Info on Warranty Activation Headquarters

A few months ago I received in the mail an ad from Warranty Activation Headquarters. They claimed that I was pre-selected for a special offer for an extended vehicle warranty policy. So I did some searching to see what kind of history this company has.

First, I found them mentioned on Rip-Off Report. A lady told how she had paid $1870 for a policy and when she had a problem with her car's horn, they refused to cover it. An employee for this company added a rebuttal to her charge describing why the problem with her horn is not covered. Perhaps this bad publicity made the company think twice. The lady followed up with another two posts saying that the company finally agreed to pay for the repair.

Next, I went looking for the Better Business Bureau of Eastern Missouri and found a long page describing Warranty Activation Headquarters. It doesn't look too good. At the time of this post, the company's membership has been suspended for non-compliance with the Bureau's membership standards. This BBB does a good job at giving details of the 158 complaints that have been processed over the last 36 months. The BBB mentions that "some of the complaints were resolved. However, for other complaints, the consumer remains dissatisfied despite the company's reasonable effort to resolve the complaints."

A new or used car extended warranty for your auto, truck or SUV is most likely the right option for you. A new or used car warranty for your new or used vehicle can be a major expense. It is hard to imagine what condition you will be in financially when something does happen to your vehicle. It is vital that you stay up-to-date and informed on any policy changes to your car extended warranty.

In reading your post where you found something on Rip-Off Reports, I had no idea this was going on! How terrible to be scammed in this way when you are just trying to protect yourself and your automobile.

Hopefully with sites like yours, people will become more aware and better educated.

Thanks again,
Tammy!

The thing with Rip-Off Reports seems to be the lack of means to verify the claims filed by alleged victims, thereby words remain as allegations without concrete proof. Like many offers, the lady should have checked extended auto warranty reviews prior to getting one.
