[AT] Off Topic - Car Insurance

[Kevin]

 Bware of these insurance companies, last year I ask for a quote on our 
vehicles.  and 4 months later they send a bill for $500. + Said they were 
canceling due to no payment, and that collection agents would be collecting 
for them.
I just took the letters to our ins co local office, He said that this was 
very common nowdays that this happends.
AllSTATE  was the @#$%%^ *((&%^$
company that tried this.
I would be very careful of these quotes.
Never cost anything since we had been insured all the time by state farm.
Bt it sure P144 3d me off.
And wasted hours on the phone and Allstate is supposed to be a legit 
company.
