last week, i finally succumbed to those geico commercials where they tell you to check out their website to see if they can save you $$$ on your car insurance. i filled out the info, and got a quote back that was about $20/month more than i pay to state farm. "oh well", i shrugged, and obviously decided to stay with state farm.
this morning, i got an e-mail from geico... explaining that the rate they quoted was not their lowest, and that a lot of factors go into how they determined my rate. but here's the best part: because they didn't offer me their lowest rate, THEY REPORTED IT AS AN ADVERSE ACTION to the credit reporting agencies.
so now i have a ding on my credit report, all because they said i should check them out to save a few bucks.
assholes.
(and yes, i'm posting this from vacation. i'm hoping by posting this, i can get rid of some of my negative energy and go back to having fun.)
