OR you could support your local agent network and work through an agent that is appointed by Foremost to write their product. The rates are exactly the same as you would get direct and you help to support small business owners

It could be as simple as the direct customer service agent quoted a lower limit on one of the various coverages and didn't quote the EXACT line by line coverages as we did. Or they applied a discount that we weren't aware he was eligible for because he didn't state he had a course, or other Farmers policy etc etc. We use the same system they do for rating so it would be impossible for him to get a cheaper price direct for the exact same coverages.

I had the same bull**** experience with State Farm. Multiple Generations with EVERYTHING insured through State Farm.
Those ****ers had the nerve to drop me effective July 3rd 1159PM.
I have NEVER HAD A CLAIM, ACCIDENT, or TICKET of any kind and they still dropped me in my slow ass flat bottom cig.
I am with Stacey Now and have NO reason to shop elsewhere. **** STATE FARM.

Farmers dropped my main home when the housing market crashed. I also never had a claim and used them for many years. Soo, guess what? I dropped Farmers on my second home and am now getting lower rates through another company. I will never again deal with Farmers or Progressive. That's how you handle it when an insurer mis-treats you.

+1 on Stacy for the boats.
I have been writing claims for Allstate for almost 10 years on property and flood claims, and we try to be more than fair with every claim that we get. Our customer service (phone calls etc) has improved exponentially over the years.
If there boats claims are anything like our property claims, you shouldnt have a problem getting paid, but I didnt know we insured performance boats???

talking to a bud the other night. He works for a financial compnay that deals with insurance companies and gave me a lesson. Insurance companies do not make money off your premiums or deductibles. What they do is they sell their premiums to companies like his to invest the money or pay them to invest their premiums. Which I didnt know. So maybe it comes down to some forumla where you just dont fit. You could also be high risk without having a claim.
