Legal Question in Insurance Law in Florida

Re: Appliance service contract

If you have not already done so, now is the time to start documenting your case. Send the servicer a letter by certified return receipt mail. Keep a copy. In a professional and concise manner specifically recount their failure to repair the unit. Demand that they satisfactorily repair the unit within 1 week, or replace the unit. Also, demand that they respond only in writing.

If they still do not reslove the matter, then make a complaint to the FL Dept. of Agriculture (Consumer Affairs Office) and the Better Business Bureau. If the matter still does not satisfactorily resolve, then seek a consultation with an attorney.

With this type of case ,the matter often quickly resolves once a letter is sent on an attorney's stationary. Ask an attorney to send a demand letter.

If the matter still does not reslove, consider formally retaining an attorney to file suit. If you prevail, you may be awarded attorney fees and costs. That will depend on the specifics of your contract and/or the specifics of your case.

You can always file suit on your own (small claims).

You should schedule a formal consultation with a� lawyer.� A good means of obtaining an attorney referral is by contacting your State's bar association or your local county bar association.��� They probably have a web site and charge a nominal fee for the referral.� Most attorneys either provide a free initial consultation, or charge a nominal fee.
