Over a year ago someone contacted me about a great deal for a home warranty program for my home. It was less expensive than I was paying so I decided to change plans. They took a real long time to get me my documents and then when I actually needed to use it I found out about a service call fee of $125 which did not include the repair costs. If they decide there is no coverage then you have to pay for the repairs. I was never told about this part of the plan. I am skeptical that they will just say its not covered and over charge me. When my toilet broke and needed immediate repair, a technician never contacted me in 2 days. I went to a plumber who will now fix my garbage disposal for far less than ServicePlus. They can be out in a day or two. I tried cancelling and they will not let me out of the contract until it expires so they say on 10/14/25Business Response

The ServicePlus home warranty company portrays itself as a company the covers the typical failures of equipment in a typical household, however all claims submitted to date have been denied because of fine print in the policy that is not shared up front at the moment of sale, but available online after an account is created. These exclusions and requirements are cleverly worded to leave the impression of a comprehensive coverage, however in practice results in all claims being denied or paid off with an amount that is a fraction of the repalceemnt costs. examples:-wine cooler - excluded from coverage - dishwasher - repair part no longer available, offered to pay $156, what the replacement part would have costs. After protest offered to pay $300. The replacement costs was $1823 -built in microwave - denied, even though the policy covers built in microwaves, and this microwave was built in, but the manufacturer markets it also as a countertop with a build-in trimkit, they have a basis to deny the claim - Waterheater stopped working; water heaters are fully covered but not tankless water heaters......- **, The ** claim would have been covered but the part that failed was. still under manufcturers warranty, so the claim is denied because they do not deal with manufacturers, resulting in the part is covered by the manufacturer but the replacement of the part I need to pay, $1100 to have it replaced. Coverage denied. I cannot find anywhere in the policy that coverage of equipment that After these experiences I requested to cancel the policy are get the prorated policy amount refunded. I was assured (verbally when purchasing the policy) that I could cancel at anytime and would be refunded the prorated premium. I paid $1980 on 25 July 2024 for 6 years of coverage.I am requesting a payment of the $1100 ** repair and a refund of the remaining prorated policy and cancellation ofthe policy All in all from my perspective a highly deceptive businessBusiness Response

We treat each concern with the utmost respect and view customer feedback as a valuable opportunity to enhance our service to the valued customers we serve. We understand there are always two sides to every situation and remain committed to reaching fair and reasonable resolutions for all parties involved.
The service agreement is available at all times on our website at ****************************** under the "Resources" section, prior to purchase. Additionally, consumers are provided with a 30-day review period following the purchase, during which they may cancel the agreement for a full refund if not satisfied.
A summary of the customers claims and the actions taken is as follows:
Dishwasher Claim 11/21/2024
The customer reported the controls were not functioning. A participating vendor diagnosed a control panel failure, and the part was no longer available. In accordance with the policy, we offered the customer a monetary settlement.
Per Section VII. General Limitations of Liability (U):
We reserve the right to determine whether to repair or replace a covered item. If parts are unavailable, a cash settlement reflecting the average cost of parts and labor is offered. We are not responsible for matching dimensions, brand, or color, nor for replacement due to technological incompatibilities or material changes.
Built-In Microwave Claim 12/9/2024
The customer reported the unit had stopped working. Upon vendor inspection, it was determined that the magnetron failed and fuses were blown. However, based on the serial and model number, the unit was identified as a countertop model, which is not covered under the plan.
Per ******************* (K):
Countertop units are explicitly excluded from coverage.
Air Conditioner Claim 4/23/2025
The unit was reported to be leaking water. The vendor found a refrigerant leak in the evaporator coil, which required replacement. It was determined the unit was still under the manufacturer's warranty. As per the policy, **** is secondary coverage, and our liability is omitted when another active warranty exists. The customer was advised to contact the manufacturer.
Per Section VII. General Limitations of Liability (Q):
This Agreement does not cover repairs or replacements of any item covered by other insurance, warranties, or guarantees, including, but not limited to, manufacturers, contractors, builders, distributors, or home warranties. Additionally, when another active warranty or insurance is in place, our policy acts as secondary coverage, omitting us from liability in those instances.
Water Heater Claim 5/7/2025
The customer reported the unit was not turning on. It was confirmed that the water heater was a tankless model, which is excluded from coverage.
Per ******************* (G):
Tankless water heaters are not covered under this agreement.
The policy was canceled on May 15, 2025, in accordance with the Terms & Conditions.

