  On 09/26/2024 I bought a car from dealership *************, in ************. I purchased this warranty from them through Wise titled ******************** contract. On 12/20/2024 the transmission went out not even 3 months of owning car. Reached out to warranty company did everything they asked they denied claim because the car was modified when I was sold the car warranty with these modified parts. Personally Id like them to pay for repair 4,500$ but we agreed to refund money for warranty since then its been over 30 days Ive heard nothing given the run around, and I think theyre trying to avoid paying me. They are also trying to give me less money for refund because cars mileage has went up Ive attached the quote theyve given to me which I feel is wrong.

  I have received your request for assistance dated March 4, 2025. Per your request, it appears Mr. ****** is dissatisfied with the outcome of his *************** Contract claim, as well as the results of the contract cancellation. 
  
  The *************** Contract provides mechanical breakdown coverage for certain mechanical and electrical components, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the contract, based on the coverage plan level Mr. ****** selected.  In addition to the terms and conditions of the contract, coverage is limited to the items included in the plan Mr. ****** selected, and certain exclusions apply.
  
  With respect to this claim,Mr. ****** informed us of his transmission concern on December 23, 2024. We followed the terms and conditions of the contract and made the final determination of the claim denial on January 10, 2025.  Unfortunately, the failure to Mr. ******* transmission had resulted from impact damage to the transmission pan, which resulted in low fluid pressure to the transmission. The cause of failure is excluded per the terms and conditions of the *************** Contract. Please see section VII EXCLUSIONS, on page 7 and 8 of the *************** Contract.Under B, This Contract excludes coverage under the following conditions: #3.Collision or upset (impact to the transmission pan), and #**. The lack of necessary and proper amounts of lubricants.
  
  Regarding the cancellation,we confirmed that we received the cancellation request today and have processed it.  We utilized a cancellation date of January 22, 2025 as requested. Per SECTION IX CANCELLATION, on page 8 of the contract, after the first 30 days from the contract purchase date shown above,We will refund you a pro-rated amount of the Contract Purchase Price,reflecting the greater of the days in force or the miles driven based on the Term / miles selected and the date coverage begins, less a fifty dollar ($50)cancellation fee and the total amount of any claims plaid under this Contract.The refund amount we show due is $1575.99, per the terms described above.
  
  Normally, the refund amount would be sent back to the selling dealer, ******* Sales, and the customer would collect their refund amount from the dealer. However, in this instance, our records indicate the dealer never remitted payment to us for the *************** Contract, therefore we dont have funds to return to the selling dealer. We recommend Mr. ****** contact ******* Sales to pursue his refund further.
  
  Our intent is to administer fast, fair service in every instance. If you have any questions, I am here to review or discuss any of the findings. Please feel free to contact me at : ****************** or ****************************************

  I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:
  The transmission shop told them the failure had nothing to do with the dent on oil pan, they are simply making this up you can contact California Transmission in ******* CA. They will tell you this is not the cause of failure and there was no indication of it being failure. I had transmission fixed and it still has same pan and its perfectly fine.
  
  
  Sincerely,

  Date: 03/06/2025

  We understand Mr. ****** disagreed with our reason for the claim denial. We did confirm during the claim process with an independent inspection that the pan was impacted, and it effected fluid flow to the transmission. Included in the inspection were pictures which verified this damage and would cause reduced transmission fluid pressure to the unit causing the internal failure. As stated previously,unfortunately that is excluded by the terms and conditions of the contract and we cannot assist any further. We're sorry we cannot assist you any further. If you have any questions, I am here to review or discuss any of the findings.

  I purchased GAP insurance to make sure if something happened to my vehicle that I would not be left holding the bag. I have done this with every car I have ever purchased and have never had to file a claim. Well my son wrecked his car and there was about $2000 left over and I figured no problem GAP should cover it. They did not, they covered less than $900. The entire premise of this insurance is to cover yourself. Instead they decided they would wait till I made 3 (going on 4 now because "the mail is 2 weeks slow") and take off some ridiculous amount for "prior damage" that did not exist.

  I have received your request for assistance dated February 27, 2025. Per your request, Mr. ****** is dissatisfied with the outcome of his *** claim. 
  
  The *** Addendum is an amendment to the vehicle financing contract executed between *********************************************** (and its assigned lienholder, ****************************). ******************************** (***) is not a party to the *** Addendum, but rather the third-party *** claims administrator on behalf of ************. The charge for the *** Addendum ($899.00) is financed into the customer's loan.  This is part of the vehicles financing/sales documentation which is signed by the customer at the time of vehicle purchase and a copy is to be given to the customer by the automotive dealership as part of the vehicle purchase documentation.  All terms and conditions are clearly outlined in the *** addendum. The *** Addendum provides that: If the vehicle is deemed a Total Loss by the Primary Insurance carrier for the Vehicle, the Seller agrees to waive the difference between: (a) the Outstanding Balance of the Financial Agreement on the Date of Loss; and, (b) the Actual Cash Value of the Vehicle.
  
