@ the adjuster comments section, don't you think it'd be helpful to see state, city, etc., so one isn't searching nationwide? Please don't give out my email address to advertisers.

To whom it may concern: Thanks for the very valuable website. I am currently going through putting up with Allstate's bull s---! It just isn't fair what they are doing, but thanks to your website I will be able to hopefully get around going through some of this. They better not try any more than they have with myself and my attorney. The sad part is, in my case, both the party at fault and myself have Allstate insurance coverage. All I have to say is when my policy is up Allstate can go screw themselves! And anyone who asks me about them will not get a good review by me . In fact, I'll even give them this website address to prove my case. Thanks again!

Wow! I didn't know a site like this existed. Thank you for inventing a site that gives the public the other side of the story. This insurance company, Allstate has screwed me over for years and I thought it was just me! My so called agent, you know the kind that is suppost to look out for you and your needs? He lied to me straight blank! I didn't realize it till I received my policy renewal. I was suppose to get a considable discount on insuring a vehicle that I didn't drive. They called it, for pleasure only. Well, I was told first thing I had to do was record the miles driven on it for three months! It just so happened to be the same time my policy was to be revewed after this period of time. When I got my statement bill instead of going down it went up! The agent wasn't so nice to me any more. He said it was due to price increases and now after all these years of faithfully paying on time, my credit standing was not up to their standards so, I should have to pay more! I hate insurance companies! They steal from us basically! I only wish there was something we could do about this. This whole insurance crap is someones bright idea to take money from us and give us nothing in return.

no kidding allstate sucks. i had a major car accident. a guy hit me head on (he was going 50 in a 25 and i was going 20) and totaled my blazer. i called the next day to cancle the insurance on my truck. they cancled it. i couldnt work because i couldnt walk, so i had no money. a month after the wreck they tried to take 3 months worth of coverage from my checking account ($475) and left me with $200 in overdraft charges. then they refused to pay me back for the charges even after they said it was thier fault and the would pay me back. allstate is nothing but a bunch of bloodsuckers.

I've been fighting with these scumbags for three years over my medical bills that are from an accident when one of Allstate's Customers hit me while I was riding my bicycle. I wish I would have found this site three years ago. Is there any class action work being done against Allstate in Michigan? Please let me know srm30378@yahoo.com

Need a good lawyer to take on a bad faith claim against Allstate. Wife insured in accident with a drug addict. Deemed my wife's fault so they did bare minimum. Many medical bills above our coverage because it should have come out of uninsured - or fault held against the person who had no insurance.

ps... allstate seems to consistently find in favor of the person who has NO insurance. Could there be a pattern here?

I was told by my agent a leak that had not been apparent to us and was found accidentally when doing some painting, was covered/ No one knew the leak existed til found in a closet. When the adjuster arrived I was told it was not covered because it was not sudden and accidental. She admitted there was no way for us to know about this leak because it was leaking into wall from the window/ but told us "it is just not something we at Allstate cover. She had the nerve to tell us that the damage was less than 500 dollars/ even though the plumber told us it was in the thousands. And as I sit here typing I have spent 200 dollars on fans and dehumidifiers/450 dollars for tiles/ sink/ vanity/150 dollars for a window/565 dollars for labor/ have cut out two walls myself/ have pulled base boards off myself DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO FILE A GRIEVANCE WITH ALLSTATE/ LODGE A COMPLAINT, IT APPEARS HERE ACCORDING TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, ALLSTATE WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY OF THEIR INQUIRIES/ ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS???

