Kraus FVS-1002 Sheven Bathroom Faucet Collection
The simplistic but sophisticated nature of the Kraus FVS-1002 Sheven bathroom faucet is exhibited by the model's single-hole, top-mount installation requirement, and single-lever water control design.

Whether ceramic or glass, or round, rectangular, and square, the Kraus FVS-1002 Sheven bathroom faucet will stylistically magnify all the features of its base sink model.
Kraus bathroom combo deals make these pairings accessible and affordable to all homeowners, and even throw in a complementary pop-up drain for no additional charge.

Don't miss the other titles in the Twilight Saga.
©2007 Stephenie Meyer; (P)2007 Random House, Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group
"Continues to Please"
Stephenie Meyer has created a world and characters that draw you in. It kept my attention and she always leaves you wanting to see what will happen next. Twilight was probable the best written of the three I have either read or listened to so far but Eclipse provided more action and tied together many of the subplots. The only thing I didn't like about listening to the book was the narration. I guess when you read a book you get a mental picture in your head of what the characters look like and what they sound like and having one person provide the voice for almost all of the characters at times was a little distracting. I like listening to books but in this case I started out reading the first two books then downloaded this one, so that might be the reason why I didn't care for the narration. Anyway it was a really good book and I would encourage anyone who liked the first book to buy this book. The sound quality was very good and when I downloaded it to my MP3 player I had not problems listening to it and the thing I really liked was the fact that it somehow bookmarks where I stopped listening so it picked right back up where I left off even if I skipped to music or a movie and then went back to the book.
"Twilight Series"
Stunning...I have had many late late nights lying in the dark beside my sweetie with earphones plugged in...I was completely captured by the story that takes place (from Forks to Italy) from the first few chapters of Twilight through New Moon & now Eclipse. My heart broke with Bella's and her pain reminded me of my own first love ended..I am completely entranced with the entire cast of characters in this series. Ms. Meyers has skillfully built so many fascets into each one that with very little imagination entire books could be written about each life...or should I say..life ended.. Hahaha!
2008? That is when the next book is due to be released? I, for one, cannot wait.
"I read the Book, and I got hooked!"
I loved the book, so I had to have the audio
"what is not to love...."
Although I read all the books I wanted them on audio as well, even though this book is my least fav of the 4 as I felt it was oh so drawn out, and Bella seemed be very weak and whiny in this book, the narration was great,I like the fact that Jacob caracter was narrated by a male voice. I had an easier time listening than I did reading it..
"Great story"
The love triangle keeps you hooked. I caught myself laughing a lot with the developing relationship between Edward and Jacob. It just keeps getting better and better. It is worth listening to the entire series. You will love them all. It is hard to pick a favorite. That goes for book and characters.
"Bizzarre Love Triangle"
I have been pleasantly surprised by this series. I never thought I'd get into a romance novel. Evidently if you add mythical monsters to the mix, I will fall for a cupid story.
This book finds our heroine torn between two loves: her true love and her best friend. Oh yeah, she has a vengeful vamp still trying to kill her; the threat of undead enforcers showing up to check on her status; and weird things are happening in Seattle. All of these things in the mix make this book hard to put down.
"Adult fan"
Love all her books. This one is a bit sappier in my eyes than the other 3 but I do so enjoy her ideas and flow. She writes eloquently and reads effortlessly. I read a novel a week and listen to one at same time and I have read and listened to her series.
"An excellent 3rd installment"
The Twilight series caught me by surprise in that it was a much better read (and page turner) than I anticipated, given its target audience.
I was traveling on business and needed a book to listen to on my long haul flight back to the States, this installment more than filled the bill. The characters continue to grow, the story is more compelling and builds extreme anticipation for the final installment - Breaking Dawn. The voice talent isn't necessarily the most skilled in doing different voices, but she's captured Bella well. All in all, a very fine installment that left me wanting more. A worthy purchase.
I'm trying to wean myself and learn to function without earbuds for more than ten minutes at a time. It hasn't been easy. I lose balance...
"almost embarrassing"
I'm gonna have to split the praise between the author and Ilyana's reading. But as much as I do love this series, and I really do, I am very afraid of the next one. The portion read by the male voice of "Jacob" was stilted and uncomfortable. It's a very small portion of this book though and I still highly enjoyed it. But I'm hoping it doesn't mean a change in readers for the next. Please don't do it. Ilyana is what makes the books come alive. Having said that, kudos to Stephanie Meyer for another brilliant teen romance that stays away from the trite nonsense of the typical vampire slushpile.
This is the third chapter of Edward and Bella's story. As hostilities between the vampires and werewolves increase, Bella finds herself caught between Edward, her vampire lover and her best friend, the werewolf Jacob. Jacob is determined to have Bella for his own while Edward is equally determine to hang onto her. When a threat strikes that effects both vampires and werewolves alike, it seems impossible that this will not end in tears.

