      Service plus is a scam, it is supposed to cover products such as fridge, pumps, all housing products such as stove, washer, water heater etc. My fridge no longer worked and service plus is supposed to cover costs to fix or replace items. I have paid the monthly policy cost to have my stuff repaired if something happened. I had contacted them about the fridge and they agreed to help me. They said they were going to send me a check for $300for the fridge. I waited two months for it. I called again and they again told me the same thing from the last time I called. They stated that they would contact their upper management to take care of the issue. This went on for months and I called several times. The same statement was stated the Check would be in the mail and upper management would take care of it. After another month I called again and they told me they would give me a$25.00 award. I told them I wanted the check for $******not a$25.00 dollar award. Then they told me they would give me $****** towards my monthly payments. I told them I did not want this, I wanted the ****** check for my fridge as advertised when something went wrong from them. Again they stated the same statement that they would contact upper management. Nothing happened. I called again after another month and the same thing was stated as in the last months. They again told me just take the $25.00 reward. This time I told them to cancel my policy since they will not give me the check for my fridge. Then they stated I could not cancel my policy. I hung up and called back. I got a different person and they canceled my policy. I never received the $******. They then told me if I canceled my policy I would not receive the $****** dollar check. They knew this, that they just wait until you cancel so they don't have to pay out. This has happened to hundreds of people. I live on a disabled budget so the ****** would of helped.

      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 placed a claim for a refrigerator on 5/11/2022 stating the unit was inadequately cooling.  Due to limited availability of participating vendors and to not delay service 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 repair to report the failure, parts & pricing. Once approved, a reimbursement check is sent upon receiving a copy of the paid receipt. The consumers vendor reported they were trying to diagnose the failure through the phone guiding the consumer to unplug and plug the unit back in but did not want to go to the home. As this was not a valid diagnosis, we assigned a vendor to the claim on 5/18/2022. Due to the age of the unit and potential additional failures, $300.00 was offered to the consumer who accepted on 5/23/2022. Checks are processed within ***** business days. Within that time frame the consumers monthly account went into a past due status. When an account is past due, a check will not generate on a claim. The consumers account stayed in a past due status from July until the time of cancellation on 12/13/2022 although a payment was taken on 11/12/2022 for the July payment, but the account remained in a past due status for August through Decembers past due payments.
      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.

      I am rejecting this response because:


      I did contact the vendors and I also went through the process what you stated to do. What your doing is fraud and consistency with your so called policies is in the wrong. you also stated that the process to receive the money in 35to 40days. When I did talk to you,you stated the check was in the mail. I waited up to 4months and still no check. Every conversation I did have with staff members I was told the same excuse of the check is in the mail. How can you blatantly lie. I think you should start reading you customer reviews.

      Last year I purchased a home warrenty from Serviceplus from an agent named ********************* an insurance broker supposedly. I did not receive a copy of the policy or anything else but it slipped my mind since there were no repairs until Dec 21, 2022. The FIRST Thing I would ask is do you cover Heat Pumps? My biggest appliance and the one I know nothing about. On 12/23/2022 I called because I found their number in my papers. My heat pump was making a huge noise like the fan was loose and a s**** was bouncing around. They took a long time to send me a name by email that I was to contact. It was ************ and the guy was ******. He took the necessary information on my location after we talked a bit and since it was right on the holidays I said I could wait until the 2nd of January. He made the appointment for ****pm window. I waited and no one called and no one came. I called Service Plus complaining of this matter. Oh they would get right on it with their complaint ***** I waited and waited and waited. It seemed they only had one name apparently to refer. Finally the next day I called again 1/5/2023 an talked to ****** supposedly a supervisor at 11:25 and he stated they would esculate the matter to another *****. I thought it was already esculated. NOT Again I called at 11:40 at ext 798 same they are working on it. I called again 1/10/23and was put on hold at 2:18, again@;21, and again at 2:24pm 18 minutes holding and holding. 2:34 called was to get a call back. again at 2:35 talked to ***** and was to call back at 2:37 NOT but finally got an email of a company to call. I called and he told me he wanted to know how they got his # he did NOT do heat pumps. I called them again and they had to call him to verify this supposedly. So I called the next day and talked to **** at 12:30, and Sebastion, I finally said why don't you cancel my policy since you haven't got a serviceman and you at this point haven't sent anyone to resolve this issue? Transferred after holding a whole lot more by **** and ******** and ***. No they would not cancel my policy, no they would not refund my warrenty payment, they would only give me one service fee credit and not a credit for the other heat pump service that was cancelled too. They finally called the first guy back just after I had called him. He came out this time and was to write an estimate. I called him the next day and then he said I had to take a picture of the unit for them, so I sent him a couple of pictures. Then I called them the next day at Serviceplus and they said then that they do not service Heat Pumps!!! I said that wasn't what I was told when I bought the warrenty. They said it was in their paperwork. Today I went to the library and started a complaint after talking to **** who I waited on hold for. He transferred me to resolution **** again. I tried to talk ******* who asked me how he could help. I started to tell him and he said he would pull up my account. ***, ***, Bla I get from ******* who said that we cover some items but there are exceptions and I stated that I was TOLD that they cover heat pumps. We bickered and he said that there are some items that are covered, there are exceptions, and other exceptions. We got into I wanted them to pay for half of my heat pump and he and I got into it but he wasn't listening. I said I would file a complaint with BBB and he said we are use to threats bla, bla bla. And he would note it. I SAID THIS IS NOT A THREAT IT IS A PROMISE AND YOU CAN NOTE THAT TOO. I WANT MY WARRENTY *** REFUNDED OF $375 PLUS HALF OF THE ***** OF WHAT MY NEW UNIT AND SERVICE CALL COST WHICH IS $1,100.00. i WAS ONLY OFFFERED ANOTHER SERVICCE CALL CREDIT AND i SAID I WOULD NEVER CALL THEM AGAIN. HE STATED HE WOULD NOTATE THAT. I WAITED A WHOLE MONTH IN THE COLD WEATHER WITHOUT HEAT AND THEY ARE NASTY, AND UN PROFESSIONAL. I did get upset and nasty because of the run around they were giving me and they should be sent to prison for thieft and deception. Where is the states attorney with fraud companies who are scamming people with bull and promices?

