An “insurance contract” works very similarly to a regular insurance policy, such as an auto insurance policy that spreads a certain risk of loss among a group of people. The pool would be composed of all the people insured by the issuer who deposit in the pool to cover those who have losses. Thus, if 30 people buy the same extended warranty from a single issuer, the issuer would have to consolidate the money of those 30 people into a trust. This trust would pay anyone who has suffered a loss. Theoretically, individual claims (losses) would never exceed the sum of mutual funds. In this case, the insurance company is responsible for the deductible (insurance companies are usually required to file a deposit or convince the insurance service that they can meet all expected obligations of this type). This “risk-sharing” approach, along with the state`s review of the financial situation of insurance companies, is designed to ensure that money is available to pay consumer claims under the service contract or the extended guarantee of the “insurance contract”. In addition to licensing and bonding requirements, RSA 407-A requires any person or company issuing an extended service contract to file a copy with the New Hampshire Department of Insurance.

Received a warranty expiration notification from Motor Vehicle Services They sent me a notification to call me and ask me for information about the car, their warranty.

I called them about my current warranty and thought it was the service company I had bought my car and service. I was taken for my credit car information!?!! They sold fake warranties that we don`t even need. I called my car company and confirmed that it was a scam!! Immediately continued and called back to cancel my contract, the person was not willing to listen to my cancellation request. Instead, he asked me why you called us first-hand in the first place?

For example, if you get a one-year manufacturer`s warranty and buy a three-year service contract, the first year overlaps, so you`re essentially only paying for a two-year contract. So, are warranties and service contracts worth it? That depends.
