Notice of Recoverable Refund

You may be owed compensation on F&I products purchased with your vehicle.

Drivers who paid off, traded in, refinanced, or totaled a vehicle are frequently entitled to refunds on extended warranties, GAP coverage, and other ancillary protection products — often without ever being notified. National Auto Refund Group files these claims on your behalf, with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Section 01 · Eligibility

Who is eligible to file a claim?

Eligibility is determined by the circumstances of your original vehicle purchase and any subsequent change in status. If any of the following apply within the last 24 months, you likely have a recoverable refund.

Criterion 01

Loan Paid in Full

If you paid off your vehicle loan early — whether through payoff, lump sum, or refinance — the unearned portions of your VSC, GAP, and ancillary products are typically refundable.

Criterion 02

Vehicle Traded or Sold

F&I products are tied to your original loan, not the vehicle itself. When the vehicle is traded or sold, the remaining contract value is owed back to you.

Criterion 03

Loan Refinanced

Refinancing typically terminates the original loan. Most F&I products do not transfer to the new lender, making the remaining value recoverable.

Criterion 04

Vehicle Totaled or Repossessed

When a vehicle is declared a total loss, GAP coverage typically pays out — but VSC, tire & wheel, and other ancillary products still carry recoverable refund value.

Criterion 05

Still Owned · Wish to Cancel

Most F&I products can be cancelled at any time during the contract for a prorated refund of the unearned portion, regardless of current ownership status.

Criterion 06

Original Documents Available

If you can locate your original buyer's order, F&I product contracts, or financing paperwork, we can determine eligibility and file the claim on your behalf.

Section 02 · The Filing Process

Section 04 · Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding the claim process.

There is no upfront cost. Document review, eligibility analysis, and claim filing are provided at no charge. Our recovery fee is assessed only when a refund is successfully obtained on your behalf, and is collected as a portion of the recovered amount. If no recovery is obtained, no fee is owed.

When an F&I product is cancelled, the dealership's commission on that product is partially reversed — a process known in the industry as a chargeback. This creates a structural disincentive for dealerships to inform consumers of their refund rights. Your right to cancel and recover the unearned portion is contractually guaranteed, but the responsibility to initiate the claim falls on the consumer.

When an outstanding loan exists, refunds are typically remitted to the lienholder and applied to the principal loan balance. While the funds do not arrive as a direct payment to you, the benefit is realized through reduced loan balance, accelerated payoff, and increased vehicle equity.

From submission of complete documentation, most claims complete the administrator review and disbursement process within 60–90 days. Some product administrators process faster, while others may extend beyond this window. National Auto Refund Group manages all follow-up correspondence throughout the process.

No. National Auto Refund Group is a private refund recovery service. We do not provide legal advice and are not a law firm. We are not affiliated with any government agency, dealership, lender, or insurance carrier. Our service is limited to assisting consumers in filing for refunds that are owed under their original F&I product contracts.

Consumers are entitled to file claims directly with product administrators. However, the process requires identification of each cancellable product, location of the appropriate administrator (not the selling dealership), preparation of administrator-specific cancellation forms, and ongoing follow-up. We handle this process on your behalf as a service.
