A Perfect Example

It's funny because the more people talk about Allstate insurance company the more horror stories you hear. Why aren't there any people giving examples of how well they were treated by Allstate?

I saw a couple of comments on another blog where the people said they were so happy with Allstate and they had filed claims and were paid quickly and with no hassles, etc., etc. But they were discovered to be Allstate employees!

Here's a letter to the editor of the St Petersburg Times written by Richard Kwiecienski from Homosassa, Florida that I thought you'd like: (I've added the red highlighted type for emphasis).

"I've been an Allstate homeowner and auto insurance customer for more than 50 years, the last 22 years being here in Florida. During this time I have never submitted a claim.

Ten years ago, I took the initiative to install hurricane panels at a cost exceeding $5,000, which lowered my annual homeowner premium by $7. Big deal! Last year, Allstate informed me that my homeowners policy would not be renewed after October. Needless to say, I was surprised, disappointed, inconvenienced and disgusted with the notice. As a result, I canceled my Allstate auto insurance.

After much searching, I replaced both homeowners and auto insurance at about a 20 percent discount over what I was paying for Allstate. I hope more Allstate policyholders will do the same and boycott the "good hands" people by going with alternate insurers. Not only will they be sending greedy insurers a message, but also, like me, might be pleasantly surprised with lower premium costs from replacement insurers."

Ahhhh, another satisfied "former customer".

And it goes on.....

By the way....ads on this site are auto-generated by Google and I have no control of what appears. So if you see an ad for Allstate, believe me, I did not deliberately place it here. But, hey, feel free to check out their ad and see if they are the right company for you.
