Local Car Warranty Company Accused of Scam

Local Car Warranty Company Accused of Scam - Friday, December 18, 2009 at 6:36PM EST

EYNON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY --Thousands of motorists may have been ripped off by a local car warranty company. That's the claim of a consumer protection lawsuit filed by the attorney general today. It's a story the I-Team first broke 14 months ago. Jeff Chirico is still following this story. He has today's new developments.

Eagle Warranty Corp. in Eynon is accused of not paying for auto repairs it had authorized. That left car owners paying thousands of dollars for fixes that should have been covered. Eagle Warranty Corp. shut its doors suddenly last week.

The attorney general is seeking restitution for all consumers who have not received the services they paid for. Jim Fife bought a warranty from them for his used pick up truck. When it broke down Eagle refused to pay for repairs.

The Attorney General Tom Corbett says Eagle sold four year warranties for anywhere from 400 to 2500 dollars. In a release, the AG says customers were met with unanswered calls, unpaid claims and worthless warranties.

Today, a court froze all bank accounts, business records and other assets belonging to Eagle and its president Charles Yaskulski of Uniondale and vice president Edmund Yaskulski of Moscow.

Fife says he's glad the state blew the whistle on Eagle. “My reaction is justice has been served I guess. They knew all along it was crooked. It's just bad business."

The AG has received more than 160 complaints from customers in Pennsylvania and 15 other states. If you have had a problem with Eagle, the attorney general wants to hear from you.
