That is just plain wrong! I don't think they can raise your rates if you don't place an actual claim. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Argue with them if they try it! Quote Link to comment

Eeyore and Shadow Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Last fall I was getting ready to go caching when I saw my father's dog had escaped and rand odwn the dirt alley across from my house. Following him down the alley I hit a rock that cracked the Y pipe in my cougar and ripped everything from the catalytic converter back free. We cought the dog and took him home then still went caching. It cost me $450 to replace the whole exhaust and an entire saturday that could have been spent caching.

+Searching_ut Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Bummer. Did you have to walk very far to get help? I did the same basic thing to my old 4X4 in a very remote area of southern Utah a few years back. Had to hike over 60 miles, then hitch a ride to get help. People wonder why I always have a big water jug in my vehicle when I venture out into the desert. Quote Link to comment

That is just plain wrong! I don't think they can raise your rates if you don't place an actual claim. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Argue with them if they try it! Mention the words "Insurance Commissioner" frequently. IF that doesn't work, file a complaint with your state's Insurance Commissioner. Can't raise your rates without a claim. The rock could have been anywhere. The car was being driven over an established road, not used in a manner inconsistent with your personal use type insurance policy (ie: you weren't engaged in a business, or willfully endangering your self or your car), and you didn't file a claim. Bad, insurance agent, bad! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nebraskache/ Quote Link to comment

I lived in Wisconsin for the first 26 years of my life and I learned early on that you should always leave plenty of space on both sides of the road (especially within 200 miles of Chicago on Friday or Sunday night) because you never know when one FIB is going to pass you on the right at 110 mph in his Audi because some FIB in a BMW is already passing you on the left at 108 mph.