Unreasonable and Unwilling To Work with Their Customers
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- I have been a member of USAA for 26 years. I never had an issue with them. The reason is most likely due to having filed only one claim in my 26 years of membership. My view of them started changing approximately one year ago when I attempted to refinance a property through USAA.
Having been a loyal USAA member of 26 years they were the first company that I went to for a refinance loan. However, from the moment the application process started I was getting the run around. After I initiated my application I heard nothing for weeks. When I finally called to follow up I was asked for more information for the underwriters. Now keep in mind my situation had never changed. Gainfully employed, never missed a payment of anything, yet I kept getting asked for more information.
After being asked and providing more information I heard nothing. I called every week with no success in reaching the person servicing my loan. One and a half months went by and when I refused to wait any longer, I called USAA and after some ranting and raving was told that the person servicing my load had left the company. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Every month of delay was costing me $300 in interest that I could have been saving had they just processed and approved my loan application.
My application was then passed onto another 'service representative'. Actually two people were assigned to my loan application with the promise that they would get my loan application processed. Then the 'I need more information' game started again. The underwriters needed more information which turned out to be the same information that I had already supplied! Now it was three months since I first applied for the loan. I had it and asked if USAA would refund me my $350 application fee that I would go elsewhere. They did and I refinanced through another institution with no difficulty.
Now arriving at today - another and much larger USAA disappointment. As most of you are aware the US economy has been shaken to it's knees by the corruption on wall street and the reckless behavior of the banking industry giving loans to millions of people who could never afford to pay them back. Because of this the housing market imploded. Many banks have realized the hurt that has fallen on home owners and at a minimum, yes at a minimum had allowed home owners to refinance their homes for the purpose of getting a lower interest rate. NOT USAA! I have a home equity loan with USAA at a 7.5 interest rate that was taken out four years ago. Now with interest rates around 4.5% many banks have worked with their customers to offer them a lower rate. NOT USAA! They refuse to offer me a lower interest rate. I never asked for them to reduce the amount that I owe only the interest rate. They offer some nonsense excuse that they cannot lower the rate because the loan is locked in! I thought every mortgage in America was locked in, yet many many banks have shown some understanding and assistance to their customers by being willing to alter conditions. These banks recognize that these economic times are quite different than they were four or five years ago and are willing to work with their customers. NOT USAA! By given some nonsensical excuse why they cannot offer me a lower interest rate they are quite content collector the extra four hundred dollars a month from me in interest. Straight profit to their bottom line when fully knowing that the going mortgage rates are around 4.5%.
USAA speaks a good game in regard to offering stellar customer satisfaction, but I assure you that this is one customer who has not once, but twice been horribly abused by their lacking of professionalism, followup/follow through, their greedy nature, and their total disregard for their customers. I just talked with them today about lowering my interest rate. Again not altering what I owe. I borrowed it so I will repay it. But to hold fast to a high interest rate when the only outcome is extra money to them is inexcusable. THEY ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to lower the rate STATING HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH ME AND HELP ME, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME REFUSING TO REDUCE THE INTEREST RATE ON MY LOAN.
This company is far from being customer centric. How can they sleep at night knowing that they have the ability to instantly help a home owner who is having trouble making ends meet and refuses simply based on the statement 'we would like to help you, but we cannot offer you a lower rate'. This is a company who seems more content putting the squeeze on their customer so they can fill their coffers with the customers hard earned money. Just to share with you - I have called USAA four times over the past year asking for any type of relief from this high interest rate. Again while stating how informed they are regarding today' economic conditions, they are quite content sitting back and stealing hundreds of dollars from me every month and are totally unwilling to offer me any type of lower rate. I have been a loyal customer of 26 years. Now I am strongly considering going to an attorney to see is I can put some legal pressure on them. Does this sound like a company who is focused on providing quality service and products to their customers? Well we're sorry, but you took this loan out four years ago and locked in the rate. sorry, we would really like to help you, but after all you locked the rate in and there's nothing we can do about it! Give me a break. what makes USAA so different from any other bank who is willing to work with their customers. Just six months ago I approached Citibank with the same request. They altered my loan down to a 4.5% interest rate for a nominal fee. WHY CAN'T USAA DO THIS. I'll tell you why - they are greedy and have a business model based on getting as much money from their customers as possible while at the same time telling them what a great service they provide. Fact is they couldn't care less about their customers and hang on stating vague technicalities as excuses to why they cannot help or re-work loans with their customers. They are unreasonable and unwilling to help their customers out and instead are quite content making as money as possible off of them.
Stay away from USAA.

