Survival Insurance Inc

The state Department of Insurance is seeking to revoke the license of Survival Insurance Inc., one of the largest auto insurance brokerages in California, for alleged price-gouging and threats against customers. Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush said his department has found hundreds of violations and logged more than 700 complaints against the Los Angeles-based company since 1997.

Survival Insurance Inc., accused by the state Department of Insurance last month of price-gouging and threatening its customers, filed papers recently stating it will defend itself against the charges, which could result in the revocation of its license. The Department of Insurance said that more than 700 complaints were logged against the Los Angeles-based company since 1997.
