These guys are the biggest scammers, insurance companies are using them because they lowball customers so insurance doesnt pay out and insurance cant be sued. I had a vehicle stolen last year and they valued it way under market value and didnt want to pay for customizations done to the car which I presented receipts for. I had a total loss vehicle from 2 months ago from an accident and same thing low ball, valued the car at almost nothing.Initial Complaint

CCC is using automatic deductions, all for 1462 dollars to lower the value of my vehicle. They are not using the comps that I sent into them, instead they pic inferior vehicles that have lower options and higher mileage to manipulate the value of my car. They play a shell game where I send in Comps and they put them on the report as vehicle 12, 22, 38, etc....however when determining the value of the car they only use com vehicles #1-8. I have sent in multiple comps, and the report uses the same 8 vehicles without my upgraded package such as heated seats, rear spoiler, larger wheels, etc... They use a vehicle with ****** miles compared to my vehicle with ***** miles and give me an adjustment of 2700 dollars which is 6 cents per mile. Furthermore, they use vehicles that have been totaled, wrecked, I even had a salvage title vehicle used in the comps, however I ran the Carfax and found this, if you don't dig in, they try to undervalue and are very deliberate. I asked the lady on the phone who was defending a rebuilt car if she was buying a vehicle and could choose a vehicle that had been into an accident or one rebuilt not in an accident which would she choose, all other things are the same, mileage, wear and tear, etc.... she said she wouldn't care they are both the same! This is why I cannot have an honest conversation with this company because no one with half a brain would do that. I have a call recorder if you'd like to listen to it. I would like a fair evaluation of my vehicle not the s**** turning intentional deception.Business Response

Re: Consumer Complaint ******** *****;
File No.: 23641466
To Whom It May Concern:
CCC Intelligent Solutions, **** (CCC) is writing in response to the above-referenced complaint filed by ******** ***** that was received by my office on July 24, 2025. *** thanks you for the opportunity to respond to Mr. ****** concerns.
At the outset, it is important to note that *** does not adjust, settle, or pay total loss claims. Instead,when specifically requested, *** provides its opinion as to the value of a loss vehicle to inform the requestors analysis and, in the case of an insurance company, assist it in resolving any total loss claims.[1] As such, any questions Mr. ***** has regarding the adjustment or ultimate settlement of his claim should be directed to his insurer. Mr. ****** submission does not provide enough information for *** to locate or speak to his particular valuation, and CCC limits its response to a description of CCCs valuation process.
*** maintains an industry-leading database of used vehicles that, at any point in time, contains detailed information on approximately eight (8) million vehicles currently or recently advertised for sale in the *************. The vehicles in this database are drawn from three distinct sources of information: (a) inspected dealer vehicles; (b) dealer-advertised vehicles; and (c) privately-owned and advertised vehicles. The comparable vehicles used in CCCs total loss valuations are drawn from this database. New comparable vehicles are added to the database daily. Over the course of a year, CCCs database will include information on approximately twenty (20) million unique used vehicles.
When a total loss valuation is requested -- in this case by an insurance company -- the requestor provides CCC with the loss vehicles Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). **** software performs a VIN analysis and identifies the loss vehicles year, make, and model. The insurance company confirms this information and provides CCC with the loss vehicles mileage, options, aftermarket equipment, refurbishments, as well as the zip code where the loss vehicle is garaged. The insurance company also performs a physical inspection of the loss vehicle during which it assesses and rates the pre-collision condition of the loss vehicles key components, which it provides to CCC.
CCCs automated system then searches CCCs database of inspected and advertised vehicles to identify comparable vehicles for use in preparing a valuation of the loss vehicle. CCC identifies comparable vehicles based on the year, make, model, trim level, body style,engine, and location of the loss vehicle. CCCs system also adjusts the price of those vehicles to equate the comparable vehicles more accurately to the loss vehicle, since no two used vehicles are exactly alike. These adjustments allow for an apples-to-apples comparison between the loss vehicle and the comparable vehicles, and account for differences such as mileage and options, as well as for vehicle condition.[2] After the foregoing adjustments have been made, a weighted average of the adjusted values of the comparable vehicles is calculated, considering the similarity of the comparable vehicles as compared to the loss vehicle, their location, the recency of the data, and whether the comparable vehicle was inspected by CCC.
Finally, *** supplies the insurance company with a detailed report explaining the valuation of the loss vehicle and CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss. This report is called a Market Valuation Report or *** for short. The *** lists all the comparable vehicles used in the valuation and includes available detailed information about the comparable vehicles such as the **** the contact information for the seller of the vehicle, the price of the vehicle, the vehicles options, trim level,mileage, the adjusted price after application of the above-described equating adjustments. The *** also describes why and how various adjustments are made and explains the valuation methodology used to determine the vehicle value. *** provides the completed *** to the insurance company. If either the claimant or the insurer require changes after the initial valuation is performed for example, additional comparable information, receipts, refurbishments,restoration, or any additional information regarding the loss vehicle those are provided to CCC by the insurer. *** will consider the information and make adjustments as necessary and appropriate. Ultimately, the insurer retains sole discretion in evaluating the *** as one component when determining the settlement of a total loss claim with the claimant.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to Mr. ****** concerns, as well as your assistance with and attention to this matter.
[1] While many of **** customers are insurance companies, *** is also used by rental car agencies as well as certain local and federal government agencies.
[2] Mr. ***** refers to automatic deductions, all for 1462 dollars. While it is not completely clear what Mr. ***** is referring to, it is possible he is referring to the condition adjustment, which is explained on the Market Valuation Report (***) that *** provides to the insurer. CCCs methodology addresses condition as part of a two-step process. First, the condition of the comparable vehicles is set to a baseline condition that is selected by each individual insurer. In most cases, the condition Normal Wear, which reflects the general condition level of the average vehicle on the road, is used. If a comparable vehicle is listed for sale by a dealership, it is in Dealer Ready condition, and the value of that comparable vehicle is adjusted for condition to equate it to the baseline level of Normal Wear. Importantly, the first step of the condition adjustment does not reduce the value of the comparable vehicles, it only brings the comparable vehicles to a baseline condition level to ensure comparability. In the second step, the various components of the loss vehicle are also compared to this baseline condition and adjusted depending on whether each component is in the same, better, or worse condition than Normal Wear.The condition of the loss vehicle is determined by the insurance companys adjuster and is documented and reflected separately in the Vehicle Condition section of the ***. If all components of the loss vehicle are in Dealer Readycondition, the positive adjustments to the loss would equal the equating adjustment to the comparable vehicles, reflecting that the loss and comparables were in the same condition.Initial Complaint