I filed a claim 4/28/25 that my refrigerator was not working. They had a technician call and decided what was wrong over the phone. He was placing what part needed to be ordered and Service Plus was to get a technician assigned to fix it. I have called several times as to not assigned. 1st was the part needed to be ordered and now it is they cannot find a technician to do the job. Thursday the supervisor was to escalate this. Saturday still not assigned & now they are saying nothing will happen until Monday! I have paid my $75 and my annual fee! They say I can hire my own and they will reimburse me me but I am afraid they wont & I dont have that kind of $ right now.Business Response

Thank you for contacting us regarding the above-referenced complaint. We take all concerns seriously and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continually improve the services we provide to our valued customers.
We understand that every situation has multiple perspectives, and we always strive to reach fair and reasonable resolutions for all parties involved.
In this case, the customer submitted a claim on April 28, 2025, regarding a refrigerator that was not cooling properly. A participating vendor diagnosed the issue as a faulty relay and arranged for the necessary part to be shipped directly to the customer. A work order was generated for the vendor to complete the repair once the part was received. Unfortunately, there was a delay caused by an issue with the vendor receiving the work order.
To address the delay, we offered the customer a reimbursement option. This alternative allows the customer to hire a local technician to install the provided part. The technician would need to contact us with the installation cost for prior approval. Once approved, we will issue reimbursement upon receiving a copy of the paid receipt.
As a gesture of goodwill, we applied a complimentary service call fee credit to the customers account on May 8, 2025. This credit can be used toward their next service request. A participating vendor has been assigned to the claim, and the customer may contact the vendor directly to schedule the repair.

I am rejecting this response because: I have yet to have my refrigerator fixed. As well to note I advised I was afraid to hire someone on my own that I would not be paid by them to refund the money to hire someone else. . As well to note I talked to several managers before they even ordered the part and I had already paid my portion to their team member my fee for filing a claim. I do not have the money to pay for someone to fix this. I have been quoted $240 on top of what I have paid. I just want my refrigerator fixed.

I recently purchased a plan and tried to file my first claim. The claim was filed on Monday morning around 8am via their phone system since I was unable to log into the app. I then called for password assistance and was helped and able to l9gin. I saw that the claim was incorrect and submitted a correct claim. The next day there was no change. I called and they said it would be handled within 24 to 48 hours. Too l9ng but i waited. By Wednesday afternoon there was still no change. I called again and the *** told me it was up to 48 business hours...over a week!!! I told her that was not what the contract said and she said there was nothing she could do. I called again we'd evening to see if I could get help and the gentleman tries to sell me a full year package. I declined and he informed me there was no one there to help. When I asked if it was an emergent issue like sewer backing up he said there was not anyone there to help. So...not sure what this company is thinking is acceptable. I can't get service after paying for 2 monthly installments. I want my money back...this company is fraudulently selling services they don't actually deliver.Business Response

Thank you for reaching out regarding the above-referenced complaint. We take every concern seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address and learn from customer feedback.
The customer submitted a claim on April 28, 2025, for a clothes dryer, citing a loose door seal. As per the Service Agreement, door seals are considered a non-covered condition and were communicated as such. The customer later reported that the drum was not spinning correctly. A participating vendor was dispatched on May 1, 2025, and identified drum bearing failure as the issue.
The policy was activated on April 19, 2025. Given that the failure occurred only nine days into the policy period, it was determined that the issue existed prior to coverage and is therefore classified as a known or unknown pre-existing condition, which is excluded under the Service Agreement.
In an effort to assist the customer, we offered a $150 goodwill payment despite the non-covered nature of the issue. This offer was declined. The customer subsequently requested to cancel the policy on May 7, 2025, which was processed the same day in accordance with the Terms & Conditions.
All claims were reviewed and handled per the terms of the Service Agreement, which outlines both coverage inclusions and exclusions. We remain committed to providing exceptional service and upholding the values that guide our company.Initial Complaint

