NATIONAL, NORTH CAROLINA -- I cannot believe the mess that is Geico Insurance. In a dozen phone calls, literally every representative has told me the other reps you spoke to either told you wrong or did the wrong thing, and the adjuster did the wrong thing. So if my experience is correct and this last representative was right, 11 out of 12 Geico reps and/or adjusters do not know what they're doing. It isn't me saying it- it is their own reps.

My car was hit by a runaway tire when the car was parked outside of a garage. The owner of the vehicle that lost a wheel (he had rotated his tires the day before and apparently forgot to tighten at least one wheel down), was insured with Geico. Since I have had Geico for at least 13 years, I thought it would be easy to get this settled. WRONG!!! It is now about 3 weeks since they assured me the money would be deposited into my account and there's no money.

Every single time I have spoken with Geico, I have been told something different. The first call, they told me they would email me a link before I saw the adjuster so I could give them the information to deposit funds as soon as the claim was settled. They didn't send an email. I called back. That representative told me I was told wrong by the representative I spoke to previously and that the adjuster would take care of that, and gave me the adjuster's name and contact info. I was told he would arrange to see the car within 72 hours, and would call me within 24 to schedule a time.
I didn't hear from him, so I messaged him. He didn't reply so I called a day or two later. No response. So a couple more days go by, I call again and this time get a voicemail saying he is now on vacation. He was not when I first contacted him, but now he is, for a week.
Back on the phone with Geico Claims. They get a supervisor and assign a different adjuster. He is easy to work with, looks at my car, tells me he will have an amount in a while and I will have the funds in my account by the end of the week.
I ask him about the email and told him I never gave Geico my account information. He assures me they have it and I am good to go. Because I pay electronically, I say okay, if you're sure. He says he is.
Weekend comes, no payment. Monday, no payment. So I contact him, he contacts corporate and gets back to me to tell me he has checked and double checked, payment has been sent and he has no idea why I don't have it. This really freaks me out. If they sent payment, where did it go? Did it go to someone else's account? Do I have to prove I never got it and will this take a long time?

Back on the phone with Geico yet again. They tell me they sent an email with a link for me to follow to give my account info and that it is probably in my SPAM folder. I look, sure enough. It is in my SPAM folder. So I click on the link and it is no good. Back on the phone with Geico. She tells me someone should have told me to look for the link because it is time sensitive and has now expired. She has to cancel it and resend a current, working link. I get it within a few minutes, enter my information and see that it can take 3 days for the money to show up. So I patiently wait 3 days. Since a holiday was in those days, I give it 5 days. No money.

So I call Geico again. This representative tells me she is sorry, but the email was not ever sent. I say yes it was, as I followed the link and I still have the email. She says it could not have been sent because there is no record. I tell her I can send her both emails if she wants, but no matter. She tells me she has authorized the payment and I will get the email, but it could take up to 3 hours for me to get it. After 5+ hours, I call Geico again. This time, a man looks in my file, says the payment was authorized and the email will be there but could take 24 hours. That is not what happened before and goes against the 3 hours I was previously told, but no two reps have EVER said the same thing, so what the heck. I wait 24 hours. Then 48 hours. No email, no payment.

Back on the @#&%!! phone with $@@%#! Geico. This time the representative tells me the payment was NEVER authorized because the adjuster did not complete all the steps. I tell her all about the emails saying "Geico has sent a payment" and she says no, payment couldn't be sent because "John" never completed the process.

So now, despite the two emails I got (one expired and one that just didn't work), despite my numerous conversations with John, the adjuster and his calls with the total loss team (and I heard him speaking with them), I am told I must wait for a couple more days for them to get in touch with John and for him to complete the steps, then allow a few more days for payment to be authorized and an email sent, then up to 3 more days for them to complete the transfer once I get the email.

The thing is, if this is the case, how come nobody called me to say "I see you were waiting on payment, but we hit a snag. It will be a couple more days and we're sorry"? Why did anything only happen when I called them???? Why did they only assign an adjuster who would answer my calls when I complained???

I suspect the answer is simple: their "simple and quick" claims-handling process is neither simple nor quick and nobody has responsibility for staying with a claim from beginning to end like a local agent would.

I originally told them I didn't want a rental car. I wish I hadn't. I believe if they had been paying for a rental car this whole time, they may have had some motivation to make things right. I was trying to be easy to work with, hoping they would appreciate that and turn around and treat me right. Instead, I lost money on the car and missed 3 opportunities to purchase a similar car because Geico made promises to send the money but never did.

