Gieco refused to take accountability or responsibility for ACH over charge for my motorcycle insurance. They continued to try and take money out of my account after bill was paid. Than customer service managers blamed me for calling in the payment. After I cancelled my policy they sent me a bill for 26.44 I will not be paying that. I'd advise all to find another insurance company if a issue with billing occurs they will not do anything to correct the issue. Gieco is not customer friendly

The customer service representatives claim a managers will call you back within 72 hours and they never do call you back. I have called 4 times over the past 2 months requesting a manager, each time they are in meetings or its past 5 and they're not in the office. I can provide phone records to show I have never received the call backs they claim to make. The agents are allowed to treat you with no respect and lie blatantly on the phone. They advised the calls "may be" recorded claiming they have no record of the prior calls, only notes. Its a bunch of shady business processes and they need to be stopped. I only went with them out of desperation due to needing an SR 22. Find another company ASAP

In the course of business via our phone discussion, Geico SIU manager Mike DeGrocco of the Westbury NY claims office called me to "smooth over" a dispute I had with one of his adjusters. On a knowingly recorded line, he called me itic; he asked me for my address so he could "drive up there with some SIU people and negotiate in person," which was a thinly veiled threat of physical violence; he also mimicked my stutter after I couldn't get my words out, and when I asked him incredulously about the mockery, he claimed "I don't know what you're talking about."
After several calls and an email to the in-house manager and to their home office email, I have been ignored thus far.
I am deeply disturbed and disgusted that this company would allow, enable, and even promote this type of behavior, especially from management.

I'm not sure where he is located but I spoke with a representative named Matt today and I have to say he was amazing! He was very helpful with my situation and went above and beyond my expectations to answer every question I had. He was knowledgeable and professional and I got off the phone with him feeling very satisfied that everything I was initially worried about had been handled effectively and efficiently. Thank you, Matt, for the great service!

I keep getting calls from a local adjuster Louis [email protected] who states in his voicemail he refuses to communicate via email and will only talk to me over the phone. I am trying to obtain a fair value of my total loss vehicle. Their current evaluation/comparison of 21 vehicles, did not include the options, sport package, engine suspension upgrade my car has which is a $4,500+ upgrade, in addition it doesn't include the premium interior, sports exterior models etc. I've sent the adjuster several examples of vehicles that do match my vehicle which are for sale. These range on the low end of $27,000 and high end of $29.000 The adjuster has my vehicle $4,000 to $5000 under valued due to not comparing apples to apples. Iv'e request for my case to be forwarded to a manager on several occasions but they refused.

RE: ID Number: ***
Claim Number: ***

Dear ***:

We received your September 13, 2018 correspondence. We have not included any personal identifying information on our response, as you requested.

Our client’s vehicle was declared a total loss by us as mentioned in the complaint. We utilize CCC Information Services for our vehicle total loss valuations which is a provider specializing in the insurance and collision repair industries. Many factors were used to assist in determining the value of the client’s vehicle including but not limited to: zip code where the vehicle is garaged, mileage, equipment, trim level, and condition of his vehicle. These aforementioned factors were reviewed and submitted to CCC to gather information and determine a current market value for the client’s vehicle. One of the client’s concerns was that the comparable vehicles listed in the valuation report did not contain all the options as the loss vehicle. We confirmed all options and packages by obtaining a vehicle inquiry form from the dealer in addition to having a member of management complete a physical inspection of the vehicle.

To validate CCC’s report, we conducted our own research of comparable vehicles from *** and *** online resources for our client. There were several listings of similar vehicles within 50 miles of the client’s zip code. The comparable most identical to the client’s vehicle was 25 miles away with a list price of $22,980. We confirmed the vehicle is available and price as listed. This price closely reflects the CCC adjusted value of $23,351 for the client’s vehicle. After taxes and applicable fees less the deductible, our total loss offer to the client is $22,503.37 which we feel is fair and reasonable based on our research. Our client accepted our updated settlement offer on September 17, 2018. Regarding the concern with our adjuster emailing, we have an avenue for internet inquiries via GEICO.com that will ensure the proper associates receive the communication. We will send correspondence such as estimate copies and valuations via the same system but it does not allow for two way communication. We feel the best avenue to explain the claims and valuation processes is via a face to face or phone conversation which allows for questions and immediate explanations.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Parish C, Auto Damage Manager, at or via e-mail at ***@geico.com.

