    Being yelled at and disrespected by an Independent Adjuster for State Farm was both threatening and upsetting. My adult son twice asked him to stop raising his voice and to give me an opportunity to speak. The adjuster continued to raise his voice and then walked out without answering my questions. He was by far the worst representation of how to treat another human being let alone a paying customer. I expect the CEO of State Farm to personally reach out to me with an apology and explanation about the practices that resulted in selecting and training this person to interact with customers. After the Adjuster inspected our roof for hail damage, he explained that while our roof had visible damage and offered his opinion of the cause.

    He said, the damage he observed was most likely not caused by hail. In other cases, similar damage was caused by contractors walking on the roof, someone scraping lichens off the roof, or has poor workmanship during the roof installation. His comments insinuated that our contractors caused the damage or that we walked on the roof and caused the damage. He said that it is unlikely lichens since we don't have tall enough trees. I tried to ask him how he decided that it was the contractor or us that caused the damage. To me, he insinuated that we hired a poor contractor or damaged the roof on our own. He never allowed me to ask my question because he raised his voice and continually talked over me. In the absence of other evidence, I can only conclude that State Farm has no interest in providing good customer service.

    This is regarding an auto accident where your member hit my car that was parked. Because I am not able to have insurance of my own they would not pay for the insurance on the rental. But the little ** girl who car was also hit along with mine and my car was newer and of much more value was able to not only get a rental but not a little jetta that was only available to me said by Hertz...

    I live in Oklahoma and the state has had numerous earthquakes in the past few years. I've had earthquake insurance added to my homeowner's policy in the last 2 years. We had, for our area, a major seismic event on September 3, 2016. It being Labor Day weekend I called State Farm claims and left a message. A man did call me back within 24 hours. A investigator came out that week and took numerous pictures and measurements. I was told a Structural Engineer would also need to come out and do an evaluation. He came a week, on a Monday, following the event. He told me State Farm would have his verbal report in the next day or 2 and his written within the week. I attempted to follow up online with my claim. That has not been updated since the first week. I called the structural engineer once a week for 2 weeks. He never returned my phone calls. I called my agent again this past Friday. It's been 5 weeks since the claim was made.

    I'm suppose to find out today if they're going to help me with repairs. Their customer service has been lax and haphazard. The claim site has not been updated, the State Farm investigator has been abrupt and not forthcoming with updates. My house is listed for sale and the earthquake damage has lessened the value. I really hope they pay, as I have already invested the earthquake insurance deductible into repairs. Very poor service indeed and this is before I find out if there is going to be any reimbursement.

    Last year my dog was protecting the property and unfortunately bit a neighbor. I placed a claim with State Farm which they paid out less than $2,500 in medical bills. I'm on a fixed income so this was more than I can afford. I have been with State farm for over 20+ years and they cancelled my policy. As a senior citizen on fixed income this is devastating. When I spoke to the agent they never warned me that by placing a claim they will cancel me if not I would have looked into other options.

    A State Farm Fire and Casualty customer since 1974. This summer, while I was out of town, high winds and hail damaged houses within a 5 mile radius of my house. Came home, saw all of these contractors in the neighborhood, and sure enough hail damage. Small tree fell onto my shed, roof damage, gutters, all about $10,000. 2 months later, State Farm notifies me it will cancel my account as of Sept 30, 2016. WTHeck? I call my agent, who says he was recently canceled as well, and had to appeal. Seems State Farm has a new underwriting computer system and it is taking a hard line on homeowner's insurance. He said there was little he could do. WTHeck? Like a good neighbor, State Farm is no longer there. Insurance as long as you don't use it. The image of being there for you is gone.

    My agent's advice (someone who feels like he is more focused on building his book of business than keeping me insured) says there's little he can do. Their image is tarnished, so much for State Farm. 4 cars, 2 life insurance policies, and now I need a new home insurer. Seems State Farm, and perhaps everyone, shares their information with every other major insurance company. (So much for personal privacy.) So, it will be difficult to get homeowner's insurance from anyone given State Farm shares they have cancelled you. You trust, you pay, and they let you down. Customer service? The agent doesn't pick up the phone, it goes to SF support center, who can't help you. Value? Well I used to get great value, but this appears to be the new State Farm Coverage? Whole house fire and casualty.

    My family and I have been fighting with State Farm since June 7 about our roof claim. I have had the same 2 insurance adjusters to my home 4 times in 3 months. Our home is unlivable, due to black mold, which is caused from the roof leaking in multiple places. We have an estimate for the roof for $8300, an estimate for mold removal for $4800. And State Farm has only given us $3500. They said the roof ISN'T leaking, there's only one shingle out of place, and the claim is now closed. We are now renting a trailer 11 miles from home, which took 3 months to get. Before that, we were living back and forth between a tent in our front yard, hotels, and friends and families' couches. Our 14-year-old son fell in April and fractured his hip. Black mold causes Myosotis, weakened bones.

