It's a big world out there...

It's a big world out there, and everyone needs a little help. When it comes to every day living, there is no choice but to deal with enormous corporations. The only goal a corporation has is to make money. That's why it exists. That singular mission usually starts with a noble cause, a good product, a good service. It usually has good intentions.
When the energy company can maintain their stock prices by fudging the accounting, it finds ways to manipulate the numbers. When profits can be increased by skimping on an ingredient, the cookie company will lose the ingredient, or substitute it with something cheaper. The common theme is that nothing is done about these issues until consumers form a loud enough voice to oppose the corporation and tell them that what they're doing is not right - it's not good enough to eat - the stock is not valued that highly.
Our particular cause is extended warranties on vehicles. Did you know that when you trade your vehicle in, or sell it back to the dealership that you should receive a refund on the portion of the extended warranty that you did not use? Most people purchase an extended warranty for their vehicle when they buy it. They spend a thousand or more dollars to ensure that their investment is protected for a long time. And the finance person makes a good commission on that - which is why it's pushed so hard. When you trade it back it in, by law, the dealership is supposed to give you credit for the unused portion of that warranty. But this just never happens. And consumers know nothing about it. It's because it runs contrary to the primary mission of the corporation. They say "we make money, we don't give money back."
The very ethical dealerships will give you a credit toward your next vehicle purchase. Most just don't say anything. That's why we started WarrantyRefund.com. We get the money you're owed. Even if you no longer own the car.
