I have an open claim (#******) since July 2023 for a refrigerator repair. The settlement amount for that repair is $300 of which I have yet to receive. Every time I call the company, they say my check will be here soon but as of 12/11/2023, the check has not been even cut and every representative tells me the exact same thing. This company refuses to release my funds and they are practically stealing from me.Business Response

I signed up for a home warranty and paid $1350 for 3 years. We submitted a claim due to no heat on 11/ and it took the company until 17 to send someone. We paid the required $60 to the first technician. The problem was still not fixed. We encouraged several times that if we couldn't wait to get our own Havac worker, have them call them if the bill was over $200. We did. They then later stated that they would not cover the entire bill after being told we would be reimbursed. The contract was provided after paid the amount. During that 2 week period of time we requested a full refund and we were ignored. We continue to want a full refund of $1350.Business Response

They refuse to allow cancellations until your contract is completely up. They violated the agreement in raising prices "due to inflation" after we agreed on a fixed term and price. They hung up on me when I attempted to clarify the agreement. As an incentive to renew the offered to pay for a claim they denied as not covered. SHADY!Business Response

I purchased home warranty with Total Home Protection and their name was changed to Service Plus.I am on a limited income and this company has not provided the service I purchased. I have had a few claims, some plumbing, air conditioning and now the claim that has just shown me how inconsiderate and awful this company is. Each claim took weeks to secure a contractor, one of the contractors was never paid so my daughter and I paid out of pocket. We did not want the plumber to go without pay, that is just not right! We filed a complaint on Oct 3 for a leak under the master bathroom sink and one for our stove it is leaking gas and the pilot shuts off for no reason when burner is on. Very dangerous! Causing headaches and not safe. We have called and spent several hours on the phone with Service Plus. I have names and time spent on the phone documented.They continue to say they are unable to secure a contractor. We were told it would be a plumber for both issues. They have offered to reimburse me $300 if I pay for the work done up front. The reimbursement would take over a month for the check to get to me. I cant do this. I am on a fixed & limited income. The date is now November 28. So over a month and still nothing! I think the local contractors dont want to work with this company either because they dont get paid. Service Plus should have said unfortunately we cant service your address/location. I should have never been sold this policy. The gas leak is very serious. My daughter is getting headaches and we have family with young children coming for Christmas.I have tried all I can and Im so frustrated and dont understand how a company can treat someone like they are.I appreciate your help.Business Response

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We deeply value your feedback and strive to resolve every concern in a fair and efficient manner.
Regarding the stove issue reported on 10/3/2023 for which a participating vendor was assigned to the claim. The consumer contacted us on 10/13/2023 to advise the vendor was unable to service. We understand the inconvenience caused due to the limited availability of a participating vendor in your area. Our team promptly offered an alternative as per the policy through reimbursement to ensure there would be no delay in addressing the issue.
At times, we face limitations in securing participating vendors, particularly in specific areas, which unfortunately fall beyond our control. This can occasionally impact service availability. We're continuously working to expand our network and improve coverage to minimize these constraints.
As of our records, we haven't received the diagnosis or the paid receipt necessary to proceed further with the resolution of the claim.
All claims are handled diligently in accordance with our Service Agreement, and we remain committed to providing a positive customer experience at every step.

November 2022
I paid $1500.00 for a 3 year contract.
Everytime I call Service Plus, the contractor that they send out does not have a clue about anything he is supposed to be repairing, or it is something that they do not cover. They also state that if they can't repair the appliance they will replace it. They do not honor that, they could not repair my dishwasher, so they are sending e a check for$130.00 which covers the service call fees that I had to pay for them to send a repair man. I have yet to even receive the check. I have been waiting for about 4-5 months now and everytime I call asking where the check is, they tell me that they will put it in the mail friday. I told them today that I wanted to cancel the contract and my money returned since they were failing to uphold the contract. If you read the policy manual, 99% of any appliance that they cover, is not covered. According to my AC repair man, everything for the air conditioner is excluded, same thing with the water heater. I just want my original $1500 dollars back and the contract cancelledBusiness Response

My heat went out on Sat and I filed a claim with my home warranty company, Service Plus, online. The company adverstises availability 24/7, did not follow up by midday Sunday, so called again and was told it can take ***** hours to assign a contractor. Nothing was done until Monday and then I was assigned to a contractor who said it would be another ***** hours. That's INSANE. I found a contractor to come yesterday (paid $165) and now the warranty company is only approving $350 on a $2000 bill. Really? How is that justified? It's not. I paid for this warranty and I am not getting service. I have COPD and need to have heat for my health condition.Before I renewed this contract, which I wasn't going to do, I told the rep. that I didn't like having to wait ***** hours to get a contractor assigned. That's unacceptable to me. ******* told me that they weren't handling things that way anymore. They have been paid and I am not getting service. Can't even reach a supervisor when you have problems.Facebook has all kinds of issues posted about this company doing this to it's customers. I paid for this service and the c*** I've had to deal with has been ridiculous. I need heat and it's going to be a very cold week.

I am rejecting this response because: The contractor you referred me to also had a ***** delay before I would hear from them. Thus further delaying my repairs. Yes, I did contact an outside contractor so at least I could find out what the actual problem was, which you said I could do. You said you would cover up to $200 without an approval. So I did it. YOU PRESSURED before I was able to find out of you would approve or not to make a decision as to which way I wanted to go with my repairs, use your contractor that said another ***** hours before even hearing from them. So I said I'd go with the outside contractor to get an estimate on repair charges, which were $2000. Needless to say, you offered me basically nothing. What is $240 on a $2000 bill. This is not what I expect from my warranty company. I see how you manipulate your wording to get out of providing service or minimizing what you will pay for. NO, I paid good money for this warranty, I don't owe anything AND, in one of your emails it stated I WAS NOT responsible for the $60 charge. Even when you offered more money I said NO bc, again, I paid for this warranty and expect to receive covered services, even if I have to go with your contractor. I told you I was not going to go with the outside contractor and expect you to provide the covered service I paid for. Is there anything that says I can't change my mind? I don't think so. You have not covered a darn thing and I want my work completed and paid for by your company, even if I have to use your contractor.I think you do things this way so that consumers will get fed up and get their own contractor, then you can s**** over the consumer by not covering the full costs of the repair or replaced item. This is not an acceptable excuse for you to NOT PROVIDE ME with coverage for this repair. You don't want to do it bc it's nearly $2000 and if you are able to get it done for a lot less, then I am concerned with the type of contractor you would be sending out. I will accept nothing less than this. I am prepared to take this to Consumer Affairs, Attorney General and the state licensing board. I will not give up and at some point I will be asking for personal compensation due to the stress and lack of heat in my home the longer this drags this out. This is very poor customer service. You should be trying to make me happy, but you aren't Obviously you do not care about the consumers or there wouldn't be the amount of complaints there are against your company. You also said that since I filed this complaint, even though I told I told you it would not be made public, you refused to work with me. My husband and I have spent hours on the phone trying to get this resolved. We have jobs to do as well and can't just stay on the phone on hold.
What's the point in having this warranty if you get to decide what you fix and don't fix? ****'s not a warranty.
I am seeing all kinds of negative comments on social media about this company. It is very disturbing.

ServicePlus Home Warranty is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.
To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.
Why choose a BBB Accredited Business?BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
