I want to get my own car insurance, but my mom won't let me.
Because your mother has an umbrella policy through AAA, she is likely required to have you rated as a driver on her policy. This is a common requirement with insurance carriers who offer umbrella insurance.
Can a bank add insurance to my loan when I already have insurance?
This sounds like a processing error. Short of that, I would say that this issue is unfortunately too specific to your policy for me to accurately advise.
How do i dispute a driving record with AAA
The only way you can dispute a claim on your driving history is to contact LexisNexis. That is the database that reports accidents to other companies.
Can I get AAA roadside assistance without having insurance with them?
You should be able to purchase roadside assistance with AAA without switching your insurance coverage to AAA. Their roadside coverage is actually offered separate from their insurance policies for this specific reason.

Can Esurance deny a refund if I forgot to cancel my policy when I switched to a new company?
This sounds like an company issue and not a state law. Insurance companies in Illinois are legally required to issue refunds for "unearned premium", but you didn't prepay your bill.
