      Refusing to process my auto claim for policy #*********.

      Najia ******* has had an attitude with me from the beginning, is asking for things that don't exist, that she doesn't need (such as my personal text messages - which is a privacy issue), and for things I've already sent.

      Progressive has every thing they need to process the currently open auto claim for this policy.
      Claim #************. These continuous, nonsensical delays are just an attempt to delay and avoid paying out on this claim.

      Hello Melissa,

      Thank you for sharing Mrs. ******** concerns with us. I appreciate the
      opportunity to respond.


      Mrs. ****** reported her claim after the
      at-fault party struck her vehicle. During our investigation, we needed to
      verify the date of loss and the use of the vehicle, as Mrs. ****** was driving
      for **** **** at the time.

      We determined that Mrs. ****** holds no liability for the incident. We
      completed an estimate for the damages, which are below Mrs. ******** deductible. While we cannot issue payment directly, we are committed to
      assisting her further by working with the at-fault party to explore options for
      covering the repair costs.


      We apologize for any frustration Mrs. ****** experienced during this process. We’re dedicated to resolving this matter
      promptly and fairly.

      If Mrs. ****** has any questions, she can call us anytime at *************

      I called progressive i believe in February or march inquiring about why I the autopay program was not being deducted from my account as in the app it states I am enrolled. I was told I am unable to get autopay as I had rejected payments, which was understandable. I asked why does it state in the app that I am enrolled. Was told it was an error but that my renewal was coming up in April and I would be able to enroll in the autopay program once I renewed. Which I did however I looked in the APP today and it wouldn't allow me to make changes or anything. I contacted customer service and was told I was given incorrect information that in a 6 month period I cannot have rejected payments. I let her know I was told by customer service that I would be eligible again once I renewed and I expect progressive to honor this. However they refused. This is false advertising and I don't remember signing anything about the autopay program rules and speculations. So in my book this is fraud.

      Hi Ms. Neal,

      Thank you for sharing Ms. ********* concerns with us. I appreciate the chance to
      address them.

      Ms. ********* policy began on October 23, 2024. We tried to process automatic
      card payments on November 28, 2024, January 28, 2025, and February 28, 2025,
      but each attempt was unsuccessful.

      We
      place Ms. ******* on a payment restriction on February 28, 2025.

      On
      May 14, 2025, Ms. ******* called us about her rate increase. We informed her that
      we removed EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) due to the declined payments. One of
      our representatives informed her that she could re-enroll in autopay when her
      policy renews. However, when she contacted us again at a later date, she
      learned that she couldn't be placed back on autopay due to the declined
      payments within a rolling six-month period.

      Our policy states that if there are two or more returned EFT or one-time ACH payments,
      or three or more declined automatic card payments within a rolling six-month
      period, we cannot reinstate automatic payments. The rolling six-month period
      starts from the date of the first declined or returned payment, and only the
      oldest declined payment is removed from this period. Unfortunately, we cannot
      offer automatic payments to Ms. ******* at this time.

      We will provide feedback to the representative who gave incorrect information.
      If there are any questions or further assistance needed, please contact us at
      800-999-8781 or email ******************************

      I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your
      understanding and support in resolving this matter.

      Hello
      Melissa,

      This letter is in response to your inquiry dated
      May 13, 2025.

      We’ve acknowledged liability for the accident. Our
      insured was responsible for causing damage to several properties. As multiple
      parties have filed property damage claims, the total damages exceed our
      insured's $10,000 Property Damage coverage limit.

      We’ve presented offers to settle all claims, but
      Mr. ******* has not accepted our offer. Recently, Mr. ******* informed us of
      further property damage, necessitating additional investigation to verify its
      connection to the incident and requiring new negotiations with all involved
      parties. We’re in contact with everyone involved and are actively working to
      resolve the claim within our insured’s policy limits.

      Please feel free to call me at 440-910-1830 with
      any additional questions.

