      The information on this complaint is extremely vague and does not provide specific claim information.

       

      I personally left 3 voice mail messages to this individual with no response.

      I was in a car accident with a **************** truck to which I was found not guilty and **************** was liable for the damages on 2/20/2024. For several weeks I've heard nothing and in the meantime my bumper was falling off. I finally got in contact with someone and they told me that they will get this resolved. More weeks would pass before I've heard anything else and had none of my phone calls returned. They would then call me back telling they are working on it and then not return any of my calls for updates for more weeks. It has been 3 full months since the accident that was no fault of my own and **************** ********* (Broadspire) has dragged this out and had a bad time communicating with me. I've been making car payments that is in an autobody shop that I am not using. I just want to be treated as anyone else would want to be treated and that's fairly. If the roles where reversed I'm sure they would want to be treated fairly as well.

      Warning: Crawford and Company has fake job postings all over the Internet. They are not actual jobs. They use fake listings to scam people into pay for classes. People that are desperate for jobs. To convince people that they should pay for these classes, Crawford promises them spots on their independent adjuster roster. Essentially, during a catastrophe, they draw from people on their roster to help assess and adjust the disasters for the insurance companies they have contracted with. A copy of this will be going to every insurance company I can find.I (the entire class as well) was told that within one week of the completion of the class, we would be emailed links to put us on the Crawford roster. We were not. Three months later and there has still been no attempt at helping me or others from my class get put onto the roster. I was told that I only needed to apply for a job. Another one of my classmates was told that he only needed to do a video interview. We have done everything they have said yet we are still not on the roster. After three months, it's apparent that this is a scam. Their website now has where you can pay monthly or yearly for classes. I have contacted *************************** from onboarding. He is completely incompetent. *************************, the teacher, assured me that he would be on top of this matter. He has done nothing but forward emails . He and *************************** lied to each of our faces when giving instructions and defining how the process worked. He along with two other ladies that were introduced as the "onboarding team". No, we were not promised jobs or deployments. After "training" we were promised to be put on the roster. This never happened for the majority of my class. We would all like to know why we spent 2-3 hours with 3 people from the "onboarding team" if we weren't told we were being onboarded? I would never want to be associated with Crawford going forward and only seek to get my money back for a fake class.

      RE:         BBB ID:                                21772163
      Complainant Name:     *************************

      We are in receipt of Mr. ******** correspondence dated May 29, 2024.

      In the narrative of Mr. ******** complaint, he referenced Crawford and Company has fake job postings all over the Internet. They are not actual jobs. They use fake listings to scam people into pay for classes. People that are desperate for jobs. To convince people that they should pay for these classes, Crawford promises them spots on their independent adjuster roster. Essentially, during a catastrophe, they draw from people on their roster to help assess and adjust the disasters for the insurance companies they have contracted with.

      Mr.******** specific complaint is in reference to Crawford Catastrophe.  This is a division within Crawford &Company that provides independent adjusting services to insurers in the event of a natural disaster. 

      We respectfully disagree with the allegations presented by the complainant.  ****************** attended an Adjuster Basics Evaluation course from February 12, 2024 February 16, 2024 in ******* ***  Crawford Catastrophe does not guarantee that an adjuster will be deployed. In fact, due to mild weather this winter, the industry has been slow with low volume deployments. To be placed on the roster and considered for deployments, one must go through Crawford Catastrophe onboarding. 

      After completing the 5-Day Adjuster Basic Class, an invitation to apply was sent March 4, 2024 to ****************** and all others who attended the class. The link supplied in the email invitation directed him to the *** Careers page Job Listings at Crawford & *** (icims.com), and *** Adjuster job posting as explained in the email he received.

      We have confirmed ****************** did not apply to the *** Adjuster requisition as directed.  Our records reflect on March 20, 2024, ***************** did apply to a different position within Crawford Loss Adjusting,Property *********** (requisition 2024-24924). This position has since been filled and the requisition was closed.

      The class the complainant refers to was designed to teach General Claims Handling,Policy, File Documentation, Customer Experience and Xactimate Level 2.  Crawford did not promise a job or a deployment from attending the class. 

      We regret ****************** had a negative experience however we disagree with has assertions as our information reflects ****************** did not follow in accordance with the invitation of March 4, 2024.

      Complaint: 21772163

      I am rejecting this response because: The response is not at all factual. Additionally, other people from my class reached out to ***************************, who we were told was going to onboard us, to get help as well and were unsuccessful.

      If what you were saying is correct, why is only one other person from that class on the roster? Additionally, I stated in my response that I was well aware that there was not a job offer or a guarantee for employment. I was well aware of the fact that it would be a potential. The fact that you did not put me on the roster is where you have failed. Only one person from my class has been put on that roster and it is because his father-in-law works for Crawford. It took him three months to get there.

      The link that *************************** gave me was not the roster invitation. It was not A an invitation that he sent ***********************, **** received a video interview which is not even part of the process. Even so, **** has not heard anything back in three months after completing the video interview which was not even required. The roster invitation requires drug testing and a background check. Perhaps his incompetence is your problem. It's been five months. If it were not an issue with him, a new link would have been re-issued and we wouldn't be where we are right now. ************************* was also aware and assured me that it would be taken care of. It has not. To make my point even more clear, this email would not have been sent. Perhaps it would have included a link to the roster invitation as well. I'm getting my money back. This is your last chance at the easy way.


      Sincerely,

      *************************

      **************** was notified of the statute of limitations for her claim and was asked to advise Broadspire of any questions she has at that time.
