      This company is dishonest and uses very push marketing techniques. I would avoid them given their lack of integrity in marketing. I understand that a desperate business might use dishonest techniques to try to save their business, but I don't approve of the dishonesty. They mentioned the name of my mortgage provider in the letter to seem like they have a relationship with me or my bank, a very deceptive practice that suggests they are either a desperate business or they lack the integrity one should expect from an insurer.

      Over the past few months, our company has kept receiving scam advertising letters from this company Service Direct Insurance Service. What's funny is that the recipient of the advising letter doesn't even exist. Please do not reply saying is not your company. A total scam and how dare this business use the post office to send scam letters to random recipients. What a joke! So please remove our location from your list. I am not going to tolerate your business scamming our company.

      I am registered with DMAChoice and the Pennsylvania Do Not Mail registries and still receive the scam mailings from companies like Home Protection Direct regarding an "expiring or expired" home warranty (that I don't have in the first place). With buzzwords like "Important notice", "Immediately", and "financially liable", alongside providing a non-existent customer ID present a scummy way of trying to trick the unassuming into subscribing into their service. The blatant disregard of the Do Not Mail registry is the final straw for me. To the "business" that will inevitably respond to this with a generic copy-paste apology, here's my "customer ID": **********. Take this number, remove it from your system, and stop contacting me or the CFPB will be contacted next.

      of this matter and have subsequently provided the following findings for your

                      In reviewing our marketing database, we were only
      able to locate a record of one (1) advertisement mailed to Ms. ****** on
      November 3, 2023. According to our records, we did not receive any
      communication or correspondence from Ms. ****** regarding the aforementioned
      advertisement. The complaint correspondence received from your office is the
      only communication that our office has received in reference to this matter.

                      Per Ms. ******’s request, we have subsequently added
      her information to our “Do Not Contact” list to restrict her receipt of any
      future advertisements on behalf of our organization. With that being said, we
      would like to point out that our organization does not have control over the
      actions of other companies within our industry and therefore cannot make any
      guarantee on the part of said companies.

      In closing, we
      would like to offer Ms. ****** our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this
      the receipt of our marketing piece may have caused her. We are confident that
      the addition of Ms. ****** to our “Do Not Contact” list will resolve this
      situation as previously indicated. In consideration of the foregoing, we would

      False advertisement. Fake Customer ID. Fake License #. FINAL ATTEMPT infers that there is an relationship and previous attempts to contact me have happened. They state that "We reserve the right to revoke your eligibility for coverage if response is delayed" infers that I am supposed to have done something. "IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE REQUESTED" infers that this is something I should be doing. This is a grave concern. This form of advertising is absolutely wrong and should be made illegal.

      November 8, 2023 thought I was calling my home warranty company due to the fact I’d received notice of expiration of plan. Realized after a few minutes of talking with the salesman it was a different company. He proceeded to give me his pitch so thought it was a good deal. Started looking at their information and it appears they are a scam. Tried to get refunded to no avail. The lady talked over me continued to say I wanted refunded and wouldn’t give out any information and said would receive it in 7-10 days and she hung up.
      Their phone number is ************ **** ********* ** *** ***** ****** was the lady that was rude.

                      We have received your correspondence regarding complaint
      case ********* made by Mr. *** ******* against Protection Direct. In light of the
      aforementioned correspondence, we have conducted a thorough investigation into
      the referenced matter and have subsequently provided the following findings for
      your review.

                      According to our records Mr. ******* contacted our
      office on November 8, 2023, to inquire about coverage for his home. Upon
      reviewing the available coverage options with the customer, Mr. *******
      subsequently elected to enroll his residence in our Paramount home protection
      program. At said time, Mr. ******* made an initial down payment in the amount
      of $195.00 to initiate the coverage on his home.

      Our records
      subsequently indicated that the customer’s wife contacted our office the very
      next day, on November 9, 2023. Mrs. ******* advised our representative that
      they wished to cancel the coverage and receive a refund of the down payment made
      for the purchase of the contract. Per Mrs. *******’s request, the coverage was
      subsequently cancelled, and a refund of the down payment was initiated the very
      same day. A recent review of our records confirmed that the down payment made
      by Mr. ******* was successfully refunded back to his account.

      Finally, we
      would like to address the unfounded allegation contained within Mr. *******’s
      inquiry with your office. Though we understand that our coverage may not be for
      everyone, it is quite unethical to levee baseless allegations against an
      organization without any information supporting said accusations. Despite what Mr.
      ******* may suggest, over our more than twenty (20) years in business, our
      programs, backed by top rated administrators and insurers, have helped to save hundreds
      of millions of dollars in repair costs for consumers across the country.

