Myra in North Florida

Camille Gordon did a fantastic job with my call. Since she needed someone else to assist because it required an an UW, she stayed with me on the phone and when placed on hold, she kept on checking up on me to continue to hold until the UW resolved the issue. She was very pleasant, attentive, and professional. Camille Gordon is an asset to UPCIC.

This bathroom is in no living condition. No toilet, sink mold. I spoke to Avian Allen cole which I send all my paper Sworn Statement I took off work and nobody had my papers I took off that day to get notarized. She has answered to my email, but no no help at all. On the other hand Email Francois Corridon no response which is horrible because why is he working if he can’t reply!! One year and still mold.

We experienced extensive water damage in the kitchen and laundry room in July. We initiated an attempt to address the issue ourselves by calling in a plumber and contractor to replace our flooring. We even purchased the flooring for the job. Upon the recommendation of the contractor, we decided to contact Universal because the water damage was more extensive than we originally thought. The claim adjuster recommended water mitigation. The United Water Restoration Group came and put a dryer in the kitchen and left it here for almost a month. When they could get no response from Ms. Zapata or Universal on the next steps they came to reclaim their equipment. My husband and I tried unsuccessfully to work with Ms. Zapata. After numerous calls to Customer Service, she returned our call once. Since then we haven't heard a word from her. Customer Service finally told us about the online website where claims should be filed and documents uploaded. This was AFTER we sent numerous emails with our documents directly to Ms. Zapata as she instructed us to do. At no time did she tell us to use the website. All documents have been uploaded but still, there is no communication from Ms. Zapata on the status of our claim. It is now the second week of September. The continued disrepair of the kitchen and laundry room has become a severe inconvenience to my family to the point of dysfunction. We would like to know when the claim is going to be settled and what the next steps are for repairing our kitchen and laundry room floors. I am now contacting Shayla Jackson, Supervisor to see if she will intervene. I'll keep the public posted on our progress. VERY VERY VERY poor service.

As an insurance agent sometimes it's hard coming across reps who want to help you and know what they're talking about. Tashan Allen fulfilled both. Very knowledgeable and eager to help. Hoping that I can request to speak with her each time if possible b/c of her great service, thank you Tashan.

I have a new metal roof and security and my yard is fenced. Instead of my insurance going down it went up. Whats with that..

Linda Calhoun | Sep 11, 2018
K P | Sep 11, 2019

It costs more to replace a metal roof .. insurance only goes down when safety features are added...you upped the value of your property.. the security options are hit and miss...if you live in a high crime area, it can lower your rates s good bit, but not as much as you'd think. I selected all the security and safety features on my quote to see if they were worth having and they only changed my price by $12 a year...my metal roof raised it some because they have to consider the costs of rebuilding your entire structure as if it were new.

Does universal property and casualty insure coastal properties

Tc Beamon | Sep 11, 2019
Alex Cull | Sep 10, 2020

Universal is somewhat unique in that they will insure just about any property, regardless of it's distance to the coast. There are some limitations on this. I'm an insurance agent who has Universal as a product.

Definitely they nearly double my rate every renewal until the point I couldn't do it any more and had to go to citizens insurance. Went from $1300 to $4300 over a 4 year or so period. Each renewal going up drastically. The biggest increases coming after the roof claim.

Are you really asking me to confirm my email address with a threat to eliminating it by Jan 31, 2022 if I don’t reply——or is this a phishing email. I became suspicious when reading the email.

Duncan Brown | Feb 12, 2022
Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company | Feb 12, 2022

Hi Duncan, We do request email confirmation annually, usually 90 days before your coverage expires. The exception being when there has been activity within the last 120 days, in that case we do not ask for further confirmation that year. I hope this is helpful.

I usually receive an invoice due in Decrmber but did not get one this december. I pay in 4 installments and have done so for many years. Am I still insured with Universal? Please advise my status 4160 steamboat bend east #101 Fort Myers Fla33919

You're probably paid up a month or two in advance and it's about time to renew.

Is it true that the policy isn't binding for 90 days in underwriting?

Art Phillips | Sep 10, 2021
stacey tomko | Oct 15, 2021

I think you may be referring to the 90 day "discovery period" that is based on FL Statute- Chapter 627. The policy is bound and in force on the day it is submitted by your agent however the carrier, Universal, is permitted the 1st 90 days to review the risk and make sure it meets all binding qualifications (supporting documentation, the inspection results, etc.). Not having ample time to review these items would put all carriers in a vulnernable position which would not be good for the industry nor for Florida homeowners overall. I hope that helps!

Do they cover septic tanks when you have backup and leakage if it needs to be repaired do they do that?

J C | Sep 10, 2021
Lee Glick | Sep 10, 2021

Not the tank itself, just the damage the backed up water causes. And the verbiage would be specific. Only way to know would be to put in a claim.
