Cancel my policy with nationwide

Cancel my policy with nationwide. I had a sick dog yesterday. Was told underwriters were not thru approving my transfer from Kelly who died 9/23:25 to my new rescue liberty. I was told I would not be covered if I went to the vet yesterday I wouldn’t get coverage until the 16th. I said to the fella that is unacceptable. I was gonna pay for nationwide a year in advance because I love nationwide but after yesterday, I do not love nationwide. I want you to cancel my policy. I have to take the dog back again today cost me $244 yesterday and Dan only knows what it’s gonna cost me today but nationwide is not there for me no exception could be made. I have been with you folks for years. I had Kelly the Russian Blanca for five years and you did good and now all of a sudden you don’t give a shit about my liberty my Rescue that I got in October because of paperwork totally unacceptable. I yelled at the guy I’ve been in Customer Service for 46 years and there is always something that can be done but obviously not with nationwide underwriters rule. The law will underwriters can rule the law from now on cancel my policy. I will not renew. I told the fella that yesterday, but he really didn’t want to hear it so I’m telling you again cancel my policy with nationwide insurance it’s not gonna be active until 116 anyway and I’m in limbo. Well I lost my Kelly nine 2325. I still haven’t recovered from that and nationwide isn’t there for my liberty my new Rescue she’s five months old so this is the final thing I have to say to nationwide shame on you. You have no heart my Libby deserves to be treated better. It’s bad enough that she was taken to Paws Rescue and I got her the day after she showed up there, but she was sick yesterday and I’ve gotta take her back tomorrow and you’re not there for us so nationwide can take a fly and leap. I even asked to talk to the underwriting department yesterday and I was told that that was not possible. Oh really again I was in Customer Service for 46 years and I gotta tell you I did a much better job than you folks do.Ann B Bouchelle Bouchelle
