  On 7/42023 we signed with metro public adjusted to manage a water claim in the master bath. We were assigned an adjuster and had a video walk through of the damage. The main bath was also walked through because there was damage in there due to them baths sharing a wall. When the ********* insurance adjuster came the metro adjuster never even addressed the main bath. Even though we have documentation that the water had damaged that room too. When I called and asked why it was not address no one had an answer. Here it is September 5 and no closer to an answer. I feel we have been miss represented and give pour service. Do not hire them. Poor customer service and do not do what is represented. Find someone else. I should have done my research better.

  I signed a contract with Metro PA, in October last year. Communication was good until March of this year which was my last communication with my adjuster. We had a phone conversation when I asked him to ask my insurance company for more money to repair my house as what I had in my account wasn't enough, he said "I can't ask for more money, there has to be an inspection first. I was confused as no work was done period. After that conversation I was dissapointed and decided to ask on my own. Since March I was in constant contact with my insurance adjuster. My contractor needed more money as he took from his own money to put siding on my house as it was damage from the smoke/fire. Once we were approved I was informed that the funds had to be sent to Metro PA, I asked why? due to the fact that as being their client I haven't heard from anyone there since March. It is now August 31st, I called 8/4 was transferred to their legal dept. left a message and not from them. I emailed them no response, I sent return receipt no response. I know they have my letter as I received the green card back. They breached the contract and I wan them to send me a letter withdrawing my contract with them. I was informed they are a company that never follows through with their contract and I have become a victim of just that. The request of funds I requested belongs to my contractor and not me. Since my contractor put in the request, he should receive his funds and not Metro PA. I have had housing issues and Metro PA was no where to be found. If you're not going to be there for your clients then you need not send your representatives out to sell your business. This has been a horrible experience for me. I lost my home to fire and now my contractor is losing half of his funds to a company that wants to benefits from nothing other than me signing a paper. Sinful Metro PA, and you will give an account to God for how you treat your clients. It's all about Money for you, SHAME

  I am rejecting this response because: As of today it has been a total of 6 months, there has been no communication to me from Metro PA your client, as I reached out to you several times. You received a return receipt letter, signed by someone there and yet no response. SHAME ON YOU. The least you can do is send me a letter closing out my contract with you. Metro PA breached your contract, not once did you contact me to see if I needed anything. I was your client. I paid my dues to you, now I can't get work completed in my attic because you won't release me. For the love of God, that's the least you can do. Neighbors are asking for recommendations and I refuse too give them a name until I hear from you. Please send me a letter of release is all I'm asking. I want to go back into my home.

  Dear sirs,

  I have not received a letter, phone call, email nor text message from Metro PA.  Kindly ask them to show proof that they reached out to me. I am willing to submit my email addresses to you along with my phone records. This really shows how foul Metro PA  is.  They are lying, they breached their contract.  It has now been 6 months since I've heard from them. Again. I mailed them a return receipt letter requesting a consult from them. I got the post card back and signed by someone there.  Nothing from them up to now.  They are using a stall tactic because, as their client, they did me dirty.  Please share with them that my house is now complete, and I'm moving in.  I will not seek the additional funds to repair my attic, no thanks to them.  They choose to speak to me through you, which is tacky business.  Please let them know that social media will know about them and how they treat their clients.  I am not accepting the lie they keep telling you.  I am going to see what are my options just to free me from their claws.

  Thanks BBB

  Please show proof by documentation that you tried to reach out to me. I would love to see any dated letters you may have sent me as well as any phone contact.  In agreement I signed my contract with you and kept my end of the bargain.  You beached the conract when you haven't reached out to me in 6 months.  When I had a need from **. ** he told me he could not go to my insurance company and ask for more money. After that I fought the battles myself, I reached out to insurance agent myself and she had been a jewel.  I also have proof from her when I asked when was the last time she heard from **. ** She said it has been weeks.

That letter was dated and electronically sent April 27th, 2023. We have included this letter as an attachment and as of today, no response to this letter has been received.

