Frequently Asked Questions

My protection plan claim was denied — who do I dispute with?
Protection plans are frequently administered by a third party under their own terms. Identify the administrator, request the exclusion relied on in writing, then escalate.
Is a restocking fee legal?
It depends on disclosure and provincial rules, and it generally cannot apply where goods are defective. Raise the defect specifically.
