Finally Sent

Unitrin didn't think it was necessary to postmark any official paperwork to us eariler than Monday.

. . .17 days after the accident, and five days after their phone-relayed $2,600. . .

The "prior unrelated damage" in their opinion is a $1,700 job, or would have been, if the car still existed.

My letters to them explain the value of a Toyota is not in how it looks, but that it runs forever in a reliable manner.

Their paperwork did not demonstrate the cost of the damage actually related to the accident.

Also not factored in is the inconvenience of our having to go to a notary - now, if we submit to their request to transfer power of attorney and the title. It's not free, it's a PITA to converge during the day, it's annoying, and it's all part of the collective knowledge that is never passed down to anyone that "it will take four to 40 weeks to resolve any insurance claim filed in the United States of America, and the process will be akin to walking blindly down a dark passage toward an unknown destination."

Rod? Staff? Are you there?

(Ha, ha, as if I have ever had a proper staff.)
