Q: How can I compel a car insurance company to send proof of valid insurance policy directly to a state?
This issue arose when I was on my parent's car insurance as a teen. I learned four months ago that my license is suspended in two states I used to live in. My father has been asking the car insurance company to send the proof of insurance from 2019 for four months. Each time they say they are going to send it but the state never receives it. I need this resolved before the spring. How do I get in contact with the car insurance if I wasn't the policy holder? I assume the policy has an arbitration clause, but does South Carolina have a state administrative function for car insurance disputes?
A:
Yes, SC Department of Insurance has a consumer complaint department they may be helpful to you.
