Now I am receiving calls and a letter from a company called The Baldwin Group located at 3400 Southern Trace in TV wanting Trust Info. I don't know this company and am surprised at their having some of my personal info. Have any of you had this experience? I have not contacted my insurance company yet as I thought I'd get my ducks all in a row before maybe raising my shotgun. Any info, ideas, suggestions or sharing of what you've been thru would be appreciated. I think it's always good for us to be out in the open of scams and tactics that are currently be used against individuals. Thanks and best to each of you out in the jungle.
Some time back, The Villages Insurance were renamed to The Baldwin Group. My understanding is they have been part of this larger group and have rebranded and now have access to more vendors. If your property is held in a trust or the mortgage is part of a trust, home owners need this information so they can properly pay/notify the trust in the event of a claim.
I am "hearing" that some insurance companies are requiring a roof inspection before insuring and/or requiring a "roof deductible" separate from the normal deductible.
