1 /5 Eric Larson: Do not use this place. I called for a homeowners’ quote and asked them to send me the policy declaration to review and see if things looked correct. I never received any documents. The next week, my mortgage company reached out and informed me that this place had requested a payment, changed my insurance, and canceled my current policy.
I spent four hours on the phone trying to deal with this. When I finally got someone on the phone at this agency, they just wanted to sell, sell, sell and referred back to the agent who did not send the quote. When they sent me to her, all I got was voicemail. The one time she did pick up, she told me she could not help me and hung up.
I got nothing—no documents, no payment authorization, no DocuSign, nothing. It appears to be pure fraud and a scam to get commissions.
Trying to call Allstate directly is impossible. You get stuck in one of the worst automated call systems anywhere, and no one will talk to you. The entire experience is a joke and likely a scam. What use is insurance if all they do is take your money and you can’t deal with anyone?
I finally had to get my mortgage company to get someone from Allstate corporate on a three-way call to get this resolved. It took many hours of my time, and no one deserves to be treated like that.
Avoid at all costs. Unethical is putting it kindly.