After my car accident (Geico was the insurance carrier of the other driver who was at fault), I had an awful experience dealing with Geico. The claims adjuster I worked with, Brad Booe, was unhelpful and confrontational and I had such anxiety about talking to him that my claim ended up unresolved. He closed my case and when I asked him to reopen the case, he never returned my call nor made any effort to help. I am very disappointed with their customer service and their ability to help those who have been injured work through the process of collecting on a claim. I will NEVER use Geico, nor would I recommend them to anyone in the future.

I used to think their service was great. Now, I feel ignored and they still have my car after almost a month from my accident. I don't even know when it will be inspected for the estimated repairs because to this day, no one has even checked it out or for that matter, told me when my damage inspector plans on checking out my car. I've contacted GEICO several times about this issue with no response other than they'll contact the damage adjuster's supervisor. That supervisor is just as bad because I received no response from him either. These actions are leading to further suspicions as to why I am being ignored. My car is a brand new 2018 vehicle that I had for less than a month and I thought by now I'd be waiting for the repairs to be completed. The fact that my car has been at the towing company since the date of my accident leads me to believe it's probably rusted, destroyed and no longer drivable because it's been sitting around for weeks at the towing company (I assume) with no one inspecting it to determine the repair costs. For my car to be just sitting around for weeks leads my car open to vandalism and that's what I'm afraid of as well. I don't want to lose my car but at this rate, I might.
When I purchased my car and added it to my policy, the policyholder and I also added renter's insurance at the dealership. Very "convenient" how when my accident occurred, that wasn't on my policy so I wasn't able to rent a car to commute to a lot of places where I needed to be medically treated. I ended up having to come out of pocket to pay for these things. My policy even raised when I added the new car and added my defensive driver's certificate which I thought would lower it significantly. I am not "at-fault" for this accident but yet I'm suffering all the consequences and more as if I was at-fault. Once this claim is over, I will definitely be looking into other insurance companies that are actually willing to provide the services they claim to offer. I'm quite confident that whatever company I choose, would beat GEICO. At this point, I am more concerned with customer service than price.

I have been with Geico over the course of about 4 years, and the customer service has continued to decline. I have my payments made through auto payment method. This agency charged me three times, and lied about the cause for the charge. I was ask to send in documentation to support the claim, and was given the wrong email. I would assume that my personal information is in someones junk mail. I have tried to resolve this issue with them, but it seems as though no one with Geico wants to resolve my issue. I have called several times, and was told the department that handles payments was not available. I feel as though I have been taken advantage of, and there is nothing I can do. The initial call I was hung up on when I stated what happened with the billing. I just want to get the amount owned to me back into my account. I also incurred a $20 penalty for the account going overdrawn. I would like to get that amount back as well.

Dear ***:

We received your letter dated September 04, 2018 regarding the above noted customer. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response as you requested.

Our insured elected to enroll in automatic payments for his future payments at the inception of his policy on January 31, 2017 via our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. Our insured also elected to enroll in paperless policy/billing and provided his email address. GEICO emailed a link for new business paperwork, which included a bill of his future extraction schedule. The extraction bill stated, “By enrolling in Auto Pay, you agree to allow GEICO to automatically debit future insurance payments from your account. You also agree to allow your financial institution to debit your account for these payments, and you understand changes to your policy or premium may change the amount debited. We will continue to extract your payments from the designated account as they become due until you instruct us otherwise. To terminate automatic payments, you must notify us by phone or at GEICO.com at least three business days before your next scheduled transaction to prevent payment processing.”

On July 06, 2018, our insured postponed his scheduled July 14, 2018 payment of $174.52 to be extracted July 23, 2018. On July 23, 2018, GEICO extracted $174.52 from our insured’s banking account. Our insured’s payment was declined due to non-sufficient funds. When payment is declined for non-sufficient funds, a second and final request is automatically submitted. GEICO resubmitted our insured’s payment of $174.52 to his banking account. On July 25, 2018, our insured made a payment of $174.52 from his *** credit card.

According to our records, our insured contacted GEICO on July 28, 2018 regarding a double payment for the month of July. Since he called in to make a payment with his *** card and the automatic payment was already submitted, he requested a refund for the double payment. Our agent referred our insured’s policy to our accounts receivable department for review. On August 31, 2018, our agent advised our insured he could do a three way call to our insured’s banking institution to verify both payments were cleared, or our insured could submit a detailed statement from his bank. Our agent provided our insured with our accounts receivable department email address.

