I just get a notice in the mail today when I get home from Progressive saying my policy was cancelled at my request on MAY 5TH, today is May 13th. I call them right away and they say the local insurance agent I go through "cancelled because of price and went to state farm". So I ask what happens now if something happens to the car. She says their policy is that if Progressive or the local agent made a mistake that I would be covered. I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't weasel their way out of that.

Of course now it's 8pm on a Friday and the local insurance guy who I've been buying insurance from for 10 years is closed until monday. My car isn't moving 1 inch until I get them on the phone on Monday.

THIS stinkS!!!!! I WAS SUPPOSED TO ENTER THE CAR IN A CAR SHOW TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! I JUST GOT DONE ZAINOING IT!!!!!!!

:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

I can't decide which I'm more angry about, that I can't drive anywhere this weekend or that I've been driving around with no insurance for 8 days.

 

It could be worse, you could be living in Massachusetts!

 

whoops this should have gone in the chat section

 

I'll move it, Dustin.

Hope you get things worked out!

 

What a bunch of crap. I can't believe they didn't call you and tell you what's going on. But, from the sound of it, you have insurance. I can't believe your agent would leave you uncovered.

 

Well if you want you can always go to
www.progressive.com
and get your insurance in less then 30 mins.
If anything check, then build it yourself and
maybe get it cheeper. I know it was for me.
$689 every 6 months. 50/100/50
unins. 50/100, 1k deductable, & 2k medical.
No tickets. No wrecks.

Which is about double the coverage of my
old insurance for my avalanche, for only $88 more.

 

I can't get new insurance because:

1) I would admit that I have no coverage, which I insist I still have

2) I would be admitting to a 10 day gap in insurance coverage would would basically screw my insurance rates forever

I'm paying $503 for every 6 months for 250/500/100 liability, 5000 medical and 100 comp/250 collision deductables. I'm 26, that's pretty good.

 

Wow, that's some great coverage. Are you in with parents insurance?

 

If it was me I'd track my insurance agent down and get to the bottom of this. No way I'd sit at home all weekend. I agree with an earlier poster, I seriously doubt your agent left you uncovered. Why would he do that?

 

I have Progressive too, but I like their service when you need them. So if they are a little higher or lower, I will stick with them. In my metro area they are lower though so I'm all smiles.

 

no

 

Hey there Dustin do you have a lot of recent tickets or unpaid violations relating to any car stuff that you may own ? I here that a lot of agents like here in British Columbia CANADA are not even looking at people if they have six speeding violations ! now this is mostly on the private sector mind you , also I do believe that they cannot duley tell you after that you have been approved and covered that you thus are NOT covered without a leagal document to support why. an idea that I would have done would if you know any police to run your Drivers Lic or Plate tag and see what they see ?

 

Dustin I know up here in Maine when you request to drop your coverage the agent makes you send him something in writing. He wont do it over the phone. I went through this last summer. I sold my boat and called to drop it and he made me fax him something. Sounds like he made a mistake.
