(As of 3/1/2008 have not heard one word from anyone at Farm Bureau except Jack Maxwell who ask me not to e-mail him anymore.)

 

Today, 1/5/07 we wrote letters and e-mails to different people at the Missouri Farm Bureau,  the National Farm Bureau, and different government representatives.  Our hope is that someone there will take an interest in our situation and investigate our claims.  Maybe someone higher up the chain of command will be concerned about Farm Bureaus image and do something to protect it from some of its own peoples actions.

Here is a copy of a typical letter we sent to people at the state and national levels of Farm Bureau:

 

 

January 5, 2007
Farm Bureau

We have an unresolved fire loss claim with your Town and Country Insurance branch in Jefferson City Missouri. We are contacting you directly because we are at a point of total devastation. We have gone from being ready to retire after 35 years of hard work to having lost our entire retirement savings and all our personal things from those years. We have had good times and bad times in our life, but nothing has been as hard on us as the last four years since our fire and resulting ordeal with your insurance company. We are literally at our wits end. We don’t know what to do except keep trying, hope we do the right thing, and hope someone at Farm Bureau will help us. Our home owners insurance was non-renewed in July of 2004. We have not been able to adequately insure since then. We have always feared Farm Bureau would cancel or non-renew our membership and cause us to loose our health insurance with blue Cross as well. We have been no match for the tactics and expertise used against us by your claims manager Eugene Parton, and Bob Brady your attorney from the Brown and James law firm in Saint Louis. We had no idea there was even a problem with our claim on September the ninth 2003, just thirty five days after we submitted our proof of loss. But we later learned Eugene Parton had already at that early date employed Bob Brady to begin the attempt to deny our claim.  If you go to our website that we started, www.farmbureaulies.com you can get our side of the complete ordeal. You may hold it against us for starting this web site before contacting you but this attempt to contact Farm Bureau representatives only came to our minds after Eugene Parton and Bob Brady delivered the final blow to us by agreeing to give us one hundred twenty five thousand dollars to drop our law suit then trying to add more terms to it later. Please understand our desperation. As I stated earlier we don’t know what to do. After reading the series of articles about insurance in the Kansas City Star on December the tenth of 2006 our hopes were dampened even more. We only hope what we do is the right thing. Even now we are considering placing a billboard on our property along I-70 where the fire occurred to promote this website. If we could go back to July the ninth of 2003, the day of the fire we would do everything different. But of course we don’t have that opportunity. We are also sending this letter to your associates at Farm Bureau in the hope that someone there will look at our plight and help us.

Thank You