Later that day, our accounts receivable department reviewed documentation our insured submitted. With this review, we verified our insured’s July automatic payment was extracted and processed a refund total of $178.49 to our insured. On September 04, 2018, a retention agent and accounts receivable agent att***ted to contact our insured. Unfortunately, they were unable to reach him and left voicemails.

Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed our insured’s policy and all documentation provided by our insured. With this review, we determined the scheduled extraction payment of $174.52 on July 24, 2018 was correctly processed. Our insured elected to enroll in automatic payments on January 17, 2017 via our IVR system and agreed to have his future payments extracted. Per our records, we agreed to make an exception and refund our insured his payment of $178.49 made on July 29, 2018. The refund was credited to his banking account on file on August 31, 2018. If there is any further investigation or documentation needed from GEICO, we will be more than happy to assist. Please feel free to contact Jimmette K at or email us at ***@geico.com for additional questions or requests.

I HATE GEICO!!!!
I was hit by a geico client on March 4 2018 and my car was totaled. When I first received a call from the claim rep it was a month and half after the accident. At first the conversation was going ok until she (Cynthia C) turned the off the recording and it went downhill from there. First off she said since it been a month and a half if you go back to the hospital Geico will not cover the bills if that's the case why it take you a month and a half to call me for the first time. To be honest after that call I really didn't feel comfortable talking with her I just felt I couldn't trust her. So to speed this up we kept going back and forth about paperwork that I sent to her several times. So on 7/24 we spoke and I told her I would fax the info needed to her as soon as we hung up and not to mention that phone call didn't go well because I called her out on saying they wouldn't pay for my additional medical bills. Lets just say she got very defensive at that point. I never heard from her again so I decided to call her and see the status of my claim. On 8/30 she said she closed because she never received my paperwork but I have a confirmation page that it went through. Also she said I spoke with her supervisor which is a lie (I know all calls are recorded so I would LOVE to hear this so called conversation) she said me and the supervisor had supposedly discussed the settlement I'm thinking to myself how could we discuss the settlement if you never received the paperwork so you could access my medicals bills. She said they also sent me a letter that I never received saying what they are offering me but I told her I never got that letter. So she tells me it has been six months so the case has been closed but statue of limitations allows 12 months so my claim should have never been closed. Any other time she would blow my phone up if she needed any info from me but this time it takes me to call her and ask what's going on. I truly believe she received my paperwork and she closed my claim out of spite, Now I'm told the ball is in my court her exact words and I have to send them my medical records. I guess once I send my medical bills they wont receive those either I did tell her I am tired of sending paperwork with my personal info and its seems it just out there floating around. This has been nothing but a pure headache so I'm looking into legal representation to handle this because I feel they are giving me the run around. Lets all remember your client came across three lanes of traffic and hit me with my 2 year old toddler in the car and didn't even apologize or check to see if we were ok. The treatment I have received throughout this whole process is unacceptable!!! This company is full of ***, LIES, AND DISREPECT!!!
P.S. Please stop sending me advertisements in the mail I wouldn't switch to your company if my life depended on it if you treated me like this I could only imagine what I would be treated like if I was a policy holder. Thanks but no thanks
Sincerely,
A very disgusted customer

Improper phrasing on accident claim evaluation to cause fraudulent avoidance of GAP insurance payment on my vehicle. The damage to the car was labeled as excessive wear and tear in reference to a scratch on the bumper. The car was a 2015 and there was no excessive wear and tear on the car as there are records of the car being taken care of properly the entire time it was owned. The GAP insurance company stated the specific reason for denial is the wording of the evaluation report.

RE: ID Number: ***

Dear ***:

We received your correspondence dated August 30, 2018, regarding the above-noted complaint. We have not included any personal identifying information on our response on our response, as you requested.
The customer had a loss on May 27, 2018 and her vehicle was declared a total loss. In evaluating the vehicle, there was damage to the vehicle present prior to the accident and we accounted for that damage as rating the condition of the exterior of the vehicle as rough. This resulted in the customer’s GAP insurance not paying that portion of her balance. Upon receipt of the complaint our local auto damage supervisor spoke with the customer and discussed the reason for the deduction and the customer did confirm the damage was not from the loss and agreed with the value of the vehicle.
We discussed with her and changed the evaluation to show the reduction as unrelated prior damage instead of a rough condition and the customer was satisfied and stated her GAP insurance would pay the total balance with the updated valuation.