    Our 16-year-old daughter is in remission of stage IV Burkitt's Lymphoma cancer, which is caused from Mono, and a weakened immune system (very possibly from the black mold). We need justice. This is wrong. In February 2010, we had a claim with State Farm, because our bedroom carpet and corner wall was wet. They said it was where the snow was melting and leaking under the shingles. We had to replace carpet, drywall, and insulation. It's doing the same thing again. State Farm is trying to get me for insurance neglect (fraud), saying it was NEVER repaired. All they have to do is tear into the drywall. They'll see it's different insulation, drywall, etc. They just don't want to pay. The center walls, around the AC unit and hot water tank are all needing replaced, due to the leaking. If it had been fixed 6 years ago, it would have never been this bad. And my family wouldn't be so sick.

    After 31 yrs paying for coverage of my mobile home, I found out that if you are paying, for example $20,000 coverage, you will not get $20,000 if something happens. You will get what they say it is worth at that time, and to top it off, they just went up $20.00 per quarter on my ins. My agent Jim ** of Greensboro, NC was disrespectful and after 31 yrs just ask me did I want to cancel!! And I did!!! He did not seem to care. I guess business with me for 31 yrs and living in a mobile home did not mean anything to him. I am just a retired U.S navy man with 32 yrs service to my country and where I live didn’t mean much to him. I can’t say on here the language I learned while I was in the navy...

    Have had State Farm for 30 plus years. Home Insurance: Went to file a claim when First Energy's transformer was not maintained and a large limb fell on the line coming out of it creating short circuits throughout our home and damaging our stove, fridge and garage door opener. The agent said it would be in our best interest not to file as State Farm would raise our rates. Auto: Bought a new car and our insurance went up a whopping $80.00 per month for a mere 4 door sedan. BILLING! Due to their insurance tactics, we ended our coverage and found way better rates with same coverage from various companies. Someone at their office didn't cancel our insurance when our new insurance (other company) started and they billed us for an additional month. They deducted directly out of our account but WOULD NOT put it directly back in and it was 2 weeks before they sent our money that didn't belong to them.

Pest company was able to find it and it was in the furnace. They cut it out then they disposed of it. There was a lot of body fluid In the fan and furnace. The cat had also broken heating coils. The furnace and HVAC company came out and gave me a price to clean and repair, also clean the ducts. After paying on this house for over 7 years State Farm like a bad neighbor refused to help in any way. They said if it had been a raccoon, possum, rat or other animal they would cover it.

    I have been with State Farm for a few years now. I am a tenant in a home that had water damage from the upstairs bathroom through the 1st floor bathroom causing water loss and damage to my things. The inside adjuster is great with me, but Ben from State Farm couldn't see where the leak was coming from. He then says "till you know where I'm red flagging your claim due to a prior renter water loss basement flood!" Really.

    I'm a renter who carries renters insurance for that reason, they take the money, so he kept on discriminating a prior water loss and put it under investigation. I think he's as well racist cause him and my Landlord were fine but I'm the insured, how am I suppose to know where the leak is coming from? Isn't it their job to send out a professional? Then he says "you're our insured, you're our priority, our priority turned into find out what cause us (There's visible water damage)." Until cause is known???? What the hell you're smoking?

    After a catastrophic storm in Ohio and several other states we had damage to 2 apt. roofs. We called immediately to file a claim after the roofer told us about the damage and cost. We never heard from State Farm so we called our agent who then called the person handling the claim. We finally heard from them about a week after filing the claim. The adjuster then called the next day and said it would be 2 more weeks before he could make it to our location. After the inspection the adjuster said they only would pay for 1/2 the roof because the damage had to be visual, like roofing missing. Part of the roof was missing but the other section had sections that was raised up in the air and when you pulled up on the sections it showed they was not attached to the building.

    It was like they was just laying on the building and had been pulled away from the wood. He said that if he could not see visual damage they would not pay. The roofer told him that if it was not fixed that the next wind would rip it off. The adjuster did not care to even take a closer look but went on his way and said what he says is what he will claim. We have called the overseeing agent in another state and have not been able to reach him nor have we received a call from him. The roofer said we should not let this pass because there is a problem with the total roof. The adjuster has called me already and said he will issue a check for the amount he said and will not wait til we discuss it with the other agent. This adjuster acts as if he is God and makes the last decision so we will see what happens.

    State Farm put my family through years of stress. After Storm Sandy blew huge trees onto my house, crashing into our kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom leaving so much damage inside and out, we did what we were suppose to. Called the next day to put in our claim, took pictures of all the damage we could find and waited for State Farm to come do their inspection. State Farm thought $20,000 was fair. Knowing that amount was a ridiculous amount to repair everything, we had to hire others to help us. We had 3 different people go through our home to do estimates for the repairs. All three estimates came in well over $100.000. Even the people that came in to inspect my home for a state grant that I applied for found that the damage they would repair was extremely higher.

    Keep in mind a state grant will only make repairs to make your house livable. For example: Sandy destroyed our deck. The grant would only pay to put cement stairs out the doors, instead of replacing the deck. Still, to just make my house livable the state grant decided the repairs would cost $70,000. It took my family, Adjusters, Appraisers and Lawyers three years to come to a conclusion. Exhausted, we ended up settling for way less than even our lowest estimate. We had to pay the adjusters, the appraisers and the lawyers, but without them we would have been stuck with the initial amount State Farm wanted to give us. We settled with State Farm and returned the grant money. State Farm has been our insurance company for over 15 years. We had one claim and that was Storm Sandy! It has been an awful and outrageous experience and I'm glad that part is finally over. We are still repairing our home and it’s been almost 4 years!

