Consumer Toolkit, An Online Presentation Of An Application, The Search Agent: New Methods For New Year's Eve

We started with new tools for consumers in the new year, including a simple way to search for past violations and complaints against insurance companies and agents.

The website of the Commissioner of Insurance now includes a "consumer toolbox" that provides:

• Easy to understand information on various types of insurance.

• Online store - and control - complaints against the insurance company.

• online filing of complaints to an insurance agent or broker.

• And the new search system for contacts, licensing, consumer complaints and previous violations by agents or companies.

The agency also continues to develop its website and social media presence, including a new page on Facebook.
