Your Cancellation Rights
Under Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, some F&I products sold in Ohio 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel my extended warranty in Ohio?
Ohio does not have a motor-vehicle-specific service contract statute — ORC 3905.423 (which governs other "consumer goods" service contracts) explicitly excludes motor vehicle service contracts and vehicle protection products. So your contract's own cancellation and refund terms control, and the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (ORC 1345.01 et seq.) provides a remedy if a dealer engages in unfair or deceptive practices.
Does Ohio require service contracts to be backed by insurance?
ORC 3905.423 requires reimbursement insurance for non-vehicle "consumer goods" service contracts, but that statute does not apply to motor vehicle service contracts. There is no equivalent statutory insurance-backing requirement specific to dealer-sold vehicle service contracts in Ohio.
What penalties exist for Ohio warranty violations?
Under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (ORC 1345.09), you can seek rescission or actual damages for an unfair or deceptive practice. If the specific practice was previously declared deceptive by a rule or court decision, you can recover the greater of $200 or treble damages, plus attorney fees.
Where do I file a complaint in Ohio?
Contact the Ohio Attorney General Consumer Protection Section at (800) 282-0515. You can also file in small claims court for amounts up to $6,000.