I am rejecting this response because: I was told the report had been corrected only to find out that not only had it not been corrected but also to show they took money away for the mileage on the car twice. 1,500 the first time and it was also included in the 1,069 figure for wear and tear that wasn't really wear and tear.

I was looking for an address to send a letter to Geico and ran across this website. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised with the poor reviews. Geico's Marketing team should win awards every year for putting lipstick on this pig/gecko. We were Auto insurance customers for 25 years with spotless driving records. My 19 year old son the had an accident claim and I got a speeding ticket (68 in a 55) and so they tripled (yes, tripled) our rates. And when I called not even so much of a sorry and we did appreciate your 25 years of customer loyalty. Nothing. So it turns out that Geico is fantastic if you never need them but when you do; they don't want your business. Good business model; just a disgusting way to do business. Yup; those greasy Gecko ads are clever and it is good they focus on price because all other company attributes are devoid of merit.

All is for the best now (getting rid of Gecio) as I have all of our property covered by USAA; a very respectable company.

Was rear-ended by a uninsured motorist and told by Megan at Geico on 8/16 that my deductible would be $100 b/c the driver that hit me was uninsured. Went to Abra Collision Center (as instructed by Geico) and was told my deductible was $0 (its written on the collision detail form). Ben (Geico Adjuster) called me on 8/24 and said my car was ready for pickup. Went to pick up my car on 8/25, was told my deductible was $500 to get my car. On top of that, my car is not fully repaired. The trunk is still off alignment(just like when I took it in for repair), as well as the electrical buzzing noise coming from the rear of the car is still present. My car is a brand new 2018 Ford Taurus that I've only had for 1 month and there was no buzzing sound until my car was rear-ended. Geico does not want to take responsibility for the for buzzing sound and is telling me to take it to the Ford Dealership and get an affidavit from them that the sound is a result of the accident. AGAIN...my car is brand new...there was no sound prior to my car being hit. In the midst of all this, I asked the Geico "supervisor" matt to retrieve a copy of the recorded phone call on 8/16 with Megan stating that my deductible would only be $100...I was told by Matt and other reps on 8/25 that the call was not recorded on that day and that they don't record every call....which I know is a lie. Insurance companies are bound by law to record the conversations. I still don't have my car and I will not pick up my car until it is fully repaired!(just like when I took it in for repair, so why won't Geico retrieve the recorded phone call on 8/16? SOMEONE NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATE THIS COMPANY FOR THEIR SHADY PRACTICES. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THEIR SHADINESS..AND I HAVE SIGNED THE PETITION! I AM ALSO CONSULTING WITH AN ATTORNEY

The agent kept collecting service charge for service they did not provide.
I had homeowner insurance through Geico with *** until 6/17/2018. I want to switch to landlords insurance so I called my agent Geico. The rep said *** does not write landlord insurance so he threatened me and force me to accept *** policy ***. After all the rep did not actually cancel my old policy on the same house while sold me a new one. A month later I got mails from ***/geico charging me for overdue to pay for 2018-2019 policy, #***.

It has been 2 weeks since I was rear ended while slowing down due to traffic slowing down because of pouring out rain. Although the driver that hit me got a ticket I have not been able to get a rental or get my car fix. Unfortunately the other driver had GEICO and it has been a nightmare. I spoke to someone from GEICO after they call me to get a recorded statement and that was it. I have not been able to talk to any body that has access to my claim since then. I have call GEICO costumer service several times and the only thing they can do is ask me to call the agent that is handling the claim for the driver that hit me. I have tried and tried and tried an the only thing I can get is a hold of his voice mail. I this point I do not even know what to do.

