      08/23/21 I got rear ended by another driver at a red light. I filed a claim with Pearl holding group the same day. The other driver had insurance (Geico) and because there were three other cars involved I had to go through my insurance 09/16/21, was when I was informed by my lawyer(Fasig Brooks). My car has been sitting at DJ's Collison on Mcduff for a month. The first Esitmate/Supplment was sent on 09/08/21 and was approved by "Pearl" and the collision place sent a second one and it was confirmed received and now they are saying they have not received it and the adjuster not even the supervisor will call me back from Pearl holding group it's been almost two weeks. Every time I call to get somebody on the phone, they are very rude and unprofessional. It takes 20 mins to get a Claims person on the phone and it be the same person. I am a student and work just like them, I have been inconvenienced by this company and I've been with them for 4 years. I want my Car fixed!

We also provided her a Direction to Pay to complete and return to us so that we could pay her shop of choice directly. Prior to settling this claim, we required a copy of the insured's statement, which was mailed to Ms. ******** on 08/25/21, and/or a police report, which we received both on 09/14/21. We needed to receive the insured's statement and/or the long form police report to verify coverage. Ms. ******** was provided a copy of the estimate with a complete breakdown of all charges for parts, labor and materials. Our estimate is an accurate depiction of damages and appropriate repairs as can be identified, prior to tear down. We explained to her our supplement procedures and encouraged her to take her vehicle to the shop of her choice and present a copy of our estimate, and we would deal with the shop on any necessary, additional damage that is related to this loss found upon tear down of the vehicle. We advised her that, if supplemental damage was found, the shop should fax or email us a supplement for our review. Upon receipt, we would determine if a re-inspection of the vehicle is necessary. We received a supplement on 10/01/21, and we immediately assigned an independent, outside appraiser to re-inspect the vehicle. We advised Ms. ******** that we pay to repair or replace all damage to her vehicle related to the loss with like, kind and quality parts, which includes the reasonable and customary labor cost associated with the repair and/or replacement of same. Under the terms and conditions of her policy with Ocean Harbor, we can replace damaged parts with like, kind and quality, if available. O.E.M. parts are not called for under the policy when like, kind and quality are available. This can be found under "Limit of Liability" in Part IV - Coverage for Damage to "Your Covered Auto". If she chooses to have her vehicle repaired using OEM parts, she may do so and pay the difference. The labor rates shown in our estimate are the usual and customary charged in her area for the repairs needed to her vehicle. If her shop of choice refuses to accept these labor rates, she can select another shop that will adhere to these rates, or she may have the vehicle repaired at the shop of her choice and pay the difference. Respectfully, *** ***** Claims Manager (XXX) XXX-XXXX ext: 170 Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2021/10/05) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)

      I filled a claim with pearl holding group do to weather damages to my truck with water damage. A week ago and no one has reached out or answer any calls in the claim department. Only one adjuster which I'm not assigned to have responded but clearly not getting the message out. Now here my dealership allowed me to be in this loaner until an adjuster comes out but still no adjuster now I'm about to be without the knowing what's next, with my truck just sitting.

We assigned an outside, independent appraiser to inspect the vehicle on 09/10/21. The appraiser is scheduled to inspect the vehicle on 09/15/21. We sent a Flood Questionnaire and a Loss Questionnaire to our insured on 09/08/21. Neither of these forms have been completed and returned to us.

Once it is approved, we will attempt to settle this claim. Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2021/09/17) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) The whole big issue is I'm not being advised any of this unless I call for a status I have not had one phone called that I have requested numerous of times. Nor have my assigned adjuster reached out. You guys have completely ignored me this whole process which is unacceptable when I'm a good paying customer in auto pay!

Ms. *******'s policy does not cover corrosion and wear and tear to her vehicle. It was determined that the water damage was a result of a clogged and/or a damaged sunroof drain, which is due to lack of maintenance and/or drain tube failure, which allowed water to run down the ''A'' or LT windshield pillar over a long period of time. Under Part IV of the policy - Coverage For Damage to "Your Covered Auto" - Exclusion C, damage to Ms. *******'s auto due and confined to wear and tear is not covered.

