unfortunately my losses were much more substantial...never been through something like this before...net, net what does anyone think our chances are of getting some of our money back? My contract was paid in full, and it appears from the ruling (which I just read) that class 3 (WGVSC) claiments have a pretty good shot...just don't know.

"Class actions suits rarely benefit anyone but lawyers....they get millions and you get a $20 coupon towards something. Did you try legal action on your own?? "
Or in the case of Jiffy Lube, you get $5 coupon

Does anybody know whether the WG News web-site and the WG Creditor's Committee web-site are still live web-sites? Nothing has been changed on the former since last April, and on the latter since last August. I just tried to post something on the latter and failed. I received an error message "FrontPage Error", whatever that means.

I've been trying to post to the Creditor's site and get the same error - I've written to the administrator, but no response.....there is updated info (Oct, 2005) on www.nwig.com however.

Thank you. I know about the updated info on the other site. I just wish I understood what that info really means to us. That info (and questions about it)was what I was trying to post on the WG Creditor's Committee Web-Site, and it wouldn't accept either that post or an e-mail message to the Committee. I guess they're just going to leave us all out in the cold while they spend all of the available funds on themselves.

Yep, time to learn from this experience and move on. I've been preaching to never buy anything but a manufacturer backed warranty at every chance I get.

And what if the manufacturer will go belly up?

You're right, nothing is 100%. Ever hear of Daewoo? Any warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it.
But who would you feel safer with, Toyota / GM / Ford / Honda / Chrysler or someone like Warranty Gold / Warranty Direct / Auto Direct?

Absolutely agree: GM is better than WG. However, well known companies, like GE, used to be in the 3-rd part warranty business. I probably would prefer GE to GM as today.
