waterdog101, I called my agent to request quotes with differing increases in my deductible. I guess he was too busy to even return my call so I called another agent's office within the same insurance company. That agent was kind enough to give me an 800 number to contact the company directly.

Increasing my deductible to $5,000.00 as you did also saved me $500.00. I requested the change and will pay the bill before the due date.

I also requested a change in my agent. If the agent is too busy to even return my call, or contact me a minimum of once a year to discuss my coverages then he is not performing his duties to my satisfaction. Plus, I just don't trust him due to various interactions in the past.
