USAA - Not paying for stolen enclosed trailer that we have coverage on....
Regarding the theft of our 2 year old enclosed motorcycle trailer-- Today I received this email from USAA Insurance Company. Not only do they value the trailer at $0.0 dollars, they are requesting the registration, title, and documents. USAA came highly recommended. Now, I'm finding out otherwise. We have pictures, title, registration, etc. It was all on the police report that was submitted to the insurance company. I called today to speak to anyone who might be able to discuss the matter.....Of course it's Sunday and nobody is in the office. So I started to question the biggest supervisor I could get ahold of and ask why they would send out news like this on a weekend and then not have anyone available to help out. She tapped danced all the way around the question. We keep trying to move forward from this fiasco.....But, this insurance company keeps turning the knife just a little bit more with each day....They are treating this as three different claims. 1. Trailer- $500.00 deductable; 2. Contents- $500.00 deductable; 3. Motorcycles(2 ea)- $500.00 deductable each.....So, my next favor to my riding friends is that you spread the word that USAA does not treat their veterans any better than any other insurance company out there. I did advise them that I would be copying and posting their letter to me in as many places as I could find. Friends, this is why we pay insurance premiums. To have that peace of mind that we'll be taken care of when things like this happen. Clearly, my trust has been breached.....
