One cancellation issue we found
Current company instructions, regulator findings and customer reports are labeled separately. That way you can see what is official, what is reported and what is older context.
Progressive cancellation requires a representative and policy-specific checks
Progressive says a representative must help cancel the policy, even though many routine policy changes can be completed online. The result can vary by state and policy: a cancellation fee may apply, prepaid premium may be refunded and replacement coverage should begin before required auto coverage ends. Contact Progressive with the policy number and desired future date, then ask for the final premium calculation and written effective date.
