As of today, February 27, 2025, my adjuster, Brittany ********, who is responsible for assisting me with my claim for an accident that occurred on February 15, 2025, has been difficult to reach. I called her today due to a lack of updates on my claim, as the last time I heard from her was on February 21.
After speaking with other adjusters, I was informed that she has not been documenting any notes regarding my auto claim. My claim has now been open for nine days, yet I have not been provided with any recommended body shops and had to find one on my own.
Additionally, when I called her today, she answered the phone with an unprofessional attitude, saying, “Oh my god, what? Hello.” I pay over $600 for insurance and simply need assistance in resolving this issue. I want my car repaired without feeling like I am inconveniencing anyone or being met with unnecessary attitudes.Business Response

Dear Ms. Neal,
Thank you for sending us the inquiry regarding Ms. ******'s concerns. I have reviewed the
inquiry and our claim file and will provide the following information.
On February 17, 2025, Ms. ****** reported that another vehicle struck her 2020 Nissan
Altima while she was attempting to parallel park.
On February 20, 2025, we spoke with Ms. ******, who described the incident as a hit and
run. Ms. ****** agreed to take photos and a video of the damage to her vehicle, enabling
us to complete an estimate.
Based on the information Ms. ****** provided, we reported a claim to GEICO, as this was
the insurance listed for the other driver's vehicle that Ms. ****** advised was involved in
the incident.
GEICO informed us that their customer claimed they were not involved in the incident, and
they would likely deny liability. We shared this information with Ms. ****** and issued
payment for the damages to her vehicle directly, as per her request.
Attached is a copy of the estimate and the payment for the damages to Ms. ******'s
vehicle.
We will work to recover the amount we paid under Ms. ******'s policy.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 412-501-6515.
Best Regards,
Jon ******

I am writing to register a complaint against Progressive
Commercial Insurance Policy number:********* for an
Inflated Insurance Premium without notice or consent and
age discrimination. I purchased Commercial Insurance for
our small business December 26, 2024, from Progressive
after weeks of trying to get the best affordable down
payment and affordable monthly rates. Everything was
finalized after the downpayment of $3,700.00 was paid with
10 monthly payments of $1,836.85 for a remaining amount
of $18,338.43 starting January 26, 2025 – October 26, 2025.
I paid the first payment in the amount of $1,836.85 January
26,2025 per my contract due date.
We received a notice in the mail on or about February 7,
2025, dated January 30, 2025, with a new insurance policy.
The entire policy amount had doubled to $41,558.00 I called
Progressive and was told due to an accident that occurred
August 15,2024 with ***** ****** in his personal vehicle.
The agent referred to the fact that ******* age had a lot to do
with the increase in the policy. I gave her the information for
two other drivers, she implied that they were old as well and
it would make the premium increase by $5000.00. I gave her
my information and she said the same thing.
I told the agent that we have a small business and there’s no
way we could afford to pay $8000.00 per month for
insurance. Nor would we have agreed and passed up more
Page 3 of 3
affordable insurance in December 2024 when it was time to
renew. We have been misrepresented, misled and
discriminated by Progressive Insurance Company, I sent
them everything they asked for, otherwise they wouldn’t
have taken the down payment and insured our business.
Now we are being held undress to pay for some coverage we
are unable to pay then and now. That’s why we shopped
around for what we could afford.Business Response

Dear
Ms. Neal,
Thank
you for bringing these concerns to our attention. I appreciate the opportunity
to review and respond to this matter.
On
December 26, 2024, this policy began directly through Progressive. At the time
the policy started, we found an accident for one of the drivers on the policy. The
customer told us the driver didn’t cause the accident.
On
December 30, 2024, we mailed a memo to the customer, requesting they send us valid
documentation showing the accident as Not-At-Fault to maintain the same rating.
On
January 29, 2025, we completed our follow-up process about the accident dispute
documentation. We didn’t receive valid documentation, resulting in us changing the
Not-At-Fault rating to At-Fault effective the start date of the policy. We
mailed a Declarations Page and memo to the customer as confirmation of these
changes.
Please
note we will still accept valid documentation to adjust the accident rating
accordingly. The documentation must state the driver as Not-At-Fault or show
the accident as expunged/erased.
While
this may not be the outcome the insured wanted, I hope I explained what
happened in more detail and addressed all questions and concerns.
If
there is anything additional, we can help with, please feel free to contact me
directly at *************