Great Site!! I am a former adjuster, never worked for Allstate, and found professional satisfaction in treating all my claimants with respect for over 7 years with two different insurers. I always found the most effective way to settle a claim was listen, especially at the beginning of a claim. Addressing peoples claims promptly & fairly kept my desk in order and allowed me the freedom to listen and be responsive. I went to work every day knowing I would meet anywhere from one to fifteen people who have had a bad day. My goal was to make the bad day better. I never pretended to make a severe claim seem like nothing, or a small claim seem unimportant. I would recommend Allstate apply the same tactic. I usually came in lower than average when rating cost of claims compared to co-workers and other regions just by employing methods that made my job easier! I eventually left both companies for changes in structure or policy regarding my expected goals or handling of claims when I felt it may hinder my ability to make my claimants bad day better, and the hours were getting way too long. A few years back I jumped sides, now I work for a body shop. I find it absolutely unbearable to deal with Allstate's repair tactics or outside adjusters in my area and where I work we have not facilitated any Allstate repairs and refuse to let them in our shop now or even accept their check for partial payment of a repair if a valued customer still insists I repair their car. A few Agents (sales) care enough to try to help resolve the differences, but they are not making the decisions in the claims office. I never had difficulty negotiating a fair claim with a reasonable person and their choice of a reputable repair facility or contractor as an adjuster and I can not comprehend how Allstate functionally works from one day to the next creating so much opposition for itself. Attorneys are expensive, but Allstate involves them more often than not as it usually costs the claimant, not the insurer. I appreciate this sites medium for letting the average claimant know they are not the only one who this happens too. However, I think this site could assist it's visitors by revamping the structure, and make complaints and "worst adjusters" pages accesible by region. Making a clickable map of the U.S. by state(or region in large states) would allow users and Attorneys to review issues with a Class-Action eye! There is power in numbers. Policyholders did not like State Farms use of Aftermarket parts and changed it. Farmers employees did not like adverse working conditions and changed it. Insurers are regulated by state. They are regulated by both state and federal laws, but mostly state. If a particular region like Northern California is employing practices that may be in direct conflict of Department of Insurance (DOI) Regulations, case law, or Anti-Trust Law. The average Bad Faith Law Suit settlement in CA was $80,000 in 1998. I learned that from an attorney employed by one of my Insurance Employers. Why do you think they told me this? Who did they want me to protect? Most, if not all, state's definition of an adjuster is a person with the responsibility to find the best coverages applicable to a loss and to efficiently settle a claim. Efficiently. Not cheap and slow. Yes, an adjuster needs to be conscientous and save money. But he/she needs to know his/her policy, his/her state laws, and have a proficient knowledge in whas he/she is adjusting. Otherwise, the adjuster is just a glorified receptionist who will have the customer satisfaction!! This site could help bring power to an individual by making it easier to navigate and see where a law may be being broken. Just a thought!

Nice website, good idea to let the public "make a list" with complaints about the most cut throat insurance company ever. Guess after lobbying to pass laws forcing us to pay them, they become rich enough to screw us when something happens that requires payment. My brother is being screwed to the wall by them after he was hit by a drunk driver insured by allstate. Of course they will not settle on any lost wages or personal injury, only stalling tactics. I has ruined his business......

We cancelled our insurance with allstate, they should stop saying that "you are in good hands" to "if you try to settle you will get a hand job"....

THIS IS A WONDERFUL WEB SITE!!! I have asked my lawyer to give it a look see. He is fighting for me now on an accident that happened back in July 2001. ALLSUCKS is still trying to say that my car wasn't damaged in a rear end collision!! Well, Duh!! I was hit in the back from a teenage driver!!! He was going 40 at the time and did not apply any brakes!! You tell me, could your car not be damaged at that speed?? Only if it was an Army Tank!!! God Bless You at ALLSTATE SUCKS.com

Your web page is a real "hoot" as well a a great public service. I was going to create my own web page, after dealing with Allstate, and entered the domain name "Allstate Insurance Sucks" and 'bingo' up popped your's. Thanks for saving me the time, trouble and money. I have read all the complaints and a great many of them mirror my experience with this unscrupulous company and their substandard employees. Please keep up the good work!