Never, ever, have I dealt with a company where literally every single representative tells you that every other representative has told you the wrong thing. Seriously, in a dozen phone calls, each representative has said, basically, "the other representative didn't know what he/she was doing but I do and this is what is going on."

DOES ANYONE WITH GEICO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING???

Geico Insured Driver Rear - Ended Wife's Car and You Won't Believe the Rest
StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarBy -
Rating: 1/51

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE -- On a clear, dry, sunny day, my wife was exiting a 4 lane to join another 4 lane. The 3rd vehicle in front of her started swerving, the 2nd vehicle took evasive action, the work truck in front of her stopped and she stopped. An Impala behind her hit her and pushed her into the work truck. She bounced back and the Impala hit her again and she hit the truck again.

The driver of the Impala rushed up, apologized, and showed her and her passenger a cell phone with broken glass with a comment, "The phone hit the windshield so hard, it broke the glass." It took 58 days to finally decide the car was totalled. I called Geico on the fifth day to ask for a rental car.

The adjuster said that they would not provide a rental as they would only accept 100% of the damage to the rear and 50% of the damage to the front. She said she had a recorded conversation with the truck driver who said she hit him first and then was pushed into him. The truck driver told the investigating officer, who was on the scene within 5 minutes of the crash, "I heard an impact and then I was hit twice."

Over a year later, a supervisor at Geico Atlanta later on told the Agent from TN Insurance Dept while responding to my complaint that he talked with an HR guy from the truck owner's business that "The driver was told not to talk to anyone about the crash and that all calls were to be referred to this HR guy." Does that mean that the adjuster LIED about the "evidence" she had? That would be insurance fraud. The driver of the Impala also had changed his story to say he SAW her hit the truck first.

At first my insurance company bought the lies and was about to accept the liability that Geico stated. I hit the ceiling. I went to my agent and she called in some favors and got them to fight the liability. I had to hire a crash re-construction engineer for $1500 to read the "module." A module is a computer attached to the airbag system that records lots of data about the impact. Since I paid only for the data, I got a 25 page data description. I talked to the engineer who explained some of the data. I asked him what was the easiest way to explain to my insurance company what happened.

He said, "That's easy! The accident happened as THE OFFICER reported." On the 58th day the decision was made to total the car. It wasn't till the 253rd day that Geico LOST an arbitration with my insurance and had to accept full responsibility. In TN you can collect from the offending insurance company a reasonable amount for "loss of use" of your car even if you did not rent one. That took another six months and all they would pay was $32 a day which is THEIR rental cost when the average rental for a larger SUV was $60. Screwed me out of the difference.

Through a chain of "supervisors" I found that everyone I spoke to lies at some point. They also respond to everything you say with the same phrase over and over. They would not pay for pain and suffering as my wife and her passenger did not run to a doctor even though the literature says that a double crash at the speed of 45 to 50 MPH (data report) can create a whiplash that might not show up for two years. They did not settle with payment until the 253rd day.

The car my wife was driving was purchased 4 months before the accident. We were able to replace the exact car and had to pay another $1900 for sales tax on the second car with no reimbursement for that or for the crash reconstruction.

I gave all this info to the District Attorney in the county where the crash occurred seeking reckless driving, lying to an officer writing a report (phone being able to hit the windshield was probably being used and the DA's office can get that info from phone company as a citizen cannot), and attempted insurance fraud. I also asked that first adjuster be cited for insurance fraud. Haven't heard anything. The guy that hit my wife's car at this point got off with no punishment for his part in this event.

Update 05/18/2018:

My suggestion out of all this: If you are hit by a Geico Insured obtain competent legal counsel immediately especially if there is extensive car damage or any injury. Be proactive from day one.

GEICO Is a Fraudulent Company -- 12 Year Customer; Canceled Policy Effective at 12:01 AM, 11/5/2016

Rating: 1/51

FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA -- I have had GEICO for 12 years and this year (2016) I have had 2 total loss vehicles in 2 month due to other driver in each accident being under the influence. GEICO mislead me throughout the process, low-balled me in every way possible, and lied about the vehicle replacement program known as "GEICO's Car Buying Service." This ISN'T a vehicle replacement services!!!

