House Insurance Pitfalls: Secret Discounts and Grifts

Mom has been punished for having her husband pass away- her house insurance just went up from $247/month to $650/month.

We are still going to provide a few details about security, new roofing and furnace, and will be providing confirmation that there is no longer any outstanding mortgage.

We were advised that Dad had some kind of apparently super secret stealth discount (of course neither woman we spoke to have any information about this, they’re in some “other department”. He has provided consent long ago (possibly blood sample, too) and his score came back an “A”.

Mom has now officially provided her “consent”. They will take her name away to this other department (?in the back room of a casino?) where they will plug her name in and see what her “score” comes out to (I’m thinking roulette wheel spinning, or perhaps tossing her name down a flight of stairs and seeing which step it lands on), and what kind of discount this score warrants.

Obviously, an increase of $400 a month is unsustainable.

We await the news of this “discount”. The lady we spoke to will first “get word” (possibly carrier pigeon) from this Very Separate Department and then she will call us back.
