  ***************** warranty are liars. I paid them to have a warranty on my appliances. They never fix anything and say they will reimburse me for some of the ** repair. I have waited over 4 months for my $400 check. I paid $800 for the ** to be fixed and they only paid half. I now have a broken oven they will not fix but they are saying they will give me $525 to replace my double oven that cost $2500. This company are liars and thieves and should not be in business.

  On 11/26/2022 I had my clothes dryer go down, but as it was Thanksgiving I waited until the next day to file my claim. When I submitted the claim they wanted to do a tele-conference with a technician instead of actually sending a technician to repair the unit. The technician contacted me that day and was able to diagnose the issue; however, my claim was closed that weekend when no one was available to contact them and ask for clarification. I contacted them the following Monday only to be told that I had to speak with the resolution department. I was informed that the repair would be approximately $225.00 and they would only send me a check for $200 to repair it; which, firstly that violates the entire reason behind obtaining a home warranty so that I do not have to do things such as that. It is now 01/18/2023 and no check has been received for repair or replacement, which they said initially they would reimburse up to $250, then later changed to $300, and then later $350, which they for some reason do not honor now and maintain that it is only $300. After calling them today it was confirmed that the eight week period of six to eight weeks for reimbursement is almost up yet the reimbursement check has yet to be sent out. This is negotiating in bad faith, breech of contract by Service Plus to have the customer do their jobs for them, and failure to deliver on services stated they would provide to consumer.

  We properly addressed this complaint.  The rebranding of the company had absolutely nothing to do with the Pennsylvania Attorney General lawsuit. Although pandemic restrictions have been lifted, does not mean the setbacks during the pandemic didn’t have an effect on the workplace processes.  
  The consumers check was mailed 1/31/2023. Our system shows the check was cashed on 2/6/2023, which confirms receipt. 
  We sincerely apologize for your negative experience. We request this complaint be closed as answered. For additional assistance, please reach out to us ###-###-####.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  
  
  As stated in your previous response you blamed poor company performance on the rebranding of your company and the pandemic. The rebranding happened immediately after Total Home Warranty was investigated and found to have engaged in illegal practices, and the restrictions from the pandemic are no longer an issue. Both of these issues have nothing to do with the fact that your organization states they will replace or reimburse units within 6-8 weeks of notification; however, this took a total of 10 weeks which falls out of that acceptable realm of timely service promised by your organization.

  .July 10th, 2022, I put in a claim to fix the air conditioner at my property at *************************************************************. After 3 months of them trying to get a company to work, they told me to get my own. (No one will do work for them because they won't pay them when promised. Takes months) I got someone to do the work in October per their approval. After jumping though many hoops (sending pictures, having a mechanic call them and filling out more forms) finally received an email approving the work on November 12th, 2022. They said they would expedite my $1500 check. (Contract states 6-8 weeks for reimbursements) After calling every week and hearing every excuse under the sun (Pictures sent, mechanic had to call them, and I had to fill out more forms) I still have not received my check. It's been 9 weeks since the approval date and still no check. Even their employee's sound frustrated and apologetic. My last attempt to get this resolved was today 1-16-23. They didn't care that I was getting in touch with you. The employee actually encouraged it. Thank you for looking into this. ****

  the company does not pay claims to the vendors according to the vendors. it was difficult to find someone to work with them. So, they would tell me to pay for the service and they would reimburse me. Many times, their reimbursement was significantly lower than market value.18 months ago i paid $200 and they have never reimbursed me. I have called 15 times and they say the check was approved January 2022 and the check is being processed. sometimes i call and are put on hold for over 30 minutes so i hang up the phone. It is a pattern of behavior and the ethics. The money is not large but it is probably being done to others.

  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 garbage disposal on 11/16/2022 stating the unit was not working correctly and was leaking water. The claim was assigned to a participating vendor on 11/17/2022. The consumer contacted us on 11/30/2022 stating the vendor had been out to the home, we advised we had not received the diagnosis just yet. We reached out to the vendor who advised there were no mechanical failures. When we contacted the consumer back, they advised the unit was still failing. Due to the vendors availability, we assigned a new vendor to the claim. The participating vendor reported the unit was leaking from the bottom and was authorized for replacement on 12/7/2022. The vendor reported they were having health issues but had ordered the new unit. Multiple times we confirmed with the vendor they were getting the new unit and installing it for this consumer which the vendor confirmed they were. Due to the length of time it took for the vendor to handle the job, we assigned the claim to a new vendor. The claim was approved for replacement on 1/24/2023. 
  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. 
  Throughout the claim we advised the consumer they had the option of going through reimbursement. Reimbursement is where the consumer contacts a local vendor to come and diagnose the failure. The consumers vendor must contact us prior to any repairs to report the failure, parts & pricing. Once approved, a reimbursement check is sent to the consumer upon receiving a copy of the paid invoice. 
  We sincerely apologize for the delays within this claim that were beyond our control. In an effort to resolve this complaint we have added a free service charge fee to the consumers account to be used on a future claim.

