Best Answer

If you have filed a home insurance claim through your existing home insurance company, you do have the right to change insurance companies if you were unhappy with the service you were provided, or for any other reason. As long as you have coverage in place at the time of the claim, you can cancel your policy and bind coverage with another company. It is important to receive quotes and bind your coverage before cancelling your policy because some companies will not accept homeowners with claims on their claims history report.

What is the different between pmi and title insurance?

PMI and Title insurance are very different. PMI is mortgage insurance for a deposit below 20% on the banking instrument (loan), which is why 80/20 financing eliminates PMI. On the other hand title insurance covers the ownership of the property, if a long lost distant relative with possible claim to the home through the previous homeowner shows up to claim the property, title insurance takes care of this.
