CALEDONIA, MINNESOTA -- Nationwide Housing Corporation has ignored several requests by emails and letters as well as emails I have left for them on their contact page a few times over. I left 2 messages several months ago and 1 message recently. The one time I received a response was in recent time I contacted HUD to get a response from them, then I got a quick response from them in a letter sent through email by HUD, but not the one I wanted. Merri Miller, one of the regional managers at Nationwide Housing Corporation said that my neighbor committed no lease violations and therefore would not receive any infractions (write ups).

My neighbor lies a lot about me and the dogs, she is known around here for harassing, especially me, though lately she has kept her mouth shut with me but I don't know when that will change again. She calls the cops a lot on people. She'll either overreact to the situation and make the story sound 3 times worse than it actually is when talking to the cops or she'll lie and call the cops. I figure she has probably called the cops on me several times over though they aren't out here to see me that much.

My neighbor complains about people and to people, calls the cops on others when cops are not needed, lies, harasses, and is an all out nut at times. Cops don't do anything about her, neither does manager here at Whispering Pines Apartments here in Caledonia, Minnesota. And neither does the Nationwide Housing Corporation. Several times over I have made requests to all these places. Several times over, I'm ignored. But as I've mentioned, I did get one response after I contacted HUD to contact them, but of course, harassment is not a lease violation.

Recently, after sending another few more emails, I was able to get hold of someone who is the Director of Property Management. She said she'd get to it as soon as possible. That was a few days ago, still waiting for a reply and sent another email reminding her in recent time of what I wanted.

Nationwide Housing Corporation does not care about me, you, or anyone else here. If I were you I'd not do business with them and certainly don't rent an apartment here at Whispering Pines in Caledonia, MN because whether you are one of her victims or an innocent bystander, you will eventually find out how she is to people. The last cop who was at my door I hear is her friend, at least that is the word around here. She is really nice to the new people so beware because sooner or later she may turn on you.

Nationwide Housing Corporation and Whispering Pines Apartments only care for the rent check. They don't have any feelings toward the people who live under their management. My suggestion is, just don't do business with this corporation or with Whispering Pines Apartments here in Caledonia, Minnesota. Save yourself, go somewhere else. I moved in in December 2015 and craving for justice.

Moving to another apartment at this time would only reward neighbor's behavior as she been trying to force me out.

Nationwide Is Not on the Consumer's Side
By -

DES MOINES, IOWA -- Tuesday, Aug 10,2010 a Nationwide insured hit our car in the rear while it was stopped. The car was not drive-able and it was after 5 pm so it was towed to a storage lot. Rental car was not furnished until Friday. The following Monday or Tuesday, the claims representative for Nationwide calls and says our car is totaled and commented about how clean the Nationwide adjuster said it was. His first request was that I call and release the car from storage so he can have it towed to Nationwide's lot. I agreed to that.

The next order of business is to offer me $3849.60 for our vehicle and said it would cost around $4200 to fix. We bought this 2000 Accord EX V6 new in Sept. of 2000 and it has been cared for which attests to the 381,000 miles on it. It has brand new tires, brakes, alignment, and less than 20,000 miles on timing belt change. Needless to say, I thought he was joking. He was not.

I explained to him about the vehicle and he starts about the mileage (and hasn't let go of that) and valuation by the company they use. I of course told him that was ridiculous. Also that I was getting angry about this offer and we shouldn't talk right then, to call back tomorrow. He called back the next day and upped his offer to just under $4500. I had been on the internet pricing like vehicles and using on line pricing calculators found the value to be around $6500.

NADA = $7075; Edmunds = $6425; Kelly Blue Book = $6530; Auto Trader = $5500-$9000/aver =$7900; Lemon Free.com/national avg.=$6741, <200 miles from me = $6598, 184 EX's < $10,000, only 28 EX's < $5000. After I refused this offer, representative said the rental car would only be paid through the next Wed. I said that would be fine. We didn't really need it anyway, we had gotten by without it the 2 days before they had arranged for one.

I had found an identical vehicle in GA for $6900 and emailed the representative on Thursday that I would take $5500 then and turn the rental car in on Friday and go buy the car on the weekend. He declined this offer and reiterated the rental car expense would not be paid after Wednesday. After Friday I withdrew my offer since the car would be sold over the weekend.

Status quo had been maintained until last week I was told by representative that they could no longer store our vehicle and would need a place to tow it. Yet another strong arm tactic to get us to settle. I gave him a friend's address that agreed to keep it for us temporarily and it was towed there on 10/7/10. The appraisals Nationwide uses are way off from the aforementioned companies.

The 1st dealer on their appraisal list was quoted a "take price" of $5614 that didn't have the options our car has. Then the appraisal company starts deducting from that price. The dealer was asking $6,990 for a 2000 Accord EX V6 that he had on the lot. He didn't have the one that was on the list. The 2nd dealer on the appraisal list didn't have one since the appraisal was given on 6/3 on a vehicle that didn't have the same options and our accident was on 8/10. The 3rd one was a dealer in Huntsville which is out of our area anyway and their car didn't have our options either.