    I was a customer of State Farm for over 52 years. My auto insurance went up twice last year, the last time $10.00 per month or $120 years. I have not had any claims and when I asked my agent about the discounts I received which are not broken down monetarily on my bill, he could not tell me. I then began to search for another company. In April I called State Farm to cancel my insurance on both of my autos and my homeowner insurance. I was due a 1 month refund on the auto and a 6 month refund on my homeowners. I received the checks for the auto last week after several calls to State Farm customer service. I called today to inquire about my homeowners refund and after talking with an inept person, was transferred to a supervisor (?).

    I was told that they could see where I had called in April to cancel as of May 2 and had made several other calls since that time, that I was told my homeowners cancellation was in line to be reviewed by the underwriters department on July 15th and I would get an answer then. What answer! I want my check. They are not paying me interest. I asked why it took so long and they said that they take them as they come in and they are behind. So it has taken over two months to be put in for review on July 15th. I guess that proves that State Farm has a lot of claims to review and are not in any hurry to refund money due to me. I have never been treated so rudely by a company in my life. We had the same agent for over 50 years until he retired. He cared about his customers.

    The agent that I had could not answer why my insurance went up other than that I live in Maryland and Maryland has a lot of claims, although not from me. I asked how the discounts were figured out and exactly what each was, not a total. He could not tell me. He said State Farm does not share that information with their agents. The last I heard from him through the secretary was that he could not do anything for me unless I lowered my coverage. What about all the advertisement about Discount Double Check that could save me over $400.00? I am so disappointed in State Farm. Not only for myself, but for my entire family who I steered to State Farm. What a way to treat their customers.

    I have filed a claim with Maryland State Insurance Commissioner about the rate hikes and was told that State Farm put in two request for rate increases, one in November of 2015 which was approved and one in December of 2015 which had not been approved when I received my bill in March of 2016. I was told that State Farm could charge the new rate in hopes that it would be approved. I asked how I would know if it was not and was told that State Farm would notify me and refund any overcharge. Fat chance.

    My husband has had State Farm Insurance for 37 years and never looked elsewhere for insurance in those 37 years. We have had Renters, medical, our homeowners insurance and our vehicles and our 4 children's vehicles when they became 16 covered by State Farm over the last 37 years. We also had a life insurance policy on me. May 2015 we had a wind storm that blew off part of our roof. We made a claim and had the roof replaced and paid with our own money to have gutters replaced. We had a 1,100 deductible. In September 2015 our house caught on fire. It was an electrical fire in the attic and luckily we came home and called 911 and so it was not a total loss. The house was repaired and finished in December. In January 2016 my husband was diagnosed with a rare incurable neuromuscular disease. He had to go on disability.

    It was devastating to us and difficult to deal with the uncertainty of what the future held for us. Then the stress added to us when State Farm dropped our homeowners insurance in March 2016 and we had 30 days to find new insurance. The stress of being turned down by insurance companies over and over again because of claims that we had no control over was devastating as well. We did finally find insurance but because of the disease my husband has and what we went through because of State Farm we decided to sell our home and move in with our son. Then to top it off State Farm raised our car insurance because we no longer had homeowners insurance with them. We changed car insurance to another company and it saved us some money.

    We paid monthly for our State Farm insurance and when we added vehicles we always had to pay in advance but when we got a refund from State Farm it wasn't but 70 some dollars and we were told by our agent that we skipped months but that didn't make sense because our payment was automatically pulled out of our checking account every month. Every time I see a State Farm insurance company commercial I get so angry and upset all over again. I have been told over over again by other people that is what all insurance companies do. I can't understand how they can get away with putting people through the stuff we have been through. And then they lie in their commercials. This should be against the law. I realize State Farm didn't cause my husband's disease but his disease gets worse because of stress so he was worse dealing with the stress State Farm caused.

    April 28, 2014, our house was hit by a tornado, which torn off of our roof, lifted the same corner of our house 3 inches, and rain poured for days (even though we tried to keep tarps on it). Long story short, they fixed the roof ($7000) and paid for the contents destroyed by the incoming rain in our master closet. Then their claws came out. What a week ago had been called a tornado, now they started referring to it as a "wind event." Their engineer claimed our house was settling that's why it's not level. When does a house settle upwards 3 inches? They refused to discuss it. The entire house is level and plumb except the corner of the house where the roof tore off! Also, all the water that came into our house damaged the wiring, making our electricity surge randomly, which in turn has caused most of our appliances to burn up. Electrician said our house is a fire waiting to happen.

    State Farm apparently "owns" most of the state of Tennessee. We never found a single contractor who would even come out to give us estimates on repairs when they found out our insurance was State Farm. They want to keep their options open for working for State Farm in the future. We finally found one engineer who would come out to give us his opinion. He agreed with us in person but later during depositions (yes, we sued State Farm), being less experienced than the expert State Farm uses regularly, our engineer was considered "less believable."

    We were told that if we went to court, the jury would most likely believe the State Farm expert over our expert. We ended up settling with State Farm for pennies. I'm beyond angry and disgusted!!! We have been with State Farm for about 15 years. Small claims on home or cars, they were great but watch out when you have a big claim. They have NO INTENTION of paying anyone other than their own engineers and attorneys. They will figure out a "legal" way of not paying you.

