We placed a contract with Service Plus approx. ***************************************** March of 2022 about our air conditioner, after 45 days were assigned a contractor to fix our problem. when i contacted the contractor he told me he declined the work order because he is located in ************* reside in **. when we called Service plus to tell them they said they would get right on it, suffice to say after another 30 days went by and no contractor. when i called to complain again they told me they would find someone. About 5 days later we got an email (at 9:54 am) of a more local contractor with instructions to contact him and schedule a service call. we had errands to run and received a call from the contractor about 40 minutes later who said he was at our home for the service call. As we never scheduled an appt. with him i asked to re-schedule. He told me the service request was already canceled by Service Plus! I called to cancel our policy with Service Plus and was told a refund would be remitted to us within ***** days. It is now almost 60 days since that correspondence. I reached out to them today and was told they would forward it to their billing ***** and to keep an eye out for the refund. This is very frustrating especially since our only request tothem was never resolved. i spoke with other customers of theirs who have had similar problems. this company should be investigated for unscrupulous business practices!

The consumer purchased a 5 year + 1 free year policy on 5/3/2022 for the promotional rate of $2,250.00 to be paid in 5 payments of $450.00. Our sales team answers the phone as ServicePlus Home Warranty, so we apologize if there was some confusion. The consumer requested to cancel the policy on 5/4/2022. Applicable refunds are processed within ***** business days. We received a chargeback which automatically puts a hold on our refund process while the chargeback company handles the transaction. We can confirm that 1 payment was refunded, but we had to confirm with the chargeback company the status of the 2nd payment. We have just received confirmation that it was not processed back to the consumer by the chargeback company, and we have refunded the 2nd payment of $450.00 to the consumers card on file on 9/20/2022. The consumer should see the refund on the card they provided within the next few business days.

Second Issue FAILURE TO ASSIGN SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO PERFOM WORK On August 22nd I called in a ******* Request to have my garage door opener fixed.

On August 25th I contacted ******* Plus after not having a technician assigned to repair my garage door. I was told by the **************** Rep. ******* Plus contacted me in an email stating my claim had been denied. Once again I had to explain to the **** There was no where in the email stating the claim was denied. It only states, you do not cover the opener Pad. I had to tell the *** and later the Supervisor who reopened the claim, I have no idea why the garage door wont open. September 2nd - It has been 12 days since I submitted my initial claim for my garage door. I have received 2 emails from ******* Plus offering for me to go out and get my own repair technician. In an email, August 26th, ******* Plus suggests that I go get my own contractor and SP will reimburse me in 30 business days. Its been 4 months and you still have not reimbursed me for my garage door that I paid out of pocket on May 17th! I am still waiting for you to assign a technician. I live in *******, ** where there is a population of over 390K people, not including the surrounding areas. Your ***s keep telling me you cannot find someone to assign my claim to.

Due to limited availability of a participating vendor, we offered the consumer to go through reimbursement. Reimbursement is where the consumer would contact a local vendor to diagnose the failure. The consumers vendor would need to contact us prior to repairs 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 accepted reimbursement on 9/7/2022. We are currently waiting for either the paid invoice for the preapproved authorization amount or if over the preapproved authorization amount to speak to the consumers vendor to get a complete diagnosis. Once we have either, we can proceed forward with the claim.
All claims have been properly serviced in accordance with the Service Agreement. 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:The vendor is incapable of assigning contractors to perform work in my market. This is the second time the Service Plus has offered REIMBURSEMNT because the are unable to find a vendor that will work with them. I have not scheduled a contractor, because I AM STILL WAITING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM REPAIR WORK I PAID OUR OF POCKET FOR ON MAY 17, 2022 AND HAVE NOT BEEN REIMBURSED BY SERVICE PLUS.
This is a scam. The vendor has the consumer assume payment upfront and then delays and or denies full payment of the services rendered.
When will I receive my reimbursement check from May 17th so I can schedule the Garage Door Repair?

On August 10th I submitted a claim on my ** refrigerator that was not cooling. Within a day my refrigerator stopped cooling entirely and I lost all the food in my fridge and freezer. I have been without my refrigerator since. The claim was assigned to a telephone diagnosis. I had the appt that day. Then they setup for a technician to come to my house to do an in person assessment and take my refrigerator apart and take photos. That technician did not submit the paperwork until a week later as he forgot. The claim was then assigned to a company. This company did not contact me. I finally contacted them and they said they don't work with warranty claims. Why ServicePlus assigned it to a company that doesn't work with warranty claims is ridiculous. This same company actually called me back a few minutes later and asked if I wanted them to do the work for their rate + parts. Completely unprofessional. I called ServicePlus and they reassigned the claim again. The company never reached out to me. I called and e-mailed. They didn't respond. I finally got them on the phone today. They had no claim. I got them on the phone with ServicePlus and according to the new company they need to receive work orders in a certain format - ie directly to their system not via e-mail. SP can't send it that way. How does SP not know this? How can they assign the claim to a company that can't accept claims? To me it seems they're intentionally trying to run out the clock for a claim being open and not fix my refrigerator. They said they will reassign my claim again. I just want my refrigerator fixed. It's been almost a month without it and that's ridiculous.Business Response

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 8/10/2022 stating there was inadequate cooling. Due to limited availability of participating vendors we offered the consumer a virtual diagnosis. The vendor reported a vendor would need to be sent to the home to inspect the unit. A participating vendor was assigned to the claim on 8/12/2022 who then reported they are an appliance vendor but do not work on sealed systems. 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 to report the failure, parts & pricing. Once approved, a reimbursement check is sent to the consumer upon receiving a copy of the paid invoice. This offer was neither accepted nor rejected. We were able to assign a participating vendor on 9/6/2022 and we are currently waiting on the diagnosis in order to proceed forward with the claim.
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:
The claim continues to be unassigned. They have not fixed my refrigerator. I'm going on six weeks now without a refrigerator.
