different enough in any area to make changing worthwhile. They all seem to be the same. The staff changes so much that you never know who you are dealing with, though. I do not feel that the franchise holder is really interested in the clients, only in how much money he will make. Their rates are too high, too many exclusions in the policies and service can occasionally be slow. The company in general is in the category where they feel too big to fail, and if they did not influence politics and much of regulation could easily lower their rate structure. The legal structure is sharply slanted toward the insurance company and not the policyholder.

I called State crap and explained I need to be able to have a dog, and the first thing said to me when I mentioned a different rental company was "out of pocket", then I asked if they were going to pay the fine and I was put on a long hold where I got to get madder and madder that the words "out of pocket" were even uttered and I was already clear that even when it is completely liable, this company will make you fight them and they don't give a damn about you.

    When the hold ended she was trying to tell me (as if she was doing me a favor) that she got me approved to go find an Enterprise and start the process all over again even though I needed to go to work. This company has one goal and that is to do the very least they have to for their claims while inconveniencing the people they are liable to as much as possible. Now I'm waiting to see the value they give my vehicle, it won't surprise me if they try to give me its value after their client totalled it, I'm sure they are that kind of company.

    But all this I complained about they dismissed when took car to get oil changed. They told me about emergency brake not working. My car sets low. Took a nosedive when it was hit and when it was towed from my house. I had to tell driver he was pulling my skirting forward. So I don't think they took my concerns seriously.

    The person in charge of my car and what was wrong with it didn't know how to do his job. He's not person that looked at it at my house and I talked to and had me leave a note. It was a complete different person. Didn't find it out till after the fact found note stuffed in my console. He didn't know about it so repairmen probably moved it when they took out seats to put on new dashboard. Your Insurance company supposed to work for you and your best interest.

You could see 2 car lengths of brake/skid marks where he tried to stop. His words was, "Look I tried to stop." I'm short. Sit all way up to steering wheel at dashboard. Almost Over 2 years still car doesn't work well. Don't have money to replace until lawsuit is settled. Disappointed.

I finish my quote, then email him the next day about my concerns and regarding the quote, which was out of this world, stating that I was actually saving $800 or more per month, not six months, and quoting me a liability insurance rate for an old 2003 car that costs incredibly more than SR-22 DUI insurance. I sent him the email with that information, and he chose not to get back to me after that. In my opinion why would you send a letter to someone with your signature acting like you would like to represent an agency and make a sale, and then refuse to answer an email?

    I was hit and run by a State Farm client. The police located him and after first denying it, admitted to it reluctantly after corresponding damage and paint transfer was found on his vehicle. State Farm treated me as though I was the cause. The consistent rudeness, lack of interest and widely shared "not my problem" outlook of every single State Farm employee that I encountered was exhausting. In the end, I ended up with bills for a rental car I would have never needed had their client not hit me. Accidents happen, I can appreciate that but to disrespect the victim isn't just illogical it's poor business decision. I'm only thankful it wasn't more serious. I would expect them to be far worse. Shame on State Farm Insurance.

    I changed my life insurance to a return of Premium. After doing so my price keep going up on my monthly premium. Every time I asked no one had a answer. This last time I just canceled it. They didn't even try to explain to me why it was going up. Come to find out they hadn't charged me for two months previous. If they have just told me that I would have stayed with them but no they did not. They lied. They acting like they didn't know what they were doing. I was very dissatisfied and I lost a lot of money behind that. If I had known in the beginning I would not have spent the money that I spent with them. If they had only been honest with me.

    So this company are so good at communicating when it comes to sending monthly bills and calling when due dates are up. However when my car got stolen and was considered totaled, they had to issue me a check. All of a sudden it’s like everyone is stupid. I had to wait two ** months to receive my check after the offer was made and signed. ** customer service, it’s very obvious they don’t like paying their customers out. Cheap **!! OH and they knew that I was with a rent a car that they don’t cover for nearly a month, they ** send the check standard mail which takes 6-12 ** days! **. Thanks, I hope State Farm ** loses out.

    I have been trying to settle a claim with State Farm Insurance for nearly three years! I was in a no fault accident and they have made my life a nightmare trying to settle. Over and over they lost my paperwork, did not return my phone calls, continued to make me resubmit materials... I am not greedy, not trying to sue for anything... just get medical bills paid and a fair basic settlement. I have been stunned by what a nightmare they have made this process. I finally got a settlement amount and said, “Fine. Just send the dumb check so I can be done with you.” They said the check would be in the mail no later than 12/20/17. It is now 1/2/18. Still no check! I have never been through this process before and have been stunned by how horrible this process has been and the unbelievable stress it has caused. I am a nice, fair person and I hope I NEVER have to deal with State Farm Insurance again!!!