    Hello, I am writing to you in regards to a claim I filed for Hail Damage to my car. I live in Nashville, TN - Mt Juliet at the time of the damage. I was in the process of moving on May 10th, 2016 and was unable to park my car in my garage due to a large amount of items in my garage to be hauled off on May 11th, 2016. Of all nights to have to park in the driveway it was the night we had a very bad storm with large jagged hail. This hail was not your average round hail. I stood in my garage watching it pound away at my car.

    Because I was moving, I just did a quick look from a distance to see if I had dents. I had quite a few but decided to wait until I had closed my current home and my new home. I closed on my current home on May 20th and my new home. Then I had the task of moving out, moving in, a lot of work. When I finally had a chance to wash my car I then noticed hundreds of paint chips in the hood of my car along with dents. So on the following Monday I call my agent Darian ** (Was Carolyn ** when I moved to the Nashville/Mt. Juliet Area in April of 93). I have comprehensive coverage on my car so it was covered. I took my car to Apple Collection which is where I had taken all of my cars for the past 10-15 years if I was in need of repairs. I dropped it off on Monday June 20th and it is still there due to the adjustor insisting that I have rock damage on the hood.

    This is the problem I have with that statement. First of all, if I had already had that much rock damage, I would have already taken my car to be repaired because it is covered. Second, I purchased my car on 1/30/2014. The mileage on my car was 76,000 and today it has 86,000. I drive to work and home (6 Miles one way) on Lebanon Rd. - no highway or expressways. In order to have that much rock damage I would have had to be hit by rocks at least 50% percent of the times I drove and I would think if that many rocks had hit my car I would have one or two times had a busted windshield. My car still has the original windshield with no damage. The third thing is your adjusters are basically calling a long time customer a liar.

    This is unacceptable! They have told me I will have to submit another claim for rock damage which I refuse to do (even though it is covered) because the damage to my car is NOT rock damage. I am very disappointed with the service I have received and will be considering changing insurance company after over 25 years with this agency.

    Last fall our home was damaged by hail. The roof style is an antique slate. The tiles are fragile and several shattered during the hail storm. The roofer we consulted recommended roof replacement. We were told by State Farm representatives both on the phone and in person that it could only be repaired, not replaced. (Even before damage was evaluated.) The claim representative took a piece of tile from our yard and found a company he says will make repairs and match the Roof style. I've contacted this company on 3 occasions. They have not answered any of our questions and are not willing to do the repair work. The claim representative has told us that we cannot use the contractor we hired and signed an agreement with. We are in the position of deciding to reroof the whole house or try and find a company who will make repairs. Either way State refuses to cover the damage from the hail.

Here is the problem - I don't have external attachments like a garage or shed. I live in a town home. Also, the entire contents of my home might be worth about 40 to 50k.

    I only picked one star above because I could not pick none. 29 years as State Farm policyholders and they dropped us! One claim in the first 25 years for under $2,000 (tornado damage). We then went 20+ years without a claim. Then we had 3 claims in less than 5 years, so they dropped us. Was it our fault that we had hail damage? We subsequently paid the additional $1,500 ourselves for the upgrade to a class 4 hail resistant roof. In 5 years since then we haven't had any hail damage (it was inspected), even though thousands of homes in the area had hail damage from 2 hail storms.

    This upgraded roof would save us AND STATE FARM from hail damage costs in the future. Was it our fault that the temperature dropped to 19 degrees below zero and a pipe froze and burst? We had the new pipe rerouted 3 feet further from the outside wall (zoning codes had changed) at our voluntary additional cost. We also placed $200 of insulation around the pipe at our cost. This rerouting and insulation would save us AND STATE FARM from additional costs in the future.

    The nerve of us for having the temerity to control the weather in such a manner. They cordially accepted our premium payments for 29 years just to drop us as policyholders.

    Instead of judging us as having 3 claims in less than 5 years, why didn't they look at it as 4 claims in 29 years? Apparently they have the impression that they should profit from EVERY SINGLE POLICY! The upshot of all this is that the service was stellar for the first 28 years and then went to hell. With the last claim, communication sucked and we were greatly disappointed. Due to this poor service from the State Farm claims department, we were not totally disappointed to get dropped. This is hard to imagine, isn't it.

    Moved from Chambersburg, Pa to Alum Bank, Pa. Rates increased almost $400 a year. When I questioned why, I was told because we moved to Bedford County Pa and their rates are higher. WHY??? I worked for a Body Shop in Franklin County Pa and saw a high rate of deer hits plus higher rates of accidents to carelessness. I know insurance companies regulate every aspect of the auto coverage. This is the problem. This should be investigated.

    We have 6 rental homes that have been insured with State Farm Insurance for almost 25 years. We have had only 1 other claim. This past March we had wind damage on the roof. The wind blew off some shingles and the ceiling in the bedroom came down on the bed. I got a roofing contractor to go up in a rain storm and cover the leaking area with a tarp. I contacted State Farm and they told me to get a restoration comp. to clean up the mess, which I did. The claims adjuster did not get out to the home until April 20. He only would authorize the repairs on the leaking area and 2 small areas that lost a few shingles. My roofing contractor told the adjuster that the weathered wood shingles have not be made by Certain Teed since 2006. He said he had to send a shingle to their lab to verify that, and that it would take a week or so. That was almost 3 weeks ago.

