On 3/23/08 a theft occurred. My 2002 Chevy Tahoe was stolen from my residence 1401 Santo Antonio Dr.Colton, CA 92324. I immediately contacted the police department, filed a police report: case#089104648. I proceeded to contact my insurance, State Farm. A claim representative took the facts down and assigned my claim to Jan Guirgis in which she contacted me and went over the facts again. She sent me an affidavit in which I properly filled out, sent it back with enclosed receipts of the after market parts/accessories. Jan Guirgis contacted me once again to go over the facts and record the said. I feel she was aggressive, unprofessional, and she confused me with numerous questions that were irrelevant with this claim, like asking me if i get paid cash or with check?, and repeatedly threatened me. Under no circumstances was I comfortable with the conversation. We were repeatedly arguing with each other. Jan Guirgis pressured me for answers in which I didn't remember. A month and 3 weeks have gone by, I contacted Jan Guirgis demanding to be briefed on the status of my claim, "I'm getting around handling your claim" in a rudely manner and hung up the phone. On 7/10/2008 I contacted another State Farm representative, Nancy at 562-923-7791, to get answers. Also bringing up the fact that I made 3 payments to the premium with no car and no claim result. Nancy didn't have any answers for me, Nancy would call Jan Guirgis looking for answers then call me back, upto this day she has yet to call me back. Exhausted on 7/15/2008 I took it into my hands and called State Farm Corp. Office and spoke to Travis. I proceeded to explain the facts and the wrong doing, the lack of responsibility to fulfill customers obligation and unprofessional staff members. Travis took down my complaint and said he was going to pursue it. Same day Jan Guirgis contacted Elisabed Ramirez, who is also in the policy to go over the incident, in which Ms. Ramirez has no knowledge what so ever. Rudely spoke to her on her working hours, constantly threatened her that the claim will be rejected if she didn't comply with very intimidating words. Ms. Ramirez is under emotional distress which by no means she's in the right state of mind to answer any confusing question Jan may ask her. this claim has caused me overwhelming stress with signs of nervous breakdowns. I, Rolando Parra, have exhausted all means necessary to resolve this claim in a timely and professional matter and State Farm has been negligent in helping me resolve this claim. My last options before i take legal actions, is file a complaint with California Departments of Insurances/ BBB/ Consumers Affairs, and writing a letter to the CEO of State Farm, Edward B. Rust Jr.

Sounds one sided.
Are all of the facts actual and would they stand up in a court of law?

I agree with Phil, sounds one sided to me. Anyone reading the letter can tell the person writing it was not telling the truth.

I also agree with Phil. Mr. Rolando Parra, you cannot argue, demand to be briefed, and withhold information from an insurance company. I seriously doubt that you have "exhausted all means necessary to resolve this claim." In fact, you probably haven't even tried to cooperate with people who are only doing the jobs they have been trained to do. Learn to speak intelligently and politely to people and you will be treated with respect.

Yeah...sounds fishy to me. Either Mr. Parra is attempting to get more than is deserved or is just too dense to understand that (a) the agent he's complaining about probably has more insurance knowledge than the average person and (b) conversations with customers are generally recorded for accuracy. I've actually had agents call me several times to verify facts or clarify information. No problemo Rolando ... that is, if the truth is being told.

Car theft is a serious crime and I fail to see how you interpret what is fact, unprofessional, aggressive and confusing.
Your "demanding" results and "repeatedly argueing" says volumes. Not to mention the investigation by the police, which is certainly involved. I would be interested in hearing your complaint against them.

I would venture a guess, not being an agent, that if you were asked how you were paid, your claims for your 'after market parts/accessories' made up most of a years salary, or a big part of it. This would be a reason for red flagging an account, you are either scamming the IRS or cheating all of us with a phony insurance claim. Shame on you for costing all of us by doing either one, failure to pay taxes on what you are making, or false claims causing our rates to go higher.
The questions may have seemed irrelevant to you, but I bet you anything when the truth be told, you weren't the one doing it.
Hang in there Jan Guirgis. America needs more people like you watching out for us that are tired of people cheating us any way they can.

Hmm. Sounds like a bunch of State Farm agents read this site.

My opinion is that Mr. Parra- with some allowance for subjectivity and passion- is telling the truth!

I have experienced State Farm and their tactacts to deny claims, to try to intimidate, to promise and not deliver, to not disclose their obligations under policy and law. And I believe to be in very good and very vast company.

The web is full of people who have been treated similarly and hundreds of thousands of complaints - regarding this company and others- have filled the State's Attorney General offices and Insurance Commisioners too.

Stand up, Mr. Parra. I did. And I won against them. Or let's say, I got what I purchased and what was rightly mine. And it was a very sweet victory with all the abuse they'd put me through.
Stand up for all of us. Perhaps one day- our legislators will listen and drive these companies into the holes in which they belong.

OMG I can't believe the attacks the readers on here have said, What about what was said leads anyone to believe he does'nt pay taxes? that's so rude. I mean what happened to customer service? Why pay for insurance, if when there's a incident you are up for moral and criminal investigation? they surely don't go through that when they sign you up.
