Car Loan
Wed Jul 6 2005 11:29 MDT #So yesterday I woke with a start, realizing that we'd paid again last month for our car insurance, and hence were covered for another 6 months. Good, except that about 1/2 the time my credit union claims it was not notified that the policy had been renewed, [100% of the time when I make a policy change]. It matters not if I have notification explicitly faxed to them, nor which insurance company I'm using as both Progressive and Gieco have the same track record.
When they claim not have been notified of a change, they assume that I just cancelled my insurance, and slap me with a 2000$ charge. And then I get to call them, then their insurance clearinghouse who will not talk to you other than to provide a number for your insurance company to call (which is not the number you called). At which point my insurance company can call them, then fax them the info. And I can wait 2 weeks for the credit union update my account.
I hate this, I hate that it takes 1/2 day out of my life at least once a year, sometimes more often than that. So yesterday sent off the large payment required to pay off the car loan. And hopefully within a month I will never ever have to deal with them again.
