Past Issues
Banking in the Florida Sunshine
This week, I announced an investigation into nationwide vehicle service contract company CarShield for deceptive sales practices in Florida. I am appalled that consumers across the country were duped by Hollywood celebrities into buying CarShield auto repair warranties that weren't worth the paper they were written on. It's downright despicable to push a false narrative to consumers protecting themselves from the costs of unpredictable car repairs to just run away with their money in the end. These are the type of games that make people distrust their insurance company or warranty provider. If you feel you have been defrauded by CarShield or any other vehicle service contract or warranty company, report it to my office immediately.
Lastly, I would like to remind everyone that tomorrow is the Florida Unclaimed Property Auction in West Palm Beach! There are going to be a lot of great items including a men's gold ring with ruby's and diamonds, a lady's platinum and diamond Hamilton watch, and much more! Proceeds from the auction go to benefit public schools in Florida. Also, remember to search NOW for unclaimed property for you, your family, and even your business at FLTreasureHunt.gov.
Sincerely,
