GEICO Adds Adult Child to Policy Without Consent and Refuses Removal
GEICO unilaterally added an adult child who does not reside with the policyholder to their auto insurance, then demanded proof of separate residence or the child's own insurance to remove them. The insurer also failed to remove a sold vehicle despite the policyholder doing so through the online account. Auto insurers routinely add household members based on address data without customer authorization, then create bureaucratic barriers to removing them.