  We purchased a house in July 2022. We purchased a home warranty with Service Plus in August 2022. In September 2022, we started having issues with our furnace, prompting a repair claim with Service Plus. To date, the furnace is STILL not repaired. Service Plus contacted a local company (Keepe) to make the repairs. ***** repeatedly made appointments, then cancelled, claiming Service Plus had not shipped the parts. Service Plus keeps saying they've sent Keepe $220 to complete the repairs. On December 30, 2022, Keepe sent us an e-mail, stating their company no longer services our geographic area. I notified Service Plus of this fact on Dec 30. At this time, I was informed it was being elevated to the Regional *********** should expect a call on January 3, 2023, due to the holidays. Today, January 10, I called to inquire as to the status and was told that it was being elevated to the Regional Manager as of this call (exact wording I was given ~2 weeks ago). BOTTOM LINE - we need this fixed ASAP *OR* we need Service Plus to cancel our contract and refund us all payments we have made, as it appears they are completely unable to fulfill their warranty claims.

  I purchased a home warranty in September of 2022. I have made all required payments for the service. I recently placed a claim for a refrigerator online with the company. When I didn't hear anything form them I called and they said it would be ***** hrs before a tech will be assigned. I could not wait that long because items in my refrigerator were going bad. So I purchased another refrigerator and I wanted to cancel this plan. I called the company and I was told I was under contract and I could not cancel the plan. The information that was sent to e says nothing about not being able to cancel the plan. I have read some reviews about this company and others are experiencing the same issue. I told them I do not want any refunds, I just want out of the plan. Please provide some assistance. with this issue. I believe that this company is a scam and does not provide the services agreed upon. My contract # is *********. ***************** warranty is the company. I have had warranty companies before and I did not have this problem.

  I have had a service contract with Service Plus (formerly Total Home Protection) for over 3 years. I enrolled in their program because of the assurances I got from their Sales Department that ALL broken or defective appliances in my home would be fully covered with new replacements and the process would be seamless and customer friendly. I paid up front for the policy! Since I signed up in 2019, almost every claim I have made has been fraught with difficulty and challenge in trying to get reimbursement. There are exclusions to coverage for every item which was never disclosed at enrollment. For example, I previously made a claim on a clothes dryer which had a broken latch on the door. I was told that "the doors on a clothes dryer are not covered" by my policy as if the door is somehow separate from the appliance. Therefore, the claim was denied! In my latest claim, my garage door became non-functional so I filed a claim with Service Plus. I explained to them that the door was "now locked in the open position" and could not be closed manually. Therefore, the security of my home was now compromised. I was assigned a claim number and a service company was provided by Service Plus to handle this claim. This occurred on January 2, 2023! I contacted the service company, *** *****, and made an appointment for the repair. They assured me they would be at my home on January 3, 2023 between 4-8 pm. They never showed up! I notified Service Plus and they provided another company, ***** ****** Installation and Repair, and an appointment was scheduled for January 6, 2023 between 10am-2pm. Finally, at 3 pm a technician showed up and immediately diagnosed the problem as a broken spring and proceeded to call the company for authorization to complete the repair. It was denied because "springs are not covered by the policy". I then had to wait until January 9, 2023 to have the repair done by my own technician at my own expense Total cost $775.75. Have more to add later.

  The consumer placed a claim for the garage door opener on 1/2/2023 stating the door would start to close then reverse and open. The participating vendor reported there was no failure with the garage door opener, but the problem was with the door track assembly. As per the policy this is a non-covered condition.

  I am rejecting this response because: it's not an adequate offer!  If they increase this offer to $500 I might consider it.  I paid $775 to get this garage door repaired and a $100 offer is not a "good will" gesture.  It's an insult and creates "ill will".  Almost every claim with Service Plus ends up with them paying a fraction of what they should pay based upon their ridiculous exclusions.  I will not settle for $100 to make this complaint disappear!
