      Complaint: 23007504

      I am rejecting this response because: This response is not accurate. We spoke with AWR 3/1/2025 numerous times after waiting all day for the contractor to show up. We called them and they told us our claim was denied and sent back. After speaking with *** they kept sending this claim to the same company that told ****** does not have access to their schedule until the claim is sent and that they do not have any availability until 3/5/25. It had been two days since our first communication to AWR (2/27/25) and now this was an emergency. We called rotor rooter and asked when they could dispatch someone. They said the next day 3/2/25. I told them I would call them back after speaking with AWR again. They have the call recorded so they can review but if they said someone could come on 3/2/25 we did not get that message. I was frustrated and called rotor rooter back to get someone coming on 3/2/25. They had to send a second team out mon 3/3/25 to remove the now frozen clog. They found mud in there and deemed our sewer pipe broken. I paid $1650 out of pocket for this. We called AWR back and gave them Rotor Rooters estimate to dig up the pipe and told them what they found. AWR's response was to send another plumber who identified the same thing as Rotor Rooter. However, he said the clog is just before the sidewalk and said to see if the city would take care of it for free. Instead of fighting on and on with AWR I called the city. It turns out in the end the main sewer failed, not our sewer pipe. *** also claims we ignored the calls from contractors on sat 3/1/25. That is also a lie. I was waiting at home all day for a call before I gave up and called the contractor they provided. The very first call we made on thurs 2/27 the employee at *** was told we have a plumbing issue and he was focused on upselling us more coverage than actually trying to dispatch someone to help us. We have still not received any emails from *** even after finding out from ******* in the escalations **** that ********** email address was not correct. ******* said she fixed this but we have not heard anything from them in days. We want reimbursement for the Rotor Rooter bill asap and our coverage to be reverted back to what is was originally as we no long trust this company for insurance on our furnace and water heater and we may consider cancelling this altogether because in all honesty, what are we paying to have insurance for when the first claim we made was a disaster like this? We have had no working plumbing for 12 days. This company simply just did not care but they were all too happy to take $50.00 from me for the claim on 2/27/25.

      I have ****************************** line coverage with ***. ***'s terms and conditions state that they cover "clogs and blockages in the sewer line". I had a severe blockage in my sewer line that was confirmed via scope. However, when I called to file a claim, representatives said they couldn't help me unless there was actively water or sewage backing up into my home. I pressed them and said that isn't anywhere on the terms and conditions (which it 100% is not). Finally they said they would send a service provider out. When the service provider arrived, he refused to perform any assessment and repeated AWR's party line, "If there's no water backing up, there's no blockage." Again, I had a MASSIVE root blockage confirmed by TWO SEPARATE plumbers who performed full video scopes. I reached out to another representative. She said I'm entitled to a second opinion, and she'll find a service provider to come out and provide one. I didn't hear back for a full day. I called her the next morning. She said I'd receive a call within 4 hours. No call. I called back and talked to a different representative who assured me my issue was covered and would be taken care of. He referred another service provider -- but it was the same one as before. When I explained to the provider over the phone that *** had ASSURED me of my coverage, she said she would have to talk to *** and confirm that directly. I never heard back from her, and I received a text that my appointment with their firm was canceled. After that I sent several emails to *** explaining the situation and asking them what my recourse is, what can be done, how they intend to make it right, etc. No one ever contacted me. I ended up having to pay for the issue myself. Also, Ive been paying for coverage from *** for at least a year and a half, but my dashboard in their site says Ive only been a member since October 2024, so now I don't even know how much I've paid them in premiums. I find this incredibly suspicious.

      I am writing to formally dispute incorrect charges on my account with *******************************************. I was mistakenly billed $27.71 per month for four months (11/5/24, 12/5/24, 1/6/25, 2/6/25) after my water/sewer service should have been canceled, totaling $110.84.I have reached out to American Water Resources multiple times and spent countless hours trying to resolve this issue, but I have not received a satisfactory resolution. I received an email on February 19th, 2025 with a notice of cancellation. While this is satisfactory towards future charges, I was assured when I spoke to the last customer service representative that I would be receiving the refund for the 4 months I was erroneously charged, totaling $110.84. As the charges were applied in error, I expect a full refund of the $110.84 as soon as possible.Please review my account and confirm when I can expect the refund. If additional information is required to process my request, please let me know at your earliest convenience. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

      I joined this service in 2024 and have complained about no account access. This company has repeatedly emailed and called my phone demanding payments and I cannot even see my account or where the money is being applied. I have asked for my money to be refunded and they do not respond to that request.

      I dont know if this should be on Keepe or American Water Resources (AWR). I have been paying for water insurance for years for peace of mind. I got a clogged sewer pipe on 1/22/25. I called AWR and they put Keepe in charge of finding a plumber.. It has been 7 days and still no service. Keppe informed me this morning my work order has been cancelled and AWR is giving me once again the run around.
