Dear *** ***: Thank you for your recent inquiry*** ** reported to us on October 9, that damage occurred to his *** ** while it was parked and unoccupied. After inspecting the vehicle, we had concerns that the damages were inconsistent with the reported loss
description. An independent engineering firm completed an evaluation of the damages and determined the damages are not consistent with the vehicle being parked and struck by another motor vehicle. Instead, the firm determined that the damages found on the right rear panel and right rear wheel cover are indicative of the vehicle being in motion and sliding by another objectAfter a thorough review, we determined there was a misrepresentation of how the damages occurred. As a result, there is no coverage for the loss and no payments will be made under the policy. We informed *** ** of our denial and sent a letter on November 17, explaining how we came to our decision and including the policy language concerning misrepresentationIf you have any questions, please contact Ryan M***, Claims Manager, at ###-###-####.Sincerely,JLee MJr. Assistant Vice President, Claims

GEICO has no affiliation with *** Auto Painting and Body Works and we are not able to warranty or guarantee any of the repair work completed by the body shopAs an advocate for the consumer, we have contacted *** Auto Painting and Body Works and advised of the repair quality concerns the consumer has expressedWe have also provided *** Auto Painting and Body Works with the information for the consumer’s new repair facility of choice, *** Auto Body in Volo, Illinois in order to facilitate communication between the two shops

This is in response to your email of July 6, addressed to Tony N*** of GEICOAs requested, we have not included any of the customer's personally identifying information.We understand that the customer is not a GEICO insuredShe stated that on June 14, an unauthorized withdrawal of
$was taken from her bank account and applied to an existing GEICO policyGEICO accepts payments on good faith, and we assume that the policyholder is the accountholder or has the accountholder's permission when making payments.The customer has not provided us with enough information to locate this paymentWe have attempted to reach her three times asking that she give us a call so that we can discuss what is needed in order to locate the paymentTo date, she has not returned any of our callsShe also stated in her complaint that her bank had settled the issue regarding the fundsWe trust that means they allowed her to dispute the payment and have the funds returned to her bank account.If she wishes to pursue fraud charges for misuse of her bank account, the customer will need to file a police reportThe police department will then serve us with a subpoena, at which time all information regarding the party that used her account information will be released to the police.GEICO is very concerned, and we are always quick in our attempts to resolve banking issuesIn order for us to remove the customer's bank information, we must first locate the policy where the disputed payment was appliedIn order to do so, we need at least the last four digits of her account numberOnce the payment is located, we will immediately remove the customer's banking information.We trust that this information is sufficient to allow you to close out the complaintIf you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this issue, please feel free to call my associate, Barbara C***, at ###-###-####, ext, 1271.Sincerely,Heather M***

I am rejecting this response because: I have contacted Geico in regards to the home auto insuranceI am part of the home insurance, like I initially said and they have agreed that I am part of the home insurance When I was not part of the home insurance for the first call and asked for a discount and the staff said we cannot find you in the system and hence cannot provide the discount which was ligit as I was not part of the insurance on the first callI have then became part of the home insurance after the first call initially madeQuestion to you isHow were they able to find that I am in the home insurance department and auto department agreed that I am eligible for the discount and I was awarded the discount on the second call which was made. Now all of a sudden its changeIs it right if I have cancelled the insuranceDoes it make right for removing the discount and found I am not eligible after monthsAll transaction should stop after the cancellationPlus when I got the credit I spoke to representative that I want to be sure that I owe nothing to GEICOThey assured me there is nothing that I OWE to GEICO Why has this all changedIs your staff not properly educated to give the right information.

