Snowmageddon still raging outside.
Is it really supposed to be that bad? Compared to 100+ inches of lake effect snow, for instance? Cause I live in the land of Nor'easter Ground Zero, and this storm is supposed to be heading this way.
Is worried.

Does this sound right to anybody with home owning experience?
Person's house catches on fire. Insurance company says that the last payment was applied to someone else's account so person has not made their insurance payment. WTF!?!

Buh?
Sounds very shady to me -- it's the insurance company's error, so they're the one's liable.

DJ, it sounds like either it would be a major-lawyer-intensive situation (say, an intermediary insurance agency had mishandled the payment) or the person is making up some reason for not having money after the fire.
Note that my house insurance gets held in escrow by my mortgage company, so it's possible that they could mispay it in some bizarre computing mishap.

Insurance company error = non-payment? If the insurance company does not back down, sounds like time to consult a lawyer.

I have no idea. We're not getting that much snow here; the high winds are causing trouble with drifting, though. When you go outside, it feels like you're being whipped with ice pellets.

It's snraining here. Or, wait.....maybe it's gone back to snow already. It keeps switching.

And by "not that much snow" I guess I should clarify and say we'll probably end up with less than a foot.
(Not an ape foot.)

This is their situation also. It's not one of the larger insurance companies. I just can't imagine how something like that would happen. Usually I'm pretty good at picking back over something so I can see exactly where the problem is, but here all I can see is insurance co. doesn't want to pay so they tell the poor person, who is unlikely to think they can afford an attorney, payment wasn't made (if I'm not mistaken, the whole, "Your payment went to another account." thing came up after mortgage co said check was cashed) then came up with another reason not to pay.