BEWARE!!!!! The worst insurance company!
Car involved in an accident with an F250. My car was parked, and I was not even in state.
Progressive refused to fix the entirety of the damages..
The agent I was working with Kianna has now ignored me for over a month.
Multiple phone calls, voicemails and emails With no reply.
I have nobody else to reach out to.
Not to mention, this is not my insurance because I was not involved in the accident. It is the person who hit my car insurance policy.
I am pregnant and without a car to get to any of my appointments or work.
For three months I had to pay out-of-pocket for Ubers and car rentals
AGAIN I was not even in the car!!
And I still can’t drive it… It Is still UNSAFE To drive according to the body shop and the rim and tire shop.
For progressive to put a pregnant woman in an unsafe car is ridiculous
What am I supposed to do?
They have no sympathy. They do not care.Business Response

On January 30, 2025, I gave my 17 year old son permission to drive to school and was hit by anpther driving stating that the car in front of my son swerved in front of her causing her to over correct and hit my son sending him over the curb and 7 inches from a concrete wall. My son was not on my insurance because he had just moved back into the home on January 3, 2025. After the accident I called the insurance company AND I spoke with the other driver who let me know she was in several accidents prior to this just a few months prior and that my son was NOT at fault. I recorded the conversation AND of her giving me her insurance information and ID. they said they could not use this information because her face is NOT identificable, however she has VERY distinct tattoos on her arms, which can be identified. The sheriff was also very sketchy and did not interact with my child but did, however, interact with the other driver, helping her take things out of her trunk and stating to her, in front my husband AND son, that my son did something wrong, to which she stated that was not correct several times. When I called the insurance they requested proof of my son’s address of where he was for the time he was not in the home. Asked me if he had his own room. Asked me for college applications just to finish the liability and coverage investigation. Now, on February 11, 2025, Progressive did not contact me but added my son on my insurance policy and states “NO FAULT ACCIDENT on 1/30/2025, 0 Points” according to CLUE. Since this was listed as of February 11, 2025, this is showing that liability has already been established! If this has been reported to the national reporting agency through LexisNexis. And it is now February 27, 2025 with NO results, my car is not operational and the claims adjuster Arianna ****** is not answering calls or emails from me or my lawyer. Progressive also added my son without my permission and did NOT ask my permission, and my car is not fixed.Business Response

Hello Ms. Neal,
Thank
you for sharing Mrs. ********’ concerns with us. I appreciate the opportunity
to address this matter further.
Mrs.
******** filed a flood claim for her 2012 GMC Terrain on December 23, 2024. Her
vehicle was parked and unoccupied during a flood event on December 9, 2024. The
vehicle was towed to ****** on December 30, 2024; however, ****** was unable to
work on it. We agreed to move the vehicle to a shop of her choice.
On
January 9, 2025, Progressive re-inspected the vehicle at her shop of choice,
****. They advised that the vehicle only needed an oil change and a battery
replacement. They completed an estimate that included a pre-scan. The total
estimate amounted to $1,270.88, which is below Mrs. ********' $2,000
deductible. The vehicle was not deemed a total loss.
I
spoke with Mrs. ******** on February 20, 2025, and she expressed concerns about
possible water in her engine. On February 27, 2025, we agreed to have her
vehicle towed to ***** **** for an engine diagnosis.
On
March 5, 2025, ***** **** confirmed that there was no water in the engine and
that the vehicle was running properly. I also confirmed with ***** **** that
Mrs. ******** is scheduled to pick up her vehicle on March 11, 2025. The total
estimate for Mrs. ********' claim is $1,419.05, which remains below her $2,000
deductible.

