I have contacted American Home Solutions, via telephone twice on 9/9/24 to cancel my gas line protection coverage. Was disconnected twice so I sent mailed a letter to PO Box 3042 in ********** to cancel. I received a bill again in October stating I now owed for September and October so I called the toll free number again on 10/16 to advise of cancellation and not owing anything. Again I was disconnected. I can't seem to reach anyone within the ************* and I mailed a request again on 11/4 to ************************************************************************ explaining that I canceled do not owe anything. On 12/5 received a bill again, showing a past due balance of $16.98. I have tried to contact someone within the **** to no avail.

November 5, 2024 $143 per month Repair or Reimbursement for washing machine I needed to have my washing machine repaired not only was it not done after I had complained about them not repairing my fridge and several other items I had to pay for out of pocket. I waited for weeks get confirmation on parts coming in and was told the wouldn't fix it by A&G on Dec 2. Was told the sent out email on the 5th of November. I never gave them it to them. I called. Email set said "Dispatch" with not subject line or company name. Pivotal tried to negotiate taking 1/2 off I told them I wanted my 143$ Refunded they agreed. Did not honor it! This could have been solved with a phone call. Have to pay 40$ A week for laundry and have to find sitter for 4 autistic kids when I go. And still pay my bill on time. They could have fixed the just didn't want to cover the cost. The tried to get my to buy a new washer and reimburse my but I could have got a new on black Friday for half the cost. My time and money has been wasted because they refused to contact me ON MY PHONE. A&G was rude and said its not there fault Pivotal agent hung up in my face when I asked for manager. I had already complained about not ******** services with them if I had 1 More problems. They have only 6 items In 6 years. Often been met with hostility for people the send because they have so many clients and not trying to fix anything that takes longer then five mins. Young man from A&G very nice but not his company or pivotal agent that hung up on me.Business Response

May 2024 I called to cancel the warranty program because price increased. They talked me into staying for the same price. I got the contract in the mail. On August 30 th I called with a repair needed on my air conditioner. That was fine, but the agent I spoke to changed my coverage to the full coverage for all programs! I did not ask for or approve of that. My Nipsco bill comes quite a bit larger and I called Nipsco they said it was Pivotal Home Solutions. When I called to get issue resolved I spoke to a ********* he said they would investigate and reimburse me. I called back November 1 and spoke to ****, he said it would be taken care of after us not agreeing on the charges I told him to cancel services. I also asked him to bill separately from ******. Today ****** did auto pay and took an additional $230.00 for Pivotal Home Solutions!! I called Home solutions and the agent that answered talked to me for 25 minutes telling me theres nothing she can do, there is no way to transfer me to a higher level of care. They dont have phone lines I kept asking if she has a boss or someone I can speak to who can help, no nobody. She said, Just wait and see if they ever get back to me. I am now at 47 minutes on the phone when I again ask if she has a boss or supervisor? She said yes there is a supervisor I would have to wait on hold. (The new bill came and they took the full month out again. So nobody is handling anything!) I told the agent Im contacting the BBB. I am now at 62 minutes on hold, I think they are just leaving me here.Business Response

Pivotal Home Solutions, *************************************************** Pivotal Home Solutions, P. O. *********************** 60094-4135 Account ******* On 09-27-24, I called ************, **************** and spoke to ****** I requested a termination of an added protection plan for Heating Repair (Furnace) and a protection of the Cooling or Air Conditioning. At first, *** tried to talk me out of terminating this protection plan by offering me a lower monthly cost. I declined any further protection plans and insisted on the termination. Upon completion of that call, I thought this service was terminated. An invoice with the billing period from 08-27-24 through 09-26-24, was paid on 10-11-24 in the amount of $37.48. On November 4, 2024, I received another invoice, billing period 09-27-24 to 10- 26, 2024 for $37.48. I called again and spoke to "***". He acknowledge by "reading the notes" this service was terminated on 09-27-24. He also acknowledged that there "must be an error" and he would terminated service. I told him that I wanted termination back to 09-27-24 when I first called. On 12-02-24, I received an invoice for billing period 10-27-24 to 11-26-24 and the current due is now zero but there Is a past due amount of $37.48. I called 2 more times and spoke to ***** and *****, and both told me the termination is still "pending". I told them I am confused as to why it is taking over 2 months to terminate service. Again, I was told that their billing department handles "termination". I asked for their phone number but was told ************ was the only number handling billing issues.I feel I do not owe $37.48 for the billing period of 09-27-24 to 10-26-24. I just want this service to be terminated as of 09-27-24 when I initially called. Apparently, there is no one else who can handle "terminating" services for my home address.Business Response

I recently called for a cleaning check for my furnace to find out that the furnace no longer works the warranty was supposed to cover only to find out they don't cover the main part that makes the furnace work. I have $1,500 per incident and $3,000 annually and none of this covers to fix the furnace. They don't disclose to you when you first sign up that there are specific parts in the units that's not covered they don't do that tell you that until they come out.Business Response

I terminated the plan with this company. When I did, the representative told me to not pay bill I received and they would instead send a prorated bill. When I revived the new bill, it was for an additional month of service plus past month. I called customer service and was told it was because I had a back balance. Went through my bank records and that was not the case. They would not provide a refund or put me on with a supervisor. I was told a supervisor would call me back, never happened. I called again today and asked to speak with a supervisor and was told no. Went through the entire history again and this time was told I needed to pay the full balance because this is how they operate and then they would give me a credit. I have no trust in their word and again asked for a supervisor. I was promised they would call within 3-5 mins, never happened. I reached out via txt option support, no real help. They said they would convey my situation to management and suggested I email the president through their website which I have done. I just want my credit resolved without wasting more time. It is impossible for me to get connected to a person in this country or who has the ability to help me. I appreciate anything you can do!Business Response

I lease a water heater from Pivotal Home solutions. I pay my monthly fee online every month. In September I went online to pay the bill and it said "Thank you for signing up for autopay" and they had billed a previous credit card ( which I no longer have). I had not signed up for autopay, so I called to have this issue rectified. I spent over 5 hrs. on hold, or being hung up on, or told that they could not fix the issue and could not connect me to the department that could. On October 1, 2024, I contacted the CEO- Mr. ****** and asked for assistance- he said someone would call me. A week later, a woman called and left her number- I then called her back and left 6 messages over 3 weeks- she never returned the calls. I contacted Mr. ******.again on November 1, 2024. No one called. On November 15, 2024, I email him again and she returned my call. Aside from being rude, she said she could not answer my questions, or didn't have the information. I finally just asked if she new when my lease was started and how long the lease was for. She didn't know, but said she would have someone call me. Today,November 25, 2024 I received a letter from Pivotal Home Solutions now saying that I requested the lease be cancelled and that I now owe them $ ******* plus tax! I have been on the telephone with them since 10:42 this am. It is now 4:17 pm. I have been placed on hold 4 times, with each time being and average of 47 minutes- twice someone answered and then immediately hung up, so I had to call back. Not once in the six hrs. I have been on and off hold, have I been able to connect with anyone from the leasing ***** Finally a ? customer service agent said " I'm sorry, no one seems to be answering their phone. I don't think anyone is there." He gave me their email and said he would also send one to see if someone would call me back. I'm not holding my breath.Business Response
