.....as Long as You Never Need Them Summary:
I am not sure if it was my situation that warranted such a bad experience, but I was a poor, vulnerable college student when I was involved in a wreck in September of 2004.
At the time I was driving a jalopy with dents all around when I was hit by a red light runner. GEICO assigned me an agent. I think his name was Justin Morgan or something like that. It has been a long time and I do not remember everything that was said and done, but it brings to mind a old quote: 'people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.'
To make a long story short, Justin (or whatever the boy's name was) made me feel very lowly, confused and disrespected. I tried to negotiate the settlement amount that I was to receive (keep in mind that I was younger and naive at the time) and he went into this rant about how ghetto my car was. I mean, come on: I knew my car was ghetto but did he really have to be that disrespectful about it? Also, I decided not to settle on account of the fact that I really needed my car and could not afford to go without it long enough to find another decent car for $2,000, and I told him that. Nonetheless, he still hounded me to settle. I felt as if I was being harassed with all the constant phone calls and messages.
I have since graduated from college and I drive a much nicer car, and I wonder if his treatment of me would be different in my current situation. I will never know; I have refused to go with GEICO ever since.
By the way, I am covered with a full coverage policy with a small local insurance company that charged me less than 60% of what my GEICO policy would be. Don't be blinded by the weird money clip or the ridiculous song- there are better insurance companies.
