6-9-23 $302.10 Diamond Coverage I paid for a mobile repair service on my camper and filed a claim with Revolos due to my issue being afterhours. This is a legitimate claim and they denied it. I have the ************ and this is unacceptable that they denied the claimBusiness Response

Interstate National Dealer Services dba Revolos ("INDS") has received your July 19, 2023, email and letter and forwarded them to me for review and response. INDS administers the NorthStar RV ******************************** ********* contract") that ****************************************** purchased from Unlimited RV on November 17, 2022. We hope you find the following information helpful.
Our records show that ******************** filed a claim for No Prior Authorization, which was submitted to the claims department on June 16, 2023, and reviewed for reimbursement consideration.
When the claims team reviewed the documents received, they noted missing information on the invoice received. The invoice was handwritten with a company name, phone number, and contact name. The invoice must have a complete address to verify if this is a licensed business.
Undersection 6. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE, subsection 2. States, "If Your Unit breaks down, return to the Issuing Dealer during normal service department hours. If this is not possible, take Your Unit to the licensed repair facility of Your choice (You may contact the Administrator for assistance in locating a repair facility)." Under Section 3. BENEFITS, subsection REIMBURSEMENT, states, "Reimbursement will only be considered when properly licensed and insured providers provide a covered service; private citizen services are not reimbursable."
When the claims team searched for the company using the phone number, there were two listings for the same number. They could not reach anyone at the phone number provided to verify a business license for the repair shop.
Yesterday, July 26, 2023, the claims team made a final attempt and reached Mobile RV Repair and secured the needed business license to validate the invoice.
The invoice indicates that the service call was for the outdoor hose portion on the back of the camper was broken and leaking. The broken hose connector was not repaired or replaced, only plugged to prevent leakage. As this is not a repair as defined in the service contract, this portion of the claim would not be covered. Section 5. TERMS & CONDITIONS, subsection 2 states, "FAILURE OF COVERED PARTS: We will pay on behalf of or reimburse You for the reasonable costs to repair or replace any of the parts included in Your Coverage which cause a Failure."
Since the claims team validated Mobile RV Repair's business license, we will reimburse ******************** for the service call and thermostat repair with tax. A check can be sent to ******************** for $136.83. We ask if ******************** could confirm his mailing address. He may send that information to **************************** or by calling the claims team. Once we get this information, a check will be issued.
As stated above, the temporary solution for the broken hose portion would not be covered as no repair was performed, and we cannot reimburse that fee.

I am rejecting this response because:This was a part failure and just because the after hours repair tech didn't phrase the invoice correctly, the warranty company is refusing to reimburse me $302 I spent on a bad / defective part of the water line / connection that did fail. The mobile technician did not have the part to replace it with, so in order to get our water working and usable for the weekend, he had to plug it! There was no way to "call and get pre approval" as it was 9pm on a Friday night. This company has a long history of denying claims for people who paid for their service / protection (as you can see from the many BBB reviews).
Sincerely,

There has been no information provided that would alter our decision. The $136.83 paid was for the actual repair of the heater issue. The broken connector fitting has not been repaired and cannot be reimbursed since no repairs to this component were performed.

I get 3-5 phone calls a day from this company even though I'm on the *** Do Not Call List. They have a disregard for the legal structure of this country as they harass myself, my family, my friends and coworkers daily.Business Response

Interstate National Dealer Services d/b/a Revolos ("Revolos") received your June 13, 2023, email and forwarded it to me for review and response. We hope you find the information helpful.
In Mr. ************************* complaint, he alleges that he receives 3-5 calls a day, even though he is on the ************************'s Do Not Call list. Please be advised that Revolos is not the source of these calls. Revolos administers vehicle service contracts and does not market or sell these products directly to consumers.
Over these past several years, Revolos has been aware of competing businesses or telemarketers not affiliated with Revolos who have been soliciting consumers and identifying themselves as "National Dealer Services," "Dealer Services," and other similar, generic names. Due to the companies' use of these names, when consumers attempt to identify the company, for example, by doing an internet search for "National Dealer Services," Revolos is mistakenly identified as the source of the calls. In some instances, Revolos has been advised that these telemarketers will go so far as to provide our website with information if the call's legitimacy is questioned.
Revolos has been diligently trying to identify the specific entity or entities behind these calls. However, because these callers disguise their identity by utilizing spoofed or obscured phone numbers, locating, and identifying them has proven extremely difficult. Our efforts to identify these telemarketers are ongoing. In addition, through outside counsel, Revolos has notified multiple government entities of these calls, including the ************************ and the Attorneys General of all fifty states.
By pointing out the foregoing, Revolos and its affiliates do not waive, but specifically reserve, any and all rights and defenses they may have under the service contract and the applicable law.Initial Complaint

