Swindled

By Can2 - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Houston

Today, I called my auto insurance company to try to get some discounts and lower my rate. I ended up adding $30 to my monthly payment. FML

do you guys not have comparison websites in the u.s ? Always threaten to leave, they need your money.

Don't you just LOVE sales people? Sometimes you have to bite your tongue, say no and no again and threaten to drop the policy all together if they cannot help you.

Should have left well enough alone. You live you learn.

my fiancee did that same thing. So to fix it he switched to a different company. when he made the "break up" call explaining the new company was cheaper, they offered a discount. try it, it might work :)

Time to shop for a new insurance company. I had the same issue once. I don't use my car nearly as much as I used to so I called the insurance company thinking my rate would go down for being used less. Instead it went up because it was reclassified as a "pleasure vehicle". Then I went insurance shopping and found I was paying way too much with the old company.

Sounds like what happens every time I call uVerse

haha I bitch every month and get like month credits half the year and pay 30 bucks for the 24 mbps internet they want 120 for... threaten to cancel document their f up and names. go to management. they tell you there isnt a discount you say bs.... there is always a better rate credit etc. I know their system .

f your entire family's lives. how does that work???? you go to McDonalds for a job and come home paying them 15$ an hour full time ? I've got this fence you would like to paint ? yes ? wanna buy a bridge to no where ?

This is why I never talk to a real person anymore, if I can help it. I do all my research online first and sign up online too.
