Car broken into. Radar detector (Escort 9500i) and Garmen GPS stollen. State Farm will not cover "devices used to detect speed measuring devices". Say WHAT? I was told "people of own radar detectors are known to speed". I asked for a link to State Farms website that has proof that this is a fact. She couldn't give me one. I then stated State Farm did not have proof, they only assumed this. She then said that was my opinion. I said, yep, how does it feel to have an opionion without fact to back it up. I think advised the CSR that I was sorry she was the one getting the chewing but I had one more question. Does State Farm sell policies to people who drive corvettes, mustangs, Dodge Chargers, etc.. She quickly said, "well yes, they are automobiles". I said, well, if you lock at the facts, reality, people who buy those cards will speed. But SF still covers these cars and the people driving them. She didn't know what to say except, "it's not the same thing sir". I beg to differ. So, my problem is simple. State Farm are biggots. They choose not to cover devices that detect police radar. Yes, I do drive fast. I've had 1 ticket in 30 years so at least I'm careful. I don't drive fast all the time but when I'm running behind. I will run with traffic. I live in the Detroit area. If you don't drive fast, you are from out of town or lost or 90 years old. SO, not only does my detector sniff out the police, it also warns me of safety vehicles. It also warns me of photo cameras. Radar from a police car is used to detect objects (cars) no matter what speed they are going. Some traffic enforcement officers hide, and shoot you (with radar) when they see you or your close enough. As a retired federal officer, I've never took to kindly to these tatics as I feel traffic enforcement should be out in clear view otherwise, your just trying to "trap" people. But around her, they leave their radar on all the time so picking them up a mile away is the norm. Laser? I run with my head lights on bright during the day so they can't get a clear shot till I'm closer. By then, my detector is barking at me. I just like to know where they are. State Farm does not agree with me about it being a safety device as much as a tool to allow me to drive 100 in a 35. So, BITE ME State Farm. I had no problem submitting my 21, 000 claim on my house for hail damage. Please raise my rates so I can jump ship to someone else. Just need a good excuse.

I was with StateFarm for 6 months, due to there NEGLIENCE of how a policy actually suppose to be handled. How do I pay a for a policy for several months to find out that I was never on MY OWN policy??? Then my vehicle is stolen, stripped, and burned and they investigate me. Investigated everything in my life to find NOTHING or any connection. But I am still forced to pay a car note and insurance for a car that is not in a SHOP, being REPAIRED or REPLACED. Sad part about it is I have been without my car since OCT 2009 and now its APR 2010. Once again can I ask what am I paying insurance for??? "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.®" that is a good slogan...(BS)...but I should have known when I found out that they are not a 24-hr business (claims only)and they have LOCAL offices that only work regular business hours and weekend information is a complete FAILURE.

We decided to sell our new car in 2009 - due to the poor economy. We had a man come from Alabama and he said he would purchase the car. He said he had sent payment - the finance company said payment was received and sent title. A few weeks later the finance company called and said they did not receive payment! <br />
After the man did not answer his phone any longer I called the police and did a Stolen Car Report. State Farm kept me hanging for a few more weeks then said they did not cover stolen cars IF the owner gave the keys to the thief!! <br />
How can this be right? Then they refer me to the info booklet and there it is - thought some of you might like to know how they will screw you!

State Farm adjuster Vanessa Ennis, it appears, attempted to coerce doctor Dr. Charles F. Nicol of International Health Consultants to change what he wrote in my medical review. He found in my favor causing them to payout as they should have. However, in his Retrospective Review to Vanessa Ennis he writes in reference to her 2nd letter to him, "I see no reason to change any of my answers."

I am still investigation this as is the Insurance Commissioner and the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs. This same adjuster mailed my medical data to a neighbor after she clearly had my address. Then her manager wrote me stating "I am concerned you are not getting your mail" when I protested what she had done. Ultimately he made her write a letter of apology.

She hid behind a service shop two miles from my home, refusing to identify herself initially to the owner. She ate candy throughout and entire deposition of nearly five hours, denied a claim after viewing the wrong car - not nearly the same color, and a host of other bad faith and bad behaviors.

Stay clear of this company. Email Ed Rust if you have a complaint. He won't respond but believe me, he will get it.