      As previously
      noted, Mr. *******’s contract has been cancelled as requested and the down
      payment of $195.00 has been refunded back to his account. In light of the
      foregoing, we would respectfully ask that your office considers this matter to
      be closed as resolved.

It is never our intention to inconvenience any consumer, but rather to offer them an opportunity to obtain coverage they might not have otherwise known to be available. While we certainly understand that our programs are not for everyone, we can assure ***************** that the coverage offered to them within our advertisement is a legitimate program backed by top rated administrators and insurers, which has helped saved customers across the country hundreds of millions of dollars in repair costs over our twenty (20) plus years in business.  

                      In response to ******************** inquiry, we feel it is important to note that our office does not possess any kind of private financial, medical or demographic information regarding the consumers we market to. Accordingly, it would be impossible for our organization to single out or target a particular group of individuals as ****************** is suggesting. The vast majority of the data utilized in our marketing campaigns is actually public data that is readily available via a simple online search. Additionally, we would like to point out that our office has never participated in the placement of unsolicited outbound phone calls for the marketing of our services. As such,we can assure ****************** that any telephone communications they have received regarding potential warranty services, were not made by or at the direction of our organization. We have thoroughly reviewed our database and were unable to locate any communication or correspondence that our office has had with ***************** or her husband at any point in time.

      In closing we would like to again offer our most sincere apologies to ****************** and her husband for any inconvenience the receipt of our advertisement may have caused them.As requested within ******************** inquiry with your office, we have subsequently added their information to our internal Do Not Contact list to restrict the marketing of future advertisements on behalf of our organization. In light of the foregoing, we would respectfully ask that your office considers this matter to be closed as resolved.

      Sincerely,

      I am TIRED of receiving this JUNK from Home Warranty companies trying to SCAM me and others.I had previously requested to be REMOVED from Home Protection Direct's mailing list, yet they continue to send me their UNSOLICITED JUNK MAIL. Now even my wife is receiving it! I want our names and address PERMANENTLY REMOVED from their mailing list AT ONCE and LEAVE ME ALONE!The ********** Department of Insurance has recently investigated similar companies peddling Home Warranties through UNSOLICITED mail and has issued a warning and a cease and desist order to many of them.Here is the link:************************************************************************************************ And I have also attached a copy of the cease and desist order for your review. As you can see from the scans I took, I also scanned of the envelope and although the one addressed to me is undated, my **** daily mail previews shows it was scheduled for delivery on Saturday, August 26th.By the way, I called the number on this communication to complain and I was told that I had only ever been contacted 6 times as if this wasn't enough! Upon informing them I was going to file a complaint, I was told to "go ahead and knock myself out!"I am so angry about this that it even raised my blood pressure and I will be filing complaints with the ********** Department of Insurance, the Attorney General of ******** and the ****************** Protection Bureau.

      Re:       ******** ***********************************


                      We have received your correspondence regarding complaint case ********, made by *************************************** against Protection Direct. We have subsequently conducted a thorough investigation into the referenced matter and have subsequently provided the following information for your review.

                      In reviewing our marketing database, it was subsequently determined that there were three (3) marketing advertisements sent to ********************** on behalf of our organization. However, we were only able to locate one (1) record of any communication with **********************, made on September 15, 2023. During said communication, ********************** asked to be removed from our mailing list and was immediately placed on our Do Not Contact list to restrict any further mailings on behalf of our organization.

                      As noted within ************************ inquiry, there are numerous other companies out there that utilize mail advertisements for the marketing of services similar to those being offered by our organization. Based on our review of this matter we feel confident in stating that any previous communications or additional marketing advertisements received by ********************** were not marketed on behalf of our organization. Though it is certainly never our intention to upset any consumer, it is important to note that all of our advertisements undergo a thorough review process to ensure conformity with all applicable rules and regulations. Likewise, our program offerings are backed by top rated providers within the home and auto industry.

      In closing we would like to offer ********************** our most sincere apologies for any inconvenience the receipt of our advertisement may have caused him as that is certainly not our intention. As previously noted, we have already added ********************* to our internal Do Not Contact per our communication with him on September 15, 2023. In light of the foregoing, we would respectfully ask that your office considers this matter to be closed as resolved.

      Sincerely,
