heh, that posted while I was writing the last message. Eric is right about the other policies thing. One time they were giving me crap over $700. I reminded them I had 3 vehicles with them and had been a customer for xx years and that seemed to push them over the edge.Originally Posted by uglyota
Do you have your Tahoe policy with the same company? Renter's insurance? I bet it will be important for them to make you happy to keep your business. If anybody knows how to get money out of an insurance company it's Scotti and Espearo...I assume you've gotten their input by now. Remember, insurance originally built the 8runner, then paid out bigtime again when it was finally "used up"
And like anything, the cooler you are the cooler they will be. Treat the guy like he might not be an idiot and make sure he understands how much the car meant to you and I bet he will do what he can to take care of you.
The keeping your cool advice is also very important. I was so mad at one evil adjuster lady with one eye (seriously!) that I almost blew up on her, but ended up getting her to escalate it to a supervisor who was much less evil.
p.s. All this talk reminds me, I think it is about time for me to do another big claim. I bet I have almost paid the insurance companies more than they have paid me, and we can't have that.
