      Ive spent over a year providing thorough documentation to support my bodily injury claim, but the assigned adjuster has relied on inflated billing figures, issued vague denials, and handled the process unprofessionally. Despite escalating to his supervisor, Ive received no meaningful response. Im seeking a senior-level review and a fair settlement that accurately reflects my documented medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.

      Complaint: 23949087

      Thank you for forwarding CSAA Insurance Groups response.
      I respectfully disagree with their characterization of the status of this complaint. While we did speak on October 1, 2025, my concerns have not been fully addressed or resolved. Several key issues remain outstanding, including:
      Improper MedPay offset: The adjuster has repeatedly quoted a $1,000 MedPay offset against my settlement despite the ****** coverage being fully exhausted early in treatment. I have not received any valid legal or policy basis for this reduction.
      Cherry-picked and incomplete review of medical records: The adjuster has relied on selective excerpts to minimize my injuries while disregarding key provider notes, supportive letters, and treatment timeline documentation that were part of my submitted records.
      Underpayment of pain and suffering damages: Despite clear evidence of prolonged injury and quality-of-life impact, the insurers offer has been substantially below reasonable value and inconsistent with the medical documentation and timelines provided.
      At no point have I accepted any final figures, nor have I confirmed that all concerns were corrected, as stated in CSAAs letter. Negotiations are ongoing precisely because these issues remain unresolved.
      I respectfully request that this BBB complaint remain open until CSAA provides a full and accurate resolution of the claim, including written clarification and correction of the disputed matters outlined in my original BBB filing.
      Thank you for your assistance in facilitating a fair resolution.

      The CSAA response is incorrect. My complaint was filed with the California Department of Insurance, not the New Jersey DOBI. The companys statement misrepresents the jurisdiction and does not address the substance of my complaint, whatsoever. My insurance claim has yet to be settled.

      9/18/24- Roadside assistance of truck and fifth wheel towing. Cost we had to pay was $2975. I thought there would have been no cost at all. I have vehicle insurance and Roadside assistance for vehicles and fifth wheel. When we got vehicle insurance on husbands truck we took pictures and provided to ***. Lacked to advise or communicate the Dodge Ram would not have any roadside assistance coverage. I made it clear we would be traveling out of state our fifth wheel for additional RV/ fifth wheel coverage for the upcoming trip. I was advised of 200 miles free towing nothing about 500 deductible, only nor that the vehicle Dodge Ram that towed would not be covered at all. We were within the 200 miles free towing and should have not had to pay anything. They should provide me proof of recorded call or documents that clearly explained this to their customer.

      On July 30, 2024, my small ranch home suffered catastrophic water damage affecting 90% of the property, resulting in over a year of displacement for my family, with two relocations completed and a third looming due to defective tile flooring in the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom.CSAA Insurance Group short-paid our claim, failed to oversee the contractor (paid in full before starting work), and allowed substandard, incomplete, and unsafe repairs, leaving our home uninhabitable. Despite repeated submissions of documentation, invoices, and follow-ups, CSAA still owes $65,741.07. Their response has been marked by stonewalling, silence, and extreme delays, forcing prolonged hardship on my family.Regulatory oversight: The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) has been involved for over eight months, underscoring the seriousness of CSAAs mismanagement.Human impact: The repeated displacements, uncertainty, and prolonged inaction have caused severe financial, logistical, and emotional hardship. My family is currently in therapy due to stress and trauma caused by CSAAs negligence.We are requesting:Immediate settlement of $65,741.07.Note to BBB and CSAA: Continued inaction not only violates CSAAs contractual obligations but has caused documented physical, financial, and emotional harm. We are relying on the BBB to ensure that CSAA fulfills its obligations promptly. Further delay exposes CSAA to regulatory scrutiny, public accountability, and additional legal consequences.Claim# ************

      Dear Disputes Resolution Specialist:

      We are in receipt of your offices inquiry and welcome the opportunity to address any issues raised. We have reviewed the complaint to your department which was received on September 18, 2025.

