JackFlash Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) My suggestion is to destroy the items beyondthe point that they could be sold, before givingthem to the insurance company. Take picturesof the damaged areas and send a copy of themwith the items so that it can be seen that theyare the same items. Furthermore, in regards to this >> But Mitch Wilsonof the Ohio Insurance Institute said insurance companiescan dispose of property however they like.<< The Ohio Insurance Institute is not the governingauthority over insurance companies operating inOhio. They only represent the insurance industry.So, this Mitch Wilson can go piss up a rope. The Ohio Department of Insurance is the governingauthority. They license agents, and they are whoyou go to if you have a complaint about yourinsurance company. They keep those crooks inline. They should have been contacted about thisissue from day one. But, good on our "just_some_dude"(Chris Roblee) to take this to the extent that he did. Still, I would love to see the state Department ofInsurance get involved in this. I'm not even in itand I'm still pissed about what this agent did, andwhat that insurance company allowed to happen. http://www.insurance.ohio.gov/Pages/default.aspx .

just_some_dude Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I never reached out to anyone, but I did post my video on Facebook. One of my brothers reportedly tweeted to some local news channels about it, could be from that... Another brother of mine reached out to some people he knows that work at some local stations.

I spent a little more time reading the article and watching the newscast. I guess I can't complain about the fact that they attempted to cover the story, but they really did do a hack job of it. Definitely would not consider this an investigation. Seems like their investigative team likes to watch videos, make a few friendly phone calls, then just report what they think they know in 5 mins. Great 'news' here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
