Loyalty Underwriter, Car Insurance. I filed a claim on 12/27/24 and have not received a check for my truck yet 2/27/25 will be 2 months. The title was given to them on 2/10/25. It has been 2 weeks and no check. They promised it will be overnighted and it was not and now they don't do overnighting. They said I can pick it up. now you can't pick it up. They are liars and give you the run around while they collect interest on your money. Poor customer service and communication. They will not escalate a call to a supervisor nor give name or number.Business Response

On 01/06/25, we opened a claim. 1- The person who received the case sent us documents to sign and tried to get us to give up on opening the claim for our accident. Finally, once the case was opened, we sent what was required to the email of (********* *****). We called every day, asking for the adjuster, until on 01/13/25 we managed to speak with him (******** ******) who told us that ********* had not sent the images of our accident. And in the call he tried to convince us to take our car to the workshops authorized by them, to which we reminded him that our car had been in the workshop of our trusted mechanic since January 6. To which he replied that if this were the case it would take longer because he had to send an investigator to our city to speak with the mechanic. (I didn't understand this! If it were in his workshops, would the case approval be quicker?) After this he never communicated! since January 13th. Since Tuesday the 21st we have been calling him and we always get different answers with different things. They asked me to leave a message on the answering machine. Then they took my message on another call, today at 1pm they tell me that he was having lunch and finally at 3:30 in the afternoon they tell me that since yesterday he is not in the office because he has a family situation. (Really? And why if I am calling every day they answer me different things?) When I express my discontent they tell me that he is working on my case and is just waiting for the mechanic to send the repair cost!!! To which I respond that it is impossible because the mechanic is asking us every day if we already have an answer since they agreed that the investigator would contact the mechanic to go see the damage, and he himself has tried to contact them 4 times today and there is no solution that is seen soon despite the fact that the car has been with the report since January 6th almost 20 days today.Business Response

On August 17 2024 I was hit by a drunk driver at 1:30 pm in ************. The driver left the scene of accident before police came because she didnt want to end up In jail. She is from ************* and the vehicle insurance is loyalty underwriters. They are not returning my calls and only sends me emails stating they are not gonna pay for my car to get repaired because they cant find the driver. I currently lost my job due to this because I dont have a vehicle its not drivable. Then today I got a email stating the vehicle is repairable but they still are not paying for anything. Everytime I call I get an excuse that they are on the other line but they never return my calls. We are now in October 15th and they havent done anything to help with this situation out. They shouldnt insure people that have alcohol problems and get in to accidents while intoxicated. I dont understand how they cant find the driver when they know the owners information and the car was not reported stolen before or on the date of this accident they still had insurance I took pictures of car plates and registration information. I also took pictures and damages to both cars. They have a lot of bad reviews but these reviews clearly dont mean anything because they are still in business and doing shady business. I hope they get more complaints and the BBB finally do something about this because people are losing money and jobs due to this company not keeping their word and helping out ***** theres a issue. They will never get business from me and Im going to let everyone I know thats lives in ************* to not ever do business with them they are scammers and needs to be shut down for the horrible business they are conductingBusiness Response

Spoke to ********* **** on 11/1 and he told me on the phone that the claim closed 2 days ago that I can call and complain 100 times he will deny any claims and all claims because they are refusing to pay for a person thats not on the policy even tho the owner of vehicle spoke to police officer that made reports on the case and stated that she gave her sister permission to drive car for several days. Because of this accident I lost not only my truck but also my job and currently in need of income. I will probably be homeless with my 5 children by the end of this month in the streets because this company refuse to paid to get my truck fixed. Even tho I have spoken to different people also a woman name *****. I have never received a email or phone call from loyalty stating my claim is closed and denied. They have been very rude to me they dont return calls or emails and they are refusing to take accountability for their policy holders for causing an accident and leaving the scene of accident. Christians email is ******************************** ext.3713 thats the only information I got out of this case and this happened on August 17th, 2024. Now I have to also live with neck pain and not being able to work due to a drunk driver that got away.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I am in no way associated with the attachments sent. I am writing in regards to a car insurance claim.
Your company is so incompetent that they sent me someones private insurance information that I unknowingly downloaded to my laptop.
I don't know if that is against the law but it just happened. please have ***** at your ***** location to fill you in on the abuse I have suffered from him.
He told me on a Wednesday that the check was ready. I drove across ***** to have him ignore me and come up with an excuse that they moved office.
He ignored my calls and messages for the address that day and only got a response when I started not hanging up when the receptionist answered.
To have him tell me that it was not approved yet and that I should get a lawyer.

