I have contacted this company multiple times since last year and now my insurance agency has done the same.
The only bill I receive is an intent to cancel with a 25.00 late fee. In the last few months my agent said they would disregard the recent late fee but not the past ones and correct the billing.
It has not been corrected and I still get only the late bill with the late fee. When I have called in the past I was told they have my information so I must be getting something. This has been ongoing since last year. I feel a year of there late fees refunded would wake someone up over there. Can you contact them because they don't seem to respond to me or my agent.

Provider gave insurance quote and requested a deposit for the policy and addiontal information.

Deposit paid and additional info sent.
Upon receiving the info the provider stated my exerpeience was insufficient for the quoted policy.

They then increased the policy request by 600%.

I obviously refused and went with a different carrier.

They then processed my deposit for a policy that was denied for 230.00. I pointed this out and they told me it would be 7-14 days to refund.

It has now been 15 days and my funds have not been returned.

The policy was never enacted and no payment should have been taken.

Any document i signed was in agreement to the quoted policy that was never honoured.

This is theft and fraud

agent requesting recission. His refund has been processed and will be issued on

Complaint* ********

I am rejecting this response because: You took a deposit from a policy that was never delivered. If payment is taken that means the policy should be honoured. This is a process in error on the business part or intentional fraud. I was already given an incorrect refund timeline 7-14 days and its beyond that. No matter is resolved until the funds are returned to the account. 14 days for a refund on a digital transaction with no physical goods involved is a unacceptable. The funds are being held intentionally and no service was provided. This is theft.
The business is making best guesses around bank processes and cant guarantee that time frame. How am I given a 2 week window and now theyre positive ill get it in a day? Beyond unprofessional and a cliche represetnation of insurance companies.

Sincerely,

Cancelled insurance because of increase from insurance provider. The money was sent back to IPFS and they say a check was mailed to me in 3/24/24. Called back today 3/25/25 **** rep said no one cashed the check and it was mailed. She also stated that many customers checks are received months from the check date. If the can electronically receive payments, why they could not refund the refund electronically.

On March 25th, a check was issued to the insured* ****** ********** *** to the address on this complaint. We are sorry the
insured has not received it. We would be happy to stop payment and
reissue the refund. Our normal process is refunding by check. However, as a courtesy, we can remit the

To request a stop payment and an ACH refund, the insured
will need to make the request to **************************** so they

I had to cancel my insurance back in 11/2022 and ********** has admitted to not having the right cancellation dates down, and haven't yet sent IPFS the remainder of their funds. I have the email correspondence from the ********** rep that admitted that they didn't have the correct dates recorded, and yet they still haven't did what they need to do to correct things on their end to get IPFS their remaining money. If this continues I will be forced to call the **** ** ********* to get them involved to get this handled. I have sent several emails to them within the last week and no response back. IPFS have contacted IPFS for help with this situation and I haven't received any help from their end just letters of harassment and threats.

RE:

Via BBB website

To Whom it May Concern:

The Complaint filed on March 22, 2024 and assigned ID Number
******** was forwarded to our office for review. It is important to note that IPFS Corporation
(“IPFS”) is a licensed premium finance company and provides insurance premium
financing for borrowers/insureds. IPFS
is not an insurance company, does not provide insurance coverage of any sort, does
not process insured requested cancellations, and does not calculate or process
return premiums due as a result of any insured requested cancellation.

We are unable to locate an account with the information provided
in the complaint in order to properly research the facts of this particular
case. However, based on the information
provided, we are able to ascertain that the Insured is not satisfied with the
service they are receiving from the insurance agent.

As mentioned prior, IPFS only finances insurance premiums.   Any insurance premium financed by IPFS
results in a contractual obligation with monthly installment payments due until
such time the balance is paid in full.
All loans are secured by the unearned insurance premium, and in the
event of a policy cancellation, the return premium is sent to IPFS by the
agency, and would be applied to any outstanding balance, which in many cases,
is sufficient to pay the balance in full.
Any questions that the Insured may have regarding the cancellation of
the financed policy(ies) or the calculation of the returned premiums should be
directed to the insurance agent of record.

