If you have not exceeded the limits of the warranty and it expired only because the company dissolved, then you have a breach of contract claim. The obvious issue is collectability. With an out of state, possibly defunct company, there are not many options a private lawyer can help you with. Your best choice may be to contact the Maine Attorney General�s Consumer Affairs Division. They may have heard similar complaints and they may also have the contact information. Maine may require a warranty company to be licensed and the consumer advocate can tell you that.
