Company took $38.22 from account mistakenly on 4-22-25 one month after quarterly payment made of 41.97 on 3-17-25. Have called company and they told me that there was a billing glitch and that there would be a refund of the money within 10 business days. The refund did not come within 10 business days and then the second person I talked to told me that the refund did not go through and redid the refund for an additional 16.78. The second person told me to call back on 5-6-25 if the money had not been transferred. As with the first time, the money had not been transferred by the time given by the representative. I called back on 5-7-25 and was told that there had been an error on the refund amount. Someone had put in $32.88 instead of $38.22. On the call on 5-7-25 the representative again assured me that the refund was showing that it had been processed and that the money should be in the account within 5 business days. I am truly getting tired of the runaround and different representatives telling me different things. My next quarterly payment for this insurance is not due until 6-17-25.

Our monthly bill for services is $36.98 charged to our credit card. 8 credit card charges were made to our account in a 6 month period. I want a 2 month refund applied to our credit card account. I sent documentation to the company in late January 2025.showing 5 charges in 3 months. I heard nothing back from them. I called 2-10-2025 and was told by Kenneth,a service representative, that they would extend the payments so that my next payment would be due April 25,2025.My April credit card statement shows 2 more charges on 3-25-2025 and 3-26-2025. I also went online and found another charge for April 25, 2025. I tried to call the company many times to speak to someone in the billing department. I was put on hold, transferred to another agent , put on hold again. In all I spoke to 8 agents. The last person I spoke with told me that agents were not able to transfer me to the billing department. I feel I was given the run-around. On Wednesday May 4,2025 I resent the above documents to ******************. This time I did receive an email reply (May 2, 2025) that they had received the documents and they were forwarded to the appropriate party. I do not want to have the company extend our service as that did not work well in January.Customer Answer

On Tuesday, April 29, 2025 the entire are suffered what has been called an "unprecedented" storm of excessive winds, storms, etc. As a result we had our power lines and pole ripped off of our house along with some other damage. We were without power for approximately 48 hours. We were also without tv and internet for 7 days. Having never been through this type of event we were unaware that the homeowner is responsible to pay for the lines to be reconnected to the house and the pole that had been ripped down fixed and replaced. When the event occurred we were not even able to contact our power company, **** **** *****, and had to made a report thru our 911 county system. We went without power and on the second day a utility person told us that it was our responsibility to get an electrician to the house. We called one who came and tried to scam us into paying over $11,000 to get the repairs and telling us we needed a new electrical panel. A second one came and fixed the issue for $1,575. My insurance carrier told me to check with my power company and then I was reminded that I pay for line coverage. I contacted Home Serve and spoke to Samone who told me I did have coverage but they would not pay because I had called my own electrician. She actually wanted me to tell the two men working to get us up and running to quit and she would then put in a request for service. I obviously told her that was not something I could do. I requested any type of reimbursement and she declined. This was an EMERGENCY and considering the circumstances I believe I am due compensation for the money spent out of pocket. My insurance did cover everything but my $1,000 deductible so I am asking to recover that expense from Home Serve. I have receipts the work was done and my insurance carrier inspected the work. I pay monthly for this service/coverage without fail. Please refund me.Business Response

I contacted homeserve because there was a sewer smell, it has since went away, and to my surprise I was told I had internal and external plumming and that some how it got canceled in March 9th 2025, due to processing of payment issues, they did advised however that I have the following service in good standing HEATING, COOLING, ELECTRIC SURGE, WATER/HEATER REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT, EXTERNAL ELECTRIC, INTERNAL ELECTRIC, EXTERNAL SEWER, ..I am confused as to why if all these other services were paid for why this one lapsed. I called and spoke with Homeserve and was transferred to a department, and spoke with casey, I explained to Casey the situation and that I was not aware that the internal plumbing was canceled. Casey placed me on hold said he was going to speak with his manager to waive the 30-day waiting period. when he returned to the phone after 10 10-minute hold time, he said he got it approved. 25 minutes into the call he said he needed to double-check with his manager to see about the 30 waiting period to make sure, he came back after another 10 minutes of hold time. He said he was mistaken, at this point this was customer abuse, I don't believe that he even spoke to a manager he was simply abusing the hold time system, at 35 minutes into the call after being lied to I ask to speak with his manager, he said the manager will tell you the same thing, I said that is fine. Still, you constantly put me on hold and have wasted my time and I need to speak with a manager after another 20 minutes of holding casey hung up on me. my husband was conferenced in on the call and was a witness. I know you record the calls the call started at around 12:50PM central time this is unacceptable.Business Response

My name is ****** ******* and I’ve been a Home Serve (“Home Serve”) customer since 2017 for my property located at ** ********* ****** in ******* **. I am writing this complaint regarding a plumbing repair that I was supposed to be reimbursed on my Home Serve who has since refused to pay the claim. The nature of the plumbing claim is explained in the attached letter.
After Home Serve denied my coverage claim, they cancelled my coverage plans without giving me any notice. Per the terms & conditions of my policy, they are required to provide me at least 60 days' notice if they choose to cancel my coverage thus the cancellation was a retilatory act by Home Serve which must be reinstated immediately.Business Response

I filed a claim for the tech protection plan after my phone screen broke and was black and shattered. Job number ***********T. I noticed 2-3 weeks after the repair that the cellphone was constantly going black and had to power it off and back on constantly in order to come back up. I contacted the repair company and they suggested I reach homeserve due to their guarantee on repairs. I been trying to get this resolved since February. Couple weeks ago spoke with Susan who said she will help resolve my claim and try to get me a resolution. I’ve called multiple times in the last two weeks and just get the run around and get transferred everywhere. I’m irritated with the fact that they can’t get me a repair and I’ve been paying for the plan.Business Response

In 2023, I entered into a service contract for my home's heating (boiler) and cooling (central air)
units with HomeServe. I agreed to the Premier Heat and Cool Plus contract which included yearly
tune-ups to both heating and cooling units. Traditionally, the tune-ups would be done via separate
appointments, as indicated in my service history. Unbeknownst to me, HomeServe has recently changed their procedures to now require the tune-ups be done via the same appointment. My cooling unit (central air) was last serviced for a tune-up on April 11, 2024. My heating unit (gas boiler) was last serviced for a tune-up on September 4, 2024. Notably, ONLY the boiler was serviced during that appointment though the service history indicates both the heating and cooling tune-up was performed that date. On April 30, 2024, I contacted HomeServe to schedule the tune-up for my cooling unit. I was advised that tune-ups would now be combined and I had already used my tune-up appointment for the current contract period. The rep advised I would have to wait until 2026 (tune-up appointments can only be scheduled between March 1-June1) to schedule the next tune-up appointment. Despite my explanation that the cooling unit was not touched in September 2024, and this was the first I learned of combined appointments, the rep denied my request. I requested to see the September 2024 work order and was denied. I requested to speak to a supervisor and was denied.Business Response
