Q: My home owners insurance keeps delaying payment and changing how much they'll pay and changes agents often.
This has been going on for months, since february 2024 and work was completed end of May. I have one company threatening to put a lien on my home now.
A: A Wisconsin attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It's possible it could be bad faith claims practices - and it's possible it might not be. More details are needed. Claims do change hands regularly, depending on the carrier's protocols. It could depend on what is causing the delays. One option is to consider litigating the claim with the carrier if it is clear that it will be going nowhere. You could consider a consult with a local attorney there to help you make a decision as to whether such a case would have merits, and whether you'd want to handle it on your own (possibly through small claims, depending on the amount) or through a law firm. Good luck