I purchased an extended warranty for my auto when I refinanced. My mechanic provided me with a computerized estimate with detailed part numbers, etc. for the work required on my car. He needed to submit the required work for approval to Interstate National Dealer Services (INDS). I needed new struts. INDS rejected the claim; they stated that the required part number was called a Shock Absorber by the manufacturer, and the warranty does not cover Shock Absorbers. After much back and forth with my mechanic and a detailed explanation, I looked up the part number online. In fact, some listings refer to this part number as: Acura 51621-TX4-A12 Shock Absorber ************ Part Description: Shock Absorber Unit, Left Front ; Strut, some other online parts warehouses refer to the *** parts simply as "strut."Additionally, the shock absorber and the strut are part of the same assembly, meaning, it is a combo part. You cannot purchase one without the other. As a consumer, it is reasonable that if 'struts' are listed in the policy coverage in my contract, I would expect this part to be a covered expense. It is not within my control how manufacturers/*** and parts distributors define and describe the actual part. In fact, according to Acura Parts online they describe it as BOTH shock absorber and strut. (*****************************************************************************************)INDS contractual agreement should have provided more clarity as well as explicitly stated the circumstances in exactly how a combo part would be handled/covered. However, in their contract, it explicitly states that *****S are a covered expense. If the ***** is part of the shock absorber assembly, the this should be covered by the warranty. I paid over $3,000 to have this extended warranty coverage and I am unable to get INDS to cover it, rendering the policy useless. I'd like INDS to cover this work as part of their warranty agreement. I have not had the work completed.Business Response

Interstate National Dealer Services dba Revolos ("INDS") has received your May 15, 2023, email and letter and forwarded them to me for review and response. INDS administers the Assure ******************************* ********* contract") that *********************** purchased on June 3, 2020, from Auto Approve, LLC. We hope you find the following information helpful.
We have reviewed the file and found that the claim has been adjudicated appropriately based on the terms and conditions of the service contract. The repair facility called the claims department on May 5, 2023, to report that a left front strut had failed, and they provided the part number. Acura, the manufacturer, confirmed that the part number and description are a left front shock assembly and not a strut.
Although a "coil-over shock" and strut look similar, they do not have the same functions, nor are they the same part. A strut replaces the need for an upper control arm; it attaches the vehicle body to the steering knuckle, and a vehicle's front-end wheel alignment can be adjusted from the strut; a shock has none of these capabilities.
Under the EXCLUSIONS section of the service contract, it states that "For all coverage levels, this *************** Contract Provides NO Coverage or Benefits for the following: Section A, THE FOLLOWING PARTS: CARBURETOR; BATTERY; BATTERY/BATTER PACK ON ELECTRIC OR HYBRID VEHICLES; SHOCK ABSORBERS."

I had 5 oil consumption tests **** miles driven for each test car burned 2 to 2.5 quarts of oil after each test . ******* is replacing engines that are still under their warranty interstate will not replace engine unless I produce 6 years of maintenance receipts and agree to a tear down of engine. If they decide to agree to their terms I would be responsible for cost of tear down if they decide the engine was abused pretty much leaving me with no option to junk car as I could not pay the **** to replace engine.the mechanic at ******* advised me to just trade it in and get new car which i really dont want to do as I still have 2 payments left on 72 month loan and pretty much every dealership in wny is aware of 2.4 engine defects which would lower trade in value (there were several boxes of new engines lining wall of service area which mechanic pointed out to me as 2.4 engines as replacements for cars still under their warranty) all I really want is the warranty company or ******* dealership to stand by their service or product in *******s case to make things right and fix my engineBusiness Response

