<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn Time Insurance Payment is Critical <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you pay a credit card bill late, you get a late fee. But if your insurance company doesn’t get paid, you might have no insurance. That’s why it’s critical to make your insurance payments on time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if the delay is not your fault? You didn’t get a bill. Or you mailed the payment days ago, but the insurance company hasn’t recorded it. It may not matter. Your insurance can still be canceled if your payment is late, no matter the reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your policy cancels, two bad things happen. First, you have no insurance. Second, you’ll pay more for insurance when you need to re-start coverage. So it’s very important to make sure your policy stays active. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ways to Make Sure Your Insurance Payment is on Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

- Pay online – <\/strong>Most insurance companies have a way to pay your bill instantly online. You can pay by credit card, debit card or automatic bank account withdrawal. Noyes Hall & Allen clients can find their insurance company here to pay an insurance bill online. <\/a><\/li>
- Automatic Payments (EFT) – <\/strong>Allow the insurance company to withdraw payments directly from your bank account. This ensures that your policy payments are always up to date. <\/li>
- AVOID Bill Pay Services – <\/strong>Many banks offer online bill payment services. These don’t work well with insurance bills. They don’t include your payment slip, and must be manually processed. Also, you may have more than one policy. Without the ticket, the insurance company doesn’t know which one you’re paying. <\/li>
- Double check the insurance company’s address – <\/strong>Many insurance companies use payment processing services. These can be thousands of miles from the insurance company office. If you mail your payment to the insurance company, they will forward it to the payment service. This causes delays in recording payments.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
