Insurance talky talk? Here's one.

My home insurance company sent me a letter earlier in the year saying I had to remove some vine growth from the side of my house. Fair enough (actually it was not fair since the rule is coverage of more than 25% of your dwelling and it was NOT, but I digress). Apparently they'd been roaming around snapping photos of houses they cover - excellent, big brother. I had until June 30 or something. Well the WEEK BEFORE my deadline, I get a letter saying that because I did not comply, I was being dropped. 

When I called to ask, they back-peddled and said they send these letters out early so homeowners take care of their stuff before the policy runs out (my policy was up July 28) - basically they screwed up but never apologized. They'd even sent a copy to my bank, etc. I took care of the vines well within the deadline but I was ticked off for sure. Don't give me a deadline if you're going to threaten to drop me before it even passes!

Need to shop around but am lazy.

That one would have got them dropped on principal.  I would even pay a little more in that situation.  The idea that they are out taking pictures of your house?  Yep, that's cause for me to yank them.

i kind of agree.  call the first guy that stuffs a flyer in your mailbox.  i get them all the time. 

is the picture thing normal?  i live in a HOA, so the HOA does annual drive-bys and sends out nastygrams, but i've never heard of insurance doing that.

First I've heard of pictures and following up. You'd think the bank would care more than the insurance company.
That's rather creepy, to take photos of your house without informing you.

aka google street view?

Not sure - it's my first house but I've lived there for 6 years. First time that had happened. No one I've talked to has ever heard of it either?

Yeah I get a letter in the mail with a printed out photo of the side of my house. Disturbing.

I sort of wish for that sometimes.  It would substitute a corporate discipline for a personal discipline that I seem to lack.
