Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX through Westlake Financial Services. On XX/XX/XXXX my father ( which was on the loan as well ) got into an accident which made the vehicle a total loss. My car insurance at the time ( progressive ) paid Westlake Financal Services close to {$14000.00} for my vehicle. Their was still a little over {$2700.00} left on the loan. This is just straight interest. I called them multiple times after the insurance had paid the loan company to see if I had any gap insurance to help cover the remaining part of the loan. They would keep transfering me to people that would not help me. XXXX representitive even told me that " I did not qualify for gap coverage, because I've had missed payments in the past ''. At this point, I just had to wait for the right oppurtunity fiancially to be able to pay this off. For XXXX months I recieved missed payments from this loan company on my credit report. Finally, I got a letter in the mail from Westlake Financial Servies that they are willing to settle my loan for less then what is owed. XXXX days ago I called and settled the account for a little over {$500.00}. Today I recieved an email from a company requesting more information from Westlake Financal and I for gap coverage that the loan company is trying to make a claim with. They also had all of the paperwork from when I purchased the vehicle that I DID infact have GAP coverage. I have now suffered very hurt credit from all of the missed payments, a loan on my credit report that states I have settled a loan for less than what was owed, and was getting harassed by phone calls for MONTHS from Westlake Finacial Services for payment. if i was made aware that I had GAP coverage from my loan company ( which they already knew since they filled a claim ) I could have potentally not had to deal with all of this. Since this happen I have called Westlake Finacial to see if I could settle the issue on my own and they HANG UP ON ME everytime I explain the situation and they tell me they will do reasearch. The line just disconnest which proves to me that their was an error and/or they are in the business of scamming people
