I was side swiped by one of this companies insured yesterday morning on my drivers side while coming down a one lane road-approximately at ************************************************************. The driver of the other vehicle was apparently coming out of a parking lot at approximately ******************************* As I was starting to take off her car came from my left side out of no where, swiping my drivers side bumper and damaging the right side of her rear passenger door and tire bumber. We immediately pulled over to ***** the situation at approximately ******************************* She explained that she was under the impression that the car behind me was giving her the signal to go and she somehow ended up speeding in front of me, swiping my car in the process. Because more damage was done to her vehicle this company is telling me that I hit this lady on MY drivers side on a 2-way-1-lane each direction as cars were headed her way north and only one lane of traffic on the side of the road she was turning to!!! When talking to the representative *************************, she was extremely condescending and not taking into account what actually happened at all. I am a black woman hit by a white woman who obviously cried wolf too another white woman. I have heard several instances of racism with this company who does not even insure black people!!! There are police cameras at the corner near where this happened that I will have pulled off necessary!!! I will not be discriminated against in this way!! If I hit that woman, I'd have no problem admitting that and certainly wouldn't be filing this complaint. All I want is to be paid for the damage that their insured did to my car!!! And to not be treated like c*** by their adjusters over something that was NOT my fault!!!!!Review from Jeremy G

If I could leave less then a star I would. I was hit while on vacation and its been 2 months still no where because my own insurance has to be used which is farmers even though it was other persons fault. Michigan law is insane but has nothing to do with the fact that my insurance is trying to steer me to use a mos insurance owned body shop because they get a discount on labor rates and trying to claim to me that regional labor rates are ***** an hour lol this is such a joke. They want me to pay 1900 of the 5600 estimate and they are getting the full amount back from the person who hit me but I will not get my money back. The adjuster refuses for anyone to talk to her boss or manager has been nasty to body shop manager and myself if we can speak to her. We will call and she will email while the phone rings do not use this company was also informed they are having the biggest rate jump nationwide this year.Review from Cher S

They are very uncooperative during the process of my claim. They are not responsive and not willing to pay for damages and repairs . Gave me a lot of stress and left me hanging which ended up me paying for my supposedly claim!Review from CANDY K

If I could do no stars I would. I used them for my Workers comp insurance for years. Price checked them and found out they were double the cost, so I switched. When I did, they decided to "audit" and charged another $1100.00. Be forewarned, they are not trustworthy to say the least. I never filed a claim, ever.Review from Peter T

On Dec 17 I made my boat insurance payment twice because the confirmation come back slowly.On Dec 18 I spoke with a Foremost employee and the second payment was returned to my checking account.A few days later I received a letter telling me I needed to make my payment.In a few more days I received a notice that my account had been cancelled for nonpayment of premium.I called the Foremost Insurance ** and spoke with a lady that looked at my account and saw that they had my payment. She told me she could fix things.A few days later I received a letter telling me I needed to make my payment.I contacted my insurance agent and asked him to tell Foremost to give back my money.I received a check for my insurance payment that they had, I deposited the check and then Foremost put a stop payment on the check. They also sent me another bill for ***** When I contacted Foremost 3 employees told me it costed ****** to cancel my account and get my money back, even though they had my money and kept telling me to pay them. The last one ignored the fact that 'they had had my money, told me to pay them, closed my account, found my money, reopened my account and then began to tell me to make my payment again'. She also told me she would hang up on me if I didn't listen to her. When I asked to speak to her supervisor she told me that it wouldn't be until a later day.I then received a second refund check with ****** dollars kept by Foremost because I was closing my account early.The fact that they had my money, told me to make my payment as they sat on my money, and then closed my account while they still had my money didn't matter. I still owed them ****** for closing my account to stop all the business errors they were making.I have the paperwork involved in all of this, if needed.Farmers Insurance Response

I missed an insurance payment my first year paying my required fr-44 car insurance for my DUI conviction. I was previously informed that if i miss a payment that my 3 years starts over. So i thought i had to start over. I paid my 3 year minimum fr-44 car insurance from the date I missed the payment and called to confirm I was finished and no longer required to pay. The representative told me I over paid 6 months and I was owed a refund of the 6 months. Once I called back on July 7th ************************************************************************************ That's totally not fair because they don't let you know when you are no longer required to pay and also I was given incorrect information.Review from Joshua D

My wife got into a car accident and farmers is making it literally impossible for her to receive her lost wages. Our policy covers ****** dollars in medical costs and lost wages per person and farmers is doing everything in their power to not uphold the policy. I sincerely do not recommend this insurance whatsoever, because who wants to go through more hardships after an accident. Its been a month and a week and we havent received a dime whatever you freaking do avoid this insurance company. Better off with state farm or geico. If farmers refuses to uphold its policy I will be forced to change insurance providers.Review from Kamal I

The service was absolutely terrible. The man handling our claim, *****************************, answered the phone twice out of the 5 days we tried contacting him. His phone was seemingly off, due to the fact that it always went straight to voicemail. I waited for a week after he had told us my cars final approval would be finished on Friday, in which it wasnt. He then told me it would be done Monday, so I waited all weekend, in which it still wasnt approved for me to pick up. He called today and said the approval was submitted, but the body shop has nothing from the company. They once again gave me another date to wait for, but Im no longer believing anything he says until ** sitting in my car and driving home in it. Not to mention, it took 9 days to even approve the shop to work on my car in which the body shop could not contact him during those 9 days. Farmers gave me absolutely terrible service and we WILL be switching to a different insurance company. I wouldnt even pay these people in a firm handshake for their services. Would give negative stars if I could.Farmers Insurance Response

If you actually use the insurance you pay for from them and make a claim a few years at a time they will cancel your policy.Farmers Insurance Response

A review of your auto policy found that the losses prompted the policy to be reviewed by our underwriters. Regrettably, this was determined to be considered a substantial increase in hazard for the policy and no longer eligible in Farmers. I apologize for any inconvenience this has created for you.
