They ought to be able to accept time-stamped digital pics and an affidavit (or send the lazy-assed agent out to the farm).Newbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501998014769060130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867503761315699133.post-55308218882470214582011-08-22T23:55:37.705-04:002011-08-22T23:55:37.705-04:00That "Well, the dealer screwed up the paperwo...That "Well, the dealer screwed up the paperwork, and it's not our fault" is pretty much exactly the same line I got from one of the women in the Lee Newhart office when MY coverage above the bare minimum was cancelled by State Farm.<br /><br />Call and ask for Lee Newhart. Explain to him that you know you aren't the first person this has happened to since you know me -- I guarantee you, he remembers the conversation he had with me, since it's why I am no longer willing to have my voice on his radio ads -- and see what he plans to do about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867503761315699133.post-54259403402769710462011-08-22T21:37:34.422-04:002011-08-22T21:37:34.422-04:00Honestly, I think the the problem is your agent. ...Honestly, I think the the problem is your agent.

They DID require photos of the vehicles, but also gave us several days to arrange that, when we set up the various policies. <br /><br />They even handled the chimney fire well, slower than I thought ideal, but things went smoothly and the adjuster made a point of calling us with the quote in hand to EXPLAIN why certain things were only covered partially.<br /><br />I'd be switching insurance too if they pulled that sort of stunt on me!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924993310937754220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867503761315699133.post-73318568182991976962011-08-22T13:55:53.738-04:002011-08-22T13:55:53.738-04:00If you qualify, USAA has been awesome for me.

They even handled the concept of having cars registered in two states while moving to a third, until we got everything sorted out. <br /><br />If you don't, I strongly recommend anyone else but state farm!
