Dateline NBC And Insurance Agents Taking Advantage Of Seniors
Last night Dateline did a hidden investigation to, “see what insurance agents say, and what they don’t, when they think they are alone with a senior.” I didn’t see the show but read the article at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24095230/.
Unfortunately, there are people in every industry, including the media, which should be taken out and shot for their [...]

Insurance Claim Time. Delivering On “The Promise”
Allstate recently released approximately 150,000 pages of documents from a review of its claims practice in the 1990s. Many people claim the documents reveal an “us” against “them” (Allstate vs. policyholder) mentality of the claims departments. Allstate’s not alone. I’m sure you can find it in various companies’ employees. Unfortunately, it appears to simply be [...]

Your Insurance Agent Could Save You Thousands Of Dollars
Buying insurance is about as much fun as a rash.
There are companies that sell via internet, toll-free 800 numbers, through associations, and whatever manner they can . Insurance companies think if they cut out the agent their distribution costs are less. Many consumers like this option. That’s fine.

Is Your Insurance Agent Letting You Down?
Arizona is one of a few states where insurance agents are not required to take continuing education classes to keep their license. On one hand I think this should be changed because of the great disservice so many agents give to their customers. On the other hand I love it because we constantly find little [...]

The Real Key To Low Home and Car Insurance Premiums
Everyone wants the lowest price they can get on their home, auto and other personal insurance. I don’t feel out of line making that bold statement.
It’s funny how almost everyone we talk with starts going down a list of things that may or may not qualify for discount. They’ll say they qualify for various discounts [...]