Interstate National Dealer Services dba Revolos ("INDS") has received your February 23, 2023, email and letter and forwarded them to me for review and response. INDS administers the ********************************* ********* contract") that Mr. ************************* purchased on April 13, 2017, from **************** dba *************. We hope you find the following information helpful.
Coverage is not automatic just because a claim has been filed. Certain conditions must be met for a claim to be covered, and there are also coverage exclusions. We have reviewed the file and found the claim has not been denied but is waiting for ************** to authorize a teardown of the engine so that the cause of failure and the extent of damage can be found.
In his complaint, ************** questions needing maintenance records and authorizing a teardown. The requirement to produce maintenance records can be found under the ***** AND CONDITIONS section of the service contract, and subsection 7., states, in bold type, that "VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS: You must maintain Your Vehicle according to the manufacturer's recommendations as outlined in the owner's manual. Your owner's manual has separate required maintenance schedules for "normal" and "more severe" operating conditions. You are required to follow the maintenance schedule that applies to Your Vehicle's conditions. You must be sure only the proper grade of lubricants and coolants, as recommended by the manufacturer, is used in Your Vehicle. It is necessary for You to retain verifiable receipts for all parts and materials necessary to perform the required maintenance. If necessary, this documentation will be verified by the Administrator."
Failures due to lack of maintenance are excluded from coverage under the EXCLUSIONS section of the service contract. Also excluded from coverage are failures due to the continued operation of the vehicle in a failed state, lack of lubrication, or overheating regardless of the cause. We would need a teardown to assess the damage's cause and extent to determine if a coverable failure has occurred. It is the responsibility of the contract holder to authorize the teardown.
Under the section of WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE, subsection 4. states, "In some cases, You may be required to authorize the repair facility to inspect or tear down Your Vehicle to determine the cause and cost of the repair. You will be responsible for these charges if the Failure is not covered by this Contract. We reserve the right to require an inspection of Your Vehicle prior to any repair being performed. We reserve the right to move Your covered Vehicle to another repair facility."

We hope you find the following information helpful.
The service contract is not a warranty, nor is it insurance. The service contract lists what is covered and what is excluded from coverage, and there are coverage limitations.
We have reviewed the claim and have determined that the claim was adjudicated correctly. According to the file,********************** ('repair facility") initiated a claim on December 5, 2022, stating that the transmission (CVT) needed to be replaced. As **************** mentioned in her complaint, a third-party inspection firm inspected the vehicle, and the inspection report verified the failures, fault codes, and test drive. The failure warrants the transmission replacement, and the repair facility estimated the cost would be approximately $4,300.00.
By signing the contract, **************** acknowledged that "(11). I have read and understand the Limit of Liability as defined in Item 4. Terms and Conditions". Item 4 states that "LIMIT OF LIABILITY a) The Maximum limit of liability per loss shall be equal to the actual cash value of the Vehicle at the time of Failure.
b) The Aggregate limit of liability for each Service Contract shall not exceed the purchase price of the Vehicle.
The National Automotive Dealers Association ******** value was determined to be $2,912.00. On December 8, 2022, the claim was authorized per the terms and conditions at the limit of liability mentioned above.

When I purchased the warranty, the ****** dealership did not inform me that there would be a limit of liability. I was told that, if the transmission or engine went out, it would be fully covered.

June 21, 2021 purchased an extended warranty for a 2011 Jeep Wrangler for $1992. Three weeks ago the drive train comes off while driving. The combination of of Primary and Custom sections of the warranty state clearly the transfer unit (4x4) internal parts including bearings, bushings, sprocket, chains, sleeves and gears. Transfer case is also covered. Plus Dive axles, all internal parts. However, they told me and the autoshop, "BOLTS" are not specifically not covered and because the bolts failed, they will not cover the repair. I asked for a refund and was told I had to cancel through the dealership. I know once I cancel anywhere, they will then claim I have voided my rights on the warranty. I reminded them there is nothing in there contract preventing a refund and they refused and said I have to go through the dealership. How are bolts not part of internal parts? How are they able to accept payments but not issue refunds? I have paid just shy of $2000 and have received nothing in return. My current repair bill is $1300. If i follow their instruction, I will get my prorated amount (which they refused to disclose how they will calculate) 6-8 weeks after they receive and review my cancellation. This company clearly denies claims on the weakest of justifications and keeps all the money and providing no services. That is called robbery. I demand a full refund or authorize the claim, and waive the deductible. Any remedy other than these options indicate this company is a scam.Business Response

