      Each year, its the same thing. *** sends out a letter which states: THIS IS NOT A BILL. What it is notice of the increase in my auto insurance because theres always an increase.Each year, I call the agent liaison I have at *** and make the same complaint. Check the phone logs which will bear me out on this. Send out the bill instead of this letter [What purpose does this letter serve? And why cant the bill be sent out instead?] because this is what happens: The bill arrives a few days before its due. One year, my insurance was almost cancelled because I had not received the bill on ******** was forced to pay by credit card. A close to $1,000 charge is not something I put on my credit card. AND:a)I do not pay bills online. b)I do not bank online. To date, my data has been stolen 4 times, so I do as little over the web as possible. Now my email address & other info has been found on the Dark Web. c)I will not download my bill from the **** website. I pay by check.This means I go to the credit union to draw money from an account. Then I o go to the ** to mail the letter. My time is as valuable as AAAs. AAAs incompetency must stop.Mail my bill one month before the bill is due, not the week before.AND compensate me for repeatedly having to ask you to do something which is practical, logical, and should be a non-brainer. DESIRED SETTLEMENT My time is as valuable as AAA's time. For my repeated requests, which have been ignored over the years, I want AAA to pay my auto insurance premiums this year. And I want this bill to replace the letter they send, which serves no purpose. SEND THE BILL ONE MONTH EARLIER. This is not a postal service issue as the letter, which is not a bill, arrives in plenty of **********, October 24, 2024, I received an email from AAA/CSAA saying my insurance had expired.

      I am rejecting this response because: I am rejecting this response: Based on CSA & AAA's delay over the last 7 years to mail the BILL in an appropriate amount of time, and which I have complained about for the last 7 years, I mailed a personal check on October 10. I do not bank online & I do not pay bills online; my personal data & info has been stolen 4x. So this year, I called AAA in ******** & they emailed the BILL. I wrote a personal check &mailed the check PLUS a copy of my bill that same day. FYI: the actual BILL arrived in my mailbox 2 weeks later. I spoke w/**** Oct 29 & he was going to check w/his ************* he left a message later Oct 29 to say that Billing had not recd my check & that I could pay by credit card; I cannot do that;payment for different bills comes from different accounts, and money does not grow on trees. Its not my fault that CSAA has not recd my check. I called WF Oct 30 & the check had not been cashed. I cannot charge over $1,000 on my credit card. Then I have to call WF & stop payment on my check. Then I have to trust CSAA will not cash the check when they receive it. So have CSAA/Joshs office email or provide a prepaid label so I can send another check to CSAA; CSAA/**** can also send a ***** or *** #.  If this ploy on CSAAs part to force people to pay online or by credit card because CSAA delays sending out the BILL, its the poorest of customer service and respect for customers who have been with AAA as long as I have.

      Complaint: 22468899

      I am rejecting this response because:

      CSAA left a voice mail with an incomplete address for their corporate office.  AND CSAA neglected to tell me that while I could mail a check to the corporate office [incomplete address given in voice mail] the same issue is possible which is the 2nd check NOT being received on time.  What CSAA neglected to tell me was that while I could mail another check, if it didnt reach the corporate office within 15 days of when the payment was due [October 22], a financial penalty will be affixed. That date would be November 6, and its highly unlikely that my check will reach the corporate office, if I mail it on Monday November 4.  CSAA is again negligent.  If CSAA had acted in good faith, they would have informed me of this; instead, I had to call AAA in ******** to find this out.  Again, I had to take time to do someone elses job.  If Im doing your job, CSAA, then pay me your hourly wage or salary.  This lack of an important detail tells me youre not acting in good faith.  STOP TELEPHONING ME.       


