These are enforcement actions taken in 2007 by Mike Kreidler, Washington State Insurance Commissioner. Enforcement actions by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner are a primary tool in protecting the people of Washington.
For copies of these orders, send e-mail to the Commissioner's public records officer at ericm@oic.wa.gov or call 360-725-7003. Please state the order number when requesting any information.
If you know of a situation where a company may have acted illegally, or if you need help with an insurance matter, please let us know. To get help or report possible violations, use the Request for Assistance form on this web site or call 1-800-562-6900 (in Washington).
You can send e-mail to:CAD@oic.wa.gov
explaining the problem, but in most cases we will need to see copies of policies, letters, and other things.
If the matter involves an agent or broker instead of an insurer, call 360-725-7263 or send e-mail to
vickie@oic.wa.gov.
If you are interested, you can look at the laws that authorize the Commissioner to suspend or revoke an individual's or company's privilege to do an insurance business in Washington, and authorize him to fine licensees and companies.
