I called a few insurance companies for auto quotes. I went with one company and a few months later reicieved a bill from one of the other companies that i got a quote from. I called them to ask why the policy was issued. The answer was that there “system” automatically issues a policy if the information is left in there for a certain amount of time. I never signed anything or gave any other kind of authorization. Now I have been sent to collections for car insurance I never new I had. Is this legal?
the company was Farmers
That’s illegal. Get a lawyer.
No this is not legal…..
I’d contact the state insurance comission and get a specific involved. Sounds like crap to me.
No it is not legal.
no its not legal and they are not supposed to do that ,several of the insurance company’s have got in big trouble for doing this your not liable for the debt,and id let them know that ,let them take you to court a judge will rule in your favor on this one,and they,ll have to pay cost plus a lot of other things also and they know it,your in the right on this one,by law they cant do this and it was very dumb on there behalf to try it,good luck with it.
that’s b.s. you need to call a lawyer.
Nope. If you never make a payment, then coverage never goes into force.
You’ll have to contest it with collections.
no, its not and i would love to know the company that does that.
No, there is no agreement without your signature and payment.
They are using the collection agency to try to bully you into paying. Tell the collection agency the situation and let them know they are free to take you to court if they wish because you are confident that the law is firmly on your side.
You may even want to contact Farmers again and tell them that if they don’t call off the dogs you will report them to the Better Business Bureau and the State Insurance Regulator in your state.
Hopefully, they will back down. It is such a shame that people act this way in their lust for profit. Hang in there.
call the Department Of Insurance…they dont have a signed application…