      I put a stop payment on the check with my bank.  The stop payment is in place for 6 months.  If CSAA attempts to cash the check, my bank has been instructed to start an investigation. After 6 months, I will extend the stop payment for another 6 months.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      While I paid this bill, against my wishes, on my credit card, CSAA's bad faith, not full disclosure about penalties still remains on the table.  While I don't expect bad faith behavior to change overnight, and I don't expect a response, I'm researching & vetting other companies for next year's insurance, and, I'm notifying my social network so they can be aware and informed if CSAA comes up as an option for auto insurance.  CSAA is the same company that took 3 years to remove my name from marketing postal mail.  My first time request should have been sufficient, but CSAA continued to send junk/marketing postal mail for 3 years before I AGAIN requested, and they finally did as I requested.  As I stated before, if I'm doing your job, then pay me for doing your job.  Again, you've wasted my time.

      On October 20th at approx 6am Arizona time I called AAA roadside assistance to tow my truck and travel trailer in *******. All questions were answered regarding the specifics of my truck and trailer. A tow company was dispatched. While waiting the tow company called me to ask the SAME questions I provided AAA. I received multiple calls and updates directly from the tow company with assurances that they were "on their way." About an hour past and I received a call from AAA (Salt Lake City number) that the tow truck wasn't coming after all and a new dispatch for a different tow company had been arranged.I was eventually picked up after a wait in excess of 3 hours. I've been an *** member for 28 YEARS and have never waited that long or had a tow company cancel the job while "on their way." My time is as valuable as anyone else's. I chose to call early Sunday morning as there would be minimal traffic on the roads, thus ensuring a reasonable response time.For compensation for my time and continued loyalty I expect this tow to be REMOVED from my records, thus leaving me with 3 remaining tows instead of 2 (for the current period). I also expect *** to reevaluate their relationship with the first tow company ************** membership # *******************

      Triple a falsely changed my statement on march 2 of my accident. To say my phone slipped off my phone holder to floor and I went to grab it and hit a curb. There was a storm in ***** that day, my phone was slipping and I reached out for it and at the same time a gust of wind blew my car to the curb. It was weather related and they put at fault. I also have my work insurance statement saying the same thing from farmers. This is fraud.. they have also put me at fault for 5 *************** that were not my fault. They have caused a lot of problems for me getting insurance. Like saying it was my fault that someone hit me in my apartments when I didnt even have them fix my car. Claim number for weather accident 100-561-6609 adjuster ***** ******. Also ***** ***** said an accident was my fault for changing lanes when I made a left hand turn and crossed 4 lanes and because of that it was my fault. I went into the *********** which turns into a left turning lane to make a left turn. At the same time someone comes into my lane and we hit each other.

      We pay for RV towing. We've been paying for that for over 5 years. *** has left me stranded for over 24 hours. I had a supervisor named ***** call me last night at 8:00 p.m. after waiting over 7 hours for a tow truck. First ***** told me that the vehicle was involved in a flood and it was not. Then he said the vehicle was stuck in mud and it is not. Then he specifically stated several times we do not tow RVs. I said that is a service we pay for so you're telling me you are committing fraud embezzlement in theft. He then again said that *** does not tow RVs. He canceled my tow service. I live in ******* and I have been stranded in ******** for 3 days now. I got a rental car and I'm waiting for them to tow my RV so I can get home and get back to work. So I want to know why they are stealing money because apparently they do not tow RVs is what ***** said. Apparently ***** is a dispatch supervisor. I'm very upset with this company I would like a refund for the last 5 years that we have paid for ********** and apparently they do not tow RVs but they claim they tell RVs I guess just to take your money I'm not quite sure. Our phone call was a recorded phone call so I can prove be on a reasonable doubt that this is what this person had told me.

