LINCOLN, Neb. -- Dealers who sold National Warranty Insurance Group’s service contracts prior to June 6, 2003, have agreed in a preliminary settlement to take care of covered repairs, reported AutoRemarketing.com.

Court documents said, "Certain car dealers ... have agreed to absorb the cost of repairing cars and administering claims for the class members to the extent the VSC was sold separately by them to the VSC holder, making a claim for repair against them without being required to file a claim form."

The Nevada State Court will hold a hearing Jan. 6, 2006 to consider whether to grant final approval to the settlement.
