Insurance company haters here is something to make your day. LOL Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley announced setlements on Monday with three additional insurers-- Travelers, Fireman's Fund and Electric Insurance-- for allegedly overcharging policyholders. Fifteen insurance companies in total have now settled with Coakley and agreed to return close to $40 million to Massachusetts consumers, including more than $5.6 million in additional insurance refunds for Massachusetts motorcycle owners. "We are pleased that our investigation, which began with a single consumer complaint, has resulted in the return of nearly $40 million to Massachusetts motorcycle owners," Coakley said. "We are very concerned that the auto insurers in this state were abble to overcharge so many Massachusetts consumers on such a large scale." Monday's three settlements resolve allegations that the insurance companies illegally overcharged state consumers for years by using un-depreciated and inflated motorcycle values to calculate insurance premiums. Coakley's office reached similar settlements with 12 other insurance companies last year. As a part of the newst settlements, Premier Insurance Company of Massachusetts refunded $5,000,386, American Automobile Insurance Company will refund $571,394 and Electric Insurance Company will return $123,882 to policyholders in the state. The three insurance companies are also required to collectively send out more than 14,000 refund checks in late October, with an average refund of approximately $400. According to Coakley's office, 1,424 refund checks will be over $1,000, 2,031 refund checks will be between $501 and $1,000, 2,627 refund checks will be between $251 and $500, 3,579 refund checks will be between $100 and $250 and 4,488 refund checks will be under $100. The 15 settlements stem from a consumer complaint filed with Coakley's office from a consumer who owned a 1999 harley-Davidson road King Classsic. The consumer's premiums were alledgedly calculated as if the motorcycle was brand new and worth $20,000 price. By 2008 the nine year old motorcycle was worth less than $12,000. Despite this, each year between 2003 and 2008 the consumer's insurance company allegedly used the inflated $20,000 value to rate the poicy, resulting more than $1,500 in overcharges.

Well I guess there is nothing like a mild threat to get things rolling and PayPal helped get things taken care of. I've used PayPal for a long time and never had a problem with a supplier or eBay seller and had to file a dispute. I placed an order for $147.18 with a company back on 3/17/10 for parts on a bike project. When I checked out I saw they had PayPal so I used that option. Over the last four weeks there have been 4 voice mails left on their system with no reply, 4 e-mails sent with no response, and only two occasions were I was able to actually speak with a human only to be told they had problems with their supplier, yada yada, and the next time on 4/7 that they still did not have the parts for shipping and MAYBE sometime later in the month.......maybe. Weird.....before I placed the order they comfirmed that they had EVERYTHING in stock for immediate shipping. So during that phone call on the 7th I canceled my order. The owner stated that he was canceling the PayPal payment and would refund the amount to my PP account within 24 hours. Let see......from 4/7 to 4/15 ......is more than 24 hours right? Another phone call that went to voice mail with no reply, another e-mail requesting the status of the refund......no reply again. So late last night I opened a dispute file on PayPal. Wrote a nice note to the company stating my position and requesting that it be dealt with to avoid a claim. figured it was worth a shot. Not making any progress with these folks on my own. Stopped by the house before noon today and checked my e-mails. Got one from PP stating my dispute had been canceled. What the hey? Just opened that sucker last night. Checked my PP account and what did I find? $147.18 refund. In less than 14 hours at that! I guess the idea of a PP claim against them wasn't something they wanted. Lil do they know that would have been better than me stopping by with my hickory stick. Was getting to that point. So score one for the good guys. Ok.....vented..... Mike

Last week I posted About poor customer service from JP Cycles concerning an order delay. I cancelled the order last Wed and asked them to return the payment to my PayPal acct. I was told it would take 3-4 days. Checked PayPal acct today and no money was sent. Called JP and was told it takes a while. I asked her when it was processed for return and she got quiet for a minute and said it was processed this AM! So, why did your company sit on my refund all week when it should have been returned right away? It was bad enough to be mislead and delayed on my order. She said that PayPal dont do transactions over the weekend. Told her I used PayPal on weekends all the time and that was a lame excuse. Told them I was finished with them for good. Got into my e-mail and guess what.... there was a confirmation email stating the refund is being processed. It was time stamped at the time I was talking to her. To recap: Delay my parts that was supposed to be in stock then drag their feet on the refund..........One sure way to lose anyones business. They sure lost mine!

I had recently purchased a used clutch master cylander from jbike parts aka Fine Cycle of New Port Richey Florida, and when I received it, I found out someone had butchered the round area where it mounts on to the handlebar. Looked like swomeone had fit it onto a 1" bar. The whole thing was spray painted black, even the sight window. It was sold "as is" but I dropped a line to the dealer. I received a response literraly a minute later with an apology, and he gave me a full refund immediately!!! As far as I'm concerned, that particular dealer is a class act and trys extremly well to please!! If you ever see anything advertised from him, buy with complete confidence that you are dealing with a reputible and honest dealer!! So very refreshing a change from dealers that don't care about anything but your money...

After my Garmin crapped out... and they wanted a minimum of $150.00 to service it, decided to look at a different brand name. Anyone familiar with, or currently using the Sony Nav-U 44C? I picked up one yesterday and I have a 30 day return option for a full refund if I'm not happy. I know it is not intended for use on the scoot, but that is not where I use it. SO, any experience out there with this unit? Tanks much....

and other moving violations. i have been told, that if you get a ticket, for lets say $115.00. i'm told you can send in a check, for $118.00 or $120.00, to cover the ticket. the clerk then sends you a check for the amount that was "over the fine". NOW i'm told that as long as you don't cash that refund check, the case remains open, and never goes against your record. case can't be closed until the "books balance". anyone ever heard of this? just jt:confused24::confused24:

After all these years...and I even took courses on Tax preparation... I never knew this... If I was single and my wife was single and we weren't living common law....we'd be getting a refund of just over $4000 between the 2 of us on our 2007 taxes. Since we're married (or even if we were living common law), we're getting a refund of appx $390. The reason is...as I sadly discovered...is because when the federal and provincial tax credits are calculated, it takes into account the spouse's NET income and since both of our net incomes are considerably more than the tax credit amounts, we both get NOTHING for a tax credit. In short, we are being penalized two-fold because we are married. What a freakin rip off!!! And I would bet that the Canada pension will penalize us accordingly. Time to get a DIVORCE!