      Sincerely,

      Tress *******

      I was involved in an accident 02/07/2025 where a vehicle that was insured by Progressive Insurance backed into my vehicle and caused damage. The vehicle owner did not have her policy information on her at that time but gave me her personal information as well as the police officer that responded to the call. I received her policy information through my insurance company. I then contacted Progressive Insurance and filed a claim. Approximately 1 and a half to 2 months later Progressive Insurance tells me that she doesn’t have coverage. I find it difficult to believe that it takes 2 months to determine if someone is covered by insurance. Now I have to contact the courts and law enforcement to go through another lengthy process that getting my vehicle repaired where a lot of time has already lapsed due to this companies, so called investigation of whether or not if a driver is covered by them. I believe they wasted a lot of time to find a way to not pay for the damages done to my vehicle. Either someone has a policy with them or they don’t. And why is it that my insurance provided me with their information and a policy number under them.

      Hi Melissa,

      Thank you for your letter dated May 12, 2025, and for sharing Mr. *********** inquiry with us. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.

      On May 7, 2025, we finalized our coverage investigation for this claim. We
      needed to confirm whether we had a valid and active policy on the date of loss.
      Coverage investigations can take time because we must allow our customers
      enough time to provide requested information. Additionally, we collaborate with
      our business partners, such as insurance agents and brokers, to verify
      information. We understand that coverage investigations can be frustrating for
      customers like Mr. *********, and I empathize with that. However, we have a
      duty to complete thorough investigations. Unfortunately, there was not an
      active policy with us for this loss. Two levels of leadership reviewed the
      coverage investigation before we communicated the decision. We called Mr.
      ********* and mailed him a letter confirming the decision.

      After receiving this inquiry, our leadership team reviewed the investigation,
      and we stand by it. As we do not have coverage for the accident, we are unable
      to address Mr. *********’s damages.

      I hope this helps address the concerns raised by Mr. *********. Please feel
      free to email ***************************** if you have any questions.

      Hi
      Melissa,

      Thank you for bringing ****** *****'s inquiry to our attention. I appreciate
      the opportunity to address her concerns.

      On March 31, 2025, ****** ***** had an accident with her 2018 Ford Edge, and we
      determined she was at fault. During our investigation, we found that ******** *****, who lives with Ms. ***** and is related to her, needed to be added to
      the policy. We added ******** ***** to the policy on April 2, 2025, based on
      the information received from claims, which increased the policy by $392.71. We
      issued updated policy documents to reflect this change.

      On April 8, 2025, we submitted a payment of $188.41 from the checking account
      on file. This was the original amount due before the change, and we couldn't
      update it because we couldn't give enough notice.

      We
      emailed Ms. ***** a payment reminder on May 5, 2025, for the amount due on May
      8, 2025.

      On
      May 8, 2025, we submitted a payment of $581.08 from the checking account on
      file.

      On
      May 14, 2025, we received notice from the bank that Ms. ***** stopped the
      payment. As a result, we removed the Electronic Funds Transfer discount and
      automatic payments, as we were no longer authorized to take payments from that
      account.

      On
      May 23, 2025, we issued an invoice for $1,040.51, which includes May and June's
      premium with the added driver.

      I recommend Ms. ***** call Policy Services for a policy review to ensure we are
      rating her accurately. She can also consider excluding ******** from coverage
      to help with pricing. Policy Services is available at 800-888-7764 and is
      always willing to help.

      On March 17th, 2025, My truck as struck by another driver while I was stopped at a stop sign. The accident was 100% the other driver’s fault. I filed a claim with their insurance company (Progressive) and was told that they’d be in contact within the next business day. That never happened. I called them multiple times. I sent text messages. After a month and a half, I was forced to file with my insurance company to have my truck repaired. I also filed a complaint with the NC insurance Commission. That prompted a phone call from Progressive to say that they accept responsibility for the accident, but that’s it. Since they ignored me for a month and a half, I already have the claim in motion with my insurance company though for the repairs and I don’t have rental car coverage on my own policy. If the accident was my fault, I’d pay for a rental car while mine was being repaired. The accident was not my fault and now Progressive is refusing to cover a rental car since I filed with my insurance company. I wouldn’t have filed with my company if they hadn’t ignored me for a month and a half. I feel that Progressive is 100% responsible for covering this rental car expense. They cannot simply ignore me for a month and a half and hope I go away. They need to take care of their responsibilities. The last page I was on while filing this complaint said you’d need an account number but didn’t give a place to put it. The insurance number for the driver at fault is *********. Can you help?

