      Have tried contacting company several times to schedule service but was unable to reach them. Left messages and after several attempts spoke with someone to schedule service to toilet. Still no word from them after being assured someone would contact me. Spoke with them again in December about complaint and was told I could hire my own person and be reimbursed. I voiced my disatisfaction and heard nothing else. Spoke with them again on yesterday and told them I wanted to cancel service becuase it is not what I signed up for. Was told I could not cancel.

      Complaint ***********
      Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the complaint mentioned above. We value all feedback and strive to address each concern with the utmost respect, aiming for a fair resolution for all parties involved.
      In the case of the consumer's plumbing system claim placed on 12/8/2023, indicating a leaking toilet, we acknowledge the limited availability of participating vendors at the time. To expedite service, we offered reimbursement to the consumer. This process involves the consumer contacting a local vendor to diagnose the issue, with the vendor required to report the failure, parts, and pricing to us prior to any repairs. Upon determining that the failure is covered, reimbursement is issued upon receipt of the paid receipt, which the consumer accepted.
      Regrettably, we were not informed that this claim had not been completed, and it was automatically closed by our system after 60 days. We are currently working with the consumer to retain and service this claim promptly.
      We want to assure you that all claims are handled in accordance with the Service Agreement, which outlines both inclusions and exclusions. Our commitment remains steadfast in providing a positive customer experience and doing what is right for our customers, contractors, employees, and our company as a whole.
      We are dedicated to upholding our founding ideals of offering industry-leading home warranty products and exceptional services to our valued customers. If you have any further questions or require assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at **************.

      A few years ago I signed up with Total Home Warranty. I only needed to use Total Home Warranty one time and had a good experience.They came right out the same week and made the needed repair. They were bought out by Service Plus. I assumed they had the same service. We installed new baseboards in the room and moved out the dryer and then moved it back to continue using it. I called to have someone come out. They waited two weeks and tried to diagnose a non heating dryer over the phone!. Then they sent out heating elements that failed to arrive. Eventually I had three heating elements. Then they sent the repairman to tell me that the dryer was fine. I needed a $0.07 s**** for the housing of the plug. I was furious and called to complain telling them that I was going to change companies at the end of the year. Later that year the toilet clogged up. When I called, they told me that household plumbing was not covered. So in December I contracted with American Home Warranty. Then I called Service Plus to cancel with them. They refuse to cancel my contract. I stopped payment at the bank. They are saying that they can only cancel a contract in mid November! I had already told them that I no longer wanted their service twice before that. I just want them to end this contract, stop billing me and to not put me down as a bad ******************* owing them money on my credit report. Can you help me to get out of this contract? I have never even seen this supposed contract, because I was just dumped under them when they purchased Total home warranty. I am certainly not going to pay them for another year of sub standard coverage, when I had already told them twice and maybe more times that I was going to end their service and go with another company at the end of the year. A legitimate company would have honored the precious two times that I told them I was switching and just taken care of the cancelation. This is not a legitimate company. Help!

      Thank you for contacting us regarding the complaints mentioned. We understand the importance of addressing customer feedback promptly and ensuring a fair resolution for all parties involved.
      Regarding the clothes dryer claim filed on 10/17/2022, the claim was approved for repair and the part was mailed to the consumer. The consumer contacted us to advise the part had not been received. Although it's unfortunate that there were issues with receiving the part, a replacement part was promptly sent. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the consumer. 
      As for the plumbing system claim filed on 10/18/2022, we acknowledge the concerns raised by the consumer about the shut-off valve and leaking faucet. While we understand that not all issues are covered under the policy.
      Our commitment to providing a positive customer experience and ensuring fairness in all resolutions remains unwavering. We extend this dedication to our customers, contractors, employees, and uphold our company values.
      In an effort to assist the consumer we cancelled the policy in accordance with the Terms & Conditions.