    My State Farm rep. in Atlanta who I have been calling regularly, called yesterday and told me that the Claims Adjuster forgot to send the shingle to the lab. I am almost at square one. The rep. now is telling me that he is sorry about what happened and that he will now stay on top of the situation. I am very disappointed with State Farm's Claim Dept. I have contacted my agent but I have not heard back from him yet.

    I came home one evening to find my basement flooded with water due to freezing pipes that had burst. I stupidly let State Farm contractors handle the repairs of the pipes. Boy was that a mistake. In my opinion, State Farm, or at least the agency I used in South Jersey bordered on being criminals. Insurance companies are so worried about being defrauded, but we as consumers must be MORE concerned about our insurer ripping us off. Here it is 8 years later and the same pipe allegedly fixed by the State Farm contractor cracked in half - NOT from freezing. It was 60 degrees outside. Basement more seriously flooded than before and the cost tremendous. The plumber asked me if a licensed plumber had done the previous work. That's how bad it was. He was surprised it had not cracked years before.

    As if that isn't bad enough, the plumber also found that another pipe that should have been fixed was never repaired at all. I would never be in the situation I am in right now if the prior work had been properly done. Now, it's costing me another $1,500 out of pocket plus a very LONG disruption in my life. I strongly advise that when a claim arises, ALWAYS hire your own contractors. Never ever allow the insurance company to send in their contractors. That was my first time filing a homeowner claim. We live and we learn.

    State Farm has had a steady decline in their customer service. I had very few claims with them in over 42 years. When I needed them they were not there like a good neighbor. They showed up after we had water damage,made a really unprofessional evaluation of the situation. The assessor didn't even look thru the large open hole in the wall. Didn't even bother to evaluate the damage inside the wall. This was all done in my absence and with my wife. I didn't fly home because I thought that I had a great insurance company that I could trust. What a mistake that was; when I came home I found out that the water damage was much more extensive than the assessor had determined - that was just with a courser look at the damage. The damage was so obvious that he could not have been missed.

    When I spoke with State Farm on their 1-800 number all I got was a runaround and was told just go ahead and pay for the damage and they would reassess to make determination if State Farm would reimburse. Quite frankly this is a deceptive practice in any legal term. Insurance fraud is clear. However in an instanced like this it seems that it is OK to deceive you as an insured party. This really is a deceptive practice that seems to be the hallmark of State Farm. After fatefully being insured by State Farm for more than 42 years with no complaints it was really offensive to be treated this way - so much so that I gave back their settlement and canceled all of my insurances (house, Car, RV) and removed all investments with State Farm.

    What a second rate organization they have morphed into, that is an organization that is no better than the lower rated insurances. Once I canceled the insurance I asked to speak with a customer service manager - after several weeks I finally was grant a call from Sate Farm. I explained what had happened and the attitude was that I should have been grateful for what little they offer and of course if I wanted to submit the repair bill they may decide to pay the claim or not. Again a total lack of concern on their part. What a shame after over 42 years with them and a certificate of guaranty not to be canceled. How foolish of me trusting my family to State Farm. I would not recommend anyone place their trust in State Farm and their services - recommend seeking out a new insurance company. If you're contemplating acquiring their services beware.

    A hose bibb outside my home sprung a huge leak. It flooded my kitchen and family room. I immediately shut off the water and called a restoration service. Then, I called State Farm to submit a claim. My claim experience with State Farm has been a nightmare. I wish I had never left Allstate, whom I was with for over 30 years. Sure, State Farm's rates are cheaper, but they will get you when you submit a claim. In the past when I submitted a homeowner's claim with Allstate, they took care of hiring people to do the repairs and the repairs were taken care of professionally and quickly. State Farm, on the other hand is the Walmart of insurance companies and treats you as if your business does not matter to them.

    Bottom line, they cut me a check that will not cover the repairs and they insist that they only cover what appears to be damaged. So, they expect me to find someone that will rebuild the bottom kitchen cabinet boxes only and will replace the countertop. They are giving me actual cash value, not replacement value, which means they don't want to pay for new cabinets because my cabinets were 20 years old. I can't find someone that only wants to rebuild my bottom cabinet boxes and State Farm doesn't arrange for repairs like Allstate does, so I am out of luck??

    I have been a customer with State Farm Insurance for 20 years. I have homeowner policy and two vehicles. When Georgia had a hailstorm some years ago, State Farm refused to repair the roof, even after I had an independent roof company to go up on the roof with their "adjustor." The claim was denied and State Farm would only pay minor repairs. My neighbors who had other insurance companies all had their roof fully replaced. So my question to State Farm Insurance company was that the hail hit all these other houses and missed the State Farm houses (there were two other neighbors who also had State Farm). So, here's the problem: They won't replace my roof, yet no other insurance company will pick me up because my roof. Recently, I contacted the Commissioner and still no help.

