Subject: The Rest of the Story....so far anyway
It is now admitted by defendants that the payment was dropped off. It is admitted by them that the payment was timely, they argue that the insured should be suing the "flood people" as they are the ones that screwed up! Imagine that, Nationwide is a WYO carrier, who do they think the "flood people" are. There was no notice to the insureds that their flood policy was not a renewal but a new policy. After Katrina, they went to their agent, they a got a two sentence letter back that said sorry, you are out of luck. No offer at all to find out what happened, to check on it for them, he now says he sent the payment in as he should but then never did anything for the insureds to find out why the policy was not renewed, he just said sorry!
They have gone over a year and Nationwide now basically admits the claim should have been paid but still, no payment! They want to blame FEMA!
