Well, they would NOT do that!!! We called and asked them. I remind you that this is a NATIONWIDE insurance company. I’m not stupid. We tried to have the check made out to us. No go…Oh well, we have moved on after 26 years with the same “Nationwide” company.

You shouldn’t have just put the check in a drawer and not done anything. As the insured on the policy, you should’ve been able to request a new one be issued in just your name. You have the legal right to receive the money, less your deductible, in your name only if that was what you wanted. But this should’ve been done at the time the check was issued!

Just because you have unclaimed property does not necessarily mean you can get your property! There are so many technicalities. We had an insurance claim for hail damage with a major “nationwide” insurance company. They wrote a pre-repair check to us and the SUGGESTED repair shop. We decided to NOT have the Bondo repair work on the roof of our new pickup truck back in 1997 (vehicle was a 1996 model). We simply put the check in a drawer. Years later we heard that we had money available with the State of Florida. We made a claim for this and received ONLY HALF of the check because it was written to us AND the repair shop who never even touched our vehicle or saw the vehicle. We paid the premiums but could not receive the entire amount. Thanks for the link anyway. The State of Florida still has half of the check for the damages that we suffered.