Hello Melissa,
Thank you for sharing Mr. *******’s concerns. I’ve
reviewed the policy and am happy to provide the following information.
When Mr. ******* bought this policy on April 23,
2024, he chose to have his payments automatically deducted from his bank
account via electronic funds transfer (EFT). The authorization form he signed
acknowledges we will deduct payments on the policy, including any renewals of
the policy, and it explains the authorization remains in effect until Mr.
******* notifies us that he wishes to end it, either in writing, by accessing
his policy online, or by calling us.
On September 26, 2024, we sent Mr. ******* a
renewal offer for his next policy due to become effective October 23, 2024.
With this notice, we let Mr. ******* know that we’d automatically withdraw his
payment of $599 on October 23, 2024, to renew his policy, and if he did not
want to renew automatically, to please contact us by phone. Because Mr. *******
did not call us, we withdrew the scheduled payment of $599 and renewed the
policy.
Unfortunately, Mr. *******’s bank notified us that
they did not honor the $599 payment. We reversed the payment from the policy
and sent Mr. ******* a cancel notice both by email and U.S. Mail, letting him
know we must receive his payment by November 17, 2024, to avoid cancellation. We
did not hear from Mr. ******* or receive a payment, so the policy canceled
leaving a balance due of $160.71.
We charged him $129.34 for coverage from October
23, 2024, to November 17, 2024, plus $11.37 for the prorated MCCA Deficiency
Recoupment, MCCA Full Recoupment, and Statutory Assessment Recoupment fees, and
a $20 returned payment fee, for a total of $160.71. We sent him two bills for
the balance, and because we did not receive it, we referred the balance due to
collections.
On March 6, 2025, we received Mr. *******’s
payment, satisfying the balance owed.
Because the balance we reported was a valid amount
that Mr. ******* owed at that time, we can’t remove it from his credit record. However,
we have notified the collection agency to update the report to show he
satisfied the balance.
If you need anything else, please let us know.
All the best,
Rose

Hi Ms. Neal,
Thank you for sharing Ms. ******’s concerns with
us. I appreciate the opportunity to assist.
On January 6, 2025, Ms. ****** purchased auto
insurance with us. She confirmed she had auto insurance coverage prior to this
policy, so we included a Continuous Insurance Discount. To maintain the
discount, we asked her to provide proof of her prior coverage from July 6,
2024, to January 6, 2025. We asked her to provide that to us by January 28,
2025, to avoid an increase.
On January 28, 2025, we sent an Underwriting Memo
asking her to provide the proof of prior insurance to us by February 11, 2025,
otherwise we will remove the discount. We provided her with a list of documents
that we can accept as proof.
On February 15, 2025, we removed the prior
insurance information, which removed the related discounts of Five Year
Accident Free and Continuous Insurance: Silver, effective January 6, 2025. The
rate increased by $201 and we sent a Declarations Page that outlined the
changes.
We also sent an Underwriting Memo that explained we
removed the prior insurance information and increased her premium. We provided
her with a list of documents that she could still send to us to review.
On February 26, 2025, she sent us a bill from a
debt collector, FirstPoint, dated for November 25, 2024. This is the same
documentation she provided to the Better Business Bureau in her inquiry. We
cannot accept this document as proof of prior insurance.
The proof of prior insurance must be a Declarations
Page or ID Card from a prior carrier showing coverage from July 6, 2024, to
January 6, 2025. The proof must show her Bodily Injury Liability limits and
list her as a covered driver. She can send this proof to

Hello
Ms. Neal,
We received your correspondence
sharing ******* *****’s concerns with us. I appreciate the opportunity to

I reviewed this February 1, 2025,
claim involving a 2007 Ford Econo Club Wagon driven by our customer, ******* ********, and a 2007 Toyota Corolla driven by ******* *****, ******* *****’s

We completed an initial estimate for
Ms. *****’s Corolla based on photos received and she chose to repair her
vehicle at Black Mountain Collision. Throughout
our review of this claim, we determined that the total Property Damage amount, including
any supplements and rental expenses she might incur, would exceed our
customer’s available Property Damage coverage limit amount, which we
communicated with Ms. *****.
On February 24, 2025, we sent Ms.

My daughter was pulling out of a McDonald's parking lot and was struck by ****** ******** on the right rear door of her vehicle causing damage to the right rear quarter panel, significant damage to the door, and damage to the window regulator.
Upon my first call with Progressive, Jasmine, the claims adjuster for Progressive, very clearly stated that they would be accepting liability on this claim after we had provided details of how the accident occurred. I guarantee that call is recorded in their system. I request access to that call from them as proof that they made that commitment on the first call. I believe that call occurred on 02/04/25 at 12:56 PM.
She later called and said that they changed their mind due to conversations they had with ****** ********. They requested that I personally get a copy of the police report, which I did. She also asked for videos and a drawing of what happened. She used those videos to claim that we are 70% at fault which is ridiculous considering my daughter reported at the time of the police report that she had turned around and saw ****** impact her vehicle.
Jasmine, the claims adjuster for Progressive, the insured came to an unreasonable conclusion on who is at fault in this accident. It feels they are doing so to protect their insured. They determined 70% fault for my daughter. Jasmine refuses to provide any detail behind how she arrived at that conclusion which is unreasonable and unfair.Business Response

