| Eggcellent Re-Instate Smith-Mundt!  User ID: 29227711 United States12/11/2012 11:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw on another thread a few weeks back that they have also made coverage for "Named Storms" a provision in insurance policies. That is why all storms are named now. If your policy states that you are not covered for "Named Storms" then if you get damage from wind, rain, snow or tornado due to the "named storm" you are on your own. Quoting: imjustsayin You have got to be kidding me. AN ACT OF GOD and all that hoo ha Not to de-rail the thread, but isn't it ODD that the only mention of God which is allowed in this country anymore is either on our money or to save insurance companies from having to pay out? OK, back to the conversation! "I have come to the conclusion that all news should be treated like 9/11, assume it is a psyop with actors participating in a staged event complete with props, until proven otherwise, in which case assume whatever is being recorded, reported, televised, is distortions/lying by omission/outright lies, until proven otherwise." - Anonymous, 4-13-12 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1152043 Why is my policy being amended to remove earthquake coverage ? The peril of earthquake represents a potential catatrophic loss for our company and requires large amounts of additional coverage to be purched in the event an earthquake occurs. The market for this additional coverage has narrowed to the point we no longer able to purchase coverage at acceptable levels in pricing. With our current earthquake expiring on 12/31/2012 and no alternative solution, this left no option but to remove earthquake from our policy coverage. They had no problem taking my money for the last 18 years..... Do they know somethging we dont ? Yeah, my mom's insurance canceled the earthquake portion about 6 years ago. She lives in St Charles as well. |
| Eggcellent Re-Instate Smith-Mundt! User ID: 29227711 United States12/11/2012 12:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in the Midwest and have both flood and earthquake insurance. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17892097 My provider has yet to send a notice like this. Check your premium notice. I just got my homeowners' insurance bill, and it's gone up by $100 without any explanation. The past several years it's averaged around $600/year, so I budgeted about $50 bucks a month to pay it (on my fixed income). Imagine my surprise to open up the bill to find that it was just over $700!! Ouch!! This is after my property has been de-valued because of the home mortgage bubble. And I'm sure that if there is any sort of major quake that the cancellation notice will soon follow, despite the fact that we've paid THEM faithfully for 28 years with no claims.

I'm about 350 miles North Of New Madrid. We had two EQ's that were felt here in the last 5 years and one shook my house enough to put cracks in the walls and knock a few door jams out of plumb.

But, the fact that it is on the 31st, the end of the fiscal year, it could be just a quarterly change. Like you guys already said tho, other companies usually back it up so who knows?! I mean on a realistic note tho.... Just like in the movie "seeking a friend for the end of the world", he is an insurance salesman and it makes him sick because it's useless, ITS THE END OF THE WORLD MONEY WONT MATTER WHY ARE THEY EVEN MAKING CHANGES!! If anything I say it's a good thing because there will be life left to rebuild the structures without insurance help!! DREWFMX |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 6190644  Canada12/11/2012 01:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation |  When insurance companies feel that an element of their policy presents extreme risk they go to what are known as re-insurers. Those are specific companies that provide them with backup insurance to save them harmless in case their is an event of that type. What they are saying here is that there seems to be a real lack of anybody who wishes to provide such backup at all but huge rates which they will not pay. Thus, they take themselves out of insuring against that hazzard. Warren Buffet's "Berkshire Hathaway" is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) re-insurer in the U.S. Take a gard look at Berkshire Hathaway. Not just Buffet but the top ten Investors. look at them. Look at the COMPANIES. They are the They. They control. Look. |
| shadasonic User ID: 15732022 United States12/11/2012 01:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.seattlepi.com] Allstate and possibly many other companies to drop earthquake insurance “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

Also, if you go to refinance your home, and can not get insurance, will the financing fall through? Can the banks call in your morgage for not having insurance, that you promised to carry when you signed your note? Even though you can't get the insurance now? EVIL and GREED at it's best! |

But anyways. Remember when the EQ hit and it cracked the Washington Monument? It got me thinking about having EQ insurance coverage just in case. (I had several insurance claims that year because of downed trees due to severe storms in east TN) So thinking it would be super cheap (East TN used to be virtually disaster free), I call my insurance company. Well guess what? They no longer cover EQ in that area.............. Now think long and hard about that. I now live on a Volcanic Island and I can get cheap insurance for EQ's, but they will not offer EQ insurance in East TN and other areas because they will LOOSE MONEY?!?!?!?! Folks me thinks the insurance companies have been briefed! |
| grimmlord User ID: 896867 United States12/11/2012 02:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I worked in the insurance world for 6 years (Underwritting). Typically they never remove coverages unless a particular peril has become a major problem for them. So its usually after a problem...not before. Quoting: Wash I'd say they are thinking ahead, so where did they get the idea that there will be EQ troubles? In Atlanta in recent weeks the city has closed down a large indoor public pool at MLK center because of threats to it's structure in the event of "an earthquake" or "80 mph wind gusts". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24522527 I thought that was might odd. connect the dots : BLACK SWAN impact with the earth's crust will cause a megaquake shockwave, heating the magma (volcanoes) and causing massive quakes on existing faults EVERYWHERE . the only positive thing out of all these insurer moves on riders and clauses is that they are apparently optimistic that there will be a lot of insured survivors (that they won't be paying out to) and that the financial system will be functioning after the impact event ... register an account first and then chat with grimmlord on spam.com/spam tard |
