An insurance claim should always be submitted "as soon as practicable"; in fact, that is the term often used in the policy itself. In general, this means that the claim should be made at the first time possible, all things considered. Doing so will give the insurer sufficient notice so that it can investigate and determine if the claim is payable. Assuming that it is, it will also speed payment of proceeds.

Assuming that someone or something else, other than the insured, is responsible for the loss, it will also enhance the insurer's ability to recover its payment from the wrongdoer through the processes of subrogation or contribution.

I have 1 point on my auto insurance. it is a damage claim. I have no record of this. my previous insurance has submitted proof of the same and I'm still being charged what do I do?

You are entitled to receive a CLUE report. This is a report similar to a credit report but has to do with your claim history. Your claim would be listed with information such as the date of the claim, claim number, etc. You can contest this with the company that file it...if it is incorrect, then it should be corrected. If you have difficulty with the company, then you address it with your state's department of insurance.
