Car Warranty

Hi, Can anyone advise me please....
We bought a car in Jan 07 and took out a 3 year warranty (which has proved totally useless, tried to claim twice and was told not covered), anyway, in September our car was written off and we have over a year left of 'cover' under the warranty. We have phoned and asked for a refund and they said that they will not give us a refund as the policy is a 3 year policy regardless. Can they do this. Surely as there is no car to insure, there is no point in having a policy?!
Thanks in advance.

    I doubt you will get a refund. Who did you buy the policy off? Cause if it was a dealer they charged you £300 say and paid the insurer may be £100 so the insurer won't be able to pay say £100 back to you.
  • read the paper work that you got when you signed it
  • Hi MX thanks for your reply. We bought an AA warranty from the dealer where we bought the car. It cost £585 for 3 years cover.

    you may be able to transfer the balance of the warranty on to any new car that you buy.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