      This complaint is being submitted in regards to a homeowner's insurance claim. Claim number ************. Claim loss occurred 28 January 2024. Claim involved backup water in the basement/water mitigation with the company named Restoration 1 of Springfield located at ****************************************. Requesting assistance in regards to the cost of the water mitigation. According to all records, Restoration 1 final invoice was submitted to me in the amount of $16699.93 in which I paid in full after six months getting invoices and submitting them to CSAA. CSAA insurance only paid/sent checks to me in the amount of $13300.98. See documentation uploaded. I am requesting that CSAA please reimburse me for the amount of $3398.95 because I was instructed that I should submit invoices to CSAA claims adjuster for reimbursement. I paid Restoration 1 in full. Your assistance and guidance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

      Dear BBB:

      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 October 22, 2024. I have provided the information you requested below.
      Our insured hired a mitigation contractor, which billed her directly. Several charges on the bill were not supported. We requested additional information to support the charges on multiple occasions; however, the contractor would not comply with our requests. Therefore, we reimbursed our insured for the undisputed portion of the bill while explaining that we would reopen the claim should her contractor wish to cooperate with our request. We informed our insured of this concern on multiple occasions throughout the claim process. Our insured opted to pay the unsupported charges and has requested reimbursement of these charges. To date, we have yet to receive any documentation to support the charges in question.

      Complaint: 22459926

      I am rejecting this response because: I was never informed not to pay the contractor, the invoices were being sent to me and this was involving my credit as to non payment. Yes, I hired a water mitigation company based on this was due to an emergency water backing up in my basement on 28 January. As I stated, I was instructed to maintain receipts and send them to the claim adjuster. I received two checks from CSAA that I paid Restoration 1. Somewhere in this process, I received and email stating to the claim adjuster, the final cost, yes I paid it to clear this contractor being paid by me.  I am highly disappointed with this decision that CSAA states that they would only negotiate at the amount indicated in their communication, so if CSAA would only be willing to start the process at $15000, then why am I not being reimbursement at that amount CSAA is willing to negotiate? Never once was I informed from the emergency claim being called in, that CSAA only pay contractors vested with their supported software non am I in the position of knowing what and how the billing works.  Please review that support documentation submitted as to communications with the *** claims adjuster and the contractor Restoration 1.  If nothing else, I believe I should be paid the amount CSAA states they are willing to negotiate, the $15000 amount.  I am currently away from ******** and the internet is not all that good.  Please review, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

      Dear BBB:

      We are in receipt of your offices follow up inquiry and welcome the opportunity to address the issues raised. We have reviewed the complaint to your department which was received on October 22, 2024. I have provided the information you requested below.

      We communicated with our insured through multiple correspondence our follow up attempts sent to her contractor explaining why we could not pay the requested mitigation balance and what was needed to support the questionable charges. We also provided our insured copies of the multiple attempts to contact her contractor and the offers made after review of the mitigation invoice.

      In addition to the questionable charges on the estimate, the mitigation contractor's estimate had multiple pricing errors that did not align with industry standards. We never offered $15,000 for the mitigation services. Unfortunately, many of the charges still have not been supported.

      Overpaying for services that cannot be supported can have a negative effect on our policyholders. We exhausted our efforts to understand or negotiate the mitigation invoice. Since our insured opted to pay the invoice, the contractor stopped responding and will not aide their customer in remedying her out of pocket expenses by providing the necessary documentation needed to support their bill.

      CSAA IS THREATENING TO KICK US OUT OF OUR HOTEL BEFORE OUR HOUSE IS CLEANED AND PASSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL TEST. THEY BEHAVE BADLY BECAUSE THEY CAN. The contractor CSAA sent in to remove a little mold wasnt trained properly in mold removal so they contaminated our entire house. They didnt do proper containment . . . didnt use proper equipment . . . and actually used the wrong equipment that blew mold spores and silica dust everywhere. We informed CSAA of our problem many times via telephone calls and emails. No Response for 41 days. When the claims department finally did start responding Almost nothing they said would happen ever occurred. Just doublespeak and nonsense.Our claims adjuster kept insisting (in writing) that our house was "habitable". CSAA said they would send a company out to do environmental testing. That didn't happen so we hired our own company to test. CSAA wrote that they would accept the results of the reputable company we hired. The results showed the entire house was contaminated with various mold spores and silica dust. Suddenly CSAA changed their minds about accepting the original test results. CSAA's own testing company's report confirmed that the entire house was contaminated with various mold spores and silica dust. However, CSAA was now blaming "poor housekeeping" as the reason for the contamination . . . despite the fact that their own company's test results identified specific mold spores that only come from water damage. Further insurance delays were caused by No Response as CSAA largely ignored emails and phone calls from our designated contractor for the kitchen repairs. When our claims adjuster finally did talk to our contractor . . . we discovered that CSAA are the only people on the planet who believe 28 year old kitchen cabinets can be matched with brand new cabinet materials!Furthermore, CSAA confirmed in writing they would pay for pets boarding, mileage, laundry, and other incidentals. They stopped paying.