It Has Been 18 Months And I Still Have An Open Theft Claim And A House The City Would Condemn
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TX, MISSOURI -- Please forgive any typos. I am working with a broken laptop. This is the 4th time that I have typed and lost all of my information.
First round of asking for help On 6/26/11 I walked into my home to find that it had been burglarized. I had been in and out of town, and it is an unusual case, as the police say that someone had been living in my home. I have an insurance policy with USAA insurance. I have been through 4 or 5 adjusters; I have given way too much information about my life, I provided information from slavery, on all four sides of the family until now, as I was asked by one adjuster, and I have it in writing, "how could people of color afford such things" and that of my February of 2008 to help care for my mother.
Janice, my mother, passed away in July of 2008 she had renters insurance in my home. My sister, Holly and I cared for my Grandmother at home until my sister moved back to Michigan to work for the Department of Commerce in October 2009. I stayed in Missouri and worked for US Bank through Kelly. After my job ended, I traveled around. I helped my sister pack up her apartment in Michigan and move to Atlanta, GA in January 2011. The home was never vacant for more than a few weeks. I traveled back and forth between, Michigan, Georgia, and Missouri. In February of this year, my step-grandmother, who had lived in my home until she went to Beauvais, after my mother's passing (she lived in my home, until October 2009, at that point she moved to Beauvais nursing home, on Magnolia, in Saint Louis, MO)--in February she passed away.
On the same date of her funeral in March, my maiden aunt, Barbara left the funeral for the emergency room, where she was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer and subsequently had surgery. She has been going through chemotherapy and my sister Holly and I have been up and down the highways taking care of her, as we both work to rebuild our lives. Again, the home was my primary residence and was never vacant for more than a few weeks. On June 26, 2011 I returned to my home to find that it had not only been burglarized, but it appeared to have been lived in.
A realtor who was selling a home down the street had a sign in our yard, with a for sale sign, with the arrow pointing to a home down the street (it gave the appearance that my home was for sale). At one point, I let the mail collect when I was caring for my aunt, and the post office put a vacant sign on the mail box. We think that this is when thieves moved in and burglarized and trashed the place. I have neighbors who have witnessed strange people and reported this to the police on the day of the burglary and have called twice since to report people lurking about my home. My mother was an OCD neat freak and the house was so torn apart that it looks like an episode of Hoarders. I had many high end handbags, as did my mother, lots of crystal, and Jewelry. I inherited a lot from my mother and grandmother.
I have answered questions about my lifestyle, worked with USAA's insurance investigator; I have receipts for over $14,000 of jewelry that I purchased when I worked on Wall Street. I have bank statements of things that I owned, credit card statements of what my mother owned, and copies of credit cards that my grandmother had. I have provided pictures. My sister Holly has answered questions (she had to establish that she had a home in Michigan), answer questions about what she received and why it looked like I had more (I did not, Holly's things were not stolen, mine were). My mattresses have been slashed, the fridge broken, the oven broken, thousands of gnats in my home, as USAA asked me to keep the broken fridge, as I went through 5 claims people. I thought that I provided way too much information on.
In some instances, I have the receipts for items, pictures, and have located them on the bank statements and have been asked to provide more documentation. My home is unlivable. If the city came in they would condemn it, the thieves left urine, chemicals (perhaps Meth) fecal matter, and more all over the entire house. The house was black and thick with gnats. 18 bug bombs later, millions of gnat bodies covered everything in my home, and the poison permeated everything.Â
And now my aunt, in addition to the chemotherapy that she is enduring, has diabetic issues, that may cause her to lose her legs. As an update, her leg was amputated, and she has since died. My sister Holly and I are her only relatives. After the tornado, here in Saint Louis, I looked at my policy and upgraded it. USAA sent a letter to homeowners advising that we do so. I think that between what I purchased, what my grandmother and my mother left me, I had $100,000 in jewelry...I may have had $10,000-$45,000 in jewelry coverage, when I upgraded the policy, I added the jewelry on. USAA sent a letter that do to my credit they were disallowing the jewelry coverage.Â
After reading my policy I pointed out to my public adjuster that this was illegal in the state of Missouri, over $20,0000 in silver was taken - I may have had $10,000 in coverage, it would depend on how the multiple policies that I paid on the same residence plays out. I had a total of $299,000 for one policy of coverage for personal items and with damages my claim may be between $270,000 - $280,000. The claims investigator is telling me everything is in the hands of the adjuster, just get in my receipts and pictures, and the adjuster is stalling that he must turn everything over to the investigator first. I have spent me, that should have been spent on family and getting my home and life back in order jumping through hoops. I would like to retain your services, as I have made a commitment to -Communication with USAA Part get everything to the claims investigator and the insurance company over the weekend. I do not want to do this all in vain, I feel like I have been violated twice. You have a good reputation on and I would like to hire your firm to assist me in finishing this claim.
I was contacted this morning, Friday, September 30, 2011 by another Claims Investigator, out of Las Vegas. This will be my 3rd claims investigator assigned to my case. To date, I have only spoken to one, Kyle, and I no longer feel comfortable communique ng with the insurance company without someone on my side. I have had coverage with USAA since 2006, however, the day a er the tornado in Saint Louis, I updated the policy. As you will note, I did not adequate jewelry, silver, or fur coverage, Second round of asking for help Details of complaint: My original policy began with USAA in 2007. Since my emails to Mary the state of Missouri Department of Insurance Regulation. They have not been able to help much either way, to date, although USAA has retaliated, and although they have stalled, said they were too busy with other perils of nature, they are now trying to put me out on the street, although my home is unlivable, and put me out for Christmas and New Years. They also went in and purged much of the data off of my web account, including emails and policies. All the policies have been purged.
I purchased this home in 2005. At the time I lived in New York and had renters insurance on my New York Apartment, my mother lived in the house full time I traveled with my job an I had a policy on the house. In October 2007, my mother was diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gerhigs. My sister lived in Michigan and had a ranch style condo covered through USAA. All USAA policies held by my sister, my mother, and myself, fell under my dad, Ronald. My sister walked away from her job to care for my mother. During that period the pipes burst. USAA paid her about $15,000 and then dropped her, and her claim, stating that there was an invoice from the cleaners that had a weight on the UNsaveable clothing they returned to her. For that reason they dropped her claim, stating that she added an UNsaveable clothing box, even though USAA sent her the invoices. They closed her banking account, everything. As my sister was the only one caring for my mother, she lost everything and had to declare chapter 7.
My Dad, a die hard ex-military man had USAA on his two homes and 5 or 6 cars. There was never a claim. On February 14, 2008 I walked away from my job in New York to help care for my mother. I notified USAA. In July 2008 my mother, a nurse, passed away. I notified USAA and continued to care for my grandmother in my home until October 2009. At that time my sister got a job, as the assistant manager for quality assurance in Dearborn, MI. She did not have much to move, as she lost everything to water and mold when the pipes in her home in Michigan broke in several locations. Holly got a Uhaul and moved her things to Michigan. Holly has a lease, a business card, and paperwork, from December 2010 where the moving company picked up her furniture for storage, and then where to deliver it when she found a place in Georgia. My grandmother was 110, she loved Xmas. We left the Xmas tree and lights up from Xmas 2010 and had a special 2nd Xmas for her and my Aunt Barbara, the cancer, in February 2011. Holly and I actually missed the first Xmas in December, we were in Michigan packing her apartment. Lena was staying in Beauvais Manor by that time, but she could come for a day home as well as my aunt who was utilizing rehab to get better. My step-grandmother is in the photo below along with how the house looked just months prior to the break in. There was a lot of sorrow. We lost my mother in July 2008, my sister Holly paternal Grandmother (who always treated me as a grandmother) six weeks later.
In October, 2008 we lost Holly's paternal Uncle. Then in July 2009 we lost Holly's paternal, youngest aunt, it was just too much. Holly's job was over, I came to Michigan for a while in April, I had been working for US Bank in Saint Louis and working through Kelly Services so I was in the home alone. Holly decided to move to Atlanta. Her things were picked up by the movers and were to be placed in storage until she found a home in Atlanta. All this information was given to USAA.
After the death of my grandmother, on the very same day as her funeral, my Aunt Barbara was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer. Literally, we left the funeral for the emergency room. My aunt had surgery. After a recovery period she was to start chemotherapy. I joined Holly, who was living at an extended stay hotel to find a home. She decided to find something that my aunt could stay in. I went to Michigan with her, helped drive the car from Michigan to Atlanta, and we looked for a place for her to live. After finding one, we returned to Saint Louis as my aunt was starting chemotherapy or had started and I was taking her to her chemo sessions. So I was back and forth out of town a few times. I do know that in April there was a major tornado that hit Saint Louis, Missouri and ripped the roof off of the airport and left devastation following highway 270. I received an a letter from USAA about the tornadoes and asking if I had enough coverage. I really took that to heart and I changed my policy. The primary changes were for the structure of the house, but I did add a jewelry Ryder. I inherited much from my maternal Grandmother, my maternal step-Grandmother (she is the one who passed in February 2011) and my mother, as well as my own things.
I received a call asking if I was going to cancel the other policies on the home and the renters insurance. I let them know that had been cancelled long ago. The customer service person indicated it was not. USAA will not send a copy of this update. I did add $40-$45k in jewelry coverage and was still woefully under covered. I received a letter stating that due to my credit history, which took a traumatic hit during my mother's illness, the policy was changed. What I did not know was that I continued to pay for 3 policies after USAA was told time and time and time again. After the report of the theft, I was under investigation for 6 months. I was never notified officially and I cooperated spending time, that I was told that I would be reimbursed for, due to my cooperation. I was paying out of pocket for everything.
I sought assistance and got a Public Adjuster Inman and Associates, who have been a sad disappointment. It has been 18 months since my claim. Missouri law and my own policy have not been followed. Since USAA does not give money back, but gleefully took it and continues to take it, then I should have additional coverage. As credit score cannot be utilized in Missouri, my jewelry rider should be acknowledged. USAA has had a spreadsheet of stolen items for 6 or 7 months. The public adjuster and C are still ambling around on the dwelling. This is my claim and I want to replace my stolen items. I would like my ALE that is due.
This company has put such a financial strain on me that it has taken it's toll on me, my sister, and my aunt, who passed away November 19. Additional family members six of seven have passed away during this time. Our Aunt was our mother's older sister. I do not want to spend another Thanksgiving (which ended up being a trek to get my aunt's body. Medicare wanted to know after her amputation that she had a place to go (prior to all of this she lived on her home). Barbara had too many steps to return to my home and it has been 18 months and Josh is in charge of stolen items.
It has been 18 months since the theft. The criminals were living in the home, they defecated, urinated, stole the motors or some workers from all 3 fridges in the home. Since it took USAA 3 months to come to the house it was filled, like a horror movie, with millions of gnats. Over 18 bug bombs were set off, there are gnat bodies and poison in everything. The police found tons of medicine boxes and pots with stuff stuck in them, I was told my home was possibly used for meth. ARRS the restoration service deemed almost everything as unusable. Now USAA is questioning ARRS and there has been no movement on the home. Furniture that was in the home was broken and almost ALL household items placed in the garage. The gnats are back. If items were save-able, they are not now. All furniture in the home down to the dishes were purchased new when I bought the house for my mother. Her partner and fiance©e had died and this was a new beginning. The only things not new, were the dining room set, the master bedroom set and the 2nd bedroom set and one television in the basement. All other furniture was purchased in 2005 along with the carpet for the basement. Except for the China, all dishes, mixers, toaster, microwave, pots, pans dinette set, living room furniture, basement furniture and patio furniture were new. As well as all decorations.
My grandfather fought in WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. There were many heirlooms that he sent home. I had photos and I had to show what I inherited verses my sister. There was much silver, Waterford, and Japanese ivory and such, there are pictures of the items in the home, and I had to account why I had photographs of the items and the photographs were clearly years old.
USAA has put me in a financial bind. I could lose this home. I want to know why we cannot work on replacement of theft which is what I asked for from day one, the house really needs to be gutted, disinfected and fixed. I need to know how much I have in coverage since I was paying for 3 policies. I have read the policy and found all the breaches, not Inman and Associates, my public adjusters, they seem to be inept. I am begging for any assistance as rules in my policy have been ignored, Missouri law, and it is 18 months, this is crazy.
I don't want to live in a hotel anymore. I want funds immediately for replacement of stolen items and a clear answer of how much coverage I have since I was paying for 3 policies until 6 or 7 months ago. I will email all information instead of attaching it. USAA has been busy since I contacted you purging documents that have been on file since 2007. I believe Josh, the San Antonio Adjuster for USAA may have gotten rid of everything with his name on it.
My Aunt Barbara died, her memorial service was Friday, December 14, 2012 and according to Chris and his boss Kevin, USAA adjuster and his supervisor, they are trying to put me out, even though I have unlimited Dwelling, and it was USAA dragging their feet, and then on the theft, I have about $ 50,000 in replacement receipts, USAA gave me $20,000 against the theft, now Josh is saying not one more dime until the CLAIM is ESTABLISHED. What have they been doing for almost two years?

