Question : My insurance screwed my out of . I figured out a way to screw them out of 0 or more. Should I do it?
Here’s what happened:

I have home warranty insurance. It’s not home owners’ insurance, they insure all my appliances and stuff. I buy it purely for the convenience of it because I call one number and they send out the appropriate repairman, and then I get service at a discount.

So the handle broke off my faucet broke in my bathroom. I set up an appointment with my home warrenty company to fix it. Then I bought a new faucet to replace to old one. I stayed home from work to meet the repair guy.

Repair guy showed up and said home warranty company would buy me a new faucet, I told him I knew this, but I wanted a pretty one so I bought my own. He called the company for authorization to install it, and they DENIED him for no reason. He then offered to install it for $ 159, outside the warranty. I didn’t want to miss more work, so I said okay and paid him. Normally with the warranty, I would only have to pay $ 60.

Then I called up the home warranty company to complain. Under the contract with me they have to 1) buy me a new faucet and 2) install it. So I asked why they denied me the installation when I was asking for LESS service than what I was entitled to. They admitted that they messed up and then offered to refund me $ 80. I told them that I really should have only paid $ 60, and I paid $ 159, so my refund should be $ 99, not $ 80. Again they insisted that they would only pay $ 80.

I told them that they were being ridiculous, and that this insurance was becoming more of a pain than it was worth. I JUST renewed it a few days earier and so I then asked whether I would get a pro-rated refund if I cancelled. They informed me that if I cancel in the first 30 days, I get a full refund.

Then I asked what would happen to the faucet repair costs if I cancelled. Would I not get the $ 80 refund since I will have cancelled my insurance. They told me, no, I would still get the $ 80 refund. They cover all repairs until I cancel apparently!

Here’s what I told them: I am going to cancel, but I have 2 other things I need repaired that I have been putting off due to time issues: 1) my heater and 2) a leaky outdoor faucet. This will probably cost at least $ 500 to repair. So I told them that either they refund me the additional $ 19, OR I am going to come out and have them repair those 2 things, and then cancel my insurance for a full refund.

They still refused to give me the $ 19 even though I told them this plan!!! Should I go through with it?