1.
On 11/13/2024, I put in a repair order on my dishwasher.
2.
SP had great difficulty finding someone to do the repair, and sent out two companies that could not do the work. This went on for about a month. We got the impression that no companies wanted to work with them.
3.
SP finally told me to pay for the repairs myself, and they would reimburse me. This was after I had already paid their repairman $100.
4.
I had the dishwasher repaired and submitted their paperwork for reimbursement of $187 on Dec. 25, 2024.
5.
I never received a reimbursement check.
6.
I've called numerous times, and they finally said that a check had been sent on March 13, 2025, but I have not gotten any check as of March 30, 2025.
7.
I requested that they cancel my account and no longer charge me the monthly fee, but they refuse to do this.Business Response

We understand that there are always two sides to every situation, and we are committed to reaching fair and reasonable resolutions for all parties involved.
The customer filed a claim on November 13, 2024, for a dishwasher that was not draining. A participating vendor was assigned on November 14, 2024. On November 18, 2024, the customer informed us that the assigned vendor was unable to provide service. As a result, a new participating vendor was assigned on November 20, 2024.
On November 22, 2024, the customer advised us that the new vendor had visited the home but was unable to complete a full diagnosis because the dishwasher was mounted to the wall. A third vendor was subsequently assigned, and they diagnosed the issue as a failed wash pump kit.
SPHW ordered the necessary part and shipped it directly to the customer with instructions to coordinate installation with the vendor. On December 19, 2024, the customer contacted us, stating that although the vendor had scheduled two appointments, the repair was still not completed. To avoid further delay, we offered the option of assigning a new vendor or pursuing a reimbursement route.
Under our reimbursement process, the customer may hire a local vendor to diagnose and repair the issue. However, the vendor must contact SPHW prior to performing any repairs to confirm the failure, parts, and pricing. If the failure is determined to be covered, we issue a reimbursement check upon receipt of the paid invoice.
We received the paid invoice and approved the reimbursement on December 30, 2024. Reimbursement checks are mailed within 30–45 business days. The check was mailed on March 13, 2025. On April 2, 2025, the check was returned to sender. Upon verifying the address (which was correct), we reissued the check and mailed it the same day.
While we do not have control over **** delivery, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
The policy was cancelled as per the Terms & Conditions of the policy on 4/2/2025. In an effort to provide good customer service we waived the $50.00 administrative fee at the time of cancellation.

To whom it may concern, I Johnny Price III have a contract with Service Plus Home Warranty. Earlier this month my garage door stopped working. I contacted them to get it fixed after a couple of weeks.
finally assigned a technician. The technician came out. I paid $125 to the technician for the service call. Now about a week and a half later on Friday, March 28, 2025. The technician called me and informed me that I would have to pay extra $200 to him to finish replacing and repairing my garage door opener. This morning I reached out to Service Plus Home Warranty about why would I have to pay in another $200 for an item which is the garage door opener that is covered under their warranty. I was informed by the service representative that helped me that they is going to pay $500, which he also informed me that they was helping assist me with getting the garage door replaced. I asked him to explain to me.What do he mean by Service Plus Home Warranty assisting me with service that they should cover, I also stated I would not pay another $200 because I have already paid them $1300 in advance for their services. He told me that that’s what it’s gonna be. I informed him I would like to have a refund of my money and cancel their services. He told me again. I am not getting a refund and that I am bonded and have a nice day and he hung up the phone. So at this point, I just want to get my garage door fixed or get a refund of my money.Business Response

