A person that is insured by their company hit in the back of my car and I can not drive my car.The insurance company will not give me a rental in or to get to the doctor's,work or any where I need to get to.They did pay for one day for me and that was it and how am I to get around to where I need to get to. Now how in the world is Nationwide on your side it look's like there on there on side! Nationwide has a real problem!!

On July 1 of this year (2009) my wifes and my car was broken into by one theif at the same time. Over 2000 worth of damages. Nationwide decided that two deductable would apply because it was two cars, not one robbery. I complained, but got no where fast. As a customer of over 5 years, I thought I they would have made the right choice and only charge usone deductable. WORNG!!!! So as a good consumer, I started shopping around for another insurer, and switch our policy as of 8/1, to make it worst, Nationwide is charging us a short rate for conceling the policy before the end date. DO NOT BUY INSURANCE FROM NATIONWIDE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN YOUR MONEY AND NOT PROVIDING CUSOTMER SERVICE!!!!

My homeowners insurance has doubled in the less than four years I have been in my home. I have had two small claims (acts of god): a lightening strike and a limb thru the roof. Now I have received a cancellation notice for non payment. NOTE: my insurance is escrowed! They told me I should not have reported the claims. Why do I have insurance, if I am not to report claims?

if you are rear ended and it is the other drivers fault isn't it that persons insurance responsible for medical bills? i thought so. so why are we and our insurance co. paying the bills hoping to be reimbursed.I'm glad we have NC Farm Bureau.my husband was at a red light when he was rear ended by another driver.his truck was total loss. when he gets well how will he get to work they don't offer you enough to buy a vehicle to replace it.and if you find any vehicle it has to be within 100 miles of where you live or they wont consider it. after all they aren't in any pain,and haven't paid anything.wish i could get some one to pay my bills don't you?

my husband is a hunter without a truck it's deer season.if he was well.i don't have any reason to think Nationwide would be on my side or they would step up to the plate pay the bills, wages,and buy my hunter another truck. don't you.if nationwide is going to say they are on your side and do like this I'm not sure i want to know what they are like if their not on your side.what right does anyone have to tell you what kind of vehicle you can have or where you get it or what it cost and how much time you have to find it ? pain wont subside while you go truck hunting.they did try to find a truck for what they offered but they could not find one close to his. do we have rights it was paid for nice truck well kept so does he have to find a piece of junk to drive he was not given a choice on being rear ended why should they have a choice about his truck he paid for a nice truck not a beat up piece of junk and we should not have to pay these doctor bills .

injuries to his back,pain down his right arm numbness in 2 fingers blurred vision,is to start physical therapy soon. can't work for a while it has not been determined how long 2 weeks 3 who knows? it was not his fault. so why should he have to pay anything? and the rental car has to be turned in Saturday even if he don't have a truck.was he supposed to tell the other driver wait till i find another truck Nationwide wont let me keep a rental till i find a truck. it just doesn't happen that way.he has been in so much pain and very little rest since it happend.

My 2002 Taurus that belonged to my brother (that passed away) was hit by a Nationwide client. My agent, the police and their client all agree the accident was his fault. He is 16 years old with a learners permit and ran the light. My car is completely totaled. It really breaks my heart. I was so nice to the adjuster, but I guess nice guys finish last. The adjuster made up a story that a witness saw the accident and this guy thought it was my fault. This guy told the police that all he saw was the vehicle spinning towards him. The police report mirrors his story. And this is Nationwide's sole reason to deny my claim. My neck still hurts 2 weeks later, and my hand is virtually worthless. Everything in my console ended up in the floor, along with my hat and glasses. So, I have hired a lawyer and filed a complaint with the state insurance commisioner. He says I have a solid case. He also says, along with the police and my agent, that this kind of stuff is standard with nationwide. I will wring them dry. Remember, Nationwide is NOT on your side!

My son driving my car, was cut off by Nationwide client, causing collision. Police report cites Nationwide client with unsafe lane change. Nationwide denies any responsibility, refuses to pay damages. My car totaled, estimate 1786.00. No car, no compensation, no recourse.

