This "insurance company " (I use that term loosely) will mislead you, ignore you, outright lie to you, cheat you, withhold the money to fix damages done by their policy holder because their heartless.

My claim against a policy holder of theirs was denied due to "breach of policy provisions" but they won't give you a specific reason because they don't want to give you a specific reason for fear of it being proved wrong. I have dashcam video showing their policy holder hitting my car plus police report putting him at 100% fault.

They don't see their policy holders or the victims of their policy holders accident as people, you're a bottom line, a number. My car was hit July 5th, 2023,everthing filled out and signed,pictures taken, estimate done,and video sent within 2 weeks. My claim was denied August 17th.

I was notified of denial September 15th.

Between August 17th and September 15th I was in contact American Freedom 11 times with them withholding the information about the denial until on the 15th of September when after me calling once again wondering what lie I would be told that day as to why a decision hadn't been made, that I was told they would send me a email with decision. Date at the top of the copy of denial was 17th of August as is the date at top of paper copies that were sent to me with the post mark being after 15th of September on envelope.Worthless company that needs to pay for damages that the victims of their policy holders incur.

Unfair expectations and no full disclosure

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Recently, i purchased an auto policy through Acceptance Insurance. I changed my policy to them, because I was unable to continue to pay, the cost of my previous insurance.

But, I found out that was a mistake. I was informed that the quote given might change. I was agreeable with that. However, I was not told.

They would require proof of previous insurance, which I had. Also, also, a statement from the doctor. When I asked would a doctor who practices alternative medicine would do. They would not approve.

So, I was informed to find a medical doctor. And that would cause me more expense. I am on a fixed income. I do not understand why this was needed.

There was nothing in my driving history, that indicated, I had any medical condition. So, to me, it was age discrimination I am an active senior, Exercise and always busy. I follow up with other companies, I was told yes they do needed evidence of prior insurance. I thought that was public knowledge.

However, a physician note is not required. There was no full disclosure. They lied and took my money. Now, I face more stress in getting my money back.

They are scammers . Beware

You do not call people when one of your insured runs into them and causes damage.

I filed a claim with your company on 7/1. You insured sideswiped my car and caused over $1000 worth of damages. I have not received a call or response from your team. My insurance company has tried contacting you to no avail. I've sat on hold for 1 1/2 hours only to be disconnected. Your service is horrible.

Unethical and Horrible business practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My vehicle was struck by a male that is insured by American Freedom Insurance Co. The company is hard to reach and they use every *** excuse so they do not have to pay any claims. The excuse they used to deny my claim was that the insured driver did not have his vehicle parked at the proper location, as stated on his insurance policy. What a crock. This insurance company is just a smoke and mirrors type of company. This company had horrible customer services practices and what they do is unethical. Deny claims for reasons that are a joke. Stay away from American Freedom Insurance Comapnt.

HORRIBLE!!! They should not even be called an Insurance company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

One of their insured hit two of my parked cars. They make you take your car to a shop for an estimate as they don't have an adjuster.

They try to pay you 30 cents on the dollar in terms of the actual cost of repair.

They rarely answer the phone or respond to emails...until you let them know that you plan on filing a complaint with the Department of Insurance and even then they try to drag things out. I saw so many reviews of people who just gave up of caved in because they couldn't waste any more of their time.

Yes, an insured of theirs vehicle was ghosted (people jumped out of it and ley the car drift up the street) and hit my vehicle damaging the front bumper and fender. its been a month and a half and they still cannot reach the insured or get a Police report that i supplied the report number or they have amnesia and just keep saying they cant get it. Will be suing them in small claims court and will drag the CEO into court of which they will not show up and a summary Judgment will be entered against them of which they will not pay so then you put a lien on it essentially dropping their credit rating while putting in multiple complaints to Insurance oversite entities.

I am vexed that this company would request a state police report by snail mail. Living in a thriving technology, it takes weeks to get snail mail, when you can access the internet, fax or send e-mail. Who does this?

Just got rear ended by someone insuranced by this American Freedom . We decided to go through our reputable American Family insurance after talking with this af company.

We hope our insurer will recover the deductible portion of our own collision policy. We are also prepared to take the other driver who is 100% liable to court.

Going to court against AF and Doan Appraisals including driver of vehicle at fault.

Original review May 03, 2018
My vehivke was damaged by the negligence of a AF insured. Car was unsafe to drive, they told me to drive it to a storage free facility. None in existence!...I paud to have it towed to my home pais $250...they offered me $100 as reimbursement!..let there adjuster look ar my vehicle, totaled it out. *** bag adjuster writes a $50.00 an hour labor rate prior damage estimate for $1,200. Funny bwcause Sub Standard insurance companies onky pay out $26.00 maximum lsbor rate. To the extimate they produced to 2 different bodyshops...both shops said "this is not what they pay for!"...I am suing all parties involved!.. American Freedom, Doan Appraisals and Duran Body Shop!..conspiracy to deliberately defraud customers and manipulate there financial responsibility!