      The policyholder experienced a water loss in July of 2024. The claim has been paid to date for a $80,108.99 for the temporary housing needs and $92,642.11 for the repairs to the dwelling.The policyholder originally hired a general contractor who started the work on the residence. At some point in time, they instructed this contractor to make repairs to the dwelling that were not related to the water loss and that were not approved by us. Their contract with the contractor was severed because they were not satisfied with the work quality. Subsequently, another contractor was hired to finish the repairs covered under the loss. The policyholder submitted invoices from his new contractor and was reimbursed based on these receipts and invoices. 

      The policyholder stated that additional amounts were owed but has not provided documentation to substantiate their position. We offered to reinspect the property to assist with documenting their claim, however to date this offer and subsequent offers have been declined.

      Should you have any additional information to provide, please let us know.

      Sincerely,

      CSAA Insurance Group Claims Department

      Complaint: 23899880

      I am rejecting this response because:In response to CSAAs recent statement:


      We did not hire or fire the contractor. CSAA assigned Advance Disaster Recovery (A. *****) to our claim. On January 2, 2025, in the presence of CSAAs adjuster **** ****** , A. ***** walked off the job and abandoned our home.
      We never requested or directed unauthorized work. Every repair requested was tied directly to the July 2024 water loss. CSAA has falsely labeled disputed items as upgrades to avoid payment.
      Our home was left unfinished. CSAAs claim that another contractor was hired and reimbursed is false. We remain out-of-pocket for tens of thousands of dollars.
      Payments are misrepresented. CSAA cites large totals but omits what remains unpaid:

      unpaid contents and short pay for repairs $31,xxx
      Contractor: $34,267.56 paid to A. ***** for incomplete, substandard work


      We did not decline reinspection. We requested an inspection multiple times once the contractor walked off but CSAA ignored me. CSAA adjuster was unwilling to take a 30 minute ride to my house. 

      As one example, the tile flooring installed by A. ***** was so poorly done it looks like it was laid by untrained labor. Large sections remain uneven & cracked and cracked grout. All photos sent in to CSAA and DOBI. 


      In short, CSAAs response is inaccurate and misleading. Our family has been displaced twice , underpaid, and misrepresented. We ask the BBB to keep this record open as unresolved until CSAA provides truthful answers and pays the amounts still owed. $65.741.07

      Complaint: 23899880

      I am rejecting this response because:CSAAs latest statement is inaccurate and misleading. The claim remains unresolved, and their closure assertion is unfounded.


      1. Contractor assignment and abandonment: CSAAnot the homeownerselected and paid Advance Disaster Recovery (A. *****) as the general contractor. On January 2, 2025, in the presence of CSAAs own adjuster, A. ***** abandoned the job, leaving our home unfinished and unsafe. 


      2. No unauthorized work: Every repair request and estimate was directly tied to the July 2024 water loss. CSAA has repeatedly mislabeled covered repairs as upgrades to avoid payment.


      3. Misstated payments: CSAAs reference to total claim payments is misleading. The company cites gross figures but omits substantial unpaid balances, including:
      $31,000 + in short-paid or denied repair and contents items
      $34,267.56 paid to A. ***** for incomplete and defective work


      4. Inspection history: We never declined reinspection. In fact, we requested multiple inspections after the contractor walked off. CSAA ignored these requests; the assigned adjuster refused to visit the property despite repeated outreach. despite being 30 minutes away from the property..


      5. No denial letter or written explanation: At no point has CSAA issued a formal denial letter and/or written explanation addressing the unpaid portions of the claim in which is fully documented. This omission violates standard claim-handling practices and leaves the claim open.


      6. Current status: Our family remains financially impacted, with unfinished and unsafe areas of the home and significant out-of-pocket expenses.Tile work in bathroom- kitchen - dinning room are failing - broken tiles ,missing grout and water intrusion -( wrong subfloor used and documented with csaa with pictures and they chose to ignore), major health risk pictures and documentation sent to csaa and completely ignored 


      For these reasons, I respectfully request that the BBB keep this complaint listed as unresolved. CSAAs characterization of the matter as closed is both inaccurate and premature until full payment and documentation are provided.

