Is it possible to sign up with Direct Auto if I have an outstanding balance with Allstate?
I was with Allstate for about a year until my rates doubled, which led me to not renew my policy. I still owe them around $115. After switching to another company, they significantly increased their rates as well. I left that company on good terms. Now, I’m looking to sign up with Direct Auto since I received an attractive quote, but I noticed that the payment page states “An Allstate brand.” If I go ahead and sign up, will there be any issues that could lead to my cancellation?
It’s understandable to have concerns about signing up with an insurance company if you still owe money to another provider. When it comes to Direct Auto being associated with Allstate, it generally shouldn’t affect your ability to sign up with them directly. However, owing money to Allstate could potentially impact your insurance history and the underwriting process.
Insurance companies often check your payment history and might consider outstanding debts during their evaluation. It’s a good idea to contact Direct Auto directly and explain your situation to clarify any potential issues. They can provide specific guidance on how your outstanding balance with Allstate may affect your application. In the meantime, you might also want to consider settling your debt with Allstate to avoid any complications in the future.
