Are you going to tell me that you have never had a situation where the customer had expectations that were higher than what you had in mind when you contracted with them to begin with? How long you been buying wood?, cuz my boys in that business complain about it constantly about customers having to high of expectations of what their land is going to look like afterwards.
You mean George Dale's office approved the wording in those contracts?? Yet another reason he should go. He's ineffective, inept, and lacks the backbone to do the job, which is, by the way, regulating insurance companies. Why do you think we need a commissioner anyway? It's because insurance companies are by nature too crooked to regulate themselves. George D. is supposed to be protecting us not the other way around. Did anybody happen to catch him on Gallo's radio show this morning?? What a joke.
I can honestly say I've never had a problem with customers not being satisfied with the job I did for 'em. But then again most of my business is repeat so they know what to expect.........but you can take one thing to the bank, if someone did come to me with a problem I wouldn't leave 'em high and dry like these ins. co.'s did. Those folks got screwed by the technicalities in the fine print, plain and simple. This hurricane blew that storm surge into those people's homes and the ins. co's are welching big time.........the flood wasn't caused by rain, it was caused by the wind and that's why they should pay.
Oh yeah, sounds like your boys need a course in communication. If they're having trouble pleasing their customers then send 'em up here to me and I'll show 'em how it's done. If people would just talk to one another instead of being in such a hurry then they wouldn't have all those problems. I thought you said they were out of business now.............figures.
Homeowners policies in every state exclude the same type of loss we are talking about, so its not like Dale just decided to screw the people of Mississippi. talk aboutthe sky falling.........remeber he is elected by the people, so to hose the people who elected him would be dumb.
By stating Insurance companies by nature are crooked, is such a generality and making broad statements like that show a lack of maturity at best and a lack of intelligence at worst.
If you have some specifics lets here them, but it better be more than, "the customers never read their policies to see what was and was not covered", or that they were not intelligent enough to understand what it said if they did. I'm not making fun of anyone who claims to not be able to understand how to read a contract, but it surely is not the insurance companies fault if they do not.
Thisis the last post I will make on this one, but you must remember, the stories that are in the news are the ones of the small percentage of people who are unhappy about their circumstances surrounding their claim. It is not news worthy to report the overwhelming majority that have been very pleased with their claims on the coast and through out Mississippi.
Tj--Go cut some wood and cancel your insurance policies and let it ride. Then you want have to worry about the fact that the insurance policy is not written on the 4th grade level.
