I have called and spoken with various employees about my policy since I traded in my car. Called to see if I had any money coming back to me. I was advised I had about 400 some due coming back so I was instructed to get the pay off letter so the check could be sent to be instead of the loan company. I submitted my payoff letter from ****, which was not sufficient as my initial loan on the contract was *********. I had refinanced at some point and they needed the pay off letter from the original bank that took the loan. So it took me about a week/ week and a half to call around and get this since I had to submit a request and wait for it. Hours on the phone between all these calls. I fin**** get all the info in, and I’m advised my refund is actu**** 900 some and I’m elated and I’m a single mom and this is great news to help me catch up on a few things
We hang up and I’m told it could take about a month for my check. By this point, I’ve spoken with 4 or 5 reps from MPP about all my coverages and verified what would be coming back to me. Spent hours on the phone getting the info needed for my refund check. And making sure my info was all up to date and correct since I had moved so the check would go to the correct place.
Today, I call to check on everything and see when check was issued. Maybe get a better date and I was told I wasn’t getting anything. Then 10 min later she says, oh, you’re getting 300 some but the check went to Santander. They’ll send it to you. ********* has none of my current info for one and two, I’ve spoken to 4 reps who have all helped me and no one said ANY of what the current rep was saying.
I get a manager, n she asks me if I’ve ever dealt with somebody new? Cause what she was telling me was truth and the other 4 reps were incorrect. I told her that if I wasn’t getting a refund, why would I do the run around to get them all the info they requested? What would be the point? Wasted a full month of my time. When I get nothing now?Business Response

Re: ******* *************
ID
********
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter regarding
the above referenced customer and ID. In
researching our information, we do show that on or about June 23, 2022, *** ******
purchased a 2014 Mercedes Benz. At the
time of vehicle purchase, she also purchased a Club Plus Vehicle Service
Agreement from our company for a term of 36 Months. On April 18, 2025, *** ****** called our
office to advise that she traded her vehicle back on April 14, 2025 and wanted
to see if there was any refund on the Club Plus Vehicle Service Agreement. Our representative took the information to
calculate if any refund would be due.
The term of the Club Plus Vehicle Service Agreement was for 36 months
and *** ****** had utilized approximately 34 months or 94% of the term
life. Addition****, when cancelled,
there is a $50 cancellation fee and, minus any paid claims during the
term. *** ****** had a tire claim for
$469.37 during the term. The pro rated 6%
of time remaining, less $50 cancellation fee and $469.37 paid claim left no
refund remaining. This information was
relayed to *** ******. *** ****** called
later on the same day to inquire if the Club Plus Vehicle Service Agreement
could be transferred to her new vehicle.
We advised that unfortunately, the coverage was not transferable from the
vehicle to another vehicle. We also reiterated
at that time that no refund would be due on the cancellation of the Club Plus
Vehicle Service Agreement.
In her complaint, *** ****** states
she had talked to several people and was provided refund quotes that she would
be receiving once processed. During one
of the telephone calls, one of our representatives noticed that she had an
active GAP Debt Waiver Addendum in our system.
However, this was an error on our representative’s part without further
investigation. While *** ****** did
purchase a GAP Debt Waiver Addendum at the time of vehicle sale, the remittance
of that coverage was sent in twice in error by the selling dealership. The dealer paid for the coverage twice while
*** ****** only paid once and was funded in with her original loan
contract. When *** ****** refinanced her
loan back in October 2024, one of the GAP Debt Waiver Addenda was canceled and
the refund sent to her lienholder to apply to that balance or refund to the
customer. Unfortunately, our
representative saw the active duplicate GAP Debt Waiver Addendum in our system
and provided a cancellation quote on that even though *** ****** was not
entitled to any additional refund on that coverage. That GAP Debt Waiver Addendum was canceled
and refund in the amount of $479.66 was sent to her lienholder of record. While *** ****** is not entitled to any additional
refund on her GAP Debt Waiver Addendum, the refund was received by Santander
Finance and we are waiting to hear on the disposition of that refund from
them.
We understand *** ******* frustration as our representatives did make an error on quoting a refund that did
not apply. We do sympathize with Ms. Grubb’s
situation and do apologize for any inconvenience of Ms. Grubb’s time for our
misquote. There is no refund due on the
Club Plus Vehicle Service Agreement.
There was no more refund due on the GAP Debt Waiver Addendum since we
already sent a refund last year and the current refund was our error. And, while she is not entitled to that
refund, should Sandtander Finance forward that refund to her due to a closed
account, we will not seek reimbursement.
We hope our response satisfies Ms.
Grubb’s and the Bureau’s concerns. Please
let us know if you should have any questions.
Sincerely,
****** ****

