I switched to this company because of the lower cost, their promised quick response and excellent customer service. My nightmare began the first time I needed their service. This was just a small repair issue. First I couldnt find my policy information because it was never sent in mail or email. Finally when we got the policy information I was able to submit the request on 3/31/2023. After a few days I didnt receive a call so I checked the online status. It was assigned to a technician but I hadnt received a call. There was no contact information for me to call online so I had to call customer service. After several back and forth conversations I paid the $79 so it can be repaired. I was told this had to be paid before a technician can be onsite. I was later told the mother board would be in before the 19th. My dishwasher is still not fixed 4/20/2023 and I have received no further communication. I am dissatisfied so I wanted to cancel my service. I am fully paid up to 5 years from my contract start. I fulfilled my part of the contract but i dont feel this company is providing what they promised. The man I spoke to was rude and said I cant cancel service. He told me to just leave it active and dont use the service. This seems really shady.Business Response

The consumer placed a claim for a dishwasher on 3/30/2023 stating the unit was not coming on. The participating vendor reported that user interface control board and a control board failed. The claim was approved for repair. The consumer contacted ** on 4/21/2023 stating the repair had not yet been done. Due to the waiting for the parts to be received there was a delay in repair. It has been confirmed that the repair has been scheduled for 5/5/2023.

Complaint: 19960002
I am rejecting this response because:On the original complaint I stated that the company was unprofessional and it was taking too long to fix the dishwasher. I am still waiting on the repair (just about a month now). They never sent anyone to look at the dishwasher so no one is even sure the repair that is scheduled on the 5th will fix it.
I requested several times they they close this account and they refused to. I asked for them to delete my credit card information and they refused that also. I didnt even ask for a refund I just wanted to cut ties with them and they refused.

The consumer submitted a Limited Roof Leak claim on 3/30/2023 stating some shingles fell off. Due to limited availability of participating vendors the consumer was advised of reimbursement. Reimbursement is where the consumer contacts a local vendor to come out and diagnose the failure. The consumers vendor must contact us prior to any repairs in order to report the failure, parts & pricing. Once approved, a reimbursement check is sent to the consumer upon receiving a copy of the paid receipt. The consumer rejected this offer, and we continued to work on securing a participating vendor.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
I was never given the details of the policy coverage at the time of the salesman calling nor after I requested it. The information was just revealed due to this claim. I feel I was lied to by Andrew the salesman telling me I had roof coverage and him not explaining these conditions. If there is a recording of the sales call he had with me it will verify I asked about the coverage terms and I asked for a copy of the coverage at the sales call. I never got a response to my initial claim call and was not told to have a local vendor come to diagnose the failure. ServicePlus told me I did not have roof damage coverage when I called about the claim (after they cashed my checks). I feel totally violated and emotionally drained by this experience I work 2 full time jobs and support my special needs grandson. All I wanted was a reputable company to give me the service and repairs as they stated they would. Why can’t I just get a refund and please be done with this horrific issue! I still have a damaged roof, You took my money and I have no recourse for repair!)

