      On August 1, 2024, I purchased a SecureDrive extended warranty contract from LGM Financial Services via *************. The contract defines a "Pro Rata Refund" clause in Schedule F that allows cancellation and partial refund of the unused term, minus a $100 admin ****** May and June 2025, I emailed LGM to cancel under this clause. I made no claims and accepted the admin fee. However, they denied the request, citing only a 30-day limit from another section (Section 8) and refused to acknowledge the refund definition elsewhere in the same contract.I believe this is misleading and violates my contract. Im seeking a prorated refund based on the unused term.I request that **** investigate this matter and ensure that LGM honors the full refund provisions defined in their own agreement, especially the Pro Rata Refund clause in Schedule F, and processes my refund of approximately $2,047.

      Complaint: 23432051

      Thank you for the update. I have reviewed the response from LGM Financial Services, and I am not satisfied.

      My complaint was not about misunderstanding the 30-day cancellation rule in the contract, but rather about misleading communication regarding prorated refunds. The phrase prorated refund was used in their correspondence, yet I was later told that no refund would be issued after 30 days, regardless of the time left on the policy.
      This contradiction was never addressed in their response. Simply repeating please refer to the contract is insufficient and avoids the real issue.
      I respectfully ask that the business provide a clear explanation of why the term prorated refund was used if no prorated refund was ever possible or alternatively, offer a partial refund or acknowledgment of the poor communication.
      I would appreciate BBBs continued assistance in helping resolve this matter fairly.

      Sincerely,

      Thank you for the message.
      I do not consider this response satisfactory, as it does not address the specific issues I raised.
      The business has not explained why they are refusing the prorated refund explicitly outlined in Schedule F of the signed agreement, nor have they provided a clear resolution.
      This matter remains unresolved.
      I request that BBB keep the complaint open.

      ****** care Warranty approved but company is not agreeing to pay the total cost of repairs, even with repair shop (within a manufacturers dealership) and private adjuster hired by the warranty company confirming that the current market value in **************** supercedes the blue book value. This has been an ongoing battle with this warranty company since March 1st and the company has taken weeks at a time to make requests, and to review and respond, only JUST reached an approval today roughly 3m after initial application, and are now saying they will only cover partial (just over half) of the total repair costs, leaving me with the only options of paying a 30k vehicle loan on an undriveable vehicle, or to pay between 10 and 20 thousand dollars or more out of my own pocket for the investigations, the rental vehicle, and the remainder of the repairs - which I am without means to pay. In BC the market value is MUCH higher than the blue book value that even **** will account for, and the amount this company is willing to pay towards repairs is unreasonably low for the circumstances. The investigations have proven that there is no fault of mine, and the warranty company has confirmed that the coverage is approved and repairs are approved, it is just the total dollar amount of the approval that I'd like to appeal/adjust to be more realistic, and for the warranty to cover the total of the costs incurred, not just the most depreciated average value of the make/model.Also this make/model of vehicle has NO options for used/cheaper options for repairs due to it having rare or hard to find or backordered parts, this does not seem to be considered or reflected by the warranty company that is only willing to pay based on the blue book value. Please feel free to request any information that might help give additional insight on or resolve this matter, I have so far only uploaded the policy and added the policy number to the file to get things started.

      I purchased a Land Rover Vehicle Protection Plan (Policy #*******) through LGM Financial Services. My policy was wrongfully canceled on January 21, 2024, due to a failed payment attempt. The missed payment was caused by my credit card expiring, though the card number remained the same. *** did not provide me with adequate notice or an opportunity to rectify the issue before terminating my policy.When I discovered the cancellation through my dealership, I immediately contacted *** on December 30, 2024, to update my payment information and request reinstatement, including covering any missed payments. *** refused my request. Their cancellation process lacked reasonable notice, as industry best practices typically include multiple forms of communication (e.g., phone or mail) to ensure customers can resolve payment issues before coverage is terminated.*** claims they sent a Notice of Intent to Cancel via email, but I never received it. I requested proof of delivery, and they only provided a screenshot of their outbox, which does not confirm successful delivery. As a result, I was unaware of the cancellation and denied the chance to remedy the issue.Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue:December 30, 2024 Contacted *** to request reinstatement after learning about the cancellation. Request denied.Submitted a formal complaint to ************************** They upheld the denial.Filed complaints with Consumer Protection Ontario and ***** ************* stated they could not assist in this matter.

      I had to put over $3000.00 in repairs under warranty on my VW Atlas despite its younger age and had to choose between paying my property taxes or driving to work. I still have not received the cheque despite them sending it twice. My property taxes are in arrears now and are still gathering interest. *** has not responded to my emails and now I am requesting that they covers my interest owing in the form of damages or pay-out the full cost of repairs or settle my property taxes account.

      I purchased an extended car warranty from LGM Financial Services. I subsequently submitted a claim which was approved on October 9th, 2024 in the amount of $5973.00. I was given a timeframe of 3-5 weeks to recieve a cheque in the full amount. Given this time-frame, I should have received the cheque between October 30th and November 13th. I did not received a cheque before November 13th. I called them and they said the cheque should be here anyday. This was before the CanadaPost strike. The CanadaPost strike started on November 15th. I emailed them several times asking them to do a direct deposit into my account. No response. I called them around November 20th to see if they'd received any of my emails. They had, but they just didn't respond. They said that the full amount would be deposited into my **** account on November 29th, 2024. Full amount was not deposited into my account on November 29th, 2024.

      I was forced into paying for "extra protection premium" from LGM on July 3, 2021 when I bought a used **** After 6 months, I sold the *** and bought a brand new ****** At no time was I directed to pay for extra insurance for my ****** I forgot to tell LGM I no longer required their insurance until a year after I bought my ***** when I was looking into my finances to find out why I kept incurring NSF fees from my bank and why I didn't have money in my account. When I contacted them, both through email and phone calling, I was told I had to keep paying for it, even though I no longer had the vehicle or needed this because it was put on a no interest deferred payment plan. I even tried to change my vehicle with them, but they refused, telling me if I refused to pay then they would send me to collections. Not only have they been extremely belligerent trying to cancel this policy when it is useless to me, but they never take out the money on the day they say they will and when they do take it out, quite often the money is not available and I incur even more NSF fees from both my bank and LGM. If my entire loan from the *** was paid out when I bought my *****, then this should have been included.
