What is the name of your state? INDIANA
In April of 2000 we received a severe storm that damaged some houses in our neighborhood. My husband checked our house and did not see any visible damage to our home. We moved that June into a new house. In July of the same year, I contacted my insurance agent to purchase more insurance on our new home, and he asked me if our "other" home had received damage in the hail storm, and I told him no. Well, he went and did an inspection anyway and determined that we had roof damage and filed a claim against our insurance. The insurance paid, but since we were not living in the home at the time the 6000.00 check was sent to us in our name and the mortgage holders name. We had to sign the check over to them. Well, we were denied insurance on our new home because we had a claim against our insurance within two years. My question is, was it legal for our agent to file a claim for us without our permission? Was it illegal for us not to get the proceeds but still be denied insurance when we did not make the claim?
