Advantage/Protective
Cancelled extended car warranty and was charged about 1/3 of total cost, though policy never used

In Aug I bought a new 2006 HHR at Century III Chevrolet. I also purchased an extended warranty from Advantage Plus - PO Box 2970 - Kennesaw, GA 30156
(address on Customer Service Receipt). I received a Customer Service Receipt and was told that all information about the policy would be mailed to me. It was.

Long story short. I traded in the HHR in May with 18,500 miles on it. I never used the 'Advantage extended warranty'. I faxed Century III the odometer reading
from the HHR to start the cancellation process. I called Century III and asked how much I would be penalized because of the cancellation. She did not know and gave me the number to call Advantage.

I called them and was told that approximately $500.00 would be deducted from the total of $1561.00 that I paid. This folks is a true RIPOFF! I told the finance person at the dealership what I being charged, and he couldn't believe it. He said that most extended warranty companies charge $50.00, or maybe a $100.00 at most.

I read in the policy book about policy cancellation (which you can't read until 3 weeks after buying the car), and it is very vague. No numbers are given. It states that mileage and months are the determining factor. Ripoff!
