Review from Charline H

I had an extremely frustrating experience with TitleMax after my vehicle was repossessed. It took TWO WEEKS just to get an appointment to retrieve my personal belongings. When I finally got there, I wasnt allowed to access the vehicle myself or even observe their employees as they removed my ******** make matters worse, some of my belongings were missing, including a brand-new pair of boots and a registered handgun. They also flat-out refused to let me retrieve my dashcam, which wasnt even wired into the dashboard; BUT THAT WAS THEIR EXCUSE TO NOT HAND IT OVER!This level of unprofessionalism and lack of accountability is unacceptable. People trust these companies to act responsibly with their property, but this experience has shown otherwise. My advice: avoid them at all costs if you can. THEY DO NOT VALUE YOUR PROPERTY OR YOUR RIGHTS!IAA Response

Good Morning, **** ******,
Thank you for submitting your claim to IAA Buyer Services.
For the information above you will need to connect with Title Max id this was a vehicle or request through them as we follow certain guidelines.
The branch takes inventory on behalf of the provider and we have a list that can be provided by the branch of the only item located inside the vehicle at the time of arrival. Anything that needs to be removed technology wise will have to be approved and notated by them in our system.
If you are missing a handgun please file a police report as one was not located inside the vehicle at the arrival time.

These fee changes are necessary for IAA to continue delivering a seamless auction experience. Specifically, these costs benefit our Buyers through:

2.Service and technology investments, including the development of integrated payment options to give Buyers more flexibility.
3.Expansion of bidding and buying access for Public Buyers in more states.
4.Real estate investments to provide more accessibility to Buyers and updates to current locations to improve the customer experience.
We provide notices ahead of buying units when the changes will take place and notifications through email and dashboard alerts.
If you still have concerns, please call buyer services at ************

These people are mentally disabled. I have no idea how they can function as a wrecker service when they can't read or speak English enough to enter an address into a gps. Waited for three hours while these idiots literally drove in circles around the given address while saying that they couldn't find it. I even pinned my exact location to their phone. Finally told them to s**** off and got a fully functional adult human to come do the job. But the funniest thing is they get mad at you because they are too stupid to read. Absolute trash company full of trash people.Review from Myron C

I favor this auction over ****** because they do things differently. With that being said, I am very disappointed with how they operate this business with favorable options for different time zones I believe. There were vehicles I was very close to the reserve on and did not receive a counter offer. I don't credit that completely to IAA fully, even though it may be something that they could work on. What disturbs me even further is that when my area, in *******************, I am forced to wait until after 3:30 in the morning for an auction update for a "Buy It Now" vehicle. It's been like this since I've been on their platform for over 5 years and I thought that was just how it was until I started learning a pattern on vehicles that were sold when I was not given the option to buy them due to the statusof the vehicle not yet updated. I've missed many opportunities this way and IAA really needs to update their structure so buying is fair for everyone. I tried calling the corporate number after being on hold for over an hour, I get two different people who did not help or provide answers to the situation. I was placed on hold and hung up on and did not want to waste any more of my day trying to get someone to listen to a serious concern that affects my business. I have even thought about seeking legal counsel and reaching out to the ********************** that regulates these licensing. It is not a fair practice when other buyers are not given the option to purchase vehicles after midnight when it's supposed to be released for everyone. I have dealt with the delay of an hour (8.:30am, which 9:30am my time) with auction starting because of the time zone difference, why can't it be the same for the buyers who look for the vehicles to purchase when it's released in batches soposedly at midnight? My buyer number is ******. I have started collecting evidence to support my claim and I would like to have answers and a solution to this problem. Thank youIAA Response

Good ******************** Thank you for submitting your reaching out to IAA. When a vehicle arrives at our facility, the personal items left in the car are removed and entered into a spreadsheet. Once removed, they are placed in bags with the owner's information. We will pass your comment on to the branch manager, but the branch followed the correct protocol when removing items from the vehicle. Thank you, **** Buyer Service SupervisorReview from James E

I highly recommend all customers to stay away from this company. They are running a "***** We agreed on the price to pick up my car. The driver showed up with no check. I called numerous times to determine the root cause for this substandard customer service. Their agents hung up on me three times after I waited 30 minutes each time.

All stakeholders should be held accountable, the owners, the managers, and staff should not be allowed to run a "***** on their customers without accountability safeguards in place.

If I could give no stars I would. My car was sent here after a accident. They stole a watch, some cologne and a bunch of change from my car. Damaged it in the process of delivering it by breaking and scraping the paint of my front bumper that had no damage. All they will do is pay for a front bumper no paint even though they damaged it. Very unprofessional and incompetent people that can't properly do their job. He acknowledged that they have a issue with people stealing but won't do anything to recover my stolen property.IAA Response

Hot garbage company we were forced to use with *********. I will be complaining to statefarm as well to have them pick literally anyone ******** a call 15 minutes before pick up on the wrong day, the day we specifically said would not work. We had scheduled for a different day SPECIFICALLY. We finally got them to show up today instead. And they don't give ANY warning, despite being told we would get at least 15 mins of warning today (even though it was initially agreed we'd have an hour before having to complain to them they got the day wrong). Their tow guy INSISTED on parking in the bicycle lane which is a hazard to both us AND bicyclists rather than going in the alleyway where we had agreed to meet initially. Could have gone to one of the adjacent streets that had much less traffic, but dude insisted on parking like a inconsiderate jerk instead.IAA Response