Nationwide leaves me no alternative but to take them to court and I will have my day in court. I am going to do all I can to expose Nationwide's claims practices and their appraisals which in my opinion are bad faith examples.
Nationwide or any other insurance company is not going to run over me and my family. This could have been settled easily if they only had tried to be fair instead of greedy.

Nationwide Housing Corporation Keeps Denying My Requests

NEW HOPE, MINNESOTA -- I am currently seeking justice with the Nationwide Housing Corporation, management here at Whispering Pines in Caledonia, Minnesota, and with the Caledonia Police Department.All who have ignored and denied requests to do something about my neighbor.

Neighbor is well known around here for lying, harassing others, calling cops, etc. etc. etc. She lies to people and says I knock on the bedroom wall and that I've knocked on her door a lot to bother her, and also that my dogs bark a WHOLE LOT.
When they hardly ever bark.

Neighbor makes false claims about dogs and me. Tried to pin me for abuse and neglect before too but it was a no go. Cops don't do anything with her, management here at Whispering Pines doesn't, neither does Nationwide Housing Corporation.

Neighbor keeps trying to force me out using dirty tactics to try to get her way. She is real nice to people when they move in. Don't get taken by her. Better yet, don't come to Whispering Pines in Caledonia, MN because eventually you could end up on her hit list as I and some others have.

Neighbor is rotten to your face, uses cops to harass, and is an all out nut. She is nice at first to you, but sooner or later you will find out she is not a good person, whether you are her next victim or just a bystander, you will find out. It is best if you don't come to Whispering Pines, and it is best you don't do business with the Nationwide Housing Corporation.

Nationwide Housing Corporation doesn't give a *** about you or me.They just want your rent money.

Reason of review: Nationwide Housing Corporation only cares about the rent check, not about me or any of the other tenants living at Whispering Pines here in Caledonia, MN..

MARION, SOUTH CAROLINA -- I was with Nationwide 40 yrs. What a joke. They decided to rewrite my policy after 40 yrs. Ok, I thought, so they did and every thing stayed the same for a min. but that was in reality a ploy to screw things up later. Everything ok for the first 6 months then up goes the policy for no reason. When asked about it, I got the song and dance that all of you have gotten, so I was forced to get other insurance because I did not have 10 hrs a day to play with them on the phone.

Well it seems they did not like that idea so they have conveniently lost payment and want me to do all the hoop jumping for them. You know send me this, send me that, prove this and that, because they cannot keep track of their agents. (News flash: not my job.) So it has progressed to the state insurance office and they made an agreement with them. Then one month to the day Nationwide starts their stuff again with me. I was threatened with they would cancel my insurance before the date it was canceled so I would have to pay a penalty to the state for this. Now that sounds like extortion to me.

So I would not recommend anyone to get Nationwide Insurance. This is like dealing with the mob. As for Nationwide I will pay the state before I will pay them hands down. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER will I ever have Nationwide Insurance again.

Nationwide Is NOT on Your Side!!
By -

LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- I was hit by a driver covered by Nationwide. She ran a stop sign and totaled my car. The next day (a Monday) we reported the claim. I was told that Nationwide would get back to me the next day and have an adjuster go look at my car. I waited, they did not call, so we called them. Mr. ** (the agent) told me that an adjuster still has not be assigned and they will get back to me later that day when one will be assigned. We called later on (around 4pm). And still, no one was assigned to go look at my car. I asked about getting a rental and their policy states that we (the victim) have to pay for the rental upfront and they will reimburse me (only up to a certain amount, that is).

This was extremely frustrating! At the time, I was working 2 jobs and babysitting. I could not be without a car! The next day I call Mr. ** and he finally gives me the name and number of the adjuster. I call the adjuster repeatedly and he does not get back to me until hours later. He tells me he has not looked at my car and that he is going on vacation the next day so someone else will be looking at my car and they will contact me the very next day. And the next day comes and no one calls, yet again. At this point me and my family are furious because after all, I was the victim in this situation.

I wait until the next day and call Mr. **'s office over and over again and I leave him a message stating that I will be contacting a lawyer. Finally, after 5 days of waiting for someone to look at my car (the car that their driver destroyed), my mom became fed up and called the head office in Ohio. She spoke to someone by the name of **. After hearing out story, he agreed to grant us a rental and he told us it WILL be paid for by Nationwide upfront. We had to email him a copy of our insurance policy and that was it. That evening we go and pick up the rental at Enterprise. At this point they are on the same page as us. They understand we are not paying a cent.

A few days later we finally get the check for the damage since my car was determined totaled. By the time this is said and done it is mid-May. Now, in mid June, Enterprise calls us up and tells us we owe them the money for the rental and that Nationwide did not approve anything. At this point, we are so sick of the situation, we basically say "screw it, not our problem!". Enterprise threatened my mother with putting this on her credit report. So, now, after enough damage done by Nationwide, my mother's credit score is now going to greatly affected in a negative way. I don't understand why they couldn't pay for a rental like they should and get me my check in a timely fashion.

After all, this accident was NOT my fault at all. Nationwide is full of crooks and I would recommend avoiding them at all costs because they will not help you.

