PERNiCIoUS PRACTICES.
OF Certain Agents of Casualty Cos.
Rebuked by Commissioner.

State Insurance Commissioner An
drew F. Hayey in the June bulletin of
the state insurance department re-
Dukes in strong terms certain agents
of casualty insurance companies, who
seek to gain business by making false
statements and representations relative
to competing companies and warns
them that the authority of any COM
pany or agent guilty of such practices
is likely to be discontinued by the
State insurance department. OF this
so called twisting of policyholders
Comr. Havey says:
Information has reached the depart
ment that certain agents of casualty
companies are practicing the disgust
ing and discredited system of twist
ing" Every agent i'm Maine knows
what twisting" is and knows also that
it is a pernicious practice. Beyond the
fact that the agent who does 1t is UNI
reliable, there is the added fact that
it does not speak well of his ability
to get business. There is enough legi-
innate business to be had without re-
sorting to this method and in the long
run the agent will be the sufferer, for
misrepresentation and fraud are at the
bottom of twisting and they will
out sometime.
We have congratulated ourselves on
the fact that insurance business as
conducted by Maine agents has been
open and above board. but it seems
from unmistakable evidence that has
come to us recently that we must re-
cede from our position and accept the
inevitable There is only one way to
stop 'twistipgg'' and that is by dealing
summarily with those guilty of it. We
have already been obliged. for the pro-
lection of the honest agent, to call one
agent of and unless certain others
cease making false statements and
Misrepresentation relative to compet-
ing companies, theirs shall be the
same lot.
they represent are DESTROYS of having
their business placed on a more stable
basis; they are DESTROYS of getting in
closer touch with the insured; they
want him to have better understand
ing of the insurance business in gen
eral, for they realize that the effective
and satisfactory way to eliminate the
antagonism and luminosity against in
surance companies is by educating the
insured to the real existing facts.
Twisting" is a step backward. 1t is
detrimental to the best interests of the
insured and the company 1t destroys
efforts to increase the benefits to the
policyholdcr. 1t must and will be
stopped in Maine.
I'VE hereby inform ali interested
parties that the practice of 50 called
twisting of policyholders-and, in
our opinion, Efforts to secure agents or
collectors Of one company by another
company or it's representatives is
Twisting" also-will be held by this
department as sufficient cause to dis
