On July 21, **************************************************** *****, ** for an oil change. The technician told me that everything was fine and there were no leaks. 34 miles later my engine locked up leaving myself, my Army veteran husband, and his service dog stranded on the side of the road. We had the vehicle towed to our home, and the next day the DM came out and took pictures. My husband also took pictures showing that the oil had been significantly overfilled. I was given a claim number and told to contact the insurance. I have called nearly daily and left voicemails for the adjuster ***** who has not returned any of my calls. My vehicle had no previous issues and I'd sitting useless in my driveway while I'm still having to pay for it.Business Response

Gallagher Bassett is who has been issuing my paychecks due to being on workers compensation. They are the adjusters. My first issue occurred with my checks being sent by mail and getting lost. At this time I did not know direct deposit was a option. I went almost over a month without being paid. Still having to make doctors appointments and therapy appointments. When one of the checks arrived I took it to my bank. Only to have it bounce back due to someone putting a stop on the check. The matter was resolved after speaking with a company rep. I was also informed I can set up direct deposit. I was sent a direct deposit form in the mail. I filled the form out with all of my bank info on it. Paid 27$ for registered 1day mail. When tracking it days later it said delivered. I sent the adjuster a email asking to confirm the form was received. The adjuster then told me he wasnt sure and to send in another form. The form was sent to me and filled out. I didnt have another form to just fill out. I went as far as to call my company for assistance and both parties told me I should fill out another form. I then asked if it was a online method because I am no longer comfortable continuing to send all my bank info in through the mail. Only for it to get lost. I still have not gotten any reply or update as if my emails are getting ignored. This company does not care about peoples livelihood which I guess is to be expected from a company. When I asked who I can make a formal complaint or grievance to. I was told they just didnt know and couldnt tell me. All while not being paid any mileage for appointments or any hrs for appointments.Business Response

Gallagher Bassett apologizes for the inconvenience this situation has created. The Branch Manager of the branch where Ms. ******* claim is being handled spoke with **************** on 08/25/2022 to discuss Ms. ******* direct deposit request.

Confirmation was received on 08/29/2022 that Ms. ******* claim is set up for direct deposit and that future payments would be issued to her via EFT rather than paper check.

My husband was involved in a ********* comp claim on 6/16/2022 under ESIS on July 1, 2022 his claim was transferred over to Gallagher Bassett and he was assigned to Senior Claims Manager *********************************. We didn't obtain ****'s claim number until the week of August 1, 2022 and the on-line claim information that he wasn't able to obtain any information regarding his claim. I called Corporate 8/11/2022 to have my complaint escalated and on 8/12 after weeks not hearing from *******, *****, or Gabe my husband receives a call he is denied benefits. I am livid as her tone and language was completely unprofessional and should be addressed. I am going to make this complaint go very high as no one should have to deal with this type of service. Unbelievable the treatment he received and know we have bills that have mounted because of this and he was out of work for 6 weeks with NO PAY!!!!!Business Response
