Homeserv has been over billing my checking account and not disclosing . When I called after several transactions of abuse. The rep stated they were trying to get manage of it . That the situation been month old and letters were sent out. I never received a letter , it appears to be happening to multiple customers, she said was glitch in new system. But if this situation why was a month old issue still overdrawing my account , as of 3 days ago I am still being double , triple quadruple billed? They refuse to expedite my refund nor provide any type of compensation for breach of my hard earned money. No where can you get access to someone else's money use it and not pay an interest for the use. Except when big corporate want to claim an error at the expense of little people.This is outrageous use of power and greed. My concern is they have been doing this for months or even years on small amounts .

My daughter & I used to be HomeServe customers for water and sewer exterior lines. We cancelled our Exterior Water & Exterior Sewer Lines Plans on 11/24/2023. We were promised a refund within 30 days, by 12/24/2023. On 12/9/2023 we received our Ext. Sewer Line Plan refund of $31.54 on 12/9/2023 on my **** . However, despite 4 phone calls to HomeServe Customer Service asking when we would receive the $96.27 refund for the Ext. Water Line Service Plan, as of 1/3/2024, 40 days after I cancelled the Ext. Water Line Plan...I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY REFUND! Francesca, Alecia, and Don in HomeServe Customer Svc. all assured me I'd be refunded on my **** (I pd. w/ a check, which was cashed by HomeServe on 11/2/2023). However, HomeServe is not honoring their word and is not expediting my long overdue legitimate refund. They need to credit my $96.27 to my **** right away, PLEASE!Customer Answer

Like I told Ms. *********, it’s a shame that I had to contact the BBB to get them to credit me with the money they owed me long after they promised I would receive it… no later than 11/24/2023. Only took them 13 (vs 41) days. I called her and let her know I’ve received it.

The company took money out of my checking account in December for about $126 which I did not authorize. I usually get the warranty every year and send in the payment but for some reason they took the money out without my authorization. For the last couple weeks I’ve been calling for a refund and they continue to lie to me and promised the refund will be processed in a couple days, And it has not been processed. I’ve called about 10 times and I keep getting lied to. I’m a senior citizen on a fixed income and I need this money but they will not refund it even though they continue to lie and say that it was already approved for the last 3 weeks. Can someone help me please because they are not refunding the money they illegally took out of my account without authorization? They need to refund my money as they promised.Business Response

I purchased exterior gas line insurance. On 11/6/23 we smelled gas near our meter. The gas company turned off our gas and took our meter at 8:30am on 11/6/23. I called 11/6/23 at 8:30a.m. to file a claim with HomeServe. The plumbing company could not come out until 11/7/23. We were given 4 times throughout the day on 11/7/23 when the plumber would arrive. The plumber finally arrived around 4:30pm. He repaired the outside gas pipe line at the meter that had the gas leak. He then did the pressure test. After the plumber determined the gas line was repaired and didn't have any other leaks he handed me a quote for $1,500 he said he wouldn't pull a permit and have the line inspected until I allowed them to get my hot water tank up to code. I told him we have a neighbor that is a plumber that could come over and install a purge line and sediment trap which is all the hot water tank needed. He said if I didn't let him do the work on the hot water tank that he wouldn't pull a permit and get the outside line inspected. We were now 2 days with no hot water or heat with kids in the home. The next morning we hired a plumber to come out he said that half the things the plumber said needed done to the hot water tank were not needed. We did not need a drain pan since the hot water tank is in an unfinished room so the cement floor is lower than the rest of the house. The vent pipe was up to code even though they said it wasn't. Even though I had insurance I had to pay the plumber I hired $125 to do a pressure test and $58 to pull a permit to inspect the outside gas line which should have been covered under my policy. They sent out a plumber who didn't complete the job without the permit and inspection I couldn't get my gas meter re-installed. I called homeserve multiple times telling them what the plumbing company was doing and they would not help me. I shouldn't have had to hire a plumber to pull a permit for work the company homeserve sent out did. I needed my gas turned back onBusiness Response

I had this warranty when it was under **** and I was happy with it and I'm not mad with it now but they have just made it harder to talk to someone and I have a situation where they are counseling my water flow holes going to my house. I am trying to find out how much did they raise the price up because they seem like they raised the drastically and I suspect it's because I had to use it but anyway I can't get anybody on the phone now I called and it just puts me on hold and never get anybody on the phoneBusiness Response

In September I received a solicitation from my water company for warranty coverage for the service line to my house. On 12/18/2023 I submitted a claim for a service line leak. They were very prompt, the same day I received a call from a local plumber who was out and verified the leak. The next day someone was out to detect exactly where the leak was. On 12/22/2023 a representative called the plumber to advise the policy covered the line from the meter to the shutoff valve, and she was submitting the cost estimate for approval. The same representative, Natasha, contacted me to advise of the same information. I also asked about hotel stay since I had no water and it would be some time still, she transferred me and I received confirmation that it is covered up to $1250. I subsequently spoke with the plumber and they remarked how surprised they were with the news. I then received a call that went to VM and a message was left that the policy did not cover the leak. I reached out to explain what we were both told and they still refused. I asked for it to be escalated and I was then contacted by another person on 12/28/2023. This person maintained the denial and said they had the call and listened to it, but her language indicated otherwise; saying “that’s not what the representative would have said.” If I had initially been told it was not covered I would have moved on, but the representative contacted me to say that said it was covered, and for them to contact me days later to tell me the contrary is unacceptable. They are claiming that the repair is ‘inside’ and therefore not covered. Their own website suggests the contrary.Customer Answer

