      I pay Pivotal solutions over $90 a month fir my home warranty. I called to have my furnace cleaned. The first time the appointment was between 8am and 10am. When they didn't show I called they said it was 8am to 12pm. I told them I write it down. I couldn't wait, my husband had pneumonia and was going to hospital, rescheduled 2 weeks later for 8am to 12pm. No one showed, I called. She said it was for 1pm to 3pm. I had a 2pm MRI appt so I couldn't wait. ***** kept putting me on hold for 10 minutes at a time, she thought I was stupid. I rescheduled again but this time if they mess up I'm going do something else to make them well known. Shame on them. They take my money every month but don't show up cuz my appointment is paid for, they're going where they make more money. The employees are terrible too. These young kids today think we're stupid. If I didn't have to go to an appointment I'd wait on the phone forever to answer the survey after my call but she wouldn't hang up. She knew she was wrong.

      I noticed a charge on my Nicor bill for pivotal home solutions - I dont want to pay for this and didnt sign up for this. From what Ive been reading its hard to cancel - not much cooperation from this business in canceling accounts - I will try cancelling but one person said they cancelled and the bill was turned over to a collection agency - frankly this is illegal - I would like the Illinois attorney general to intervene - Ill send them an email

      The water heater I rented was from Columbia Home Solutions, the water Heater Lease Agreement was signed on 10/24/13. The agreement stated that it is between *****************************. D/B/A Columbia Home Solutions, a ********************. The price of the water heater was $816.51 including the total installed price. The payment was set at $20.19 per month. They have changed the payment to $23.38 per month, this was not the agreement. The company wants me to pay an additional $806.97 to buy outright. In the past when I rented a water heater from Columbia Home Solutions, they used to automatically always give the depreciated, I did not continue making rental payments after the cost of the rental price was paid and the additional service charge was set to be paid five years after the five years, they refunded me any overpayment that I had Made. As of today, I have had the company over $2,480 for 11 years. The name of this company has changed several times. 1. ****************************/ D.B.A. ************ The rental charge was added to gas bills. After the name change the company started billing me. 2. Pivotal Home Solutions 3. American Home Solutions 4. Oncourse Home Solutions The email, I received from the company to Buy outright the water heater is $806.97 I MUST sign in return to them before 12/19/2024 this is unacceptable.I appreciate all of your help and advice.

      This company is the worst to work with. I was on hold for over an hour on Nov. *******. They couldn't resolve the problem with the *** servicing me, so they said they would call back in 2-3 hours. The problem is that this Company continues to bill a deceased property owner after ***eated notices to cancel the policy and notification the property was sold. In speaking with them on Nov. 18, 2024, they acknowledged cancellation notification in August (covered property was sold on July 8, 2024), but they didn't decide to accept the cancellation until November 1, 2024. Since when does a company get to decide if they will accept a customer's cancellation request? They continuing to bill the deceased homeowner for the time between August and November 1st for services they had no obligation to perform once the property was sold. I want this charge removed and I want the policy cancelled IMMEDIATELY.

      I filed a service request with Oncourse through ************************ on about September 10, 2024 for a leaking water main line to my house. After waiting for a couple of weeks, I was finally approved to find my own contractor since I live in a fairly rural area. after finding a contractor and getting on their schedule, I finally had the water line replaced on 10/21/2024. On 10/22/2024, I filled the paperwork for reimbursement of my payment to the contractor exactly as they had requested.On 10/24/2024, I called to verify that Oncourse had received the paperwork and I was told that they had and it took ***** hours to process the paperwork. On 10/29, I called and was now told they HAD NOT received the paperwork so I emailed it again. Finally, I received an email on 11/5/2024 saying they had the paperwork and it would not take 4-6 weeks to process the claim."Claim Reimbursement ?You ?Good Afternoon,We have received your paperwork for your reimbursement. Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing.Thank you."I have since tried to resolve this with ********* H on Yelp messaging to no avail. They appear to have no interest to reimburse me or process this claim.

      I am rejecting this response because: I was told on 12/9 if I had the correct paperwork returned that day (their mistake on the paperwork) I would receive a direct deposit that week. The paperwork was submitted that same day (with received receipt) but not forwarded to be processed until 12/12. I still have not received a direct deposit as of 12/18 so once again 10 days since I was promised a deposit.

