  I purchased a auto warranty with this company and they are not complying with the warranty agreements that was informed to me upon purchase and phone conversations. It appears that every time I or an auto repairman sends an email to Palmer concerning repairs for my car warranty, they reply, it not acceptable within the warranty. They stated to me they would pay for my diagnostic fee, now they are saying they not going to pay for anything. in my opinion they are fake company who preys on the intelligence of the customer to collect funding from them per month with no services rendered. They also keep you on hold on the telephone for minutes running into hours to either disconnect you or give falsified statements about your contract agreement. Something should be done to stop from taking people fundings and not providing the services, leaving them to pay out of pocket for the billing. I am a Senior citizen on a low fixed income wo lives in a rural area that requires car transportation. Thank you and any assistance that the BBB can assist me with will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We take all customer concerns seriously and have conducted a thorough review of Ms. ******* file and communications to date.
  Ms. ***** holds a vehicle service contract that outlines specific coverage terms, including limitations on repair facility types and covered repairs. While we understand her frustrations, we would like to provide clarification and context for the situation.
  Our records indicate that Ms. ***** has been in contact with our claims department on multiple occasions regarding repair approvals. Notably:
  She was advised that services from mobile mechanics are not eligible under the terms of her contract. We require repairs to be completed at licensed brick-and-mortar facilities to ensure quality assurance and verifiable documentation.
  Our team provided guidance on moving her vehicle to a qualifying repair facility and explained the process for obtaining rental reimbursement (up to $150), which is clearly stated in her contract.
  Diagnostic fees are considered for reimbursement when a covered repair is authorized and completed. In this case, the repairs submitted for approval were either not covered by the contract or lacked sufficient documentation for review.
  We located a delayed email from the repair facility regarding a refrigerant recharge and responded accordingly. Once we received the necessary documentation, we provided appropriate direction on how to proceed.
  Ms. ***** also requested a phone call from a manager. While we acknowledge her preference not to use email, we made efforts to accommodate her request and offer direct support, although communication challenges arose due to hold times and call volume.
  We understand Ms. ******* disappointment and sincerely regret any inconvenience or confusion. That said, Palmer Administrative Services has consistently acted in accordance with the terms and conditions of her contract. Our goal remains to support our customers while operating fairly and within the boundaries of their agreements.
  At this time, we are unable to issue a billing adjustment or refund, as the disputed amount reflects the cost of the service contract which has been active and available for use per its defined coverage. However, we remain open to further communication and will gladly review any new documentation that supports a covered claim.
  Sincerely,
  Palmer Administrative Services

  I canceled my vehicle protection plan back in December of 2024. A certified letter was sent and received on 12/12/24 confirming my cancelation request and full refund due to my car being a total loss in an accident. I have called multiple times since then and each time I am told to just keep waiting because it takes 16 weeks. It has now been well over 16 weeks. I called in Mid April 2025 and was told that my request was processed and calls would be going out on Thursday and payment would be sent out on Friday. I continued waiting for several Thursdays and Fridays and finally called again today. I was told that the refund has been approved but nobody can tell me how long it will take to be sent out. She said that she has seen it take over a year to be sent out. Then she proceeded to tell me that the policy is not even refundable and when I told her thatbit IS in fact refundable and i mentioned that the letter included my car accident lawyers contact info in case they needed to reach out and she quickly ended the call. I would like my refund sent out as soon as possible.

  *********,
  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
  We have reviewed Ms. ****** ***** concern regarding the cancellation of her vehicle protection plan and the requested refund.
  After verifying the account details, we can confirm that a pro-rated refund check in the amount of $1,164.26 was processed and mailed to the address on file on May 10, 2025. This refund amount was calculated based on the terms of the policy, which allows for a pro-rated return.
  We sincerely apologize for any confusion or delays experienced during this process. We understand Ms. ***** frustration and have taken steps to ensure clearer communication moving forward. If Ms. ***** has not yet received the check, we kindly ask her to allow a few more days for delivery. Should there be any further issues, we would be happy to reissue the payment with verification of non-receipt.
  Thank you for the opportunity to resolve this matter. Please let us know if you require any additional documentation.

  I purchased an extended warranty from Palmer (contract #AAPL-114403/account #****************. According to their handbook I could cancel at any time and file for any refund due less any services I had used. I paid on this agreement but decided to cancel when a friend who was also paying on her plan to the same company never received payment for the repairs to her vehicle. I called Palmer to cancel the warranty and stop the monthly payments on 08/14/2024, after seeing the trouble she had in even talking to anyone and not getting the service promised. I was instructed on what info to send to Palmer in order to receive the refund due me. I immediately sent all of that information in to them. I have called every 2-3 weeks, spoke to ****** with a bad attitude each time, but still have not received my refund. I was initially told that it could take up to ***** weeks to receive a refund, not counting weekends and holidays. It has been 8 MONTHS since I was told a check was being processed!! Every time I call they tell me that they send checks out on Fridays. STILL NO CHECK! I think that this company is a skam and I will never get a refund back from them.

