Verified Reviewer |I called Friday about making payment...
- - Family added to plan, price up to 329.00/month.
- - Policy went to 115 this month (was 186); 125 thereafter; supervisor call requested.
I called Friday about making payment today for 115.00 because your company messed my plan up and put everyone in my family on my plan. I was supposed to be the only person, which raised my price to 329.00 a month.
That's a breach of contract. I already had this worked out where I was paying today, but not 300. I don’t owe that; my policy was 186, then they dropped it to 115 this month. The after is 125 a month.
I need a supervisor to call me immediately because I planned on paying today when my disability check hit.
I'll call back if a supervisor doesn't reach out because your agent fraudulently added all members of my family to my policy. That's fraudulent and a breach of contract, and I have witnesses that listened to the call.
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Make sure u check ur policy

Verified ReviewerI feel like I I was dealt very harshly by the companies as well as the representatives of the company.
- - Dialed 1-800-SAFE-AUTO; Direct Auto answered.
- - I got a quote and bought the policy.
- - Fees appeared: $24 late fee; $39 app fee.
So a couple of months ago, I made a phone call thinking I was calling Sato by dialing the 1-800-SAFE-AUTO number. The voice on the other end answered Direct Auto.
We had a small conversation about that, which was fine. I told her I was interested in getting insurance. She gave me a quote, and I decided to do it. However, the next month, I was late, and there was a $24 late fee, which is understandable.
The late fee fell on the next month's bill, which I paid two days earlier than the due date. But they counted me late because I paid with a debit card instead of the ACH. When they tried to do it on the third, it didn't go through, and they counted that as being late. When I called them, they explained it, and wait, I did not understand.
Next thing I knew, there was a $39 late fee on my app when I opened it. When I called about that, they were rude. Then I happened to look at the app, and they said that I had ordered a tow truck and stuff, which I didn't because I was home all that day. The next thing I know, I looked again a couple of days later, and they said, 'Sorry to see you go, but you haven't paid that late fee yet.' Not only that, when I paid it on the third, I paid it because I was trying to get my amount pushed back as far as I could because I'm on a fixed income since I'm retired, and it doesn't fall into my bank account until the third Wednesday of each month.
But because I'm on Charlie, I get it five days early, and I want to see how close to that date I can get it. The customer representative said, 'If you pay the bill, I can push it for you.' So I paid the bill while he was on the phone, and then he said he could not do it after that.
- I just feel like i was lied lied to by the customer service representatives
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: I would recommend that nobody uses this insurance company

Other licensed drivers in the same household (and their driving records) will affect the premium cost. Some insurance companies will underwrite a policy for only the one driver, but you need to let them know the names and driver IDs prior to them quoting/initiating a policy.
