PCTG Consumer Complaint Report Record ID#: 1447449561

Date of Report Submission: 07/21/15

Complaint Comments:

Department of Insurance: Photo Estimating – Our customer stops in and explains she needs her car repaired. She advised Allstate Insurance Co. has sent her a check. We asked for her appraisal of damages she tells us they did not send her any paperwork, just a check for $899.79. I looked at her vehicle and explained sorry but you have at least $3,000.00 worth of damage… Let me guess? They asked you to take photos and send them in so they can settle your claim? She says yes that is exactly what happened. I used my phone and took five pics and they sent me the check. - This is a violation of The Pa Motor Vehicle Physical Damage Appraiser Act. Please enforce the necessary enforcement actions. Thank you, Crawford's Auto Center
