Service Plus claims that a contract was set up in my name in Dec 2023. I did not place this order with them. At the time this supposedly happened, my bank account and debit card were hit with fraud. I had to get a new account and card. I tried to tell service plus, but they refuse to cancel and they want money. What can I do?Business Response

I've been dealing with this company for several years. Their performance is very poor, and the practice of business is operating under lousy leadership, they totally discriminate against Senior Citizens and Disable American Veterans. I've paid these people $1352.00 dollars several years ago with the understanding that each service call is $75.00 dollars per incident. I've called several times and apparently, they cannot assist me because they have no technicians available to respond to my problem. The company solicit themselves as a solid company providing outstanding service for home warranty. The BBB for the State of ********** has a NR rating against this company, meaning they have major performance issues. The problems start from the Top and work itself down to the lowest employee at this establishment. The more I complain the issue will not get fixed, unless someone at this company steps up to the plate and fixes the customers complaint and stop selling services that are not real.Business Response

The consumer placed a claim for a clothes washer on 5/21/2024 stating the unit was not draining. Due to limited availability of participating vendors and to not delay service, we offered the consumer reimbursement. Reimbursement is where the consumer contacts a local vendor to come out and diagnose the failure. The consumers vendor must contact SPHW prior to any repairs in order to report the failure, parts & pricing. If determined to be a covered failure, a reimbursement check is sent to the consumer upon receiving a copy of the paid receipt. The consumer rejected this offer.
A participating vendor was assigned to the claim on 5/24/2024 as per the Terms & Conditions, who reported there was no mechanical failure with the unit. The consumer may get a 2nd opinion and have that vendor contact us with the diagnosis of the unit.

The consumer placed an electrical claim on May 22, 2024, stating that the outlet by the pool was not working. During the initial claim submission questionnaire, the consumer was asked when the outlet last worked, and they responded May 5, 2023. As the consumer's policy became effective on July 19, 2023, it was determined that this issue was a non-covered condition, as the failure occurred prior to the policy's effective date and was a known or unknown pre-existing condition.

ServicePlus Home Warranty is the absolute worst, run away from it! For 3 years the same issue has cropped up with the **** and each time it was a pain to get it fixed. Their service request process is abysmal and they are extremely slow with any kind of communication, not to mention their utterly incompetent technicians. Now they don't even have any technician to send out this year and proclaimed we have to find our own and then have that technician contact them to get approved before the repair work can start. After we found one ourselves, the technician promptly came over to inspect the unit and then called ServicePlus multiple times. The unit is beyond repair and needs replacement. No response at all so far from ServicePlus to any of the calls from the technician. This is ridiculous. Original service request was placed on 5/7/24. It is now 5/19/24 and the temperatures are in the 90s this week and this residence has a disabled child in the house. And no air conditioning for nearly 2 weeks. Big mistake taking out a 6 yr policy with this scamster company. We're looking at canceling the policy now and demanding a refund for the full 6 years retroactively if they continue to scam like this without doing their job. But based on the other complains that have been filed, ServicePlus will simply post a response stating that they will promptly issue a refund to the credit card used originally, but as can be seen, several customers have stated their refunds haven't arrived for months and years. And what if the credit card originally used has expired or is no longer active due to theft? Will they send out a check? We're pro-actively exploring legal options so we don't get stuck like the previous customers.Business Response

The consumer placed a claim for an air conditioner on May 7, 2024, stating that the unit had inadequate cooling. The consumer requested to use their own vendor, and we explained the reimbursement process. The consumers vendor reported only that the unit was very old and needed replacement.

On an evening in December 2023 cleaning up my email I ran into an email from Service Plus Home Warranty. I clicked on it and right away I got a call from a salesman representing Service Plus Home Warranty who coerced me into purchasing a membership it offers everything at a lower price, especially to seniors. My husband took care of this, but the Lord had recently called him home. I fell for the sales pitch, even though everything about the quick sale, said walk away. The salesman slid over my questions. I knew that I would get a contract that would answer my questions better. I never got it. Service Plus Home Warranty had taken 3 years of membership right away at $338.00 each time, from my credit card. By the time I woke up and investigated, it was too late to do anything about the membership. Today I called for service only to learn that no matter what, my plumbing need (a leaky shower), was not a part of my contract (policy # *********) or any of their contracts; they do not offer that service. But, because it was my first call for service, I could call a plumber and then Service Plus Home Warranty would reimburse me up to $100.00. It is something my previous company offered; I requested a cancellation. The Regional Manager said that I had agreed to the service (online that late evening). I asked, even though I never saw or signed the contract? He said that was my problem, and that I could not cancel as they had done nothing wrong.Business Response

I am a disabled veteran homeowner and had been paying 51$ / mth for a home warranty by service plus policy#*********. My monthly bill was recently raised to 61$ / mth without notification or authorization. I spoke to one manager in the cancellation department who was extremely rude and refused to cancel and refund my money. I have never used the service and didn't appreciate the lack of customer service. I was told that I'm now locked in for another year and no way for cancellation until then. I have a serious problem with this and spoke to a second manager who said I was sent an email on the 1st of April which doesn't exist. I want my money refunded that was increased without notification and authorization for the two months and this warranty canceled. This should not be allowed by any business with customer service responsibility. Your handling of this matter will be greatly appreciated!Business Response

Bought the warranty and filed a claim about two months later. They denied the claim on the water softener because they said it was a pre existing problem. They said they have a 30 day wait period which this was after that. They did not have a so called tech in my area which forced me to take my own time finding a tech and scheduling time to meet. The tech said the unit was too old and could not order parts to fix it. They gave them a replacement cost and then a few days later I called and they denied the claim. Wrote a email as the agent suggested and still denied. They then told me that each item has a *** cost to fix or replace. Non of this was ever mentioned when a salesman sold me the policy. They never even said there was a 30 day wait period. This is the second time having them and would never ever use them again. When you call customer service, when they find out why you are calling, they put you in a never ending hold so you waste your day. Do not not ever use this company and I asked for a refund of my money and have never got it back and I believe they would never fix anything even if the price was below the cost of the warranty. DO NOT EVER USE SERVICE PLIS WARRANTY SERVICE, scammers.Business Response

Complaint ***********
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We understand the importance of addressing customer concerns promptly and thoroughly.
After reviewing the details of the consumer's claim placed on 4/1/2024 for the water softener, it was determined that the issue was related to seals and pistons failure,. The consumer's policy became effective shortly before the reported malfunction on 3/22/2024, and given the short duration of the policy, it was determined to be a known or unknown pre-existing condition, which falls under the policy's exclusions.
We always aim to provide fair and reasonable solutions to our valued customers. Despite the non-covered condition, we offered a goodwill gesture of $100.00 to assist with the situation. However, we understand that the consumer has chosen to decline this offer.
Upon acceptance of this offer, a check for $100.00 will be processed within 7-10 business days.
We remain committed to providing industry-leading home warranty products and exceptional service to all of our customers. If you require any further clarification or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at **************.