    Took several calls of being disconnected before getting a live person for a tow. They took all info and said they'd text with the specifics. Waited, waited, nothing. It is -16F today - which means they are busy, that is understandable. They finally called back and said they could not find anyone in our area (no return calls) and that I would have to just call the local police station and see if they could find me someone to tow me - at MY expense. That's it. No, "We'll keep trying to get ahold of someone" etc, just plain out, "We cannot help you!" (They did tell me I was welcome to call back in a few hours to start process all over again.)

    I have no money. Well, I had $50. I called and called around and no one would tow me because I had no way to pay (no, I don't even have credit card funds). Finally I flagged someone down who pulled me out for the $50 cash I had. Did I mention it's -16F today? I would have been absolutely fine with them telling me it would be this evening, tomorrow morning...anything but, "Sorry. We cannot help you." Now I am out that $50 and 27 years of roadside premium out the window! I will be quoting and moving my 2 vehicles and home insurance ASAP.

    I contacted State Farm to tow my vehicle because of a breakdown. They got the towing company and they referred me to an auto repair shop. They set up the tow to take my vehicle to the auto repair shop they recommended. The towing company that State Farm used towed my vehicle to an auto auction instead of an auto repair shop. The auto auction now cannot locate my vehicle. It is a holiday weekend so my vehicle will be missing for four days Instead of being in the repair shop getting fixed. State Farm would not give me a rental car so they left me stranded because of their negligence and lack of customer service.

    Sadly I cannot give them less than one star. State Farm Auto Insurance is one big scam. I started my auto insurance with them, they gave me a little device to place in my car, account online was confirmed, payments are going through and such. One day I had an accident, it took me an accident to know my insurance was cancelled without any notification. I was never notified, payments were still going through, they did not even bother to email me, call me or send me a letter.

    Because of them I was driving without knowing I had no insurance. Now, I’m still doing payments for a wrecked car as I want to maintain my credit score. I have enough proof of the above and I did file an official complaint. Of course when we called they blamed an employee saying they will conduct an internal investigation, how is that going to help me?

    The proof of an Insurance Company’s medal is how they handle claims. State Farm used to be highly regarded but has deteriorated to plain awful in customer care. My wife and I were rear-ended by a drunk driver and seriously injured. It’s been 7 weeks and I have spent most of those 7 weeks making call after call to try and get some resolution for my totaled car, head injuries and dealing with the other (uninsured) driver. Even with my uninsured motorists insurance plus my underinsured motorists coverage I have received exactly zero dollars for any part of my claim.

    I have rental car insurance. I tried to use that insurance and they have told me I’m no longer able because we’ve reached a “settlement”. I was really surprised to hear we had settled! I didn’t know of any settlement. When I remind them that I have not receive one penny in settlement, they told me we settled over the phone 3 weeks ago or so. They are taking advantage of two seniors by obfuscating procedures, and just ignoring requests for updates or action. I was told I am now responsible for $1,250 in towing and storage fees even though I turned the car over to State Farm right after the accident.

    I have been paying them for a life policy, earthquake insurance, homeowner’s policy, 4 to 5 auto policies plus a $1,000,000 umbrella policy for 45 years. About $300 a month currently or $3,600 a year. For this, I get treated with disdain in the form of incompetent claims agents, confusing areas of responsibility for each party in their company, inaction and contradictatory “rules” and “rights” I have as a claimant. They are refusing to pay on a $600 rental car policy that I paid premiums on for years and years. That’s only two months of my premiums. There is a reason people advise you to use an attorney if you are involved in an accident. To fight with your own insurance company. This is State Farm... not Joe’s insurance.

    My lawyer gave me a stack of papers that supposed to explain why State Farm hired a lawyer to find reasons why I do not deserve compensation for an event that occurred while trying to go home from work. After being forced to read the first couple of pages, I displayed apparent disbelief, angry, and embarrassment of what was documented in a fashion that decimates my character of my mental state and moral qualities. Everyone who knows me knows I been through a lot and has always wondered why I have not broken down, give up and or killed myself. The things that I have been experiencing is unknown or either drawn out which makes it hard to find a solution.

    Grant it, everyone goes through something, and they may have hiccups and some unpleasantness involved but, for me, it been a wild ride that I just want it to stop. What prompted me to write this out because I wished to share my experience to help others and invoke change in the way people are treated and documented by people who's only primary objective is a success with money rather than progress and prosperity of the person’s quality of life. I maintained a desire to be successful and prosperous from the accident. Which means, I went to doctors to assist me with healing and gain strength to move on and be mindful of being more careful not to attract careless people who try to destroy my life. The prosperity I am seeking, and I assumed that my lawyer was aiming for, was having an ease through the situation, plenty of help or resources to get over the case with encouragement at having a better life after the occurrence.

