Wow! The "Companies" only bought assets of "Technologies" and none of the liabilities. And ... "Companies" also went out of business. It seems nobody is responsible for anything.Well, I received a response from 057 Companies LLC. They are holding zero responsibility and stated they are out of business.
So someone is screwing someone. I am definitely in the screwed category.
Sounds really fishy. 057 Technologies, LLC and 057 Companies, LLC are different entities...
Ok....?
The mystery continues - Thank you Ccalahan for your research and perseverance in this matter.

i'm not involved in this but def saw this coming lolWell, I received a response from 057 Companies LLC. They are holding zero responsibility and stated they are out of business.
no good business (that's still in business) would be this silent..
but at least this proves that Companies did buy something from Technologies (i wasn't convinced)
sad all around
almost sounds like some loophole to get out of liability, although there's always Chapter 11...
Thus is very fishy. The companies filed on 6/6/23 and then went out of business in September! It only bought certain assets but not actually acquired the tech, yet it registered 057companies as an DNS alias as 057tech (resolved to the same IP address), who will do that? Are they aware this event ?
Yet the whole time the website hasn't change much until earlier this year it updated the contract terms after it went out of business... who will do that and again are they aware of the update?
This is the web archive of the warranty page from March 2023 which was in effect in April 2023 when I bought my plan with 6+ months to go before my Tesla warranty expired in Oct 2023
I also saved it as a pdf in case the web archive is somehow hacked into.

Well, this contradicts everything Jason Hughes has told us. Incredible.I had previously decided to just quit tagging him, but this plot twist has changed my mind.
@wk057
It's no wonder Hughes kept referring to an NDA. There's two possibilities: either Hughes is outright lying or Keith Baker & Julian Reid are lying. I'm inclined to believe Baker & Reid at the moment only because they're communicating with TN DCA. I mean, I thought it odd that the entire staff under Hughes had left. This is adding credibility to the idea of the new owners buying the company with hopes of another DOD-type windfall.

It's seems the Consumer Specialist is only passing messages. They don't seem to be doing anything to help the consumer.Another response yesterday from the amazing people at 057 Companies LLC.First is my response and then theirs.

What a jerk response by Julian Reid, btw.
Again, I suggest anyone with an 057 Service Plan fill out the TN DCA form located here with instructions.
As for recourse: it is now obvious, despite what Hughes had sworn up and down while threatening members with legal action, that no one is going to get service. This business spans two states, with national customers. What a mess. I'm admittedly ignorant of the law, so would appreciate any input. At this point, chargeback seems to me to be the best option to not involve us organizing lawyers and waiting months/years to resolve. Suggestions?

That is correct. That is all they can do at this point - getting them involved has gotten us further. Thank you @ccalahan. I imagine with more pressure, other avenues could open up. I mean I'd be ecstatic to even know that 057's TN Tax ID Number had a hold placed on it at this point. Anything.
A jerk response? Maybe. It depends on who is telling the truth here. I'm trying to wrap my head around this information but it sort of sounds like these guys are claiming they just bought a few things from 057tech, like their lifts or something.

I think it’s a pretty haste response. They would be singing a different tune if the shoes were swapped. I guarantee that. We’ve been left in the dark, no legit answers to my online ticket requests, website was still active for quite some time. It’s just all a bunch of shady sh!t IMO.

I was fine with it until the final sentence:
"I would suggest that Mr. Calahan research the difference between an Asset Purchase Agreement, vs. a Company Acquisition."
That doesn't seem like something a consumer needs to know, esp when there's an active site maintaining that the Service Plans are valid.

Stemming from a private conversation:
None of us woke up one day thinking, "I gotta screw over Jason Hughes." Hughes sold the company with active service plans (some a few months old; at least one that hadn't even activated yet) and was complicit in not making anyone aware of this. Hughes even continued to participate in TMC as-if things were status quo - yet it seems neither he nor his employees may have been working with the current 057. According to Julian Reid, Hughes' idea of what 057 is (not was, but is), has not existed since June 2023 and that there were no plans for it.
Now, the current owners are finally responding (only due to the Department of Consumer Affairs' involvement, no less) and implying that everything Hughes told us the past few months was a lie. Not sure I buy that either, and think both parties are failing to tell the truth. No one here screwed Hughes - collaboratively, Hughes screwed his customers and subsequently his own reputation. And not for selling his company, but for what amounts to "buying time" for the current ownership. His song and dance prevented some that likely could have done so, from getting their money back quickly/easily. He should have just said, "sorry, I have no idea" instead of "hang tight, I'll see what I can do for you" and then threaten legal action on someone.
I'm sorry to anyone thinking we "drove him away" from TMC. The community inquired and Hughes gave us somewhat cryptic answers. Those never go over well on a forum. We reacted, then he postured and some of us postured back bc we surmised that was our only option (and it feels/seems that it was to get any answers). Look at his activity, he had pretty much checked-out prior to this discovery anyways.

Sooo…. What happened to all the service plan funds?
What a total cluster F bomb.
Sounds like the company was never sold but only some equipment / assets.