We have thoroughly reviewed and appropriately addressed the consumer's complaint, referencing the relevant sections of the service contract. As requested, the policy was cancelled in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
Regarding the refund request, we have determined that the amount sought exceeds the total the consumer paid into the Service Plan. Services were rendered and costs were incurred under the policy; therefore, a full refund is not warranted. However, in a gesture of goodwill and in the interest of customer service, we have waived the 10% administrative fee typically applied to cancellations initiated prior to the end of the policy term.
Per Section XII, Cancellation, Subsection C of the contract:

We paid $2250 for their platinum service contract three years ago. It is a six-year contract. We used about $180 one time on a dishwasher repair. On the past Sunday we had another problem with our dishwasher and put in claim #****** for a repair. After having to get our own tech to come out, because it takes them days to assign calls, he determined that there was a slight leak in the door gasket, but the main problem was that the motor was leaking and needed to be replaced. The cost for the repair was going to be $1290 and this was reported to the company. The person from the authorization department told the tech that it was too much so do not order the parts and they would call me with my options. Upon me calling them I was told that the claim was being denied because the *** told them that the leak in the gasket caused the motor to go and they don't cover gaskets. This is absolutely not true as I was standing next to the tech during the whole conversation as the call was made on my phone. That was never said. The tech was asked about the cost of the parts, the part numbers, if he felt the unit was overused but never that the gasket made the pump go. Also, anyone with any knowledge of such things would have an understanding that a leak on the door couldn't migrate to the middle of the machine and then defy gravity by going upwards to the middle of the machine onto the pump. This is just an excuse to not pay for the repair or replacement. I had the same issue with the first service call with them doing everything they could to deny the claim. I asked to have the policy prorated and canceled and was told the value of the policy was gone. With three years left on it? They offered me $300, and I told them I would settle for $400 but they refused. Now I would like the cost of replacement of $900 or half of my contract returned, and the remainder of the contract canceled because of their shady business practices. I don't want to deal with them anymore.Business Response

We understand that there are always two sides to every situation, and we are committed to finding fair and balanced resolutions for all parties involved.
The customer submitted a claim on March 23, 2025, for a dishwasher issue, reporting an error code, leaking, and the unit shutting down. On March 24, 2025, the customer informed us that they had engaged their own vendor for diagnosis and would pursue reimbursement through that route.
According to the vendor's report, there were two sources of leakage: one beneath the motor affecting the sensor, and another from the door gasket, which was leaking down the front of the door. After reviewing the diagnosis, it was determined that the issues fall under non-covered failures, as outlined in the Service Agreement.
Please note that all claims have been handled in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the Service Agreement, which includes both covered items and specific exclusions.
That said, in an effort to assist the customer and as a gesture of goodwill, we offered a $350.00 settlement, which was accepted on April 4, 2025.

Thank you for contacting us with the above referenced complaint. We treat each complaint with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.
The customer placed a claim for a refrigerator ice maker on 3/27/2025 stating the unit was not producing ice. During the initial call in questionnaire the customer was asked the last time the unit was working properly and the customer advised 2/16/2024. The participating vendor reported the ice maker failed, the water valve was not providing water to the unit and the drain line was clogged. The customers policy became effective on 1/30/2024. With multiple component failures, the failures could not have happened within the short life of the policy. It was determined to be a known or unknown pre-existing failure which is a non-covered condition as per the policy.
In an effort to assist we offered the customer $150.00 goodwill which the customer rejected. We then offered the CAP amount of $200.00 which the consumer also rejected.

I am rejecting this response because: i was misled by ServicePlus Warranty corporation about what the home warranty would cover and told that $100 deductible would be all i pay after I made a claim to determine diagnostic exam from contracted mechanic from Service Plus. The contracted mechanic said that he thought we would have our refrigerator replaced due to the repairs. I am asking that our contract be canceled and receive a recoupment of monthly payments we made since January 2024 up until recently. I only mentioned the icemaker to the mechanic and he noticed other repairs needing to be done. I would like to request that we receive a recoupment of what we have paid each month for warranty since January 2024 and additional money that would cover the cost of a comparable new refrigerator along with cancelation of our contract.
Regards,
