National Dealers Warranty FINAL NOTICE letters are sent to unsuspecting consumers with their Customer ID #s to make people believe they already have a 5-year, 100,000 mile extended warranty on their cars. Victims are led to believe that they are getting an employee discount price if they renew within 48 hours. The letter goes on to state there's no credit check required and 0.0% financing is guaranteed for any warranty activated immediately. The letter also states that claims are paid directly to the repair shops and therefore customers won't have to worry about reimbursements. Whoever is behind this company, has purchased leads with full names and addresses. The San Diego letter copy UCAN received is signed by a John Walters--someone no one will ever find. UCAN found a lot of Internet site complaints about this company's deceptive practices and found that the Better Business Bureau (BBB) had nothing kind to report about the company. Another name for the company is United Warranty Wholesalers.
For example, http://stlouis.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=142&bbb=0734&firm=310030296 [1] depicts the BBB's view of the company's reputation. In addition, this BBB report states: "on March 6, 2008, the Missouri Attorney General filed suit in St. Charles County Circuit Court against National Dealer Warranties for sending consumers postcards and letters informing them that they had limited time to purchase renewed, extended warranties for their vehicles. The Attorney General claimed the company neglected to inform consumers that it was not affiliated with the dealer or manufacturer of the vehicle, or that it was offering to sell motor vehicle extended service contracts instead of warranties. The suit is pending."
