OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler has ordered 911-Dry LLC to stop offering to pay customers’ insurance deductibles.
The general contractor, based in Bellingham, provides loss and mitigation services on claims made under insurance policies. The 911-Dry website states the company processes claims on behalf of customers, advertises direct insurance billing, and offers up to $2,500 in “deductible assistance.”
The cease-and-desist order, issued on Sept. 19, requires 911-Dry to stop its practice of “waiving, rebating, giving, paying, or offering to waive, rebate, give, or pay all or any part of a Washington claimant’s casualty or property insurance deductible.”
