Re: construction Arbitration Services
Posted by house owner on 4/25/06

    I had 2-10 HBW as a home warranty that my builder used. CAS
    was named in the policy book as who would do arbitration. I
    was able to avoid arbitration without having to get into the
    argument about whether i was bound by the clause, since I
    didn't buy the policy myself, the builder did. The way i
    got out of it was the Code of Federal Regulations, title 24,
    section 203.204g. I got this information from
    http://www.hadd.com a home owners adcocacy organization.

    Considering how this company (HBW) tried to deny and delay
    my claim, I have no doubt that their arbitration process
    would've been very unfair. Because I did get out of their
    arbitration, I was able to settle with the builder. I have
    since read of other people who weren't so fortunate, who had
    to arbitrate with CAS.

    It is true that CAS is owned by Marshall Lippman, a
    disbarred attorney. I checked out those claims with bar
    associations, I believe it was both DC and NY, and it is
    there. Also, Lippman has been listed as an agent/owner of
    CAS all along on the TX state site that has a way to
    research corporations. Now they have moved to Michigan.

    Lester Wolff was involved with HOW, an old warranty co set
    up by I believe the Nat. Assoc. of Home Builders. That
    organization (HOW) was investigated in I think the 90's, for
    it was also biased. IMO all these home warranty companies
    are protecting builders, not home owners. They offer a home
    buyer a sense that they have a real warranty backed by
    insurance, but all they really do is make your claim more
    complicated, and potentially allow a builder off the hook.