      Dear Disputes Resolution Specialist:
      We are in receipt of your offices inquiry. We have reviewed the complaint to your department which was submitted on October 21, 2024. I have provided the information you requested below. 
      The issues brought up by Mr. ***** within this complaint have been addressed in multiple responses to the California Department of Insurance (CA DOI) from various inquiries submitted by Mr. ******
      We were provided a letter of representation from Public Adjuster **** ***** soon after our last follow up response to the California Department of Insurance, which advised Mr. ***** had retained his services to assist in facilitating a settlement. We have been working with ******** since January of 2024 and have recently reached a settlement agreement with him to bring this file to closure. The ****** have been in temporary housing since March of 2023, so part of the settlement agreement included setting a moveout date from the hotel with ample notice (approximately two weeks) so that we could close out the hotel billing portion of the claim, which Mr. ****** public adjuster agreed to.
      We regret Mr. ***** has not had a more positive claims experience; however, this claim was handled in accordance with the policy provisions and state regulations.
      If you have any further questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We are here to assist you and ensure that your concerns are addressed appropriately.
      Thank you for your understanding.

      Sincerely,


      CSAA Insurance Group Claims Department

      I canceled my auto insurance policy ending in 4088 with the company in July, 2024 after they raised my premium approximately 20% despite good driving.I continue to receive invoices for payment as if the policy were still in force. I am now receiving past due notices from the company for payments to a policy from July 13, 2024 - July 13, 2025. No such policy exists.I attempted to view information about this policy online and there are not policies associated with my email. I called the 800 number in the emails I received and the automated response indicated there was no policy associated with the number I was calling from.I am requesting the company correct any internal records that may erroneously show an active policy and outstanding balance. I am requesting the company cease and desist sending invoices and other policy-related communications given I am no longer their customer.

      Make note! Changes to my address does NOT give AAA permission to reinstate ANY mailings. 

      I have received the same response on every inquiry. Heed this warning: My ACCOUNT is to NEVER receive any of these types of advertisements in any form to any contact information on my ACCOUNT.

      I hope AAA gets it right this time. Lawsuit is next. 

      Do not test me. Closed, for now.

      AAA insurance was set to be my homeowner insurance and had been set up before closing on my home. I connected with the insurance agent and the mortgage company and was assured that the policy was active and that we were all set. Months later I was informed the my policy was canceled and that they mailed a notice to my home ( not my mailing address) which was never delivered. The agent who sold me the policy has been unresponsive/won't pick up the phone or call me back.

      Dear BBB:

      Thank you for contacting us regarding the complainant's policy concerns. We welcome the opportunity to address any issues raised.
      Our records indicate the policy was written with a mailing address of 171 Wolf Hollow RD, Lake Harmony, PA
      18624-7002. I have attached the signed application reflecting the mailing
      address in question. The policy cancelled on June 4, 2024, due to not receiving the amount
      due. All policy documents and notifications were sent to the Wolf Hollow Rd address. 

      The complainant can
      contact us at 888.222.0094 to discuss new policy options. We hope this provides
      the clarity the complainant was seeking.

      Sincerely,