I purchased the MPP platinum coverage for my Mercedes GLE 350 in September 2022 the the highest coverage for mechanical issues that may occur after the manufacture warranty expired. March 10, 2025 a claim was filed for my turbo engine to be replaced costing $3700 without any help from the plan I purchased which is indeed covered.
My service advisor went back and forth over the course of 3 weeks with MPP Advisors stating the vehicle should be covered under the plan I purchased. I spent $8,000 on MPP Plan to cover my vehicle and they would not assist. I called 3 times to file a complaint which they became very rude and transferred me to a voicemail when I requested a manager or supervisor.
Their claim is that I went over the mileage for the oil change for them to cover the claim by 3000 miles While Mercedes advised them the services were up to date and for my vehicle type it can exceed over up to 8000 miles for a plan A or B service and I was well within the range.
This was an insult and the employee claims they didn’t care if I complained no one will help nor in the future if any engine issues occurred leaving me with a lost of $8000 for a warranty plan that was a scam and would not help me at all.Business Response

Re: ID ******** * ******** *******
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter regarding the above referenced ID and
customer. We do show that on or about
July 22, 2023, *** ******* did purchase a 2022 Mercedes Benz. At the time of vehicle purchase, she also
opted to purchase a vehicle service agreement on the vehicle. The vehicle service agreement, subject to
specific terms and conditions, agrees to repair or replace covered components
should they fail during the term of the agreement. On or about April 11, 2025, we received a
call from a Mercedes repair facility advising *** ********* vehicle was in
their shop for a complaint of the check engine light was coming on and it was
hard to accelerate. The repair facility
advised the vehicle was in need of a turbo charger. The turbo charger is a covered component
under the vehicle service agreement, however, as noted above, the agreement is
subject to terms and conditions. The
engine and turbo charger are sensitive to reliable and regular maintenance/service
in order to function properly, so we did request copies of the maintenance
records from Ms. Marable. In the 20 ½ months
since ownership, *** ******* had driven 43,471 miles. Merecedes Benz requires the engine oil/filter
to be changed at a minimum of every 10,000 miles. While *** ******* did service the vehicle 4
times during her ownership, the last two services far exceeded the minimum
interval of 10,000 miles. Under the
vehicle service agreement, *** ******* is obligated to perform her duties and
service the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s schedule. Inadequate maintenance can lead to issues
such as turbo lag, reduced engine power, or even catastrophic failure. Unfortunately, *** ******* could not sufficiently
prove she maintained the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s
schedule. We requested that Ms. Marable
produce service records to show the vehicle was maintained accordingly in order
for us to continue to participate in the claim.
We have not heard from her since besides this complaint.
While we are sympathetic to *** ********* situation, without
the required maintenance to her engine/turbo charger, or the proof to show it
was performed, we are unable to assist her on this particular claim. We hope our response satisfies the Bureau and
*** ********* concerns.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir/Madam,
we regret to hear that *** ******* has rejected our response. However, the vehicle engine/turbo charger were not maintained as required by the manufacturer. By *** ********* own admission, she states she did surpass the mileage limitation for service due to the cost. Unfortunately, the mileage limitation was exceeded on the last 2 services. No manufacturer has an overage limit allowance of 5,000 miles. Turbo chargers are extra sensitive to routine maintenance, and even the 10,000 mile interval stretches the limit. In her complaint, *** ******* states the service manager at the Mercedes Benz repair facility explained in great detail that the failure and not maintaining the engine/turbo as recommended by the manufacturer was covered. The service manager at the repair facility has no authority to authorize or claim that a failure would be covered under our Vehicle Service Agreement. We would be surprised that the manufacturer, Mercedes Benz, would be happy to hear that a service manager at one of their franchise dealership was telling customers it is ok to go 5,000 miles past the required maintenance intervals. Again, we sympathize with *** ********* situation, however, the vehicle was not maintained as required. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Re: ****** *****, ID ********
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter regarding the above referenced customer and ID. In reviewing our information, we do show that on or about May 28, 2020, *** ***** did purchase a 2017 Toyota. At the time of vehicle purchase, he also opted to purchase a vehicle service agreement. On or about May 5, 2025, we received a call from a Toyota repair facility that *** ******* vehicle was in their service department for a complaint of loud noise from the rear and also a timing cover leak. We were advised that the loud noise in the rear was due to an axle bearing not moving and needed to be replaced. They advised that the timing cover was just seepage and no active fluid leak. We authorized the repair to the rear axle bearing, however, advised that the seepage and no active leak is not a failure and would not be covered. Some engine gaskets seep some moisture and collect dirt and grime from the road and engine area. While it makes the engine look dirty, there is no active leak of fluid to cause any harm or damage to the engine in any way.
We hope our response satisfies the Bureau and *** ***** of their concerns. Please let us know if you should have any questions.