I couldn't read this entire entry, but just based on what I skimmed, I think you should get yourself a lawyer to help you slog through it. At this point, it is too large for any one person to deal with.

To site admin - there is a company representative's name buried in this story, which should be removed per my3c policy.
DebtorBasher on 12/17/2012:
8er, 8er, my 8er...I read through the review and did not find any full names given. Unless I missed it. I'm thinking you were talking about 'Josh San Antonio'...which, being that this review location is San Antonio, I'm guessing the OP meant, 'Josh, the San Antonio Adjuster'...which I have corrected on the review.
spiderman2 on 12/18/2012:
I did not read the whole thing because it is filled with way too much detail that is not important to the problem. Could your problem be that the home was unoccupied for too long a period of time? Insuring an unoccupied home is not the same as insuring your residence. From the USPS website "A delivery point that was active in the past but is currently not occupied (generally not occupied for 90 days or more) and not receiving mail delivery. It does not include businesses or homes under construction, demolished, or otherwise identified as unlikely to become active." I think this is the root of your issue. Get a lawyer and good luck to you.

Claim Refusal
Posted by
My then 17 year old son stuck my ("his") 2005 F-150 Crew cab 4x in a very deep puddle. He had to dive to connect a tow cable and the water was almost up to the door handles. It was in the water quite a while. The truck already had some body damage on it (right quarter dimple, some rear bumper, some front bumper) but was in good working condition when he drove it into this "puddle" that turned out to be much deeper and softer than it appeared. At the time of the incident he was estranged from me and staying with his mother, so he did not notify me and I discovered it just before sending him off to a wilderness program and boarding school.
The truck was not drivable after the dunking and he left it in a transmission shop. I put the truck in my repair shop and told them there was no hurry. Some time later, in talking to the shop, I became aware that I could file a claim for water damage with my insurer. I did so. By then the truck was in the body shop and that shop did not initiate repairs but awaited USAA's OK. That was about 6/20 and the truck is still in the body shop.
Initially USAA could possibly have refused coverage of the water damage due to my late reporting of the claim and their inability to see the truck before the major mechanical repairs were done (some remain to be done, but USAA isn't considering them and has closed the claim). They did not. They accepted my explanations and proceeded with (oddly extended) evaluation of the claim.
Mechanical repairs exceeded 7,000, and the truck has to go back for more. Body damage is over 5m. So I have well over 12,000 in damages. The body damage was not all in one incident, so application of multiple deductibles is fair. But much of the body damage resulted from efforts to get the truck out of the water. USAA broke the damage into four claims (based on ?) and allotted no body damage to the water incident, which they are now calling "mechanical failure without collision." Several times they have indicated to me, once in writing and several times in conversational slips, without calling me a liar, that they just do not believe the truck has water damage.
I filed the claim around 6/20, and on 8/4 (!) USAA paid $2,229 on the body damage claims. Three payments, 979.01, 817.67, and 432.76. I am expecting some 200 on the water damage but haven't seen it and their site says only that the claim is complete. I imagine it has cost them more than the total paid to "manage" this claim! I have a 1,000 deductible and USAA is paying less than 2,500 total on this 12,000+ in damages.
The major failing is their refusal to recognize the water damage as such. At first they rejected the whole claim. Said there was "no claim" and "no flood damage." After I protested they found some 1,200 in water damage. So, 200 to me after the deductible. A token to placate me?
The repair shop told me it was all water damage, and they were sure some 4,500 of it couldn't be anything else. Some weeks into the very slow moving "investigation" USAA did call the shop, but the shop said didn't amount to much. They just read them the "customer complaint" from my work ticket, and USAA "asked no questions."
I don't know what the complaint said, probably that the truck been drowned and the transmission was out. That's all I knew at the time. The original estimate was 4,000 - it's clearly the sort of damage that isn't all evident until digging into the mechanicals. We had faxed USAA the detailed invoice, prepared without reference to insurance and not for that purpose, but mentioning "WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MODULES AND RELAYS, WATER WAS UNDER THE DASH," and "SIGNAL FLASHER FULL OF WATER." I asked the shop who there would have first hand knowledge of the water damage, and they said "we all saw it." The owner, volunteered to talk to them. The shop is highly respected and if USAA has any local agents they know it.
I kept asking USAA to talk to the repair shop, and to go look at the truck - pull a door panel and look for a water line, as suggested by my shop, something like that - and eventually a supervisor of my initial contact said he would talk to [the owner]. They did eventually talk and [the owner] told me he explained for about 20 minutes, item by item, what was water damage and why, that there was water in the transmission, the seals were out, the bearings rusty, water in the differential, etc. etc. But [he] said that at the end of his extended explanation he felt his time had been wasted because [the supervisor] just said words to the effect of, "Well, we've already decided and told Mr. Haley what we're doing, and we're sticking to that." No rebuttal, no questions.
I asked [the supervisor]to refer the matter upstairs for me, and he reported back that he'd done so and the answer was no change. The supervisor] and I seem to relate well, and I have no reason not to believe the matter was reviewed, but anyone would have to notice that it is procedurally strange that I never heard anything direct from anyone else.
I've been with USAA auto insurance for at least 23 years - seems like longer but I don't have records back that far. And I don't recall a single major claim. This last year I paid some 5,000 to them, up from 2,500 apparently just on account of my teen-age son being on the policy. You can't say he isn't fully rated. Now I have a claim of over 12,000 on account of him - and I get tons of trouble and not even get as much total payment as the policy increase. The only justification for their position on the water damage is that they do not believe there was water damage. But that is simply contrary to the evidence and the facts.

