[345bill]

In August 08 we updated all of our Insurance Policies, which involved changing our homeowners to a different company.

Check out this letter we received today, dated 01-02-09:

Dear Policyholder(s):

We have received information regarding your dwelling located at above address. As a result, we feel the possibility of future losses can be minimized by completion of the attached improvement recommendations.

MANDATORY IMPROVEMENTS
1) Relinquish the care and ownership of your Pit Bull.

SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS
None

DUE DATE: Please return this letter no later than March 1, 2009. If not returned on the due date, we will assume the improvements have not been completed. Then they ask for my dated signature.

I'd like to mention that when we opened the policy the agent showed some concern, did some checking on his computer, then said it should not be a problem. Now sometime in November a Gentleman from the Ins. Co. showed up at our door wanting to take pictures of front, back & sides of residence. He shows concern about having a Pit Bull but by the time he left he stated "I cant see where this dog should be any problem."

Not that age would make any difference but I'd like to mention this "Boy" will be thirteen (in people yrs.) years old in Feb. and has been part of our family since the day he was born and this Ins. Co. is requiring us to relinquish him!!! They must of made this choice based on the reputation of his breed, and not even considered any other factors.

WE wont even consider what they are saying but before we contact our agent I'd like to get some comments from any Forum members. Can an Ins. Co. even legally do this?? Even if our agent has a way to work around this we no longer feel a company with this type of policy is one that we want to continue supporting in the first place. What do you guys think??

THANKS FOR READING AND LETTING ME VENT A LITTLE HERE!