I am filing a formal complaint against MPP Insurance regarding the mishandling and misinterpretation of a Market Valuation Report related to my GAP coverage claim (******). I am extremely dissatisfied with how the claim was managed, particularly by representatives ****** ***** and supervisor Bill, and I believe MPP has unfairly denied a portion of my claim based on incorrect application of valuation data.
After my vehicle was totaled in an accident on 2/11/25, I submitted a Market Valuation Report from CCC ONE—a widely accepted authority in fair market value assessments. The report clearly stated my vehicle's value with a single deduction of $83 for tire tread wear. However, MPP unjustly denied $2,514 of my claim, including $2,431 based on dealer markup adjustments. These markups are irrelevant to a private owner’s actual cash value (ACV) and do not reflect the fair market value of my car at the time of the accident.
Despite multiple attempts to clarify, including a conference call with CCC ONE, Allstate, and MPP, where CCC ONE confirmed the correct interpretation of the report, MPP continued to misapply dealer markup as a deduction. The report clearly states the final value on page 1, and dealer markups on pages 2–19 are meant only to contextualize market conditions to determine the value of a vehicle.
It appears MPP either misunderstood or chose to ignore this, resulting in an incorrect and unfair payout. I believe this was a deliberate effort to avoid fulfilling their financial obligation under the policy. I provided all required documentation and received confirmation from valuation experts, yet MPP denied any further escalation above supervisor *****Business Response
Date: 05/12/2025
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter regarding *** ***** and ID ********. We regret to hear that *** ***** disagrees with our
calculation of the GAP amount to be waived, however, it was calculated
correctly. The CCC Market Valuation Report clearly shows $2,431.00 was
deducted from each comparable vehicle as a “Condition Adjustment” on page
12. The average of all of the comparable vehicles (after the $2,431.00
was deducted from each) is used as the Base Vehicle Value on page 1.
There is another Condition Adjustment of $83.00 for worn tires that is
deducted, and adding taxes, fees, less his deductible, determined the Total
amount of their settlement.
We
are not misinterpreting the CCC Market Valuation Report as it clearly states
Condition Adjustment and does not represent the dealer mark up. There is
no way that CCC would know what a dealer would make on a used vehicle.
They arbitrarily select some numbers and deduct them from the comparable
vehicles they find in the area. By them deducting these Condition
Adjustment, they are saying *** ******* vehicle wasn’t in as good condition as those
compared against without physically inspecting those vehicles to see what
conditions they were in. In *** ******* complaint, he states that the "markups" are irrelevant to his actual cash value and do not reflect the fair market value of the vehicle at the time of the accident. As noted above, these adjustments are not markups taken by the dealership but are condition adjustments taken by his auto insurance carrier. Whether it reflects the fair market value at the time of accident or not, the average of all of the comparable vehicles utilized after the condition adjustments were deducted are used to determine the Base Vehicle Value for his settlement amount.
While
we sympathize with *** ******* situation, it is the Valuation Company utilized by his insurance carrier that is taking these deductions. We just specifically
exclude those deductions and are not covered under the GAP Debt Waiver
Addendum. Had they not deducted those Condition Adjustments, they would
have paid $2,431.00 more on the settlement amount Total. Please let us know if you should have any further questions.