Don R*** Regional Vice President April 6, 2017VIA PORTALRevdex.com Serving Metro Washington DC & Eastern PennsylvaniaATTN: *** ***K StNW, 10th FloorWashington DC 2005-3404RE: File Number: ***Dear *** ***,We received your correspondence dated March 31, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response, as you requested. On March 12, 2017, we learned that a vehicle belonging to our policyholder sustained damage during a collision. Initially, our policyholder desired to file a claim for damages for her vehicle with the insurance carrier for the other party involved in this loss. On March 21, 2017, our policyholder decided to file the claim through her policy. We inspected the vehicle on March 21, 2017, and deemed it a total loss. Because the damage to the vehicle was extensive, we were unable to obtain an odometer reading. We requested permission to move the vehicle to a salvage location, so we could obtain the mileage and develop an actual cash value. The vehicle arrived at the salvage location, and we were still unable to obtain an odometer reading due to the damage to the vehicle. Using recent maintenance records, we established an approximate odometer reading of 101,735. We also obtained receipts from our policyholder documenting enhancements to the vehicle and obtained a market valuation report from CCC Information Services, Incwhich established an actual cash value of $9,480, less our policyholder’s $collision deductible, for a net settlement of $8,980. On March 29, 2017, we relayed the settlement amount to our customer, who rejected our value, and noted she had been offered a higher valuation from the insurance company for the other party involved in this loss. On March 30, 2017, our policyholder contacted Jason K***, Auto Damage Supervisor, to express her dissatisfaction with our valuation and its difference from the valuation she received from the at-fault insurance company. MrK*** attempted to obtain a copy of the other company’s valuation from our customer for comparison purposes, but she was unable to provide it. MrK*** noted he would review any information our customer could provide for consideration or substantiation of a different value, and delivered a copy of our valuation to our customer via e-mail. MrK*** also informed his manager, Paul C***, of our customer’s disagreement and desire for escalation of her complaint. Approximately three hours after MrK***’s conversation, MrC*** spoke with our customer. MrC*** requested a copy of the valuation from the other insurance company so he could review the differences. On April 3, 2017, MrC*** reviewed the valuation, and contacted our customer. MrC*** explained that we had valued the vehicle using the same options, however, the other insurance company used a different source for its valuation. MrC*** explained our valuation is accurate based on the local market, and noted that our customer retained the option to file for damages with the other carrier. Our customer noted she did not wish to pursue a claim with the other carrier, since it requested a statement from the driver of our customer’s vehicle, which she did not want to provide. During the course of the conversation, our customer also noted she had retained an attorney. MrC*** advised our customer he could no longer discuss the settlement with her, since she was represented by an attorney. MrC*** requested contact information for our customer’s attorney, and promised to call him or her to discuss the vehicle’s valuation. We are awaiting the attorney’s contact information so we can attempt to reach a settlement agreement. We sincerely regret any inconvenience our customer experienced during our handling of her claim. We particularly apologize for any unprofessional behavior our customer may have encountered when working with our associates. As noted above, we believe our valuation is accurate. We are prepared to discuss any discrepancies with our customer’s attorney when she provides the relevant contact information. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Gail M***, at ###-###-####, via FAX at ###-###-####, or via e-mail at ***@geico.com.

Dear Ms
***:
Thank you for your recent inquiry dated June 17, I welcome the opportunity to discuss Mrs***’ automobile insurance policy concerns
I apologize for Mrs***’s unsatisfactory customer service experienceAt GEICO, we strive for an excellent customer service experience with every policyholderMrs*** was advised in her conversation with Misti S*** on June 30, that we will provide the appropriate feedback to the agent
In her conversation, Ms*** also indicated that she was not aware that when paying her payment after a cancellation notice has been mailed, if the funds are not collected due to insufficient funds, the cancellation notice is reinstatedThis is what caused her policy to lapseThere were two attempts to process her payment on June 17, and both of them returned for insufficient funds
The complaint listed in your letter from Mrs*** concerning timely response from the auto damage adjuster was addressed with the adjusterThe policy holder stated she didn’t hear from the adjuster for several days after she filed the claimIn addition, she stated the adjuster did not return her voice message until a day laterThe field supervisor Willie H*** apologized to Mrs*** for the response and explained that our goal is to be available at all times during the business day and to answer the phone any time it rings (if safe utilizing hands free)However, there will be times when the adjuster cannot answer the phone and the call will go to voice mailAt GEICO, in auto damage, the goal is to return calls left on voice mail within hoursCalls made near the end of the day may be returned the following dayI assured her we have made some process (voice mail) changes in that territory that will make calls going to voice mail the exception not the rule
In regards to the repair quality concern, Mrs*** used the shop of her choice, *** *** of Union City, Ga to conduct repairsThe complaints from customer were based on door glass scratches and roof scratches noticed at repair deliveryWe have talked with Steve and Phillip at the body shop, and they both assure us that they are taking care of the production induced damages with Mrs*** directlyThis is not claim related and shop is well into handling resolutionPhillip also stated that he has explained to Mr*** that this was not something GEICO was responsible for and to please allow them to handle the issueAs of today, this seems to be resolved
We absolutely strive to make sure our communications process and customer satisfaction our top prioritiesWe have reviewed both concerns, and feel that we have addressed them satisfactorily
If Mrs*** has any unresolved concerns at a later date, we welcome the opportunity to address them expeditiously
I hope this information will assist you in resolving this issueIf additional information is required, please contact Misti S*** at ###-###-####Her office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:a.mto 4:p.mEDT

