My mom received a letter from CarShield stating that there "will be a Price Increase to our Vehicle Service Contracts effective 4/29/2026". It then directs her to "call us at (their phone number), so we can hold your VSC at the lowest program rates".
My mom does not have (and never has had) a vehicle service contract with CarShield and sending out this notice with language/word choice that implies she does , for example "we can hold [YOUR] VSC at the lowest program rates", is deceptive. It can trick and scare people into unnecessarily contacting CarShield out of fear of having to pay a "price increase" and then getting manipulated or pressured into purchasing a vehicle service contract when they are likely already covered under their own car insurance policy.
