Cancelling for NonPayment

Learn_how_to_handle_your_insurance_being_cancelled_for_a_non_payment_with_Andrew_G_Gordon_IncThere are many reasons that you should make sure that you don’t let your insurance policy cancel for non-payment.  The obvious reason is if this happens and you don’t have the coverage when you need it. 

Other reasons are that many companies that insure properties do not want to insure a property that has had a lapse in coverage.  Their main concern is that the property could have sustained damage during that time and was not repaired. This is particularly more challenging on the South Shore, where coastal proximity is an issue for insurance companies too.  Often times, Mass. Property Insurance Underwriting Association will be the only option for insuring your property when this happens and their rates are typically high.  The same goes for auto insurance; some companies will decline coverage for someone that has had a lapse in coverage whereas other companies will charge a higher rate.  

Some companies will even apply a higher rate on the homeowners insurance policy if the auto policy has been issued a late bill.  Likewise, some companies will apply a higher rate on the auto policy depending on the number of late bills issued.  

So in these busy times, try not to let this happen. It will cost you more money and time trying to rectify the situation.