  Relevant here is the definition of Actual Cash Value, which is defined by the Contract as:(1) the Actual Cash Value established by the Primary Insurance companyAdjustments will be made for prior unrepaired damage, mileage, usage, condition, applicable taxes or fees and documented Vehicle options and accessories purchased at the time the Financial Agreement was executed.  If it is determined that Your Primary Insurance company did not pay a fair Actual Cash Value, and we provide You with evidence obtained in our research, You may be required to contact Your Primary Insurance carrier and request a higher payment.
  
  Here, taxes are considered on the Valuation Report, but Mr. ****** insurer did not include sales taxes in its settlement amount.  In ****, taxes are owed by the insurer if the customers vehicle is replaced within 30 days of the insurance payment date. Since the customer ********************* the taxes into the loan agreement, that amount is due back to the loan from the insurer.
  
  Calculating a *** Addendum benefit waiver amount is straightforward. Pursuant to the terms of the *** Addendum, the calculation begins with the customers Outstanding Balance on the date of loss, which was $8,845.81. This is a standard amortization of Mr.Perezs loan using the terms and conditions of the loan contract. Next, the Primary Carriers (********) $6,358.90 settlement is deducted, followed by $222.10 for prior damages and a condition adjustment of $145.00 that was taken by the insurance company. Finally, there was a deduction for taxes owed by the insurance company in the amount of $439.33, if the vehicle was replaced within 30 days of the settlement check that was issued 1/15/2025. This leaves a *** waiver benefit in the amount of $1,680.48, which was ultimately waived by Mr.****** *******  
  
  Our intent is to administer fast, fair claim service in every instance. If you have any questions, I am here to review or discuss any of the findings. Please feel free to contact me at ******************** or *******************************************

  The vehicle was dropped off on July 2nd 2024 and  was just approved Aug 30th 2024

  Be advised all the appropriate information was given from the start and was denied each time approx 4 times that I know of.

  There were 12 calls 3 emails with photos and documents with the letter head from the dealership from my self directly . This was due to the company stating the dealership had not or denied to provide correct information. I spoke directly to *** aka **** who seemed to understand what was needed and it was provided 2 different times. There was ****** who refused to give me his manager name and or transfer me and threatened me with a lawyer if I wanted any information pertaining the case.  Then the manager also was combative in following threw untill I submitted this review.

  This company also stated to me that the dealership was refusing to give information which in fact was a lie as I have had direct contact with the dealership, service manager, service adviser and the certified mechanic. 

  Also the total was $9503.00 not $12500.00

  This means they delayed me having a vehicle for as approx time for repair 30 to 60 days. Which is not a problem if the company would have been diligent and followed threw with thier policy and procedures and worked better not only with my self and a paying customer but also not flasify statements from myself and or the shop where the vehicle was.

  I strongly belive that due to the unwillingless of the company that more should be compensated.

  We received the additional complaint, date 9-11-24.
  

  In reviewing the claim it appears there were multiple discussions with the shop and customer regarding the failed components and potential coverage. While we understand the delay is frustrating and unfortunate, we do have to confirm the cause of the failure to validate the repair that is coverable by the terms of the contract.
  

  Weve authorized the maximum amount allowed per the terms of the contract and no further assistance can be provided.

  I total loss my vehicle on January 8, 2024. I have both full coverage as well as GAP insurance. My insurance paid the Cash value of the vehicle to my lien holder. My GAP insurance supposed to cover the remaining balance which totals about $5,000.00 but they are only trying to pay $2,000.00 which is not the contract states. The only item not covered are late charges which I did not have any outstanding late fees. They are trying to deduct refund amount received from my warranties which I paid for. My contract states coverage from the amount insurance do not pay and up to $1,000.00 for insurance deductible. If I pay for a product I expect when I need the service not to charge me the amount I paid for another service. That is my refund, I am not supposed to have a balance, when I have insurance, GAP, and warranty refunds.

  I have received your request for assistance dated March 12, 2024.  Per your request, it appears Mrs. *** is dissatisfied with the outcome of the *** claim for Mr. ******* ****** ***. 