Let me give you a different point of view - one from the wife of an Allstate adjuster. I was appalled and greatly offended by some of the comments I read on your website. One person wrote that any Allstate adjuster would not hesitate to shoot a baby in the back of the head. Let me tell you that my husband is an adjuster for Allstate and he is not only a good adjuster, but a very good husband and father. He works very, very hard and is always under a lot of stress and a very heavy workload but yet he always manages to be positive and do everything he can to help his insureds. I am a stay-at-home-mom now but I worked with my husband on many claims when he was doing catastrophe work -- never once did we ever have an insured complain about his personality/adjusting skills. Working for an insurance company, you will definitely realize there are more than one side to every story. I'm not saying that an insured is never wronged in a claim settlement, but the insurance company (or the adjuster) is not always the "bad guy" either. Property insurance's purpose is to put things back the way they were before the incident but you would not believe the number of people who expect the insurance company to upgrade everything tenfold and to leave them with a nice nestegg in the bank! Not to mention the number of people we saw trying to scam the insurance company! Do some people not realize that if the insurance companies "upgraded" everything and went above and beyond what they owe for (i.e. replacing damaged carpet in one room vs. replacing damaged carpet in the entire house; replacing hail-damaged shingles vs. replacing entire roof for asthethic purposes) that the insurance companies would all be broke and we would not be able to get any insurance on our homes then???? Some people have actually told us that we owe them a new roof because their roof is 20+ yrs. old even though no storm has caused damage to it!!! What about the responsibility we all have as homeowners to maintain our property! Insurance is for accidents, not for homeowner's neglect. This web site only addresses the negative things that insurance companies have done -- I have witnessed first hand Allstate going above and beyond the policy to help out their insureds. To lump all adjusters in the same catagory is just as bad as being racist, sexist, hypocritical, etc. You just can't do that! Granted, there are bad, rude adjusters out there just like there are bad, rude people in any profession. I just wanted to give you the point of view of someone from the other side. My husband is an exception to any of the comments anyone has said on here (and, no, he is not on the "worst adjuster" list!!!!! In fact, many of his insureds comment on how kind and considerate he is!!!! Make your comments as you please, just please watch some of the comments as they do offend the families and loved ones of the hard-working, professional adjusters!!!

Why dont you all smart people get licensed to sell insurance and start your own insurance co. Since you all have the answers to everything concerning insurance. I'm a insurance licensee and I can tell you I felt the same feelings that you all feel about insurance until I got on the other side. If you all feel that you don't need Allstate or any other insurance co that does not do business that way you want them to, SELF INSURE. Put you a big ole fat check in the bank and cover all of your own property and while your at it cover yourself for liability as well. Easy for you all to say Allstate is not this or that but I bet none of you own or operate an insurance co. And to some of you former agents should just get a life. If you don't like a company go to a new one. Become an Independent agent( like me ) and not an exclusive one and you won't have to put up with crap. I think it is unprofessional to make negative comments about your line of business. Grow up people if you knew just a few more things that "premiums and claims" you would understand where any insurance company is coming from. Just because you want you claim paid "Now!!!" does not mean that it is feasible to pay it now. Thanks to all the liars and cheaters out there who pulled some real good pranks back in the 70's everybody else now would not have these problems with claims. How many of you have filled false claims before? You have nobody but yourselves to blame. Sorry 4 ya.

This website is one of the most amazing things I have ever read. The ripped off finally have a forum to stand up to money grubbing companies like "NOTHINGSTATE" and frost their ass. And you know this frosts their ass and good. I specially like the way "Allstate Sucks" follows your cursor around wherever you put it. A maniacally clever innovation. Now could you direct me to a site that could help me with "America Worst Airlines"?

I am in training to be a public adjuster to help people get what they deserve from insurance companies. My first training claim was a house fire that the insurance companies expert told the homeowner he started the fire, even though the fire marshals report stated it was accidental.

My life was turned upside down by a dishonest claims adjuster named Timothy Hayes in Tn., a crooked cleaning service named Classic Cleaning in Tupelo, Ms and a lying cheat Allstate agent named Eddie Hood. Almost one year since our home burned, no check, no explanations...just excuses. Got an attorney named Roy Parker, Sr. Still "waiting". Wife in therapy, kids with no summer clothes, and I lost my job due to overwhelming stress and uncertainty. Put it all in "Prayer".

Great site! I'm going to add it to the links page of our web site immediately.

Consumers have been getting screwed by insurance companies for over 100 years and now finally people are doing something about. Way to go!

Unfortunately, a lot of insurance companies, banks, and brokerage companies have problems with ethics.

In fact, many of these companies are nothing more than criminal enterprises. What else do you call a company that, as a part of its business plan, has an army of lawyers who have to repeatedly defend their actions in court? They're CRIMINALS!

Hey check out our web site some time!

Thankss for this web site. I am looking for some new auto and renters insurance, and I saw an Allstate comerical on TV. So I thought I look on line and get some quotes. That's when I ran across your website.

I'm going to make sure that all of my friends and family has this URL, so that they can think twice before they consider Allstate for any Insurance.

Thanks again

Way to go!

