- Before you call me a liar you should check YOUR facts.
- I am only repeating what State Farm HAS told me and what was in the
- letter my partner got on moving to MA. His insurance was
- cancelled because they do not insure in MA (their words). This
- was not a new policy, nor a transferral after cancelling. It
- was a change in address that was put through, then a cancellation
- letter about a week later. When they were asked baout it, they
- said the person who took the change in address made a mistake and should
- have done the cancellation immedately.
-
- I'm sure no company is 100% consistent, esp. insurance
- companies, and I'm sure there are a few people who have insurance for
- their cars thru State Farm. But by their own words they do not
- insure cars in Massachusetts.