I am filing this complaint against CCC Intelligent Solutions due to a serious misrepresentation of services and extremely unprofessional conduct by a representative, ****** *******.Although I understand and acknowledge the contract we signed, we agreed to upgrade based on assurances that their new platform would meet very specific business needs. Those assurances were false. The upgraded platform not only failed to deliver what was promised but also caused significant disruption.I attempted to resolve this by simply asking to clear the debt generated by this misleading upgrade and return to our original agreement. This request was repeatedly ignored, mishandled, or met with hostility especially by *** *******, who failed to communicate professionally, provided little to no follow-up, and acted more like an obstacle than a ***************** our last phone call, ****** ******* escalated matters by raising his voice and berating me for contacting his supervisor behavior that is completely inappropriate in a business setting. He spoke in a demeaning, condescending tone that no customer should have to endure.I am requesting CCC honor our original agreement, clear the debt caused by the misrepresented upgrade, and address the misconduct of their representative. I am not seeking to terminate our relationship I am simply asking for fairness and professionalism.Business Response

On October 8, 2024, *************** upgraded their CCC ONE Subscription. With the execution of the new contract, *************** obtained full access to all features provided by ***. To assist customers in utilizing the software effectively and ensure comprehensive user training,*** recommends both remote and onsite training sessions.

*************** did not raise any issues regarding its CCC ONE Subscription until February 24, 2025, when Mr. ****** contacted his *** representative due to being locked out of the software. It was explained to Mr. ****** that the account had been locked because of nonpayment. *************** paid the past due invoices, and the account was reactivated the same day, February 24, 2025. At that time, Mr. ****** requested a downgrade of service. This request was denied in accordance with the contractual terms, which do not allow for the removal of products during the middle of a contract term, but only upon renewal of the contract with the applicable notice.
In May 2025, *********************** account became delinquent again after 3 months of nonpayment. The account was deactivated on May 21, 2025, and sent to collections.

