Insurance Companies Can Suck It

So, we had a storm that blew some siding away from our house and damaged some shingles. We called the company that holds our home owners insurance, and they happily sent out an adjuster. He was a nice guy. He looked at everything, told us what he had found and left.

Two weeks go by, and we finally call to check on the claim. They say that they can't see all the details yet, but that a check has been requested to be sent. We get no further contact from them for weeks, and finally we call again today. This is the response that we get: "You were approved for $1,036, and your deductible is $1,038. So, you will not be getting a check from us. Thanks, and have a nice day."

Wow, what stellar service. No contact unless it was initiated by us, and what an amazing coincidence that the amount we were approved for was $2 less than our deductible. I think something smells fishy.