It is about time someone tells it like it is.... The insurance companies are NOT our best friend. The insurance company adjuster does not make the final decision on handling a claim, it is like giving the fox the keys to the henhouse....

A local office of Allstate quoted me a premium; I agreed; later, Policy and HIGHER premium came in mail. They claimed "..girl hit wrong key on the keyboard.." [!!] I have been fighting with South Carolina Department of Insurance for nearly a year, trying to prove that "low-balling" in Premium Quotes may be symptomatic throughout the entire Allstate company. Would like to hear from any persons who think they've had similar experience.

____________________________ EEOC, Allstate Break Off Talks on Agents' Contracts WASHINGTON February 08 (BestWire) The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Allstate Insurance Group have ended attempts at mediating their differences over Allstate's reorganization of its agent system, leaving open the probability that the unresolved matter will end up in federal court. "We are disappointed that the EEOC has decided that conciliation efforts will likely fail," Allstate spokesman Michael Trevino said. "We do not know when they will advise us what the next step in their deliberations will be. However, it is important to stress that the complaints filed with the agency have come from a very small proportion of the Allstate agents affected."

In November 1999, Allstate announced it would reorganize its 15,000-member agency force under a single independent contractor program. As part of that move, 6,500 employee agents had the ability to enter into the same independent-contractor status as the majority. Most affected employee agents became independents with exclusive Allstate contracts, but about 300 current and former agents filed charges with the EEOC because the company required that to receive the exclusive contracts with the better severance benefits, they had to waive their right to sue.

In October, the EEOC agreed with the agents' positions and has since been engaged in conciliation discussions with the company, according to Allstate. EEOC Spokesman David Grinberg said that under law, discussions with companies are confidential, and he declined to confirm or deny any activity until and unless the EEOC takes any formal action.

Under the new system, Allstate gave agents four options. Three of them provided financial incentives and gave the newly independent agents exclusive contracts to sell Allstate products, but they required that agents agree not to sue the company. The fourth option, which did not bestow exclusive-agent status, involved a smaller severance payment, but did not require a waiver of the right to sue.

According to Trevino, the EEOC has a few courses of action available: It can file a lawsuit against Allstate, or it can issue a right-to-sue letter to the 300 agents that brought charges advising them they could pursue litigation individually. Or it could choose to do nothing. Harper said that based on his discussions with EEOC officials, he expects the agency to file its own lawsuit because it considers the case to have ramifications beyond Allstate and its former agents.

"We've got all of corporate America watching to see if Allstate can get away with this," he said. "This is the only situation in which employees were fired and then offered a redeployment plan if they signed the release. There is no precedent for what we're going through. This one will probably go to the Supreme Court before it's over."

Rod Guilmette, a spokesman for the National Association of Professional Allstate Agents said Allstate has the right "to fire agents within the laws, but the release and waiver in order for them to continue with their careers is the sticking point here. The EEOC looked at this and was disturbed at what it saw." Guilmette said the independent contractor program put agents into a difficult position in that to retain their books of business, they had to sign the waiver. "When an agent reaches success, it's due to having poured many hours and dollars into the business," he said. "It's not the same as a skilled machinist, who can go to another company at the same rate of pay or better."

Trevino saw some irony in the position of the agents and EEOC. "If this were an ordinary reorganization, and positions were eliminated, the waiver would have been considered a permissible and prudent business practice," he said. "The new wrinkle is our offering of a new relationship."

Ron Harper, an Allstate agent in Thomson, Ga., who is among the 300 to file EEOC complaints, disagreed with that assessment. "He tried to make that sound like the reorganization was a benevolent action toward us," he said. "No agent would agree with that. The fact is they did not want to lose 6,500 agents immediately. That's probably 5,000 locations they would have had to close. This was self-preservation for them. They saw it as a way to eliminate benefits on aging workers like myself."

Harper said he was disappointed that the talks had broken down, but was glad that the EEOC "saw this as a sham. "I was disappointed in being fired to begin with," he said. "When conciliation talks began, we were encouraged. The EEOC told us they had to get Allstate to comply with the law. I'm not looking for a fight, so I'm obviously displeased."

