Complaint narrative:
I learned from Lexus Nexis that my homeowner 's insurance company ( XXXX ) reports that I had three claims against my policy. Lexis Nexis is reporting that XXXX stated that three claims had been filed by me. In XX/XX/XXXX, a theft claim was filed in XX/XX/XXXX for leakage and another in XX/XX/XXXX for leakage. I filed a claim in XXXX of XXXX due to pipes suddenly bursting in my upstairs main bathroom. I was told to find someone to stop the water flow and prevent further damage. I was able to reach XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and schedule with them. I was told that my policy would cover the rehab and the repairs, We were given a verbal " go ahead '' to complete the rehab. On that same call the adjuster also informed me that any expenses that I incurred would be reimbursed through my policy up to the policy limits. I was asked to take pictures and upload them to the portal before any repair work was done. I uploaded the pictures of all the affected areas, I submitted all my documentation and information from the contractors for the rehab and cost of repairs. They never responded or acknowledged my claim, I had to return to my home state of North Carolina after learning that my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I called/emailed the XXXX. and got no response, I was gone from Mid XXXX  my Mother transitioned XX/XX/XXXX when I called them back to check the status and proceed with repairs, they first told me the claim wasn't filed timely, then I was told that they never received my claim or the documents and pictures I uploaded to their website. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told by the supervisor that they had received an anonymous call stating that I was trying to commit insurance fraud, therefore a claim file was never created. I could not use my bathrooms for almost a month, I then paid over {$40000.00}. out of my pocket for repairs. I called XXXX back, still trying to recoup some money from my loss, they sent an adjuster, two months later, but by then the repairs had been completed, they told me my claim was void because they were supposed to inspect before the repairs were done. They then added a second loss claim that duplicated my initial XXXX is also reporting a theft claim, which I never filed. All of these fraudulent claims are being reported to Lexus Nexis. 
The Insurance company has also raised my coverage amounts without my consent and notifying me, which resulted in an increase of my premiums. 
I have repeatedly requested documentation for proof of these claims to no avail. I have contacted the Insurance commissioner case # XXXX, I was told it would be assigned to another division base on them not considering this a criminal offense. I have waited for three weeks for a response from them.