*** Policy: ***Revdex.com File Number: *** Dear Ms***: We have received your letter requesting assistance on behalf of *** ***. I welcome the opportunity to respond to her concerns. I am sorry to hear about the difficulty Ms***’ is experiencing in relation to her auto policy. Ms***' was insured with us under policy number ***, effective March 12, to November 2, 2016. While we have a record of Ms*** contacting us on November 25, 2016, we do not have any records indicating that she requested to cancel her policy at that time. Additionally, our calls are recording randomly for quality and training purposes; therefore, we do not have a recording of this particular call. Despite this, we have backdated the cancellation of her policy since our records indicate that she did contact us on November 25, 2016. On November 12, 2016, my Customer Service Manager, Donavon E***, spoke with Ms*** and apologized for any inconvenience that this matter has caused her. Per her request, MrE*** updated her policy cancellation to November 2, 2016, and her policy now reflects a $balance I hope that Ms*** will consider us for her future insurance needs and that this information is helpful in resolving her concerns.

This is in response to your email of July 6, addressed to Tony N*** of GEICOAs requested, we have not included any of the customer's personally identifying information.We understand that the customer is not a GEICO insuredShe stated that on June 14, an unauthorized withdrawal of
$was taken from her bank account and applied to an existing GEICO policyGEICO accepts payments on good faith, and we assume that the policyholder is the accountholder or has the accountholder's permission when making payments.The customer has not provided us with enough information to locate this paymentWe have attempted to reach her three times asking that she give us a call so that we can discuss what is needed in order to locate the paymentTo date, she has not returned any of our callsShe also stated in her complaint that her bank had settled the issue regarding the fundsWe trust that means they allowed her to dispute the payment and have the funds returned to her bank account.If she wishes to pursue fraud charges for misuse of her bank account, the customer will need to file a police reportThe police department will then serve us with a subpoena, at which time all information regarding the party that used her account information will be released to the police.GEICO is very concerned, and we are always quick in our attempts to resolve banking issuesIn order for us to remove the customer's bank information, we must first locate the policy where the disputed payment was appliedIn order to do so, we need at least the last four digits of her account numberOnce the payment is located, we will immediately remove the customer's banking information.We trust that this information is sufficient to allow you to close out the complaintIf you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this issue, please feel free to call my associate, Barbara C***, at ###-###-####, ext, 1271.Sincerely,Heather M***

I am rejecting this response because: I have contacted Geico in regards to the home auto insuranceI am part of the home insurance, like I initially said and they have agreed that I am part of the home insurance When I was not part of the home insurance for the first call and asked for a discount and the staff said we cannot find you in the system and hence cannot provide the discount which was ligit as I was not part of the insurance on the first callI have then became part of the home insurance after the first call initially madeQuestion to you isHow were they able to find that I am in the home insurance department and auto department agreed that I am eligible for the discount and I was awarded the discount on the second call which was made. Now all of a sudden its changeIs it right if I have cancelled the insuranceDoes it make right for removing the discount and found I am not eligible after monthsAll transaction should stop after the cancellationPlus when I got the credit I spoke to representative that I want to be sure that I owe nothing to GEICOThey assured me there is nothing that I OWE to GEICO Why has this all changedIs your staff not properly educated to give the right information.

