From Coast to Coast—and a $1,000 Surprise
I went from the East Coast back home to the West Coast. Dropped the rental car keys in the bucket, didn’t think anything of it.
A couple of days later, I got an email:
“Dear Sir/Madam, how would you like to handle this $1,000 worth of damage?”
Wait—what? 😳
I hadn’t done anything to that car. No scratches, no accidents, no drama. But here’s the good news:
I didn’t get mad. I simply tapped the app. 📱
Within minutes, I was speaking to a Consumer Attorney here in California. I explained the situation, and they listened carefully. Then they said something that stopped me in my tracks:
“We’ve seen this a few times. It’s extortion.”
They broke it down:
- 💸 Hit you with a $1,000 charge
- 📈 Threaten to turn it over to insurance (raising your rates)
- 🧾 Or worse—send it to collections and damage your credit
- 🧠 All while banking on the fact that you won’t hire a $300/hour attorney to fight a $1,000 claim
But then came the shift. ⚡
“Don’t worry, Ms. You’re a LegalShield member. We’ve got a form letter we’ve used with great success. Would you like us to send one on your behalf—for free?”
I said, “Absolutely.” 🙌
They sent the letter, asserting my consumer rights and making it clear I wasn’t going to pay a bogus charge.
A few days later, I got another email:
“We’ve made a business decision to close the file.”
Of course they did. 😏
💪 Legal Muscle Matters
This is why we need legal protection—not just for big emergencies, but for everyday situations where companies count on us being powerless or uninformed.
LegalShield gave me the confidence, the support, and the muscle to stand up for myself.
No stress. No drama. Just results. ✅
This wasn’t a lawsuit. It was life.
And life throws curveballs—unexpected fees, confusing paperwork, unfair treatment.
LegalShield gives you backup when you need it most.
