      Progressive/Goosehead Ins *********************************************************** 3/25/25, I contacted the listed insurance agent affiliated w/Goosehead Ins. in regards to my auto policy through Progressive Ins. I spoke with a *** named ****. I expressed concern that my auto insurance premium had increased by nearly $500.I had been paying $286/month for full coverage on 2 vehicles. However, the invoice for ***** reflected an increase of $745.56 4/15/25 5/15/25 $492.11 6/15/25 $492.11 3/15/25 $492.06 **** stated the system had detected a licensed driver residing in my home namely, ***** *******. As a result, correspondence had been issued regarding the addition of ***** to my policy. I explained to **** that ***** had not been listed on my policy, & if I had intended to include her, I would have done so.**** requested that I submit documentation proving ***** doesn't reside at my ********** an effort to resolve the matter, I requested to speak w/a supervisor. **** advised that his manager would contact me within a few hours. However, I did not receive any follow-up communication.On 3/26/25, I called Goosehead again & spoke w/**********. I reiterated my concerns & renewed my request to speak w/a supervisor. ********** reached out to his manager, ****, who reviewed my policy & stated that the situation did not warrant escalation to a supervisor & referred me to Progressive.I contacted Progressive & spoke w/Trakia. She provided guidance on where to send the requested documentation re ****** residency status. I then asked for the removal of a vehicle from my policy. Kimi assisted & advised that removing my **** from the policy would result in an increased rate of $116.17 from 3/26/25 -8/15/25.An insurance company should not have the authority to add individuals to a policy without the policyholders explicit consent. The mere presence of licensed drivers in a household should not justify automatic inclusion. Policyholders should not be financially penalized for removing a vehicle

      There was a Hailstorm on 3/15. I have tried for 3 days to get someone on the phone to discuss the damage to my vehicle and RV. It has been 5 days now, I have not been contacted by anyone, my RV has multiple holes in the ceiling, and I am staying in it. I have been on hold for a total of > 2hrs with no answers. My Agent will not call me or help in anyway. This is a terrible experience. DO NOT USE GOOSEHEAD as your INSURANCE!! They do not care about anything but your payment.

      Goosehead sold me a policy that I faithfully paid until Progressive put an unauthorized person on my policy that raised my rates thousands of dollars. Goosehead reached out via email asking about this person and I responded that she had her own insurance and her own vehicle so she should not be listed on my policy. I never heard anything from Progressive or Goosehead after that until I got an increase in my rates. When I called Progressive they would not change anything because they said I had to speak to the ************************ I called for days and no one ever answered the phone, citing, high call volumes. I called Goosehead again, saying exactly what I just said in this. The agent I spoke to at Goosehead said she would call Progressive and asked for me to send documentation that ****** had her own coverage, which NO ONE ever asked before, and she called them. According to the agent, they received the information and said they still had to speak to me. I called again and again, no one ever answered my calls at the underwriting department and the person was still on my policy so I requested for my policy to end. I was not paying 600 dollars a month for car insurance. A week so later they took her off the policy after I had already canceled the policy and then told me I owed them 110 dollars to reimburse of running my driving record. Something that wasn't told to me BEFORE canceling. Which doesn't make sense because I had been a client of Progressive for years at that point so if they decided to run my record again, that is on them. Progressive is threatening to send the bill to collections, which I don't care about because I'm not in desperate need of credit as I own my own house and car but it's the principle of the issue.I paid this company to deal with insurance companies, and guess what? Nothing was done, none of you respond, and it's pure incompetence. I had to send email after email, request after request for weeks and weeks for this to get handled.

      I recently purchased the above mentioned home and at closing the payment for my Insurance was paid at closing of the home I have confirmed with the title company (Magnus ****** and have proof that this payment cleared 12/24/24. the insurance canceled my policy on 12/27/24 after they had received my payment and cashed it. This is causing a lapse in coverage which is costing me additional money to be paid to my mortgage company due to not having coverage for a period of time after purchasing the home. I have made calls to Goosehead insurance that says that this is not disputable and it is because they were never notified by the mortgage company (***************) that my closing date changed and reinstatement was not available all they could do is give me a new policy (of which i did obtain) but this doesn't reinstate the policy they canceled. I am at a loss what to do here. How can they cash my check for payment and then still cancel policy (just apply the payment they already had from me) to the new policy they gave me that didn't begin until 01/22/25. *************** has advised me there is nothing they can do and i have to resolve with Goosehead Insurance of whom is not willing to correct this matter. I do not feel like this is my failure to follow what should have been done and they did receive payment prior to date they canceled the policy

      I am rejecting this response because:   This business did call me on the phone and was very aggressive and unwilling to work out the issue speaking to me as if I am a child.  I have proof that the payment for my insurance policy Cleared on 12/24/24  they are saying that they could not apply the payment for several days after they cashed the check they received which resulted in lapse of coverage. They are not denying that they received and cashed this check they are merely saying they could not post to the policy until they had already canceled the policy 12/27/25. I did what i was supposed to do on my end by paying at closing the insurance their internal processes are not something I can control. They keep saying that my mortgage company did not notify them of my closing date changing which caused them to expect payment much sooner than they received it and i understand that in it's self is an issue separate to this issue. They required payment before a specific date of which they did receive and canceled the policy anyway, this is the issue at hand and why i am submitting complaint. This is causing me to pay my mortgage company for having no coverage during a period of which i should have been covered.

