shouldn't matter at all. they bought their business, which means they
bought their customers. they will get rid of a bunch of highly paid
middlemen that you never spoke to, consolidate financials and other stuff
you don't care about, screw up the database (which might cause some grief)
and that's about all. the agents and other folks stay the same. Happens all
the time, especially in financial services where there's no friction (you
don't need to move plants or decide to update the widget molds). they might
decide that the collector car piece of the biz is not worth their time, in
which case they'll offload it to someone else and you STILL won't care.

Subject: Re: [FOT] Collector car insurance and Great American
My car's covered through Parish-Heacock too. I don't recall notification
of
a sell-out to Infinity, but I tend not to bother about that and may not
have
paid attention. I figure my car is covered by a certain policy covering
certain things at a certain rate, and changing the company does not
change
the contract (contract might change on renewal, however, so I'd check
the
terms if a different insuror popped up next time). Parish (and
Infinity?)
have to honor the contract agreed to.
What I did get from Parish that I recall was a notification that, paying
the
minimum premium, I had room to declare a greater value for my car and
trailer on the assumption these things do increase in value (or, the
repair
cost rises), and that they would accept a 20% increase in stated value
without any need for additional documentation. I called the nice lady
there
and actually got my declared value raised about 23% to make it nice
round
numbers.
Needless to say, I've been very happy being a Parish customer.
