| cexytoga's Full Review: GEICO Direct |
We signed up with them a few years ago because they were the cheapest. Well we found out why. My husband bumped into our neighbors car. We saw no damage done but told them anyway because we were friends and it was the right thing to do. They weren't supposed to park there since it wasn't even a parking space. A month later I get a call from their insurance about an accident. They were claiming $700+ in damages. My husband called Geico and told them what happened. We had proof that we didn't' cause ANY of the damage with pictures, measurements and the fact that most of what they were claiming was impossible for us to have caused by the way we bumped them not scraped them. We pulled out of our parking space and bumped them on the tire. You could see the dirt print from their tire on our bumper. They were claiming paint damage, dents,scratches, bumper damage and anything else they would stick us with. Geico said they would get back to us. They didn't. They said they would look into it. They didn't. We were supposed to be sent a summary of what happened. They didn't. Pretty much they didn't do crap to protect us from a false claim of damages when we had proof they were lying. One look at pictures and measurements and you could see that it was impossible. We weren't denying we hit them if we caused damage we would have paid no problem. We were fighting all the money they were trying to get out of a no damage accident. So now our rates our high and we are stuck with them until this minor accident is off our record and can change to a company who will listen and do their job.