  This is the first I'm seeing of a letter from their attorney. Why haven't I received a copy of this letter that was dated in April.  As of now the attorney has not addressed the fact that even though a contract by me was signed. The adjuster never responded to my request.  It is one thing to state the total amount of the funds I would receive from my insurance company. There's another issue of me not being made aware. My adjuster stating to me he could not ask for funds to repair my home. Metro breached their contract. Regarding the $45,000.00 they are requesting, shouldn't all of this have been sent to me along with them responding to ****************. I have been totally disregarded throughout this whole process aren't I the client here?

  Thanks,

  I would also like to add to my response I made about an hour ago.  The $45,000.00 that Metro is claiming, I need it to show that they have not included my cost of living and my living arrangements as well.  Also I would like for them to explain to me the reasons for my request to Metro not acknowledged. As a client of theirs this is a breach of their contract. However back in May ***** the first PA  encouraged me to talk to **************************** Director of Adjusting @ Metro PA.  I declined since Mr. * was supposed to be my contact person who told me he could not honor my request back in March. Metro will give an account to their shady business towards their clients. God will hold them in account along with all those who supports their wrongness.

  Good day,

  I have acquired legal counsel that will if he haven't already will reach out to Metro PA regarding this matter.  They should be on the look out for it.  Again it's not so much about the 20% it's about Metro PA siging on their clients and once they receive their check they breach on their responsibility. 

  So be it known to their attorney's, you are representing a company who shun on their responsibility. I will make sure that social media is aware of the bad representation of Metro PA.   And as I always add, you will give an account to God for your dirty behavior. I'm not the first nor will I be the last, but I will say God sees, he knows he cares.  As a child of God I have given you all to him. 

  If you're not going to treat customers right stop sending your people out to represent your company.  If you sign contracts with clients then you should be true to your contract.

  I have been the person negotiating with the insurance adjuster since February because your representative would not ask for funds for me to have my contractor start to restore my house.  

  This is what he said to me, I can't ask for more money as it is a process. Not only was I shocked but hurt at the fact that I signed a contract with a company who will not help me.  After that conversation (I have proof of the conversation).

  After that I started making my own contact with the insurance agent.  Metro PA has trained their employees backwards. They are trained to get clients to sign contracts then Breach the contract yet they want a check every time. 

  Shame on you Metro PA, I did the work and you collect the checks. SHAME.

  Thanks for your time BBB, thanks for being their for people like me who have been bamboozled and hoodwinked by a business who call themselves professionals. 

  Am I mad? Yes I am

  Dear BBB, 

  I did respond to the last correspondence, I also emailed ******************(d) to make sure the response was received. 

  I do not and will not agree with the lies from Metro PA. My attorney sent them a correspondence on the contract I signed with them stating the 20% was illegal.   As of today I have not heard from Metro and I'm sure as always they will lie and not close out my case as they did nothing to support me as their client.  Again the last correspondence between me and them was in March when my adjuster told me he couldn't ask for money from my insurance company.  At that point he closed my case and I never heard anymore from them. I owe them nothing and will not agree to pay them anything. 

  Thanks

  I contacted Metro regarding a release several weeks ago. My public adjuster is refusing to invoice me and signing a release as I no longer want services from this company. I have had this claim open for almost two years. My P.A. is rude and unprofessional and I called to speak with his manager several times. The reply from him was - TIP:By you constantly throwing me under the bus with our back office does not help your cause.

  Thank you for assisting.. I have pulled the file and see that a final payment is being made and the claim is being closed after that is received..