Revolos administers the NorthStar Protect XM ************************ ********* contract") that ******************************* purchased on June 10, 2021, from ********************** Dishers. We hope you find the following information helpful.
The service contract lists specific covered components and conditions and parts and events that are excluded from coverage. Coverage is not automatic just because a claim has been filed.
The service contract is a part-inclusive coverage plan. Coverage is explained under section "1. Coverage". It states, "The components listed below, within the coverage level indicated on the Administrator copy of the Declaration Page and your Identification Page, are covered by the Contract. If no coverage level is checked, Primary coverage will apply." The coverage ****************** selected was Custom Coverage.
On October 31, 2022, the repair facility reported that the vehicle had stopped moving. They said the mounting bolts had broken, causing damage to the driveshaft yoke, which is part of the driveline assembly, and neither part is listed for coverage with this contract. The repair facility also found the radiator to be leaking which is also not a listed covered part on this contract.
On November 3, 2022, ****************** called in and spoke with our ************** Senior Leader, and they explained the reason for the denial. At that time, ****************** requested his contract be canceled. He was advised there is a process for requesting cancellation within the contract, and ****************** hung up before the full disclosure could be provided.
To cancel the service contract, ****************** must follow the procedures listed under section 8. Cancellation of the ************************. Attached is the cancellation request form. Per the service contract, we will send the refund to the lienholder if the vehicle is financed.
By pointing out the foregoing, Revolos and its affiliates do not waive, but specifically reserve, any and all rights and defenses they may have under the service contract and the applicable law.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: When I spoke, I requested a refund. I did not request cancellation. I was informed they would not refund. I asked them to point out in the contract where they are prohibited from issuing a refund. They were not able to do so because there is nothing in their contract to prevent them from issuing a refund. I listened to their description of the "refund" policy. According to them, to get a refund, I have to contact the dealership who sold it. Then I have to fill out a cancellation form to cancel the policy. I explained I was not comfortable doing so, as my experience in the past, when a policy is cancelled the company has no obligation or motive to follow through on any action. Because the policy is cancelled. I related this and her response was there was no alternative. I asked if I went through with this, what could I expect. If I cancelled, 6-8 weeks after they receive it, I will get a prorated refund. IF they decide to ***** the refund. I also asked for their formula for calculating the prorated refund amount. Again, I was told it is "proprietary" and they would not disclose. I asked her often they approve a refund and was told she can't disclose. I asked her how does a fraction of a refund 3-4 months from now help me get my car repaired now? She didn't respond, but instead did repeat the instructions to cancel. To omit these details from their response and to blatantly lie saying I requested a cancellation rather than a refund is clear and reasonable evidence of their deceptive ways and greed driven approach for conducting their business.I hung up on them because their representative was talking over me and raising her voice when repeating over and over my only alternative was to cancel my policy at the dealership. Another relevant and deliberate omission in their response. I would not recommend anyone buy anything this company offers. I am severely disappointed in their service and I feel taken advantage of and borderline robbed. I regret purchasing this policy.

Interstate National Dealer Services dba Revolos ("Revolos") has received your November 11, 2022, follow-up letter and forwarded it to me for review and response. We hope you find the following information helpful.
Although this claim is not covered, the service contract continues to provide significant protection in the event of a mechanical breakdown. In ********************** response, he stated that he did not ask for a cancellation but a refund and that nothing in the contract prevents a refund. If ****************** wants a refund,he must cancel the service contract. If he wishes not to cancel, a refund will not be provided, as they are the same. A refund will void the rest of the contract's terms and conditions.
We have reviewed the notes and found that the information explained to ****************** was correct. The selling dealer is still in business, so we referred ***************** back to them because pursuant to their agreement with Revolos, they are responsible for providing the refund. The terms and conditions of the contract also clearly state how the refund is calculated.
The refund is calculated using a pro-rata amount based on time or mileage,whichever is used most. A cancellation fee of $75.00 and any paid claims are also deducted. The refund will be sent to the lender if the dealer does not have proof that the loan has been paid off.
Again, if ****************** wishes to receive a refund, he must fill out the cancellation form previously provided in our last response.

I am rejecting this response because: I am not satisfied with their explanations. I have not received adequate assurance a refund will be sufficient to pay for my repairs after their pro-ration and now this $75 cancellation fee is applied. They could issue a refund but they refuse to. It is that simple. It is insulting for them to express they do not have the ability to refund transactions. I have no confidence future claims will be honored as they will apply their same shifty and dishonest interpretations to justify denial of claim and service. They are welcome to prove me wrong but until they do, I will always feel this company ripped me off to the tune of nearly $4K, 2K for their useless policy and 1.5K for the out of pocket repairs they won't cover.
Sincerely,
