U.S. Fidelis and Credexx sued by states over auto policy tactics

U.S. Fidelis and Credexx are facing allegations from attorneys general from across the nation that they have been hawking extended auto warranties that allegedly in many cases were worthless.

Nine states -- Pennsylvania, Washington, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin -- are suing the now-bankrupt U.S. Fidelis for deceiving consumers into spending thousands of dollars on service contracts that many times didn't cover repairs.