      I got insurance through Goosehead insurance with Branch insurance on February 16, 2023. My policy was set to renew on February 17, 2024. However, because my premiums with Branch increased way too much I contacted Goosehead and shopped around for another insurance. I ended up getting insured with ******** and my coverage would start on February 17, 2024. The Goosehead agent told me that they would take care of cancelling the renewal with Branch. However, when my escrow analysis came with *********, my mortgage payment had sky rocketted and increased by $445.98 on May 01, 2024. When I bought my house I had actually paid for a 2-1 buy down so I could save on my mortgage payment for the first 2 years of the loan. I called Amerihome to ask why the increase was so drastic since my insurance premium had only increased by $887.23 when I switched from Branch to SageSure. All they told me was that this is how escrow analysis worked and that they needed to plan for future increases. I was left just as confused, I was never told that they were paying for TWO insurances despite making it very clear that I was under the impression that they should've only been paying one policy. I actually called twice to try to get to the bottom of this with two different agents and all I was told was "try to get cheaper insurance." This caused tremendous financial hardship on me and completely negated the 2-1 buy down that I had paid for when I purchased the loan. It wasn't until my loan was sold to another lender in January 2025 that I realized I had still been paying for Branch because Goosehead never cancelled my policy. Branch sent me a notice saying that my policy had been cancelled because they didn't receive payment from my original lender. When I called Goosehead and explained the situation the agent told me that this was on them and they should've made sure they cancelled the policy and that they'd get me my money back, but now they're saying they can only backpay 60 days.

      I am rejecting this response because:   

      Goosehead is not giving me any resolution to my case, nor a refund. I've spend countless hours on the phone with them and texting and emailing them this week trying to get through to a supervisor. I've lost a lot of time at work and even had to miss deadlines and important meetings in all my attempts to get this resolved. I included an additional screenshot that I didn't include in my original submission where I specifically tell the Goosehead agent that my Branch premiums are way too high and I need to shop around for new insurance, clearly meaning that I do not want to renew with Branch. I've also included some call logs and email and texts interactions where I get no resolution even after countless reach outs. I included as many new screenshots as a could fit here as the proof.

      Goosehead does the insurance for Travelers. Our homeowners was canceled as of September of 2024 with them due to wildfire risk. When that happened I called Goosehead to cancel everything we had with Travelers. I didn't realize it at the time but they left the umbrella policy active. They did cancel the autos so not sure why they missed umbrella. Last month in January I noticed they were still charging our card. I called them and found out it was the umbrella. I told them that should have been cancelled with all the others and was told it would be canceled as of September to match the others and I would receive a refund. This month they charged us again. I called and was told it was never cancelled from when I called last month. I was told the *** from the last call sent a screenshot of our homeowner's policy in and that's it. I don't know why that was done since the homeowner's was already cancelled. This new ***, although it sounded like the same guy, told me he would now cancel but they could only go back 30 days. So not only will they not refund from the initial mistake but now we've been charged another month because of the second mistake of not cancelling when I called last month. I called my bank about the charges and they told me there is even a second charge for this month about to post, so a double charge now for this month. The *** is telling me they have no notes of me trying to cancel the policy when I called last month, just the homeowner's screenshot. Why would I be calling about the homeowner's when that actually was already cancelled last September? So basically this company can make whatever mistakes and put whatever in their notes and not be responsible for any of it. I want the refund below that I was told I could get the last time I called in January. This company is terrible. They should not be in business.

      I keep getting harassing emails from Goosehead about an insurance policy that I did not request. Now I am getting emails saying that if I don't sign a cancelation request then the policy will be enforced and I will owe Goosehead. I don't feel comfortable signing anything when I never requested a policy with Goosehead. All of the ***resentatives with Goosehead have been rude. I spoke with a *** named ******* via chat. She rudely stopped responding to me. I spoke with another *** named ****** who said that my lender may have requested a quote from Goosehead and then he hung up on me. My lender says they have not requested anything from Goosehead. This company has got to be a scam!

      An absolute nightmare of a company to work with. Where do I even begin to share everything theyve messed up with my home owners insurance. I began working with goose head when I bought my home May 2024. The agent I was assigned to was difficult to get ahold of, slow to respond and often did not do the things I asked (like finding me flood insurance or checking other prices or looking into concerns of mine) Then my home owners insurance company sent me a letter of cancellation due to trees on my property - but goose head never told me or gave me notice of this pending cancellation so I didnt find out until AFTER the policy cancelled! So then I had to coordinate with them to get a second home owners insurance policy. Within a couple months, the new company also had concern about my trees. So I hired a tree company and began trying to work with goosehead to find out what trees needed to be cut etc. I spent hours of my life on hold and talking to random people at goosehead and it was wildly difficult to get any answers. I spent over $5,000 trimming all my trees back and then sent in my photos to goosehead while on the phone with a customer service agent. She assured me she was sending them to my home owners insurance. 2 weeks later I call back and Im informed she never sent them! So the new agent says h*** send them. Great. I call back the next week and Im informed that because the photos were sent late the policy is now cancelled and oh by the way I havent had coverage now for almost a month and NOBODY NOTIFIED ME! The negligence is horrifying! Because multiple agents couldnt do their job and no one seems to follow up or oversee anything, I was dropped from my insurance. After paying thousands of dollars to do the work needed. I did my part. Goosehead dropped the ball. Now its been a week and still no one from management has contacted me. Today I was given a scheduled call by another *** and instead of answering my questions I was just told theyd call

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