Once I found this out I called my claims adjuster W. ** who said he would put a hold on everything as requested, call the total loss adjuster, and put a hold on any further action until I was given a chance to review things. I was the owner of each brand new car not the driver.

When I met with the adjuster in person to sign the title I told him I just buried my kid brother and I was on sedatives, and to please explain things over and over. He knew I was in mourning and on nerve medications because I had to ID my dead brother's body after he was already decomposing. Right there by law he should have rescheduled to meet again when I was not on medications.

Furthermore he had me sign the name for my daughter on the title and she is over 18. Another reason things should have been placed on hold! I beg everyone to take the time and read your policies, and reconsider your relationship with GEICO to keep from going through the stress and financial loss due to their lies, poor internal communication, etc.

Shut Geico Down

MACON, ARKANSAS -- Back on December 21, 2012, I was rear ended by a driver insured by Geico. The police charged the person that hit me with Reckless Prohibited Driving. The office that handles my area is in Macon Georgia and ** my adjuster. Between ** and Geico given the runaround, and trying to choose which medical bills and/or prescriptions they are going to cover, ** also lied me to on several occasions.

Around 4:00 pm on Friday December 21, 2012 the traffic in front of me had started to back up. To keep a safe following distance and keep from hitting the car in front of me I had to reduce my speed to 20-25 MPH. Shortly after reducing my speed I found myself looking up at the roof of my car with my world spinning wondering what happened. Once I gathered my thoughts, I realized I was rear ended so hard that it broke my seat and I was laying flat on my back.

When trying to get my 2009 Chevy Impala from the center lane of a 6-lane highway to the shoulder I noticed an awful noise coming from the back of my car. The collision was so hard that one of my rear tires was pinned by the fender well keeping it from freely spinning. My car had to be towed from the scene of the accident. Somehow, Geico lost my car for nearly two weeks after it left the tow yard and arrived at their repair center. Once they found my car and did an estimate, the adjuster told me that they stopped doing the estimate once it got near $8,000.00 worth of damage.

Going back to the evening of the wreck, I went to the ER and was diagnosed with whiplash, after about a month of no relief my doctor had me go to physical therapy for nine treatments, which did not produce the results they had hoped to receive. Therefore, my physical therapist contacted my doctor and he scheduled an MRI. The MRI results showed a posterior labral tear of my right shoulder caused by the wreck.

Once ** found out about the internal injury, she told me that will automatically trigger policy limit. I asked ** how much is that she replied it is the state minimum which I expected her to say even if they had a million dollar policy. I asked is that $25,000.00, knowing that Arkansas minimum is $25,000.00 just to see what she would say. ** said, "€œYes $25,000.00."€ Seeing how ** told me $25,000.00, I was fully expecting that I would receive what was left after the medical bills were covered.

About two weeks later ** called me offering $5000.00, which was very different from the $25,000.00 she told me just two weeks prior. When I asked her about her statement, she denied she ever said $25,000.00 and tried to justify her statement with more lies. Just my lost wages, mileage, and over the counter expenses are nearly the $5000.00 they offered and that is before my medical and prescriptions are covered. My current medical expenses counting prescriptions is nearly $18,000.00 and I still may require surgery to fix the tear.

After I refused their 1st offer I also requested a different adjuster because I no longer trusted ** after her multiple attempts to lie to me and play me for a fool. Geico has refused to let another adjuster handle my claim and Geico came back with another offer of $6000.00 that is before medical bills are paid. If I accepted their insulting offer of $6,000.00, I would still be out nearly $12,000.00. I do have Uninsured/Underinsured and Personal Injury Protection on my policy.

However, I do not feel like my insurance should kick in until Geico pays at least $18,000.00 to cover all my current medical expenses. If Geico would just cover all my current medical expenses to include prescriptions and offer 2 years of coverage on my shoulder that was damaged in the wreck I would not even ask for anything for pain and suffering. An auto insurance company specially one like Geico should not be allowed to pick and choose which medical bills they are going to pay. I have a feeling that my doctor and orthopedic surgeon knows a lot more about my medical needs than a low budget car insurance company. Please do not allow Geico make you a victim.

Great while you pay, Terrible when you need help

We were rear-ended July 3rd 2009. It is now Aug.52009. Money for totaled vehicle not in my hand yet, rental due on the 8 of Aug. I had to use my own Geico insurance because the lady whom rear ended us (reckless driving) lied about it twice therefore extending the time for us to get a rental while the wife goes to therapy.

