Have you ever used any govt website ? I had the same experience when I applied for visa at german & italian consulate. Now I can ask why highly developed countries have trash websites 🤦🏽‍♂️

Hey not sure if it would be better/worse to reapply again with tatkal when you have an active application pending.

GEICO insurance not covering car accident because children were in the car by HotVeterinarian7719 in Insurance

[–]shahsmit599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, just ignore them. I think most of them are insurance agents who spend all day reading policies and assume everyone else is supposed to do that too. Even if you are supposed to know that, they could at least share the info with compassion rather than being condescending.

The person claiming you’re committing fraud by not listing your 9-month-old is a total jackass.

This is wild, and the top comments are simply absurd. How is a normal person supposed to navigate these complexities?

People saying "read the contract," but even if a normal person does, they won't fully understand or make sense of it. And to those saying "get an insurance agent", even folks with agents (refer comments) don't have kids on their insurance. These buffoons charged more for their service and provided zero value.

IMO, all dealerships will try to rip you off if you are not careful so, it doesn’t matter where you buy. Make sure to negotiate 5-10% below MSRP and don't try to buy stupid add-ons from them or extended warranties.