      On Friday, February 16, 2024, I contacted the ***************** Warranty to ask why they were taking money out of my bank account because I had cancelled their service since they never responded to my request to come out and look at a toilet . A fast talking representative began talking over me, explaining how he could get someone out right away and the cost would only be $75.00 and insisted that I could not cancel with the company and continuously proceeded to overtalk my wife and myself. She repeated the word "Cancel" repeatedly until we had to hang up because he clearly was not going to allow anyone to speak but himself. On calling back, Monday to make sure that the message was clear, we wanted to cancel, the phone number only gives the option to speak about a new report, diagnostic report or billing. with this company.

      Thank you for reaching out regarding the plumbing system claim. We understand that there are two sides to every story and strive to find fair resolutions for all parties involved.
      The consumer reported a plumbing issue with their toilet on 12/12/2023, stating it was leaking since 12/3/2023. During the initial assessment, it was determined that the problem had begun before the effective date of the policy, which was 12/9/2023. Therefore, it was considered a pre-existing condition and not covered by the policy.
      In an effort to assist the consumer, we offered to send a participating vendor to diagnose the issue, even offering to lower the associated service charge fee. However, the consumer declined, citing concerns about the fee. We also provided information on reimbursement options if they chose to use their own vendor.
      We want to emphasize that all decisions were made in accordance with the terms outlined in the Service Agreement, which includes both inclusions and exclusions. Our commitment is to provide exceptional service and ensure fairness in our dealings with customers.
      If the consumer wishes to cancel the policy, they are welcome to do so in accordance with the Terms & Conditions. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at **************.

      My account #***************** Plus fails to pay approved claims on a timely basis as promised. I have a 10 month old approved claim for $500 they have failed to honor. (764947)Despite multiple calls over the past 8 months to ********************* managers and promises that my claim was in a priority status and the check would be issued shortly, I am still waiting. I had a 6-year contract with this company. Every claim has been treated in a similar manner. They rarely assign technicians on service calls and expect customers to find their own and pay out of pocket with a promise of reimbursement that never comes without extreme efforts such as this. Buyer beware! Stay away from this company.

      I am rejecting this response because the check they claim to have mailed on 2/21/24 still has not been received within 10 days as promised. Also, their apology is disingenuous when they claim payment was delayed because my account expired. My account didnt expire until 6 months after date of service. They had promised reimbursement within 45 days. Of course I let my account subsequently expire. Why would anybody renew with a company that doesnt pay claims as promised?

      After reviewing the details provided, it appears that the consumer placed a plumbing system claim on 1/5/2024 due to a leak in the home.

      I filed a refrigerator claim (Contract *********) with the warranty company in September 2023. They assigned a repairman to come out. He came out multiple times and replaced several parts, yet the refrigerator never worked again. He texted and told me he had more parts but never came out again. We called the warranty company and emailed them but got no resolution. I paid the warranty company $2700 for the warranty, $465 to the repairman, and $2114 to LOWES for a new refrigerator. I have received no compensation, and the warranty company refuses to pay anything.

      Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the consumers
      recent experience with the claim for a refrigerator claim. We appreciate the
      opportunity to address the consumers concerns and are committed to finding a
      fair resolution for all parties involved.
      Upon investigating the claim made on 9/22/2023, which
      reported inadequate cooling in the refrigerator, it was determined that the
      compressor failure fell under the manufacturer's warranty, thereby constituting
      a non-covered condition as per our policy.
      Despite this, we understand the inconvenience the consumer
      faced and took steps to assist the consumer further. We authorized goodwill for
      the labor associated with the replacement compressor, which was sent to the
      consumer by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, it seems that this resolution did
      not resolve the issue on two separate occasions.
      We want to assure you that all claims have been handled in
      accordance with our Service Agreement, which outlines both inclusions and
      exclusions. Our commitment to providing exceptional service to our customers
      remains unwavering, and we are dedicated to doing the right thing for all
      parties involved.
      As a further effort to assist the consumer, we offered $700.00
      on 2/14/2024.
      We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work
      towards resolving this matter.
