Comments
If you DID authorize the charges, but they misrepresented the terms of the warranty contract, did not send the contract terms until later, claimed you could cancel on reviewing the terms but are failing to honor your cancellation, then also dispute the charges as fraudulent with your bank, and also file complaints with your local District Attorney consumer protection unit, your state AG, and FTC, due to fraud.
In addition, contact the offices of Senator Charles Schumer, since he has called on FTC to investigate widespread fraud and illegal telemarketing in the "auto warranty" industry.
"Judge blocks ‘robo-calls’ selling car warranties
‘These calls are annoying, but worse, many Americans have been fleeced’
updated 10 minutes ago
CHICAGO - A federal judge has issued two temporary restraining orders designed to stop what officials describe as a wave of deceptive “robo-calls” warning people their auto warranties are expiring and offering to sell them new service plans.
“Today the FTC has disconnected the people responsible for so many of these annoying calls,” Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jon Leibowitz said Friday.
“We expect to see a dramatic decrease in the number of deceptive auto warranty calls, but we are still on high alert,” Leibowitz said in a statement posted on the agency’s Web site.
The FTC filed suit against two companies and their executives on Thursday, asking a federal court in Chicago to halt a wave of as many as 1 billion automated, random, prerecorded calls and freeze the assets of the companies.
Officials say the calls have targeted consumers regardless of whether they have warranties or even own cars and ignore the Do Not Call registry. They say telemarketers have misrepresented service agreements consumers have to buy for warranties that come with the price of the car.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. had asked for an FTC investigation into what he described as the scam of “robo-dialer harassment.”
“These calls are annoying, but worse, many Americans have been fleeced,” he said.
U.S. District Judge John F. Grady issued the temporary restraining order against Transcontinental Warranty Inc. on Thursday and Voice Touch Inc. on Friday.
Grady’s orders also applied to Transcontinental CEO and President Christopher Cowart, Voice Touch executives James and Maureen Dunne, Voice Touch business partner Network Foundations LLC and Network Foundations executive Damian Kohlfeld.
Attorneys for those affected by the orders were not reached immediately Friday afternoon. Messages were left for the attorneys for Transcontinental, Voice Touch and Network Foundations, as well as Kohlfeld.
Besides ordering a halt to the automatic telephone sales calls, Grady’s order froze the assets of the two companies. The FTC alleged in its complaints that the calls were part of a deceptive scheme and asked the court to assure the assets will not be lost in case they might be needed to repay consumers who have been victimized.
The temporary restraining orders are to remain in effect until May 29, when Grady scheduled a hearing on the FTC’s request for a preliminary injunction.