This is BS I have been trying to contact for an appeal because the dealership told me to call you guys back due to the facts are not true this was not the correct reason do to lack of maintenance and that this was cause by all of the bad weather that clogged. Scott at Lexus of Tampa bay advise me to contact them because it should be covered because he has two other vehicles there at the service department which was covered by two different insurance companies that totaled the cars with no problem. The weather caused the clogged up that corroded the wiring after it leaked in. If the was a over the time thing I would have had electric problems which I never had prior to the storms that came through the tampa Bay Area. My car was well maintenance by Lexus of Tampa bay anytime an issue was with my truck. Now here it is this faulty insurance company saying lack of maintenance in where at any service area that maintenance is required to a sunroof unless it's broken or leaks in the car which I never had any leaking in my truck in the area where you are seated. No one has contact me or the dealership back for my appeal to this denied claim these people are full of **** and is unfair I paid to this company for years with nothing reported and I had a totaled vehicle with no compensation. I'm still waiting on someone to call so sad that they are treating paying customers this way.

The reason it may have appeared to Ms. ******* that it was caused by the heavy rain she experienced is because the drain, which again was clogged or not functioning properly was overrun by the amount of water that was being passed ******* it. The drain, which was already corroded at the time of the rainy weather, became overwhelmed by the heavy rain, which Ms. ******* is referencing, and spontaneously caused her electrical/mechanical system failure. As stated before, Ms. *******'s policy does not cover this damage, which was obviously a result of corrosion and/or malfunction of a mechanical/electrical part. It doesn't matter how quickly the water enter the tube, the damage was due to a failure in the drain tube, caused by wear and tear which occurred over time. The technician discovered and identified the failed drain tube as the cause of the resulting damage. Respectfully, *** ***** Claims Manager (XXX) XXX-XXXX ext: 170

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2021/09/14) */ *****, the adjuster referred to in this complaint, was taking a recorded statement on 09/13/21 regarding this claim, SXXXXXXX. In a recorded statement the adjuster is required to ask certain questions to obtain information to allow us to make a coverage determination. Ms. ****** was anything but cooperative during this statement. Nevertheless, we obtained the necessary information to determine coverage. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2021/09/16) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) In the statement they provided they said I was less than cooperative and that is completely false. In the recording which was done on a sketchy RESTRICTED line the adjuster conducting my interview can be heard unprepared and unaware of all SHE IS to be asking. She carried HERSELF unprofessionally and KEPT badgering me to calm down because she found herself SENSATIVE to my tone of voice which reflected a controlled calmness in anger that SHE AS THE POOR ADJUSTER she is FAILED to recognize. She does not know who I am nor what PTSD is triggered in having the conversation I was having with her. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2021/09/16) */ Fully noted.

      I was involved in a car accident on 8/11/2021. The other driver was at fault and took responsibility. I was assigned a insurance adjuster for Claim SXXXXXXX and emailed all necessary information to her in a timely manner. I have sent many emails asking for an update to my case so I can get my car fixed but I only get the automatic reply that someone will contact me but I have not received any communication now and need my car fixed.

      I filed a claim in April 25,2021 since then it has been very difficult to get In touch with this so called insurance company. First they issue a letter stating there was no full coverage on the car at the time of the accident, I then submitted an file showing there was insurance on the car at the time of the accident after that they apologize and then tell me they will get this misunderstanding figured out. Fast forward 6 months later my medical was the only thing paid off while my car damages have not been touched yet I have even contacted my adjuster many times only to find out she has not went down to the towing company but wants me to go down there myself and take a picture of the damages and send it to them like why is this Insurance company even still in business. I just want my claim solved so I don't have to deal with these people ever again the worst insurance company that ever existed.
