When my wife was just 18 she had an accident, not her fault, that resulted in her truck being totaled. The claim was to be paid by Geico, and it was like pulling teeth. It literally took six months AFTER the adjuster came to get them to send us a check. Their check-writing-adjuster thought that she was young and naive and used every trick in the book to try and put her off - sent the check to the wrong address, forgot to sign it, wrong amount, etc.
In the end I called and asked for his physical address. He gave it to me and asked why I needed it. I told him that my lawyer had asked me to get it. The next day, the check arrived via FedEx.
Now I'm sure all insurance companies do this, but I can't imagine that it can be to such a degree. I have heartily encouraged others to consider their alternatives since then.
And who can stand those damn ads?
So soon there will be dozens of these OSS rating organizations. I am acting in advance and creating the Open Association for Rating Readiness Rating Standards Associations (O.A.R.R.R.S.A.)
I give these guys, a 5. They need a Java menu and some animated GIFs.