*** is purposefully manipulating vehicle valuation reports for the intent to devalue vehicle actual cash value price. Although they are not determining if the vehicle is totaled or any of the insurance companies duties, they are directly responsible for the opinion that the insurance company perceives regarding the actual cash value of vehicles. I will list the tactics as follows:1) Mandatory deduction of AT LEAST $3300 on all comparable vehicles listed prices based on condition. They claim that this is to "adjust the minute differences " of every vehicle to provide an "apple to apple " comparison. Now, superficially this may appear reasonable to some (MAY APPEAR DOESN'T JUSTIFY DECEIT) However, comparable vehicles that are used nationwide from dealerships are valued on EXACTLY THE CONDITION THAT THE VEHICLE IS WORTH CONSIDERING MILES/WEAR AND TEAR/AGE ETC. They label the comp vehicles as "Dealer Ready" as in perfect NEW CAR FRESH OFF THE *** condition DESPITE CLEARLY BEING USED AND EXTREMELY COMPARABLE TO THE TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE. Why does this matter? It is not standard for a used car dealership to fix every minor scratch inside and out, put new tires, repair minor tears in seats, holes in carpet or really anything listed on their "Average daily use" checklist unless specifically mentioned in vehicle description on dealership website. Now, that means that the dealership has priced the used vehicle for the CONDITION IT IS CURRENTLY IN (Average/Normal wear and tear) which is why the used vehicle is priced lower than a new vehicle. *** then decides to subtract $3300 from every comp to lower the list price for normal wear and tear that has clearly been accounted for in dealership price AND MAKES THE VALUATION REPORT BASED OFF OF THE FALSELY UNDERVALUED comp price thus deceitfully and purposefully lowering the price on every valuation report. Fraud/consumer protection violation.Initial Complaint

I filed a claim on 4/3/25. The following day 4/5 we were contacted by, the adjuster for ****, she took a statement and recorded it then we sent her pictures of the damages to my 2015 ***** Equinox. I then got a call back and arrangements were made to drop my vehicle off at a body shop and a rental was provided on 4/11/25. Messages were not returned until 4/16/25 when a different adjuster reached out to tell me my vehicle was deemed a loss and to offer me 6402 for my car. I declined as I still owe on this vehicle *******. I asked about retaining my vehicle since the damages were cosmetic and the car still ran fine and was offered ******* for owner retention. We declined on 4/17/25. He advised me to look for comparable vehicles in my area ********* with 15k miles more or less on the odometer and same engine, trim and so forth and he sent me the report. I sent 4 comparables over on 4/18/25 and was contacted by yet another adjuster they would be sent for review. On 4/22/25 I was told my comparables did not add value to the settlement and was sent another CCC1 report. There were comparables that were no longer there when I searched, comparables listed twice, and some that had been in accidents and the service advisor at the body shop was named as the appraiser on the report. Today 4/23/25 I was contacted by **** and a representative from **** in a 3 way conversation where they told me the service advisor was their appraiser, the comparables that could no longer be verified could still be used even though I needed to provide current comparables and the comparables that were in an accident didnt matter because they were fixed. They even went as far as ******, ********, *********** and ******* to find lower prices at car lots that didnt even exist anymore. Im in *****. They then told me the 2nd adjuster had misinformed me about my search and I could only use 2015 models not 2016. Ultimately I have been offered ******* for my owner retain.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
CCC Intelligent Solutions, **** (CCC) is writing in response to the above-referenced complaint filed by ******* ******* that was received by my office on April 25, 2025. *** thanks you for the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******** concerns.
At the outset, it is important to note that *** does not determine whether a vehicle is repairable or is considered a total loss. That determination is made solely by the insurance company adjusting the claim, in this case ********************** (****).*** also does not adjust, settle, or pay total loss claims. Instead,when specifically requested, *** provides its opinion as to the value of a loss vehicle to inform the requestors analysis and, in the case of an insurance company, assist it in resolving any total loss claims.[1] As such, any questions regarding whether the vehicle should have been determined a total loss or about the adjustment or ultimate settlement of the claim should be directed to Ms. ******** insurer. *** will limit its response to CCCs valuation process.

CCCs automated system then searches CCCs database of inspected and advertised vehicles to identify possible comparable vehicles for use in preparing a valuation of the loss vehicle. CCC identifies comparable vehicles based on the year, make, model, trim level, body style, engine, and location of the loss vehicle.

