Wow the most illiterate run-on sentence I have ever seen in my life. Maybe people wouldn't walk all over your life if you weren't so damn stupid.

I was with them for 2 years and I file a claim and it was like talking to a wall. Customer service was a joke and took them almost 2 months to pay.

I was rear ended exactly a year ago. I was a passenger in my mothers car. She carries full coverage insurance. I was 4 months pregnant on the date of the injury and have had extreme neck pain with headaches ever since the accident. I filed all the needed paperwork efficently stating that I was pregnant and could not get any extensive testing done such as x-rays and so forth until after I delivered. my daughter was born with disabilities and I was unable to receive medical attention immediately after her birth. I contacted my adjuster and asked if I were still eligible to receive medical treatment under my claim, and she said of course! I got testing done and seen a doctor a few times and got an order for physical therapy. All of my bills have been rejected by Direct. I called my adjuster asking how come my bills were rejected after she advised me seek medical attention. She argued with me saying there was no way this pain was associated with a injury that happened a year ago. I told her that it has persistant since the moment the accident happened and explained my circumstances as to why I am now seeking medical attention. She called me a liar and told me that my neck and head hurt from caring for my disabled infant! I immediately contacted my attorney and the Department of Insurance! I have still not got the medical attention to correct the problem caused by the accident nor have I got paymant on my medical bills that I have received.

Could that story have made any less sense? Dear God, most if not all people know that 99% of this crap you see on TV, is a scam. Stopsign, FasterPC, The General, Freecredit Report, I mean seriously people it's not had to go online when seeing a commercial and checking to see if it's legit or not.

After reading this incomprehensible, run on, intelligence draining idea of a story. I almost don't feel bad about.. well whatever happened during this incident.

Holy crap, I couldn't get through the first 5 lines of this story. It's almost as if it were typed in a different language and then run through Google translate...maybe I'm just giving the author the benefit of the doubt. I have a hard time believing anyone could possibly be that illiterate and still be able to type a story.

Unfortunately, Direct General ostensibly targets the very type of customers many of us choose to label as illiterate, therefore undeserving and (somehow) dishonest. Regardless of the grammar, there is an undeniable sense of frustration, disgust and anger in these messages, .They serve as a warning to the wise. Often, these customers are the prime targets of mercenary "marketeers". True, nothing worth its value is usually free nor easy, and this old saw applies to Direct General's commercials. My advice: get the best legal and medical representation you can afford, regardless of cost (avoid the "one call, that's all" messages). For those who are frauds, I'm sure Direct General is quite able to defend itself ; but treat customers with respect so they don't turn to the internet as a last resort.

Direct General is not a good car insurance company they will not answer nor return calls. There not on top with there advertising.They work very slow with there costumers. Thats not good for business. So i advise anyone not to get with them this is just a warning if you dont want to go through a head ache. And oh they do not give you a rental.

I had a simple locked my keys in the car. Paid the locksmith and called for a claim payback. Stayed on hold... Bounced from person to person... More cheesy on hold music...you get the pattern. This place is a joke! Called back to see what happened and if you read starting at "Stayed on hold..." I think you will understand where this goes.

Direc General is a scam! I called for a simple window replacement because my car was broken into. They told me that since my mother and I live together they had to investigate and it's going to take a week or more. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE TEA IN CHINA?!?! Rip-off
