State Farm recently informed me that they are not renewing my auto policies due to the fact that I have had more than 1 claim within the first 3 years of being their customer. "Like a good neighbor"?

How about "like a fair-weather friend". Over a year ago I was hit in the rear while stopped at a traffic light...the other driver was found to be 100% at fault. I went to the E.R. to get checked out for my back pain (as a precaution) and submitted my claim with State Farm's PIP department (Personal Injury Protection).

Then 2 months ago I had an unfortunate situation on the road that caused me to lay down my motorcycle. I did not hit or hurt anyone but I had injuries that were treated in the E.R. and the motorcycle was totaled. Yes, this motorcycle accident was my fault.

It was an ACCIDENT. My first at fault accident EVER! State Farm does not cover personal injuries on motorcyclists in NJ so they were only responsible for the loss on the actual motorcycle. But since I have been insured with State Farm for less than 3 years they are holding the previous 2011 PIP claim against me along with 2012 total loss on my motorcycle.

It's very typical actually. Insurance companies have no problem taking your money every month/year. But God forbid they have to do their job...what you're paying them for...and suddenly they want to drop you. They don't bother taking into consideration that you're a loyal customer that has always paid in full and on time every single month.

They don't care that you also have home owners insurance and a life insurance policy with them. They don't care that you're a good driver with a clean record for years. They don't care about anything except money....EASY MONEY! They don't want to have to work to get your money.

They want monthly payments and no paperwork. Neighbors are there for you through the tough times. Fair weather friends bail out at the first sign of trouble. So thank you State Farm for being a fair weather friend.

You could care less about the people you insure. You don't know them and you don't want to know them. It's nice to see you set yourselves apart from all the other insurance giants out there. If you work for State Farm, you should be ashamed of yourself.

How can you sleep at night knowing you punish hard working individuals for not being perfect?

NO ONE is perfect! That's why we have insurance.

15 yrs of paying home premiums & 3 claims one of which I paid out of pocket so they didnโ€™t even pay for & the dropped me. They still owe me money & wonโ€™t return my calls.

Guest

State Farm wants to make money I get that. But a customer for 35 years and they dropped me with my Home owners Insurance because I went through a hail storm in 2019, another in 2020 and a Freak Wind storm in 2020 in which the whole city was devastated losing 60% of our tree canopy.

I have been with them since I was a kid with auto and I am 61.

Never will I recommend this greedy company that likes to hurt people in the middle of their devastation. The company is filled with people that are not even real State Farm employees also and do a terrible job at adjusting.

State farm dropped me after I've been their customer for 15 years because I made 3 claims between 2014 and 2018. One claim they counted twice because I called and so did my roofing contractor.

They dropped my homeowner's insurance but not my full coverage car insurance that I've never made any claims on.

Can you guess how likely it is that I'm renewing that? It's a joke and they are losing another good, long time customer.

Guest

We just got dropped, and it states that I had an accident on 8/16 & 6/18...2 freaking years apart...and we have had state farm for about 10 years now...so pissed!

Guest

Oh my god! Iโ€™m glad to know Iโ€™m not alone.

State Farm is dropping me for having 3 reported accidents (ALL of which were not my fault), within the last SEVEN years. This is all making sense. They want easy money. These guys are real jerks and even hiked up MY insurance when again, I was not at fault in any of these cases.

Iโ€™m going to talk to my lawyer on Monday. I hope I can really sock it to these people for what theyโ€™re doing to me and my family.

Boy, did they upset the wrong person. IM COMING FOR YOU STATEFARM

I agree 100%. They are doing the same thing to me right now.

After 9 years of being a loyal customer, who pays on time, I'm being dropped. I hope someone sues the pants off this company one day.

Guest

Yep, just got a rejection letter from State Farm dropping us ... Geico is so much better especially to military.

Guest

State Farm is planning on dropping me because my daugher has had accidents, one of which state farm paid nothing (not her fault and other ins co paid). State Farm advised me to have her get separate insurance.

She got her own separate polic with Progressive. Now they say she needs to move out. Because she lives in my house I will be cancelled. Are they *** kidding me.

I have heard nothing good about State Farm lately. They want the money but absolutely NO RISK! I have home owners with them too and no accidents or tickets from any of the remaining drivers on my policy.

PLEASE CANCEL ALL POLICIES WITH THEM. We need more insurance regulations and monitoring!111

The same thing happened to me today from State Farm seems like they only care about money. If my 17yr daughter moves then they will consider appeal screw State Farm. I got better quote from all state

Guest

Same situation, 20 years with State Farm, five vehicles insured and house. Two no fault claims in

Guest

Same situation with State Farm. My grandmother, aunt, and I are insured through the same office and we have been for years.

My grandmother also has homeowners insurance bundled in with them. None of us have ever missed a payment, I know that mine is automatically deducted. Anyway, I got into 2 bad accidents back to back, one was not considered at fault, and one was, even though I was the 3rd card in a 4 car accident, go figure.

Anyway, they told me I'm being dropped. I've never gotten a traffic violation, or even been pulled over in my 20+ years on the road, but like a good neighbor, State Farm Doesn't Care.

Guest

I 100 percent agree. State Farm Sucks with capital S.

They are doing the same thing to us.

They have been collecting dues from us for last 20 years and now they dont want to reniew....because we have few accidents.

Stste Farm is a bad neighbor !

Guest

Yeah I've been with State Farm about 2 years and they told me today they are dropping my insurance! 3 days before my insurance was to be renewed!

Also I just bought a 2015 Dodge Challenger 2 months back! Didn't see this coming! I had a windshield claim from a rock damage from dump truck! Also vandalism to my car!

I live in apt! I did claim on that!

Now I'm dropped! Yeah they don't care I'm 50 never have had a wreck and a perfect driving record

Same. Just a got a call saying Iโ€™m being dropped for to many claims.

2 accidents not my fault and 1 my fault that they didnโ€™t have to pay for at all, just a little bumper thumper with no damage to the other drive and no damage to mine that required getting fixed.

Iโ€™ve been with them for 7 years. If they were going to drop me for the number of accidents why would they have not known that at the third accident that happened 7 months ago SCREW STATEFARM!

Insurance Basics and Insurance 101 (You're the same person) You are a State Farm shill- probably own a franchise. Your pat answers are infuriating- you ball washer!

Guest

Well! What you got to remember is that all insurance companies esp., State Farm are legalized scammers.

Been with State Farm since 1982, for Auto, Home, and Life. They never have bat an eye to Cash your premiums but very quick to send you letters of intent to drop you if you don't struggle to get the payment in on time. The economy is getting worse and they are constantly raising their rates but when you reach out for them and when you want to make a claim they (esp. your agent wants you to do all the leg work and they want you to do all your calling and follow ups, you gotta constantly follow up on your own claims.) start telling you if you make too many claims you could be dropped.

Instead they need to start saying...... and this needs to be their new slogan........ "Make your first claim, WE are not their for you, YOU are being dropped and we thank you for letting us scam you all those years and clean your accounts out". I've had bad neighbor's in all the years that I've had my house and so have you State Farm since 1982 and I've made religious premium payments to you for that house all these years and I believe you are worse than some of the neighbor's that I have had.

Then again your slogan may fit you......... I do know of neighbors in the hood that have been thieves like.....

like.....

you State Farm!
