Yes, if your account has been open with us for at least 12 months. We will need to give you an authorization letter to show when crossing the border back into the US.

You will also need to provide an address where the vehicle will be located while in Mexico, and two telephone numbers we can contact you at while in Mexico. We will also need to see a current copy of your driver license, and your CIG Financial account must be current while you are in Mexico.

The contract you signed requires you to maintain physical damage insurance on the vehicle at all times, including comprehensive and collision insurance. Your state may also have laws that require you to maintain liability insurance, too.

You or your agent can send proof of insurance to Allied at PO Box 20001 Carmel, IN 46082 or by going to myinsuranceinfo.com (click here for instructions).

Report the accident to your insurance company first, then call us at 877-244-4442 to report the accident. If the vehicle is a total loss, we will work with your insurance adjuster to process the insurance claim. You will need to continue making your payments during the claims process. If the vehicle is repairable, we will need to sign off on the repair check your insurance company issues for the repairs. We’ll endorse the check when you show us proof that the repairs have been completed.

You should endorse the check and send it to us at CIG Financial, PO BOX 19795, Irvine, CA 92623. Send it with proof that the repairs on your vehicle have been completed. Proof of repairs can be a statement from the repair shop, or photos of the repaired vehicle.

The best place to start a change of registration is with the DMV or Motor Vehicle department of your new state. They will tell you what forms and documents you need to provide, and they will also ask us to send them the title to your vehicle so it can be transferred over to the new state. We can’t send you the title directly, and we can’t send it to them until they ask us for it, so you need to start the transfer by visiting your new DMV. Give them our address to request the title: CIG Financial, PO BOX 19795, Irvine, CA 92623.

Please send us a copy of the marriage certificate, divorce order, or court order, and we’ll update our records to show your changed name.

You need to submit your dispute to the credit reporting agencies, not to us. The agencies will then notify us of your dispute, and we will investigate it.

This is the contact information for the credit bureaus:

We generally release the title on a paid in full account within 10 business days of the payoff date. The title will be sent to the person/address indicated with the payoff funds we received. If the title to your vehicle was an electronic title, we may only release our lien and the title remains electronic, but in your name alone. Check with your state DMV on electronic title releases to learn how your state handles the release of electronic titles, or refer to the table below.

• Arizona―an electronic notification from CIG Financial is sent to the state. Once received, the lien information is removed from the title record. A free and clear paper title is printed in the registered owner’s name and forwarded to the appropriate recipient/address.
• California and Massachusetts―an electronic notification from CIG Financial is sent to the state. Once received, the lien information is removed from the title record. A free and clear paper title is printed in the registered owner’s name and forwarded to the appropriate recipient/address. IMPORTANT NOTE―if the title is being sent to the registered owner, California and Massachusetts will send the title to the address listed on the current vehicle registration. If you have moved within the state and did not update your address, your title will be sent to the most recent address the state has recorded for you.
• Florida, Ohio and Texas―an electronic notification from CIG Financial is sent to the state. All Florida, Ohio and Texas titles remain an electronic record unless a paper title is specifically requested by you. If your loan is paid in full, you may request your paper title through the appropriate DMV website or by visiting a local tag office. State fees for a paper title will apply.
• New York―New York is the only ELT state that holds an electronic lien but issues a paper title and forwards the paper title to the registered owner. In addition to CIG Financial sending an electronic transmission notifying the state of a satisfied lien, a release of lien must also be attached to the title. CIG Financial will create and forward a release of lien document upon satisfaction of the lien.
• Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin―an electronic notification from CIG Financial is sent to the state. Once received, the lien information is removed from the title record. A free and clear paper title is printed in the registered owner’s name and forwarded to the appropriate recipient/address.
