We filed a claim on June 27 that our weekly pool service said our motor has gone out on our pool. They took over a week to assign it to *********** in *********, **. **** from Clear Pools said he submitted 2 emails with all info that ServicePlus requested. ServicePlus said they had received nothing from him. I called ServicePlus back and said **** says he has given you everything and is ready to come do my job even though he had told them he would only serve the ********* area. After that, **** would not answer our phone calls probably because he realized he was dealing with a company that was not true to their word. Then another week went by and they assigned my claim to *********************** and *** told me that when she tried to get payment for their tech they told her they wouldn't pay the fee up front and told her they would get another vendor. So here we are without the use of our pool. It is solid green and slimy. I had a guest vacationing from ******* for 10 days during this time expecting to enjoy our pool daily. Now I have another guest coming in a couple of weeks and no one has been assigned to my claim since July 19. I have been made promises from many of their workers/reps and they never do what they say. We paid for our warranty for 14 months in advance but they will not hold up their side of the agreement. We need your help, please:)Business Response

We are having triple digit temperature in ***** for the last 2~3 weeks. 15 days ago, my ** broke and contacted ServicePlus Home Warranty to have someone take a look and fix my **. It took the company a few days to respond and send a technician. After they sent a technician they quickly concluded that the ** compressor short was caused by poor maintenance and a power surge must have caused the short. There are many other reasons an ** compressor shorts including the fact that the motor could be running too hot for too long and its internal wirings break causing short. This is much more likely what happen due to recent triple digit temperatures. They are not even considering this more probable argument and have already decided that a power surge caused the issue. I do not believe I've been treated fairly in this case. The home warranty company has arbitrarily chosen a reason that made their case.I have called their customer service line, but all I get is a agent who tells me that the case is with a case manager. I cannot get with a case manager. There is no way to escalate the issue either.Business Response

I bought a home warranty in 2019 for 3 years. Every time I called to file for a claim I waited days for a call back or help. They never had anyone in the area that could do the repair work. I always had to find the contractor to do the work myself and then wait to be reimbursed. In 2021 I had a refrigerator go out, that I paid for extra coverage for two units. They told me that since the one part was a manufactured warrantied part , they would not cover it. However in my area there are NO ** repair companies that would or can do the repairs. I tried several times to have it completed or call again , nothing more the Total Home Protection/Service Plans Warranty . I was out the food that spoiled, service call fee to find out that it cannot be fixed, the **** months without an extra refrigerator and the cost of a new refrigerator.Business Response

Our complaint for breach of **************** by Service Plus Warranty, formerly, Total Home Protection. Contract# *********. On July 11, 2022, I made a service call *************) for a water leak in my refrigerator. The freezer motor screeches and failing. They said a tech would call in ***** hours, they did not. We got an email denying our claim because leaks are not covered. We clarified, the freezer is failing, as a result water was leaking. **** answered my call, assigned claim number *****, said a service call would be $100 contrary to the $75 fee in my contract. I informed **** that pursuant to the terms of the contract, the $75 service call fee must be honored as I was not informed of *** name change nor the increase in the fee. She transferred me to supervisor *************************** who also said wed get a call in ***** hours, we did not. On July 14, 2022 I called again, spoke to ***********************. He agreed with the leak source (freezer motor) and assigned new Claim No. ****** and said Id get a call within 24 to 48 hours from a tech, we did not. I called on July 19, 2022, spoke to a manager in the Resolutions, ******** ext. 448. He was very unprofessional & rude, stating the Company could not find a tech to come out and that we could find an independent tech and that the Service Plus Warranty would reimburse us. This is breach of contract of their contractual duty to have licensed tech in my area and I did not feel confident in the Service Plus Warranty reimbursing us for an independent tech. ******* said I would get an email within 2 hours with a techs info. We did not.To settle this matter, we want $40.00 per month for 19 months, totaling $760.00 for all of the monthly premiums we paid for this fraudulent and useless home warranty through Service Plus Warranty. We have learned that the company CEO, *********************** is being investigated for tax evasion by the *** and ********** Attorney General said the complaints against this *** are too many to be counted.Business Response

I have a problem with my dishwasher and my stove. They sent two guys to check it out and they both said that they could be fixed. Service plus said they wanted to pay us instead of having them fixed, they will only give us $100 for one and I think another $150 for the other. I am really not too sure on the amounts anymore. They also told me that my appliances were over 12 years old on one of them when they were only three years old and I told them they could send them the receipts, they told me no. So I settled on the money and I have been paying my monthly payments till this month. I was told in the beginning that it would *********** to 8 weeks to get the checks, it is now past eight weeks and they keep telling me that theyre in the process of sending them out but hasnt been finalized. Again I check with them yesterday and they told me that the checks might go out within one month . I would just like to get the checks since I had to borrow money to purchase one of the appliances. I need to return that money. I would just like to receive my money.Business Response

I made a service call for my dishwasher back in December of 2021. The service tech never came to my home but charged the $125 or $150 service fee. He diagnosed the dishwasher over the phone and mailed the part to my home (The part he thought was broken). I had to install the part myself and it did not fix the problem. When I contacted them again that it did not fix it, I was offered $200 to go towards a new dishwasher even though my dishwasher was only three years old at the time. I agreed to the $200 check in December of 2021. After numerous phone calls and not receiving the check for four months, we cancelled the policy. Here ******** months later and we keep getting told they are waiting on billing to issue the check. I have ask to talk to billing but they do not talk to customers.

I called your company to get a service man to come out to look at it . No Response from your company for almost 10 days. I called back .And they told me that they could not find no one to come out. ,But I could call someone myself and pay up front to get a diagnosis? But your company would reimburse me .But not to go over $100.I did it was $79.00 .But mind you I'm disabled and on a fixed income. Well of course your company said it falls under a contract what was wrong with my HVAC system was not covered. Surprising huh? So anyway I filled out your reimbursement form for$79.00 in April 2022 and of course my son was upset that your company could not get someone to come out .He Terminated the contract. I paid $79.00 before he ended the contract. And they paid my son a discounted price rate back .,Which was not right nor Fair in the contract your company was supposed to provide service which your personal stated that they could not find no one to come out to my condo ???? But would you believe your company feels like my $79.00 dollars that I paid to your company After your personal told me I would get reimbursed thought since my son stopped the contract that they don't owe me a dime ?? ***************** THE ACCOUNT # *********.

The consumer contacted us on 4/26/20 to advise the vendor could not service so the consumer was advised we would assign a new vendor. In an effort 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 repairs to report the failure, parts & pricing. Once approved a reimbursement check will be sent to the consumer upon receiving a copy of the paid receipt. The consumers vendor reported the evaporator coil was leaking freon and was totally empty of freon. The consumers vendor also reported the evaporator coils have rust/corrosion causing the leak.
