I have been trying since March 2022 to get an appointment to check up on my air conditioner. They have canceled three times. When I call their call center they refuse to let me speak to a manager. One of their customer service reps actually hung up on me. This company is HORRIFIC. I would like a refund of the last six months of payments that I have made and gotten zero service, despite approximately 8 phone calls attempting to arrange it.Business Response

I have a home warranty with this company (aka American Home Solutions), I always received bills monthly starting in April(contract renewal) and I paid every month(different amounts but typically over $100 every payment). In November 2021 I was having problem with my thermostat so I called them to set up an appointment to have a company out.The *** (never are given names when asked)said my account was in FINAL DEMAND and they would not send out a repair until it was paid in full.Prior to this phone call I had mailed another $105 payment but it wasn't showing to her.The *** stated I could make a $200 payment with her and clear up the balance.I was confused, I asked why my account was in this status since I make payments every month?She stated I wasn't on a monthly payment plan, to which I asked since when?Since joining this (it was originally handled by Bay State Gas)I have made monthly payments and never received any notices.She said there was nothing she could do until it was paid. I waited until my $105payment cleared then mailed check for the remaining balance.I called to schedule an appointment for my thermostat but also told the *** I wanted to be on a payment plan the following year when it was up for renewal.The *** said she changed account to monthly payments and I had my thermostat repaired.Early April 2022, I received the first bill from this company and again it showed the full balance due.I called numerous times but kept getting disconnected, I asked for a manager every phone call but was told none were available.In late April I called again,spoke to another *** she told me she would switch the account to installments.I received another bill but not payment plan! May 2022,I called spoke to *** working from home she told me again it was going to installments.She gave me a first payment and monthly payment amounts.Never received anything so did a live chat with a ****** who confirmed the payments,said issue was resolved.Not at all!Now told no monthly planBusiness Response

Complaint: 17812027
I am rejecting this response because: yes a representative from AHS (****) has called me and left messages, but I have returned every one of his phone calls and left voicemails. **** (does not leave a last name) does not return my calls. I am in business so I am not always available when he calls but I do return every phone call received. If this representative would like to give me a time to call him back I would gladly call at the scheduled time.As far as the payments, as I stated in my original complaint, I spoke to numerous representatives as well as did a "chat" session (which I attached to original complaint), and they said I would be put on a payment plan. So for AHS to say they have no record of this is ridiculous, and they are now suspending my account! With all of this going on all spring/summer, I had issues with my AC during the hottest stretches seen in the New England area for some time. I am a 75 year old man who was dealing with temperatures inside my house some days above 90 degrees! As you can imagine every HVAC company was weeks out for appointments, but I finally had to pay out of my own pocket for my AC to be repaired. So why would I want to pay anything at all to this company after what I had to endure!

I found out I was paying for a service I did not sign up for , for last 16 years and 2 months . I never paid attention to **** just paid it until I received help from city for utilities and was still receiving a charge. I called on July 15th and was told there was nothing for my address or account then after 20 mins. The representative had to get a manager to try to help find the account. When she got back on she said it was for an address I did not live in at the time service was started. I had bought and moved into my house before service supposedly started. I said why would I get service for an apartment building I did not own or live in at that time? So it was sent to their escalating department I was told three days waited weeks called back was told they called and closed account cause I didn't answer. I asked why no one left message and found they called the wrong number the one that was on the account and not the number I gave them. It was sent back to the escalating department again with correct number and I received a call and the person only offered me 2 years and tried to make it as I did this I stated I can prove I bought my house and never owned that building when service started but he was not listening kept saying I can only give 2 yrs so I said no thanks have a good day and hung up. I told others of this issue they too have found they have been charged for years also with out knowing and were offered same thing. One was offered 3 years for 21 years he was paying for and did not authorize, this is not acceptable. We want all the money back. They owe me $1,154.30. I canceled and still am being charged on my nicor bill for this service also.Business Response

