General patterns reported on this type of claim, not specific findings about American Security Insurance Company. Every claim turns on its own policy and facts.
Because your mortgage servicer force-placed it. When a servicer believes the required hazard policy lapsed, it buys lender-placed coverage, and American Security Insurance Company (NAIC #42978), an Assurant company, writes much of that business in Florida. The premium is charged to you, usually through escrow, but the servicer is the named insured. Buying your own policy again normally ends the lender-placed charge going forward.
Often not directly, because you are not the named insured. The routes that remain run through the servicer: ask in writing how the claim was adjusted and how proceeds were applied, escalate under the federal mortgage-servicing rules that require proceeds to be handled for the borrower's benefit, and ask the servicer to pursue or assign the claim. Because standing questions are legal questions, get an attorney to read your loan documents and the policy before you rely on any of this.
