UPDATE: My Yelp! review and Twitter review brought a call from Allstate. I proposed someone from…read morethe executive office request CarMax reverse the delinquent reports. I was told it wouldn't work. 'What have you to lose in asking? It was Allstate's fault, help me!' E.S., a Co. executive DID call CarMax on my behalf. My credit rating WAS RESTORED. THANK YOU, Erin. It's work, but If you don't try, nothing happens. Escalate issues. Don't give up! My kids launched themselves and ended renting a place together. On their own , not knowing the hell ahead, chose Allstate for car insurance. I bought my daughter Carly a good used car; it was titled to me, but hers to drive and maintain. In her 4th year with the car, there was an accident and an Allstate adjuster determined her car a complete loss. A dollar amount was decided, and Carly, prepared to purchase a new car. Allstate's check took 6 weeks to arrive, & had both Carly's & my name on it? The bank sent it back to Allstate. TWO MORE MONTHS GO BY WITH NO PAYMENT (with Carly's finances a mess), I made the next call. The bottom line from Allstate was: THEY MIGHT HAVE TO WITHDRAW ANY PAYMENT! WTF? 'They don't insure cars titled to a parent, driven by their child?' Caveat to Parents who buy kids a car (titled to parents), be certain you're covered! And when I asked for real honesty re: intent to pay (what we ARE owed), the chances of denying ANY payment, the agent said, 'well it's possible there won't be payment, were still investigating.' Sorry so long, but here's point:

He's experienced and professional, got my two vehicles and home insurance are now all covered with his help. I stood with my former agency that did nothing for me almost 2 years. Trust me when I say I was the most low maintenance client. I never bothered them to do anything they made you feel guilty if you did. This guy is dedicated and he he's transparent in details also.

However, after 6 months they increased my auto insurance by over 20%. They had convinced me to sign up for the "easy pay" plan to save $25 per billing cycle, turns out it's just a way to keep you from checking their rate hikes. I caught the proposed increase and brought it to their attention. The staff I spoke to said, "that can't be right, I'll get back to you once I figure it out!". Only to call me back an hour later, exasperated that "these claims, they keep coming in...". As if that is a reasonable excuse for an unprecedented price hike. I explained that i would change companies. They became very rude and curt, quickly suggesting that I should shop around and they'd be sorry to lose me. Geico offered me the same rate I was paying for the same coverage. I cannot urge you strong enough, these guys have bad business practices. They are rude and unprofessional, and to top it off they'll Rob you blind! TL;DR: Rude and overpriced theives.

The worst customer service. They rarely ever reply back to you even after repeated attempts. Once they get their foothold on commissions from your business they ignore you.

They don't deserve it. I have complained about poor customer service to their management but it still continued. I have given them several chances and they failed me each time. Avoid this company.

Hill & Stone appear to do what a good insurance broker is supposed to do: Find the best insurance at a low price. They are not committed to one insurance company.

Zero stars. Be very careful when dealing with this business. I found that they charged my friend…read morealmost 200.00 more than the actual policy without telling my friend before. When I asked the agent why there was an extra 200.00 on the policy from APIA compared to the policy that came directly from the insurer, he simply repeated to cancel the policy. He never provided proof that my friend was aware of the extra charge nor did he explain the extra charge. When I enlisted various agencies to check on the extra fee, APIA told them that my friend was aware of the fee without providing any documentation. Additionally, APIA refused to refund more than 900.00 in the manner that my friend preferred. Either APIA's systems are primitive or they are very reluctant to refund monies due. And therefore took several months to refund the money and did not even pay interest. Bottom line...BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS AGENT, APIA. COMPARE THE POLICY YOU RECEIVE FROM APIA CAREFULLY WITH THE POLICY YOU RECEIVE FROM THE ACTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