Harper also said members of Congress are looking into the question of whether Allstate's program violates the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). "What happened to agents is that the company fired them in order to take away their benefits," said Harper. "I do exactly the same job, but I don't have the benefits anymore, and we think that's illegal under Section 510 of ERISA." Harper said 93% of agents fired were over age 40, and most were planning to stay on the job until age 65.

Former agent Gene Romero, who has been unemployed since June 30, said Allstate used "intimidation and coercion" in its agent-reorganization plan. He said the company had previously reimbursed agents for office leases and Yellow Pages ads under agents' names, but said it would not unless agents signed the waiver. The Kansas City, Mo., resident said he had just come home from a two-hour-plus meeting with the EEOC, where he learned that the question of moving forward with litigation will be decided by its five-member board of commissioners. That decision may not come any time soon, however, because at least two board members will be replaced by the new Bush administration, he said.

"I would like to see the EEOC litigate to a full conclusion," he said. "This affects not only Allstate employees, but all American workers. The reorganization was to eliminate older workers and take away their benefits." He said pension plans were frozen.

But even if the EEOC does not litigate, it will issue right-to-sue letters, he said, and they would result in a class-action lawsuit. (By Ron Panko, senior associate editor, Best's Review: pankor@ambest.com) BN-NJ-02-08-2001 1114 ET #

United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Allstate Employee Agents v Allstate Insurance Company North Plaza 2775 Sanders RoadNorthbrook, IL 60062 Respondent DETERMINATION

I issue the following determination on the merits of this charge. Respondent is an employer within the meaning of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. 42 U.S.C. 2000e; et seq ("Title VII"); the Age discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 621 et seq., ("ADEA"); and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., ("ADA") All requirements for coverage have been met. Charging Party alleges that Respondent required that all employee-agents sign a waiver and release of all claims against Respondent, including all claims under Title VII, the ADEA and the ADA, in order to (1) remain as an insurance agent for Respondent, (2) receive an enhanced severance benefit upon the termination of their employment , or (3) to be able to sell their economic interest in their book of business. charging Party also alleges that employee-agents who failed to sign the release and waiver were not allowed to continue as insurance agent for Respondent. Respondent maintains that it implemented a reorganization of its business in order to convert all of its employee insurance agents to independent contractors. The reorganization was titled "Preparing for the Future Group Reorganization Program" ("The Program") Under the Program, Respondent acknowledges that in exchange for the employee-agents release and waiver of all their claims under the ADEA, the ADA, and Title VII, (as well as other claims not enforced by the Commission) the agent could elect to become an exclusive independent contractor agent status and sell the economic or other interest in their book of business, (Option 2), or elect enhanced severance pay including reimbursement for expenses after the close of the agent's office (Options 3). Respondent admits that employee agents who did not sign a release and waiver were not allowed to continue as insurance agents for Respondent and would receive Respondent's normal severance benefits. It is undisputed that employee-agents who did not sign a release and waiver which included their claim under Title VII, and ADEA and the ADA by June 1, 2000, were not allowed to continue as an insurance agent for Respondent after July 1,2000. The refusal of employee agents to release their claims under Title VII, the ADEA and the ADA constitutes protected activity under these statutes. Respondent's refusal to maintain these individuals as insurance agents constitutes unlawful retaliation under Title VII, the ADEA and the ADA and also constitutes the unlawful interference, coercion and intimidation in the exercise and enjoyment of rights granted by the ADA. Moreover, Respondent's threat to its employee-agents that they would lose their careers and livelihoods as insurance agent with Respondent if they did not release and waive their claims under Title VII, the ADEA and the ADA, constitutes the unlawful interference, coercion and intimidation in the exercise and enjoyment of rights granted by the ADA. Upon finding that there is reason to believe that a violation has occurred, the Commission attempts to eliminate the alleged unlawful practice by informal methods of conciliation. Therefore, the Commission now invites you to join with it in a just resolution of this matter. Disclosure of information obtained by the Commission during the conciliation process will be made in accordance with Section 1601.26 of the Commission's Procedural Regulations. If Respondent declines to discuss settlement or when, for any other reason, a settlement acceptable to the Office Director is not obtained, the Director will provide this information and advise of the court enforcement alternative available to aggrieved person and the Commission. A Commission representative will contact the Parties in the near future to begin conciliation. SEP 19, 2000Date Richard W. Schultz for Lynn BrunerDistrict Director

You people have no clue what Allstate employees have to deal with. Allstate is probably one of the few companies standing up against insurance fraud while all the other companies are just paying false claims. Allstate is the only one trying to keep insurance rates down by denying these claims. Being number 2 in the insurance business (only topped by State Farm), that's got to tell you something about the tactics.

