NJM represents a client who hit my parked vehicle on 11/30/2022. The vehicle hit was a rare custom ordered vehicle which I took delivery on 9/3/2022. **** client ram from the scene of the accident at which point a police report was filed with *********** Police. I subsequently found their client and updated the police report and opened a claim with NJM on 12/23/2022. I have filled out all requested paper work and provided the police report as well as photos of the scene and physical evidence linking their clients vehicle to the scene - this is also how the police determined there was no doubt about the vehicle being involved. I received little to no communication after opening the claim until I was finally told NJM needs 30 days from 12/26 to locate their client. I subsequently told NJM where their client is located to assist with their investigation. The 26th has passed and I am unable to reach the claims representative, ***************************. The claim number is ***********. It is completely unacceptable for a business to continue to give someone the run around who has done absolutely nothing wrong. Again, my car was parked and their client ran. I located their client for them and proved to police it was the correctly identified vehicle and driver which took time away from my life. I then provided all the necessary information for NJM multiple times and honored their 30 day period to locate their client. When it became evident they couldnt locally their client I did it for them. At this point enough is enough. Their client and NJM have done everything wrong and I cannot allow this to go unnoticed any longer.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: They said to wait 10 days and this is what they do continually is add time to "wait" with no resolution. This is the root of the complaint, wait for nothing to be done. Businesses should not be permitted to operate in such a manner.

A claim was filed through New Jersey Manufacturers due to a neighbor's water leak. The neighbor refused to provide insurance information. Our Townhouse was damaged and we paid our deductible and we will potentially have claim go against our insurance premiums. The first part of process was excellent. Now it's been almost 6 months and the Subrogation department is awful. They do not communicate with customer. I always need to contact for information. Contacted NJM Subrogation Supervisor, the Subrogation department person handling claim with no resolve. They reported, they are trying to work with ******** who is the neighbor's insurance provider. They stated they sent two emails and one voice mail to ******** and there was no response? I called NJM main office number to ask If I could talk to someone that might be able to push things along. They wanted me to continue dealing with the Subrogation department. Since Subrogation does not communicate well we felt it was necessary to ask BBB to assist. If additional details are needed we have all information of our claim documented. Thank You in advance for assistance.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: To date NJM has not responded to us directly only to BBB saying they will contact their client. I know they have 10 business days to respond, and we are currently on business day 7 with no response.

NJM continues sending mail to the former owner of ** ***** **** *** ******** ** despite the attention to (***** * ****** not living at this address since 2018. I have left notes on received mail several times noting to return it to the sender and that this individual no longer lives here. She is the FORMER owner. Today (1/13/23) I received yet another piece of mail to her attention and would like this to stop. I could not find a place on their website to directly file a complaint/contact them without providing a policy number which I do not have because I am not an NJM customer. I would like someone to notify them we no longer want communication to ***** or ***** ***** sent to ** ***** **** *** ******** **. *****'s last known address from our 2018 closing documents shows she was living at **** ********* *** ********* ** ****** but this should not be my issue to sort out. I have repeatedly asked USPS to stop delivering her mail here as well and have not been able to get this resolved despite multiple attempts, so I would like this business to update its information and cease further mailings to ** ***** **** *** ******** ** ******Business Response

On 2/1/2022 I purchased auto and home owners insurance for one year hence terminating my insurance with NJM. NJM sent a letter for both auto and home that if my 2022 premium was not paid that the policy would be cancelled. On 2/22/2022 an installment statement was sent stating that I owed *****. I called the office to question that since a payment was not sent by 2/2/2022 that the policy was cancelled. My homeowners policy with NJM was expiring 3/1/2022. I was asked to send a copy of new policy verifying that I had started a new policy with AAA insurance, that was faxed and received by NJM. I was tol d that I would get the balance left on the account totaling ******. Now NJM wants me to fax my auto policy from AAA. I asked why did they need to see the new AAA auto policy to get my balance due from my homeowners policy. BTW, I did cancell both policies with NJM, so the should send my money, please assist with this?Business Response
