Beware Allstate Roadside Service

[billdeserthills]

I got a call from them this morning, they wanted me to unlock a travel trailer and provided me with their credit card # and the address. My mistake was in not charging the card Before doing the work--Of course the card was declined. A call placed to them
did nothing for me but waste more of my time,while they insisted that my method of processing credit cards is at fault!--
Of course now I'll also need to call back on Monday and expend more of my time on hold while Allstate thinks up more clever excuses

This is gonna be a first time/last time situation for me, in the future anyone paying by credit card will be charged upfront

I called Allstate on Monday, their representative eventually felt the need to hang up on me
she called back a few minutes later and said she will get me a check sent out
I don't usually even talk to these type providers in the first place, I think I'll just go back to just hanging up on them

They hounded me many, many, many years ago when I was on call. It was a Saturday. They called at least 6 times over a 3 hour period. Wanting to know our availability and prices to unlock a Chevy blah blah blah. I told them, each time, that we did not do any form of automotive work. By the 6th time they called I said, in no uncertain terms, that if they called again I would contact the local police for harassment. They got the clue; never bothered any of the on call guys again.

Allstate did promptly send me a check & unless it bounces I will say they did a good job
getting it out to me right away