To all who can do nothing but complain about Allstate, Go to another company, if you think Allstate sucks just wait in see what is store for you. As an x-agent of Allstate's I do agree with some of the "credit Issue's you all face" but all the insurance company's have gone down that same road. In most states these changes must be approved, complain to the state you live in! Further more, not all claims are valid! I do feel sorry for those who have actual claims and are getting nowhere, but think about the person on the other line sorting out 2000 fraud cases to every 1! The general public has NO CLUE what the people in this industry has to endure. GOOD LUCK people!

Hey Gary! I still love ya!!! I am up to my ears in cardboard boxes and shopping bags! :) The girls and I are FINALLY moving back into our home! It took Allstate almost a year to honor our claim when our home burned down (9-9-99), and while I am most grateful for the divine intervention of Mr. Cohen (President of Property & Casualty, Chicago).... Allstate Insurance Company STILL SUCKS!! **A word or two from the wise: REVIEW & UPDATE your home & contents yearly, and while it may be overwhelming to inventory EVERYTHING (especially if you are a collector of everything as I was) start today as you purchase new items or remodel/upgrade, and as time permits, add the rest starting with high-end items. Gary, if I ever get unpacked, organized (?)and/or settled enough to locate my "allstate file", I will be more than happy to share my wealth of resources with my fellow Texans. God bless you Gary for taking us under your wing & helping us get our lives back. Staci

I work in a body repair shop at a major car dealer (who will remain nameless) in Houston, Texas. I see Allstate (AKA Allsnake) at their very best every day. You only know half the story judging by this website. Allstate is far worse than you could ever imagine. At our shop the only bad repairs are the ones perpetuated by Allstate.

Allstate used be be a pretty good company a settling personal injury claims in California. That changed when the California Supreme Court took a way a 3rd party claimants right to sue for Bad Faith. Emboldened by this Allstate now has a computer program name "COLOSSUS" evaluate injury claims without regard for the injured person. It's not the adjusters who suck-the fact is their humanity has been taken away from them by management and COLOSSUS.

I'm actually glad I found your website. I've had my cars insured with Allstate for over 16 years, with a good driving record(a few spots here and there, nothing outrageous), and suddenly they decide to jack up their bi-annual rate up by $450 dollars. All because of a ticket I got for driving down a carpool only lane When I was the only one in the car. A non-moving violation, I might add. To top it off. the put me in their high-risk category. No other insurance company I have talked to understands why this could be, or why I was in their high risk category. All these other companies have all offered me rates $300 to $400 lower i-annually than what Allstate was charging me. Needless to say, ALLSTATE SUCKS!!!

What a bunch of cry-babies! Let me let your viewers in on a little secret: ALL insurance companies suck to a certain degree because of the nature of the business, kind of like lawyers. You could get rid of the insurance companies, but then when some slob hits your car, you'd be stuck because no one has any sense of honesty anymore. I think the ridiculous thing about this website is that every complaint I've seen is true of all insurance companies. There may not be a Geicosucks.com or Progressivesucks.com, but that may be because they don't have the same volume of customers either. It's like the most popular will invariably be the most hated as well out of sheer numbers. Also, there are screwed up adjusters at Allstate, but it is not the policy of Allstate to screw the customer, this is an individual problem, not a company problem. Here's something else, I've read complaints about Pro Shops and Adjusters denying claims or denying medical benefits. Of course Pro Shops help out Allstate, do you think insurance companies should be non-profit organizations? The guaranteed repairs are a fact that should help out anyone that has to use a Pro Shop. Besides that, it's an option - no one has to use them. As for the denying of claims - do you have a clue how much insurance fraud goes on every day? If it weren't for people goping to phony chiropractors and trying to get a bonus because they got into a car wreck, adjusters probably would be a little more trusting. And yes, I am an employee of Allstate, so I can say this with a level of confidence, but I'm also realistic enough to not be blinded by injustice as well. Your website has some very passionate people and some may even have legitimate complaints, but I can guarantee you that for every ligitimate complaint, there's five complaints by people who are trying to get something for nothing.

