Customer who Refuses to Purchase Flood Insurance

Answered by: 

Question: 
We have a customer who refuses to purchase flood insurance (Zone A); required notices were sent out, with no action. However, we have now been told by three different insurance companies that they will not force-place flood insurance for banks. What are our options? Is this something that is common in the insurance industry?
Answer: 

I have never heard of this. I would report these companies to FEMA. As WYOs I'm not sure if they would be obligated to do so under the NFIP contract with FEMA.

Check BOL's Vendor connect for possible providers. If none found we use:
