Kara of Issaquah, WA October 3, 2009

1) I moved from Las Vegas to Seattle and when I moved to Seattle, I called Farmers numerous times to change the renter's insurance. I was told it would take awhile to reflect on the statement..I waited 5 months and I called again and the person I spoke to said no one ever made note of the fact that I moved to Seattle, they still had it under the Vegas address- every record.

2) I asked them to add my husband to the policy when I moved to Seattle. A year goes by and I have a relative visiting from Europe. I call them to ask about the policy on international driver's referring to the policy number which should have both my husband and I on it. They said they only had me as a driver- I asked, "so my husband is nowhere in this policy?" Yep, for a year and a half he was driving the car and his name wasn't on the policy. Go Farmers!!!

3) We finally came to a point where we wanted to cancel. I called about cancellation and this said this is for you and Justin right? who the hell is Justin because my husbands name sure as hell isn't Justin. Guess what?! They had it as Justin all this time. His name is Jack. Justin from Jack?! How in the hell. One can only imagine what they were on. Farmers agents are completely INEPT AND INDOLENT.

a) my husband emailed them with his name on several occassions- wouldn't they have though- gee, who is Jack? It's listed as Justin here. Nope, guess that didn't raise any red flags with them -DOH! b) We scanned and sent them our licenses - shouldn't that have the correct spelling on it?! I would rather each shit and die than ever have to go with them again. If life meant no insurance or Farmers I'd DEFINITELY PICK no insurance.

My 17 year old son was stopped at a light and a Farmers insured vehicle cut the one behind him off. Both ended up slamming into the rear of my son's vehicle. After much screaming about my son driving what may be an unsafe vehicle, Farmers finally got an adjuster out. 8 DAYS LATER. Vehicle is totatled. Farmers didn't tell us this their adjuster did. A week later I had to call them to get this information actually from THEM. Now they are trying to nail the vehilce she cut off for a portion of the liability (meaning Farmers pays less) and still two weeks later my son still has no answers. He has already been found not at any fault, yet he is the one who suffers. He's only able to afford the very basic insurance (130.00 am month for liability and uninsured) and has no means of replacing the car and no alternate means of transportation. Now they are telling me it will be another week until the other insurance company can call them back regarding the fault issue.

I was hit by a car while I was riding my bicycle. The car is insured by Farmers insurance. I helped the adjusters, Mara Golden, in order to get my bike fixed. In the end she is saying it was my fault and she will only pay %20 for my bike repairs. My bicycle is my only means of transportation and now I have to wait for this small claims case. Is there anything that can be done about this.

My wife was involved in a car accident. She was at fault. Farmers determined that the car was a total loss. One full week after the accident they called with the settlement amount. It was extremely off base. WE did our homework prior to the offer to determine what the same car in our area was selling for. So when they called we had some knowledge as to what the settlement should be. Our car should be around 9,950 before tax, title, and license. They offered us 7,700 total. The way they came up with this number is that they found the ones in the Portland/Vancouver area coming in around 10K so they found vehicles 150 to 300 miles away in completely different markets for less so they based their numbers off that. They also took the price of these comparable car (in other markets) and deducted things from the listed price to make them worth less.

With their offer I am unable to buy another car that is even close to what I had. I live in the Portland/Vancouver area and they are pulling number from different markets up to 300 miles away. Spokane and Seattle have a completely different cost of living and pricing. I do not live near those cities. In the market in which I live it will cost me around 9,995 to go buy the exact same car that was totalled. The adjuster Trasen A was also extremely rude and nasty on the phone. Horrible person to work with.

We have been with Farmers for the last 8 1/2 years. My Car: 2001 Honda Accord EX Coupe 4-cyl excellent condition both inside and out. Flawless. These cars do not stay on the lots long because they get 32 miles to the gallon and they run forever if taken car of. Very nice car. What can we do? Who can help us? We need another car but need the money from Farmers to do so. We have not signed or accepted anything yet. Please let us know if you can help.

Farmers client drove a car hit two students in high school parking lot from their behind, the students suffered a lot of pain and their family paid out a lot for the car accident. However, Farmer just offers medical bill and general damage. They ignored our family loss (parents wage loss for this accident) and child mental and future loss. Their adjuster just consider their evaluation and ignore the factor and our loss. I am very disappoint with Farmers and their adjuster.

total loss is over 22,000 currently. they just compensate 1/3.5 for medical and general damage. I just mention most of you to seriously consider the company when choose a ins company. Farmers is one of worst company on compensation.

Back in january of this year, I requested a change of our deductable on our new 40' motor coach. This was done on line at their website. After hearing nothing for a week or so, I called and spoke to the assistant. Shortly after, I did receive and e-mail that my request was taken care of and would be processed as of the date Jan. 22. Weeks went by and every time I checked my account on line, it was never adjusted. So, again I called and got my agent Greg Layne. Oh....I'll check it out and call you back. This was now Feb. 17th.

One more week goes by, another phone call. Oh...he'll call you when he gets in the office. I waited until the end of the day, and called THEM back AGAIN. Oh...he's been in and has left already. HELLO....talk about lack of customer service. Mind you, we have 4 policies with these folks, and have paid on time for over 12 years!

Well, the good news is, I checked into Geigo Insurance. Funny, my yearly premium for JUST the motor coach, with better coverage went from 2,546.00 down to 1,126 a year!!!!! Over all I am saving approx. 1,600.00 and let me tell you, Geigo NEVER seems to have a problem taking my calls. I think Farmers are rip off artists, buyers beware. Farmers needs to review their agents and make sure they know what customer service is really all about!

I was involved in an accident on August 21, 2007. I was not at fault. I have documentation from my doctor showing my release date back to work, in addition I have documentation from my employer showing my wage loss. I was out of work from August 22, 2007 through September 17, 2007. Farmers Insurance only want to reimburse me for two weeks of lost wages. Farmers has stated, Based on the nature of the loss, your injuries sustained and the course/scope of your employment; we have determined that the remaining days of lost wages will not be reimbursed. Since when did Farmers become qualified to over-ride my physicians diagnosis as to my condition? This accident was very traumatic not only physically but emotionally to me.

I had just bought a brand new 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer in November 2006. My vehicle received 11,569.82 worth of damage. The frame on my vehicle was damaged as well. I had over 3000.00 worth of medical bills just to one doctor. I was not trying to get reimbursed for any of my prescriptions or copayments to my PCP. I just want what is fair. Their client was totally responsible for all injuries to me and destruction of my vehicle. In turn the loss wages, medical bills and restoration of my vehicle is her responsibility and her insurer. I have provided this company with everything they have asked for and have a lot of time and effort into getting this all accomplished. This has cause more stress in my life than any one person should receive.
