Complaint narrative:
I was in an accident with my vehicle, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, it was totaled XX/XX/XXXX. Reported it to everyone, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( lien holder ) contacted me because there was still a balance left. I was told I had to pay the remaining balance, but I was injured and had no source of income. Contacted XXXX XXXX of XXXX to cancel out the warranties and let them know my vehicle was totaled. XXXX XXXX of XXXX took the longest. XXXX paid their remaining portion. XXXX felt they weren't obligated to pay the remaining balance, so they only paid partial. I was told since I filed with GAP claim, they weren't responsible for the remaining balance. XXXX wanted the GAP calculations and I sent everything from GAP to XXXX. I reported exactly what I was told from Banister to GAP and they were confused and did not understand their decision because it was their responsibility to pay the remaining balance. XXXX kept calling me to solve the situation by putting mre in another vehicle instead of paying the balance off. I declined numerous times because I just wanted the totaled vehicle paid off. XXXX ended up paying for the remaining balance of the vehicle not XXXX XXXX of XXXX. I had the vehicle for less than a year, when I signed my contract for the vehicle, I was told the vehicle would be covered if anything happened to it within less than a year. That wasn't the case and XXXX tried to solve my remaining balance with another vehicle instead of just paying off the balance and I denied another vehicle. Denied the vehicle from XXXX and my credit was messed up even more because of the remaining balance they didn't pay and XXXX paid the remaining balance and XXXX kept calling and I kept denying their offer again. I finally told XXXX off and blocked every number numerous times. As a result mycredit took more of a hit than anything and I'm not able to make any more financial moves until this has been removed from my credit. The account went directly to collections when the lien holder didn't receive any additional payments, well full payment from XXXX which made my account delinquent. Even though GAP paid the remaining balance, I can't do anything, I was supposed to move from me current location and I'm not able to do so on account of this delinquency collection account. Why do I have to suffer from someone's else who wouldn't take accountability of the situation as they were supposed to. I even contacted XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) via email and he had no real response