You have a certified, Class-A, mess here. Since your son didn't immediately notify you of the damage so you could promptly make an insurance claim, I would tell the young man..."If you want a driveable truck, I hope you have some money put away." Just my opinion...but there's a wealth of 'lesson' in this event for a young guy soon to be an adult. Best wishes!

Poor kid. He junks a 3 year old truck and then spends a little time in the woods before boarding school starts, and I'm sure there's plenty more tales!
I did the truck in the lake thing when I was a kid, but it was my truck and my money that fixed it. I'm glad, because I couldn't have done the boot camp/boarding school thing... NO GIRLS!
moneybags on 09/02/2008:
No truck and payment for the repairs would be appropriate for your son. To make it saleable, and have the claim properly handled *if it was reported within the USAA time frame* file a complaint with your state insurance commission.
Jordan M on 03/01/2014:
I am having them "investigate" for a similar situation... snow runoff (been mid 50's) so a lot of the harder frozen stuff right off the mountain was draining and hit a puddle that was much deeper than it appeared. .. well water hit that and the way my front fender wheel well is from a previous incident shot the water right into the intake and then a couple miles down the road the engine started "tinking" so pulled off and had my buddy tow me to AutoZone. So I guess USAA is just trying to avoid paying or whatever but either pay for it or tell me you won't cover it and I will take out a loan or other way to pay for the repairs

USAA Mortgage cheat and charge hidden fees to soldiers trusting them
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- I applied for a VA home loan from USAA thinking that they are friendly to soldiers, but find out the hard way that they are so horrible that I closed all my accounts with them and got me a new account with a local friendlier bank.
they offered me an initial interest rate of 4.875 and while the rate is going down to 4.75, they called me and claimed that the interest rate went up to 5.2% and in order for me to keep this rate I will have to pay them $780 for discount points??????? discount??? the current rate is currently cheaper than what they originally quoted me and they are trying to scam $780 of hidden fees. also they try to process the loan as slow as they can so that the contract and the lock in of the interest rate expire, then they charge you fees to extend the lock, or they raise the interest rate on you.
also when you refuse their extremely expensive home insurance, and you shop for a cheaper and better insurance, they try to force you to buy insurance from them.
what happened to me was: I shopped around for home insurance and found a much better deal than what they offered me and it cost about the third of what they quoted me. I sent them the information to sign me up and finish the loan processing, but they waited until the day before the contract expire and then they called me and asked me to purchase insurance from them, they said we are still waiting for you to get home insurance, I replyed by saying: I sent you guys the home insurance info a long time ago, what happened to that. they first said we didn't get your message, and then they said oh yeah we did get your message but the ins company didn't answer their phone (bla bla bla).
I took the matter in my own hands, called the insurance company and had them call USAA and fax the insurance binder to the same day.
the ins company told me that USAA is used to that kind of behavior.
another scam, is at closing, they don't give you the documents a day prior to you signing, following the regulations, they keep changing the closing documents until the last minutes, and add all kinds of unnecessary fees and charges, and they make sure that they absorb all your deposit money and eanest money. basically at closing you will end up paying and not getting anything back as they promise you at the beginning: you will get your money back at closing don't worry about a thing, and guess what? you end up paying.
Lastly, don't fall for thei Movers Advantage program, all it is, they have real estate agents working for them, they pay them commission, and in return the real estate agent will be working for them and not for you. they will add all kinds of fees to your closing cost to pay that agent their commission.
they claim to give you cash back if you use the Movers Advantage program but in fact they will charge you double or more at closing.
beware, besafe, bank with a Bank who Respect Us and What we do for our country, and not with a scammer bank.
if you need more details and advice on buying a home using a VA loan I will be happy to answer your questions and advise you, so you won't go through what I went through jguilmore at yahoo dot com.\

Sounds likes all other mortgage companies. By saying "friendly to soldiers" did you mean to imply that fees should be waived for military personnel?
Aaron on 11/10/2013:
I am currently a new member to USAA and I'm already being scammed for my money. Usaa has this habit of telling you everything looks good, your payments are up to date then all of a sudden, three days later you get a mail stating that you need to pay your ins at the end of the month before your ins gets canceled due to insufficient funds!! But how could it be insufficient when a rep. Was the one who took the money out of my account to pay for my ins. And now they're telling me to pay 500 dollar... USAA is the worst bank ever!! Navy Federal credit union is a great bank!!

Beware Money Goes Missing Without Reason
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- I have been with USAA since I was 17 and had signed up to be in the USAF. At first, before actually going to BMT, the bank was very good. I never had any problems until I hit check school. The first time money went missing from my account was in February 2011 for $100. I had just gotten paid that day, and transferred $100 from checkings to savings. That money mysteriously was withdrawn the next day. When I called the lady I talked to at first said it was a computer error, but after talking with her manager claimed that the money was never there, and went as far ar to call me a liar over the phone. She flat out refused to let me talk to her boss and ended the call by saying "Ma'am, the moneies is not there. You never had the moneies." And hung up.
The second time $40 went missing. USAA claimed it was for an overdraft payment. Since none of my accounts were in the negative, or never had they been, the money was returned after much argueing and deliberating. The third time, they took $50 out for a "bad check" on an account that no checks were ever deposited to. After looking through all the transaction history and seeing that there were no check deposits, he claimed my husband, who doesn't know the account number or even have a card for said account, took out a credit and he could not give me further information. When my husband called, they said the same thing, that a credit had been taken out, but that I had done it. When he gave the phone to me to talk to the rep, he said that he couldn't help us and hung up the phone. USAA used to be really great, but have seemed sketchy ever since 2011 for me personally.

There is something called "check school" in military training? I find that ironic in this setting.
As for what you report, I have never heard anything that even comes close to what y0u describe going on in your banking accounts. Bank accounts aren't typically handled in a "sketchy" manner. Do you have statements that reflect these anomalies?
Stratton on 06/01/2013:
Sounds like exactly what happened to me... $50 just disappeared... And they said it was never there!
JDnHuntsvilleAL on 06/07/2013:
I don't know if this is really pertinent, but I had a checking account with a Credit Union where I found out they were deducting $2 a month from my checking account BECAUSE I _WASN'T_ USING IT.
Just thought there may be a similar reason in your case.
Isaiah on 02/08/2014:
I have had similar experiences over the past few years with USAA. I am meticulous about saving receipts. Every month it seems that I have to readjust the amount. Just this morning, $50 is missing from my account. Yesterday the amount in the checkbook matched up perfectly with what was online.