  We are located in PA and had a lighting strike/house fire in June 2022. **** is our insurance company. To their credit, they had adjusters out within 3 days of the incident. But, after their inspection they failed to communicate with us for over a 3 week period. We were recommended Metro by our contractor. Through our contractor *** ****** from Metro reached out and we stupidly agreed to 35 percent of any money issued by **** to us to go to them for their work. Emphasis on work. While the state of PA doesn’t have a law regarding the amount a public adjuster can charge, they do have guidelines an adjuster must follow which Metro failed us: 1. Metro never issued us their estimates for personal property and property damage completed in August 2022 to which PA requires them to. 2. In PA, a public adjuster must never deny or prohibited communication between the insured and insurance company. Metro did. Through this process of complaint **** has sent over their communication logs between them and Metros adjuster *** ****** which proves my complaint. 3. A public adjuster is never supposed to ignore communication between them and the insured to which *** ****** did repeatedly. Especially regarding our fair rental/loss of use payments. He blatantly ignored my communication with him and failed to follow up with **** regarding these payments. When I spoke with Joe on the phone in Jan 2023 he stated he specifically instructed the front office of Metro NOT to take a percentage of these payments. Well they did. 4. A very large personal property check was issued by **** to metro in Jan 2023. By law, a public adjuster must notify the insured of any payments made by the insurance company. Metro never did and even went as far to forge my wife’s and my name to a third party check to which they never had power of attorney to do so. How can they get away with this?! Bottom line, they took money from us for work we, not them, regarding our claim. And that’s ok with them. Garbage

  I am rejecting this response because: my claims are not incorrect. I have saved every email, text, voicemail, and documented the one phone conversation I had with *******************. You mention where the adjuster was unresponsive for a month: yours or our insurance. According to their records ******************* was unresponsive with them for a period of two months as well as our insurance asking to go direct with us regarding our personal property and *** replied “no”  delaying things further. *** never sent us a copy of his estimates, ignored my requests for fair rental/ loss of use payments, never provided me with a phone number to contact him, and never called our insurance to discuss his estimate. I have proof, do you? Don't you dare write I am inaccurate and imply I am not writing the truth! Either you are being lied to by ****** or you aren't fully investigating the matter. Our attorney has reached out to ************** for a call but he was ignored as well. You want to resolve it, contact him and discuss the matter with him. He also has all the emails from *** and Metro as well as our insurance companies communication logs from both adjusters.

  First POC was on September 4 2022 that consist of a phone call, with two reprentatives ******************* and *******************************. Zoom call on the sixth of September it was explained how this work. My problems is do not offer something you willing dont stand behind. Explained that I had a water leak from the washing machine hose. Which soakwd the laundry room, kitchen and living room. Stated that all the carpert and vinyl need to be replaced. Then the the lies started. They have to replace this, they have to replace that. Which my carpet and the cabinets. Adjuster came out on October 13 and again October 27 with the ******** Adjuster. He did an inspection and stated what needed to be replaced, such as carpert, vinyl and cabinets. But also stated they will fight for me. Let Insurance company settle without contractors fees and not top cabinets. So, this thing about being hold. Is not the truth and very false sense of representation. Just not worth the money they chaege and would like a refund.

  Thank you for assisting with this matter.. WE understand the insured wishes to get additional money for the claims settlement and have offer multiple solutions including assigning a full time inside adjuster to work through any remaining issues.  Per the insured's direction, we were told to close the file and allow the insured to handle themselves..  Our offer to resolve the outstanding items remains but to say that any of the work done to date does not warrant payment is inaccurate.. Please advise if you would like up to resume the handling of the file.. Thank you..

  I am rejecting this response because:   This is not true!!   Thje fact that it states I onl;y complained after I received the check.  I want to ask question and no one was trying to reach out.   I reached out to the company on October 18, 2022 November 4, 2022 and Nonember 14 2022.  Received the itemized late on November 14, with no calls to explain and no information.  I in turns called thr company asking for clarity.   I also calle rthe adjuster ***** ***** two times and I called ReprenstTIVE ******************* asking for an email or phone for the adjkuster pecause I had questions.   Questions about the contractors fee that was not included in the statement.  No answer fro Brain.  ***** would always respond with why am I getting these emails or my phine was going to voice mail. 

