Credit Card Warranties Might Cover Damage Caused By Sony Battery Errors In Apple and Dell Computers

As consumer worries grow over the Sony battery crisis, customers who have experienced damage to a computer may have protection.

Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) August 26, 2006 -- As consumer worries grow over the Sony battery crisis, customers who have experienced damage to a computer may have protection. Purchases made with certain credit cards may have what is called Purchase Security according to Chris McCullough, founder of Creditcardsuperstar.com an online credit card shopping service.

“If you purchased your computer with a credit card that has Purchase Security or Warranty Manager Service coverage, it’s possible the extended warranties would cover faulty batteries,” responded Mr. McCullough. However, claims can be denied if they are not filed timely. “Credit Card companies typically require that you notify them within 60 days of a product failure,” said Mr. McCullough. “If you fail to notify them within the 60 days, they can deny your claim.”

Coverage is usually limited to $10,000 per Visa card receipt and other documentation is required. Also, only valid and reasonable repairs made at the manufacturer’s authorized repair facility are covered.

“What’s unfortunate is that some people will forget that they even have this coverage,” said Mr. McCullough. “After they apply for a credit card, they just stick the card agreement in the drawer and forget about it.”

If someone is unsure if their credit card has purchase protection, they may call their credit card company directly or Visa at 800-847-2911.
