I drink from the keg of glory, Donna. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land.
Today, State Farm called.
The "too long didnt read" version is that I have had a dispute with them since September of 04 regarding the matter of over $100k. Hurricane took roof off house and we've been screaming bloody murder they cut a check for contents, which was way under 100k.
In other words: They owe me big money for a covered loss. They havent paid it since 2004. I have been *raises fingers* THIS CLOSE from standing outside my agents office weildling a bullhorn and a sandwich board with the words STATE FARM = BAD FAITH.
Today, a claims adjuster called and said his manager called his manager who called his manager, and they have never done this before and are paying anything I throw at them withinn 40 days. In other words.....
I have 40 days to spend $100,000.
Conditions: I have to have a reciept. Otherwise SF will NOT pay the claim.
Items I can buy: ANYTHING damaged during hurricane that was thrown away and documented.
Examples:
72" BBQ Grill
25 cubic ft smoker
Furniture for a 3BR 2BA house, sofas, loveseats, lawn jockeys, crap like that
Digital Cameras
Computar machines (Network Server, Linux box, print server, laptops, LCD monitor's, whatever)
PDA's
Soda Machine x 2
About 9 freezers or refrigerators
Beds
Clothes - suits, fitted dress shirts, shoes, belts
Lighting, lamps, desks, cd's
software licenses, windows advanced server 2000
Audiophile crap - audio recivers, new speakers, cd players,
AMMO! LOTS AND LOTS OF AMMO!
The problem:
Heres how State Farm works.
You have a computer. You say it costs you $2000. State Farm says it cost you $1000.
Then, State Farm says it's depreciated. By 80%. You get a check for $200.
Go buy a new computer for $2000, and SF gives you $1600.
Imagine this, except replace computer with "HOUSE" and add zeroes accordingly.
I can spend money that I don't have for useless crap that I don't want, or I can pocket the cash. What would you do?
