Carson City, NV -
October 01, 2014The Nevada
Division of Insurance is seeking information from consumers in Nevada who have
outstanding unpaid claims against the Nevada-based company, Sensible Home
Warranty.
In May 2014
Sensible announced on its website that it had gone out of business; as a
result, on May 28, 2014 the Division suspended Sensible’s certificate of
registration. The Division is aware that many consumers in Nevada may still
have outstanding claims that Sensible has failed to pay, and is seeking
information from these individuals so that claims may be paid utilizing a
security bond held by the State of Nevada.
To make a
claim, consumers must file a Proof of Claim Form which must be submitted to the
Division no later than March 26, 2015. This form can be downloaded from the
Division website doi.nv.gov.
After the
deadline, the Division will evaluate all Proof of Claim Forms to verify that
the claims are legitimate and were submitted before the deadline. The
Commissioner of Insurance will approve all final claims decisions and payments.
Funds available for claims are limited.
The Division
cannot guarantee what percentage of approved claims will be paid. This will be
determined by the Commissioner considering the amount of approved claims in
relation to the amount of the security held by the State of Nevada.