A copy of the *** provided to **** is attached hereto as Exhibit A. As can be seen from the ***, CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss vehicle was based on the specific characteristics of the vehicle, such as its age, mileage, condition, equipment, and options. *** was able to locate ten comparable vehicles of the same year, make, model, and engine as the loss vehicle that were within 75 miles of the loss vehicles primary zip code and had similar mileage (i.e., +/- 15% of the loss vehicles mileage).[3] See Ex.A at 8-11. CCC based its initial valuation off of these comparable vehicles.
After *** sent the initial valuation, the insurer asked *** to consider one additional comparable vehicle that CCC understands was provided to the insurer by Ms. ******** *** has no record of four comparable vehicles being sent for consideration as mentioned by Ms. ******** The comparable vehicle provided by Ms. ******* did not comport with CCCs methodology because it was a model year newer (2016, rather than 2015) and was of a different trim (LS, rather than LT1). In light of the insurers request to add comparable vehicles, *** also expanded its initial search and included fifteen additional comparable vehicles to the valuation. See Ex. A at ***** (Comparable Nos. 11-25).These additional comparable vehicles supported CCCs initial opinion as to value.
*** received a request from **** on April 28, 2025 to re-run the valuation using specific comparables and to remove comparable number three from the ***, deviating from CCCs methodology. When an insurer directs CCC to use certain comparable vehicles or search criteria, a note is added to the Valuation Notes section of the *** for transparency, stating:
INSURER DIRECTED CCC ON THE CRITERIA AND/OR VEHICLES TO USE AS COMPARABLE VEHICLES FOR THIS VALUATION. THE VALUATION DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT CCCS OPINION AS TO THE MARKET VALUE OF THE **** VEHICLE.
This *** is included as Exhibit B. Ten comparables were utilized on this valuation, all within 75 miles of the loss vehicle and the same trim.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******** concerns, as well as your assistance with and attention to this matter.
[1] While many of **** customers are insurance companies, *** is also used by rental car agencies as well as certain local and federal government agencies.
[2] Again, *** does not make any decisions regarding whether a vehicle is a total loss or repairable, and CCCs total loss valuations are based upon information provided from the insurers physical inspection of the vehicle.
[3] In its valuations, CCC uses comparable vehicles that are currently or were for sale within 90 days of the loss, and as such, it is possible that some vehicles may no longer be for sale by at the time the insured receives the valuation. *** is not searching for replacement vehicles, but for vehicles that will help CCC form an opinion as to its opinion of the value of the vehicle.Customer Answer

If its an apples to apples comparison then my vehicle should be compared with vehicles like mine, not vehicles that have been in accidents, are hundreds of miles away or are no longer able to be researched by the consumer. **** ***orts are specifically looking for vehicles even going as far as to other states to find the cheapest possible to compare to.

My wife was in a no-collision car accident. Thankfully her and my daughter were okay. My car was totalled out and my insurance company, state farm, outsourced the appraisal company CCCIS. I was immediately low-balled on my car value so I requested the official report along with the comparisons used. All of the vehicles used in comparison have more miles than mine, by 10s of thousands, or are for sale at non-accredited lots or auction yards. CCCIS is aggressvely attempting to underpay what my vehicle is worth. I was just made aware that CCIS is no accredited themselves upon logging into the BBB, however , I do not feel this justifies this company ripping off everyone who cannot afford a independent appraisal. These shady business practices should be illegalCustomer Answer

I was told they were using a 150 mile radius. They very obviously widened the search in order to find vehicles worth so much less, it would drop the average. Also, they dug up cars that are for sale at auctions and lemon lots. My car had no accidents and regular services done when needed. Inaccurate comparisons are already costing me thousands. I have to pay a professional consultant out of pocket in order to contest this.
This lowballing should be illegal. Based on their reviews on the better business bureau, this is common.

