      I have a home warranty with Service Plus. I purchased the policy nearly 5 years ago and paid in full for the a 5 year policy. (Previous name was Total Home). The company claims verbaly that if an appliance id not repairabel will be replaced. This is stated differently in the ****** that comes with the written policy. I acknowledge my error in not reading the fine print. The cojmpany will do a buy out for the repair if they choose not to repair the appliance. This has happened twice in the last year. A microwave in 12/2022 and then in the summer aproximently 7-2022 for my dishwasher. I was to get a $200 for each appliance to replace or get someone else to repair. When I was offered the buy out in July I reminded them that I had not received by first payment of $200 from the 12/2022 buyout and did not feel confident that I would recieve the payments. ******** the customer service operator assurred me that I would receive both payment with in 6-8 weeks. It has now been 12 weeks since a confirmation email was sent to me about the payment. I have called serveral times and sent an email with no reponse or payment. I would apprciate help from the BBB to get my payment of $400.

      I filed a claim with Service Plus home warranty for my build in microwave. On 10/11 The technician viewed the microwave via video and said it needed a new door and some other buttons weren't working. He said someone would get back to me about and on 10/13 I spoke with *********************************, claims manager. She told me the request was denied because the problem occurred prior to the signing on to the contract. My contract was effective 9/22/22 and the microwave had the problem around 10/4 or 10/5. She said the technician can tell how long a problem has been happening, so, I asked her to tell me what date the technician said the problem started. She couldn't answer the question and when I asked her for information of a higher up to file a complaint, she hung up on **** would like to cancel my contract with Service Plus because of the very bad customer service and the guess work of the technician.

      I had an issue with my washer leaking (June 2022). The company was unable to find a contractor, so they informed me to hire a contractor and submit for refund. I did this and incurred a charge of $149. i submitted all the required paperwork and was told that a refund would ***********-8 weeks. As of today (October 2022) I have not yet received the refund. Follow up calls on a weekly basis has revealed no satisfaction. I am told that someone from accounting would call me back within ***** hours, but those calls have never returned.

      In May of this year, I submitted a claim with Service Plus for an issue with my dryer. They sent a technician out who stated that the dryer was repairable but the parts would come from a third party. Unbeknownst to me, I was informed by Service Plus that they would not cover third party parts and if I wanted to keep my dryer under their warranty, then they would offer me monies towards replacing this appliance. However, the money offered was nowhere close to the amount I paid. The amount offered was $200, which the accounts manager claimed was the present value of the dryer. This was a huge ****** learned because when I was sold this warranty the sales person did a good job of leading out important details.So I agreed to the payout because things always going wrong with appliances and I wanted my new unit to be covered under the warranty. The representative informed me that it would take up to 8 weeks due to the pandemic, for me to receive it.I called in July to inquire and was informed that the payment was authorized on June 1 so that it would be 8 weeks from that date. I called back in September because I still had not received payment and August 1 made 8 weeks, and I wanted to make sure that they check had not been lost in the mail. I was surprised to find out from the customer service representative that the check had not even been processed yet. After expressing my dissatisfaction, the representative said that she would escalate my situation to a manager to find out what's gong on and someone would get back to me. (That seems to be a common response given to paying customers after reading the different complaints.) And, no one ever reached out to me. I called again on 10/11/22, and spoke to **** who told me the same thing that I was told in September. Now I understand that there is a back log due to the pandemic, however, if I'm expected to be timely with my monthly payments, then service plus needs to be timely with their payouts.

      We contacted Service Plus August 11, 2022. Our refrigerator was not keeping our food frozen. We received an email with a technicians contact info. The technician stated he doesnt work with Service Plus. We continued to contact Service Plus multiply times over the next 2months. They made fake promises multiple time that they would get someone. The last time they said it was in the mediation department and they would get someone out of network in 24 hours. That was over a week and a half ago. They keep offering $100- $150 to reimburse us if we get a technician. We have tried everyone we could locate. We couldnt get anyone. Now the refrigerator isnt working and we need to purchase a new one. They will not give us any money for the purchase unless they can diagnose the problem. They cannot provide someone to do the diagnosis . This contract says if it cant be repaired it will be replaced. They cant diagnose the refrigerator, therefore they cant repair it.

