Glad you said dont call the insurance company. I did that once when a basement wall had to be replaced. They wanted to re-inspect the house to make sure it was still up to their standards.

Even if you're calling to ask a question about coverage, that contact is recorded, and can count against you when it comes time for the policy to be renewed. (Why would you be asking, if you didn't perceive a possible risk of loss, is the justification.) If you have questions about your coverage, read your policy. If you don't understand what it says, consult someone other than your insurance agent or anyone else with the insurance company. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.

Blatant Plug: Books for the Pacific Northwest gardener: http://www.holzemville.com/mall/nwgardener/index.html I"ve never had a problem talking to my insuran ce company and not identifying myself but having my policy in front of me. The last time I did that was when I was checking on my auto and home ins about foster chiled impacts. AFTER I'd found out it was OK, I wrote letters and made it official. Never had a problem with that or other such dealings in CA, Il, and now NY. Pop |