CCCs automated system then searches CCCs database of inspected and advertised vehicles to identify the best possible comparable vehicles for use in preparing a valuation of the loss vehicle. CCC identifies comparable vehicles based on the year, make, model,trim level, body style, engine, and location of the loss vehicle. CCCs system also adjusts the price of those vehicles to equate the comparable vehicles more accurately to the loss vehicle, since no two used vehicles are exactly alike.These adjustments allow for an apples-to-apples comparison between the loss vehicle and the comparable vehicles, and account for differences such as mileage and options, as well as for vehicle condition. After the foregoing adjustments have been made, a weighted average of the adjusted values of the comparable vehicles is calculated, considering the similarity of the comparable vehicles as compared to the loss vehicle, their location, the recency of the data, and whether the comparable vehicle was inspected by CCC.
Finally, CCC supplies the insurance company with a detailed report explaining the valuation of the loss vehicle and CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss. This report is called a Market Valuation Report or *** for short. The *** lists all the comparable vehicles used in the valuation and includes available detailed information about the comparable vehicles such as the **** the contact information for the seller of the vehicle, the price of the vehicle, the vehicles options, trim level,mileage, the adjusted price after application of the above-described equating adjustments. The *** also describes why and how various adjustments are made and explains the valuation methodology used to determine the vehicle value. CCC provides the completed *** to the insurance company, which then considers the *** in its sole discretion as one piece of information used in its settlement of its total loss claim with the claimant.
A copy of the *** provided to State Farm was attached to Mr. ******* submission. As can be seen from the ***, CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss vehicle was based on the specific characteristics of the vehicle, such as its age, mileage, condition, equipment,and options. The vehicle at issue here was over 15 years old. Typically, older vehicles have fewer comparables. CCC was, however, able to locate seven comparable vehicles within 72 miles of the loss zip code and with similar mileage to the loss vehicles (within 20% the loss vehicles mileage). See *** at 8-10. Additionally, the comparable vehicles were the same year, make, model,and engine as the loss vehicle.[2] See id. In contrast to Mr. ******* claims, the majority of the comparable vehicles that CCC used to support its opinion as to the value had fewer miles than the loss vehicle. For example, Comparables 1 and 5 had approximately ****** fewer miles than the loss; Comparable 3, approximately ****** miles fewer; and Comparable 4, approximately ****** miles fewer. Only two of the seven comparables had higher mileage: Comparable 6 had approximately ***** miles more than the loss, and Comparable 7, approximately ****** miles more. See id. CCC based its initial valuation off of these comparable vehicles.
After CCC sent the initial valuation, the insurer asked CCC to consider five additional comparable vehicles that it understands were provided to the insurer by ****************. Four of those comparable vehicles were added to the valuation and supported CCCs initial opinion as to value. See *** at ***** (Comparable Nos. 8, 10, 16,19). Notably, several of the vehicles provided by **************** through his insurer had significantly fewer miles than the loss vehicle. See id. at 13 (showing Comparable 19 with ****** fewer miles or nearly half of the loss vehicles miles). The fifth comparable vehicle provided by **************** did not have contact information listed and as such, CCC does not consider it a proper vehicle to include in its valuation, as CCC requires contact information for all comparable vehicles.
In light of the insurers request to add comparable vehicles, CCC also expanded its initial search and added eleven supplemental comparable vehicles. See *** at ***** (Comparable Nos. 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22). While some of these comparable vehicles were farther away than the initial seven comparable vehicles that formed CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss, all of the additional comparable vehicles supported CCCs initial opinion as to value. As such, these vehicles did not impact CCCs opinion as to value.
CCC is always willing to consider additional comparable vehicles or information that *** affect CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss vehicle. Because CCC does not adjust, settle, or pay total loss claims, **************** should work through his insurer to submit any additional information to CCC that he *** have or would like the insurer to consider.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to Mr. ******* concerns, as well as your assistance with and attention to this matter.
[1] While many of CCCs customers are insurance companies, CCC is also used by rental car agencies as well as certain local and federal government agencies.
[2] CCC uses comparable vehicles that are currently or were for sale within 90 days of the loss, and as such, it is possible that some vehicles *** no longer be for sale by at the time the insured receives the valuation. CCC is not searching for replacement vehicles, but for vehicles that will help CCC form an opinion as to its opinion of the value of the vehicle in the market.Initial Complaint

CCC ONE is colluding with my insurance company Liberty Mutual to reduce my auto claim. Under the direction of Liberty Mutual once I found a comparable car on my own, intentionally flooded the report with lower Select Trim cars to reduce the value of calculated. After reports consistently including only the correct Premium trim the report including my comparable vehicle lower trim vehicles were transparently used to weigh down the calculation. Also an arbitrary 3K is being reduced on every car without justification and is being used to suppress the claim value.Business Response

