They are a bunch of crooks and will take your money and add fees to get more money out of you. They know you have to pay or they threaten to attack your credit. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are CROOKS!

I have used First Insurance funding for several years. I have never had an issue until COVID 19. I have tried to call and work out something on our 4K insurance payment while we are closed during this pandemic. Their response to me was they cannot help because the our state has not mandated them to do anything. So they will only help their customers if the state makes them.

I sent an email to their COVID 19 response email expressing our situation and they never responded. It's funny because their website says they are here to help. I should also mention that I called their office and they did make one offer to help. They said they would give me a 10 day grace period to make the payment otherwise the policy will be scheduled to be cancelled.

Thanks for all the help First Insurance Funding! Due to their lack of compassion and failure to respond we will no longer being doing business with them in the future. This company should be ashamed of their actions.

Terrible, unethical company. Never was late one 1 payment in 5 years. Even paid over at times. When I asked for Covid Reflif just to defer payments for 30 days, they denied us and chose not to honor our request during a time like this. Most Unethical company I have ever worked with. I will NEVER use this company again and you shouldn't either.

They charge $15 processing fee, and that's the lowest if you pay with bank account. CC fee is 25. Wouldn't recommend it even to my enemy.

Our company uses First Insurance Funding to fund our corporate policies. This company has billing practices that are unethical. Their statement are dated the 21st of the month but do not get received into our office until the 28th of the month. They require the payment to be received in by the 8th of the following month. Giving our company to short of a period of time to turn around and issue a payment. usually companies have a 20 day term plus 8 days grace period. This companies term is much shorter forcing late penalties to charged.

Worst Insurance company I've ever used. They told us they sent someone out to look at our property to give us a list of what had to be done. Never did but lied and said they did. Billing is a nightmare, we sold our property and cancelled our insurance over 4 months ago and are still getting billed for the whole year with interest. Water bridge sent a refund check for our overpayment but First Insurance kept the check and as I said still billing us. Seriously, do not even consider using this company, what a scam!

$15 to make a payment over the phone or online- after they never send you a bill so you are forced to make a last minute payment. This company just doesn't seem right.
