# Vehicle service contract cancellation packets

Prepare and mail an extended car warranty, GAP, or dealer add-on cancellation and refund request packet with PostalForm.

## How it works
1. **Choose the add-on being canceled, such as a vehicle service contract, GAP product, prepaid maintenance plan, or tire-and-wheel plan.** - 
2. **Enter buyer, vehicle, contract, refund, and mailing-recipient details.** - 
3. **Upload the controlling contract pages and any required provider form or mileage proof, plus optional buyer paperwork and correspondence.** - 
4. **Preview the generated cancellation packet, add optional dealer or lender copy recipients, and mail with Certified Mail proof.** -


## Form summary
Vehicle Service Contract Cancellation Packets helps car buyers turn a dealership add-on cancellation into a clear written packet. The workflow generates a signed cancellation letter, contract summary, attachment index, and record page, then lets the buyer mail the packet by Certified Mail to the administrator and optional dealer or lender copy recipients.

## What you need
- Buyer name, mailing address, contact details, and signature
- Vehicle year, make, model, VIN, purchase date, and current mileage
- Product type, provider or administrator, contract number, purchase price, selling dealer, and lender if financed
- Cancellation mailing address from the contract, provider website, dealer paperwork, or administrator instructions
- The contract pages showing the product, contract number, cancellation instructions, refund language, and administrator address
- Confirmation that mailed copies are accepted and that no original document, notarization, portal-only step, or missing provider form is required
- Contract or add-on agreement pages (required) — Attach the controlling pages showing the product name, contract number, cancellation instructions, refund language, and administrator or cancellation address. Send copies and keep the originals.
- Buyer's order, purchase agreement, or retail installment contract (optional) — Attach pages showing the vehicle purchase, add-on charge, dealer, lender, or loan reference when helpful.
- Odometer statement or mileage photo (optional) — Attach mileage proof if the contract, administrator, or dealer asks for it.
- Provider cancellation form (optional) — Attach a completed administrator cancellation form if one is required or available.
- Dealer, lender, or administrator correspondence (optional) — Attach emails, letters, refund-status notes, or prior cancellation attempts that explain the request.

## Data collected
- Buyer name, contact details, mailing address, and signature
- Vehicle year, make, model, VIN, purchase date, and current mileage
- Product type, provider, contract number, purchase price, dealer, lender, and loan reference when available
- Cancellation recipient mailing address and optional dealer or lender copy addresses
- Refund or loan-credit instructions, desired effective date, follow-up date, and supporting attachments

## Where it gets mailed
You will enter the recipient address during checkout.

## Packet order
- Cover page
- Cancellation and refund request letter
- Contract and vehicle summary
- Exhibit index
- Sender record and follow-up page
- Uploaded contract pages, forms, odometer proof, and correspondence

## Common mistakes
- Mailing only a short note without the contract number, VIN, buyer details, and requested cancellation outcome.
- Sending the request to the selling dealer when the contract names a separate administrator or cancellation address.
- Forgetting to ask for written confirmation and a refund or loan-credit calculation.
- Sending original paperwork instead of copies unless the contract specifically requires originals.
- Moving to checkout before reviewing the generated packet and exhibit order.

## Agent summary
Collect the buyer, vehicle, dealer add-on contract, cancellation recipient, refund preference, signature, optional dealer/lender copy recipients, and supporting attachments needed to prepare a mailed auto add-on cancellation and refund request packet.

- Endpoint: `POST /api/forms/vehicle-service-contract-cancellation/drafts`
- Payload: `{ fields: { ... }, attachments: [{ id, label, base64 }] }`
- Required fields: product_type, request_type, buyer_name, sender_email, buyer_address, vehicle_year, vehicle_make, vehicle_model, vin, purchase_date, current_mileage, provider_name, contract_number, recipient_name, recipient_address_line1, recipient_city_state_zip, refund_destination, dealer_recipient_name, dealer_address_line1, dealer_city_state_zip, lender_recipient_name, lender_address_line1, lender_city_state_zip, buyer_signature, signature_date, contract_instructions_acknowledged, preview_acknowledged
- Attachment IDs: contract_pages, buyers_order_or_purchase_agreement, odometer_statement_or_photo, provider_cancellation_form, dealer_lender_correspondence
- Notes: This workflow prepares a mailed cancellation and refund request packet for auto dealership add-ons. It does not decide whether a contract is cancelable, calculate a refund, replace provider-specific cancellation forms, provide legal advice, or guarantee that the administrator, dealer, lender, or insurer will approve the request.
