    on 4/15/2025 i (*** *********) dropped my truck off to keller motors because my truck broke down. i was contacted on 4/17/2025 that my truck needed a tear down to find issues. on 4/22/2025 i was contacted by Keller and was told mercury was sending out an inspector to view my truck damages. inspector came out and viewed my truck on 04/24/25. on 4/25/2025 i was contacted again by Keller motors that my repair was approved. my service tech stated go ahead and get a rental if needed. keep in mind prior to this claim, i only had my truck for about 10 days because prior to this claim my truck was in the shop for transmission issues, same thing happened, i was contacted by Keller and they told me it was approved so i went down to rental agency picked up a car, and when my truck repair was completed , i got the invoice and submitted to mercury insurance and they wrote me a check for 180$ reimbursement. Moving forward to this current most recent repair for engine issues, the repair was approved and i went down to the rental agency again and rented a car and when my truck repair was completed i submitted my invoice once again to mercury for reimbursement, i was told Keller motor was paid out because the rental agency PUT BILL to Keller Motors, when i should have been paid out. Mercury failed to communicate the claim with me and did not comfy with me and completely pushed me out of the picture when I'm the person who has the coverage. their excuses and errors reflects their work and demonstrates their clients don't matter and i was the one stuck with a bill when my policy clearly states my coverage. over all i did not authorize mercury to pay out the motor shop for my rental. I am the client who paid for the policy and i am the client who paid for the rental, and i am the client who rented and used the rental and was charged 96.05% on my credit card ending in 1299, and mercury refuses to pay me what's owed. my policy and invoice was attached for viewing.

    Dear Mr. *********:


    We are in receipt of the above-referenced complaint filed
    with the Better Business Bureau. It appears you purchased a Mechanical
    Breakdown Insurance Plan from Logix Federal Credit Union on August 3, 2020.
    This policy will reimburse you, or an authorized repair facility for coverages
    under this policy.

    On April 22, 2025 we were contacted by *** at Keller Motors
    Inc. of Hanford regarding a noise from your engine. An inspection was assigned,
    and the claim was subsequently approved for repairs on April 25, 2025.

    During the call on April 25, 2025, *** at Keller Motors, in
    order to minimize your out of pocket expenses, stated they were going to
    rent a vehicle on your behalf and send us the sublet invoice for reimbursement.
    At that time, the rental was added to the claim and reimbursement was approved
    to Keller Motors for a maximum reimbursement of $180.

    The invoice you supplied matches the invoice we received for
    reimbursement. It clearly shows the portion of the invoice billed to Keller
    Motors of Hanford and the additional charges billed to the renter(you). The
    invoice total is $300, of which we reimbursed the approved $180 to Keller
    Motors of Hanford, leaving you responsible for the overage of $120.

    While we understand that you believe you are entitled to receive the
    reimbursement directly, we must clarify that, in accordance with the claim
    process, the reimbursement was made to Keller Motors—the authorized repair
    facility—to cover the rental costs arranged on your behalf. At this time, we
    have paid the maximum eligible amount under your policy to the designated
    repair facility.


    Please let us know if you require further clarification
    regarding the terms of your policy.

                Sincerely,

                ***** ********

    Dear Mr. *********:
    We understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to clarify your
    policy terms. You state you did not authorize anyone to make decisions on your
    behalf. However, according to the terms of your policy, you are required to
    authorize the repair facility to diagnose the vehicle and then the repair
    facility must contact us to report the claim. Additionally, the policy states
    that if the payment is not being paid to the authorized repair facility, we
    will reimburse you directly. See the attached excerpts. In this case, your authorized
    repair facility elected the reimbursement for the claim to be sent to them for
    the repair and the rental charges.
    We understand this differs from your previous claim experience where your
    rental reimbursement had not been requested by you or your authorized repair
    facility at the time the claim was authorized. On that claim, you rented a
    vehicle independently and requested reimbursement after the claim was
    authorized. Since rental had not yet been authorized and you were entitled to
    be reimbursed for rental up to the limits of the policy, we reimbursed $180 of
    the $215.94 leaving your out of pocket expenses at $25.94.
    As we stated in the previous response, on your current
    claim we authorized rental reimbursement to your authorized repair facility
    which they used toward your total rental charges. You only paid the overage
    beyond the authorized amount of rental. That amount would have been your
    responsibility had you paid for the rental in full and subsequently received reimbursement
    from us. By processing the claim in this manner, it minimized your initial out
    of pocket expenses. I understand that you wish to be reimbursed for the rental
    charges that exceeded the policy limits, but the full rental amount has been
    paid on your behalf and there is no further rental coverage available at this
    time.

                Sincerely,

    Dear **************,

    We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with our service. However, we would like to clarify that our claims staff, on multiple occasions, attempted to provide you with the procedure necessary to file a claim, which is also clearly described in the agreement you purchased.

    Rather than file a claim, you verbally requested to cancel your agreement. In response, on October 4, 2022, we emailed you the instructions to cancel the agreement along with a cancellation request form. Subsequently, on October 6, ***************************************************************** cancel the agreement. The mailing address we used matches the address submitted on the above referenced complaint.In addition, the email address you provided matches the email address you used to contact us. Since the addresses to which we sent our communications appear to be correct, we can only assume you received our communication and chose not to cancel your agreement. To date, we have not received a completed cancellation request form nor a claim report following the claim reporting terms of the contract.

    To assist you with your desire to cancel the contract, we can send you a link that will allow you to cancel the contract online. This online process is a recently developed process that was not available at the time you originally requested to cancel the contract. Please send an email requesting cancellation to ****************************************** from email address will be used to provide you with the online cancellation link. We hope this information helps clarify any misunderstandings and we remain committed to providing excellent customer service.
