Consumers warned not to purchase Amcan warranties Consumers purchasing extended warranties on used cars are being warned not to buy them from Amean Protection Incorporated of Ottawa. The company appears to have gone out of business, but used car dealers who are unaware of the situation may still be selling the warranties, says Tom Johnson of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations (MCCR). The ministry is also warning everyone who has already signed a contract with the company to postpone any warranty work until an investigation of the firm has been completed. ra 3 EK i s $ Sfle! & hes & hss ‘ 4 i4 en w e * Apvad x ;.

Give them a summer job. WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, "Consumers who try to get repairs done under one of these contracts may not be covered and could face paying for the work themselves," says Johnson. "From what we know now, it appears more than 10,000 warranties have been sold in Ontario alone."‘ Concerns about the company surfaced recently when the ministry received calls from Amcan customers who had been unable to reach the company. Most of these people were trying unsucâ€" cessfully to get outstanding claims honored. According to Johnson, the company has vacated its office at 215 Cooper St. in Ottawa and cannot be located. The same firm closed an office in St. Foy, Quebec last November. Most of the warranties involved were sold through used car dealers. The apparent closure may not affect Amcan warranties sold in Canada west of Thunder Bay. Those contracts are administered by a separate Amcan company working out of Winnipeg. The Winnipeg firm was formed only a few months ago when Amcan underwent a corporate split. Ministry staff are investigating the situation to find out how it will affect consumers who have already bought warranties through Amcan of Ottawa. In most instances, when a company goes out of business, its warranties are useless. ‘"We don‘t know if there‘s any w.y existing warranties can be honored, but certainly, no one should buy one now," Johnson says. any sort of work available, but ideally, they would like to find employment related to their field of study This would help ease the transition from school to work, and help eliminate the "no experience/no job" bias that they may face when seeking full time employment Hiring students makes good business sense. For every type of job you can offer, there‘s a student more than willing to work. Cangg(fé'__,‘ 1986 â€" PAGE 11