      Hello,
      Thank you for sharing Mr. *****’s concerns with us. We appreciate the opportunity
      to review this situation and provide details of the outcome.
      On March 17, 2025, Mr. ***** and Ms. ****** were involved in an intersection
      collision. Ms. ****** turned short and struck Mr. *****’s vehicle. The claim was
      reported to us on March 18, 2025, and we assigned it to an adjuster the same day.
      During the assignment, we discovered that Ms. ******, who was driving our
      customers 2012 Toyota Highlander, was not a listed driver on the policy. Therefore,
      we needed to conduct a coverage investigation in addition to the liability
      investigation.
      On March 18, 2025, we attempted to contact our insured, ***** ******, the owner
      of the 2012 Toyota Highlander, and reached out to Mr. ***** to inform him about
      the claim, the adjuster, and to request any pictures he had. We tried to contact Mr.
      ****** again on March 21, 2025, via call and text but received no response. We
      received the police report on March 24, 2025.
      On April 2, 2025, we spoke with Mr. *****’s insurance carrier, informed them of the
      coverage investigation, and obtained Mr. *****’s facts of loss. We attempted to
      contact Mr. ****** again on April 2, 2025, via call and text with no response.
      On April 16, 2025, we finally reached Mr. ****** to discuss the driver of the vehicle
      and obtain contact information for Ms. ******. We contacted Ms. ****** on April
      25, 2025, to discuss her driving the vehicle and to obtain a statement regarding the
      facts of loss.
      On April 30, 2025, we resolved the coverage issue. We contacted Mr. ***** on May
      1, 2025, to confirm that we had cleared coverage and accepted liability. Mr. *****
      informed us that he had used his insurance coverage for the damages to his
      vehicle. We assured him that once we receive the demand from his insurance
      carrier, we will review it for reimbursement.

      On February 11, 2025, my daughter had an accident. We have Progressive Insurance. The claim number is **-*********. I drove the vehicle to their suggested auto repair shop because the suggested shop was not too far from my home. I decided that I wanted another opinion, so I paid out of pocket to have the vehicle towed to my home and then paid out of pocket to have it towed to my shop of choice for a second opinion. Towing is part of an accident, and they did not pay for either tow. I have the receipts and emailed conversations with the Emily K. **** ***** * ****************************. I pay my premiums every month and this is unacceptable.

      Hi Melissa,

      Thank you for sharing Ms. ***** inquiry about her claim. I appreciate the
      opportunity to address it.

      On February 5, 2025, our customer reported the loss. We offered Ms. *** a
      choice of repair options, and she initially selected ***** **** ****, one of
      our recommended network repair shops in *****, New Jersey. This shop is
      conveniently located within three miles of Ms. ***** residence.

      On February 11, 2025, Ms. *** requested a second opinion and asked to move her
      2019 Volkswagen Jetta to *** ********* repair shop, ****** **** ********* in
      Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which is 85 miles from her residence. We informed
      Ms. *** that she would be responsible for the towing cost to her chosen shop.
      There are multiple repair facilities within a reasonable distance to Ms. ***’s
      residence that she could have chosen for a second opinion.

      We paid Ms. *** a reasonable towing cost of $250. If any additional information
      becomes available, we are prepared to review the claim further.

      If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at ************.

      Dear Ms. Neal,

      Thank you for sharing Mr. *********** concerns. I appreciate the opportunity to
      respond and am pleased to report the actions taken on the claim since the
      inquiry was filed.

      On July 15, 2024, the loss occurred, and we identified the driver involved as
      ***** *********, not his son ***** *********, Jr., who was also a listed driver
      at the time.

      On March 14, 2025, Mr. ********* brought the driver discrepancy to our
      attention. We updated the driver information to reflect the correct full name and
      date of birth.

