Owner claimed since ATV wasn't totaled, there's no insurance.
Friend took liability for a few ATV's, one of them smashed, The then $7,000 hold came up as charge. Owner claimed since ATV wasn't totaled, there's no insurance. Name on contract is spelled 1 letter off. Is he liable?
The name being 1 letter off doesn't make a difference - still an enforceable contract but they're con'ing you. That's not how insurance works.
so how does he proceed?Dispute the charge? I don't think the cc will back him all the way through the insurance process.
if i add cruise control to a vehicle that doesnt come with it (base trim) by swapping out the switch and activating it via software. is that a valid reason to terminate the warrenty?
Full disclaimer: I am not an attorney. Having been around the block (and utilizing a quick google search) I can tell you contracts are enforceable even with a misspelling because it still identifies the person on that end of the contract even if their name is misspelled. Working in Insurance I can tell you that's not how insurance works - Insurance doesn't only cover total loses ("totaled"), they cover any covered losses - it could be this guys deductible on the claim would be $5k and he'd rather charge it to you because he can get a full $7k from you and only $2k from insurance and his premiums would go up if he claims to insurance. If he's making a blanket statement that there's no insurance because it wasn't totaled - he either doesn't know what he's talking about or he's lying (maybe he doesn't even have insurance). Without seeing the contract I can't tell the best course of action. Does the contract state any liability associated with damage? An approach can certainly be to approach or call the owner on his bluff and tell him that you're not paying because his insurance should cover it. If not, you can dispute the charge and say his insurance is supposed to covering it and depending on which card issuer and how well you present the case to them it could work.
Are they required to submit it to their insurance if you signed a contract accepting liability?
https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/businesspersons-guide-federal-warranty-lawquote from ftc article:Generally, tie-in sales provisions aren’t allowed. These are provisions that state or imply that a consumer must buy or use an item or service from a particular company to keep their warranty coverage. Here are some examples of prohibited tie-in sales provisions.“To keep your new Plenum Brand Vacuum Cleaner warranty in effect, you must use genuine Plenum Brand Filter Bags. Failure to have scheduled maintenance performed, at your expense, by the Great American Maintenance Company, Inc., voids this warranty.”“This limited warranty shall not apply if the warranty seal has been broken, removed, erased, defaced, altered, or is otherwise illegible,” where a device cannot be repaired without such effects.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty_Act
