Preexisting Home Damage

Most states only allow a maximum 2 year delay in filing a claim.

There is no such thing as a retroactive claim. Homeowners Insurance policies "Do Not" cover preexisting damage and the claim should be filed with the Insurance company that was covering the home at the time the damage occurred.

Most do however it depends upon the claim and what state you are in. Also the period of time cannot usually be over 12 months.

How do multiple loss claims on a personal articles policy for jewelry affect this policy and your Auto and homeowners?

Multiple losses on any policy will guarantee a cancellation. A cancellation on a home insurance policy will pretty much guarantee that you will not get another homeowners policy at anything close to a reasonable rate. Also, you can be assured that no company will allow you to purchase jewelry floater policy either. I hope your state has an insurance pool for those who can't buy insurance in the private sector.

How do you cancel an insurance claim?

As long as you have not received payment and cashed the check you can always tell your agent or the adjuster that you wish to withdraw the claim. It should not be an issue with the company unless they finished the claim and closed the claim but even then they may be agreeable to allow you to withdraw if you wish. These days you only want to make claims for larger claims. Insurance is not for small claims and it can actually do you more harm than good to make small claims. Insurance companies track amount of claims as well as frequency of claims and either can hurt your record.