I am allowed only 30 days rental on my own policy Geico doesn't want to extend even though they feel for me due to their very late provision of the money for our 2005 Scion which they gave me way below their market value. Now we have 3 days to find a vehicle, oh and we were told we should have been shopping already, really? How do you shop without knowing what your limit on spending is? We just found out the amount 24 hours ago. As a victim (police report and witnesses testimony) we are being treated by our own insurance company as if we were the ones who rear ended ourselves.

The ones at fault have full coverage insurance but Geico took over the case and is hanging on to it until all is settled, but according to their rep, they were to switch all over to the responsible party as soon as they admitted guilt. They admitted guilt and Geico did not do any switching. They refuse to talk to me about the low amount for our totaled vehicle. The wife is going to therapy can't raise her arms above shoulders, sleeps on sofa due to our bed being to low for her to get up. Is in constant pain, but this is non of Geico's concern, their hands are tied (according to them) it is like they are defending the lady who totaled our vehicle.

We have an attorney thank God. He already pre-warned us about Geico's practices because he used to work for them, so we will soon have all that under control. Geico's people make changes to your policy and situation when you have an accident and never inform you. They are your best friend and very understanding as long as you don't ask for help when you are clearly a victim. Good luck getting a return call from any of their reps or their supervisors.

One of my best friends is an adjuster for an insurance company I shall refrain from mentioning so he doesn't lose his job, and he told me exactly how they were going to play it all out step by step. He was right on as if the whole thing was played out per a script. I would never recommend them nor use them at all again. Here is some good advice, should someone hit you and you find out they have Geico insurance: don't bother calling them, turn the matter over to a good attorney and save yourself the trouble. When explaining something to you they use a lot of fancy words to tell you, you are ** out of luck. Geico employees would make great filibusters.

Rear ended by GEICO policyholder, her policy lapsed after the claim, no $$
By -

On Sept. 29, 2009, I was hit in the rear end by a woman driving a 2008 Nissan Versa. She was going approximately 25 mph when she hit me, I was at a complete stop. She pushed me into the car in front of me. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, though I did end up with whiplash. I called GEICO the day after the accident (9/20/2009) to start the claims process. I was given the name of an adjuster (a/k/a adjuster #1), along with her extension. I called and left a detailed message with my cell number to call me back on. I didn't hear from anyone for over a week but received a letter in the mail from adjuster #1, stating that she had been trying to get into contact with me.

I called again several times, rather than leaving a message until she finally answered, on 10/9/2009 and I finally was able to get an appointment with the GEICO adjuster to get an estimate done on my vehicle, scheduled for almost a week later (10/14/2009), 15 days after the accident. The day before I was to go have my car estimated, I received a message from the man I hit. His message was that he was supposed to go that day to pick up his check to pay for his vehicle and was told there was a problem with the policy, and it was being reviewed and until resolved, there would be no payment.

I went to my appointment the next day and was told by the estimator that he wasn't authorized to make payment at that time. He indicated that there was possibly a problem with the property damage coverage, that perhaps the policyholder only had $10,000 property damage coverage, and since there were multiple vehicles, we may not get full payment, depending on both our estimates. My estimate ended up being $6,700. After I left the estimator, I called the person that I hit after being hit, and he said his estimate was for $5,200, thereby putting us roughly $2,000 over what was possibly her coverage limit.

At that time, I tried to contact adjuster #1, but as usual, got only her voicemail. Her voicemail gave an alternative extension to try if she was unavailable. I then called that person, a/k/a adjuster #2, and was told by him that upon his review of the file, he didn't see any problems and would send the estimator an email and payment should be available within 30 minutes.

I called the estimator, who said he would be in touch shortly, hopefully with a check. 10 minutes later, the estimator called me to let me know that upon talking to adjuster #2, there was still issues on paying the claim, and there would be no payment yet. I called adjuster #2 again, and he said there should be a decision by the end of the week. I called adjuster #2 that Friday 10/16/2009, he still didn't have any information.

At that time, I called the person I hit, and he said he had tried calling adjuster #1 the day before, and since it was after hours, had reached someone else, who told him that it appeared that perhaps the policy had lapsed the day of the accident and that they were reviewing the circumstances. I attempted to contact both adjuster #1 and #2 repeatedly for nearly a week, and finally called after hours that next Thursday 10/22/2009, and talked to a woman who, upon reviewing the file, said she didn't see any reason that they weren't paying the claims, according to the notes she had.