Lies to Customers Just to Get You to Buy Their Policy
By -

ORLANDO -- Abney Insurance Agent for Nationwide and the company of Nationwide itself. They was called after my son had to borrow my husband truck. Which was about a 30.000.00 dollar truck. Well that after the dealerships puts their nails into your coffin. But anyway, my husband bought the policy from one of the agent there and was told the price of the policy with my son living with us. Then he was told it would be cheaper if he just excluded him from the policy. Then my husband ask how long will he be excluded, the agent replied for as long as he lives with you. And after he moves out he will not be excluded anymore. So my husband sign the contract and left.

In Jan 2007 my son moved out of my husband house and moved to bell Florida. He came down here one weekend in March and ask my husband if he could borrow the truck for something and my husband said OK. My son took the truck and did whatever he was to do. He was coming down a dirt road and a deer came out of the woods in front of him, he then swerved to keep from hitting the deer, he lost control of the truck, it rolled over. The police were called and then my son called his father right after the police. My husband being concerned about our son, he ask "are you OK son?" He said "yes I am OK."

My husband and I DROVE DOWN there to make sure he was OK. We wasn't worried about the truck, it was covered by insurance. We could replace the truck, that was the least of our worries. My son and my husband called Nationwide and told them what happened.

Nationwide called a few days later to say the truck was not covered. When we ask why, it was, "well your son was exclude from the policy." No he's not, he no longer lives in our home. We provided the proof that they needed. A statement from his landlord and his PO box were he got his mail. They then said that the info should have been provided sooner like the day he moved out. OK, why was I not told that when I took out the policy? "Well sir it's all there in black and white." My husband explained he did not read it before he signed because he trusted the agent.

All the agent said was as soon as he moves out he will no longer be excluded. He wasn't told anything about having him send something to the agent the day he moved out. My husband would have never loaned a 30.000.00 dollar truck out if he did not think it would have been covered by his insurance. I called the agency to make sure he was no longer excluded, they said "no he his not excluded."

The next month my husband got the bank statement and his statement from Nationwide, they had put Jonathon back on his policy as a driver since April. I called to take care of it and the lady I spoke with said she didn't have him put on the policy, she only had him unexcluded. These people at Abney and Nationwide, they are not on your side.

Bad Glasses

SUPRISE, ARIZONA -- I purchased a pair of glasses back in Dec 2012. When I picked them up I started wearing them . Well they gave me a headache. I called the company and took them back, 3 times we did this. Picked them up the last time and they told me there was nothing else they could do for me. So I kept them. I tried to wear them and they still gave me a headache.

Now I am in Idaho and I took them into an Eye Dr. here who checked them out and low and behold they were off ( The PD) they were off 7 mm and off 8 mm to my old glasses to what they were supposed to match. They were supposed to be 30.5 on one side and 31 on the other side. They even built 2 other sets that were done in the mean time and they all gave me a headache.

Now my Eye Dr would like 158.00 to make them right. Why should I pay him when I have already paid to have them fixed and they could not fix them. NATIONWIDE IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE

Adjuster Was Dumb or Trying to Rip Me Off

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA -- My car was hit by a Nationwide insured individual. The appraiser they sent out wrote an estimate for 1/3 of the damage as if they expected me to accept it. I have years of experience in auto repair and pointed out the frame and structural damage and he ignored it all. This is after 3 days of car sitting wrecked and no offer of a rental. It would seem to me that Nationwide policy is to rip people off for the actual money, as when I complained he was defended by company. I wonder how many thousands of people have been shorted by Nationwide, seems like criminal behavior to me.

FRISCO, TEXAS -- Nationwide in an attempt to get out of paying hail claims has been selling a product that limits your right to make a hail claim to 6 months! If you travel or just didn't notice that the storm that passed had hail that damaged your roof but not your car, you're screwed! My elderly neighbor called in about her roof leak. Nationwide sent THEIR adjuster to inspect the damage. He agreed that the roof was damaged due to hail but refused to pay because it was past the 6 months!!!! The agents in most cases are not even aware of this BS but they will sell you that policy anyway! Nationwide is on who's side????

Charged for Somebody Else's Policy

GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA -- I noticed that there were two withdrawals from my bank account for an unknown person's policy. I immediately called the Nationwide corporate office. First, they did not appear to believe me. They wanted MY policy numbers and MY bank account statement. I told them to contact my bank if they did not believe me and my bank confirmed that the withdrawals had been made from my account. This still did not satisfy the person on the phone... she seemed to imply that the problem was my fault.

I resented having to present MY bank statement to show that money was being taken out of my account. I hung up and decided to try to deal with the local agent. I told him I would come in to the office today. I am very busy with end of the year teaching duties and do not have time to spend hours first on the phone and then traveling to an out of the way office. The agent did not have the courtesy to be there. I was angry to say the least.

There is no reason why I should have had to share my private bank statement for a mistake they clearly had made. Also, the women in the office were extremely RUDE. I am ready to go to the police since this is clearly a case of theft. This is not the first time we have had trouble with this company even though we have NEVER had a car accident and only made one claim on our homeowner's policy when lightning hit our well pump thirteen years ago.
