It sucks because the consumer ends up footing the bill for their selfishness and "cost shifting".

I've had a number of customers come to me in a panic saying that if the don't re-shingle the roof or mitigate some other problem that they were going to lose their insurance. These are big ticket items that the insurance companies are demanding. It makes it pretty hard on a working man that's living paycheck to paycheck.

I guess they don't care just as long as it prevents a [U]possible[U] payout in the future.

It's come to a point where i won't take on insurance jobs anymore.



It's just plain wrong to make profit from work that a customer was forced into doing.

100%
But the town I'm in is around 80% retired age people, most still working while living in very old houses. So when you open one up it goes on and on and on.... what do you tell these poor folks. <sigh>