  The *** Addendum is an amendment to the vehicles financing contract executed between Mr. *** and Motor City, and its assigned lienholder, *********** Auto Finance. It is important to note that Financial ********************** (***) is not a party to the *** Addendum, but rather the third-party *** claims administrator on behalf of Motor City.  Ive attached a copy of Mr. **** contract,noted as Exhibit A.
  Generally speaking, the *** Addendum provides that in the event Mr. **** vehicle is totaled in an accident before the loan is paid off (i.e., a Constructive Total Loss), that the Dealer/Creditor (here, *********** Auto Finance) will, subject to certain conditions and exclusions, waive its rights against Mr. *** to collect the remaining amount due on the financing contract after the primary insurance company, selected by Mr. **** pays the property damage loss.  The conditions and exclusions are clearly stated in the *** Addendum. 
  

  Of particular relevance here, the *** Addendum states: DEFINITIONS Outstanding Balance means the amount in U.S. currency required to satisfy or payoff the Financial Agreement as of the Date of Loss. The Outstanding Balance shall be determined based only on the amount You originally borrowed to purchase the Vehicle. Amounts added subsequent to the purchase of the Vehicle,such as but not limited to collateral protection insurance, unearned finance charges, rental charges, taxes, Delinquent Payments, past due amounts, late charges, extensions of maturity, salvage, repo expenses, towing and storage are not included. The Outstanding Balance shall be reduced by any proceeds that could be recovered from the cancelling of any items, such as a service contract, credit insurance, or other similar items, that were included in the Financial Agreement. The Outstanding Balance, at of the Date of Loss,shall be determined by the lower of (1) the Financial Agreement original payment schedule or (2) the Equal Monthly Installment Method, if applicable under the terms of this Contract
  

  After review of Mr. **** payment history, there are numerous months where no payment was applied to Mr. **** account along with a number of late fee assessments that are not covered by the *** Addendum as stated above in the *** Addendum Definitions section. 
  Furthermore, the above Definition does explain that The Outstanding Balance shall be reduced by any proceeds that could be recovered from the cancelling of any items, such as a service contract, credit insurance,or other similar items that were in the Financial Agreement. Review of the Financial Agreement shows that Mr. *** financed a TheftWise Contract, a ******** contract, and an *********** Contract into the loan. Two of these contracts, the ******** and *********** Contract were cancelled for a refund of the contract amount that should be applied toward the loan. Therefore, these refunds, were deducted from the *** settlement amount.
  

  Calculating a *** Addendum benefit waiver amount is rather straightforward.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the *** Addendum, it starts with the customers Outstanding Balance on the date of loss.  An amortization of Mr. **** loan gives us $22,004.95 as the remaining balance on the loss date. From that, Progressives payment of $17,025.72 is deducted as well as $1,694.35 for the *********** Contract refund and the $428.48 WiseCare refund. Finally, a deduction due to prior damages in the amount of $843.12 which was taken by Progressive. Please note, this deduction was taken by Progressive and if the customer feels this was in error, they should contact Progressive to discuss that further.  All of this resulted in a *** payment of $2,013.28 which was issued to Capitol One Auto Finance on 3/5/2024.
  

  We've included a copy of the Gap contract with highlighted of the key areas mentioned above.  Our intent is to administer fast, fair claim service in every instance.  After careful review of the *** claim, there are no errors in the calculations.  If there are further questions, wed ask him to please contact our ************* Claims Manager, ****** ********* at *************or ****************************************************************************.

  I am rejecting this response because:

   

  I spoke with *** on 3/14/2024 at 10:00am who provided me with two separate documents with different totals regarding GAP coverage. This is proof they intentionally deceived their customers and provide false documents. They work with the dealership to deceive customers out of their money. The dealership charge 3 warranties under the same company. ********, *********, and *******. the cost of each were $1,231.00, ******, and ******. Totaling about the amount I receive for my GAP claim 9$2,013). Basically I paid the same as their supposed settlement. I have never heard of any GAP insurance deducting the warranty refunds from your settlement!! I experience a total loss with a different *********** so I know from experience. The page signed was a detail of Cash value and loan balance, no other pages in the contract about offsetting the amount of the settlement by your refunds (Which are the same company, so basically they paid themselves). THEY ARE FRAUDS!!!! the Dealership ********* is a fraud too. I still haven't receive the refund totaling $428.48 but they made sure to deduct from the total settlement.

  This is an email from the Dealership we purchase the contract from. The also agree that it does not seem right for *** coverage to deduct your refund amount while you still have a balance on the loan. You shouldn't leave a customer with a balance when by definition its called the *** between your insurance payout and the loan balance.

  I purchased gap insurance from them and they are refusing to pay the balance of my loan after my insurance paid out.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 10/17/2023

  We have received your request for assistance dated October 16, 2023.  Per your request, Mr. ****** is dissatisfied with the outcome of his GAP claim. 