She gave me the extension for the direct supervisor of adjuster #1 to call the next day, a/k/a adjuster #3. I called adjuster #3 on Friday, 10/23/2009, didn't reach him and left a message pretty much begging him to call me back. He didn't, so on Saturday, 10/24/2009 I called and reached another after hours person, who also reviewed the file, and said the only problem she could see was the property damage limits. I told her at that time that I, as well as the guy I had hit, were both aware that this may happen and wanted at least something, even if not full payment. She took the information, gave me adjuster #3s direct supervisor, a/k/a adjuster/supervisor #4s extension to call on Monday 10/26/2009 if I still didn't hear from anyone.

Today, the 26th, I was still waiting to hear from someone when the guy I hit called me to tell me he heard from adjuster #1 (shocker!) and they were denying the claim, with no further explanation to him at the time. I called adjuster/supervisor #4, whose voicemail indicated she was out of town for this week, and left adjuster #5s extension if there were problems. I actually got in touch with adjuster #5, who initially said he saw that payments had already been made to the policyholder on her claim and he didn't see any reason we weren't being paid.

However, as he kept reading the file he came to the part where they were denying the claim. Apparently, on September 25th, the policyholder received notice that her policy was going to lapse if payment wasn't made within 15 days. According to adjuster #5, the policyholder sent in the premium within the 15 days in the form of a check. After the accident, and apparently after GEICO paid her $13,000 for her vehicle, the check she sent in was returned. According to him, the policy than was considered lapsed as of Sept. 25, 4 days prior to the accident. Now neither of us are getting paid; however, the person that caused the accident has had her vehicle repaired.

Is it legal for GEICO to go back and back lapse a policy because of a bounced check on a premium? Is there any recourse for us, other than taking the owner/driver to court? It seems that if the policy was reinstated when she paid the premium, even if after the accident, a check was returned by the bank, the policy should have been in force at the time. Does anyone have any suggestions? We do live in Florida, and neither of us had collision coverage on our policies.

Making a claim
By -

A few months ago, I was rear ended by a rental truck. This truck was merging into the traffic and had a yield sign, which in my opinion the driver did not obey or he would not have hit my car. Thankfully, I was moving very slowly when I was hit. Actually I was hit 2 times. This was the height of the evening rush hour. I called the police and all this time truck stayed behind me. All the other traffic was passing. The driver of the truck said he did not hit my car. Excuse me, but the force of a truck bumping a car is not as great at when a car hits a car. This is just a little common sense.

Anyway, after Geico investigated the situation, the truck rental company claimed there was not damage to the truck. Again, big truck little car and this is a rental company so I am sure there are a lot of scrapes on the bumper, but not according to the truck rental company. There are numerous scrapes on my bumper. So after calling and calling Geico (by the way, they are not my insurance company) they finally said there was not enough evidence to support my claim.

I was so taken back by the result that I couldn't even respond to the claim person on the phone and I just hung up. I was told to call my insurance company and let them handle the claim. Why should I call my insurance company when it was not my fault. That night I sent that person an e-mail with a question that I expected a reply to. But of course, once they are finished with you they no longer want to know you or reply to any questions you may have.

It seems their major priority is not consumer relations, just flooding the media with stupid commercials. I did not make any false claims, or claim that I was injured and had to go the hospital. Maybe I should have, I would have gotten better results. It seems it does not pay to be honest, you have to make a big deal out of things so you can get results, and in this case have my car repaired as I deserve to have done and not through my insurance company. Just feel I have to let the world know how this company handles claims if it is not something major and they feel they can get away with it.

THEY ARE DOWN RIGHT LIARS!

FLORIDA -- Geico Insurance should be considered the next ENRON! Not only do they lie to you and take your money, but when you file a claim it gets even worse! Last November my daughter had an accident in our 95 Eclipse, total damage estimate was in the $6000 range (initially).. ended up taking over 2 months for the repairs to be completed. When we went to pick up the car, found numerous problems, car wouldn't start. When they closed the hood they blew the a/c hose, (admitted they had installed the wrong one) and put too much freon in.

After 2 days the a/c went out... called Geico and they refused to repair the a/c stating it "Was Not" accident related! GIVE ME A BREAK! It worked FINE before the accident! I can go on and on about that ordeal! Needless to say the claims adjuster no longer works there!

