Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day. Since the repair cost was not at or above 75% of the retail value. It will not be totaled and sent to the scrap yard. You could get a 2nd opinion on the vehicle's repair cost to see if it should have been tottaled. You may need to seek an attorney since the bank is coming after you for money when you had gap insurance. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose

Thank you Moose. Have a blessed day.