      I want 1 month free that a supervisor promised me due to the poor service I was receiving, and I also want Reimbursement for the appliances I bought that are covered under their program ($400 per appliance when the service provider deems the appliance irreparable), per our agreement. Pivotal sent me a Waiver/form to sign and have indicated that I cannot get reimbursed unless I sign it. However, they are asking me to lie on it. The waiver says "the customer agrees that he/she, without the help of Pivotal Home Solutions, *************** or its affiliates, selected the contractor(s) or service provider(s) (the "Contractor") to be used, or previously used, to resolve this Claim." This is not a true statement. Pivotal Home Solutions selected and sent the service provider to my home. I don't want to sign something that makes me lie. It concerns me with what theyll do with that document, potentially denying me reimbursement. My washer, dishwasher, and dryer have had to be replaced in this past month. I opened claims in Aug 2024 and spent MONTHS trying to get an answer (seeking to understand what's happening with the repairs after providers came and left without fixing). After many calls and LONG hold times, someone finally someone said they were deemed irreparable. I waited 1.5 hours on hold and got a supervisor one time. She agreed the situation had been handled poorly and offered me a month for free (~$120). Now they have no record of that. Every time I call, no supervisor is available. The person on the phone says a supervisor will call me back and they leave my information. No supervisor has EVER called me back. This is probably at least 8 to 10 times I've been told this. I'm not getting any results. Please help. This seems unethical. Meanwhile I'm expected to continue paying $120/month. I need help to resolve this situation and hopefully stop my contract with them once theyve paid me. I want $120 off bill + $400/each for my washer, dishwasher, dryer.

      A year ago I got my new bill from this company and the price had quadrupled. I cancelled my services instantly and even told them that they were double billing me for the very same thing. I was told multiple times they would fix it. It was just a glitch in the machine and they were sorry to see me go. Now, over a year later, they hit my bank account for $203.88 with no email notice, no text notice, no snail mail notice, no idea of what it is for or why they are even billing me since I cancelled all their services. Sadly I didn't catch it for a week and my bank has already paid it. Now I went into their web site (************************) and it says I still have 3 open accounts. They only closed 1. And 2 are still the same double billing for the very same thing. And nothing anywhere adds up to the amount that they took out of my bank account but their system will not allow me to even try to cancel again until I give them my customer ID number. I don't have that because I never got a bill and even with me being able to get in online that is the one thing they do not have online so you have to contact them. When you contact them it's not a CHAT even if it says CHAT. All it is was a send us a message box. So now I am out the money, they still have 3 open accounts on me that I can't close because I don't have an account number and they are still taking from my bank account and I can't speak to anyone to fix it!

      Complaint: 22557712

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I have now heard from them twice in voice mail. First time said they would close out the accounts and send a refund within 15 days.
      No refund has been seen or mentioned except then and here in their response to you. No refund has ever been calculated or arrived
      here and I sure don't trust them to ever do it if I close this out. And that same first time they said they would close it out ****. Then
      I got an email saying they would close the accounts out on December 20th, 2024. When I responded and asked WHY they were
      waiting until December 20th I was asked to state all my information to prove I was me, which I did, then I never heard back from them
      again until I just got this wonderful postcard in the mail (which is amazing they could send me an email like a normal client and a postcard
      as a normal client NOW but didn't bother before they hit my bank form money) and this postcard says they don't have a form of payment
      on hand so they are going to cut off my services as of 1/2/25. Now if my services have already been closed out how are they going to 
      close out anything as of 1/2/25. I went in online to CHAT with someone and ask and they asked me if they dropped their services down to
      only 50% of these new horribly inflated amounts would I STAY as their customer? I told him HECK NO Not with the way their treat their
      customers! That was a week ago after I got this postcard. So until I get the refund I don't believe a dang thing they say. I don't think they
      are reputable enough for me to believe they will ever do it if I close this case. I also have seen how many complaints and cases and
      bad reviews they have gotten in the last year. After stealing from so many of their customers like me I think they are in big big trouble. The
      15 days has come and gone and I have seen nothing in the way of a calculated amount, nothing in the way of the refund they promised 
      the first time and nothing other then this letter to you that they had ever finally maybe closed the accounts.