***************************False I was told several times there was no account under my address. Finally I had someone look closer into it and they found it under an apartment building I did not live in or own at time of service. So again I am disputing this information as it is false. **** refused to let me speak when he called and I said have a nice day and hung up after he was rude and refused to let me talk. If there was a renewal it was sent to the wrong address which was again a building I didnt own or live in at time of service I purchased my house before this plan was supposedly in place. Why would I got a gas line protection plan for a property I didnt own ?This does not make sense. I was refused refund and was told only 3 yrs back they could give. As I explained several times I did not authorize this and I did not live in or own that building and the house address I live in I had no protection plan at all took a manager to help the representative to try to find it and took 20 min. Then I was told was for apartment building I didnt own or live in at time of the service plan. I bought my house and I was living in my house at the supposed time this plan started . Again I will not except anything other then full refund for the 16 yrs and two months. I can prove I bought my property before this plan started and the protection line did not move with me cause again they said there was no account on my property under my current address. I did not authorize this plan.

I heard from Pivotal home Solutions. They offered me a refund for 3 years of charges. I refused this by not giving any authorization. I also wanted a transcript of the conversation, and they refused saying that they did not have to send me one. The person was trying to put the blame on me basically for not paying attention to my bill, but why would I look for charges that I never signed up for.He then asked how I came up with $1500.00, I said $5.95 a month is $71.40 times 21 years is $1499.40. he claimed that it was not always $5.95 a month and I said how do you know you do not have records that go that far back. I want a full refund and apology for being charged without my permission. This is my second complaint about this company.Business Response

For several years, I had an *********** Contract on my furnace and air conditioner. On June 6th of 2022, my air conditioner was not cooling my house, so I called ESP at **************. They sent someone out to try to repair my air conditioner. He advised me that it was beyond repair. I called *********** Plan to tell them what the repairman had said, and they let me know that they had already spoken to him. I called a local furnace company called Metro Air to look at the air conditioner and they also gave me a quote. They also looked at my furnace and want to know how old it was. I told him it was ********************************************************************************************************** that if the air conditioner could not be fixed you would receive $500 towards the replacement. I called ESP back a few days later and they said they would mail the paperwork. During that call, the rep asked me if I was going to continue my service contract. I told them I have 6 months of coverage from the manufacturer of the air conditioner and furnace. At no time did the rep on the phone tell me that If I canceled the contract, I would not get my $500.00. I filled out all the paperwork and supplied them with what they needed. After several weeks I called, and they would say they didnt have any information at the time. After that, I called 3 to 4 times and they told me to call back on July 17th. When I called back on the 15th, the representative said that it was denied, because I canceled my contract. I was confused because no one ever told me I could not cancel and not get paid. I called back later that day, and they said the same thing. They also let me know that someone would call me in 2 to 3 days but no one ever did. My card credit statement is still being charged for this contract even though I canceled. I called the better business bureau in ********, **** which referred me to the ******** location. *********** PLAN IS CALLED ********** SOLUTIONS.Business Response

I never signed up or renewed for the gas line protection from Pivotal home solutions. I contacted them it took three weeks to hear back from them and they said they could only refund me for 2 years. I was charged $5.95 a month for 20 years and 8 months this comes to a total with tax to a minimum of $1.500.00. I want a full refund and this company to be held responsible and admit that they charged me without my authority.Business Response

I had Pivotal since approximately 2007 and this year in June 2022, I bought a new a/c compressor. I cancelled Pivotal on June 12, 2022. I have a balance due to me in the amount of $400. Starting in June, I had sent documents to Pivotal such as receipt for new A/C unit from *************** and Heating in *****, **. I haven't heard back from Pivotal. I called Pivotal in July requesting my refund. Nothing after that. Then I reached out to Pivotal on Aug. 12tth, spoke to a Manager named ***************************, He had me scan and send documents including payment that I paid to *************** and Heating. ****** verified he received the documents via my daughter's email. ****** advised me that he will take care of it and I would receive my $400 within two weeks. Well I haven't. I had my daughter, ***, reach out to him again by email on Aug 16 and again on Aug 23, still no response. I called Pivotal today and was told that ****** would call me back within an hour. I called at 1:35 pm. It is now, 3:08 pm still no call. All I want is my money that is owed to me. Thank you. *************************.Business Response
