MA Motorcycle Insurance Settlement

[BLaZNKrON]

Anyone else hear about this? I just opened my mail and had 3 large checks totaling almost $2k care of Martha Coakley. I guess Plymouth Rock had been overcharging me for years and there are like 12 other insurance companies in MA that were raping motorcycle riders. Just a heads up. You might have some money coming your way.

That sucks that you didn't get screwed by your insurance company.

Just looked on mine, Plymouth Rock was gouging me, almost $300 coming my way

Sadly my new insurance company is on the list of offenders as well, and my rate didnt change when I made the switch...hmm. Worth a phonecall me thinks.

That was a nice surprise!

I will have to check the list to see if my other ins co owes me also? Probably not..

[mycirus]

Keep your chin up, G-Man. Hold the battle line.

The process of identifying all of the affected consumers and calculating their exact refund amounts is still under way for USAA and NGM Insurance Company (“NGM”).

I had Hanover in 05, & 06. Guess I'll be digging for those policy numbers. Thx for the heads up.

[kato617]

Safety insurance sent me 54 bucks.

[Twheat18]

$67 check in the mail yesterday. I'll take it.

[schleppy]

$167 check in the mail two days ago. I had no idea I was even part of the settlement group. Sweet!

[zombie]

5 checks totalling $450
thieving bastards I fuckin' hate them
Nice that they got caught but makes ya think what have they got away with.

Interesting.. I started out with Arbella.. I can't remember when, but I was using an independent agent and he switched me over to commerce at some point in this time period to get a better rate.

I probably don't have the paper work required to prove anything but I wouldn't mind getting something back...

My bike insurance never dropped really at all that entire period, even though I was getting older, my record was getting better, and the bikes were depreciating.

edit: Woot! I was only overcharged one year, from March 2003 - March 2004, but that is a $200 refund. I paid about $1000 that year for my policy, which means they were really overcharging!

[benVFR]

I would make sure to check the website carefully and if you're due a refund call the insurance company in question.

When I called the independent agent he was *instantly* able to figure out that I had moved back to Massachusetts in 2009 and he pulled up my current address.

But Arbella sent me a check to the address I lived at in 2003.. I've moved 4 times since then. If I had not seen this thread I'm sure that check would not have found it's way to me, and then after 60/90 whatever days it would have cancelled out.

However Arbella was cool when I called and they're going to reissue the check to my current address.

My guess is a large # of these checks are never going to get cashed.

Ouch, I paid $147 for my wee in 2006,2007 up here in the sticks. Why bother paying that much on a bike worth what $4-5000 today? Any idea how much just liability would be? Maybe self insure for the rest?