  Again they have not fought for me and my property.  If they did they would not have accpeted the amount from the insurdance company Allstate.   Yes, have reached out to management **************************  *** reached out after I filed this anted me to transfer to a new adjuster so thet can fight for my top cabinets.  I told her no thank you and she sent a letter stating that nothing is due to me.   This company is  not for the little consumer.  They made pomises like, all my carpert will be replaced  if it all run together.  NOT TRUE!  So this in inaccurate.

  Thank you for assisting, Unfortunately the insurance company would not agree to replace the upper cabinets in the kitchen due to restrictive matching language in her policy..  This is also a considerable delta in the personal property, in order to fight this, it was our recommendation to engage an appraiser which is independent of both us and the insurance co adjuster to resolve the issue.. The insured is not willing to incur this cost .. Again we still feel this is the best way to resolve the open items..    We were asked to end our contract with the insured and processed accordingly..

  I am rejecting this response because:  The should have asked before they accepted this settlement.  Again they did nothing for me, but take monies that should be applied to my account.  

  Why should I allow them to take money for second time and Im in the whole already.  I would like at least fifty percent of the money that they took.  They didnt have to settle at that time, thats  when I tried to call and ask questions. Thats their game, taking money twice from people estimate.  If they are willing to do the negotiate for my cabinets and contractors fee I'm all for it.  But to take extra money absoulety not.  

  That's another thing contractors fee was not included.  It's going to cost me $5000.00 to get my floors, because the water migation messed up my bathroom flooring.  Which Metcore never mention.  Again, if they can negotiate and not charge me another 32% fine if not give me a full refund.

  They never explained anything to me.  I NEED MY HOUSE FIXED!!

We are confident more money should be paid and we would like to work with you and try to get additional funds but we are not willing to work for free.    If you are interested in continuing with us, i can offer a reduced rate on additional funds obtained but we can not offer this for free... Please let me know if that would work for you.

  I entered into a contract with Metro Public Adjusters on or about July 27. The adjuster agreed to represent me to ensure Id receive a higher settlement amount from insurance company. However *************, the adjuster, NEVER talked to me about the claim amount, NEVER sent an itemized list of estimates and NEVER communicated effectively about the process. Instead I did nearly all of the advocacy by myself. The repair company, ***, that was recommended by Metro left my basement a wreck. They left trash everywhere. Thanks to Metro I have been displaced from my bedroom for nearly 6 months when in fact the process should have been resolved within 120 days at max. The adjusters do not respond in a timely fashion; they did not advocate for me and they STILL have not given me an itemized list of the estimates for my consent. This company is a SCAM and the biggest ripoff. I want my 30% representation back that I paid for they did not represent me. I was my own advocate. They did nothing. I also have email communication between me and key players to prove my own self advocacy a job for which ************* was paid to do but did not. I enclosed photos of the condition of my home and the remediation work by ***. The work began in July. Their trash is still in my home (they promised to come back and remove it—never did).

  Hello and Thank you for assisting in this matter.   We certainly understand the insureds frustration here..  By Prior communication we have closed our file at the insureds request but to facilitate a solution we are attaching the itemized estimate from the independent adjuster on this loss..   The concerns the insured seems to have relate to a vendor and not out company but we have reached out to them to contact the insured and see if a resolution can be made.. Also, this claim involves two insurance carriers, We had represented the insured on one of those companies.. As we have no legal authority to assist with the other policy , we have attached the letter for this claim to assist the insured in navigation .. I hope this explains the current status and we are sorry the insured has had this ..

Moreover, this document sent from Metro confirms my adjuster's negligence as he did not include my receipts in the claim.   I am also asking for a refund because the initial Letter of Engagement signed does not include all three signatures hence the contract was not fully executed.   Lastly I have strong proof to substantiate that I have done nearly all of the advocacy and communication to resolve this case.  Their two attachments of proof of advocacy substantiate my claim even more. 

