Has anyone successfully dealt with Erie Insurance refusing to acknowledge legitimate supplements? We’ve had multiple instances where they flat-out tell homeowners to ‘look for someone else.’ It’s getting frustrating, and I’m curious if anyone has any advice or experience with this situation.
901 Estimating & Consulting – this is exactly what I handle. If you can send me an email with more details, I’ll let you know if I can help.
Years of companies buying business has led to situations like this. Unfortunately, it’s the homeowners who end up paying for it.
The insured has a right to choose their own contractor. Depending on the state, this could be a good claim for a public adjuster.
You might want to consider involving LegalShield. For $30, you can access legal professionals who deal with insurance disputes like this. It could help push Erie to take the claim seriously. [Link: legalshield.landmarksmarketing.com]

That sounds useful. Sometimes just knowing you’re willing to escalate makes insurers cooperate.
State laws vary, but refusing legitimate supplements is a big no-no. Have you tried documenting everything and escalating it to the state insurance department?

Yes, keeping a paper trail is key. Once you show proof of their refusals, they’ll likely back down.