  The GAP Addendum is an amendment to the vehicles financing contract executed between Mr. ****** and **** **** **** of Huntington, and its assigned lienholder, Capital One Auto Finance. It is important to note that Financial Gap Administrator, LLC (“FGA”) is not a party to the GAP Addendum, but rather the third-party GAP claims administrator on behalf of **** **** **** of Huntington.  I’ve attached a copy of Mr. ****** contract, noted as Exhibit A.
  

  Generally speaking, the GAP Addendum provides that in the event Mr. ****** vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen before the loan is paid off (i.e., a “Constructive Total Loss”), that the Dealer/Creditor (here, Capital One Auto Finance) will, subject to certain conditions and exclusions, waive its rights against Mr. ****** to collect the remaining amount due on the financing contract after the primary insurance company, selected by Mr. ******, pays the property damage loss.  The conditions and exclusions are clearly stated in the GAP Addendum. 

  Of particular relevance here, the GAP Addendum states: ““DEFINITIONS – Outstanding Balance means the amount in U.S. currency required to satisfy or payoff the Financial Agreement as of the Date of Loss. The Outstanding Balance shall be determined based only on the amount You originally borrowed to purchase the Vehicle. Amounts added subsequent to the purchase of the Vehicle, such as but not limited to collateral protection insurance, unearned finance charges, rental charges, taxes, Delinquent Payments, past due amounts, late charges, extensions of maturity, salvage, repo expenses, towing and storage are not included….. The Outstanding Balance, as of the Date of Loss, shall be determined by the lower of (1) the Financial Agreement original payment schedule or (2) the Equal Monthly Installment Method, if applicable under the terms of this Contract…” After review of Mr. ****** payment history, there are numerous months where no payment was applied to Mr. ****** account along with a number of late fee assessment’s that are not covered by the GAP Addendum as stated above in the GAP Addendum Definitions section. 
  

  Furthermore, on page two of the GAP Addendum under “DEFINITIONS – Actual Cash Value at the Date of Loss means, (1) the Actual Cash Value established by the Primary Insurance company… Adjustments will be made for prior unrepaired damage, mileage, usage, condition, applicable taxes or fees and documented Vehicle options and accessories purchased at the time the Financial Agreement was executed.  If it is determined that Your Primary Insurance company did not pay a fair Actual Cash Value and we provide You with evidence obtained in our research, You may be required to contact Your Primary Insurance carrier and request a higher payment.”
  Mr. ****** vehicle had an odometer reading of 184,040 miles when the vehicle was deemed a total loss. Based on this information, Progressive, the Primary Insurance Company, obtained the Actual Cash Value of the vehicle using like kind vehicles that were for sale in Mr. ****** the area of residence. Progressive then took a High Mileage Deduction of $3,731.94.  The GAP Addendum doesn’t cover this deduction, however if Mr. ****** feels Progressive was incorrect in this deduction, he should contact them to discuss that issue further. 

  Calculating a GAP Addendum benefit waiver amount is rather straightforward.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the GAP Addendum, it starts with the customer’s Outstanding Balance on the date of loss.  An amortization of Mr. ****** loan gives us $10,110.47 as the remaining balance on the loss date. From that, Progressive’s payment of $14,066.26 is deducted as well as $3,731.94 for the High Mileage Deduction, which was taken by Progressive. This resulted in a No GAP situation based on the data and information we’ve been provided by the customer, lender, and the express terms and conditions of the GAP Addendum.

  Our intent is to administer fast, fair claim service in every instance.  After careful review of the GAP claim, there are no errors in the calculations.  However, if Mr. ******** has documentation that the conditioning deduction has changed, or has further questions we’d ask him to please contact our Sr. Financial Claims Manager, ****** ********, at ************, or ******.**********************.

  ****** ********

   We have received the customer comments and understand they are dissatisfied with the GAP claim process and timing at this point. When processing GAP claims it requires a significant amount of paperwork to complete the process. To note, we added the last document needed to process Ms. ******’s GAP Claim in 5/23/2023. On that date, we emailed Ms. ****** and advised of the 9-14 business day time frame needed to complete the process. On Friday 6/9/2023 we processed and completed Ms. ******’s claim.  The check will be placed in the mail on 6/12/2023 and mailed to ****** ****** *****. As you can see, Ms. ******’s GAP claim was processed within 12 business days of the 5/23/2023 processing set date. It is important to note that even with the GAP coverage, it is the customers responsibility to continue to make monthly loan payments until the loan is paid in full. We hope this explanation and follow up satisfies the response needed for the customer complaint. Should you require anything further information or have further questions please contact ****** ********, Sr. Manager, Financial Claims at ************* **** **** ** *****************************.  Thank you