      On April 30, 2025, Mr. ********* informed us that the accident was still
      appearing on his driving record. We verified that the liability coding was
      attached to Mr. ***** *********, Jr. and sent a memo to our Underwriting
      department. We explained the steps taken to Mr. *********.

      On May 8, 2025, Mr. ********* reached out again to inquire about the delay in
      updating the claim on his driving record. We noted that the alert was sent and
      was still being processed.

      On May 22, 2025, we updated the policy to show the accident as a Not at Fault
      accident effective November 9, 2024, when we added it to the policy. This
      resulted in a credit on the prior term of $174.07 and $166 on the current term.
      We issued updated policy documents showing the changes.

      If you have any additional questions, please contact me at ************.

      Sincerely,

      Cherie *******

      My name is ****** ******. On April 22, 2025, I was told by Progressive Insurance that if I paid the balance due, my auto insurance would be reinstated with no lapse and backdated to April 6. I followed their instructions and paid via Western Union. After payment was confirmed, a representative asked if I had been in an accident. When I said yes, they refused to reinstate. I was scared, needed my insurance, and corrected myself under pressure. They reinstated the policy anyway. Later, I found out the other party had filed a claim, and Progressive denied me coverage—despite accepting my payment and reinstating me. I never filed a claim. I now face financial harm and liability exposure while Progressive continues to process a claim under my policy. I’ve filed a formal complaint with DOBI and submitted a sworn declaration. I want this addressed publicly to prevent this from happening to others.

      Ms.
      Neal,

      We
      received your inquiry of May 8, 2025. Thank you for forwarding Ms. *******’s concerns
      about this policy and claim. I’ve reviewed the file and I’m happy to provide
      additional information about what has happened so far.
      The incident was reported to Progressive by ***** Insurance on
      April 25, 2025. According to *****, the time of the accident was 9:25 AM,
      involving two vehicles: Ms. *******'s and the ***** policyholder's. The police
      report, however, recorded the time of the accident as 10:23 AM. The Progressive
      claims representative contacted the ***** driver, who confirmed that the
      accident occurred around 9:25 AM. The ***** driver explained that they
      initially called the police at 9:25 AM, but no officers were dispatched as
      there were no injuries. Because one vehicle was not drivable, the police were
      contacted again at 10:21 AM, arriving at 10:23 AM, which is reflected in the
      police report. The ***** driver provided a photo from their cell phone showing
      the initial call to the police was made at 9:27 AM.
      Upon reviewing Ms. *******'s policy, our records show that her
      policy was canceled on April 6, 2025. Ms. ******* attempted to reinstate her
      policy on April 22, 2025, at 10:03 AM. Due to her payment history, she was
      informed that payment must be made via money order, cashier’s check, or Western
      Union. Ms. ******* made a payment on April 24, 2025, at 8:57 AM and provided a
      statement of no loss to reinstate her policy without a lapse.
      Our claims investigation revealed that Ms. ******* provided a
      false statement of no loss. The accident occurred on April 22, 2025, at
      approximately 9:25 AM, which was after her policy cancellation on April 6th and
      before the policy reinstatement and statement of no loss on April 24, 2025.
      A claims denial was issued to Ms. ******* on May 2, 2025. The
      claim was denied due to fraud and misrepresentation, as Ms. ******* knowingly
      concealed or misrepresented material facts when reinstating her policy and
      providing a false statement of no loss. Although Ms. *******'s 2018 Mercedes
      had a $1,000 deductible, no payment was made due to the claim denial.
      As outlined in her policy contract, her policy will still
      provide minimum liability limits (25k Property Damage and 25/50 Bodily Injury
      for third-party claims). Additionally, a law enforcement referral was completed
      regarding Ms. *******'s involvement in fraud and misrepresentation.
      I have enclosed a copy of the denial letter for your review. Below is
      the policy wording for the basis of the coverage denial.