    Now, I have another house related problem which is with my bathroom. I noticed water spots in my den. The water spots are coming from my bathroom and the floors are sinking from water damage. I called the claims department told them what happened. Then an adjustor called me and told me before State Farm would cover any damages, I would have to hire a plumber and even then, they may or may not approve the work! Are you kidding me?

    State Farm Insurance company provides no services to policyholders but nickel and dime you to death. I have no had any major claims, yet, they don't send anyone to look at damages for the bathroom and only will take their adjustor's advice. Well, their adjusters work for them and how do we know that even they are legitimate? I have had it with State Farm's poor performance and lack of customer service.

How they really can separate the roof damage was not caused by the weather at all. If no bad weather, our roof may have another 10 years life. They also said the roof was repaired before. The contractor did not do sufficient job, which it is another reason for the damage. They won't cover it. Remember, you have to be sure any contractor you hired definitely did perfect job for your home. If not, any trouble occur in the future, then State Farm will not cover the cost if there is anything they think the previous work was not done perfectly.

The bracelet value in 2005 was $1770.00 - I have all the paperwork and appraisal. I contacted Jordan Phillips' office staff and was told I did not have coverage. I was told I needed to file a police report to say it was stolen from my house, etc... I was so upset. I went to the police department and filed a report. I told them what they told me and that I needed to file a report even though I know the bracelet was not stolen. After several calls the Claims Department finally called and said that was not true. They said I did have coverage up to $5000 with $1000 deductible. Settling down I started the process only to find out that my current appraisal is for 2896.00.

    In good faith I went to one of their jewelers as well for an appraisal. I was told their jeweler gave the estimate of $2006.00. I contacted their jeweler and was told State Farm never sent them the appraisal and picture of the bracelet that I provided them. I was told by their jeweler they need to follow a State Farm formula and quote wholesale prices - though I cannot purchase wholesale? I have asked for a manager and a 3rd estimate.

I told her that the issue at hand doesn't really matter anymore and I was continuing to speak to explain why and she very hurriedly for at least the fifth time after I told her to stop interrupting me said, "You're right. It doesn't even matter. So I'm sending you the form now. Fill that out and send it back." She also interrupted me when I very calmly and plainly asked her for a receipt confirmation of the charge for February since I was told at the beginning of the call that I owed $26 because I was also being billed for January, which isn't correct. I also wanted a confirmation that I didn't owe anything for January.

    ** ever-so-gruffly told me after I asked for a bill that they only send bills if something changes and I told her, "Well, that never happened." And she said, "Yeah because you're supposed to be on the automated plan." I said, "Right, but you just told me I was incorrectly billed because I was transferred over to another plan and I was not notified of that and now State Farm is saying I'm late on one of my bills." And then instead of just saying, "You're right. You should have been notified," she instead because she's so intent on proving that she's right and I'm dumb says, "Let me check my records."

    I have been a State Farm policyholder (homeowners insurance) for decades, even after my mom passed away and I purchased my "own" home four years ago. Mom and I never made any claims, but my agent and his office are responsive to questions on the few times I've contacted them. Well, here's my issue and out of necessity I will be rating State Farm VERY low because of this. About six weeks ago I was contacted by State Farm as the company's underwriters were authorizing "external" inspections of many homes in the area, so I gave them access to my backyard. Well, I got a call from my agent's office yesterday as the report was finalized, saying that I have nine months to secure an "inspection" of my chimney and that I also have to "add" a handrail to my back steps (there wasn't one installed when I bought the home).

    I have no problem installing a handrail, which wouldn't cost that much, but putting me on a "nine-month" directive to have my chimney inspected annoys me to no end! I told my agent that I have spent over $20,000 in repairs and upgrades over the last four years (probably more than most homeowners in that same time frame) and that I don't appreciate the strong-armed tactics. I told her that I replaced my entire heating and AC system and installed a new gas hot-water heater within months of moving in (and replaced plumbing lines with PVC in my basement) and that both my heating system and gas hot-water heater "vent" outside, not through the chimney.

    She said the issue in the report was concern over "pointing." As she read the report to me, the underwriter doesn't know "exactly" if I do need to re-point the chimney. Only that he insists I have it inspected in nine months! I told my agent that my money is already allocated for 2016, and a huge liability on my property (which State Farm missed) is the removal of my Bradford pear at curbside (to be followed up by repaving my sidewalk). I am the one taking corrective measures to remove the tree before it splits down the middle or before a large branch drops unexpectedly. The result of which could be harmful to a neighbor's car or property or could seriously injure a pedestrian.

    I am surprised that State Farm didn't even bring that up in the report! And repaving my sidewalk will remove any tripping hazard. Anyway, I have been a very proactive homeowner but can only spend about $4,000-$5,000 per year as I live alone and have a mortgage. I diligently try to make repairs as soon as I can, but I don't have a spare $50,000 to make them all at once. I will be looking for another homeowners insurance carrier very soon as I am most disappointed with State Farm.

Really? $12,000 worth of our belongings ruined and you aren't covering a penny? Had we known about said sump pump add on to the policy we would have purchased it.