Went out of their way to be difficult
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- My husband and I are both Active Duty, and have been USAA members for 14 years. We have bought several vehicles using USAA for our financing, bought our house, have a credit card, all of our insurance, etc. In the last 5 years or so we have noticed a severe decline in quality of service that we receive from USAA. The final straw was this week when we were "pre-approved" for a car loan up to 50K (yikes)at 4.25%. I had been thinking about trading in my vehicle for something a little smaller with better mileage. Needless to say, I did NOT need 50K, and was dumbfounded when we accepted the offer and were given terms that not only did not reflect our good credit rating but were completely ridiculous. The interest rate was 12.99%! My husband negotiated with them for over 2 hours and finally were given an offer of 4.99%. We figured that was a fairly decent rate, and off to the dealership we went. After spending a couple of hours negotiating trade in and purchase price, we were finalizing the paperwork. Mr. Finance Guy called USAA to verify the approval on the electronic loan check, and here's where it gets really good... Apparently, USAA never intended to do this car loan because the final approval amount on the electronic check was a full 5000.00 UNDER msrp for the vehicle! In simple terms, there was no way we were going to buy this car with USAA because they never intended to give us the amount we would need to finance it! There is a happy ending though. We applied for financing through Toyota, and were given not only an instant approval, BUT!!! Get this!!! We were given a final interest rate of 4.19%. Moral of the story: USAA has contracted out so many of their services and on any given day you can get a nice heaping helping of crappy attitude when you call to talk to a customer service representative. Needless to say, we have started shopping for new insurance, looking into a credit union for banking services, and are working to pay off the credit card we hold with USAA. We certainly won't be recommending them to anyone anymore either.

Drop a note to the FTC at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/index.shtml about this. While it doesn't impact your event (you've taken care of that by going with another company), it will add to notifications about USAA that, should they become numerous, will attract attention (and possibly action) to their practices.

What's Really Going On?
Posted by
CALIFORNIA -- I've ask myself on several occasions if some CSR with USAA have a personal grudge against me. Does a USSA CSR possibly know me and is purposely trying to make a life a living hell? I even gave USAA the benefit at one point, believing it's possible I could have make an online-mistake, but now I know better. USAA just did not want my business. After being a "loyal" customer for over 10 years, Iâve chosen to cancel both my auto and renters insurance with this company because of their lack of integrity. My complaint is not complicated. It's simple. USAA attempted to deduct a premium out of my account (auto-pay) on a date my premium was not even due. To top this off, the amount of the premium was incorrect. USAA did not apologize for this incident, only stating it was not fault due to USAA (indicating me) and that I requested an auto payment of this amount to be taken out. OK.
So I was having trouble online one evening and immediately contacted a USAA CSR and told her I was having difficulties online. The USAA CSR assisted me, making me feel confident that the online problem I was having had been taken care of. One week later, USAA tried to deduct the funds from my account. Sure USAA did one thing right, they told me, as a âcourtesyâ they would remove their $15.00 fee for non-sufficient funds, but would not reimburse my bank fees. OK. So I took the bank fee loss. After speaking to another USAA CSR I was assured a date and a premium amount would be deducted from my account a certain day (usually the same day monthly), low and behold, they did it to me again. Stating my premium was due, this time on another date. WTF (excuse my language). I immediately contacted USAA AGAIN and ask why? what? how? when? I let them know this time I had proof!
I had proof with the date and amount that was due to be taken out. I had covered myself this timeâ¦accordingly to USAA, NOT. What more did I need as proof?! I had printed the page from USAAâs website with my premiums due date and amount. After feeling confident about having my so-called proof, a USAA CSR prompted me to another screen online with a new document. This document clearly stated a different due date from the one I had printed less than 3 weeks prior to USAA uploading this ânewâ document along with a new due date. I did not receive an email from USAA stating I had a new document online to view. However, USAA did do the right thing again, - they waived the $15.00 fee from their end, stating itâs a "courtesy" fee waiver --- again. How about my bank fee?! How about reimbursing me those fees!?
As far as I'm concerned, USAA didn't do me a "courtesy" by not charging me $15.00 on both occasions it clearly being fault of their own. I wish USAA would have showed some type of integrity --- they should have done what was right. I've chosen not to renew my auto insurance with USAA and cancelled my renters insurance as well. I'm staring to think maybe they'll be looking for a bailout by presenting statistics to Congress showing how this recession has caused them to lose customers/business. This was not the case with me. USAA simply did not want my business anymore. Theyâll sure make it look good on paper since I was the one that cancelled. What did I have to do? Should I have continued to allow them to deduct premiums that werenât due? I donât think so. I know USAA just didnât want little old me as a customer. USAA is a company who'd âcook their booksâ at anyoneâs expense.

Yeah, USAA is definitely lacking in integrity or honesty. This doesn't surprise me at all. I've been yanked around on multiple occasions by USAA agents and adjusters. From my many experiences with USAA I honestly believe that they must train their agents in how to be unethical and dishonest, and must fire any employee who shows even the least integrity or trustworthiness. It is a disgrace to our armed forces that a disreputable organization like USAA affiliates themselves with the military.

Don't waste your time with USAA
Posted by
One way to guess that a company has bad customer service is when there is no way to contact them via email through their website. Live and learn. My adventure with USAA began when I Googled "Online Banks" about 6 weeks ago because I have moved three times in the last year and was tired of having to change all my banking. USAA was the 2nd on the list, so I opened a checking and savings account. My mom carries a USAA credit card and their website said members had to either be a vet or the child of a vet, which I am. I opened the accounts with no problem, after providing information on my mother including her social security number. I transferred money into each account from my existing account at another bank. The following week, after I had received my ATM card in the mail, I called to activate it and was told I could not activate it because I needed to fax in a photocopy of my drivers license and my soc sec card. I guess I was supposed to have ESP to know that, because I never got an email or a phone call to ask me to send that information. I faxed it the following day from a nearby office supplies store, since I haven't had a fax machine in years. Who the heck faxes anything anymore?
Then, for the next three weeks upon trying to logon to my accounts on the USAA site, I got a message "your account has been locked for security reasons. Call fraud . . ."and a phone number. Each time I called that number I was told "it just takes a few days," and I politely waited and tried again the next day. After 4 or 10 of these calls, I got pissed off and made the dimwit on the line dig to see what was holding things up. After 2 to 8 transfers, someone told me that they had not been able to read the fax image three weeks ago when the fax came in. Three weeks ago! And nobody bothered to tell me! So I demanded an email address to send the information instead of a fax and they said "sure you can email it." Recall that I was told initially that it had to be faxed. So I emailed it, and three days later was finally able to get onto the website. And guess what? It showed a balance of $00.00 in my accounts. So back on the phone, and was now told that my accounts had been closed and a check mailed to me because I was not eligible to have an account with USAA. After 3-7 transfers, I got a Executive Supervisor or something, who said that I was not eligible to have a USAA account because my mother had never purchased insurance from them. Are you still with me?
So, instead of their website informing me I wasn't eligible to open an account, it accepted all the information, appeared to open an account, then locked me out of my own money, gave me the runaround, and sent me my own money back, six weeks later (they told me the check was in the mail). I wonder how many people's money they hold on to like this? Sounds like a scam to me. Stay away from USAA. They are either crooks or completely incompetent. In either case, I'm relieved to be getting my money out. I think they should be investigated. Mike Wallace, where are you?