      PART VII –
      GENERAL PROVISIONS 

      FRAUD OR
      MISREPRESENTATION 

      This policy was
      issued in reliance upon the information provided on your insurance application
      and the coverage selection form. We will not provide coverage, and may void
      this policy at any time if you:
      1. made incorrect
      statements or representations to us with regard to any material fact or
      circumstance;
      2. concealed or
      misrepresented any material fact or circumstance; or
      3. engaged in
      fraudulent conduct;
      at the time of
      application or at the time of renewal. This means that we will not be liable
      for any claims or damages that would otherwise be covered.

      Any changes we
      make at your request to this policy after inception will be made in reliance
      upon information you provide. If you:
      1. make incorrect
      statements or representations to us with regard to any material fact or
      circumstance;
      2. conceal or
      misrepresent any material fact or circumstance; or
      3. engage in
      fraudulent conduct;
      in connection
      with a requested change we may void the policy or reform it as it existed
      immediately prior to the requested change. We may do this at any time,
      including after the occurrence of an accident or loss.

      When we have not
      voided or reformed the policy, we may still deny coverage for an accident or
      loss if you, in connection with the policy application, in connection with any
      requested change, or at any time during the policy period, have knowingly
      concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance or engaged in
      fraudulent conduct and that concealment, misrepresentation, or fraudulent
      conduct was material to a risk we assumed.

      We may deny
      coverage for an accident or loss, for which coverage is sought under this
      policy, if you or a person seeking coverage has knowingly concealed or
      misrepresented any material fact or circumstance, or engaged in fraudulent
      conduct, in connection with the presentation or settlement of a claim.

      If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at 856-780-4625.

      Auto insurance policy number *********
      I possess Progressivecomprehensive glass coverage and have a cracked windshield, yet they are requesting a payment of $1,000 from me. I have a recorded telephone conversation with a glass representative stating that I do not have glass coverage. However, he is unable to verify this since I completed the application online. I am aware that I have been paying for this coverage. They mentioned that if I had completed the application over the phone, they could have accessed the call recording. Nevertheless, they claim that their online application cannot be incorrect? Every vehicle I have insured has consistently had glass coverage. Therefore, I intend to share the recorded telephone call on various social media platforms. Additionally, I experienced five disconnected calls while being transferred. I believe they are taking advantage of me, and I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, as I refuse to pay $1,000 for a windshield replacement that should be covered at no cost. Furthermore, they also mishandled my Snapshot device. The device they sent was defective, resulting in a $35 monthly rate increase for the past three months without notification. They sent a return box, which I used to send the device back, but they claim that they have not received it, which I believe is untrue.

      Hello Melissa,

      Thank you for sharing Mr. ******’s concerns. I’m
      happy to let you know that we have resolved this matter for him.

      We work with Safelite, a glass vendor, to help our
      customers with their glass claim reporting, repair needs, and invoice
      processing. On May 7, 2025, Mr. ****** reported a glass loss through our
      vendor, claiming glass damage that required replacement. We verified coverage
      and found a $1,000 Comprehensive deductible applicable to glass. Mr. ******
      requested a further review, asserting he had selected the full glass coverage
      option at policy inception. We referred the claim to our glass resolution team
      for review.

      On May 8th, the newly assigned file
      owner thoroughly reviewed the online policy purchase and coverage options
      selected, finding no errors on our part. The file owner spoke with Mr. ******,
      advised him of the findings, and reiterated the deductible. Mr. ****** disagreed,
      recalling he had selected the $0 glass option, and said he would elevate the
      matter further.

      Your department and our social media group received
      additional concerns, prompting us to elevate the issue to our glass leadership
      team for further consideration.

      On May 12th, we decided to honor Mr.
      ******’s request for a $1,000 Comprehensive deductible, including the $0 glass
      option, for this experience. Mr. **** from our leadership team called Mr.
      ******, advised him of the decision, and backdated the coverage to policy
      inception, resulting in a premium increase. Mr. ****** agreed and appreciated
      the resolution. We updated our vendor, and at Mr. ******'s request, scheduled a
      repair appointment for May 15th.

      To address Mr. ******’s concern about the Snapshot
      ® fee, we did receive the returned device and removed the additional $30 charge
      from his policy.

      If you need anything else, please let us know.  

      All the best,

      Adriana **** ********