Being in a accident and my car was total loss. Waited long for MPP(Gap company) to make the final payment/reminded, and just to find out that they don’t pay the complete total amount. They state that is because my insurance company, wich is not true. They don’t even know how read reports. Very unprofessional staff, including supervisor. Never return a call, email. I have to be calling to see the status of my claim and ask for a detail of the payment.

Re: ******* ******* * ** ********
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter
regarding the above referenced customer and ID.
In researching our records, we do find that on our about April 26, 2024,
*** ******* purchased a 2022 Honda. At
the time of vehicle purchase, she opted to purchase a GAP Debt Waiver Addendum
in conjunction with her retail installment sales contract. The GAP Debt Waiver Addendum, subject to
specific terms and conditions, agrees to waive or cancel a portion of the debt
equal to the difference between the Actual Cash Value and Net Outstanding Balance,
in the event of a Constructive Total Loss.
On or about February 25, 2025, *** ******* contacted our office to
advise that her vehicle was in an accident and considered a total loss. We obtained some details and advised her of
the documentation that would be needed in order to process her claim. After receiving all of the required documentation,
her claim was processed and we issued our check to her lienholder in the amount
of $1,266.22. That check has since
cleared our bank.
In *** *******’s complaint, she
states that she waited a long time to make final payment. We processed her claim for review and payment
as soon as we received all of the require documentation. Once reviewed, we issued our check as noted
above to her lienholder. She also states
that we didn’t pay the complete amount and do not know how to read
reports. As noted above, the GAP Debt
Waiver Addendum is subject to terms and conditions. Under the definition of Actual Cash Value, up
to $1,000.00 deductible is allowed, and any amounts deducted for condition
adjustments will be added back to the settlement amount paid for Actual Cash
Value. *** ******* had a $1,500.00
deductible with her insurance carrier, and $2,032.00 was deducted for condition
adjustments, adding $2,532.00 ($500.00 over allowance on insurance deductible,
$2,032.00 condition adjustments) back in to the Actual Cash Value amount. These amounts are clearly identified on pages
6 and 9, respectively, on the Market Valuation Report utilized and provided by
*** *******’s auto insurance company and used to determine the total settlement
amount paid by them.
We sympathize with *** *******’s situation,
however, the claim was adjusted in correctly and in accordance with the
provisions of the GAP Debt Waiver Addendum she purchased.
Please let us know if you should
have any questions.