      Complaint: 18965304

      I am rejecting this response because:

      They lied that they cover everything per the salesman when he called with the sales pitch. Coviently they supposedly don't cover heat pumps and they jerked me arpund for 4 weeks before lieing that heat pumps wete not included. They had 1 heat guy and that was the ONLY heat guy they could find each and everyday I called. They finally called him back at my suggeztion because my resolution to get heat while it was cold, cold outside was going nowhere. There was no picture tajen by *************** and I had to take one or two and sebd it to him. ALL THE **** I SPENT TELLING THEY IT WAS A HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND THEY NEVER SAID THEN THAT SUPPOSEDLY UNVENTED ***** WERE NOT COVERED. They are lying that at the time a yr ago that heat pumps were not covered. They are a rip off thives and should be held responsible for the cost of the unit service fee and unit. IT WAS THE FIRST THING I ASKED IF THEY COVER. THEY ARE LYING AND STOLE MY MONEY ON FALSE PROMICES AS TO WHAT THEY COVER. THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE ***** AND THE SERVICE FEE. THEY TOOK A MONTH TO JERK ME AROUND BEFORE THEY CAME UP WITH THEIR LIES. THEIR customer service was abusive to the point they had me excevely upset by jerking me around first and then come up with their lies. Horrible people and they are creeps and thieves.

      On October 20 I received call from lady named Brittany from serviceplus stating I would be getting a check for 210 dollars for an oven not working claim. This is February 1st and I still have not received a check. I was told per phone call this morning it could be March or April to receive this check. It states in the warranty the item will be replaced if can't be fixed. I'm also waiting on 275 dollar check from above company for 2 water heaters that had to be replaced but the would not pay for new ones to replace the old ones.

      I have had this home warranty company for three properties for several years. I have not been satisfied with them for most of that time. When I call to try to cancel, I am given promises that the company is under new management and I will have something given to me for staying with them. The last unfulfilled promise they made was that my next three service fees would be free. I scheduled a service for a continuing problem that they did not fix the first time I asked them, due partially to them always sending the same incompetent contractor for any and every issue. I requested someone different, who knew nothing about the free service fee, which, of course, I had to pay. When I called the warranty company to ask about the promised free service fees, I was told there was no record of such a promise. I tried again to cancel. This time I was told that I cannot cancel until some time next summer. I was threatened with collections if I stop paying. So, I called them out for another problem. After not finding someone for a week, for a plumbing problem that will only get worse if not addressed, they allowed me to get my own contractor. They pre-authorized $200. The problem was multi-layered and will cost me well over $200 to fix. They refused to pay for it even though the contractor called first. Once again, I had to pay for it myself. I haven't even received the $200 they had already authorized.

      The consumer placed a plumbing stoppage claim on 12/21/2022 stating the tub was draining slowly.

