National General Insurance (NGIC) falsely claimed in a Verified Denial that Scott was never their customer, despite overwhelming documentation proving otherwise. This denial came after they:
Collected premiums from him
Issued policy documents under their name
Assigned an adjuster
Made the fault determination
And later attempted to offload blame to Home State County Mutual as the underwriter
Scott has multiple exhibits ready (E-* through E-* and B-*) that clearly show NGIC acted as the carrier, not just a third party or servicer.
???? Key Claims / Issues:
Bad Faith: NGIC falsely denied the existence of the contractual relationship.
Fraud / Misrepresentation: Verified Denial contradicts recorded calls, emails, and policy docs.
Tampering / Access Obstruction: Scott was locked out of his NGIC online account after requesting a full claim file.
Stalling Tactics: NGIC failed to respond to settlement offers and may be preparing for procedural slow-roll.
