After two decades spent as loyal customers to Liberty Mutual, a California couple recently discovered that the insurer had decided to cut ties, sending Janice and Anthony Coleman a “non-renewal” letter when solar panels on the roof were mistaken as moss, mildew, and algae growth. Here’s the story, from a report via Yahoo News:
Janice and Anthony Coleman, longtime homeowners in Fairfield, California, were shocked when Liberty Mutual, their home insurance provider of 20 years, sent a non-renewal notice. The reason? An aerial photograph from space, supposedly showing the roof, was used as justification.
Liberty Mutual claimed the roof had moss, mildew and algae growth, but the Colemans insist the alleged damage was simply their solar panels.
Now, despite the fact that a professional roofer determined the roof was in fine working condition and there was no moss or mildew, Liberty Mutual maintained the revocation of coverage, and the Colemans were left without a remedy; the company’s actions process and actions were completely within the bounds of the the law.
