On January 28th, 2004, an auto accident next to our house sent a Buick into the living room of our house causing exterior and interior damage. The Auto driver was insured through Country Companies, however, my insurance aggent's secretary said that they would take care of the damages and sue the auto policy holder's insurance company, County Companies. Allstate came back with an estimate to repair my house that was only 50% of what a contractor wanted to fix it. I called Country Companies and they offered me even less!







All my wife wants is to have her house repaired. And now they say that they cannot match our original aluminum siding. I have been libving through the coldest months of the year with a hole in my living room, covered by a big black plastic garbage bag. I wrote them letters, my wife has called, but nothing has ben done. The lawyer wants to take 1/3 of the proceeds if I go to court, so I am pretty much the victim here. I am at my wit's end with these people. And then I see commercials on TV where they are trying to tell everybody how fast they take care of claims. I have NEVER had a homeowners claim in the 27 years I have owned this house! Looking fo some advice here.

#4 Author of original report

Corporate Contact Allstate

AUTHOR: Peter - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, April 23, 2004

I did have a response when I called Ed Liddy, CEO of Allstate, his phone 847-402-5000 and his fax is 847-402-0169. He makes over $67,000 a day in compenstation as the CEO of Allstate, and I asked him to refrain from taking coffee breaks for one day, which would cover the entire cost of my damages. Settles within a week!

Peter Johnson, the original victim on Carr Street.

ps. I just purchased a new home owners policy from anothe company this morning, three months after my accident. Good luck to all.

having problems with the same office

AUTHOR: Sue - (U.S.A.)

I am currently experencing problems with the exact same Allstate Office. Best to Call corporate and file complaint, and file complaint with Illinois Department of Insurance.. My experience is just take care of it on your own, claims on your insurance record are worse than a Felony Charge.....

#2 Consumer Suggestion

I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE "IN GOOD HANDS" WITH ALLSTATE???!

AUTHOR: Bradley - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, March 18, 2004

Peter, this is just another example of the insurance agencies being there for you to take your money, but then saying "wait- who are you again?" When it comes time to do their part...



Do everything you can think of to give them a bad name- this is a good start. In my "perfect world" you could sue to get back all those premiums you have paid for THE LAST 27 YEARS!!!



COMPANIES THAT ADVERTISE THE MOST, WILL RIPP YOU OFF THE QUICKEST!

The only people in town who had a problem were me and a neighbor that had Allstate.

AUTHOR: Roger - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, March 18, 2004

Welcome to the club. After a bad hail storm Allstate sent an adjuster to check the damage on our home. All of the houses around me with worn out roofs were being re-roofed by the insurance companies (not Allstate). Our roof which was only a year old had only two damaged shingles according to the adjuster. The only people in town who had a problem were me and a neighbor that had Allstate. I finnaly after much arguing got a 50% damage on the roof. I no longer have Allstate for my insurance needs.