After I made the initial submission I thought I would be contacted by someone from BBB to discuss the issue and provide more detail.
This is an excerpt of the HomeServe website regarding the Exterior Coverage Plus policy. This is in addition to the recorded call (on their end) I received from their representative notifying me that my policy, likely because it was contracted through the water utility company, covered the repair. This occurred after she had called The Plumbing Company, whom HomeServe had contracted to do the initial inspection and locate of the leak, to notify them of the coverage.Business Response

In January of 2023 I made a service request to homeserv due to my furnace not working. The repairman came said he had to order a part, waited a week and heard nothing. I contacted homeserv again and was told awaiting parts. I waited another week and was given the same answer. This is January freezing cold weather no heat. Waited another week and was given same answer and told I could be reimbursed to buy space heaters, really after 3 weeks. Finally in the 4th week the part arrived. Technician said he suggested replacing the furnace but was denied. I called homeserv and they stated only replaced parts. I requested my account be canceled. Now in November an ach was taken from my account for this service. I called and was told cancelation in January was never submitted. I canceled then and have been waiting a month for my refund.

Reported an initial clogged toilet on December 16, 2023.
HomeServe finally escalated the service ticket to accept my service request from a technician from ***** ******* on or around December 21, 2023.
The technician encountered extreme difficulty trying to resolve my clogged drain and made several attempts which included ultimately going on my roof to eliminate the clogged drain. The technician repeatedly needed consulted with a manager and was told he may need to return another day. The technician and ultimately tried another approach which did clear the toilet but subsequently caused a problem with now the kitchen sink and laundry lines. This problem was reported immediately following this initial service visit.
Clearly visible to the naked eye is the soot which has backed up in my sink and standing water is now sitting in my washing machine, I have indicated to HomeServe that once again I indicated that this prior service visit has resulted in an additional drainage issue. Based on this another service call was made and accepted by both * * * ******** [subsequently cancelled without notice] and later dispatched to the same contractor ***** ******* on Tuesday, December 26, 2023.
The technician with ***** ******* has indicated that he was unable to resolved the problem and after consulting with the manager; he indicated that the company would need to notify HomeServe and receive an approval to replace the entire drain line that connects the kitchen sink and washer.
Today is Sunday, December 31, 2023 and I have called repeatedly to as for an update on my service request and have been met with repeated stonewalling of your company has not received any updates from ***** ******* and therefore unable to proceed further.
The two primary contractors assigned to this claim have repeatedly failed to resolve my claim and has in fact cause additional damage and inconvenience of my household and all without any intervention nor resolution from HomeServe.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: The technicians indicated that stoppage has been resolved when in fact it only appears to resurface in another area of my home. My initial report for Home Serve was for a stoppage of a toilet; the repair technician remedy resulted in pushing the stoppage to another sewer line resulting in a problem with the kitchen sink and overflow to my washing machine. Subsequently, two weeks later there is once again gurgling in my toilet when the other toilet in my home is flushed. The remedy was told to replace the sewer line; however the new technician declined to install or replace the sewer line and proceeded to rod the sewer lines. Visible was the reason for the blockage which was never removed but appears to just be moving to different various areas of the sewer lines.

In response
to this complaint, a member of HomeServe’s Office of the President (“OTP”) reviewed the relevant
account details. The OTP representative tried to reach Ms. ****** multiple
times on January 24, 2024, leaving a voicemail and sending an email to prompt a
return call. Another attempt to call Ms. ****** was made on January 25, 2024,
but her voicemail was full, preventing the OTP representative from leaving a
message. We encourage Ms. ****** to get in touch with HomeServe should she
continue to experience problems with her Sewer Septic Line.

appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and giving us the

My ********** was charged by Homeserve three times for the amount of $143.88, once on 11/17/2023, again on December 20, 2023 and again on December 31, 2023. I’ve made numerous calls but have been unable to speak with a manager to get my money refunded. Even though I’ve had this warranty contract more than 6 years Homeserve has deleted my payment history.
Per phone, the representatives can not see where my payments are. I relayed to Homeserve that I did not want automatic renewal but apparently they stored my credit card information because they have charged it two times in December in error. I had no need to authorize payments in December because I had made the annual payment in November. But, Homeserve cannot find those payments.
I’m asking the three payments be refunded to me. I plan to cancel this warranty.Business Response

I notified Homeserve on January 10, 2024, that HomeServe had made TWO refunds to my ********** account. One for the disputed amount of $431.64 which is the correct amount I wanted refunded.
The second refund from HomeServe posted to my ********** on January 10, 2024 (same day), was for $413.16. I emailed HomeServe on January 10,2024 to ask if the second refund of $413.16 was another correction of some kind. I did receive the following reply from HomeServe on January 10, 2024, "I am checking on the additional refund received of $413.16 now".
As of January 13, 2024, I have not received an explanation for the second refund. I don't know how to proceed with this complaint as HomeServe has not provided any information about the second refund of $413.16.
