OK Guys, I just got this e-mail from Paragon, with whom I had a tire/wheel policy:

My Ride: MY06 530i Silver Grey (A08)
I would send them a letter requesting a pro-rated refund of the premium for the canceled term of coverage. I would do it sooner than later because at some point the honey pot is going to run dry.
That sure is a bummer man. GL with getting it resolved.

My Ride: 2008 535i Monaco blue/cream beige, light poplar trim, sport, nav, premium, Logic 7, 6 speed manual
My other rides:
Departed: 2006 530xi Silver gray/black, anthracite maple trim, cold, sport, nav, premium, Logic 7, 6 speed steptronic, bluetooth, adaptive xenons
Departed...2002 525i White/beige, 5 sp manual
Does this mean they are insolvent? You could understand them phasing out costly policies, but dumping policy-holders seems pretty drastic. Obviously, none of those customers will be back. And I was just looking at one of the extended warranties they offer....
Hope you get some kind of coverage worked out.

I further complained in writing that if the roadway was repaired PROPERLY the FIRST time ... it would not be likely need repair 6 times in 12 months. It seemed like a waste of MY TAX DOLLARS.
The reply was "TOUGH S_IT" That's the way we handle these things... Pay your taxes and be happy with poor workmanship and Overtime out the A_ _!
It's the AMERICAN WAY -TAX AND SPEND SPEND SPEND!!

Think about that strategy now that Paragon is getting out of that coverage.
