Yeah, and as if that weren't enough ... house taxes in MA is going up another 5%. No matter what you do in this state they suck you 'til you bleed.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I think you'll be seeing higher increases than that with our new Gov in the drivers seat.

I HATE insurance companies!
it's too bad we need it
they sure do a good job of screwing their customers over

That sucks Bloo

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I did some research using the FEMA site and according to their site, my particular area falls in the "Low to Moderate" risk area. NOT THE HIGH RISK AREA that my insurance claims I'm in. I emailed them ALOT of information pertaining to my case and they are "looking" into it. I'm sure they're gonna keep singing the same song though - Is there a group that supercedes insurance companys? Someone who could over-rule what they say?
This bites, 1 year of insurance + property taxes = a decent used car bought in cash each year. even worse, in 2 years, with that money...I could completely renovate my boat and make it NEW.....I better call the Samaritans, I'm getting suicidal thoughts!!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Look at it this way--if you lived on Long Island or in New Jersey, it would equal a brand new subcompact every year.

well if you find anything like the car insurance board of appeals its still an up hill battle.
I was determined to be not at fault in an accident by the appeal board,
Other driver admitted fault,
police report stated he was at fault
and STILL my insurance company says im 50% at fault.

I know its not the same thing but im just saying insurance is a crock, any way you look at it. I hate that you need it, and its a good thing you have it when you do... but all the money you put in and nothing in return...... just blows

Hope this helps put the heat on them!

gilly,

the only way insurance companies will ever listen to you is if you hire a lawyer (who in turn will likely retain a surveyer). yes, it's going to cost money to demonstrate you're not in a flood zone but it in the end a pro could save you some money.

the rest of us are paying for gulf coast homeowners. insurers are simply recouping their payouts from katrina (amongst others) and ... the ins. companies are adjusting their risk portfolios to protect against a catastrophic northeast hurricane (which, if you've been reading the papers in the past year, has been talked about very little in the press).

don't get mad, get even.