Re: Consumer Complaint *********************;
File No.: 21641547
To Whom It May ****************************************************************************** CCC Intelligent Solutions, **** (CCC) is writing in response to the above-referenced complaint filed by ********************* that was received by my office on April 30, 2024. CCC thanks you for the opportunity to respond to ********************* concerns.
At the outset, it is important to note CCC does not adjust, settle, or pay total loss claims. Those decisions are made solely by the insurance company adjusting the claim, in this case ******************************** (Liberty). Instead, when specifically requested, CCC provides its opinion as to the value of a loss vehicle to inform the requestors analysis and, in the case of an insurance company, assist the company in resolving any total loss claims.[1] As such, any questions ************** has regarding the ultimate settlement of his claim should be directed to his insurer. CCC will limit its response to CCCs valuation process.
CCC maintains an industry-leading database of used vehicles that, at any point in time, contains detailed information on approximately eight (8) million vehicles currently or recently advertised for sale in the *************. The vehicles in this database are drawn from three distinct sources of information: (a) inspected dealer vehicles; (b) dealer-advertised vehicles; and (c) privately-owned and advertised vehicles. The comparable vehicles used in CCCs total loss valuations are drawn from this database. New comparable vehicles are added to the database daily. Over the course of a year, CCCs database will include information on approximately twenty (20) million unique used vehicles.
When a total loss valuation is requested -- in this case by the insurance company -- the requestor provides CCC with the loss vehicles Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). CCCs software performs a VIN analysis and identifies the loss vehicles year, make,and model. The insurance company confirms this information and provides CCC with the loss vehicles mileage, options, aftermarket equipment, refurbishments,as well as the zip code where the loss vehicle is garaged. The insurance company also performs a physical inspection of the loss vehicle during which it assesses and rates the pre-collision condition of the loss vehicles key components, which it provides to CCC.
CCCs automated system then searches CCCs database of inspected and advertised vehicles to identify the best possible comparable vehicles for use in preparing a valuation of the loss vehicle. CCC identifies comparable vehicles based on the year, make, model,trim level, body style, engine, and location of the loss vehicle. CCCs system also adjusts the price of those vehicles to equate the comparable vehicles more accurately to the loss vehicle, since no two used vehicles are exactly alike.These adjustments allow for an apples-to-apples comparison between the loss vehicle and the comparable vehicles, and account for differences such as mileage and options, as well as for vehicle condition. After the foregoing adjustments have been made, a weighted average of the adjusted values of the comparable vehicles is calculated, considering the similarity of the comparable vehicles as compared to the loss vehicle, their location, the recency of the data, and whether the comparable vehicle was inspected by CCC.
Finally, CCC supplies the insurance company with a detailed report explaining the valuation of the loss vehicle and CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss. This report is called a Market Valuation Report or *** for short. The *** lists all the comparable vehicles used in the valuation and includes available detailed information about the comparable vehicles such as the **** the contact information for the seller of the vehicle, the price of the vehicle, the vehicles options, trim level,mileage, the adjusted price after application of the above-described equating adjustments. The *** also describes why and how various adjustments are made and explains the valuation methodology used to determine the vehicle value. CCC provides the completed *** to the insurance company, which then considers the *** in its sole discretion as one piece of information used in its settlement of its total loss claim with the claimant.
In this case, CCC initially provided its opinion as to the value of the vehicle pursuant to N.J. Admin. Code 11:3-10.4(a)(3),as CCC is an approved computerized source. In its initial valuation (attached hereto as Exhibit A), CCC located two comparable vehicles that were also 2022 **** Mustang Mach-E ******* RWD, within 100 miles of the loss vehicle, and had similar options to the loss vehicle. See Ex. A at *****. CCC adjusted those vehicles to account for differences in mileage, packages, and condition.[2]As can be seen from the ***, CCCs opinion as to the value of the loss vehicle was based on the specific characteristics of the vehicle, such as its age, mileage, condition, and options. The two comparable vehicles within 100 miles of the loss zip code were the same year, make, and model, and had similar options. See id. CCC based its initial valuation off of these comparable vehicles.
Shortly thereafter, the insurer requested that CCC to provide a valuation as though the loss vehicle was a new model year vehicle, or a Better Car Replacement valuation. This type of valuation is specific to the insurer and was done at the insurers direction.Therefore, at the direction of Liberty Mutual, CCC valued the loss as a year newer than the actual VIN indicated, i.e., 2023 model year versus 2022,and with ****** miles less than the odometer reading that was provided to CCC. CCC then provided this valuation to the insurer, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
