Appliances such as refrigerators or washing machines are expensive to buy and expensive to fix. People will purchase warranties from the manufacturer to protect their wallets from repair expenses. When one of those appliances breaks down, the warranty ought to cover most, if not all, of the repairs. It does not always happen.
Some manufacturers are not willing to follow the terms of the warranty, while others provide horrible customer service. Group legal plans cover a range of services, but not all of them are going to help with warranty disputes. Countrywide Pre-Paid legal services include help with warranties as a benefit for group legal plan members.
Applying Consumer Strategy
A national network of attorneys gives Countrywide service. These legal professionals understand problems that may arise with enforcement of a warranty, and they are here to help a plan member get precisely what was paid for in purchasing that warranty. It does not always mean a dramatic day in court.
Sometimes, a plan member must use a little strategy to get what is needed. A Countrywide attorney will make some suggestions. Customer service is not always the best when it comes to warranty resolution; the call center worker might be a little stubborn. An example of getting proper action is to complain about service on a consumer board such as Yelp. Companies follow these consumer boards and a carefully worded post of dissatisfaction could get the manufacturer to respond proactively.
Emergencies will not wait, and an individual may have to pay for repairs before the warranty is invoked. A Countrywide lawyer will remind a person to save all repair receipts and present them to the manufacturer. If there’s other information needed to enforce the warranty, our attorney will look at the warranty itself and find out what is required. Warranty help is not the only Countrywide pre-paid legal services benefit.
Consumer Protection
Countrywide attorneys will assist an unhappy group legal plan member with filing a consumer protection complaint. Manufacturers who will not honor their warranty can be in for a very nasty surprise. They do not think that an ordinary consumer will go through the consumer protection process, but a Countrywide plan member can do that. Our attorneys are willing to go one step further.
As a standard pre-paid legal services benefit, Countrywide permits an attorney to make telephone calls and draft letters on letterhead stationery. This communication with a warranty provider can change things drastically. Attitudes change when it is discovered that a lawyer is involved.
