Insurance adjuster sent me an "authorization for disclosure of consumer information" form to sign
Riverside, CA | 13 hours ago
Car was stolen, filed police report and notified insurance. Adjuster questioned me on the phone and recorded call. Said they would email documents to sign and fedex back. The one that concerns me is this "authorization for disclosure of consumer information" form. It gives the adjuster or investigator permission to access pretty much any records they want, including any financial records, phone records, pretty much has everything checked off. I am already sending them my phone records and bank statements as they requested those as well.
I don't feel comfortable signing a document that gives them blanket authority like this. Will this delay my claim or get it denied if I refuse?
This seems like the definition of bad faith that they would want to investigate me the moment I file a claim. I want to cooperate, but I feel they are over steeping what is fair.
I've searched other places for an answer and have been told everything from "give them anything they want or they'll deny your claim" to "don't sign it, it's a violation of rights and bad faith"