      The consumer placed a claim for a refrigerator on 1/10/2023 stating it was not cooling. During the initial call in questionnaire when asked the last time the unit was working properly the consumer advised about 5 days ago.  We assigned a participating vendor who reported the defrost heater failed and the claim was approved for repair on 1/13/2022. On 1/23/2023 the consumer contacted us to advise the repair had not been completed. We contacted the vendor who reported they were waiting for the part to arrive. On 1/25/2023 the consumer contacted us again to report the vendor did not show up for the scheduled appointment, so a new vendor was assigned to the claim. The new vendor reported the control board, heater and sensor failed. The consumers policy became effective on 12/22/2022 and the unit last working properly on 1/5/2023 having multiple component failures, it was determined that this unit did not enter the policy in proper working condition and had a known or unknown pre-existing condition.

      After diagnostic from 1ST company they never showed up -  was calling insurance company in order for them to reach out repair company that was supposed to come on JAN 17 ( nobody showed up ) & JAN 19( nobody showed up) - the  only answer that i got from insurance, was to wait, i just spoke with them ...they will come 

      jan 21, sent a new email to insurance company to know status of repair - 

      jan 26 sent an email again to get a new repair company ( my fridge not working since jan 10 ) - nobody was answering at the insurance company -

      i asked to insurance company to provide me a new repair company  - On Jan 31, 2023 they assigned me same repair company that never shower up ....???!!!! seriously - fridge still not working after 21 days 

      got another company that came and now they asked me to pay $ ****** for repair  - was never into subject since JAN 10, 2023 when i filled claim, 

      i purchased  that insurance for " peace of mind" , especially to avoid that type of situation - ******************* who sold me that insurance over the phone " if you have any issue do not hesitate to call me " i sent emails, left messages - not a word from him or any of his staff, 

      now after more than a month some repairs are not covered .....how come i was never informed since JAN 12, 2023 -  Took you more than a month to let me know that now i have to pay $ ****** 

       

      how to take advantage of customers - after reviewing reviews and complains, looks like i am not the only one in to same situation 


      Regards,

      I purchased the home warranty in Oct 2022 I put in a request for repair on Jan 13 2023 for 2 stove burners that were non operational. They did an internet interview in 2 days to access the problem which I paid $45 for..That technician told the ** to order the parts. The ** said they would. After repeated follow up phone calls to the service and resolution depts they sent out a live person *** from ***************** ************ who **nfirmed that 2 burners needed to be replaced at $150 each and possibly the mother board which he reported to Service Plus. They have refused to order the parts and have insisted that $200 is all they will pay which does not **ver the **sts of parts and labor. They said no matter how much I protest or wait this is all I will get in 6-8 weeks time. When I bought the policy for $400 the manager promised me that if they **uldnt find a technician to fix it they would refund my full purchase price of $400 . I have spent hours on the phone with this company trying to resolve this. Their sales pitch is if they cant fix it they will replace it. Now they are refusing to do either. I have read on line that many other **nsumers have the same problem with this **mpanies refusal to fix or replace. They should be put out of business as they are a disreputable ** that blatantly lies to all **nsumers in their advertising with false representation. I am requesting a full refund of my $400 payment and the $45 Internet call that was just a ploy my policy # is ********* Claim # ******. The address of the property for the claim is **********************************************************

      Complaint: 18957083

      I am rejecting this response because: 

      The $200 payment does not come near to covering the repair of this stove. I want my money returned for the purchase of this policy as they fraudulently advertise every day. They do not cover repairs or replace if needed. The consumers need to be warned about this company and not to purchase a policy. I have been publishing this information on Next Door and will continue to do so. I have been joined by many others with similar complaints about this company. They should not be in business as they misrepresent their service.

      Unfortunately this home warranty company has once again refused to pay on a settled claim filed on 8/22/2002. The claim number is ****** for a repair on a Kitchenaid stovetop. I paid for the repair out of pocket and ServicePlus agreed to send me a check for $150.00. I have received nothing so far.

      I opened a claim on 10/04/2022 to have my refrigerator repaired. Upon analyzing my problem i was advised by Service plus that they would send me a check in the amount of $300.00 to help with purchasing a new unit. To date i have not received the check and it has been well over 8 weeks. This is the second occurrence i have had with this customer as it related to not doing what they promise to protect consumers with their warranties. Note, i did reach out by phone but was advised by ***** that you do not have anyone i can talk to directly and the only option i have it to call the 800 number and wait on hold. I believe this is also an unfair business practice which this institution should review. I have been on hold for 72 minutes and 34 seconds at this point.

      Service plus Warranty bought out my contract from total home warranty. May of 2021 I called in a service repair for my A/C unit. They advised me that they would only reimburse me $150. I am still waiting on that check. I have called numerous time with the explaination that they have "expedited" with no results or check. In addition, Service Plus Warranty has Denied any and all claims since they took over. Ice maker would be replaced since there is water involved. Ect.My policy # ***********, Claim # *******. This is the claim i am waiting for a check.Additionally It also tool SPW 11 month to pay a previous claim... using the same excuses...
