When you are on a fixed income and have your debits to be drawn on the date it should, debiting it earlier can cause problems with your accounts with other bills.

Appeal
October 10, 2024

Was told the trucks repair would not be covered. Was not happy about this decision. Filled out an appeal form and within 2 days I was contacted saying after a review they were going to pay. Glad about that but shouldn't have to go through all this when something breaks on your vehicle.

We do go over what is covered with you on the initial phone call and also send you the policy right away to review. The contract does go over the details of the coverage and explains that all repair parts and costs are verified per nationally recognized labor guides.