It is unfortunate that the Insured is having issues with
**********, but we are not able to assist with the cancellation dates or the
calculation of the returned premium as we only provided the financing.   If you or the Insured have further questions
about the cancellation or policies, we suggest contacting Coverwhale.

Kind
Regards,

On 17 Aug 2022, we initiated a financing contract with Imperial PFS. Finance contact started 1 Sept 2022. We cancelled the contact 22 Sept 2022 because we added an additional tractor trailer to our inventory and imperial quoted an extra $20,000 to add this vehicle to the existing contract which which cost prohibitive. Though we paid a $1100 down payment for the financing package we had to cancel. Because imperial did not receive all the refunds back from the money that they sent out until 1 November 2022, Imperial is charging us all of the $1100 deposit, plus late fees, and 18.5% interest as if we had executed the entire contract and are stating stating that we owe them an additional $325. We do not agree that we owe them any additional money, especially since they kept the initial down payment. Imperial PFS is executing predatory lending practices.
Business Response
Date: 12/30/2022
We are writing in response to the complaint filed with the BBB of
Greater Kansas City, and upon review of the concerns included in the complaint
by *** *********, there appears to be some confusion about the role of Imperial
PFS in the referenced transaction. It is
important to note that IPFS Corporation (“IPFS”) is a licensed premium finance
company and provides insurance premium financing for borrowers/insureds. IPFS is not an insurance company, does not
provide insurance coverage of any sort, and does not calculate or process
return premiums due as a result of any cancellation.

*** ********* indicated that IPFS quoted an additional $20,000 to
add a vehicle to their contract. She
also indicated that IPFS kept the initial down payment. IPFS does not quote insurance premium costs,
and any down payment made to purchase an insurance product is sent by the
insurance agent to the Insurance Carrier for the policy premium.

On August
17, 2022, IPFS received a Premium Financing Agreement (“PFA”) to finance an auto
liability insurance policy from *** ******* ********* ***** *** signed by
insured. The premiums of the policy totaled $7,070.93 with a down payment of $1,060.64,
resulting in an amount financed of $6,010.29 with ten payments in the amount of
$475.01 to begin October 1, 2022. Upon
receipt of the completed PFA, IPFS sent the loan funding ($6,010.29) to the General
Agent. The insured would have given the
down payment to their agent to forward to the General Agent. The $6,010.29 was the amount of the loan IPFS
funded for the insured to pay the remaining amount of the premium pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the PFA. A
Notice of Acceptance and Assignment was sent to the insured on August 18, 2022
explaining the payment terms of the loan. The PFA discloses to the borrower the terms of
the transaction to include late fee provisions and any finance charge
adjustments in the event of an early pay off, but the loan continues to accrue
interest until the loan if paid in full. The cancellation of an insurance
policy does not cancel the obligations of the borrower on the terms of the loan
until such loan is paid in full.

IPFS sent
a Notice of Cancellation to the General Agent upon nonpayment of the first
installment. It was at this time that
the General Agent advised that the insured had cancelled the policy and the
return premium was forthcoming. The
return premiums were received on November 3rd ($2,122.02), 29th ($3,307.84) and November 30th ($714.85). While this covered the amount financed on the
loan, pursuant to the PFA finance charges would accrue on the outstanding
balance from the time of the loan on August 18th until paid in full. As the insured is located in North
Carolina, premium finance statutes require that IPFS adjust the finance charges
in accordance with the Rule of 78s in the event of an early pay off.
Even
though the terms and conditions of the PFA have not been satisfied, as a
courtesy to the insured, IPFS will waive the remaining balance owed and resolve
this issue.
We trust
this information satisfactorily addresses the notices the insured has received
and resolves her concerns.

On 12-6-22 I emailed **************** and asked for help with regard to what I believe to be over billing. With zero response from them until today 12-15-22 I received a cancellation of my policy. Ever since I signed up it seems as though I keep getting charged fees on top of what I was quoted. I paid my invoice with the additional fees so there was no lapse in coverage but I still want to get help with the billing so we can straighten this out.
