Anybody else have stupid problems with their insurance companies?

Well My insurance company is a bunch of idiots when it comes to clerical. It's State farm and nobody has been able to come withing a $100 every 6 months to the prices I am getting on the fleet and house. Don't want to change but ticked off at their stuipd junk.

In GA they (DMV) went full electronic for insurance verification for residents. When this kicked in there was a verification run between the state records and insurance records on the VIN to confirm that it was correct. I got 2 letters saying there was problems at that time. Seems my agents office help is all dysflexic, write illegably and deaf. Everything checked out with the state records on both the registration and the Tittles at that time.
On the 79 K5 they turned a "S" into a 5 and transposed two digits. It took four times to fix that problem.
On my Supra they again got digits transposed. 3 times on that one.

Now that was a year ago. Yesterday they called me to tell me the VIN they have on record cannot possibly be correct for my 75Jimmy. Vins do not start with "T" and there is not enough digits is what the office wench is telling me. So I verify the Vin is correct on the truck at both the door frame and glovebox sticker for what they have and it matches both Tittle and registration and it does. TKY185FXXXXXX is the Vin I ran it through a couple online converters and all agree 1975 GMC 1/2 ton 3504bbl built in Flint MI.

Freaking idiots! want me to get them a photo copy of the registration now to verify their faulty computers are wrong. I'm about to park the damn thing in their lobby and let them read the vin themselves.


Ohh yeah I did a review on my coverages. I have been with the same insurance and my main policy has been with them since the 80's. Well I only had $25k in property damage (what insurance would pay out if I totaled somebodies car and expect me to pay above that). Like you can buy anything but a hundi for under $25k these days. Bumped that up to $50k. Its about $5 every 6 months on each vehicle. Might wanna call your agents if you have old policies and make sure they refelce current values.
