Phoenix American, Warranty Experts and Boerne RV bait and switch
I recently had my MH in and was told that the turbo tuner needed to be replaced and that the extended warranty company Phoenix American would not cover it because the turbo is a Banks system and was not installed at the factory.
In December of 2006 I contacted Warranty Experts off of their website requesting information on their Motor home Warranty offers. I received the email dated the 8th. I spoke with Jason Flowers about their products and then compared it to other products. I discussed it again with some changes and received the email dated the 11th. I gave Jason my Credit card information and paid for the no deductable plan and a week later received the paperwork in the mail.
Interesting the paperwork had the Dealer listed
Boerne RV
32990 IH 10 West (C)
Boerne, TX 78006
(830) 816-3883
www.Boernerv.com
Owned by Ron and Deborah Zinsmeister
[email protected]I assume that warrentyexperts.com was a part of Boerne RV. I recently spoke with Deborah and Ron. When I spoke with Deborah she appeared to be offended that I called and in my opinion was not very nice to me. When I told her that I was calling to discuss the policy that they sold me she told me that they had noting to do with it and hung up on me. I faxed and email a demand letter to them and Ron called me and told me that he only agreed to be a listed as a repair facility for the policy that the dealer information was a type o. The paperwork that I have has a dealer rep signature and Ron told me that he did not authorize anyone to sign on his behalf.
He gave me David Gardner's
[email protected] information and told me that he owned warrantyexperts.com. I left a message for David and sent him and Jason Flowers an email.
David sent this email to me:
I am contacting you about your rude and threatening manor to which you have been treating Debbie Zinsmeister and Jason Flowers because of your issues with Phoenix American and their Warranty Contract that you signed dated 12-19-06.
You signed a Phoenix American Warranty Contract that clearly states the "PARTIES TO THE CONTRACT" which are you and Phoenix American.
Let me say that not only is Boerne RV NOT a party to the contract, you didn't even pay them, nor did Boerne RV accept any money from you, for the Warranty Contract in question. So you can stop threatening them NOW. You have no grounds.
Above you signature on the Phoenix American Warranty Contract dated 12-19-06, it specifically states the PARTIES TO THE CONTRACT. I would advise you to seek legal advice if you are unhappy with Phoenix American and their Warranty Service Contract. Feel free to have your Attorney contact me as I believe he will be competent enough to read and understand the PARTIES involved with a simple Warranty Contract that you signed.
Our company WILL NOT have any further correspondence with you concerning your issues Phoenix American so please do not contact Debbie or Jason again.

I believe that David is missing a few points here or hoping that my lawyer and I miss a few. While I do have a conflict with Phoniex American, I also have one with Boerne RV and Warranty experts (which is owned by MotorhomeByTel). The Dealer is listed as Boerne RV and Warranty Experts is the agent and negotiated the agreement and present me the coverage.
Jason Flowers in no certain terms told me that Our Used Motor Home warranty coverage is an exclusionary policy under which, Every component on your Motor Home is Covered (whether you have it on your vehicle now or you install it later) except what is listed in the "What is not Covered" Section listed below.
The paper work that I recently reviewed states that aftermarket accessories are covered if the are installed by the manufacture. The system was installed by Holiday Rambler when it was new. Aftermarket by definition is after the sale
I addressed this with my lawyers and I was informed that in their opinion, I have two causes of action. One falls under contract law and one falls under the Texas Deceptive Trades Practice Act www.jtexconsumerlaw.com/V8N2pdf/V8N2deceptive.pdf
Because what was marketed to me is in the email is being denied now. I researched and compared what was outlined in the email sent to me by Warranty Experts against other products and agreed to purchase the product outlined in the email. I would not have purchased it but for the email. Interestingly I have been told that it is possible to bring a class action suit under the TDTPA in addition to a breech of contract claim.
If you have had a similar experience with Warranty experts, Phoenix American and or Boerne RV then please use the contact me button on the right to send me your story. If we are unable to come to an amicable resolution we will be proceeding with a Deceptive Trade Practice and breech of contract claim in Texas against all of the named parties.
