What Connecticut Law Requires

Your Cancellation Rights

Under Connecticut Extended Warranty Statute, some F&I products sold in Connecticut may be cancellable or refundable, subject to their contract terms. After this period, you're still entitled to a pro-rata refund based on unused time or mileage.

Your contract may include cancellation rights that are easy to overlook. We identify the products, check the applicable terms and rules, and estimate what may be refundable.

A formal demand letter citing your state's exact statutes is harder to ignore than a generic email.
