Has anyone else been getting checks from their car insurance carrier(s)?

In the past couple of weeks, I have gotten two checks attached to letters saying. "This refund is due to a recent adjustment to your policy." One was from my current insurers for $46 and change, the other arrived today from my previous carrier and is for just short of $207. I just turned 78 and haven't had a ticket since the night my now 53-year-old daughter graduated from high school. I was driving a '72 Chevy Vega the last time I had an accident that was my fault. I did take some sort of flying object in my windshield on the Interstate a few years back. I was rearended at a stoplight in 1997 and because of Florida's no-fault law my insurance paid my medical bills. I settled a claim with the driver who hit me, he had forgotten to take his insulin and was out of it at eight in the morning. My insurance has been going up all the time and I was shocked to get these checks. I will cross-post this to the Florida forum because it may be a local thing.

1. Sometimes insurance companies issue rebates.

Ask them or your state's insurance commisioner. They are regulated, so it's complex.

2. The identical cryptic language from two companies makes me wonder

if they had hands in the same cookie jar.

3. Or maybe the commisioner made a ruling that applies to both.

See if there's an explanation with the check, or on their web site or via customer service.

Good luck.

4. Not likely in Florida.

I will cash the check. I should be able to figure out what changed when I get my next bill.