I can't comment on your situation, but USAA is one of the few companies from which I have received stellar customer service.
RestaurantGuy on 01/08/2009:
I have been a member of USAA for over 21 years now. They are by far the very best company I have ever dealt with. In fact they insure both my house and car, my checking and savings account are with them as well as 1 of my credit cards. Now I cannot comment on your situation either but if anyone is eligible to be a member I would highly recommend you become one. They take care of their members very well
goduke on 01/08/2009:
Ijust checked the website for USAA. It says nothing about the children of vets being eligible. It says that children of USAA members are eligible. Is it possible you misinterpreted what the site said?
exsausd on 03/26/2009:
Goduke is correct. USAA has changed its membership requirements from active duty or retired commissioned officers to active duty enlisted, but children of vets are not elgible to join.
skeletons on 12/04/2009:
USAA is crap. I was an active duty spouse, and am now divorced. I have an acct. with USAA and they decided to freeze all of my funds, with zero notification to me. I have had them for car insurance and banking with zero problems for years. Now because I have a fiancee who also has USAA and we share the same address they are freezing my funds because of some strange deposits to his account. HOW IN GODS NAME AM I IMPLICATED IN HIS COMPLETELY SEPARATE ACCOUNT???? I have never in my 30 years had such a degrating and insulting situation happen. I have 2 children who I must feed, bills to pay and they froze ALL OF MY MONEY pending an investigation.....FOR WHAT???? I had nothing to do with any transactions or deposits involving my fiancee......this is ridiculous and disgusting....When my funds are returned I'm discontinuing service with this crap bank...how dare they take my hard earned money and keep me from buying food and paying bills for some supposed negligent deposits on my FIANCEE's account......????!! So you're telling me if my dad had an account with them and he had a questionable deposit I would be frozen also??? get a life, this bank is ridiculous and the staff is even worse. Screw them. I'm done.
ldtmedic on 11/18/2010:
USAA closed our bank accounts because of a disputed charged to a company called 200cash.com ..They had charged my account for a their service that we have never used. This company is a payday loan service scam and Usaa sided with a company who scammed people for money ..We have been a member of USAA for over 5 years and one day they froze all our accounts and told us "WE DO NOT WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU ANYMORE" how dare them talk to us like we are criminals.. just goes to show USAA is not for whom they say they stand for SOLDIERS and family... They are a bank who uses MILITARY name for their gains...My husband served overseas and is now sick because of the war and this is the thanks we get from a company he helped protect... No thanks to you USAA... WE DON'T WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH BANKS FOR SCAMMERS... WATCH OUT FOR YOUR MONEY ... THEY JUST AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO GET FUNDS OUT EVEN WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION...
POt342 on 01/07/2012:
USAA is awesome.
Disappointed USAA on 04/28/2012:
I have 4 accounts with them for a year. One day they just cancel all my account with no reasons. What A SCAM USAA
hatethem on 12/26/2012:
my account has been locked for a little over a month and a half.
I just love how they lock me out of my account without any form of notification -.-
JDnHuntsvilleAL on 06/07/2013:
I can't even get a QUOTE from USAA unless I first join, which means giving them my birth date and SSN. REALLY? You have to give them identity theft sensitive information JUST TO GET A QUOTE?
I said FORGET IT, and I bet LOTS OF PEOPLE turn away from them just because of this. If they are THAT secretive BEFORE joining, what are they hiding from their members?
omar s. on 06/24/2013:
I just had the same experience in may 2013. Usaa is by far the absolute worst company to deal within regards to banking! I received no notification whatsoever that my account had been closed. Why do they take down your address, email , and phone # if they cannot bother to at least notify you through any of those channels of any changes to your account. None of their reps could tell me why my account had been terminated. Its been weeks and I still haven't received my money back.They have the most rude and incompetent employees. Stay away from USAA.
Michael on 08/07/2013:
I have been a USAA member now for 27 years and they are by far the best bank ever. I currently have seven banking accounts and two auto insurance policies with them. Their customer service is SECOND TO NONE. The USAA website is better than any other banking website I've seen and I've see a few. They are on the cutting edge of technology. I remember using their smart phone picture deposit app long before others were finally advertising it on television. I have NEVER had customer service that wasn't top-notch. I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER leave this bank. Membership is limited and you're fortunate if you can join them. My take is the people complaining above most likely did something fishy otherwise they wouldn't have gone through the troubles they mention. USAA is certainly one of the most professional companies I have ever dealt with.
Bill on 08/16/2013:
I opened an account with USAA and I am a 15 year vet. After opening the account I transferred $8k into the checking account. I few days later I came across some business I needed to deal within cash so I called and asked if I could raise the daily limit on my debit card and cash withdrawal. The rep. said no problem and raised it to $2500 for 48 hours. So I go to 4 ATM's and withdraw $500 from each and I go back to my computer to log in and it says my account is locked and under review call etc. I have called and called and been on hold for hours talked to 7 or 8 different people. Finally talked to fraud dept. and asked what is going on and all they will say is its under review. I say for what and its under review let me talk to who is reviewing it its under review. I am told 48 hours and it will be unlocked that was 4 days ago and still when I call its under review. I have $6000 locked in there and cannot touch it. I am so pissed off.

Company Has Changed.
Posted on
I've been with USAA for over 33 years. Throughout this time I've had 4 auto claims (2 hit by others) and 2 home claims (hail storm damage to roof of house). Claims in the past have been handled from great to not so good. If the claim was against another insurance company and I went through USAA for my vehicle, they have paid basically Kelly Bluebook or better. Other auto claims (vehicle hydroplaned on wet road, no one else involved) USAA offered me approx. 30% less than Kelly Bluebook. I had to battle with them to get the vehicle up near Kelly Bluebook. I'm currently going through a auto claim, not at fault, and once again USAA is offering me 40% less than Kelly Bluebook. They use a company called CCC One to determine the "fair market value".
This company has reportedly had over 10 class action law suits filed against them for unfair market value process. When I approached USAA about the numerous errors in CCC Ones process on my vehicle, i.e. allowing .03 cents per mile comparible vehicles but only allowing .01 cents per mile for my vehicle, they simply stated "we stand by CCC Ones value AND PROCESS". Google CCC One for yourself. I've been paying full coverage on my vehicle for over 10 years, when it wasn't needed (I owe nothing on it), and my rates have climbed $10-$20 per vehicle every year only to be offered 60% of the average value according to both Kelly Bluebook and NADA and when compared to local like vehicles. I will be cancelling my auto insurance (5 vehicles, home owners and condo insurance) as soon as this is settled. Sure their rates are low, but now it makes sense, your only going to get 60% of what you should. BEWARE!

