In June of 2020 I was looking at warranty companies, I came across 2 different ones, for a week they vyed for my business. In the end I went with said business, because I was offered 35 a month to pay it, and 45 service fee and could cancel anytime. Later that year (not sure exact date) our furnace had an issue where it wouldn't stay lit. We filed a claim was told it wasn't in their policy to fix the issue so we had to pay out of pocket. I felt like that wasn't right for me to pay them and be told it wasn't in their policy to fix it. I called and told them that and tired to cancel it, they didn't they gave me a few months for free instead. I called back a few months later and tried again to cancel it. They didn't listen again. I am dealing with health issues so I didn't do much for awhile because I was dealing with hospital and clinic visits. I tried to cancel again and they gave me free months again! Being that they have told me several times they couldn't fix something I looked for another company. I called again asked how I could cancel and they ignored me again, gave me a few months free, ( next payment Oct 2022) and a free service call (which never happend) the last claim I filed I was told they couldn't fix it and it was denied, when I kept calling (3 days in a row) because I kept getting a run around, I kept saying I wanted to cancel and after a long 3 days and 7 diffrent people talking to me I was told they would fix it for me as a courtesy for being with them for so long. I called back today Sept. 23 22 and tried to cancel again and was told for the first time I was locked into a 3 yr agreement so they can't cancel until Jun of 2023. Why are they just now telling me this? It isn't on thier policy either. My policy # is *********. I am writing them to ask for a cancelation but it should have been canceled a long time ago! I am also writing the insurance commitionar. I need them to cancel like I keep asking. It really shouldn't be this hard to do so.Business Response

I had this company for a year with my old home and never had to file a claim. When I moved to my new home they made me cancel my old policy and open a new one. My new policy # is *********. My dryer broke over 2 months ago. Service Plus said they would pay $200 towards the repair and I would pay the difference. I agreed. They sent a repair company out and they said I needed a new motor. Then the repair company said I needed to pay $150 for the part. I paid them and they came out and the repair man said that he needed a different part. That was over 2 months ago. I tried calling the repair company and they do not return my calls. I have called service plus over a dozen times and they keep telling me the same thing that they put an urgent call into their service company. Two months in a family of 4 without a dryer has not only been inconvenience but costly at the laundromat. When I first went to file a complaint with you, on your website you gave me an email of their resolutions department. I emailed them and they said they couldn't help me I need to speak to customer service. At this point I do not know what to do and I need your help. Ultimately I want my dryer fixed. If they do not want to send somebody then I would like a refund of the $350 I paid them for the service contract plus the $150 I paid the repair company that they had me contact.Business Response

Claim April 26, 22 I purchased a platinum home warrant from this company in July 21 thru Jan. 25 for peace of mind.My health isn't the best so I thought if something were to happen to me my wife would have one less worry.The person selling this product over the phone lead me to believe that if the warranty company couldn't fix the warranted item they would replace it.Never once did he mention they depreciate items!He was so pleasant to speak with that I trusted what he was telling me. My first mistake!I elected to make the full payment of $1,350.My second mistake!The contract has to be downloaded to read!In April of 22 my 4 1/2 year old $3,600. refrigerator needed repair.I called ServicePlus Home Warranty to make a claim, they gave me a claim number and said a technician would be in touch within 48 hours.After me calling them several times in the days after the 48 hour time period, they stated they couldn't find a technician in my area!Fed up I called again and spoke to someone named Sunshine, she gave me the name and phone number of an appliance repair person close to my area. I got online to get reviews on the *** and decided per the reviews that it wouldn't be wise to allow them in my home.I only wish that I had checked the home warranty reviews with the BBB.I'm running out of characters so I need to finish up.I found my own appliance repair *** which was allowed.They diagnosed the problem and gave me a price to repair it. $638.72.I sent the price to the warranty ***, several days later they called and told me that they depreciated the refrigerator and would give me $200.,I told them they were out of their minds!Eventually they agreed to $400. on May 5th, 2022, said I would receive in 8 to 12 wks.Today is 09/13/22, after many aggravating phone calls to them, I still don't have a check for $400..Their famous line is: " I will contact billing and see if I can speed things up, and it's in the next batch to go out"!I want my $400!Business Response
