[18:00]	IsambardPrince	GEICO quoted me $300 cheaper for my next car insurance term. They're also somehow half the price as last time I had them.
[18:00]	IsambardPrince	They do a lot of nasty things though, but insurance be like this. :P
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	They sent me a "surveymonkey" link once telling me that I told them I drove 6,000 miles a year, which at the time was accurate, and that if I didn't respond, they'd re-rate me as driving 12,000.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	I replied and stated 6,000.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	They said thank you for your reply.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	I replied well ahead of the deadline, even though the email had gone to SPAM.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	Then on my next renewal my price went up.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	I asked why, they said sometimes it goes up due to reasons.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	I looked and they had reset the annual mileage to 12,000.
[18:02]	IsambardPrince	I complained to the state Department of Insurance, and they forced GEICO to change it back and refund me $55.
[18:02]	IsambardPrince	Then later I had a glass claim. My contract with GEICO said that I had a $0 glass deductible, the claim was determined to be not my fault.
[18:03]	IsambardPrince	They reported it to CLUE, causing all other car insurance companies to rate me higher, then said no fault meant GEICO themselves wouldn't.
[18:03]	IsambardPrince	So I contacted the Department of Insurance and complained again.
[18:03]	IsambardPrince	6 weeks later I got a letter from a GEICO office in Georgia, stating they contacted the consumer reporting agency and deleted the claim from my CLUE report.
[18:04]	IsambardPrince	Then I got a letter from the CRA stating that they deleted it due to the data furnisher requesting deletion.
[18:05]	IsambardPrince	The funny part was that the Department of Insurance charged GEICO a $500 administrative fine for raising my car insurance the $55 they had to give back to me due to the mileage survey.
