Nationwide Auto Insurance Complaint - Adds People To Policy Without Policy Holder Consent - Auto Insurance Bad Company Practice
Auto Insurance Bad Company Practice - Complaint
As a former 25+/- year customer of Nationwide they decided to add my over 18 year old (child) to my policy regardless of the fact that he/she already had obtained insurance prior with another company. Nationwide decided for me to still add this driver to my policywithout my consent, prior knowledge, without my approval, and when I asked them to fix it they would not do it. I discovered the change 2 months later (after the fact) in a renewal billing. I have now been double dipped by Nationwide. I am being forced to pay for premium I do not owe in a state where insurance is not even mandatory, for a driver who already had purchased a car and insurance with another company on their own. So long Nationwide... goodbye... I gladly have a different insurance company now. By the way, the new insurance company I use now is much less expensive, by more than half the cost of what Nationwide used to charge me. Nationwide has been ripping me off for years.

One thing to check, if your new coverageis so much cheaper it makes me wonder if it is the same level of coverage you had with Nationwide. Your rate could be cheaper because it is lesser coverage. You do not want to find this out when you make a claim.

You have to disclose all residents of your household when getting a policy. If your child does not drive your vehicle, you can ask to have them excluded, but that means if he is excluded, any accident he has in your vehicle will not be covered. I would talk to your agent because most insurance companies would do the same thing.