In May of this year we had received a call from a Nationwide Sales rep. Crystal, regarding a renewal of our auto policy. After review & subsequent reductions in coverages, we asked Crystal about adding our newly licensed daughter to the policy. She indicated that she would send out quotes for approval & signatures pending on her report card & good student discount. We requested to renew the policy with said reductions for approximately 55 per month.

On May 28th we had sent Crystal an email indicating that we had not received our daughter's latest report card & to renew the policy with reductions as discussed. On July 6 we noticed that our policy had increased to over 165 & auto payment was deducted from our account. Crystal was unresponsive to emails so after multiple calls to the sales & customer service dept, we were told that any licensed driver in the household would be covered under the policy without an exclusion. We indicated that were were not provided with this unknown policy & non-disclosure of this information & changes to our policy without permission should be taken into consideration.

After several more attempts to resolve this issue, we decided to cancel the policy & submit a BBB complaint regarding Nationwide's deceptive,inappropriate sales practices & they were unable to provide a resolution. We have also received a credit for the automatic deduction from our bank which the bank agreed the policy change & charges was inappropriate, especially since they were enacted without permission. We have now received another bill from Nationwide requesting approx 206 in fees & threats of collection & hope to enlist your assistance in resolving this matter. I have asked Nationwide's representatives to review the recordings that they acquire regarding our conversations with Crystal in our BBB complaint & other phone inquiry, but only receive inaccurate statements & policy requirements in their decision.

I cancelled my car insurance policy with Nationwide and at the same time, opened a new policy with Geico, for less money. I received notice of money owed from Nationwide in the amount of 72, saying that if I could prove that I had a new policy in place prior to the end of my existing policy, yhis fee would need not be paid. I presented this info. and then heard nothing from them until I received a notice of collection from a collection agency.

I spoke with a collection representative and he told me that it's not good enough to have a policy in place on the same day but you must have 2 policy's at the same time. You do all the right things and still get penalized. I'd like to know how I can get around paying this. It is absurd. This country is going to the dogs. These insurance company's are getting away with murder and I refuse to be taken like this.

Total loss of a 2003 Honda Civic EX. Nationwide lowballs the valuation using ccPathway or NADA values or whatever...systems that dealers would use for example to lowball you on a trade. Still haggling with them with little success. Their response is very slow, taking more then a week to get back with me for a valuation and then rush me to accept because they don't want the wrecked vehicle staying where it is because they are being charged a storage fee. If I'm going to get screwed on a valuation, it can sit there as long as it takes as far as I'm concerned.

I was in a car accident in april 2009. I was hit by another driver who also had Nationwide but he had very limited insurance. Come to find out, after i was rushed to the hospital and still continuing therapy today, that I cannot sue for pain or suffering due to the fact of me having limited liability, but, when i bought my car back in 2005, the guy who sold me the car called his "friend" from Nationwide and signed me up without physically talking to the agent, or me, and what coverage I wanted. I was 21 at the time. i had no clue on what any coverage was about, nor did i know what limited or full tort was. All I remember was the dealer giving me papers and saying" sign here for coverage and your good to take the car today!!"

Well nobody talked to me from Nationwide to explain the diffrernt coverages and gave me the least expenseive, least coverage on myself, and now I'm screwd. As far as I know, they just wanted to get paid and took advantage of me because I was a 21 year old female. Yes I did sign the papers for limited, but this was thrown at me, and pushed me out the door, so they could just get a fast sale.

Please, if you read this, dont be scammed by Nationwide. You should speak to someone about coverages, and know what limited, and full tort is. Oh,Not only that, they low balled me on my totaled car, and refused any recepits to prove the cars value. And, they took 2 months to send me my check, and only gave me a rental for 3 1/2 weeks. I had to take a bus to my therapy, and when I finally got the check after paying my loan off on the other car, I only had 2k for a new car. I could seriously go on more about this company, but I'm just getting upset.