Dear Ms. Neal,
Thank you for bringing ****** *******'s complaint to our attention regarding
the incident involving his daughter, *******, and our customer, Cassie
********. I appreciate the chance to clarify this situation.
We spoke with Mr. ******* and reviewed the accident details. He explained Miss
******* was stationary waiting to turn and noticed Ms. ******** coming towards
her. Ms. ******** hit Miss *******’s door.
Ms.
******** reported that she was leaving the McDonald's drive-thru and heading to
the exit when Miss ******* suddenly turned left in front of her, causing a
collision.
We
determined that Miss ******* was 70% at fault for not yielding the right of
way, while Ms. ******** was 30% at fault. We reached this decision after
thoroughly reviewing all evidence, including the police report, which confirmed
Miss ******* turned left in front of Ms. ********.
I understand Mr. ******* might not agree with this outcome. However, our
decision is based on a careful investigation and our responsibility to protect
our insured. We have shared our findings with Mr. ******* and explained the
reasoning behind our conclusion.
If Mr. ******* has more questions or needs further assistance, please feel free
to contact us at ******************************
Sincerely,
Melissa *******

Inquired about filing a claim. I had water enter my vehicle and did damage to the inside. I have mold and mildew all over and with children it worried me. I neer filed an insurance claim in my life. I reached out to Progressive with the exact info that happened and instead of telling me they dont cover water damages, they tell me that I need to have it scheduled for an inspection estimate to determine the costs of damages. I coordinated with the rep the day and time of inspection. She was on board and everything seemed great. Well the garage was half way done inspecting my car and the progressive rep stopped by and immediately called me to tell me that it was denied. the garage tore out my interior so they could inspect properly. the claim was water damage so they were completely aware of what needed done to get an estimate. now the garage has half of my car ripped apart and needs another day to put it back together. they want paid for the estimate time and Progressive said its on me? I didnt have work done, this was clearly to estimate damages caused by water. Progressive told me to set it up take it to a garage. If i was going to be charged $600-$700 i would have just taken it to a professional detail shop and paid $300 to have it looking better and mold taken care of. this is crazy how am I responsible for costs to have an estimate?? they are being very rude and ignorant. my car is upside down an this has put a huge hold on my life. I have 5 children. i just want treated fairly.Business Response

Hi
Ms. Neal,
Thank
you for bringing these concerns to our attention. I'm happy to explain what
happened. I hope this helps resolve any questions or concerns. I’ve included
bullet point of what occurred.
On January 31, 2025, the claim was reported to us by Mr. ********.
The claim was reported with the facts of loss listed as water entering the vehicle from unknown source.
On February 6, 2025, Mr. ******** sent in photos and videos of the damage showing mold on the seat belts
On February 7, 2025, we spoke with Mr. ******** over the phone and discussed the claim and the facts of loss being water damage from unknown source.
On February 7, 2025, we texted with Mr. ********, and we advised him that the vehicle needed to go to a shop to locate the water leak. Also, to determine if there would be coverage for the loss
On February 17, 2025, Mr. ******** advised us of his shop of choice. He directly chose the shop.
On February 18, 2025, Mr. ******** dropped the vehicle off at his shop of choice.
On February 19, 2025, we completed the inspection at the shop. The same day, we communicated the estimate results to Mr. ********.
At the time of the
inspection, it was determined that the water coming into the vehicle through
the seam sealer on the rear lift gate that was breaking apart due to wear and
tear. There was rust discovered on the
lower portion of the seats in the vehicle from the water, indicating that this
was not a sudden or direct damage.
At no time did we
direct Mr. ********’s shop of choice to disassemble the vehicle, start or
complete repairs, or agree to any payments on the vehicle to date. Mr. ********
also referenced the cost of the repairs being $600 – $700 total, based off the
Progressive policy in regards to payment for estimates and repairs. If there
was valid coverage, it would’ve been made after the $1,000 Comprehensive coverage
deductible that Mr. ******** choose for the vehicle.
I hope I’ve cleared
up what occurred. If you have any questions, please free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Nicholas ********
