  My leased *********** was towed to Insurance Auto Auction (IAA) located in ***********, **********. The bank who owns my leased vehicle gave me authorization to go collect my personal belongings from inside the vehicle at IAA. When I went to the location at *****************************************************************, my vehicle was staged/ labeled as a biohazard with a syringe in the driver side door which is used for injecting drugs. The car was ransacked and all my valuables were stolen. I called the police to file a report, and the staff at IAA told the Sheriff at the scene that they would reimburse me for the stolen valuables if I did not proceed with filing a police report.

  Good Morning *** *****, 

  Thank you for the information you provided. After further investigation and discussion with the branch manager, we would like to share the following findings:
  According to the branch manager:
  This unit arrived at the branch as a biohazard, which prohibited any staff member from entering the vehicle. When the owner came to retrieve her personal items, she initially mentioned that some items were missing but declined to specify what was missing, which limited our ability to assist her or involve the provider in resolving the issue.
  She then informed us that she had contacted the police and chose not to touch the vehicle. For safety reasons, I asked her to wait in the parking lot and refrain from walking around the yard if she was not retrieving her belongings. She replied that she would proceed to collect her items.
  Law enforcement arrived while she was still on-site, spoke with her, and, as I understand, provided her with a report before departing. There was no further communication between us after that. I want to clarify that I did not state or imply that reimbursement would be offered in exchange for not filing a complaint. I would never make such a statement.
  The owner eventually retrieved the rest of her items, returned my vest and flag, thanked us, and then left the premises.
  Additionally, our records confirm that the vehicle was not brought directly to our facility following repossession. It was held at an off-site location, Randys Towing (not owned or operated by IAA), from April 14, 2025, to April 22, 2025, when it was then checked in at IAA on the 22nd. 

  Please understand that IAA does not have control over how or when vehicles are delivered to us by third-party providers or off-site storage locations.
  We hope this information provides further clarity regarding the situation. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out.

   

  Thank you,

  Complaint: 23428683
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  *******, the manager at IAA, became very defensive when I was feeling very unwell while on the phone with my family and  discussing the stolen items. She interrupted my phone conversation to defend IAA while I did not even accuse anyone. I did tell *******, the Manager, "all of my valuables were missing" although I could not write a list at the very moment; my hands were shaking as I kept discovering more items were stolen and I would not know the full extent of what items were stolen until I was finished unloading the car. ******* told me I would have to leave the premises if I called the police, and she stated she would call the bank to revoke my authorization to collect my personal items. I remained calm and agreeable, and never spoke to her again during the time I collected the rest of my belongings while waiting for the police/ sheriff to arrive (the Manager of IAA was unaware I did in fact call the police the report the crime). The Sherifd who spoke to IAA staff and I separately told me IAA staff stated they were willing to reimburse me through their insurance if I did not proceed with filing a police report; that is an admission to guilt, and I continued to file the police report because I do not bargain with dishonest people; I need justice. My car was in police custody before arriving to IAA; ******* towing and the city of *********** have a contract for holding vehicles towed by the police department, even I (the owner of the valuables) did not have the ability to enter ******* towing lot to collect anything. I do not own or use the syringe I found in the driver side door, it was placed there. The green ink used to mark the IAA label on the car's windshield is the same green ink used to label the driver side door as a biohazard, due to the needle placed there. For further details regarding the investigation, the **************************** may be contacted with the report # provided. I do not have authority to investigate the crime, I am seeking reimbursement for all of my stolen valuables.

  purchased a vehicle through Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA). The vehicle was sold with the representation that it came with a valid, transferable title. After the purchase, we resold the vehicle to a third-party buyer located in ****, ********On April 11, 2025, the buyer went to the Arizona DMV to register the vehicle and presented the title that was provided by IAA. However, the *** informed them that the title had been invalidated due to a duplicate title request submitted on April 8, 2025after IAA had already sold the vehicle.Neither we nor our buyer requested this duplicate title. In fact, the buyer still possesses the original title issued by IAA. According to *** policy, a duplicate title cannot be issued unless the original is surrendered. Therefore, the only plausible explanation is that IAA or the previous titled owner (LeasePlan USA) submitted the request, which has now caused a serious legal and financial problem.Our buyer is unable to register the vehicle and is demanding a refund. We have reached out to IAA multiple times and have yet to receive a resolution or a valid replacement title. Under California law, a seller is legally obligated to provide a clear and transferable title at the time of sale. Failing to do so is a breach of that obligation.Resolution Requested:We are requesting that IAA immediately take responsibility for this error by:Investigating and confirming who submitted the duplicate title request on April 8, 2025.Providing a valid, transferable title for the vehicle without further delay.If a valid title cannot be delivered, issuing a full refund to the buyer.This situation has caused significant hardship, and we urge IAA to act swiftly to correct it.

  On May 15, 2025, I purchased a 2014 ************* GL450 (VIN: *****************) via IAA Gardena through ************. I arrived at IAA on May 16, but the key did not start the vehicle and didnt match the lock. The staff confirmed I could leave the car on-site safely until May 21 while I arranged a service pickup.When I returned on May 21, the car had clearly been damaged on their lot: a broken passenger headlight, bent hood, and misaligned bumper/fender. These damages were not present when I inspected the car on May 16 and are not shown in the original auction photos. IAA's manager initially acknowledged the extension of storage but then refused any liability. I did not take possession or request release on May 16, as I couldnt operate the vehicle.The ************* dealership has confirmed the damage and the repair estimate is expected to exceed $2,000. IAA only offered $200 as a "courtesy" despite the damages clearly occurring on their secured property. I'm requesting reimbursement based on the dealer repair estimate, and formal acknowledgment of mishandling.