I have a few different views about this site, for one I do not have allstate insurance, But I do work for them. I know that not all insurance companies are wonderful, But before you judge someone or something stop and think Do you understand what you are saying??? I know people who work over 20hrs A WEEK overtime to try and make sure work is up to date insurance policys are correct and for what when raise time comes around you barley even get a raise sometimes you don't. We go through hard training test and much to your thoughts and opinions we get our work done! Some people stay w/o pay! Dedication! Sorry but not every claim is going to work out they way you want it, if it was your fault there is nothing else to say! You can not blame allstate for bad service to your car you blame the shop that worked on it, Did you check your car over before you left?? As a matter of fact, my own car was hit in the rear by a person with allstate insurance I called the claim in and in a matter of a day my car was ready to be repaired!! So really the only person you can blame is your self for not taking care of yourself!!

ALLSTATE DOES SUCK. I PAID THEM FOR COVERAGE FOR 20 YEARS. WHEN A WOMAN DROVE THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND HIT MY CAR, THEY MADE SURE I DIDN'T EVEN GET A DECENT REPAIR JOB ON MY CAR. THEY TREATED ME LIKE DIRT. I WOULD NEVER EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THAT INSURER AGAIN AND WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND FAIL. THEY ARE NOT HONEST DEALERS. THEY CHEAT. THEY HAVE THE ATTORNEYS WHO DO THEIR DIRTY BUSINESS.

YOU ARE ALL FUCKING WHORES!!!!!!ALLSTATE IS THE BEST!!!YOU ARE JUST STUPID WHORES!MOTHER FUCKING SON OF A BITCHES!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU YOUR FRIEND.

Editors Note:  Bob, I usually don't allow profanity on these pages, but....... in your case I will make an exception.  You are the type of Allstate employee that that is bringing down what was once the best insurance company in the country.  Unfortunately the GOOD, CARING Allstate employees cannot overcome the damage you and the other misfits are causing.  The worst part is it appears that your type is becoming the majority and your disdain for policyholders and claimants is apparent and your transparency is not going un-noticed.

To Latisha, This carrier denies most claims. Just read this web. and see. Look at all the Classaction Lawsuits against this carrier. They are really a piece of work. Good luck. Remember this carrier hates bad publicity more than anything else.

Dear Brenda, the best way you can get your point across to the carrier and the agent is to get another carrier. Get the other carrier and then cancel this one. Then tell them why. Just read the posting on this web. and see what happens when you have a claim with them. On the web. site for FIGHT BAD FAITH INSURANCE COMPANY'S (FBIC) it list three of the top carriers are as follows. 1) Chubb 2) Amica 3) Middlesex Mutual. Do yourself a big favor and change carriers. Then when you cancel your insurance with them tell them if they are playing games with the billing you can imagine what they would do to you if you had a claim.  If you go to FBIC see what they say about this carrier.

I posted something here a few months back about the way Allstate's sneaky way of adding to the brand new policy (commercial) for our condo 2 months after the original quote we were given. They said they had the wrong dimension for complex and yet their local agent is the one for securing that information. Anyway, since then I am not happy with the way that we are billed for this policy. Their invoices barely have the amount due and when. It does not indicate what period it is for or anything which allows them a lot of room for errors. Last month they tried to get away with billing us too much until I called agent and he fumbled with a poor excuse of "the invoice crossing with the past payment in the mail". But payment was sent out way before this ever was due. Anyway, it still does not justify that their invoice which is smaller than the size of the smallest envelope out there gives you very little information. Who do I complain to? What is their address, etc.

I am so happy to have found your website. I have been trying to find an E-Mail for Sue Boenker's Allstate Agency for a couple of days, so I could send her a very strong worded letter about the problem I have with her company and the people that I am dealing with when I do get someone on the phone who actually has a voice instead of a recorder. I will be happy to let your website know all about my issue. Thanks for being there for a consumer who needs to vent frustration. Pamela Thomsen Fort Worth, Texas

You are wonderful! Genius! I am pursuing a class action lawsuit against Allstate Insurance and the Illinois Department of Insurance (who agrees with Allstate on denying personal property claims for renters policies when the damage isn't caused by fire).

