You do not mention whether you paid the remaining balance of $224 by 5/29/24. My guess is that you didn't and that is why GEICO cancelled the... View More

You could contact the case administrator(s) to learn more about the lawsuits. They should have access to the files, and would probably know more about the current disposition of the lawsuits. They would know better than attorneys on a public forum who are not familiar with the matter. Good luck

You may want to speak to an attorney about the implications of the... View More
