(31,382 posts)being projected on radar later today for the Beaumont area look pretty severe!
It is exactly 10 years ago today that our house was destroyed by fire. Yes, the insurance company tried to screw us on replacement
cost of the house, although they gave us no grief on contents claims. We ended up having to hire a public adjuster so we could get
enough to pay off the mortgage (while we were expected to continue making payments on a burned down house) ! And thank goodness for the Democratic
Commissioner of Banks in NC (at the time). The mortgage holder refused to adjust our adjustable loan balance when we sent them the
first check from the insurance company that paid down about 2/3 of the loan balance. They wouldn't return our calls. They ignored letters
from our attorney, but when I filed a complaint with the NC Commissioner of Banks, boom! I had a phone call from the mortgage lender
within a week apologizing for "gee, they couldn't understand how we fell through the cracks".
Believe me, there is a value to a Democratic administration in government agencies designed to protect citizens/consumers.
Holding good thoughts for you and the water staying in the ditch!
