CONSUMER WARNING: CMS/ Cancel My Solar / Exit Lawyers / Covar Law Group
I was working with Cancel My Solar (CMS) to get out of my solar contract. After nearly handing over $10,000, I uncovered serious red flags -- including no proof of success, misleading refund terms, and a major privacy breach.
By Adam Garcia - NC homeowner and solar loan holder
BACKGROUND:
Cancel My Solar is a marketing company that partners with Covar Law Group. They claim to help homeowners cancel predatory solar contracts.
Their pitch sounded solid:
High success rate. Legal backing. A possible refund of what I'd already paid toward my loan.
They quoted a $9,995 flat fee and pushed me to act fast -- providing a quote that used the money I had already paid to my solar company (that they aimed to get back for us) as reason to assume the investment was a "No-Brainer."
WHY I BACKED OUT -- AND WHY YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL:
1. No Reputation. No Track Record. No Proof.
They claim 13 years of success. I found none.
No case studies
No legal records
No solar-related reviews
No presence on Avvo, Yelp, or Google
Just a few immigration reviews
A BBB listing created December 2024
Everything they claim relies solely on their word. There's no paper trail -- just marketing.
2. They refused to add basic refund protections.
Their sales pitch includes the promise of a refund if no results are delivered.
So I asked for one simple clause:
If no resolution is reached in 24 months, refund the $9,995 automatically -- no forms, no hoops, no 3-day deadline.
They refused.
Why that matters:
The original contract hides a clause requiring you to request a refund within 3 days of the 2-year mark -- or they'll keep your money and just "keep trying."
They also refused to clearly define what counts as a "resolution."
That's not a safety net. That's a setup.
3. They mishandled my private information.
I was told an updated contract was sent to me.
It wasn't.
After three follow-ups over two weeks, they admitted it had been sent to a completely different person -- someone who shared my first name.
This wasn't a typo. It was my legal contract, sent to a stranger.
That's gross negligence.
4. When I questioned the fine print, they backed out.
I respectfully pushed back on vague, last-minute language that weakened my protections.
Rather than address my concerns, they dropped me as a prospective client.
Their reason?
I was "not the right fit."
Translation: You asked too many smart questions.
WHAT THIS REALLY IS:
Cancel My Solar is a high-pressure marketing funnel -- not a real legal service.
They:
Use urgency and emotion to sell
Push $10,000 "flat-fee" legal agreements
Offer no verifiable proof of success
Mishandle sensitive personal data
Shut down when asked for transparency
I'M STILL LOOKING FOR LEGIT HELP:
I still need to cancel a predatory solar loan.
If you're an attorney who actually handles these cases -- or a homeowner who's succeeded in getting out of one -- I'd love to hear from you.
