I got auto insurance w/ collision and paid the policy in full. After leaving their office, somehow the premium went up 70 dollars and they charged me for that. The next day they renewed the policy, dropped my collision, charging me for the renewal minus the cost of the collision. The charge for the renewal plus the 70 came to 606. They refunded the cost of the collision which amounted to 595 and applied it to the 606. At some point during all this they took the lien holder information off my policy. How is any of this LEGAL?

I have a 2005 camry that I will keep for 3-4 years or until 100,000 miles before I trade-in. I was hit by another driver and had $600 worth of damage. The estimate is for the replacement of a bumper (as good as new). Is it better to pocket the money and repaint the bumper (there are a few deep scrathes and a small depression).

It doesn't make sense to me that anyone would want to buy a new car that isn't a hybrid. With gas prices the way they are and the pollution from exhaust it's the only logical thing to do. I think every car manufacturer should be focusing on producing hybrids or other fuel alternatives. I guess it's kind of like trying to give up smoking. (when you know it's bad but you do it anyway.)

Hello,
When I was was young, as in all the french families (by the way I am french) the first of the children who saw a green 2cv pinched the others.
Do you do this also in your country ? If yes do you have any idea where does this game come from ?

details:

I was in a wreck, I was driving in the opposite lane of this car, as I went to merge into the next lane over to exit, another car either sped up and prevented me from entering, when I noticed the car, I jerked back into the lane I was coming from and started hydroplaning, i spun on the road and and the other car started spinning as well and hit a third car, i ended up being stopped by the guardrail, as well as the other 2 cars....my witnesses say i never hit the car, (which is what happened) where the other witnesses say i did...what should I do, I was also issued a ticket for unsafe lane changing which i am contesting.

Hi. Well I'm stuck with this problem. I'm suppose to be moving but my mom and dad are trying to think how are my sister and brother are going to get from Pittsburgh, PA to Carlsbad, CA. I'm not sure wheater the plane or train. But I have a fear of flying but my mom doesn't want me on a train for 2 1/2 to 3 days. But a plane takes 3 hours. I don't know what to do, I was scared of flying ever since 9/11. Flying is new to me even thought I went for a helicopter ride but I heard they're different. What do you think I should do? I know plane are shorter but I don't want to have a fear for 3 hours.

my wife had a car accident where was her fault and no damage to the other driver's car. we haven't exchanged insurance details. I have got advice from yahoo and insurance company to exchange insurance details to each other by law.

I called the guy to ask for his details cos i wanna do so. But the guy refused to give me and all he want is to protect his insurance.

do i have right to ask for insurance details from the other driver even though it's my fault? can i claim?

Alright, I'm building a jetpack and have hit my first problem. I need an engine. Does anybody have any ideas on what engine I should get that has a power output of at least 50 or 60hp and costs about $100 (Absolutely nothing over $200)? Weight isn't too much of an issue, but I'd prefer it to be close to 100lbs. Doesn't matter what kind of engine (motorcycle, go-kart, car, etc.). I think that covers everything. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The dent is on the driver side of a 2006 Honda Civic EX over the rear tire. Should I report this to my insurance company then get it fixed or just take it stright to a body shop? Looks like it was slightly dented in with a shopping cart while i was at the store, not to bad but noticeable with the smoothness of that part of the car's body frame. Which was is cheaper or better for me as a owner, car was purchased in July brand new off the lot of this year.