1) We bought car insurance for 6 months coverage 2) We pay ****** 3) The insurance we paid was a fullcover. They suppose they would cover the difference from the car loan in case of an accident loss 4) We had a car accident, and according to their first review, the case was total loss. They made a bad management of the case, we claimed and pointed out all their mistakes and now we have been harmed. There is a lot of shortcomings on the part of the company Loyalty MGA LLC, for example, after 3 months with several interviews, they sent us a request for a list called "Clients Duties letter when making a Claim", a document that is supposed to be sent to us in the first days after we filed our claim and 3 days after we received that document, Loyalty MGA LLC closed the case without giving us time to fill out and respond to the document. 5) They created their stories and conclusions against us without any proof and closed our claim. The point here is that they mishandled our case and now we are the ones who are harmed.6) This insurance company was recommended by Univista Insurance, of which we are clients 6 years here in ********Business Response

After 2 years of paying for insurance, I had an accident and they came up with all sorts of excuses to not pay for the car repairs. They gave me a ticket because I had an Uber driver account that I NEVER used. It took them 60 DAYS to pay for the body shop. I had to spend 60 days on car rental. Now I'm filing a lawsuit against them to get my losses back!Business Response

The customer of ********************** (Auto) decided to make a left hand turn from the middle lane to cause an accident. The police report put that customer at fault and gave him 2 tickets. The police reports also have the witnesses that stated that he was at fault of the accident. We contacted Loyalty to pay the $1228.51 for the auto repair. Instead, they are trying to put the accident on us stating that we are 60% at fault because we could have avoided the accident if our vehicle had stopped in time. What BS is that? So, we would followed the Florida DMV handbook is 60% at fault and the person who made up their own rules is only 40%!?! The accident could have been avoided if the customer would have followed the rules of FLDMV. You don't make a left hand turn from the *********** that is going straight. So NOT following government rules and entities make you more innocent than a person who is following the driver license handbook. We not filing for any injuries or anything else.

I had an accident on 6/05/2024, a claim was placed and Loyalty Underwriter started the usual "investigation". They are claiming I have an Uber Driver account and is increasing my premium by $678 more. This is completely false and unacceptable. I have provided Loyalty written proof that I do not have such account with ****. However they contacted me via email stating they will not remove the ** from my account. In addition to this, I haven't been able to fix my car. This company does not protect their customers. I have read some of the reviews and it seen that they have a pattern to blame customers with the Uber driver account thing. I believe this is very disrespectful and are making false accusations on their customers. This company is not trustworthy and should be investigated. I just want to add that my daughter has been helping with with this issue.Business Response

In March of 2024 I got into a car accident. I contacted my insurance Peoples trust to file a claim and they were going to pick up the car. A week passes and they have not picked up the car from the tow yard. Turns out that they were going to pick up the vehicle under the wrong name loyalty underwriters peoples trust is what my insurance card says so they were not giving the car to loyalty underwriters. Because of that mishap in their company name, I was charged over $600 in storage fees with no one in the company being able to give me answers as to why they are giving the wrong company name to customers. I unfortunately had to accept the 600$ plus loss on the storage fees with no help from the company for answers. Now we came to an agreement on the settlement amount with the loss and it has been almost 4 weeks since its been done with no check I have no answers and no one wants to help me. So I have over 600 loss and no check even though I was bullied and pressured and agree to their terms so I can make progress on my case and buy a new car I have spent thousands on Uber even though I have full coverage they have refused me a rental these shady business practices have been very taxing on me to the point I was hospitalized after my injury due to the stress and hardship this has caused me at this point I just want my check so I can purchase a new car and move on from this company that is dismissive and disrespectful to there customersBusiness Response