      Complaint: 22557712

      I am rejecting this response because: I have received 4 calls from these people since this all started almost a month
      ago. The first time they called they told me I would be receiving a letter in the next month showing all my accounts
      were closed. I have received that in their responses to you a couple times so I do appreciate that. But on the first
      call when I was speaking to them they also told me I would be receiving my refund in 15 days. I know that because
      I thought it was weird that I would be getting the refund before they could send me the letter saying my accounts 
      were closed but at least I would have it all in 30 days. It's now been almost that 30 days and 3 more calls later, I
      am still NOW hearing that the refunds actually take 30 to 60 days and the time frame is 30 to 60 days from each
      time they call, including the message they left this week. Why would it still be 30 to 60 days now when we are 30
      days later? It should at least be within the next 30 days, right? ****. As of this week it will still be 30 to 60 days.
      I don't believe they ever plan to send the refund. If so why tell me 15 days when your talking to me originally and
      now be constantly insisting on using the same 30 to 60 days from now? It seems like they are just drawing this all
      out for me to agree and they can drop it all instantly. I just want it all behind me before I agree to anything. Closing
      the accounts should have been the easy, takes 30 seconds part. They have repeatedly told me how much the refund
      will be so they already have it figured. Why haven't they simply sent it out to close this all out? I don't believe they ever
      plan to pay it or it would have been here in that 15 days like they said originally. 

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Just as I was afraid of the check for the refund FINALLY arrived today. It wasn't even mailed until December 26th.
      And 3 times they told me in voice mails that the amount of the refund would be $235.81. Instead the check arrived
      and it's only for $48.69! So again they are ripping me off to keep almost $200 of my money that they do not deserve
      with their gosh awful business practices and since I had to go through with all of this to get it closed and get my
      refund. The closure was 5 weeks ago. and the refund some how magically is only $48.69. I have attached a copy
      of the refund check they sent and that I got today. Along with the last note I have with the $235.81 amount that I
      recorded as I was writing down their December 17th call information. They seem to be upset that I am not able
      to sit around and wait on their calls with no clue when that will happen. I Have to work to pay my bills. And for them
      to turn around an offer to drop the price 50% if I will just stay and they can keep my money??? I knew they were
      going to try something. And of course it is the money. This company couldn't be any scummier.

      Complaint: 22557712

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I am not sure if anyone actually reads these or if it all just goes though A.I. but amazingly enough
      they never speak of the amounts in writing. 3 times I was called at my work number and left the
      same message over and over again. The same computer generated junk they put in the reply to
      the BBB except when they are leaving the message they repeatedly said the amount of the refund
      would be over $200. When the check did finally show up several weeks ago it was for $40! Which
      is what I expected from a company that does such horrible customer relations as to quadruple the
      billing amounts and then give you absolutely no mailed, emailed, or phone notice that this was 
      not only quadrupled but it was going to hit your bank without any warning. Now they want to respond
      to the BBB with the very same lame garbage over and over and over with out ever once mentioning
      what happened to the refund amount and why. So they want me to call them and talk about it? Are
      you kidding me? I tried repeatedly to call and to chat. All I got was TOO BAD SO SAD FOR YOU
      and HEY if we drop it down 50% (so that we only DOUBLE your BILLING with no notice) Will you
      stay??? I said HECK NO AND HUNG  UP. I see no reason to waste my time calling them. And
      all they want to do is call my work number and leave this same lame stuff they are leaving you
      hear but that the refund will be $2??.??. And I am not going to bother to go pull the file to find 
      out exactly what that was not. There is no reason to bother. The BBB isn't going to ask them about
      it and they are too scummy to ever explain the refund dropping down to 20% of what I was told
      repeatedly. But my credit bureau will not let their charges come through again so there is at least
      that. Look at their BBB rating and their reviews. They rip off everyone. Why are they allowed to stay
      in business? 

      Sincerely,

      The company is charging me monthly through my bank. I have contacted them and they give me false information. I no longer use their service since I sold the house a year ago. I would like to be compensated for a year plus have them take me of of my bank monthly charges.
