I was involved in an accident with a client of state farm. It was just a minor fender bender, but they went after me to pay the bill and treated me like I was a drunk driver, purposely driving careless, a criminal, or killed someone. None of which was true.
I was in some bad financial problems, and lost my job, and told state farm I'd pay the bill when they could. I was so scared and worried about it, but state farm and the agent, sw-collins, didn't listen. Still knowing the above, they just harassed and threatened me to pay my bill, and said that they'd take my license away if I didn't, like I was a drunk driver, killed someone, or was a criminal.
They put me under such emotional distress. I told them over and over I'd pay the bill when I could, but they didn't listen.
State farm scared and threatened me saying they were going to sue me or take my license away. That wasn't going to help me pay the bill any faster, and I was scared enough about getting it paid without that, and I was trying everything I could to pay it. Finally it was, like I promised to pay it all the time.
I think it is really terrible state farm can do that to people and get away with it. That should not be allowed. They don't understand that some things happen beyond a person's control, like losing a job, bad luck, or other situations that can't be helped. Companies should have to go through the same thing, be scared, homeless, out of work, have no money coming in, and be sick to their stomach and see how they like it.