Recently I had the unfortunate luck of having a rock crack my windshield while I was driving on the highway. I submitted a claim into Geico online to start the repair/ replace process. I was informed that due to the size of the crack, I would need to have my windshield completely replaced. I was not concerned about having this done as I have had a few cars in the past and have never experienced any issues or problems when I having to replace my windshield. With all of these cars I always had carried full coverage insurance, regardless of whether I owned the car outright or financed it. However, to my surprise, Geico proceeded to tell me that I do not have a specific glass coverage under comprehensive and I would need to pay the $500 deductible in order to get my windshield replaced.
I feel as though Geico is deceiving its customers and purposely leaving out important information when customers are obtaining car insurance. I do not feel that I will be giving my business to your company once my policy runs out. This practice of yours is quite distasteful and I do not want to be associated with a company that takes advantage of people.

Terrible customer service. The adjuster would not call me back. I told her exactly what happened when I put DEF in my diesel. They pulled a sample from tanks and the diesel must be from top because it came back negative. They only wanted to pay for repair that doesnt keep my warranty. Now I'm asking the shop to resample from tank, fuel rail and filter to prove my case. I told them the truth. No one intentionally want to tear up their brand new truck, but they rather pay to try and not pay out vs pay a claim. I'm done with geico after this claim. Hopefully I dont gave to get a lawyer to force them to pay.

My son was thinking of moving from PA to live with us for a while, so I went on to GEICO's website to get a quote to add his vehicle to my policy. As part of the quote process, it asked for the driver information so I input his name and license number. There was no warning or authorization stating that entering that information would add him to the policy, which I never would have done since he did not live with us and still does not. The quote information appeared, and I received an email right afterwards stating that my son had been added to the policy, to which I immediately responded that it was a mistake, I was only trying to get a quote. They replied by sending me a confirmation of my request to remove him and requesting additional information and proofs. I replied again it had been a mistake and insisted they remove him but I tried to supply them some proofs anyway. They refused and did not accept the proofs, however I received a call from a rep. who agreed to accept what I did have which was a copy of my son's lease. However when I sent that in, they went back on their word and refused it, stating I had been misinformed. I believe that GEICO is committing fraud and refusing to remove my son from the policy since the premium is significantly higher and they want to take the money from me even though I have sufficiently proven my son does not live with us.

Re: ***
Case ID: ***
Policy#: ***

Dear ***:

This will acknowledge receipt of your August 21, 2018 inquiry regarding the above referenced private passenger automobile insurance policy.

Our records show that on August 16, 2018, the named insured accessed the above policy via GEICO’s website to request a premium quote for adding a 1994 *** to the policy, and his son, ***, as the principal driver of the added vehicle. In the request, the insured indicated that Shmuel is a resident of his household and would only have insurance coverage through the above policy. The insured chose not to add the vehicle to the policy upon receiving the quote. However, *** was added to the policy as an additional driver effective August 17, 2018, based on the information that was provided by the insured.

It is GEICO’s position that since we write a Family Automobile Insurance Contract, our company is legally liable for all licensed operators that are members of the insured’s household, and or licensed operators that are given permissive use of the insured’s vehicles unless they have other insurance coverage. However, since the insured chose not to add the quoted vehicle to the policy, and the information reflected on ***’s motor vehicle report does not indicate that he resides at the address on the policy, we have made an exception to remove him from the policy effective August 17, 2018.

Since there appears to be no valid complaint against GEICO, we ask that this be removed from our record.

If you require further assistance with this matter, please contact the undersigned at ***.

