[net.consumers] Wanted: Information on Farmer's Insurance.

tomb@tekecs.UUCP (04/09/84)

This weekend an insurance agent called me and offered, what else,
to save me money on my insurance if I switched to his Co. 

		FARMER'S INSURANCE

I told him not until I had some unbiased information on how well
they stepped up to any claims.

Does anyone out there have any experience with Farmer's claim
service, good or bad?

Reply by mail and I'll post a summary to the net. Thanks!!!

     I have a neighbor accross the street from me who works for
Farmer's Insurace in the claims office.  He was just forced to sell his house
because Farmer's Insurance is moving its claim office out of the Chicago
area (Aurora) to Springfield, Illinois.  The company seems to believe that
it cannot justify its existence in the Chicagoland area because most of their
clients reside south of Springfield, Illinois.  I have no information on
how it handles claims.  If this move is any indication of where you might
have to go in case you have a problem with a claim, I would take note of
this.