  THIS COMPANY IS NOTHING BUT A SICK *********** My car has been stuck at a shop needing a new transmission for over 5 months & now the ** wants it towed off property until i can figure out a solution to the situation that Palmer has put me in. The shop, my mother, & I have all spent COUNTLESS HOURS (we should be compensated for in some way) trying to reach a claim *** but all we get is elevator music until eventually getting disconnected. This is the third warranty I've had for this ********* literally night & day comparing this one to the others. They did reach out to me (red flag #1?) & the other warranty had just run out so after spending well over an hour discussing the company & plan options with the *** all seemed legit so i set up a policy- definitely failed to mention that apparently their TX licensing had actually expired almost a year prior...(red flag#2?) They happily took our money each month & then my transmission went out out on me. The shop contacted Palmer to start a claim & an adjuster was promptly sent out to verify what work needed to be done. Only after that adjuster was sent out & a claim attempted to be started were we told that they wouldn't accept the claim due to me apparently "purposely giving them the wrong mileage when i set up the policy". I was completely unaware of this since I literally read it off the odometer. At this point I was well past the stated waiting ************** that the policy required to be active before being able to do a first claim. I was never made aware of this apparent disc***ancy so couldn't have been THAT MUCH of an issue since they continued happily accepting my money for protection in an emergency until I actually needed *********** wanted to avoid paying out on an over $5000 job. This situation has literally been traumatic, costing me two jobs, my home, and ******* this point I am escalating to finding ***resentation post haste. I'm only asking for what you sold me.

  We have reviewed Ms. ********* claim and the circumstances surrounding it. Unfortunately, the claim was denied due to a discrepancy in the reported starting mileage at the time of policy purchase. Our records indicate that when the contract was purchased on November 3, 2023, the starting mileage was recorded as *******. However, a ****** report from May 28, 2022, shows the vehicle had ******* miles, meaning the reported mileage at the time of purchase was incorrect. This discrepancy invalidated the policy per the contract terms. We regret any inconvenience this situation has caused Ms. ********* If she would like to discuss alternative solutions, we encourage her to contact our customer service team directly at **************

  Breach of Contract in failing to provide access to "claims Department" for authorization of necessary repairs to my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee which was brought into ******** ******, Inc., ******, ** on November 6, 2024. After numerous ( I do mean numerous attempts by myself and the Service Writer, Freddy of ******** ******) I called and spoke to "Brenda" at the Customer Service call center at Palmer for the last time today December 9, 2023 as a follow up to my final call last Thursday, December 5, 2024. Brenda had sent a final email to the Claims Department on December 5, 2024 advising of my frustration and intent to file this claim with the BBB and cancel my contract. As of today, December 9, 2024, I called Brenda, at Palmer advising I never received any call back and was not a happy customer and will file the complaint with the BBB today and she also took my account of Auto Pay. My vehicle needed various repairs and it is my only vehicle so I of course needed these items repaired. Naturally despite not being able to get ahold of Palmer for authorization on November 6, 2024, I granted approval to repair what needed to be repaired and will pay if need be, but in the meantime, I proceeded to call Palmer every day, numerous times, numerous departments to no avail. I was told that emails were sent to the claims department as well as to a supervisor to contact me immediately as I could not leave my vehicle in the shop longer! Finally, on November 12, 2024, I paid $2,554.26 via credit card so I could have my vehicle back. I was very annoyed and despite paying for this out of my own pocket I still continued to get ahold of the claims department to see what they would pay. Im aware that this warranty doesn't pay for every item on my invoice, but I'm sure they are responsible for some items and at this point they can pay the entire invoice since it has cost me great aggravation, I had to cancel a couple Drs appointments and now have high interest on this credit card

  I have been trying to get through to them since Friday about paying a claim for services & at first we got a disconnected message; so I waited until today. My claim for a major repair which is covered is being denied after I have paid off my contract 14 months early. No one answers the phone, & every time you call they transfer you to a claims department and your on hold for half an hour and then the phone just disconnects; this is my 4th time calling since 9am this morning & since 2:45pm on Friday! I have paid $4700 in an extended warranty policy that doesn't expire until 2026.
