State Farm Insurance denial of theft claim *Consumer Suggestion
I have a rental property in Butte, MT and items of mine were stolen from the residence and the garage there. There was a police report filed and I turned it over to the insurance.
They came back and stated since the report said that there was no forceable entry they would not pay the claim. I suspect the tenant was involved because of statements made by neighbors ...they won't get involved.
I have had this carrier for a long time. Anyhow...I don't know how to proceed. the amount is about $2500 w/$1000 deductable, so it's not a great deal of money involved....it's just the principle of the thing.
Where do I go from here? Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Rebuttal:
Was it insured as a rental? If you insured it as your primary residence (cheaper), then the insurance company will not have to pay.
If it was insured correctly, request to meet with a supervisor. Discuss it with them directly, if they still deny the claim, have them write out the reason for non-payment and sign it.
Send a copy of the reason for non-payment, along with something showing how long you have been with the company, to the main office. Send it certified.