I purchased a 2021 Ford Explorer from ***** ******* **** on 04/25/2021. At the time of purchase, I was assured that my vehicle would be covered under a Ford Platinum Warranty for 72 months or up to 75,000 miles through MPP Co. This was presented to me as a bumper-to-bumper warranty with no mention of additional requirements nor in my paperwork is it mentioned.
Recently, I encountered a serious issue where oil and coolant mixed and leaked from the engine. Since my vehicle is still within the mileage and time limits of my warranty (currently at 74,329 miles), I paid to have it towed back to ***** ******* **** for repairs. After a diagnostic, the dealership determined that the engine needed to be replaced and submitted a claim to MPP Co. for coverage.
However, MPP Co. denied my claim, stating that I did not provide documented proof of regular oil changes because I have been performing them myself. This requirement was never disclosed to me at the time of purchase, nor is it stated anywhere in my warranty paperwork. If this were an actual policy condition, the dealership would have advised me to purchase an oil change plan.
At this point, I have a vehicle that requires a covered repair, yet MPP Co. is refusing to honor the policy I paid for. This is unacceptable. The company is imposing a requirement that was never communicated or documented in my contract, effectively denying my valid claim under false pretenses.
I need immediate resolution to this issue, as I have upheld my end of the agreement by maintaining my vehicle and staying within the warranty terms. I expect MPP Co. and ***** ******* **** to honor the coverage I was sold.Business Response

RE: ****** ******* ** ********
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter
regarding the above referenced customer and ID.
In researching our records, we found that on or about March 21, 2025, we
were contacted by a repair facility advising *** ******** vehicle was in for
repairs. The complaint was that the
check engine light was on, the engine had low oil pressure. The repair facility advised that the vehicle
was in need of a new engine. We asked
for service records and none were documented.
*** ****** only could produce some receipts for oil and filters however,
no part numbers to identify that they were for this vehicle. The engine oil life monitor showed that there
was zero (0) oil life remaining in the oil in the vehicle and indicated that it
had been that way for at least 90 days. The
initial diagnosis of the failure was due to lack of maintenance as prescribed
by the manufacturer. While the engine
definitely appeared to be not serviced accordingly, the repair facility did
further diagnosis and determined this failure was as a result of the oil cooler
leaking and not lack of maintenance. We
agreed to pay for the oil cooler and lines and flush the engine. As of the date of the letter, the repair
facility advised the parts are in and being repaired.
We hope our response satisfies the
customer’s and Bureau’s concerns. Please
let us know if you should have any questions.

I am rejecting this response because:
Dear Sir / Madam,
Thank You very much for your time and attention and help in this matter.
As of today April 14, 2025, I am inclined to request a rejection status due to incomplete repair results. Although MPP has approved the repair orders and due to diagnostic variances, I would prefer to submit a final status only after all repairs have been fully completed.
The vehicle has been in possession of ***** ******* **** Service Center for 25 days and the repairs remain incomplete. I received a notification for vehicle pickup scheduled for Saturday April 12, 2025, and proceeded to retrieve the vehicle that same day. However, upon inspection, I observed oil residue in the coolant reservoir and noted that the cooling system was dirty and had not been cleaned as indicated in the work order.
I reported these findings to the service advisor, who confirmed that the cooling system had indeed not been cleaned. The vehicle was subsequently left at the dealership once again, and I was advised that a follow-up call or update regarding the repairs status would be provided.
In addition, I have documented photographic evidence supporting my findings.

