Hi all. I have had Progressive Insurance for 2 years with no problems. I recently purchased an 04 Busa in Apr 04 and added this to my policy. At first, I got Liability w/Fire and Thieft, and no collision. I paid $476 per year which I paid off within a week of getttig the policy. I decided to refi with my Credit Union because of lower interest rate and worker protection (if I loose job the CU will pay for bike until I get another one). I called into Progressive to get a quote for Full Coverage. My policy renewal is in Oct so they prorated the amount for Full Coverage (1,004). I thought that this was pretty high, but when I called other places, they were more expesive. I was told that they would deduct a set amount each month until the $1004 was paid about $200 a month. Everything is working fine, they are deducting the amounts for my Checking account...I do not like Bank Drafts...the idea of a company having access to you checking account, but this was the only way Progressive would allow me to pay out the add on of Collision.
In June, I dediced to change my checking account to my Credit Union because my old bank charged fees for everything...but it was a so called free checking..Nothing is Free!!!...Anyway, I called Progressive to let them now that I am changing checking accounts so I send them the new Bank info for Bank Draft. Everything is set...I asked the Cust SVC Rep if I would still be on the same schedule...She assure me that nothing would change except the new Bank Account. She also told me that I would need to send in a manual payment because the Bank Draft in time for the July Payment. So, I send in this amount thru Online Banking. I check my checking account...and I see two entries for Progressive 1) the Manual Payment 2) A Bank Draft of $400. I called Progressive to find out why they deducted $400 from my account without notifying me...All they could say was that nothing should have changed and that they have the policy paid off before Oct. I was pissed because this threw off my checking account...I asked them, "Are you that much in a hurry to get your money, we have 2 more months to pay off this policy" They had no explaination...This made me even more upset...I have paid everything ontime...never late...and then they pull this crap...
Sorry for the long post...I am looking for a new insurance company...Most companies in Texas want a lot of money for a Hayabusa...Can anyone give the name of some companies that you have a good experience with?
