Shortly after I became an insurance agent, I was involved in an auto accident.  I was sure that the insurance company of the offending party would take care of me properly.  Without going into all of the gory details, I'll just say that it was surprising to me when I found out I had signed away all my rights to future treatments.  After meeting Scott through BNI I found out about  "The Rules of the Game" and could see how I had been snookered.  I will tell you: the insurance companies are not your friend (I'm not saying they are the evil empire, just saying its a business), so its nice to have a Professional Problem Solver in your corner.

Whenever one of my clients is involved in a serious accident, I don't hesitate to refer them to Scott.

Not much Protection at a High Cost

Card plans are for the issuer's bottom line

By: Sandy Shore of Nova Debt

Credit card "protection plans" are not worth the cost, says credit counselor
Sandy Shore. These plans from credit vard issuer, which promise to pay all or a portion of your credit card bill if you become disabled, lose your job or die, are especially popular during this time of high unemployment and loopholes. The plan may not kick in if you lose your job for performance reasons...if you are disabled but can do some other disability coverage. The monthly fee rangeges from 35 cents to 99 cents per $100 of debt. Better: Build up an emergency fund or purchase extra life insurance.
