Last fall, I "backed into" an
illegally parked car at our old apartment complex. I am a decent person, so I went to the office to tell them what happened. The girl who drove the car was on her dad's insurance, so we pretty much dealt with him. I thought we needed to split the cost to fix her door, and that we should deal with it out of insurance. My husband, and of course the chick's dad, didn't think that was best. My husband thought our insurance would not go up very much, and that it'd be easier and cheaper up front to turn it over to insurance. I went along with his opinion.
Fast forward to 3 days ago, when I got our renewal bill from State Farm. It turns out our insurance premium had gone up over $300 for our 6 month bill. I was beyond livid. They classified me as a "4" driver, even though I've had a clean record prior to that stupid incident. In case you were wondering, a 5 is the worst. That seems a little extreme to hike up our insurance so much for something so minor. My husband called State Farm and pretty much got no where with them as far as lowering out bill. I'm sure they don't care, but they lost our business over it.
