      Paylink, which supports Sky **** Protection, sent me a letter in the mail shortly after I purchased my car, and in my belief, had the direct, malicious intention to make me believe my dealership had already started the insurance process with them, and that I would have to finalize the deal with Paylink/Sky **** Protection to be insured. I had never received communication from then before or requested information from them before purchasing my car. From reading other comments within the ****************************, it appears other individuals have had the same experience--being led on to believe PayLink/Sky **** Protection was an extension of the paperwork completed at a dealership. Upon calling Skylink's customer service and indicating I would like my account cancelled, the representative was aggressive and rude, and would not directly cancel my account and wanted to read me the benefits of continuing my account, even when I asked him not to. He said it was "unprecedented" that someone would close down their account and lose 2 months worth of payment, and when he finally did cancel my account, said he would as he "couldn't get a word in edgewise," spat out a confirmation number and hung up on me. I believe these were all tactics used to not get me to cancel my account.

      ******* me into believing they were my actual extended warranty company. Had to cancel credit card for no further charges. Came here to see several other people in the same situation as me. Truly despicable business practice.

      We dont remember signing up with them and when we called to cancel, they kept asking why and offered a lower rate. We kept repeating that we wanted to cancel, but they kept talking and talking, wouldnt let us talk. They kept trying to make us keep the policy, we kept repeating to cancel. Finally they canceled after being on the phone for 15 minutes.

      I have paid my premium for over a year and have never received documentation which would detail my coverage. Also when I attempted to file a claim I was unable to get any assistance from paylink. Though I have lost money for over a year, I now want to cancel this agreement which appears to be one sided.

      I am victim of this company . They have been billing me monthly since last year . They have been taking $231.07 from my account every month. I still have not been informed what this plan covers . No communication from this company . They tricked me into believing that the previous owner of my car was on a service plan with them . They even forget that they are already billing me and they send me letters like they did before claiming final notice that my vehicle will lose coverage . Over $1,617 has been deducted from my credit card . I must get to the bottom of this.

      Very combative, argumentative, and unprofessional. Called and asked to cancel my services, and instead they kept trying to bully me into keeping the policy going. After I continued to tell them I didnt want nor need it anymore, the lady I talked to says since you dont want to answer my questions I wont answer yours and tells me I can sit on hold . I hang up call back and its the same process. Ive contacted my lawyer to help because its a waste of time trying to ask on your own .

      I have been paying this for months. I have never received policy paperwork. This was offered as an extended warranty continuation policy and was never explained other than it would be like the manufacturers warranty. The amount of $162 a month is high and the additional fees for putting this policy in place were not disclosed. Be very careful!

      Company sales reps **** on the elderly. Once you discover what they doing and go to cancel, the sweet demeanor changes to immediate unprofessionalism, nasty attitudes, and interrogation-like tactics. If you have to deal with them, take my advice, record the call. Then afterwards, once the cancellation is complete, make them send you proof, then contact the bank to make sure they dont charge your account.
