21st Century Insurance Company Complaint - Ripped off - Auto Insurance
Auto Insurance - Complaint
After buying a new car I thought it would be smart to shop around so I went online and got a few quotes. 21st Century turned out to be priced okay at the time. That was the good part. Now the bads in order...
Upon receiving my contract I learned that 21st Century Insurance is actually part of AIG. Not happy about that considering the damage AIG already did to this economy. Anyway it was too late to go back since my premium was already paid.
Continuing on... A few months later, it happened... I was involved in a car accident (first time ever after 20 years of driving) where a 20-year old punk rear ended me (he was speeding and didn't see me when he was trying to pass from the right). Getting 21st Century involved was a nightmare.
21st Century initially claimed that the other driver was uninsured and that I would have to lose my deductible. When I mentioned I would go file a complaint against the other guy with the police, 21st Century suddenly found that the other driver was actually insured but that they were denying reimbursement of my deductible on the ground that I was at fault! The other guy on the police report had claimed that I had cut him off which was totally not true! I don't know what was the deal between 21st Century Insurance and the other guy's insurance but I suspect they would try anything to deny any payment even when you are not at fault! Anyway, I cancelled my policy with 21st and went to the competition.
My advice to whoever reads this - don't think you will save a couple bucks with this insurance. When something happens you will be sorry...