Thanks for giving me the go ahead. You are awesome! Any assistance you can provide (i.e, names of people who have been denied claims against renters insurance policies), please contact me.

Thanks!!

As former Allstate claim rep., let me tell you how things are - unrealistic "stretch goals," everything you do is monitored, reviewed, and approved. 50 hour weeks are routine, 60-70 hour weeks are common. Meet most of your goals and bust your ass, you might get a 2% raise. Workloads are staggering. "Do more with less" is the rally cry of the managers. Everything is "process compliance" and "percent above/below goal." It's like a cult -- maybe all that Scientology stuff from a few years back was true? A friend in Oregon sent me an note about a new class action in California by claim adjuster suing for overtime --BEDNAR & SEKLY VERSUS ALLSTATE-- I can guarantee you they won't be advertising that in the claims department. No name - I still do business with Allstate on a daily basis, and I know from personal experience when I worked there, they can be VERY vindictive, especially with small businesses -- their way or no way.

I love your website. I am a former claims representative (now a personal injury attorney) who for 16 years was insured with Allstate. My secretary was seriously injured in an accident in my vehicle, thus I am involved in a lawsuit with Allstate. I intend to file a bad faith action against them shortly for their failure to protect my interests and settle her case. They are the worst company in the State of Ohio. I would love to be listed in your "cool attorney" section. Please tell me how I can be listed. My address is 23240 Chagrin Blvd. Suite 180, Beachwood, Ohio 44122 (440) 378-1579 is my work telephone no. If I can provide anyone assistance with filing insurance complaints, etc. against this horrible company, ask them to e-mail me.

Hey....it's me again. I just wanted to add that after reading all these comments I see one way that many of the insured can help themselves. I have a daily event log. Every call that I place or is placed to me...I jot down the time, name of person I talked to, and what it was about. And it's not just about phone calls. You need to write down ANYTHING you feel is important and the time and date it occurred. This does give you better ground when dealing with ANYONE. MY MOTTO: IF OTHER ARE GONNA HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS...I WILL HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIRS!

Love this site. I have Allstate auto insurance and got screwed royally. I'm switching to anything else but them. My friend was screwed by allstate for homeowners insurance; never got paid a dime of the money owed them for water damage, etc. I don't mind paying for insurance, but only if I can feel I AM REALLY INSURED! I've never made a false claim in my life, in fact, I've only had to make one claim and it was denied (I was hit by an uninsured motorist). Phone calls to the adjuster and my agent were never returned. What a nightmare! So like I said, I'm switching today and why? Because ALLSTATE SUCKS!

Just wanted to let you know that I have been an Allstate employee for 5 years and over the years I have learned that you people try to get away with the cheapest rates possible because you don't want to pay for insurance in the first place! Then when something happens, you get pissed off because you do not get a million dollars handed to you.

If you buy the cheapest rates, you get the lowest policy. (DUH) If you only buy a $15,000 policy because it is the cheapest and you hit a $40,000 car and total it, guess what, you only have $15,000 worth of coverage no matter how much moaning and groaning you do, you do not have the coverage to completly pay for that claim. You are responsible for the other $25,000 worth of damages because you wanted the "cheapest policy". So don't go bitching to us and cussing us out on the phone because you were the DUMBASS, not us!!

As for you complaining about your personal items not being covered when your car is stolen. (like golfclubs, computers, clothes, cell phones, purses, wallets) Last time I checked, a car was a car, not a storage bin!! If you have that kind of items in your car, then you deserve to loose them!! How many idiots does it take to leave a purse in the car and it always seems to have all kinds of expensive jewelry and rent money in the thousands in it. PLEEEAAASE, I'll give you .35 to go call someone who cares. If you are that stupid, then maybe you should not be on the road at all.

You people need to get a life, be responsible and quit being so cheap and maybe you would have the coverage you need.

If you have a 15 year old roof, and it is damaged, it is only the insurances responsiblity to put you back where you were before the damage, not to put a whole new roof on your house. (this is called indemity people, look it up) You want insurance to give you brand new stuff for old wore out stuff and that is not going to happen.

GROW UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR YOURSELVES AND QUIT TRYING TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!

It looks like most have you are confused: it's insurance, not a free flowing cash cow. I bet few of you ever bothered to read or pay attention or ask questions about what insurance does or doesn't do. Try educating yourselves first and whine less later.
