On 10/15/2023 I was involved in an auto accident and the other driver who was clearly at fault, was insured by this insurance company. I filed the claim through my insurance company, **** Insurance, to handle the claim with this company, Personal Service Insurance Company. My insurance company has been trying to get in touch with this company since then, with a valid police report as well. My insurance company has been unable to reach this insurance company to get the claim reimbursed. I have been out of my $1,000 deductible for over 2 months now due to this insurance companys negligence to respond and take action.Business Response

I was t-boned by one of their lovely customers, the person driving ran and left his car in the street. I have been calling all the phone numbers on their website to get a claim started so I can have my car repaired and not one phone number online works they all say out of service!! How can this insurance company be real?! They have such bad reviews saying they are scammers, I’d like my car fixed as I wasn’t at any fault. This man literally floored it into the side of my vehicle while I was driving along in my own lane!! He begged me not to call the cops then ran! Now I’m out my vehicle because this place insures these types of people then can’t even answer any of their phone calls!!!Business Response

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Good2go Auto Insurance regarding ongoing payment issues and difficulties in reaching their customer service department. I have been a loyal customer with Good2go for several years, but my recent experiences have been extremely frustrating and inconvenient. For the past 5-6 months, since Good2go switched their payment systems, I have encountered consistent problems when attempting to make online payments. Whenever I try to process a payment, the system displays an "invalid" error message, preventing me from completing the transaction. This has caused unnecessary stress and anxiety, as I strive to maintain my account in good standing. Additionally, getting in touch with a customer service representative has proven to be an arduous task. The phone number provided on a Notice of Cancellation, which should be a critical point of contact, is also invalid. On the rare occasions when I have been able to reach out, I have encountered extended wait times and, in one instance, a callback that arrived hours after my requested time slot, making it impossible for me to respond due to work commitments. I have been proactive in trying to make payments ahead of time to avoid these issues, but my efforts have been thwarted due to these ongoing system and customer service problems. As someone who values prompt and reliable service, this situation is far from satisfactory and has become a significant inconvenience. I kindly request that the BBB investigate this matter and urge Good2go Auto Insurance to address these issues promptly. I believe that no customer should have to endure such difficulties when attempting to make payments or seeking assistance with their insurance policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution that ensures a smoother and more reliable experience as a Good2go Auto Insurance customer.Business Response

I had Good2Go insurance beginning on 9/2/2022. My original policy stated that my monthly bill would be $350. It was only that rate for the first 3 months. After that the rate increased every month. (Without notice or explanation) As you can see from the information below the last payment was in the amount of $549, made on August 25, 2023. My payment was never late, it never bounced and I was owed a refund after I canceled the policy on August 30, 2023. I canceled the policy because the rate was too high. After canceling they sent me a notice stating they used the money to pay off old insurance policies. Dating back as far as 2010. I am requesting the FULL amount of my refund which should be $596.15. That was never stated in any policy, nor did the customer service representative make us aware during the cancellation. Please let me know if this can be reversed and the full amount of my refund given back as requested. See payment schedule and amounts deducted from my refund below: Adjustment O - Cash trans $23.38 to **** ($23.38) Adjustment O - Cash trans $48.18 to 4420 ($48.18) Adjustment O - Cash trans $83.82 to **** ($83.82) Adjustment O - Cash trans $67.43 to **** ($67.43) Adjustment O - Cash trans $168.11 to *** ($168.11) Adjustment O - Cash trans $8.91 to ***** ($8.91) Payment EFT 08/25/2023 $549.92 Payment EFT 07/26/2023 $470.00 Payment EFT 06/26/2023 $470.00 Payment EFT 05/26/2023 $470.00 Payment EFT 04/26/2023 $470.00 Payment EFT 03/24/2023 $471.00 Payment EFT 02/24/2023 $485.02 Payment EFT 01/26/2023 $544.57 Payment EFT 12/23/2022 $349.00 Payment EFT 11/24/2022 $350.00 Payment EFT 10/26/2022 $350.00 Payment EFT 09/26/2022 $350.00 Payment Credit Card 09/02/2022 $352.00Business Response

I noticed my remaining balance on my policy went up after just check 3 days prior. That caused me to do a deep dive, and I learned that my entire payment wasn’t going towards my balance. I gathered all my bills from the company and the money orders used, and calculated the total amount of money I paid towards the policy so far. And the balance for the entire year and notice the amount I SHOULD have left is way less the balance the company is saying I owe. After looking over my documents I noticed for example if I paid $95 for a payment only $90 was going towards my remaining balance. It had been like that for months. This company keeps increasing my remaining balance when it should be going down. The customer support agents keep giving me the run around and/or ignoring my emails.Business Response

They owe me $408.00 which they refuse to credit back to my account. We signed up for auto insurance with *************. Recently, we discover we are insured by Good2Go. Here is the problem:1. No attempt was made to inform us of this (a switch and bait.)2. Our due date with ************* was the 14th of each month; Good2go gave us a date of 4th--- this payment came in late and they terminated the policy.3. We discovered the policy switch when Good2go sent notice via mail of the cancellation! The payment posted on the 6th of Dec. We had the letter on the 5th.4.I request a credit for payments made without legal notice or tender and they refused.We are livid. We are sure this practice is illegal; we are owed our money paid back. The lack of transparency and their fraudulent actions need consequence. We lost money and I am sure other customers have done so too.We seek your help in resolving this time sensitive and pressing matter.Thank you for your assistance.Business Response

Dear *** *******:
We are in receipt of your request in regards to the above-listed complaint dated December 23, 2022. *** **** filed a complaint on behalf of ******* *********. *** **** commented in the complaint “They owe me $408.00 which they refuse to credit back to my account. We signed up for auto insurance with ******** ****. Recently, we discover we are insured by Good2Go. Here is the problem: 1. No attempt was made to inform us of this (a switch and bait.) 2. Our due date with ******** **** was the 14th of each month; Good2go gave us a date of 4th--- this payment came in late and they terminated the policy. 3.

We lost money and I am sure other customers have done so too. We seek your help in resolving this time sensitive and pressing matter.”
The quote and application were completed and submitted by the agency, High Point Brokerage Company. High Point Brokerage wrote the policy with Personal Service Insurance Company. At the time the policy was written, all documents sent to *** ********* by email or regular mail showed ******** ******* Insurance Company or Good2Go Auto Insurance. Therefore, the Company disputes that it participated in any “bait-n-switch” activity.
