Service Protection Agreements from Sears
October 2018: This lawsuit was automatically stayed after Sears filed for bankruptcy.
2015: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Sears (and amended in 2016) for allegedly deceptively offering service protection agreements to cover the maintenance and repair of products that are not actually covered.

Sears Protection Co. et al, Case No. 15-cv-2546, N.D. Ill.)
