Legal advice needed - proof of claim Posted by Clay McNeely [Email] (#497) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Clay McNeely) on Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:37:45 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I know this has been discussed very briefly in the past, but no clear answers were presented and I know there are others in the same situation.
I purchased my 9-4X this past September before everything went south...and I was very aware of that possibility at the time, so no buyer's remorse here. Anyway, when I purchased the vehicle, there was a manufacturer's warranty in place and a 3-year complimentary maintenance package. Once Saab filed for bankruptcy, the warranty was suspended and the complimentary maintenance package disappeared.
I recently received a Proof of Claim form and I am unclear as to whether the amount should be for the value of a warranty (whatever magical number that may be), amounts that I have paid myself that should have been covered under the original warranty (thankfully, this doesn't amount to anything at this point), amounts that I have paid myself that should have been covered under the complimentary maintenance plan (so far, just the 10,000-mile scheduled service), and/or some other number? I understand that the probability of any of these amounts being written off or greatly reduced is very high, but I figured it was a question worth asking. I believe this would be classified as a contingent claim since any amounts paid out-of-pocket that should have been covered under warranty/complimentary maintenance have not yet been incurred. Also, are there any other items that should be included on the proof of claim?
Any advice and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Drive safely and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
