21st Century Insurance Story
The founder of 21st Century Insurance was Louis W.Foster, who founded the company in the year 1958, with the help of his experience of 20 years as an independent agent. An inter-insurance exchange is quite similar to a cooperative, where most of the policyholders try to insure the losses of the other policyholders. It was in the year 1968, a decision was made to convert the inter insurance exchange to the stock. It was the federal government who had minimized the tax for the advantages, and then the California Department of Insurance raised its capital and stock requirements. It was one of the most unique annals in the business of California. The profits that resulted on the use of this exchange were considered for measuring the amount of equity of the policy holders, where were entitled to the new company.$2 million were written on behalf of the company, in the year 1969, and $ 5 million was reached in the year 1972, and then $10 million in the year 1975.The company soon grew, and in a few years the company moved to Century City, in order to accommodate the ever increasing staff and number of policies. This was in the year 1980 that the company moved to its current headquarters, in Woodland hills. 21st Century Insurance has always seen its rapid growth, and expanded to many areas such as Arizonia, Washington, Georgia, Pennsylvania.Today the company is said to be employing more than 2500 employees and occupies a 11 storey headquarters building in Woodland Hills. The company also has 14 service offices, along with 9 drive in claim centers and 5 vehicle inspection centers.

Last Thursday they (21st Century)eliminated the last 40 field marketing reps from their agency auto side. They are non renewing the business and dropping the agency relationship altogether. The Agency Auto side was over one billion strong in 2006. I think this is the real story. Take that to the bank. Oh yeah this division used to be AIG Agency Auto until earlier this year.

And now.... 21st Century was bought by Farmers a few months ago.....

This explains why they are dropping the agency relationship....

I hate it when the first post someone makes is plugging another site or promoting some business. How about some kind of proper introduction first? In polite company it is appropriate to introduce yourself before you try to promote something else. Maybe something like "I am xrac with xyz insurance company and I am just starting out in this business". I think all participants should make a solid contribute to a forum and get some posts under their belts before they start trying to promote something.

Just my opinion!~

One of his company's most memorable challenges was the placement of liability insurance on the automobiles used in the Montgomery bus boycott in 1957. White-owned insurance companies cancelled the liability insurance policies on the vehicles used by boycotters, threatening the success of the civil rights action. When the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. approached him for assistance, Alexander contacted Lloyd's of London Insurance Company and obtained the desperately needed coverage. This bold and daring move enabled the boycott to continue and ultimately achieve its goal.
Survivors include his wife of 26 years, Dr. Lenora Cole-Alexander, two daughters, six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and a sister.

I thought that the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company was the most successful black-owned insurance company.

They are not exactly dropping everyone. They are transitioning the agent policies to Bristol West. The 21st Century customers will be getting a proposal from Bristol West.

Per usual, you guys are right. They were part of AIG and are now owned by Farmers which is owned by Zurich. It's funny how 21man left that part out of his story / SPAM.

I like 21st because they have been raising their rates constantly since they have changed a couple hands so it is very easy to take their business. Their stock is at a whopping $4 per share which makes them look like a very weak a company as well.
