Jim, was very efficient at the start of policy (Aug '25). Then, Jim was able to issue a full…read morecoverage auto policy with a reasonable rate in Maryland. It was with a subsidiary of State Farm, GainsCo auto insurance. Never heard of the company. However, fast forward, when hitting a snag via the online payment portal, it didn't recognize the policy # being inputted in the system. GainsCo customer service may as well be non-existence. All modifications must be completed by the initial insurance representative who began the policy. Due to GainsCo archaic system & poor instructions by customer service, the payment ended-up being late. Maryland insurance compliance do not play. They'll charge approximately $200 for insurance non-compliancy in the state. I was advised by GainsCo agent, prior to making payment, the deadline will be 11/11/25. Insurance canceled on 11/10/25. Jim, the State Farm (GainsCo) agent didn't mitigate circumstances, to waive late fee or reinstatement process. They simply penalized me for not being aware of how to use the archaic online system. If online account numbers isn't entered correctly, it will not populate account payment information. Who knew? This was the first & will be the last payment to experience such awful customer services. When advising Jim of the dissatisfaction received by GainsCo, Jim simply agree with shopping market for another policy, elsewhere. Hence reasons for not completing a google review when starting the policy. Whatever happen to good (not even great) customer & product services. The real satisfaction arrives in the duration of contract (policy). It's difficult to refer anyone to companies who provides convoluted policyholder interactions. Prior to payment, it was requested to sign a "loss of property" form, indicating no damages was done to vehicle due to cancellation. I've paid the late fee, reinstated the policy & presently searching for a more reputable insurance agent & firm. This is not It!!

I scheduled an appointment at this company in order to get tax advice concerning draw-down of…read moreretirement money over the next 30 years. I'd been working with a Vanguard advisor since 2013, but they do recommend you also check with a CPA to determine how to best plan for tax efficiency year after year. I went to the appointment, was kept waiting a bit (no big deal) and once I was in the office this person (Tatyana) looked at my paperwork and started in on me with a very hard sell to get out of the market and let her manage my retirement. I said, "I just want some advice on managing my tax exposure on an annual basis". She said, "I have all of my clients out of the market" she showed me a chart of market trends since 1928 forward..."the market has risen ***% since blah blah blah. How long do you think that will go on????" You are not safe in the market, now. (Well, I've been through the 1999 crash, and fortunately was smart enough to balance my investments before the 2008 "great recession") Tatiyana's pronouncements are scare tactics to doubt what you know and your own investing knowledge and skills. She was not pleasant and was extremely arrogant. She told me to think about it, and come back in a week. I did not go back. Don't go unless you are a lamb wanting to be sheared/fleeced.
