When I called Allied, they said all my policies had been cancelled – the policy periods run through Nov/Dec of each year – and that if I did nothing, the agent would send me a new policy underwritten by a new carrier and that I could sign that OR I could find another agent that writes for Allied and see if the new agent could either a) uncancel my current policy so that it would continue or b) write me a new policy with new terms (at new rates).
So, it is a cancellation and the agent is attempting to re-write my policies.
Allied thought it would be hard to uncancel the policies and that I would probably have to have a new agent write new policies with new terms. So, they DID cancel my policy.
They also didn’t call me to tell me they no longer represent Allied. I checked to see who they represent now and I have never heard of any of the companies. Solvency is a concern.
So, I don’t want to work with this agent anymore – I consider this pretty sleazy. They could have called me and told me that if I wanted to stay at their agency I would have to give up Allied and then explained my choices.
I didn’t ask to have my Allied policies cancelled and now it will be a major hassle to get a new agent, write new policies, etc.
Anyway, I need to find a new agent that represents Allied and other reputable insurers. Any suggestions?