A few weeks ago we filed our first homeowners claim in those 25 years when a plumbing leak dripped down to the first floor and caused damage. It has been a NIGHTMARE. It took me hours to get through to claims. Then the adjuster who came clearly did not know what he was doing. Then I emailed them a copy of the plumber's report that clearly stated that to fix the plumbing leak that caused the damage, the bathroom would need to be "torn up." The company denied the claim, other than $300 above my deductible. They said that they would only pay for work that was necessary to fix the leak. I replied that this was all I was asking for, and that the plumber had clearly said that the bathroom would have to be torn up to fix the leak. So, the manager said he would send out a new adjuster and have him meet with the plumber.

    The second adjuster said the same thing as the first - that the bathroom would not need to be torn up, even though the plumber was in the room and contradicted him and I had submitted the written report from the plumber. (I had agreed that I would fix the actual plumbing itself because I knew there was an exclusion for plumbing.) Then, the manager called me to say that he did not dispute the fact that the bathroom had to be torn up, but that my policy would not cover that work. If this was the case, why did they send out the second adjuster? Why did he suggest that they would cover such work earlier. The company tried one reason after another to not cover the loss. Unfortunately, Ms. ** was not an adequate advocate for us even after taking our auto and home business for 10 years. There are far cheaper firms and better agents.

Instead, the following week they sent a company to dig up the foundation to find out how deep the pipe was.

    They later denied the claim stating they don't cover water leaks below the surface! If I had known that from the get go, I would have handled this completely differently. I would have waited until I was ready to replace the cabinets before ripping them out. I have been without a kitchen for over a month! Additionally, I wouldn't have filed a claim. They are now telling me that this is a reported claim (which will affect my premium). I have talked to numerous homeowners and professionals and they have never heard of an insurance company not handling a water leak damage. All of our neighbors have had similar leaks and their insurance companies have paid the claims. After 25 years of loyal business, when I really need my insurance company to pay for damages, they will not back me up! I am extremely frustrated and disappointed!

    State Farm denied a very legitimate burglary claim without performing an investigation or any interviews. To solidify an accusation of Fraud, they told me the statutory guidelines had been exceeded. They followed that up by saying the original police report differed from final report. With a garage of over 100 boxes many rummaged through, it was the police that told us it would take time to inventory and to email the final report leaving off quantities and cost of items. It was all there in the report in black and white. We have since investigated them to the extreme and plan the largest slam campaign in State Farm history with several class action lawsuits which will be supervised by a law professor of an Ivy League University. Regular wires will be sent via PM WEB and the other wire companies that will blanket the United States. That is only an appetizer. They committed fraud because the policy owners are 91 yrs.old and one, my dad, now passed on.

    They humiliated people that have a flawless record and were ambassadors for several large Washington D.C. international peace groups. When many of them were told we were assured major political help as well. Time to stop cheating people as they regularly do. Look for names like SIU and Carol **, Doug ** seasoned con artist. Proven by the ratio of denials to payoffs divided by total sums of money. In other words they profile the larger claims and ones that are aged. I gave them 2 stars as not all State Farm employees are privy to their financial mishandlings. We are seeking grand jury indictments on the 2 mentioned and one level higher if they knew about the fraud. If not we demand they fire these employees.

    What is ultimately so tragic is State Farm was founded on principles and high standards. They are not a stock company and currently not returning profits to policy holders. If you work at State Farm we are offering $1,000 dollar rewards for confidential incriminating evidence but do so only if revealing a criminal aspect. Do not break the law. Currently we are data mining all public social comments from those suspected of fraud or knowledge of it. We know far more yet not revealing more at this time. Please contact us with your case if you want to be part of a winning class action lawsuit. We purchased ** though not releasing till we have cleared it legally. State Farm has sent us cease and desist papers, the deep pockets they have make us work harder. We promise on behalf of my late father Dale ** to settle the score 10 fold, restoring his honor and hopefully helping State Farm to stop their irrefutable criminal activities.

    I have four lines of insurance with State Farm. On December 14, 2015, I requested copies of my homeowners and umbrella policies. I received a "sample" homeowners policy. I have requested copies several times since and get nothing but excuses. The latest excuse is that the regional office does not have copies. Really? If I had a claim tomorrow, my agent could not download my policy on her computer? Interestingly, I have not received a copy of my policies since 2013. Without the policies, I don't know the specifics of coverage and exclusions. This is simply unacceptable.

    I own all of our property free, so got high deductible to keep rates down. Their online website is a joke, they do not keep you up to date. I had payments going out of my budget at the bank. They raised the rate. My bank told me they did not recognize payment, payment went unpaid as I had it set up automatically, I did not notice.

    Two weeks later into the month we had a limb fall on our deck at cottage, I called claims. She told me I was not paid for the month on Sept when it clearly said I owed nothing in Sept online. That is how I pay bills, no letter in mail stating cancellation. Ask lady if I paid for payment would coverage lapse, she said "No." I even paid for next month on phone with her, then she told me to contact agent, let them know of claim. They said it would take 6 days to show payment and I would not be covered, I told them that's not what claims agent told me. Then they tried to get me to lie and say it happened after later date. I do not lie. Then claims adjuster said I was not covered probably after find out it was large tree and deck.

