    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    I have tried reaching out to the billing department  almost over 50 times but the company immediately disconnects my call saying we cannot help you,your policy is cancelled and you do not have any active policy with us,they have shut all doors for communication or resolution.The moment I give them my policy number,they say we cannot help you about your policy,I have repeatedly tried to contact through phone and email,but supposedly the company has decided to keep my money and  not issue a refund,I have proof of the emails that I have sent to them but they did not reply to any so far,not even acknowledging receipt of the email.I want the business to send me a detailed email with the procedure or a manager to contact me via email or text.I have tried diligently in good faith to contact the business and get this matter resolved, but all in vain.

     

     

     

     

    In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.


    Sincerely,

    ******** *******

    After further review of the account, we have seen that there has been a chargeback placed on the account. Unfortunately, the funds have been taken from the account and we do not have the ability to issue a pro rated refund to the account at the moment until the chargeback is reversed. This may take up to 150 days to be resolved with the credit card institution.

    I was sold a policy last year and I have a copy of the contract with me. When there was a breakdown the company said we dont cover that part anymore (icemaker) and you should have bought the policy optional coverage. Even though I sent My original policy to the customer service that did not honor the coverage. Basically they decreased the coverage after I about the policy and did not give me a chance to get a refund/cancel the policy. I think this is unfair that the policy showed to me at the time of purchase was different than the policy actually in place.And now when I am trying to cancel the refund is only under $600 whereas I paid more than $2100 less than 1 year ago. In addition the customer *** said the policy time calculation starts the day about the policy not when the policy was effective. This is the most ridiculous statement.

    I have called First Premier several times about a claim being denied. Workers visited my house to see why the thermostat was not working properly. They just looked at it while I tried to program it but to no avail. I submitted a claim with a bill for a new thermostat because on the bill the technician wrote that the thermostat could not be programmed and to replace it. I was told by First premier that the claim was denied because they do not cover programming. I pointed out that the technician said the thermostat should be replaced, but the claim was still denied. The contract states Coverage as followsheat/cool thermostats (programmable set back units will be replaced. I have asked several times to speak to a supervisor but to no avail.

    First Premier Home Warranty (FPHW) failed to honor its contract (Policy no. *****) to pay for either the repair or replacement of our broken dishwasher. Instead, it elected to pay $50 "Cash in Lieu of Repair". Per the instruction of FPWH, we completed their "Cash in Lieu of Repair Form" for claim TN-******* and submitted this form to FPHW via email on February 18, 2025. After several follow-up phone calls and emails, **** still has not sent us the $50 payment. The **** representatives said in telephone calls that the payment was either in process or had already been mailed. After requiring us to pay $75.00 to a service company, which **** selected for an analysis of our broken dishwasher, and not paying for either the repair or replacement, it now appears that **** has no intentions of sending us the $50 Cash In ****. Please help us get the $50 payment owed from ****. Thank you.

    I feel as if I am being scammed. I filed a service request and they sent a technician, but the technician had an unauthorized person come into my home to charge their phone which was absolutely unacceptable. I tried to file a complaint about it but have still not been able to make contact with ******* addition, that same person (plumbing technician) came to my house, did the diagnostic, and then I heard from them was that they had approval to order the needed part and would be in touch to schedule the repair(Monday, March 31st). The last I heard from the technician was a week ago(Tuesday, April 1st) he has not responded to any of my attempts to schedule. I reached out and reported this to **** yesterday and received an email saying they would be in touch to address, they have ****** this point, I'd like out of my contract with them since no one is willing to communicate or help me solve either of these issues.

    I purchased the home warranty in Jan. I had to file a plumbing claim. The sent a *** who wasnt a plumber to diagnose a plumbing issue. The service *** who wasnt a plumber said he will send a plumber. Wasted service fee of *****. After a few days no update the service *** said he was waiting on **** to approve work. He lied didnt even send report till two days later. The plumber showed up the following week looking for a payment from me, I contacted the warranty company no help at all. After going back and forth with them **** advised me to go outside network and they would pay me $100 to help with repairs. I knew I was in trouble dealing with this company. I went ahead and canceled the service immediately. I was told I was getting $336 refund out of $699 in less than 2 months of service. Still no refund this company is no trustworthy and does not keep their promises as advertised. It is a complete scam their testimonials has to be AI generated. They tricked me out of $699 ****** learned. You can never get the person you need on the line no supervisor or corporate person to speak to. They are not legit!!!
