At the mercy of truth VS. opinion (and greed)

    Well, tomorrow is the day of the final step (or so I hope) in my current circumstances caused by a robbery in Puerto Rico. After dealing with awful treatment of ‘bad faith’ from my insurance company for almost six months, I must complete an in-person Evaluation Under Oath (EUO). I’ve been as cooperative as possible through the entire process, constantly submitting whatever it is that they ask for, however I’ve been treated badly, as if I’m to be the ‘bad guy.’ I don’t understand it – I don’t believe insurances should be allowed to treat poor victims however they wish. I understand that in some cases, some claims are falsified and they have to invest that type of thing. But when there are fellow-victims, police reports, photos, proof of loss and more, there’s no reason to put an innocent victim ‘through the ringer.’

     The world (especially, America) is a sad place when victims are screwed over for what has been done to them. As if it’s some sort of a dark and twisted form of ‘double jeopardy.’ Isn’t it enough that a person had to have a life-changing thing happen to them that effected their entire life negatively?! On a straight forward and unbiased look at the situation... Customers pay insurance to be reassured of safety in the event of something happening to them. In my case: loss by theft. I paid their premiums and was given a ‘false’-sense of safety. I was told that “You’re in good hands,” when really I’ve had to put a half of a year of my life on hold, because the system is so messed up and construed. It’s wrong and I will fight it. I will fight it for as long as I can. I know what happened and I know I’m right and I will do whatever it takes to retrieve what was promised, BECAUSE it’s what is right!
     This world is truly messed up in so many ways – it’s hard to keep one’s head up at times. But I am a warrior of honesty, pride and valor, and I will not back down from what’s right. Please pray for my situation and everyone else who has, is and will go through something similar.

I can understand what you are going through. When my bike was stolen in Chennai, India, Police treated me like a criminal instead of looking into the case. After 7-8 rounds to the police station, I finally got the complaint report filed, after which, the policeman asked me to pay a bribe of Rs 500 ($10). Life can be harsh at times..
