Applied has used questionable marketing practices for years. They promise huge premium savings but only after you receive the quote and read the fine print do you understand that there is a tremendous down side for the insured. Even their telephone marketing calls are deceptive: The caller id shows their number as “Private” in lieu of who they really are. They’ve told me they do this intentionally in order to get agents to take their calls.

With the cease and desist just released by CA DOI, you would be a fool to write any business with them now.
