Farmers let me down after being a long time customer.
I was a Farmers Insurance customer with my car insurance for 47 years and with my homeowners insurance for more than 30 years. After Farmers paid out a couple of fairly large claims on my home, they canceled my homeowners insurance with a weak excuse that my house had increased in value by an amount more than they were willing to insure in my area (near Eagle Mountain Lake in the 76179 zip code). With this cancellation I had just one month to find a new policy. I was concerned that this might make it difficult for me to find the best deal, but I was surprised to find that no one else wanted to insure my house due to my relatively recent claims with Farmers. I cannot believe Farmers discarded me with just a month's notice knowing the difficulties I would face in finding a new policy. Speaking with my Farmers agent, I learned that she had known of the predicament I was going to face for over six months but had chosen not to share that information with me so she could try to find alternatives and retain me as a customer. Ultimately, she had to admit that she had no viable alternatives, and I finally found a no-name insurance company for my home, which I question will even pay if I have a claim. I could not be more disappointed in how Farmers Insurance and my Farmers Insurance agent treated me after all the years I remained loyal to their company. I would also like to point out that it took three years and the engagement of lawyers before Farmers completed the repairs that ultimately led to the cancellation of my policy. I had always believed them to be a very reputable company but have come to regret my confidence in them. I never thought Farmers would penalize me for having a claim after going so many years claim-free. I hope you have better luck with Farmers than I did if you find yourself facing a large claim and I hope they don't drop your insurance just for asking them to provide the insurance benefits you have paid for during all the years with no claims. I now give them a one star rating for leaving me in such a predicament when it was completely unnecessary.
