GAP Insurance Sold by Dealer Denied by Lender After Vehicle Loss Event
Consumers who purchase GAP insurance at the dealership as part of financing documentation find the claim denied by the lender after a loss event, with the denial citing no coverage despite consumer documentation of purchase. The disconnect between dealer-sold products and lender claim processing creates a gap where the consumer paid for protection that does not function. This is a systemic coordination failure between auto dealers and finance companies.
