Insurance agent cost me thousands

Long story short re:auto insurance. In 2020 my agent calls saus he can get me a better rate with another company. I say great. Soon I start getting letters from DMV that I had an insurance lapse. I call my agent. He says don't worry, it was a clerical error, I'll fix it. Fast forward to 2024, I go to renew my license. I'm flagged to the tune of $1400. My agent is now ghosting me. I have until Feb 12 or I'm driving illegally. What recourse do I have against my agent. Does the state Insurance Commission take these types of complaints
P.S. There's also a $750 delinquent charge on my credit score from a different "clerical error" he hasn't fixed yet.

What can you prove? Because if you can’t prove anything in writing it’s he said/she said.
Also, change agents. It’s not like you have a policy to worry about canceling.

Take him to small claims court. If he is broke they can make him be your butler until the debt is paid.

"Dear Mr. Agent, please submit a claim to your Errors and Omissions carrier in order to reimburse me for your frickup."

So you were paying your insurance and he was spending it on hookers and blow or what?

Sounds like you made a mental "lapse" and are now paying the price.

Decent chance he didn’t remit your premium and pocketed it instead. You may be going to the DA soon.

Start by ousting him here. Then commissioner and E&O claim.

I had this same thing happen. You should be able to call the insurance company directly and ask to speak to underwriting/policy services. As long as you can find proof that there was no lapse, they will clear everything off. Or at least they did in my case. We switched companies when we added my daughter's vehicle and they uploaded the VIN incorrectly. Hope that helps!

I don’t take advice from my agent. I don’t even take his calls.

How many fights have you been in????
Posted on 2/7/24 at 10:08 am to Adajax
Did he give you a temp card?
Posted on 2/7/24 at 10:11 am to Adajax
Louisiana department of Insurance. File a complaint.

Did you get an insurance card from this company? If not, I probably wouldn't be pointing any fingers.

How long have you been an adult?

Probably the best thing you can do is post his name here

fricking insurance lapse charges are horse shite. There's nothing you can do to fight them.
I had a signed fricking document from the DMV saying I had already paid the bullshite arse fine and they still ended up making me pay it
