I had an interesting phone conversation yesterday. I called Good Sam's GMAC insurance regarding a letter that I received from them. The letter stated that there was some urgent information missing from my policy and for me to contact them immediately. My policy expiration date is April 20th. Three weeks ago I received my renewal and mailed a check to renew my policy. They sent the renewal to my new physical home address.

The urgent information they referred to was my address change. Here's the kicker: they want to increase my premium $76 (for 6 months) or $152/year. My zip code is different now that we have moved, but we still live in the same town. I explained this to the agent.

Sounds like a rip-off to me so I told them I was not going to pay the increased premium. I reminded them that I have been a good customer for many years. This didn't seem to make any difference.

So I told them to cancel the policy!

I'll be calling Thum Insurance this morning to get a quote.