      The consumer placed a claim for a refrigerator on 8/11/2022 with no explanation of the failure. A participating vendor was assigned the same day. The consumer contacted us back on 9/19/2022 stating that the vendor was unable to service the claim.  Due to limited availability and to not delay service any longer, reimbursement was offered to the consumer. 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 to report the failure, parts & pricing. Once approved, a reimbursement check is sent to the consumer upon receiving a copy of the paid invoice. The consumer advised us that the vendors they tried to reach dont work in her area or on the appliance they had so they purchased a new unit instead. As per the policy this is a non-covered condition

      I did contract the tech they gave me. I spoke to him once and I waited for him to contact me with a time.  When I didnt hear from him I called a couple of times and left a message. When he finally called and stated that he doesnt work with them. Then I kept calling the insurance company. They couldnt get a technician and offered the reimbursement that they mention. I could not get a technician . It was impossible to get an evaluation when the insurance company couldnt get anyone to come out and neither could we.  When the refrigerator died we had no choice but to Oder one. It was delivered on October 13th.Being that it could be evaluated for repair and I died I think the insurance company should compensate us.

      Complaint: 18200795

      I am rejecting this response because:

      1) The business was not transparent and refused to pay the labor charge . The material on the ** was paid for by the manufacturer and as with any warranty they should pay towards the labor

      2) when i asked to cancel they refused to cancel and pay for the unused part of the warranty.

      3) I had emailed the mitigation department to resolve and they  said BBB will need to resolve now since i have put a formal complaint with BBB and they will not help with the matter any more .

      I was reached out by Marketing people from company on 8/25/22 to buy a Home Warrenty policy which I agreed to buy with the understanding and commitment that I can cancel it with no cause, anytime within 30 days with no penalty. After reviewing the policy I did not like the fine prints of the policy so I cancelled on 9/7/22 and receive cancellation letter and promised money will be refunded back to my credit card. After waiting for two weeks when refund did not arrive, I called the company for refund on 9/26/22. The company said I will get the refund but then they told me that ******** is exceptionally great and my concerns are unwarranted. To attract me further they offered me a policy with lowered price, three visits free, if I am not happy with warrenty I can cancel anytime with full refund.. I told them to send me this new policy so I can look at it before I can commit to make sure all those promises they made on the phone are in the policy including new rate. On reviewing the policy the rates were different and there was no mention of other things they offered. So I called them back on 10/6 to request for cancellation. Now the company refusing to cancel the policy quoting some clause which says the cancellation has to be agreed upon by the company after 30 days. They are counting 30 days from the time I first signed the policy on 8/25. That policy was cancelled and I did received cancellation email. The company claims that re activated the old cancelled policy on 9/26 but citing 30 day window starting 8/25. This is all very deceptive. They refused to cancel the policy and refund my money $2350. Thank you.

      The consumer purchased a 5 year + 1 free year policy on 8/25/2022 for the promotional rate of $2,350.00. The consumer contacted us on 9/7/2022 to advise they wanted to cancel the policy. Applicable refunds are processed within ***** business days.
      In an effort to retain the consumer we advised we would drop the rate from $2,350.00 to $1,950.00 which the consumer accepted on 9/29/2022. The policy was then reactivated and prorated refund of $400.00 would be processed within ***** business days.

      The consumer contacted us again on 10/7/2022 stating that they were told the policy was $19.99 a month which is not possible being there is no way in our system to even submit that amount for a yearly policy. We have voided the prorated refund and have cancelled the policy. The full refund of $2,350.00 will be processed within ***** business days.

      I have been a customer of Service Plus Home ****************** for several years. In November of 2021, I filed a claim for reimbursement of $150.00. The claim was approved in Jan 2022. I was told they would mail a check in 6-8 weeks. No check ever came. I called multiple times over the next several months and was, repeatedly, told that this issue will be escalated and I would receive my check. Finally, in August 2022, I called, cancelled my policy and requested a refund. The cancellation was processed and I was told my refund would be issued back to my credit card within 30 days. I called on Oct 04, 2022 and spoke with the billing department, who said the refund would be processed by today. As of today, Oct 06, 2022, I have not received any money from this company. I spoke with the company again today and was told they would "escalate" this issue again. I've asked to speak to someone with authority to make decisions, but was told those persons do not take phone calls. The only thing this company seems to tell me is that, "yes, I see that your policy is cancelled. Yes, I see that the $150.00 reimbursement is added to your refund. No, it hasn't been processed. I will escalate this matter."
