    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    On or about * **** 2023, I physically went to Jeff Smith Ford., to cancel an auto warranty I purchased in ******** 2022. While there, I met with the sales person, Marvin, who was involved in the initial vehicle purchase; Marvin assisted me in obtaining the correct form to cancel the warranty. I signed the form noting the current mileage as 6057 miles. I was provided a copy of the form and the original form was provided to a finance manager to be processed. On **** *** 2023, I called the warranty issuer, ***** ******** ********, and learned the warranty cancellation had not been processed. On ** July 2023, I called Jeff Smith Ford and was transferred to finance manager office number and was sent to voice mail. I left a detailed message for the finance manager but did not receive a call that day. I called again the next day and was again transferred to the finance manager and was sent to voice mail; I left another detailed message yet, I was not called back. I decided to wait a few days to see if the warranty cancellation was processed; it was not as confirmed by ***** ******** *********  On * ******, 2023, I called Jeff Smith Ford and requested to speak to Ms. Linda N******. Ms. N******'s name was given to me ***** ******** ********, as the point of contact for warranty cancellation. I spoke to Ms. N******, explained the situation, and she told me she had not received the paperwork to cancel the warranty. She told me she was speak to the finance manager. On * ******, 2023, I called ***** ******** ******** to see if the warranty had been cancelled; it was still active and the agent told me there was nothing in email from Jeff Smith Ford requesting cancellation. After being told this, I called Jeff Smith Ford and requested to speak to Ms. N******. Again, I was sent to voicemail and was not called back. I have made more than reasonable efforts; Jeff Smith Ford has made NO EFFORT. Request BBB intervention.

I sign all my paper work an it was downloaded on a small hard drive.. When I went to the office to print up the documents I noticed the paper with the financing was missing... I call Jeff smith. The finance manger said he would mail it to me. I also told him to drop the extended warranty on the car because I didn't want it anymore...10 days later I still had not received it..so I drove back asked for it. He printed it up .when I got home I saw where the car was overpriced . that's why he didn't print it up the way they did when I bought the truck. I went to *** ***** ****** ***** they say its nothing they can do.Jeff smith manager says he can't changed the paper work since *** ***** has it now. So I might Have to get a lawyer to get this straight because no one will help...they trying to hold out until I can't do anything...