    When money is involved, the lawyers and doctors have proven that they lost sight of the purpose. Yes, bad things do happen to good people, and some wrong people get the good. What I did not expect in my wildest dream that most of the doctors who I partly trusted, paid for out of my pocket, and or with my insurance, documented occurrences to sum up my life by their opinion. The thought that the company I paid my hard earned money to protect me, “State Farm” hired lawyers and doctors to diminish and discount my actual pain and suffering from the accident. How did this happen? I didn’t go to the doctor or visited the same doctor for an extended period of time. I did not have entirely current insurance until now.

    I never really had a primary doctor because, in my opinion, they have made people sicker than better. I am aware of the side effects and the death that they have caused with the drugs that they prescribed. I do know based on the financial situation of patients they only do the bare minimum of care. Since I been in Minnesota, my finances have increased and have steady insurance. I have been prescribed more medication than I ever have in my life. I have been offered a wide range of treatment and prescription that has been very expensive to only made me tried, made me feel worst, gained a great deal of weight and or made me feel worthless. That is because, I just see doctors during the times of sorrow, pain, grief, and stress. I never went to the doctor on millions of my great days.

    I do have a complicated and busy life that I have handled on my own way raising two children who are 10 years apart, as well as being single, a family member, employee, and sole provider successfully for 24 years plus years. Yes, I have good and bad days like everybody else who are living. But for me, the bad do not define my life. My father and mother (who are still together to-this-day, before I was born) are hardworking people who instilled in me that for you to do great to have to do something. Sitting around being depressed and wallowing in self-pity is not an option. Laying on the bed and babysitting and licking my wounds never crossed my mind. I got a band-aid with some antibiotic ointment, took some ** and got up, went to work, and or took care of son and daughter, took care of myself and pay bills the best way I could. This something I have to do and will continue to do before and after the accident.

    Personally, I have preferred more holistic treatment such as massages, acupuncture, eating the right foods, exercise, and meditation and even talk therapy before seeing a doctor. The papers that the lawyer gave me on December 14, 2017, only confirmed that doctor is concern about the kickback they will obtain from the lawyers and pharmaceutical companies for their bottom line to their business. I forced myself to go to the doctors these past two months asking for a full examination to see what is really wrong. I wanted to know what needs to be fixed. Those tests are expensive, and the insurance company is flooding my mailbox and voicemail trying not to pay the claim hoping that the MVA insurance will pay for these test. Even though I met my deductible and faithfully paying my 10% co-pay. They don’t want to pay for what I need to know to better myself.

    Now I know my problems! The blessing is that none of it life-threatening. It hurts and uncomfortable at the time but, the great thing is that I can take care of these issues naturally. These past two months, I am seeing a chiropractor, well-being therapist, eye doctor, and a massage therapist. I take very little to no drugs, I wear my glasses faithfully, and I have been feeling much better now that I have I took ownership of my health and life. I have been walking more, lost some weight, I have more energy for my daughter and me. Top it off, I am doing great at my job. I have good and bad days with pain, but overall, I am happy. God has blessed me to be here this long, and I know by doing the right thing I will see more.

    In some ways, I think the two people who ran into me from behind may have done me a favor because I had got more support and encouragement from my current job than I did at the job I lost when I had the accident. Then State Farm also notated my DMV record which increased my rate so I would be forced not to go to another company. So while they got their well known shark attorney to dig deep into my life to deem me as undeserving. I was faithfully paying them my monthly premium. I was driven to find another company that worked for me to fix those errors and provided me the best rate coverage I ever had in 3 years.

    I love to have extra money to help pay my bills and do beautiful things for my family, friends and even myself. I am usually blessed with what I need to live life. Unfortunately, the insurance company and lawyers don’t think that at all, they want more and everything they feel that they are entitled to deem themselves successful and prosperous. We put a blind eye to stuff we feel we don’t have control over. Just like these sexual harassment cases coming up, they only accepted it because they were accuser is superior enough to make their lives miserable. So they don’t say anything.

    When seeing the damage occurred in their lives because of it and realize that they have been wronged it time to speak out. They spoke out because they did not like how they were treated and wanted to prevent this ever happing again to others. In my case, I have been told there is nothing I can do about the lawyers and State Farms' decisions because our justice system allows these behaviors because they too benefit significantly from it as well. Will it ever stop? Who will ever protect us from greed? Deeming people for the glory of money is not justice nor fair.

He accused me of calling several times asking for extensions, which was not me. I asked him for facts only later to find out it was not me. He never apologize!!! Then it was escalated to his manager Lola, whom was just as rude. I have been a long time client of State Farm... I'm extremely disappointed in their services these days.
