On June 25, 2004 I purchased a $3500 Panasonic TV along with a five year $400 "full" warranty. I am now having problems with the Lamp in this tv after 3 1/2 years and when I contact Ultimate Electronics and their corporate office I am told that the lamp was only covered for 18 months, not the five years. If I had purchased the TV and warranty in November of 2004, the lamp would be covered. I was also told by corporate office in Colorado that they purchased Ultimate Electronics INC in January of 2005 and whatever went on prior to their purchase is not their problem. I have purchased over $7500 worth of products from Ultimate and now am told "TOO BAD" and cancel your credit card if you want to. What kind of company is this?
I will no longer tell others to shop at Ultimate Electronics and am filing this complaint. Because I purchased a $400.00 bogus warranty, I now have to purchase a $350.00 lamp directly from Panasonic which may get to my house in 5-7 days. I guess that means I will miss all of the college bowl games. According to the warranty, because I live in Arizona, I can cancel the warranty and try to get some money back. We will see how that works out since I was dumb enough to purchase not just one but two warrantys.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds

The Ultimate Electronics you dealt with no longer exists.

AUTHOR: Jim - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, September 04, 2008

The assets of Ultimate Electronics were purchased by Mark Wattles (Ultimate Acquisition Partners) at auction. Key word "assets". You are are the creditor of a defunct company that had its assets auctioned off. Mark Wattles' company has zero obligation to you. You're claim should have been as a creditor in the bankruptcy proceedings. Now, I happen to know that Ultimate will try to assist if reasonably possible; but they only do it for customer relations and are under no legal obligation to do so. As an ex-employee I'm not particularly fond of Ultimate but it aggravates me when people think that the purchaser of the assets of a company has some inherent obligation to correct past dealings when they had nothing to do with the transaction and they had no monetary gain. The bankruptcy laws cleared the slate; accept it and move on.
