First Toyota delayed processing this claim for 16 days. Then asked for documents which they always received in a timely manner. They said they didn't need the police report, then did need it. The car has now been towed three times because Toyota did not process the claim in a timely manner. I was told they would tow the car, then after the car was towed I was told it was my responsibility even though I do not own the automobile out right, nor have a lien or title release. I XXXX told me to just take the car to salvage. We can not, we do not own the vehicle. Toyota has still not cooperated to resolve any aspect of an accident for an insured person and now is threatening me. There was no comprehensive or liability on this vehicle and Toyota had the right and responsibility to make sure the vehicle had proper coverage as the lender. 

Toyota refuses to put anything in writing other than emails claiming security issues, yet they record every conversation. I am grateful this situation has been documented at least through phone calls.
