This ties in exactly with what Buggyone posted.

The troubling part for us is that we DID have a sinkhole inspection soon after we initially got the H.O. insurance with them 3 years ago. We didn't get the sinkhole coverage initially but quickly opted for it a couple of months later - had and paid for our half of the inspection, etc. and have had the sinkhole coverage ever since. I suspect they're perhaps looking at the info from when our policy was initially put in force and not seeing the info from a couple of months later when we had the inspection done.

I e-mailed them info and documents confirming the inspection and the payment for it. They're to get in touch with me after they review the situation.

Please let us know if you can get coverage without the 10%-of-dwelling-value deductible.
