Is DEALER SERVICE PLANS fraud?

• Subscriptions: Customers may unknowingly sign up for a subscription service when purchasing a vehicle or service plan.
• Automatic Renewals: Many users report being charged after their initial free or discounted period ended, due to automatic renewal of contracts.
• Service Plan Purchases: Charges may stem from buying specific services included in dealer service plans, which can include maintenance or warranty coverage.
• Trial Memberships: Some users indicated they were enrolled in trial memberships that converted into paid subscriptions without clear notification.
• Accidental Enrollment: Customers have shared instances of signing up for services accidentally when completing other transactions.
• Misleading Information: There are reports of unclear communication regarding what services are included in a purchase, leading to unexpected charges.
• One-Time Fees: Certain charges may appear as one-time fees for services rendered or products ordered through the website.
• Late Fees: Users have reported late fees attached to missed payments for ongoing plans they didn’t realize they had.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the dealerserviceplans.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the dealerserviceplans.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with dealerserviceplans.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.
