I called this insurance company twice to report someone fraudulently using my address for coverage; however ************** notifications continue to come to my home so apparently this person is still insured. The customer service rep told me she couldnt do anything about it without the policy holders consent & all they require is verbal verification for address. I find it ridiculous that they insure customers using whatever address they provide without requiring proper proof of residency. I am the homeowner & the only driver who resides at my address. I have no clue who ******************************* (contract# *****) is yet that wasnt enough for them to investigate. If every insurance company ran their business this way all customers would just lie to have cheaper rates. Theyre a complete joke! I guess this lady will continue to get low cost insurance by using an address that doesnt belong to her because Insure on the spot seems more concerned about collecting money. Obviously they dont mind supporting fraud.Business Response

I ********************* am filing this complaint against insure on the spot for having a insurance policy in which they did not honor that my father had been paying for years in which they violated all of the terms I had a incident on Dec 18 2022 in which I hit a pothole while returning home from the grocery store causing a collision and damaging the right tire and other parts beneath the car on Dec 19 I had the car towed to Heartcare auto for repairs I filed a claim December 20th with insure on the spot claims department american freedom however this complaint is against insure on the Spot because they should be held liable because they were the one my father was making monthly payments to for the policy the insure violated the terms and agreements in the policy which includes full coverage uninsured motors and etc their claims department sent out a appraiser who lied about the cost of the damage to the car claiming the damage was below the deductible cost of 500 which was clearly false then was told we would have to pay for the cost of parts horrific and then was referred to two mechanic shops that were not even listed on ****** or no valid contact information or reviews so I asked the representative why can't we get the car fixed at the shop we had it towed to they responded if we had the car fixed at heartcare we would be responsible for all costs and they would drop our claim if we did have it fixed there so the whole time insure on the Spot had no attention of fixing the car and wasted 3 weeks knowing that they were not going to pay for any of the cost of repairs I have never in my lifetime heard or experienced anything like this this is a clear case of fraud and deceptive trade practices under the consumer protection claim as law imagine paying a insurance company for 10 plus years driving around thinking you are fully covered then something happens and you realize you were never covered we had to pay for all repair cost and now we are seeking 2 to 3 years of paymentsBusiness Response

My insurance company {American Alliance}, has been giving me the run around on my vehicle. It was stolen 08/14/22. There is extensive damage. Blown engine. Total front-end damage. Rear bumper damage. Catalytic converters stolen. Peeled steering column. Many more damages. My issue with this company is that they don't value customers. They give me body shop listings and nobody wants to take my car. I sent an email to them stating if someone doesn't help me find a body shop, I will contact my attorney. Got call next morning. The car is still in the shop after five months. I was not offered a rental. They don't keep in contact with me about my car. I have to. They first said they will only pay for half an engine. I have a 71% betterment charge on my battery. Someone opened another claim to fix damage to rear bumper. I tried contacting management in claims and to no avail, I got no phone call. Just a pre-typed email without a resolution except that they closed the investigation. I still want to speak with them about my rear bumper that was damaged and nobody responds. They wanted me to resend photos of the car. I did and they said it was all prior damage. NO. This is all one claim when the car was stolen. I need a resolution to this about my rear bumper. I am not settling for their final answer. They are not listening to me. The paying customer. To this day, almost five months later, I still don't have my car. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A HUGE INCONVIENANCE AND NOTHING BUT AGGRAVATION. I only want my car fixed and returned to me. I also don't feel like I should pay the deductible for all of this happening. I am inquiring about seeking an attorney for this. They are the most incompitent, ignorant, non helpful and lax ******** This has been such a stressful issue for me. I am hoping that you will be able to help me. Thank youBusiness Response

Complaint: 18654343
I am rejecting this response because: The damage to the vehicle (back bumper) was also a part of the vehicle being stolen. I am not getting any responses regarding my vehicle. I never get updates on the progress of the vehicle. I am always told after the fact that any damage done is being fixed and never before it gets fixed. I still do not have my vehicle, and nobody keeps me informed. As far as Insure on the Spot, my complaint is about their customer service which is horrible. Like American Alliance, nobody keeps in contact with me. I have been waiting for over two weeks to hear back from Management at Insure on the Spot and still haven't heard from them. I was told three times that someone will call me and nothing. That is also horrible business practice to the customer. Both companies are ignorant to the fact that it's the customers that keeps them in business and not one customer should be pushed aside especially when all the customer wants are the right answer. Instead, you get ignored. I need answers about the concerns of my vehicle. I am a paying customer, and I should at least have some type of communication from the company. They need to re-train their workers on how to handle customer service.

Hi, i have put in 2 insurance claims at American alliance casualty company which is affiliated with insure on the spot. One claim is for a theft it is a *** which was stolen on 10-22-22 which was a Saturday. The police notified my daughter because its her car that was stolen they found her car on 10-23-22(Sunday). once we arrived where the car was located we waited 3hrs for the car to get towed to my home address. After we tape up the windows a little while after that someone set fire to a cargo van that was parked outside of my home. We do have video/pictures of the fire, now when the report was made we did not get on the initial report because we did not know the car was burned in the front until morning. On 10-24-22 my daughter called American alliance to report the theft claim because online there is no way to report other claims besides collision. My daughter gave them the info she was aware of once i woke up i went down stairs to look at her car and noticed the front of her car burned so i called and made another claim. We did talk to an officer over the phone name ***** later that day and she told me what i needed to do and how to get a supplementary report from the police station. Mind you I'm just the policy holder i cant get a report because its my daughters car. She work/have school. We went to the police station on 10-25-22 the police wrote up the report and we are still waiting to receive it. Every time i call the insurance company to see what is going on every single rep. has giving me wrong information about the claims. I was told to retrieve my own police reports, send copy of my daughter **** of sale, her car note payments etc. They have all that information. Then on 10-25-22 they made arrangement to tow her car to shop in blue island to get looked at for an estimate on the fire. The car is there i called many times to request it get looked at the body shop for the first claim(theft). They have all the info even on the quote they sent to me wrong. I tried several times to take to a supervisor i was told i couldn't. No one is investing the claims correctly. Then i was told to find a body shop and once i did they are not trying to release the car to the shop to get looked for the first claim(theft). I keep calling i asked to speak to the adjustor they told me i couldn't they will send her request/email.Business Response

My sr22 ended March 19, 2022. I contacted the insurance company some time after to inform them I no longer needed the insurance. They told me to send a letter from the state to cancel the insurance, however, the state told me they only send out one letter and that the insurance company had to contact them. Today, the 19th of August, I contacted the insurance company and they refuse to contact the state. So I called and put them on 3way.
