You might want to have a tissue handy. This is such a sad story. As promised in yesterday's blog, I did speak with my insurance agent today, actually her assistant, and questioned why my monthly payment was going to increase by almost $10 a month beginning in September. I did get an answer. It turns out it had nothing to do with my recent accident or my age. Too bad, I was kind of looking forward to a good argument, I mean firm talk. Instead their rates went up several months ago but didn't affect me until September which is my renewal month. The reason for this across the board increase? (Cue the violins here) the poor insurance company was forced to raise their rates because everything is more expensive. The cost of accident repairs and car rentals has gone way up. I managed to not get all choked up as I listened to this tale of woe. Then we had more discussion, explored options, tweaked my policy a little, and now, after a small refund, my monthly rate will be $5 less than, rather than $10 more than what I'm paying now. I love a happy ending.