Dear Sir or Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter regarding the above
referenced customer and ID. In reviewing
our records, we do find that on or about July 12, 2022, Mr. ****** purchased a
2022 Acura. At the time of the vehicle
purchase, he also opted to purchase a GAP Debt Waiver Addendum. The GAP Debt Waiver Addendum agrees, subject
to terms and conditions, to waive or cancel a portion of the debt equal to the
difference between the Actual Cash Value and Net Outstanding Balance, both
defined herein, in the event of a Constructive Total Loss. On or about January 17, 2025, we received information
from Mr. ******’s lienholder advising of a total loss. We forwarded information regarding the
required documentation to Mr. ****** that we would in order to review and
process his claim. After correspondence
back and forth, we did receive the required documentation and the GAP benefit
to waive calculated to be $748.11.
Unfortunately, Mr. ******’s auto insurance carrier deducted $2,965.00
($2,617.00 + $348.00) for Condition Adjustments in their settlement
valuation. The GAP Debt Waiver Addendum specifically
excludes Condition Adjustments and those deductions were added back in to the
calculation of the GAP Debt Waiver benefit amount to waive.
In Mr. ******’s complaint, he states that we are referencing
items not in his contract (GAP Debt Waiver Addendum) that are not there and
refusing to pay the full GAP amount. The
exclusion of Condition Adjustments is clearly within the definition of Actual
Cash Value and we calculated the GAP benefit amount to be waived in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the GAP Debt Waiver Addendum. Additionally, he states we refuse to explain how
we determined the amount of the GAP benefit to waive. We tried to explain multiple times, but it is
Mr. ****** that refuses to see that it is his auto insurance carrier that took
all of the deductions in order to determine the settlement amount they
paid. In the valuation report utilized by
his auto insurance carrier, they clearly deduct $2,617.00 in Condition
Adjustments from all of the comparable vehicles they used to determine the
value of his vehicle. They then took the
average of all of the comparable vehicles (after the deduction of the Condition
Adjustments) to determine the Base Vehicle Value. Then they deducted another $348.00 in Condition
Adjustments to determine the Adjusted Vehicle Value. Mr. ****** has stated to us that his vehicle
was in excellent condition. If his auto
insurance carrier had not deducted the $2965.00 in Condition Adjustments, they
would have paid that much more on his Settlement amount.
Mr. ****** also states that our adjusters were rude to him
and his auto insurance adjuster. For
that we apologize and will review those conversations for any corrective
measures as that is not the goal of our company.
We hope that our response satisfies Mr. ******’s and the
Bureau’s concerns. While we sympathize
with Mr. ******’s situation, we hope he understands that it is his auto
insurance carrier that took all of the deductions, the GAP Debt Waiver
specifically excludes them. Please let
us know if you should have any questions.

I am rejecting this response because:I have written emails requesting, in writing, the decision and a formal explanation. That email was ignored. The request for a supervisor to speak to who after the rep mocked my accident was also denied.
Furthermore, my attorney from the accident as well as the insurance adjuster said it is the GAP company’s inability to properly read the form which is leading to this amount being paid. They said the valuation listed is being ignored and rather, false valuations are being read.
The inability to correspond in writing shows me that they know they are in breach of the contract. My insurance has stated multiple times the values they are reading are not the values any gap should go by. This is intentional ignorance to a disgraceful degree.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We regret to hear that Mr. ******
rejected our initial response. In his
second letter, he states that he requested a formal explanation regarding our decision
on how his GAP Debt Waiver Benefit was calculated. We did receive his request on March 24, 2025
for a formal written explanation, however, we did receive the initial Better
Business Bureau letter just before that and chose to provide the formal written
explanation in our response and document it.
We have explained verbally multiple times on how the condition
adjustments effected his settlement and thus the amount to be waived, and
formally in writing with our response to his complaint with the Better Business
Bureau. In his second letter, he also
states that his attorney as well as the insurance adjuster said that it is our
inability to properly read their form which is leading to the GAP Debt Waiver
Addendum amount to be waived. In the
valuation report utilized by his auto insurance carrier, they clearly deduct
$2,617.00 in Condition Adjustments from all of the comparable vehicles they
used to determine the value of his vehicle. Then calculated the average
of all of the comparable vehicles (after the deduction of the Condition
Adjustments) to determine the Base Vehicle Value. Then they deducted
another $348.00 in Condition Adjustments to determine the Adjusted Vehicle
Value. This all evident in the Valuation Report used by his auto
insurance carrier. Mr. ****** has stated
to us that his vehicle was in excellent condition, yet his auto insurance
carrier deducted these condition adjustments without physically inspecting any
of the comparable vehicles and probably his own vehicle’s condition.
Again, while we sympathize with
Mr. ******’s situation, we hope he understands that it is his auto insurance
carrier that took all of the deductions, the GAP Debt Waiver specifically
excludes them. Please let us know if you
should have any questions.

