North Carolina authorities on Thursday arrested a public adjuster, accusing him of absconding with a $133,000 payout from the insurance carrier following a contentious roof claim.
Tyler Dionysius Englin, 26, of Garner, North Carolina, was charged with embezzlement after the Department of Insurance investigated complaints about him. Englin is the owner of TDE Claims, DOI said in a bulletin Thursday.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ license page shows Englin with a business address in Rockford, Illinois. His license has been active since March of this year. Englin also is licensed in Mississippi. His listed telephone number was disconnected, and he did not return an email from Insurance Journal Friday morning.
North Carolina news reports indicate that one complaint about the adjuster came after a roofing company repaired or replaced a Cary, North Carolina, homeowners’ roof this year. The insurance carrier, unnamed in the reports, initially offered about $3,000 on the roof leak claim. After the roof company recommended a public adjuster, the insurer paid more than $100,000 – but the check went to Englin, according to WTVD News in Raleigh and WSOC TV News in Charlotte.
The report suggested that the adjuster may have forged a contract with the policyholders, prompting the carrier to send the payout to Englin.
Englin was released on bond and was scheduled to appear in court Friday, Oct. 31.