  Regards,

  Thank you for assist ing with this matter.. We certainly understand the issue here, unfortunately it is with a policy that we can not assist with.. There is a master policy for the condominium that governs anything remaining on this loss.  I have reviewed this thoroughly and don't see any incomplete work here.  As an offer to resolve this, we are offering a payment of 200.00 to resolve this matter..  Please let us know if this resolves the matter and we will have the payment issued...  Thank you ...

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  I have given considerable thought to your response.  I reject it namely for Metro not fulfilling their obligation as outlined in the contract signed July 27, 2022 to "advise and assist in the adjustment of an insurance claim" and "negotiating the claim with your insurance company."

  The only communication **** **** had with my insurance company was the less than seven minutes he spent in my home with *************'s independent adjuster.  He sent an itemized list of the damages 8/05/2023 to *************.  That was his only communication with the insurance company.  Despite my emailed bills/receipts throughout the summer, ************ did not spend three minutes to amend the itemized list and/or communicate with my insurance company.

  According the overwhelming evidence I have to conclude the **** **** and Metro PA unfairly enriched yourselves at the expense of your client, a teacher, mother and student.  I am who your company is supposed to have advocated for. ************ worked less than a total of a generous eight hours on this case and received $1800 for work that was not executed per our signed contract.  

  Lastly, if Metro did the work as outlined then subsequently agreed to in our contract, I would not object to 30% of my settlement; however, given the number seven minutes ************ spent at my home and his one and *only* correspondence devoid of any advocacy, I suggest a different amount commiserate to the work each of us did to settle this case.  In other words based upon the communication I had with ****, ******** ****, I can substantiate that I did nearly all of the work for which your company unjustly benefits.

  Therefore because of my overwhelming evidence of Metro's unfair enrichment, to settle the case I will accept 50% of your 30% fee plus dissolving your most recent bill for CPR.  This new settlement works out to MetroPA having earned $900 for less one hour's work.

  Thank you for your response and assistance in this matter.. unfortunately the Invoice From *** *********** is not our company and they have a signed work authorization from the insured .  This is separate form the Contact we have with the insured. We have offered what we feel is a fair resolution to this matter and would like to extend it one more time.. If the offer is not acceptable to the insured we will unfortunately not be able to agree.  Again, We are willing to try to work together with the insurance company to resolve any open issues.  We do feel there is a way to resolve the outstanding items and are willing to commit to working on them with the insured.  We do not agree to the proposed offer.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  Given the facts of this case, the new legislation proposed by the government to prevent unfair enrichment and the evidence to substantiate the amount of work I did versus Metro, I am willing to bring this matter to Small Claims Court. 

  Your proposed $200 does not begin to cover my clothing that was ruined and the additional expenses I incurred as a result of the flood that Metro did not include in the itemized list of damages to my insurance company.  

  Initially I wanted 100% of the 30% and compromised to 50% of 30%.  Your offer of less than 15% of 30% does not begin to cover my losses.  Consequently, I will file a complaint with the court system, present my evidence before a judge and let him/her determine the settlement amount.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution only authenticates the extreme lackluster representation I received from Metro Public Adjusters.

  First, I would like to thank you for your assistance in this matter. This loss occurred early November 2021 at the insureds property. We were contracted to re-open the claim and assist in late May of 2022. Our adjuster is scheduled to re-inspect the property with the insurance company adjuster today 9/15, which was confirmed previously with the insured. The  number our corporate office was given to contact the insured, per his contract, was XXX-XXX-****, however, we recently discovered that this number is incorrect. Despite this miscommunication, our claim representative has been in constant communication with the insured and we have documented phone calls between our office staff and the insured. The insurance company, ******* ******, is the issue here and has continuously delayed this claim. We have submitted our estimate to the insurance company three times with no response. The insurance company additionally halted our negotiations by re-assigning their field adjuster on the file, also creating a delay in the re-inspection with our adjuster. We strive to be transparent and inclusive with all of our clients,please contact me directly at ***********@metropa.com if you feel this is not the case or need additional assistance. Tell us why here...
