Farmers Insurance Internal Memos Released! According to memos from Farmers Insurance, Dietz and his colleagues’ salaries and bonuses were tied to practices that encouraged the delay, denial, underpayment and forced litigation of claims. One document encouraged adjusters to settle small claims below their value, adding adjusters should learn “…to say “sorry, no more,” with a toothy grin and mean it.” Make sure to read the very last page of this document! This sums up Farmers Insurance: Farmers Insurance Colossus Internal Memos!! (Must read!)

Robert Dietz was a Senior Claims Adjuster for Farmers Insurance Exchange from 1987 until 2001. According to Robert, Farmers Insurance used Colossus to "automatically cut 20 percent from what they know they owe on a claim.” For details see Farmers Insurance Rob Dietz | Rob Dietz Script (Mr. Dietz endorses R-67, see video below)
