State Farm auto policyholders: YOU ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF! I had a continuously running auto insurance policy with State Farm for THIRTY THREE YEARS. Only two damage claims put in during that run (no injuries, or damage to somebody else's property or person). A couple of years ago, they started raising the rates every six months for the same coverages. Recently, after yet another rate increase, I called my agent (it always takes THREE FREAKING DAYS OR MORE to reach my agent at a service center out of town), and asked why the rates keep going up and up, while OTHER COMPANIES are LOWERING their rates! Well, she didn't know, and told me she doesn't know who sets the rates at State Farm or why the increases. I convinced her to call SOMEBODY in the company for an answer, and she said she would e-mail the "Underwriting Department" and try to get an answer...give her a few days. What do you think? After TWO WEEKS, I called the service center, my agent was not available (as ususal), I left a message to call me back, and after another week of waiting: NOBODY CALLED. Here's the beauty part: I started to get price quotes from the other major Insurance Companies, and MOST of them had lower prices for the same coverage (I have a clean record). Dig this: I signed up with GEICO, who gave me MORE COVERAGE, FOR A FULL 30% LESS!!! Their service can't be worse than State Farm, (two weeks before an adjuster looked at my car years ago on a claim). I signed up, and called the damn service center (AGAIN, my agent wasn't there), and I cancelled the policy. A couple of days ago, I get a form letter from my "former State Farm agent" asking me to call her to GET A PRICE QUOTE ON AUTO INSURANCE (with all kinds of discounts, etc.) Do you believe them? DROP DEAD STATE FARM, YOU DON'T DESERVE GOOD CUSTOMERS!

I am and my brother (we live in same address) are policy holders of this car insurance company (2 cars and home), I am working, my brother got laid off because of the current situation the company closed.
I have complaint about this car Insurance because they increased our payment by $10.00 for eache without any previous notice or any evidances, when I called askiny why this happened, they said the rate increased for every one because of the accident rates in the area.

this always been happened with almost all car Insurances, is this right?
I think this is robbery, if these companies can't handle their problems, then I think they better close their business instead of stealing all people. when they sign any policy with any customer they promise to give compansation for any accident or they mean to steal others and to compansate whoever did a an accident.
I will not accept this as a Canadian Citizen

I want to ask:
1. am I responsible for others who making accedent? why should they increase my rate to give to other, in this recession circumstances we meight lose our job at any minute, especially now we have one incom the government should support citizen against these compoanies.

2. are these car insurance companies authorized to play with their customer's payment as they want whenever thay want?

3. has the goverment any controll on these copanies ?

4. why should they increase my payment without any notice or any reason, I didn't made any change, I didn't do any accident?
