Dear *** ***,
I received *** ***'s response to our offer. The attachment she had was a real estate contract and not the costs of her repair. However this will not change our position in this matter. The claim has been and remains denied and the offer of $2,is what we would have paid had there been coverage. This is our only offer. Also please note that there is a claim limit of $2,in her contract. Be that as it may, the original offer of $2,007.98 is still being offered through your agency to see if this can be resolved. If this is not acceptable to *** *** there is nothing further we can do in this matter Gale ** M***

Complaint: ***
Unfortunately, Penn makes a claim upon information that does
not existIn their response, they cite a contract for the protection plan
Attached are the only three documents provided when the agreement was entered
intoThe first is showing the cost of the protection plan listed on the
vehicle purchase contractThe second and third are the brochure that was
stapled to the purchase contract upon purchase
Any additional terms that Penn wants to add after the fact
would need to be reviewed and agreed upon by both partiesNo additional terms
were supplied nor agreed upon by both parties
The information provided at the time of purchase shows
clearly that the power steering pump and other items are includedIn addition,
the suspension information was presented to Penn by the dealership on the same
date they were presented with the “cam adjuster” claim which they note they
paid (they chose to pay the cheaper of the repairs)Wanting me to go through
the entire process again over the suspension is a clear stall tacticThey will
need to review this and honor the protection plan that was purchased
At this point, I am still hoping to receive a satisfactory answer
from the company that they will honor the protection plan I purchasedHoping
to keep this out of court as well as off websites such as *** and
other consumer complain websites

Dear *** ***, In reply to *** ***'s rejection our position remains the same as stated earlier The struts are not covered parts under the terms of the contract agreement As to any refund the contract under VGeneral Provisions number 7., specifically states a percent refund of the Service Contract will be made less any claims paid within days of the Service Contract Purchase Date The service contract was purchase on July 25, thus exceeding the allotted days of provision Vand denying a refund The procedure of requesting a refund within the days is specifically stated in Provision number “To cancel, You must submit a written request and return the Service Contract to the Administrator.” This was not done within the first days and therefore no refund would be grantedThere are no general provisions providing a pro rated refund in the contract agreement Further any refund that may have been granted would have been paid to the lien holder, *** as stated in the contract agreement.
