    Why don’t we as agents begin the Polygraph application process test. PAP Test for short. When you come in to sign your application we will have to connect some wires to you and begin asking you the questions, if you fail to answer correctly we will have to deny you coverage. Also we will draw blood and ask for hair follicles to test you for Drugs and Alcohol. Most liars would be caught in the PAP Test which could report to a new underwriting tool. Credit Score, CLUE, MVR and PAP Test will determine your new auto rates based on these 4 factors. We have found if you have BAD Credit, Bad CLUE, Bad MVR and a Bad PAP Test your rates WILL be higher so call Geico they will take you!!!!! Thank You and good day…..

    What I don’t understand is how an insurance company will pay $25,000 in attorney fees and litigation costs on a claim that would settle for $15,000. Doesn’t seem like sound economics to me.

    i beg to differ that the industry is out to take money out of your pocket. in the first place, it is a business. secondly it is there for your protection pending how much you want to be protected for. i work in the industry, and for the most part that i have seen, majority of the industry is not sold to make a major profit. the issue we deal with more often is how well do you drive and how many folks are driving without insurance! far too many folks that drive think because they have just tickets and no accidents, they should be lest costly. in reality, they can be more of a risk than the person whom just recently had an accident. the other issue, is why are we gladly handing out driver’s licenses to folks whom may never get insurance for a vehicle they may or may not own. i am glad that north carolina makes it mandatory just to have a license you have to show proof of insurance. but then again, many get the insurance and shortly after getting their license they drop the insurance. but, they don’t realize, that the state suspends licenses for no insurance with a license. yet most folks think they are ok! i think we need to make all drivers show proof of insurance before they get a license or PERMIT! if we get that, we will find rates getting better.

    I recently had a car accident going 20 mph and hit a light pole. The Progresssive adjustor is intentionally raising the prices on the damages on my car to total it out instead of just repairing my car. How on earth can you be going 20 mph approaching a red light with foot on break, hit a lightpole and total out a car? This is fraud and I want the Pesident of Progressive to know what kind of people he has working for him. We pay $291.00 per month for full coverage and this si the kind of treaatment we get? Is there anyone who can help me, please?

    I am the one mentioned in this blog.

    I’m still concerned about what people think about the CASE – NOT ABOUT ME.

    I never had a chance to tell my side of the story so, here it goes.

    I NEVER recorded anyone else but Mrs. and Mr. Pitts. Only when Mrs. Pitts spoke did I hit the record button on the digital recorder that was hidden in my bra and shut it off when she stop speaking. I only needed to obtain a recording of her talking without studdering which she claims started when she was in a car accident and suffered a brain injury. I caught her talking like there was NO problem. Busted!
    I video taped her WALKING WITHOUT HELP from the back of the church to the front of the church, get a “laying of hands” (forgot what it’s actually called), lay down on the floor, get up WITHOUT help and walk all the way back to the church.
    She would stand in prayer or when we were asked to stand and sometimes that was up to 5 – 10 minutes.
    So, basically, she faked it. She showed up at the attorney’s office acting all “broken” and when the lawyer showed the Pitts and their lawyer the tape and then played the audio clip of her talking, both lawyers went into the hall and settled for a very small portion of what they were wanting.

    That really upset the Pitts. Tough teets. So, then they threw a net out to catch anyone they could, that was involved, to sue them. When I got served, they claimed that what my instructor (I was NOT licensed at the time) and I did what I was to TOLD/INSTRUCTED DO to obtain evidence that she was committing insurance fraud caused her not to be able to have sexual relations with her husband and other ridiculous things. Calling what we did “immoral” and “unethical.” You’d have to read it to believe it.

    Now, let’s look at this from another angle.

    They played on the CHURCH’S kindness and generosity.
    Faked injuries to get a big cash settlement.
    When people, like the Pitts, do things like that; it drives up insurance premiums.
    They lied to the church for personal gain.
    We didn’t and we even gave a donation to the church.
    She played on peoples emotions.
    So, exactly was conducting themselves in an “unethical” and “immoral” way? My conscience is clean on this matter. I can’t seem to find anyone who thinks that what Private Investigators or what the company I worked for was good and just.

    I only did what I was told to do, by my Instructor, AS PART OF MY TRAINING.

    I want this to go away. I followed my heart and my passion and if she got busted for lying and faking her injuries…poor baby.

    They think that hiding in a church is going to save them. Guess what! God is everywhere and sees everything and He knows that what I did was the RIGHT thing.

    Sue me for busting con-artists. They deserve it. (Stand in line. I’m no longer a P. I.)

    Our Heavenly Father knows what I did and it all comes out in the wash.

    No regrets, no regrets. None at all when it comes to this case.

    Peace to everyone.