I canceled my platinum service agreement over two months ago, and MPP has not honored the cancelation or made any attempt to cancel the agreement which in turn would issue a refund to me. They said it’s because of an open claim at ****** ****** and ****** ****** didn’t send them the invoice and they “weren’t going to go out of their way to pay the vendor”. I reached out to ****** ****** and they advised they reached out to MPP multiple times and confirmed the work was done and the invoice was sent. On a side note, ****** from MPP hung up on me which I thought was very rude.

ID ********
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter regarding the above referenced customer and ID. We do show that on or about August 2, 2020, *** ********** did purchase a 2020 Toyota. At the same time of vehicle purchase he opted to purchase a vehicle service agreement. On November 13, 2024, we received a call advising *** **********'s vehicle was in for repairs and was in need of front lower ball joints. We received the estimate of the repair and authorized payment to the repair facility in the amount of $634.62. A few days later, *** ********** called to advise that he traded the vehicle and was requesting a pro rated refund. Because the provisions of *** **********'s vehicle service agreement states cancellations will be pro-rated less any paid claims, and a cancellation fee, we advised that the repair facility had not sent in the repair bill yet for us to pay them, we could not provide a quote as of yet. We wanted to make sure that *** **********'s claim for repair was paid as agreed and also provide him an accurate cancel quote for his refund. Unfortunately, we made several attempts to get proof of the repair with an invoice without production. Finally, as we were about to cancel the claim and advise *** ********** was going to have to be responsible for the claim so we could process his cancel request, we received a copy of the invoice from him. We paid the repair facility direct for the repair claim and was then able to process *** **********'s request to cancel. We forwarded the refund directly to *** **********.
Please let us know if you should have any additional questions.
Sincerely.

My son purchased a used vehicle at Grapevine Nissan. Wife co-signed and we added Gap insurance through MPP. Someone ran a stop sign and totaled the vehicle. After insurance a remaining balance of 6000.00 was owed. MPP gap insurance was contacted and only paid 3000.00. They said it was due to the vehicle depreciation. I have used gap insurance before and never had any issues, our insurance company has never heard of gap insurance doing this to a customer. We paid for their services and ended up getting ripped offBusiness Response

Re: *** *******

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in receipt of your letter regarding
the above referenced customer and ID. In
reviewing our records, we do show that on or about June 12, 2023, Kimberly
Sherrod did purchase a 2021 Ford Mustang.
At the time of vehicle purchase, she opted to purchase a GAP Waiver Addendum
in conjunction with the retail installment sales contract. On or about September 16, 2024, we were
contacted by the customer’ lienholder advising that the vehicle was involved in
an accident and considered a total loss.
We advised the lienholder and customer of the documents that would be
required. After correspondence back and
forth, we finally received all required documentation to complete the review
and process the claim for an amount to be waived by the lienholder. We processed our check payable to the
lienholder to apply to the outstanding balance in the amount of $3,965.11. That check has since cleared our bank.
In *** ********* complaint, he states
that the amount paid to be waived was short due to depreciation. In reviewing the claim documents and
specifically the Market Valuation Report utilized by his auto insurance carrier,
a net of $1,702.00 was deducted from his settlement amount due to condition
adjustments. Additionally, another
$264.72 was deducted from his settlement amount due to previous damage. Unfortunately, these items are excluded from
the definition of Actual Cash Value and were added back in to determine the
amount to be waived under the GAP Debt Waiver Addendum.
While we understand and sympathize
with *** ********* situation, those items are not covered under the GAP Debt
Waiver Addendum and the amount to be waived was calculated correctly.
We hope our response satisfies any
further concerns.
Sincerely,
****** ****