This past Dec. the car was broadsided in a mall parking lot and again we called Geico to the rescue! Another mistake! Total damage estimate $3480. It has been almost a month and a half and car still is not fixed! Got a call today from the body shop and was told they found front suspension problems which they didn't see previously, and will cost an additional $2000.

We called Geico and told them we want the car TOTALED! They refused, and gave authorization to the shop to fix the front suspension! We are talking almost $6000 in repairs that they are covering on a car that is worth $3400!! Give me a Break here! Talk about a waste of money! I don't know what to do first, buy them new batteries for their calculators or call an attorney! I think I will do both, right after I contact the Insurance Commissioners Office! STAY AWAY FROM GEICO!

Happy with GEICO
By -

I'm afraid of the possibility of GEICO dropping my 18 year old daughter from our insurance policy and I've been researching GEICO practices. I have to post praises for GEICO and the manner in which they have handled our claims. In February 2009, my daughter decided to pass a man who was traveling rather slowly. It was a bad decision on her part since she was on a two lane road and it was a no passing zone. The man admitted that as she began to pass him, he wanted to "encourage her" to not pass him on the dangerous road so he sped up and crossed over the center line into her lane!

The two cars side-swiped each other and my daughter lost control of her car. She went off the road to the left and then across the highway before coming to a stop on the right. She was lucky that she was not injured, but the car was totaled because of the concrete mailboxes she hit along the way. One post went right through the windshield! GEICO is arguing with the other insurance company that my daughter is only 30% at fault while they claim she is 50% at fault. It is 11 months later and that claim is not settled, but I praise GEICO for the manner in which it was handled. My daughter's car was totaled and GEICO paid us more than we expected to get for the car.

They called us numerous times to give us updates with the claim. They could not have been more helpful and always answered when we called them. Six months later, my daughter ran into the back of someone while in bumper to bumper traffic and going really slow. The other vehicle had a scratch (literally) on the bumper, but my daughter's 2nd car had complete front end damage. I took it to a repair shop where the GEICO representative is located and begged the representative to fix the car and not total the car. I was tired of shopping for good used cars! The repair job was just under 75% of the car's worth (which was $7,000) and they fixed it in a week.

We were again very happy with GEICO's service. NOW... my darling daughter who can't drive very well ran a red light and was hit by an oncoming car as it was turning left. Her car has significant damage to the passenger door but we have no intentions of having it repaired. (WHY bother?). The other vehicle needs a bumper and a fender. We offered to pay for these repairs out of our pocket to avoid an insurance claim, but the other driver has now filed a claim with GEICO. I will not be surprised if GEICO decides that my daughter is too dangerous and drops her from the policy, but I have to say that we've been very satisfied with the manner in which they have handled each of these claims.

Failure Of Geico Agent To Fully Disclose Terms Of Auto Accident Settlement
By -

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA -- My Subaru was hit and totaled by a Geico insured driver in February of 2007. My air bags deployed, I was unconscious and suffered other injuries. I finally agreed to a $5,000 settlement in May of 2008, only to be told a year and a half later that this amount was simply to cover the money they had repaid to Medicare for my medical costs as a result of the accident. When I received my first letter from Medicare telling me that I was to repay them, I called Geico and was told my another Geico agent that the only monies Geico had paid to Medicare was a check in the amount of $10.50. In my opinion, this is out and out fraud on the part of Geico.

NOW, Medicare if asking ME to repay them for the $854.45 they paid on my behalf. When I complained to the Geico agent who handled my claim, he said, "Oh, I told you what this $5,000 was for, and since its been such a long time since we settled, I am sure you will never hear from this in this regard". Well, guess what? My letter of 10/13/08 from the Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Contractor states, "Your failure to respond as requested within (60) days of the date of this letter may result in the initiation of additional recovery procedures without further notice, including referral to the Department of Justice for legal action and/or the Department of the Treasury for other collection actions".

I am 75 years old with social security being my primary source of income. I don't have $854.45. The Geico agent handling my claim called me two weeks ago to say that he had successfully settled any claims that Medicare might have with them, and consequently, myself. Doesn't appear to be true. I went on line to find out who is on the Board of Directors of Geico, and I will begin to file my complaints with each one of them. I will also write to Warren Buffet. Probably won't do me any good, but I have already written several letters to Medicare, and they don't seem to be working on my behalf either.
