National Marine
Can anyone tell me if a goverment agency can help me? I bought a passport extended warranty from NATIONAL MARINE. Now I want to cancell the policy and recieve a refund. Passport has been great to deal with no problem. Passport can not refund my money without NATIONAL MARINE signing off. NATIONAL MARINE refuses to sign off on the policy, therefor no refund. This is the second time NATIONAL MARINE has jerked me around with alarge sum of money(at least to me) Without getting an attorney is there a consumer watch dog that looks out for the little guy? Iam in Pa. they are in Ohio. It has been several monthsand I dont know what to do. Any help would be great! THe first incedent with the money was satisfied. THanks Daryl

truw but my biggest advice being a dealer for along time is they here it alot when people are irate.. the biggest thing with the dealer is to go to the top and STAY COOL..... don't make it sound like you are just pissed and making an idle threat..Also have the facts before you talk to them.. cause you know they know how it all works

It is imperative that you document any attempts to communicate with them. Time, dates and results. Have you tried FAX??? or E-Mail?? Thats' good objective evidence you might need further down the road.