Don R*** Regional Vice President April 6, 2017VIA PORTALRevdex.com Serving Metro Washington DC & Eastern PennsylvaniaATTN: *** ***K StNW, 10th FloorWashington DC 2005-3404RE: File Number: ***Dear *** ***,We received your correspondence dated March 31, 2017. We have not included any personal identifying information in our response, as you requested. On March 12, 2017, we learned that a vehicle belonging to our policyholder sustained damage during a collision. Initially, our policyholder desired to file a claim for damages for her vehicle with the insurance carrier for the other party involved in this loss. On March 21, 2017, our policyholder decided to file the claim through her policy. We inspected the vehicle on March 21, 2017, and deemed it a total loss. Because the damage to the vehicle was extensive, we were unable to obtain an odometer reading. We requested permission to move the vehicle to a salvage location, so we could obtain the mileage and develop an actual cash value. The vehicle arrived at the salvage location, and we were still unable to obtain an odometer reading due to the damage to the vehicle. Using recent maintenance records, we established an approximate odometer reading of 101,735. We also obtained receipts from our policyholder documenting enhancements to the vehicle and obtained a market valuation report from CCC Information Services, Incwhich established an actual cash value of $9,480, less our policyholder’s $collision deductible, for a net settlement of $8,980. On March 29, 2017, we relayed the settlement amount to our customer, who rejected our value, and noted she had been offered a higher valuation from the insurance company for the other party involved in this loss. On March 30, 2017, our policyholder contacted Jason K***, Auto Damage Supervisor, to express her dissatisfaction with our valuation and its difference from the valuation she received from the at-fault insurance company. MrK*** attempted to obtain a copy of the other company’s valuation from our customer for comparison purposes, but she was unable to provide it. MrK*** noted he would review any information our customer could provide for consideration or substantiation of a different value, and delivered a copy of our valuation to our customer via e-mail. MrK*** also informed his manager, Paul C***, of our customer’s disagreement and desire for escalation of her complaint. Approximately three hours after MrK***’s conversation, MrC*** spoke with our customer. MrC*** requested a copy of the valuation from the other insurance company so he could review the differences. On April 3, 2017, MrC*** reviewed the valuation, and contacted our customer. MrC*** explained that we had valued the vehicle using the same options, however, the other insurance company used a different source for its valuation. MrC*** explained our valuation is accurate based on the local market, and noted that our customer retained the option to file for damages with the other carrier. Our customer noted she did not wish to pursue a claim with the other carrier, since it requested a statement from the driver of our customer’s vehicle, which she did not want to provide. During the course of the conversation, our customer also noted she had retained an attorney. MrC*** advised our customer he could no longer discuss the settlement with her, since she was represented by an attorney. MrC*** requested contact information for our customer’s attorney, and promised to call him or her to discuss the vehicle’s valuation. We are awaiting the attorney’s contact information so we can attempt to reach a settlement agreement. We sincerely regret any inconvenience our customer experienced during our handling of her claim. We particularly apologize for any unprofessional behavior our customer may have encountered when working with our associates. As noted above, we believe our valuation is accurate. We are prepared to discuss any discrepancies with our customer’s attorney when she provides the relevant contact information. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Gail M***, at ###-###-####, via FAX at ###-###-####, or via e-mail at ***@geico.com.

NAIC: ***-GEICO Indemnity
Dear Ms
***:
Thank you for your recent inquiry dated June 17, I welcome the opportunity to discuss Mrs***’ automobile insurance policy concerns
I apologize for Mrs***’s unsatisfactory customer service experienceAt GEICO, we strive for an excellent customer service experience with every policyholderMrs*** was advised in her conversation with Misti S*** on June 30, that we will provide the appropriate feedback to the agent
In her conversation, Ms*** also indicated that she was not aware that when paying her payment after a cancellation notice has been mailed, if the funds are not collected due to insufficient funds, the cancellation notice is reinstatedThis is what caused her policy to lapseThere were two attempts to process her payment on June 17, and both of them returned for insufficient funds
The complaint listed in your letter from Mrs*** concerning timely response from the auto damage adjuster was addressed with the adjusterThe policy holder stated she didn’t hear from the adjuster for several days after she filed the claimIn addition, she stated the adjuster did not return her voice message until a day laterThe field supervisor Willie H*** apologized to Mrs*** for the response and explained that our goal is to be available at all times during the business day and to answer the phone any time it rings (if safe utilizing hands free)However, there will be times when the adjuster cannot answer the phone and the call will go to voice mailAt GEICO, in auto damage, the goal is to return calls left on voice mail within hoursCalls made near the end of the day may be returned the following dayI assured her we have made some process (voice mail) changes in that territory that will make calls going to voice mail the exception not the rule
In regards to the repair quality concern, Mrs*** used the shop of her choice, *** *** of Union City, Ga to conduct repairsThe complaints from customer were based on door glass scratches and roof scratches noticed at repair deliveryWe have talked with Steve and Phillip at the body shop, and they both assure us that they are taking care of the production induced damages with Mrs*** directlyThis is not claim related and shop is well into handling resolutionPhillip also stated that he has explained to Mr*** that this was not something GEICO was responsible for and to please allow them to handle the issueAs of today, this seems to be resolved
We absolutely strive to make sure our communications process and customer satisfaction our top prioritiesWe have reviewed both concerns, and feel that we have addressed them satisfactorily
If Mrs*** has any unresolved concerns at a later date, we welcome the opportunity to address them expeditiously
I hope this information will assist you in resolving this issueIf additional information is required, please contact Misti S*** at ###-###-####Her office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:a.mto 4:p.mEDT

I am rejecting this response because:
The information about parts being available for my car is untrue. I spoke to *** at *** *** today and he confirmed that the lock set is unavailable and on backorder. I need a resolution to my claim now, not next month or next year. I have been without my car since June, and no reasonable person should have to be treated so poorly