    I had two cars, one motorcycle, one home of 30 acres and one cottage covered, never had a claim. They denied claim, they said due to no coverage during time of limb drop. The fault was theirs in no communication. After I filed claim I got all kind of mail from them, taking this to an attorney, switching ins companies. By the way, same storm a friend lost his garage, 35 thousand damage. They told him since garage was built in 1967 they were going to cover new cost from that time, which would be 12 thou. Beware of this company, they are changing the policy very quietly and sneaky after years of being with them. Oh and they raised my in rate again after all this... Looking into other ins as I speak.

    The most recent renewal notice included a 300+% increase in my deductible. This was after years of having a $1,000 deductible. We received no call or email from our agent about this so were surprised when we had a rare claim (pipe leaking and damage to flooring) and found out our deductible is now $3,600. The renewal was written so that if you did not respond the deductible change went into effect automatically. With this kind of change we should have been required to sign something or a simple email from our agent would have been nice. We will look elsewhere for coverage.

    I was a State Farm customer for almost 20 years. I had never made a claim, ever. It was for a property that my father had originally owned and I was renting out. Due to a pipe that started to leak there was water damage in the kitchen. I was told that my claim was denied based on the fact that I had not told them that I was renting it out. I think I told them but I cannot remember but that is not the point. After being such a long loyal customer that had never made a claim, I was more than disappointed that my claim was DENIED.

    We've had the same homeowners insurance company for around 15 years. Never had a claim, rates seem to stay competitive. I'm glad we have it, however, I do wish insurance companies would simplify their contracts. This is why most people hate insurance. Having homeowners insurance hasn't been a hassle, and it's rather comforting to know your home is covered "just in case'.

    I have a roof leak but 1st. I'm told clean off the valleys. The leaves hold water. I did as told and also cut back the only tree around my roof. That was April 2015 and now Oct. 2015 it leaked again due to heavy rain and winds. I'm Getting the run around. I have had 2 roofers and both said I need a new roof hail damage and wind damage. Now they say the roof was put on wrong. I Don't know what to do. I'm on disability and can not afford to replace the roof myself. I feel I'm being discriminated against every time they come out and look then they turn around and say something different and I know I need a new roof because the shingles are missing up there. I have all pictures of the roof of even had him go up there and put tar up there to stop it miss that the other but it's still its not working.

    So if I was anyone else please do not have homeowners insurance through State Farm. I haven't had a claim on my car and I hope if I ever do that they pay it immediately and not hold your money for depreciation until you repair the problem. Is there anyone here in Texas Mesquite.

    Back in July 2004, our small home caught fire. They determined it started in basement, mostly smoke damage but still had to be boarded up. 2 days later, was 4th of July and home was vandalized and was reset on fire because of the prompt "we thought great service" action by FAKE FARM. Boy I remember telling ex-wife how great FAKE FARMS was treating us. The rented a fully furnished apartment for 6 months, we received voucher checks, also food/clothes vouchers. Those 6 months went by fast but the insurance detector started making false insinuations about who they were suspecting had set fire, asking me about my wife at time and did I think she was capable, also asking her same questions about me.

    The apartment was re-rented for another 6 months. After a little while we really was getting impatient and wondering what the hell was going on. So I started making calls to them demanding that they need to settle. We had done everything they asked of us to do and why are they not moving forward. Suddenly I got a call from detective and was told they weren't paying the claim nor paying another month's rent, had like 15 days to move out apartment. My wife and I had really been going thru a bad struggle. We absolutely didn't have a pot to piss in and our property was by now being foreclosed up on. My wife at the time had problems with a previous surgery and they had to perform another. I did my best to find an attorney, the few that did give us time of day wanted $3500 just to look at all documents. We had to file a lawsuit, couldn't pay it.

    I also hadn't been working and since I'm retired because of disability from sickle cell disease and waiting on judgement for SSD to be approved. I was able to get help and save property from sale. Also I filed bankruptcy and in 2005 my marriage was dissolved. I would have just allowed property to be sold in auction but we had a small farm with several horses here and really it was all I had to my name. I since then have been in a serious depression. My home sits over in the shadows of hell.

    A few years back, I myself was able and blessed to do repair on the major damage that occurred to the house. Was fortunate and blessed to get a gift of a 60' x 14' mobile home that I myself hauled here on property. Sat on the existing concrete pads and installed all hardware and equipment to move in. A true blessing no doubt, but we lost close to 250,000 dollars. They also dropped all vehicles, motorcycles and boat from being covered without notification.

    My pride, faith and judgment was so ruined we had put trust and admiration in knowing we had built a rapport with FAKE FARM. Had been a trusted client for well over 15 years. We even kept our renter's insurance, added 20% to our existing coverage to make certain we were covered if something happened. We also were a young couple, this was our first home and didn't have the money, knowledge or experience to do nothing about anything. I was so stressed, I had been hospitalized that year alone 32 times. We couldn't understand or did we fathom the true repercussions of their actions.

    I know and feel that FAKE FARM willingly knew and blatantly took full advantage of our situation with our marriage, ignorance, finances, sickness and hospitalizations. This one instance has dramatically changed the course and momentum of our entire lives. FAKE FARM will one day harm and hijack the wrong family and catch the wrath I did so much want to deliver. I'm a decent hard working person, I've always dealt and treated people with the utmost respect. If anyone or someone that can truly help our situation out in any kind of way, we would be honored to appreciate it Thank you all. "SINK, SWIM OR SUFFER"
