I had a business for six months where I rented a small space at a local Antique and Flea Market. I went to "Insurance Centers Inc" and purchased ERIE insurance on the space in the event someone would fall and hurt him or herself. The "Commercial Producer" sold me the insurance with the understanding that I wanted it for either three or six months only. She instructed me to simply pay only the invoices that applied. Once my payments ceased, the insurance would cancel.
I just got thru having to pay an amount more than what was originally agreed and I was notified by a collection agency that my account was way over due. Every notification I received had a different amount so I wrote to the collection agency, Erie's president, and to Insurance Centers Inc. asking them to get together and figure out if I really did owe them anything and notify me with a final statement. I apologized for any misunderstanding between me and the Insurance Centers representative even though I thought the terms to be clear and simple.
The only response I received was from a representative to the Erie President saying I needed to pay the deliquent amount of $3.02. In my correspondence, I asked Insurance Centers to contact me and verify my credit rating was not effected as a result of all these intimidating and confusing invoices BUT they never bothered to contact me.
If I ever have another business I will NEVER consider ERIE as my insurance provider. I never had to file a claim with them while I was in business but can you imagine how chaotic it would have been if need be? And for "Insurance Centers Inc" , not my business anymore, not my respect, and definitely not my recommendation. read more
