After being a loyal employee of USAA for 10 years, I was layed off in 2006 due to downsizing.Because of my drastic drop in salary while searching for a new position USAA retested me for reemployment in September 2007 and sent me for a drug test which were both passing and basically rehired. Until they ran my credit and realized it had gone poor they decided i did not qualify for the position because of the credit issue and did not actually hire me. A month later in October of 2007 i had to declare bankruptcy because I had really fallen behind in all of my debts, mortgage. Being insured with USAA in all lines of business (CAR, HOMEOWNERS, PERSONAL ARTICLES FLOATER, and LIFE) end even all banking products with USAA for the past 10 years, I remained faithful with the company for my business with them, that is until in 12-2007 USAA wrote me to let me know that because of the bankruptcy status they would not renew my policies at the end of the current policies which were car insurance in 1-2008, Home insurance in 2-23-2008. Unfortunately on 1-23-2008 The main entrance to my home was broken the whole frame of the door was broken and door broken into and everything (Jewelry, electronics, computers, etc.) was stolen. A police report was filed immediately To this date 3-6-2008 my door still has no security lock and any one can just push in the door an enter the home. Then on the contents USAA has placed a special investigator (Supposedly) she could never show or answer to any credentials come to my home and ask to look through all of my personal things, I agreed, why I do not know, but she did, and of course found nothing. I have nothing to hide I exclaimed to her, then told her that since we were in my home I was recording our conversation she replied, "She was not comfortable with that" I told her it was still happening since we were in my home, USAA had sent me a letter stating that if I were to have any fraud or false statements they would not honor my statements. And on the letter it also states that if I want to hire an attorney at my expense I could. So this is exactly what i did, A representative (HR Director) of my attorneys firm was invited to sit in my home with this "PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR" (Cynthia Esquivel) she stated "I am not comfortable with this at all" and went on to say that she would not conduct the meeting with me on the cas and would only take any paper work and she would make her determination from there. She took paperwork copies I made for her and left. (All conversation is on recording) She was extremely rude, and hostile. On Thurs 2-28-08 I received a phone call from contractor "Alamo flooring and Construction" stating that USAA had approved the door replacement and that he had contacted the door company and they told him all I had to do was go and pay my part of the door so that week could get started. Being that I work 2 full time jobs (day and night) I was not able to until Sat. 3-1-08. Since I am not a crook it never dawned on me that the quote given to me from the Front Door company had a few scratch outs on it where the person that made the quote had made mistakes and corrected them. I faxed this quote to USAA not even thinking any thing of this effect would come in. The representative at the Front Door company let me know that USAA had sent an investigator to see if the quote i faxed to them matched theirs because they felt I had altered it. Of course it did match, I never would of even thought about this. I am very humiliated by all the allegations USAA has put on me and the mental anguish that this horrible company has put me through. My situation makes me wonder how many people that do not know better get taken advantage like this by USAA. I was a victim when my home was broken into and the privacy of my home was invaded. USAA made my situation even worse instead of protecting me like I had been paying them to do all these years. This situation needs to be stopped and taken seriously and investigators for USAA need to show credentials before they can just walk in someones home and expect to go through their personal lives. And they need to realize that I am comfortable with them recording my conversations with them, what are they hiding that they are not comfortable with the consumer recording them. I will go as far as i can not only to protect myself and my family but any one who has to go through the nightmare that USAA has created for me.

It seems to me, you are the typical disgruntled laid off employee. I personally think you were terminated, due to the fact that Robert Davis did not make any layoffs in 2007. Second, just like every other USAA employee that gets laid off or termintaed, you turn around and bash USAA. Gee, what else is new? Last, since when is it your (ex) employers problem, that you did not get a job after I am sure, you were given atleast 90 day compensation? Sounds, like you got hosed by someone at USAA, maybe a director? Not sure, needless to say...you have some issues at an ex employer and are trying every way to bring them down, which you know your whining will not get you anywhere with a Multi Million Forbes company! - Try calling the FAC I'm sure they will speak to you! Bye.

Ignore the idiot above. Your complaints are VALID and verified by HUNDREDS of ex-USAA members my son being one of them. All you have to do is type in GOOGLE "USAA AUTO INSURANCE COMPLAINTS" or something similar and many complaints pop up. I have read hundreds of them. I have been a USAA member and am insured with them on both my auto and house but I made sure to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING and take video camara and pictures of everything in my house. I question question question everything. I am keeping my fingers crossed because basically all insurance companies are bad just like the 3 presidential choices they have for us now to pick from. USAA and McCain are the least offense in their respective groups. God-what a world we live in.

It is very interesting how you seem to complain at ease about USAA Insurance, yet you continue to remain a member. Simple answer to that, is becuase you WILL NOT find any rates better than what you are paying now. Second, letme refrase one item to you dummy, USAA did not endorse McCain! All the presidential canidates were invited and he is the only one that accepted. You want to moan and gripe about your insurance then go ahead and just leave USAA. Noone is begging you to stay.

USAA are a bunch of crooks. My home was broken into in july of 07 and I did not see or hear from USAA for over 1 month unless I made the call. Also the first person from usaa I did see was their investigator in late August. I have still yet to be paid for my break in and doubt I ever will; I also hired an attorney and am in the process of fighting them and have had to make an examination under oath twice.
I also used to work at usaa and left on not so great of terms. These bastards just take your money and refuse to pay when you have a loss so i would not hold my breath waiting for that settlement because its 2 months shy of one year for me.

I have USAA and am somewhat satisfied. I have had some problem with getting things done because of bureaucratic red-tape.
But overall, their insurance rate is by far the cheapest I have found. Not sure if the coverage is good or not. I imagine they are like all the other insurance companies and try not to pay out or try to pay out as little as they can get by with.
I just hope they aren't like State Farm and only paid me $200 on $7, 000 claim. I had special insurance up to $10, 000 to cover a Sun Microsystem cluster. Lighting came through the lines and destroyed 2 Sun Blades. The money they sent me did not even cover a hard drive.
