Monday, October 2nd, 2006 — Louisiana Commissioner of Insurance Jim Donleon has directed Horace Mann Insurance Companies of Springfield, Ill., to immediately cease the wrongful cancellation of homeowners policies in 23 parishes and reinstate any policies that have been cancelled since the Illinois-based insurer implemented this unlawful plan of action in July. The Louisiana Department of Insurance reported that Donelon ordered Horace Mann to stop any further action toward canceling or nonrenewing any homeowners policies in 23 designated Louisiana parishes on or near the coast and reinstate any homeowners policies that have been wrongly cancelled or nonrenewed under this improper course of action.
