Homeowners…beware!
A Black couple from California is without home insurance after a satellite photo captured solar panels on their roof, mistaken for other “growth,” Daily Mail reported.
Coleman’s husband, Anthony, thinks companies use strange tactics to save money. “I feel they made a decision based on technology just to reduce their portfolio and to offload our property as they are doing with thousands of others in the state of California,” he said.
“They don’t want to get slammed by the Department of Insurance,” Susman said.
“And believe me, they will if they’re not renewing you for a reason that doesn’t exist.”
After being dropped by Liberty Mutual, which, in a statement, said it doesn’t “publicly discuss the details of an individual underwriting decision,” the Colemans found comfort with a competitor but at a higher cost.
However, before, the couple hired a roofer to prove the stability of their roof, but Liberty Mutual decided not to reverse its decision.