After CCC provided the prior two valuation reports, CCC received two additional comparable vehicles from insurer that it understands were provided to the insurer by **************. Those comparable vehicles were located several thousand miles away from the loss vehicle, with one being ***** miles and the other being ***** miles away. Pursuant to New Jersey regulations and CCCs approved methodology, CCC provides valuations by giving primary consideration to the values of vehicles in the local market area (N.J.Admin. Code 11:3-10.4(a)(3)), CCC declined to include the additional comparable vehicles as part of its opinion as to the value of the loss vehicle but added six supplemental comparable vehicles all of which supported CCCs initial opinion as to value. As can be seen from the valuation report (attached hereto as Exhibit C), while those supplemental comparable vehicles were further from the loss than the initial comparable vehicles, they were closer than the comparable vehicles provided by **************, were within 430 miles of the loss, and were the same year, make, and model as the loss vehicle. See Ex. C at ***** (Comparable Nos. 3-8).
Nearly four months later, CCC received a request from the insurer to provide an updated valuation and to include a specific comparable vehicle in that valuation. CCC provided an updated valuation, attached hereto as Exhibit D, which includes the specific comparable vehicle that the insurer asked CCC to include. See Ex. D at 12 (Comparable 4). CCC also included four other comparable vehicles that were recently for sale and were within 300 miles of the loss vehicle and provided this *** to the insurer. See id. at *****. Because the insurer had specifically directed CCC to use certain comparable vehicles in this valuation,the valuation no longer reflected CCCs valuation methodology or its opinion as to the value of the loss vehicle. This was noted on the ***. See id. at ******/22/2024 14:11 - INSURER DIRECTED CCC ON THE CRITERIA AND/OR VEHICLES TO USE AS COMPARABLE VEHICLES FOR THIS VALUATION. THE VALUATION DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT CCC'S OPINION AS TO THE MARKET VALUE OF THE **** VEHICLE.).
CCC has not received any additional information from the insurer since providing the valuation report in Exhibit D.Because CCC does not adjust, settle, or pay total loss claims, ************** should work through his insurer to submit any additional information he may have or would like the insurer to consider.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to **************** concerns, as well as your assistance with and attention to this matter.
[1] While many of CCCs customers are insurance companies, CCC is also used by rental car agencies as well as certain local and federal government agencies.
[2] ************** refers to an arbitrary 3K is being reduced on every car. While it is not completely clear what ************** is referring to, it is possible he is referring to the condition adjustment, which is explained on page 10 of the ***. CCCs methodology addresses condition as part of a two-step process. First,the condition of the comparable vehicles is set to a baseline condition that is selected by each individual insurer. In this case, the condition Normal Wear,which reflects the general condition level of the average vehicle on the road, was used. If a comparable vehicle is listed for sale by a dealership, it is in Dealer Ready condition,and the value of that comparable vehicle is adjusted for condition to equate it to the baseline level of Normal Wear. Importantly, the first step of the condition adjustment does not reduce the value of the comparable vehicles,it only brings the comparable vehicles to a baseline condition level to ensure comparability. In the second step, the various components of the loss vehicle are also compared to this baseline condition and adjusted depending on whether each component is in the same, better, or worse condition than Normal Wear.The condition of the loss vehicle is determined by the insurance companys adjuster and is documented and reflected separately in the Vehicle Condition section of the ***. See Ex. A at 8. In this case, seven components of *************** vehicle were in Dealer Ready condition, and positive adjustments to the value of the loss vehicle were made. Had all components of the loss vehicle been in Dealer Ready condition, the positive adjustments to the loss would have equaled the condition adjustment to the comparable vehicles, reflecting that the loss and comparables were in the same condition.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because I do not believe their explanation that Liberty Mutual didnt direct them in any way to water down the valuation once run with the comparable I provided.

In September 2020, I requested a permanent opt out to all health coverage from my University health care provider. In August of 2023, I found out this permanent opt out did not work somehow, and that i was being charged the ~$330 coverage fee, for a service I did not need, use and opted out for 3 years prior, I applied for a refund, and re-opted out to the coverage. Over the last 6 months, *** called, Emailed and formally complained to this company wondering where my refund was, and was told it would be coming in October, December, January, and February, with no end in sight. I still do not have my money, and recently was told I would be refunded from my previous opt out (2020 onward) with still, no updates, timelines, or even where to expect this refund.Although the amount paid is listed as 330, the money taken since 2020 is no known, and finding the past transactions has proven to be incredibly difficult. i just want my money, back, I have not wanted this service since 2020, opted out and have been waiting for that money back for years at this point.Business Response