USAA Insurance Has Become a Total Joke
Posted by
MASSACHUSETTS -- I had a cracked windshield. All of my previous insurance companies had a $50 deductible for windshield only claims. I called the USAA line which connects you to Safelite. They quoted me $494 and informed me that USAA covers windshields under the comprehensive, so I would be responsible for $250 (my deductible) of the bill. I have never had a windshield deductible over $50, so I was really taken aback. At any rate, I have had multiple windshields replaced in the past and thought almost $500 sounded a bit high. So I went to the Safelite website directly and put in the information without USAA. They quoted me $314.95. That a $159 discount to NOT use insurance. Plus, then I don't have the claim.
But, wait! There's more!!! I went to the USAA site to double check my coverage and found that they never took off the car that I had a total loss on 2.5 months ago, So, I have been paying insurance on it this whole time. The representative I just spoke to took it off and backdated it, but....
It gets better. After she correctly removed the totaled car, I noticed that the old work truck I had listed as "in storage" was still on the policy. That was my fault, I forgot to call when I sold it. However, I had her remove the truck also and my policy then WENT UP by $60. I asked why that was, and she said it was because by taking off the car and truck I lost my multicar discount. Keep in mind that I still have TWO cars insured by USAA. The problem (she says) is that one is registered in TN and one in MA, so USAA puts them on TWO DIFFERENT POLICIES. I reminded her that USAA serves military personnel who often have cars registered in multiple states, but she said there was nothing she could do about it. She offered to let me speak to a manager. I waited on hold a while and she came back to tell me they would have to call me back tomorrow.
It isn't tomorrow yet, so I am waiting for the call. However, since it is company policy, I doubt there is anything they can do about it. I am going to be looking for a new insurance provider - but not before I tell my many, many fellow military friends and family that USAA is now just one of the many companies that targets, rather than helps, military families.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse's Department of Public Works has received several bid proposals as they look to change out the soon to be obsolete parking pay stations.
The company that operates the data network that allows the nearly 300 parking meters to offer credit card payments is planning to end its service.
Last month, the common council agreed to contract the stations out for bidding under conditions that the new company guarantees maintenance for the systems to avoid technological problems in the future.
So far, the department has received five bids that are currently under review.
The department is working with the current pay station vendor to ensure meters are able to accept credit cards during this process, but still encourages drivers to keep coins on-hand in case of a credit card shutdown.

Harlow R. Fletcher
Harlow Ray Fletcher, 73, of Berne passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at his home while surrounded by his family. He was born on September 12, 1939 in New London, Wisconsin to Ray and Eilene (Fox) Fletcher. He was married on June 3, 1963 to Carolyn Shoemaker.
He was a well-loved teacher for 43 years. He retired from teaching at South Adams Elementary School in 2004. He was a member of the West Missionary Church, where he faithfully served in many capacities. Other groups in which he participated were the Edelweiss Singers, Classroom Teachers Association, and the Reading Teachers Association.
He leaves his legacy with his wife; four daughters, Colleen (Peter) Rupp; and Jeannine (Curtis) Wurster, both of Berne; Christine (Rodney) Burton of Fort Wayne; and Kathleen (Trent) Reynolds of Bellefontaine, Ohio; two brothers, Lee Fletcher of Port Edwards, Wisconsin; and Marvin (Mary) Hintz of Nekoosa, Wisconsin; two sisters, Bonnie (Dennis) Wilhelm; and Betty Ubinger; and grandchildren, Mackenzie, Michaela, Xavier, and Michael; Kirsten and Caleb; Alexandra and Jacob; and Chloe, Zane, and Ezekiel.
He was preceded in death by his father; his mother, Eilene Fox Fletcher Hintz; two brothers, Mark Fletcher; and Gayle Fletcher; and grandson Zachary Fletcher Rupp.
Matthew 25:23 states, "The Master said, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant'." This succinctly characterizes his life. He treasured time spent with his wife of 49 years and his children and grandchildren who frequented their home. Because of his love for the Lord, which led to a passion for others, he invested in countless lives in his church and community. He loved life and cherished each day God blessed him with which was evident to anyone who ever encountered him. Before his illness, his favorite pastime was traveling, including trips to Israel, Europe, Alaska and the British Isles among his favorites.
Although we are never ready to let go of a husband, father, and grandfather, we know the Christian heritage Harlow left us with gives us a hope death cannot take away. 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 says, "When our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die- then at last the Scripture will come true: 'Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?' 57: How we thank God, who gives us victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
Visitation will be from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 7 at Yager-Kirchhofer Funeral Home in Berne and one hour prior to the 10:00 a.m. funeral service on Monday, October 8 at the West Missionary Church in Berne. Officiating will be Pastor Keith Rupp. Burial will take place at Backesto Cemetery in Berne.
Memorials may be made to the West Missionary Church Building Fund or Family LifeCare.
Arrangements provided by Yager-Kirchhofer Funeral Home in Berne. Sign the guest book online at yagerkirchhofer.com.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- A change in how people can access Onondaga County's property tax database has sparked a debate over balancing privacy and safety. On Monday, County Executive Joanie Mahoney changed the way you can search the property tax rolls on the county's website. Previously, you could search by name, but now you can only search by address.
Mahoney says she made the change to protect police officers and other public officials whose home addresses could be discovered by people looking to harm them. But many people are opposed to the change, like realtors and groups who target slum lords. Now, Mahoney is searching for a solution that would work for everyone.
"We're considering an opt in and opt out solution, I'm open to other suggestions if people have them, but the opt out would put all of the information back online, then let people sign up as if it is a do not call registry and take their own information off, and the opt in would be something like the MLS system that realtors use where they have a user name to access the information," said Mahoney.
Mahoney says the changes are a work in progress, but she hopes to finalize them as soon as possible.

text: A spiritually-resonant set from vocalist Dwight Trible – one of the greatest jazz singers of the past few decades! Trible's got a depth that few others can match – a quality that takes us back to the glory days of Leon Thomas with Pharoah Sanders, or Joe Lee Wilson on the Paris scene of the 70s – but heard only on a handful of albums under his own name, plus work with the Build An Ark collective and Life Force Trio! Cosmic reminds us of everything we loved about Dwight's Living Water album a few years back, and this one may be even stronger – sung with a yearning, soaring, soul-shaking voice that's perfect for both the original material, and a few well-chosen classics. Trible is backed by a stellar group of musicians that includes John Beasley on piano and organ and George Harper on tenor sax – and titles include "Speak To Us Of Love", "I've Known Rivers", "In The Beginning GOD", "Love Is Forever", "Little Afrika", "Algeriangeles", "Hyku For Peace/Come Ye", "It's All About Love" and a glorious take on the Five Stairsteps soul classic "Ooh Child"! © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I am angry at him because I have come home from work every day this week and he has been drinking. (He's been home recovering from a very bad URI) I am at the end of my rope. Luckily I had an appointment today with my therapist. That helped. Please just say a prayer, don't need any advice. Thank You.
Prayers for you!
