State Law Guide
Many F&I products allow cancellation for a pro-rata refund, but the contract, product type, timing, claims, and state law all matter.
Connecticut Extended Warranty Cancellation Guide
Under Connecticut Extended Warranty Statute, Connecticut gives you the right to cancel and receive refunds on F&I products. Dealers who fail to comply face Remedies under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act when the conduct is an unfair or deceptive trade practice: actual damages, punitive damages in the court's discretion, and costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-110g(a), (d)).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel my extended warranty in Connecticut?
It depends on your contract. Connecticut law (CGS § 42-260(c)(7)) requires an extended warranty to state whether you can cancel if the vehicle is returned, sold, lost, stolen or destroyed, or to say there is no right to cancel. There is no statutory free-look period, so contact your provider and follow the cancellation terms in your contract.
Does Connecticut have a specific service contract act?
Connecticut regulates extended warranties under CGS § 42-260, which sets requirements for warranty contracts including insurance backing and disclosure. Additional protections exist under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA).
What if a Connecticut dealer refuses my refund?
You can file a complaint under CUTPA, which provides for actual damages and attorney fees. The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection also investigates dealer complaints.