Sincerely,

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:
I acknowledge that GEICO is making an "exception" in my case to remove my son from the policy.However, they are not acknowledging that they engaged in a misleading and possibly fraudulent transaction by adding my son to my policy as part of the quote process. It is understandable that if information is presented to them that there are family members who are licensed drivers residing in a customer's household it would be their legal duty to query the customer to ascertain if in fact the person does live in the household and if so then those persons should be added to the policy. However, the process of adding them automatically without any specific authorization from, or notification or warning to, the customer is absolutely wrong and is tantamount to fraud.Particularly in my case, where it was 100% undoubtedly unequivocally clear that the only reason I made any action on my policy was to obtain a quote for a hypothetical scenario. The way they have their website set up is deceptive and predatory. When adding the vehicle information for which you are obtaining the quote, it gives you the option of adding a driver who is not currently on your policy. It then prompts you to list the person's address in order to obtain the quote. Nowhere is there a notification or warning that if you enter your home address they will automatically add this person to your policy! Now, in my case my son who has lived in PA and had nothing but a PA address for over 10 years was thinking of moving to NY and living with us for a time. So why would I not enter his address as my home address? Wouldn't I want to obtain an accurate quote? That's the whole reason I clicked on the quote link to begin with! The next screen showed results of his driving record scan, which surprised me since the previous screen also did not state that any drivers' record report would be generated. Frankly I believe that is illegal, that they need to obtain consent from the driver himself in order to run that report. Despite seeing that screen, I didn't think it would be an issue since I never actually added him to my policy! And of course had no intention of doing so. In addition, the drivers' report shows my son currently licensed in PA - so that alone should have prevented them from "automatically" adding him to my policy. Clearly GEICO is luring customers in with their quote feature, trying to ensnare people and raise their premiums by adding drivers to their policy involuntarily or without their knowledge. If I had been quiet and had not filed complaints they would gladly have charged me hundreds of dollars more for someone who does not live in my household and never has.Besides this misleading and possibly fraudulent practice they perform, clearly they put forth extra effort to"smokescreen" the whole thing and make it very difficult to correct the error once you realize what has happened. Their emails are very superficial and they make sure you get a different person each time you contact them so you can't build any continuity. After my 4th email which contained a promise that I would file complaints against them, they finally had someone call me to calm me down. He was polite and courteous and actually offered a reasonable compromise, which I complied with shortly thereafter. However, their next email flatly rejected what he had agreed to, stating what he told me was "miscommunication". This company is greedy, dishonest and dishonorable and fails to own up to any mistakes or wrongdoing. I have no intention of letting them get away with "OK you screamed loudest so we'll make an exception for you, just keep it quiet." How long before they pull something like this on me again? They need to be shown they can't do business like this and get away with it. What I expect at the minimum, in addition to the action removing my son from my account, is for them to issue an apology for the way I was (mis)treated. I also want them to state that they will revise their website so it is not misleading and deceptive. I understand they can't do that overnight, but they must at least state they will begin the process and follow up to ensure it is done.In addition, I want Revdex.com to keep a record of this complaint so customers visiting will see it. I do NOT agree to having it completely cleared from their record.

Since 2013, when I opened my account with GEICO for motorcycle insurance, my rate goes up annually - every year. My first policy was over-insured: I purchased redundant portions, and did not know it until my renewal came around with the first increase. My second-year policy was lower because of the unneeded elements that were cut. In Sept 2017, my monthly rate, automatic draft was $32.00, in October, 2017, it went to $38.00, this October, $40.17. That is a 25% increase in 13 months. An 'agent' of GEICO told me about the rising costs in medical and doing business in my state and blah, blah. Yes, GEICO may save you by switching, but the company will punish you for safe driving and loyalty.

In early July my fiancé happened to hit a random item left lying on the highway. I quickly called Geico and filed a claim. A representative told me that the premium wouldn’t change by much (if any) due to the nature of the event. It was as Geico originally told me a “no fault” event. The representative also told me that even if a change happened, it wouldnt be until the reviewable period after six months.
Flash forward two months and we have gotten a series of emails and calls. When we finally talked to a representative they informed us that the monthly payment is now $40 a month more than before. The representative blatantly lied to us about the premium rising and the time frame in which the plan would be reviewed.
I don’t necessarily find lying to be the best way to keep customers. We have no intent of staying with Geico. We will be switching to a company that tells us the truth from the beginning.

We called to request a price quote to add our daughter to our current policy. They gave us the quote in May. We were checking on other prices as it was extremely high. In August we got our bill and they added her to our policy without notifying us. When we called to find out why they told us they were contractually obligated to add her when they are notified of a driver living in the same residence. I spoke to two different agents and a manager. I sat on hold for 15 minutes in order to speak to the manager who ended up hanging up in my face. They all kept telling me we could opt our daughter out of ins, starting today, 8/15/18 but that we still had to pay for her coverage that we were not aware she had. A total of $171 even if we chose to cancel. I told them we were never notified of the change. The manager said our mail had been un-deliverable since May apparently. BUT the mailing address on file was correct. And no one attempted to contact via email or phone. They have no problem sending billing correspondence that way. We have been customers with them fooooooooooor years. Luckily we have never had to deal with filing a claim. I can only imagine the horror there. Geico's business practices and customer services are horrendous. They did nothing to try rectify their mistakes. Simply said you still have to pay the $171. Every time I would refute their comments in regards to the policy changes they would come up with something else to try to validate they we owe them this money. I will never use this company again. THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST!