  Thank you for submitting your claim to Buyer Services.
  After further review, we are unable to assist with this matter, as the vehicle in question was sold directly to another buyer through our auction. As you are not listed on that buyer's account, we cannot process a claim on your behalf.

  Complaint: 23371663
  
  I am rejecting this response because: I am submitting a formal rebuttal to the businesss response regarding Complaint ID ********, along with supporting documentation consolidated in the attached files titled: IAA_Claim_Evidence_Amkhad_Aiubov_Final.pdf.
  "IAA_Claim_Rebuilt_Final.pdf"
  
  While the auction was conducted via a broker account (************), I am the rightful purchaser and end-user who fully funded the transaction and took physical possession of the vehicle directly from IAA. This fact is supported by the attached sales invoice, Bill of Sale, Certificate of Fact, and IAA release receipt issued in conjunction with my pickup of the vehicle.
  
  Importantly, IAA voluntarily released the vehicle to me without requiring any verification beyond standard protocol, thereby affirming my status as the authorized and intended recipient. It is inconsistent for IAA to now deny my standing to raise a complaint.
  
  This dispute is not about pre-sale conditions or account ownership but pertains exclusively to damage incurred while the vehicle remained in IAAs custody post-salebetween the date of full payment and the physical release of the unit. As a bailee, IAA had a duty of care to safeguard the sold property during this interim. The photographic evidence and signed on-site damage assessment included in the attached file substantiate that this duty was breached.
  
  Given that the vehicle was demonstrably damaged prior to release and while under IAAs responsibility, I request that this complaint be formally reopened and reviewed on the merits of the custodial liability, irrespective of account origin.
  
  I am prepared to provide additional documentation or clarification as required.
  
  Sincerely,

  Amkhad Aiubov

  We purchased the vehicle from the IAAI *********** branch. After the payment was processed, I contacted ****************** in ***** to arrange for the vehicles pickup. Upon following up, I was informed by ******** that when their driver attempted to collect the vehicle, they were told it had already been picked up by another company.We investigated and discovered that the vehicle was released without a gate pass to a driver who was not on our authorized list. IAAI later provided us with information about the individual who picked up the car. The driver disclosed who hired him, where the vehicle was delivered, and even confirmed that he was paid via Zelle.The car was ultimately delivered to a location in ********. Given that the unauthorized party had access to our buyer number and the vehicles stock number, we suspect this may have been an internal breach.We have attempted to contact the manager at the *********** branch multiple times, but he has been unresponsive and has stopped answering our calls or providing assistance

  Good **************** ***** Camilie,
  Thank you for submitting your claim to IAA Buyer Services.
  After a thorough review, we found that the vehicle in question was released to a transporter who had the correct buyer number, stock number, and confirmation that the unit was paid for. Based on this, the release followed our standard procedures.
  We also reviewed our internal systems and did not detect any signs of compromise. Please note that your account currently has three other active users, and we have observed multiple individuals previously added to the account.
  To better assist all our buyers, we only require that a transporter provide the buyer number and stock number when picking up a vehicle. This helps ensure efficiency and avoids unnecessary delays in vehicle releases.
  Additionally, we have forwarded your claim to the branch manager for further review.
  We sincerely hope your vehicle is located soon. However, since the driver had all the correct information at the time of pickup, we were unable to deny the release.
  Best regards,

  I sold a vehicle to Peddle in which they informed me the buyer was this company. This buyer has the responsibility of taking care of all paperwork and transferring the title into their name and they have failed to do so. I contacted them on April 24 to inquire about the status of their transferring of the title into their name because I risk receiving tickets and am obligated to maintain insurance on the vehicle. It has now been weeks- when I contacted them to ask I was told Theyll do it when they get to it, Im not the girl What kind of customer service and professionalism is that? I am now going to suffer legal and financial damages due to this companies negligence and they have no care in the world, or any urgency whatsoever I assist in solving the matter. You can either do your part and register the vehicle and stop invalidating my concerns or legal troubles will arise. While youre at it, give your employees a ****** on proper customer service.

  Thank you for reaching out.
  Please be advised that we are an auction house and do not purchase vehicles directly. Our role is to facilitate the sale of vehicles by connecting sellers with potential buyers through our auction platform.
  After further review and investigation, we have confirmed that the vehicle in question was sold through our auction. However, the seller of the vehicle was Peddle, not IAA. As such, we are not the buyer of the vehicle.
  We recommend reaching out to Peddle directly for any further information or concerns regarding the sale, as the vehicle is no longer in our possession and has been sold.

  I bought a car from IAAI auctions in ******** and in the description it said the car Runs and drives. It is a code they put on all their cars so incase your sitatution is like mine and you cant make it to the branch they let you know whether it is "stationary" Does not run or drive or they lable it "Run and Drive" which means that they turned it on with or without a jump box and the car started and moved backwards and forwards on its own. After I recieved the car, there was no way anyone was able to start that car. It was mechanically impossible. The fuel line had been cut as well as the wiring to the fuel pump and holes in the gas tank. I immediately let IAAI know and let them know what was going on,
