Subject: Fighting Fraud?!? How About Fighting Slanted Misinformation?
"When confronted with such evidence, Elliott said a policyholder usually withdraws their claim. He also said that when such fraud claims are verified, the policyholder not only loses the fraudulent claim, but any and all claims for damage to the property".
To Whom it may concern,
Many do not, and should not approve of blatant, or stealth, fraudulent activity of any flavor, or color.
Could you please explain how a separate-specific fraudulent (fence type) claim issue principle, cancels out the rest of the legitimate portion/s of a claim loss value owed - promised a claimant?
A claimant "cheating" on fencing damage, somehow lets the insurer off the hook for keeping prepaid coverage promises towards the rest of the torn up property!!?
Is that the type of business practice that Nationwide Insurance supports, represent's and profit's from?
How many desperate - financially poor, has that business practice been applied to?
They obviously could not (financially) fight the lopsided rationale that the rest of their claim is now "invalid" because of their poor judgement on another portion of their legitimate claim loss issue.
How is that fair and just indemnification practice?
An unbalanced perspective of what defines fair and balanced indemnification justice is a serious public concern.
Punish the wrong, but don't condemn fraud, and then find an excuse to mirror it's deceptive nature.
People catch on to those issues pretty quick nowadays.
