Extended car warranty calls blocked by federal judge
Extended auto warranty calls have been dealt another blow!
An Illinois judge has issued temporary restraining orders against two companies responsible for about a billion extended car warranty "robo-calls", according to the Associated Press.
We told you last week that the Federal Trade Commission had sued two companies over these extended auto warranty calls, and readers certainly have shared their robo-call horror stories.
The restraining order will remain in effect until May 29, when an FTC hearing has been scheduled on these calls.

The bigger issue could be how these telemarketers are allowed to obtain information about your car warranty in the first place... Are they given sales records by the car companies? Luckily I do not receive these calls, instead they have been kind enough to flood my mail box with their junk.
I don't think they have any specific info about anyone's warranties. They just call a bunch of people randomly in the hopes that someone will respond. --- lfk.
