“Scam! Don't use this company! I have there Gold Warranty. They refused all payout when you tried to claim. They will say your issues are ongoing and you did not get fixed immediately even though the car is serviced at main dealership and drives fine until the car starts to fault and you have it diagnosed at main dealer immediately. They will bounce you around from on person to another and dragged on until it's over the claim time limit then refused to cover the issue in future.”

To whom it may concern, I am writing to address several concerns regarding the services provided by Momentum Warranties, as outlined under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Specifically, I would like to bring attention to the following points: Despite my initial communication, it appears that my concerns were not adequately addressed in the dismissal of my complaint. Furthermore, this is an additional com-pliant. With further questions and costs which was Advised to me by the Citizen advice bureau
Reasonable Care & Skill: • I believe that the services rendered by Momentum Warranties did not meet the standard of reasonable care and skill as outlined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Right to Repair or Replacement: • I assert my right to have the option for repair or replacement of the faulty service provided, in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Burden of Proof on Momentum Warranties: • I would like to remind Momentum Warranties of their obligation to bear the burden of proof in demonstrating that the services provided met the required standards.
Breach of Contract/Service Agreed: • I contend that there has been a breach of contract regarding the agreed-upon services, and I am seeking resolution in accordance with the terms of the contract. •
In December 2022, you agreed to the following Service Agreement: • Standard Platinum To cover costs, repairs, and to provide parts & labour cover. • To include the Cooling System, Oil Coolant System, Head Gasket, and Diagnostics.
• On my request for advice and information on appropriate garages for repair, in accordance with Mo-mentum's plan benefits:
• Momentum has the right to seek independent advice if there is any doubt regarding the diagnostics and evidence provided by a third-party garage.
• The service agreement also covers Continental use, and Momentum agrees to a repair from a third-party garage with confidence. • We agreed that the repairs would be completed as soon as possible, with the current cost standing at £4,950, for which I am requesting a 100% reduction.
Misdiagnosis of a coolant issue by the garage (Lipscomb, Maidstone), wherein the radiator was replaced to resolve the issue.
Momentum warranties agreed with the garage to carry out the works, with evidence of the fault provided through a clear photograph of the radiator, supported by diagnostics and verbal communication between a technical engineer within both Lipscomb and Momentum.
Unfortunately, the fault was not rectified after the replacement of the radiator, and the issue with the coolant system persisted.
Due to a lack of confidence in Lipscomb's ability to resolve the problem, the following decisions and ac-tions were taken:
A decision was made to explore an alternative garage (Kinghams of Croyden) with a lower labour rate (£95 per hour) compared to Lipscomb's rate of £170 per hour. This decision was discussed and agreed upon by two different advisors from Momentum. Both advisors acknowledged that Lipscomb's hourly rate was very high, and finding an alternative garage with a more cost-effective labour rate would be in line with the Momentum warranty terms and conditions. The dealership were notified via email to contact Momentum on receipt of the vehicle. The car arrived no later than 01/07/2023
During these discussions, no alternative garage or the option of using an independent technician to ad-dress the car issue was suggested. Furthermore, no specific time for filing a claim was discussed or com-municated. • It was collectively determined that opting for an alternative garage would be financially ben-eficial for both parties to resolve the issue...
Unfortunately, the chosen alternative garage (Kinghams) did not possess the necessary equipment to carry out the repairs, despite being provided with a comprehensive history of the car's issues and ex-pressing an initial willingness to help. • The car arrived at xxxxx on the xxxxx date. After persistent fol-low-ups with the garage, I was informed that they lacked the expertise and equipment to resolve the is-sue.
They recommended another garage, but upon contacting them, I discovered that they couldn't schedule the car for another two months. • Eventually, I found an alternative garage that was able to address the issue. • It was decided that the car would be towed to Deens of Hampton on [no later than 16/08/2023 based on the fact that the garage is an Alfa Romeo specialist. The garage was instructed to immediately contact Momentum to confirm the receipt of the car and to discuss diagnostics as soon as possible. Email evidence has been provided to Momentum Warranties.
After a period of [xxxx], the diagnosis was that a new oil filter system was the cause of the problem and would cost £1,800. Momentum has an invoice for the works. The garage subsequently contacted Mo-mentum to discuss before commencing work. However, the diagnostics and claim were rejected by Mo-mentum with no apparent reason given.
Therefore, I had no option but to pay for the repair myself. I discussed this issue with Momentum and was told that the claim was rejected due to a period of 30 days elapsing to make a claim. As I clearly indicated, I have given this responsibility to the garages in question to make contact with Momentum."

Misdiagnosis by Original Repairer: • The original repairer classifies the issue as a misdiagnosis. I am writ-ing to formally express my dissatisfaction and submit a complaint regarding the misdiagnosis of my vehi-cle by Lipscomb & Momentum Warranties.
The original misdiagnosis has led to a series of unfortunate but preventable events, resulting in substan-tial financial burdens for myself and a car that remains unfit for road use, with additional faults emerging.

Alternatively, I propose an alternative solution, wherein Momentum pay for the parts, labour, and instal-lation of a new head gasket, with a total cost of £5,500.00, provided Momentum agrees to designate the repair garage. And request the car be examined by an independent expert at your cost.
Alternative Dispute Res-solution: If an agreement cannot be reached through the proposed solutions, I am open to engaging in an alternative dispute resolution scheme to expedite the resolution process. Re-sponse

“I bought a used discovery so of course I need a warranty...it's a landrover.
In 8 months I have submitted 3 different claims, non of which have been honoured,
1 was electrical and the others good old wear and tear,their favourite get out of jail card.
Believe me , I have persevered and battled and been without the car for weeks..
Bottom line.. they won't pay out ,save the premium cost for repairs.
My garage who have experience with other warranty companies thinks momentum warranties are a waste of money.”