COMPLAINT ID: ********
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 consumer initially purchased a 5 year + 1 free year policy on 6/2/2022 for the promotional rate of ********, with 5 consecutive payments of $390.00 each.
The consumer placed a claim on 9/9/2022 for a refrigerator stating there was inadequate cooling. The initial participating vendor reported the evaporator cover assembly for the refrigerator, evaporator cover assembly for the freezer and the assembly ice tray failed. Due to the multiple component failures and the potential for additional failures funds were offered to the consumer. The consumer was not happy so in an effort to assist the consumer we offered additional funds toward replacement. At this time the participating vendor contacted us back to report that the connection plug from the evaporator fan on the refrigerator side to the part has a missing prong which is built in the frame harness and there was no way to repair this. As per the policy missing parts are a non-covered condition.
VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
D. This Agreement covers only repairs and/or replacements due to mechanical failure attributable to ordinary wear and tear. Accordingly, the Agreement does not cover failures which may result from other causes, such as without limitation abuse; misuse and/or neglect; secondary failures; lack of maintenance; rust and/or corrosion; noise without a related mechanical failure; chemical or sedimentary build up; failures due to calcium build-up; lightning strikes; missing parts; animal, pet and/or pest damage; power failure; power surge; fire; casualty; water damage; acts of God; structural and/or property damage; flood; smoke; earthquake; freeze damage; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; nuclear explosion, reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination; insurrection; riots; vandalism; or intentional destruction of property. This Agreement does not cover mechanical failures resulting directly or indirectly from or caused by mold, mildew, mycotoxins, fungus, bacteria, virus, condensation, and/or wet or dry rot regardless of the source, origin, or location and any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the mechanical failure. We are not responsible for drywall or rough finish repairs on not covered claims.
In an effort to assist the consumer on 10/12/2022 we offered the authorize amount of the repair of $556.18 to the consumer, even though this was a non-covered condition.
On 10/15/2022 we received the first chargeback of $390.00 for which we accepted that chargeback and refunded the consumer $390.00.
On 10/17/2022 we received a call from the consumer who agreed to deduct the $390.00 from the $556.18 and continue to keep the account active. The balance of this amount of $166.18 was mailed 11/4/2022. Our system shows the check was cashed on 1/23/2023 which confirms receipt.
On 11/19/2022 we received another chargeback for $390.00, which automatically cancels the consumers account as per the policy. This charge was intercepted and refunded on 11/19/2022.
On 11/21/2022 we received 3 chargebacks each for $390.00 for the remaining $1,170.00 we still had in house.
With 9 months of coverage used at the standard contract rate of $52.00 a month totals $468.00, costs incurred $311.18 and a $50.00 administrative fee per unused term of 4 years totals $200.00 totals $991.18. Total refund due if consumer had cancelled the policy instead of doing chargebacks would be $178.82. With $140.00 in chargeback fees that ServicePlus incurred from the chargeback company, this is considered costs incurred and will be deducted from the refund amount for a total refund of $38.82.
XII. CANCELLATION
C. Mutual agreement of us and you. If this Agreement is canceled after thirty (30) days, you shall be entitled to a pro rata refund at the standard contract fee rate for the unexpired term, less a $50 administrative fee for each unused term and any service costs (including, but not limited to, any good will payments or settlement payments made to you) incurred by us. In the event this Agreement is canceled any free months offered will be removed from the prorated refund amount. If we have provided services and the amount of the service costs incurred by us is greater than the contract fees paid, then no refund will be due to you.
All claims have been properly serviced in accordance with the Service Agreement - all contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company.
In an effort to resolve this complaint, if the consumer agrees to the refund amount as indicated above, we will expedite and mail the check within **** business days upon their acceptance.

Below is a timeline of the correspondences that I have had with ***************** Warranty regarding a claim I filled on August 11th, 2022. As of April 4th, over 15 weeks reinbursement has not been received from this company.The original service technicial was assigned when the claim was filed. This technican never returned by my calls to schedule an appointment. August 25th- A new contractor ************* LLC was assigned. After inspecting the garbage disposal, he concluded that a replacement was needed and told me that a part would be delivered in a week. The contractor was paid the $75.00. October 13th, ************* LLC's contractor had still not scheduled the service. I called Service Plus customer service and was told that they would reassign to a new contractor. October 27th- Service Plus contacted me stating that they could not locate a contractor. At that time, I was told about a reimbursement option. I was provided a form and told that I needed to contact the claims department prior to the work being completed. November 8th, I provided the estimate which was approved by the Service Plus authorization department. The total cost of the work was $389.00 for parts, disposal, and installation. December 6th- I was informed by Service ************************** that I would be receiving $250 or 64% of the total cost I incurred. I have called Service Plus on Janurary, 25th, February, 15th and again on April, 4th 2023 and in each time they informed me that the I would be notified the accounting department would submit payment.Business Response

CS=customer supp I bought my ********************** in Jun2021 from Total Home Protection(now Service Plus)I paid in full for 5 yr and they gave 1 yr free; so a total of 6 yrs and they clearly mentioned we can cancel at any time and prorated refund would be issued. We took in a large group.Policy#*********** I heard very bad reviews about this company from every one who tries to use their services and these are all close friends. None of us want such hassle when in need of a warranty for which we paid our hard earned money for. So to avoid such hassle I reached out to their CS to cancel my warranty, CS put me on hold for a very long time and said prorated amount would be $500; I asked him to cancel it and provide the prorated $$; he put me on hold and got back after a while and said they wont refund me the $$ and I don't have an option but to hold on to it. I asked for Mgr and he said he is the Mgr. Next day I called again and was put on hold for more than 30 mins at least 3 times and no one really cared, they were just waiting for me to cut the call. Later I got hold of the real Mgr and he abruptly said cancellation is mutual agreement and the only option is to stick with them. I also mentioned about the prorated amount upon cancellation mentioned in the terms page of their website, but still he said there is nothing they can do. In call Mgr was asking they will provide 1 free service as I have never used their warranty; the only reason is to cut that amount from the $500 they are supposed to give as prorated so that I wont get any money back if I cancel.******************************************** As per their terms; the cancellation should be in writing, which I did and even after follow *** I don't get any response from them.This is direct stealing of money and $500 is not a small amount per customer.No ********************** has ever done this to me and I really don't know how to make sure these guys are punished and every one who bought this warranty that I know has pretty bad experiences.Business Response