      On (I believe) August 6th, 2025 I called AAA for a replacement battery. They sent a tow company with a battery. The tech working for the company damaged my car ($1250) radiator to the point it was und needed to be towed to a mechanic. At that point, I gave the car to the mechanic because I didn't want to put that much money into it. I called the tow company, they said my avenue of recourse is AAA. So I filed a claim with ***. Initially they were VERY unresponsive to my claim, I could not get a response, let alone action. Finally someone called me, let me know that since I no longer have the car, they will not be reimbursing me in any way. Since that day, at least two or three weeks ago, i have been trying to get AAA to provide me with their decision in writing. This is the real nature of my complaint: I cannot get them to provide a written claim decision. Therefore, I cannot protest the decision, I cannot take that to the tow company, I cannot do anything. I have called a specific person two or three times each week, and I have emailed her equally as often. I have gone to my local branch. I have called customer service, etc. All of them either do not respond, or promise me something in writing "by the end of the day today". As of 9/17/25, I've not received that.

      Worst experience ever, called for an out of town on a purchased vehicle, waited 4 hours then finally called them, some horrible supervisor got on the *********** said, yelling at me that she can't tow the vehicle because I just purchased it, I argued & let her know that I have ************************************* on my vehicle, she did not care, very ****, wish I had got her name, but I was so upset, I hung up & went back to my car I drove up in which was parked outside a restaurant, low & behold, that car would not start, so I initiated a service call for that vehicle, then my phone rang, some supervisor lady, the same nasty one started yelling at me saying I have committed *********** was going to cancel my account with *** after 24 years of dedication/membership, I tried to explain to her that this was the vehicle I drove up in, different model, different color, different year & license plate, she yelled at me more this time saying the vehicle has no insurance or registration, finally I had to hang up on her due to excessive verbal abuse, at this point I was shaking & could hardly stand, but the entire experience was awful, I even told the horrible lady that I can send a picture of the ************************************* of the vehicle that broke down outside the restaurant both of which were in my name for a very long time, she did not care & continued to make assumptions about her radical theory, she even said I only needed my other car towed because I wanted a ride home, how would that make sense at all, she was a disgrace to AAA & needs to be terminated, also the tow company called Welcome ****************** located in **************** were in on the scam, they called me & said I need to pay them $1500.00 cash because they wont tow via AAA, they are all involved in scams to take funds from legit customer, me of which have been loyal to AAA for 24 years. I ended up paying $1,500.00 for a tow, bad fuel pump fixed the vehicle. Proof of ownership/insurance below

      Yesterday I called AAA. They sent Columbia Towing of *********** to tow the car. Never again! It was a nightmare! The lady that called me seemed to be on drugs or something. She called me from **************. She kept getting confused and then she blatantly lied saying when the wrecker came to get the car, it was in the middle of the road! That was a big lie! The car was on the side of *************** in **********. *************** is a major road in **********. Cars were traveling the road all morning. They would have called the police if the car had been in the middle of the road. The car was on the shoulder of the road almost in the ditch. My sister even fell in the ditch trying to get her groceries out of the car. I have never seen a business blatantly lie, scream at me, and act like a person on drugs! What is wrong with these people? The rude and mean secretary told me I had to pay for the service before he came back. I paid. I called and told the dealer what was going on and he told me to cancel the tow because he would get the car. I called AAA and canceled the call and they charged me anyway. They lied . And they stole my money

      I contacted AAA because the car battery in my wife's car had died. The original call I made I was told they couldn't dispatch because my mother; who was the account holder; was not present. I called back and signed up for a membership so we could have someone come out and replace the battery. I received a text with an ETA time. My wife was home- the car was safely parked in the drive way at our home. About an hour goes by and I get a call from *** that they came and no one was there to answer the call. This was confusing as my wife was home and I never received a call or text letting me know they arrived at the scene. They charged my card $60 twice for dispatch service and then left and told me they could not help me today. I asked them to refund me either charge since no one ever came out and they told me no. No one arrived at the scene- as I mentioned my wife was home and no one knocked or called to let us know they arrived. Now they are taking $120 and refuse to refund me ? I cancelled my membership at this point; got a jump; and had the battery replaced by a local auto shop with ZERO help from ***.
