      When you guys sent me a message through email the first time, I didnt understand how to enter the code there was no dash or anything so when I put the number in by typing it, it said that the code was invalid to read your message the first time you sent it to me. This time I copied it from my email and then pasted it onto this page for the code and it went through this time because it put the numbers in the spaces that it was supposed to be before the dash was there if that makes any sense I am a disabled individual. I have a learning disability therefore if theres no instructions on how to do something I dont know and that is not my fault. There was some miscommunication on your part and mine. I do believe that you should reinstate this complaint it would only be fair please and thank you

      Dear **** Hub,

      With regard to the above-referenced case that you filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), we submit the below in response.

      Your case filed with the BBB on January 27, 2025, states the following:

      I took my cell phone in for repair the screen. I notice several parts were missing and I believe was stolen by the business. I explain to the employees that parts was missing out of my phone and that needed to replace the parts. I would like my phone replace immediately.

      Desired Resolution:

      Replacement or refund.

      Response:

      By way of background, ******************** (UBIF Franchising) is a corporate franchisor that grants licenses to ************************ to operate uBreakiFix (UBIF) branded stores that repair consumer electronic devices. Each ********************** location is independently owned and operated by franchisees.  Your case involves the Joplin store (the Store), a store owned by Asurion UBIF Franchise, LLC (Asurion). 

      We investigated your concerns in an effort to remediate the matter.  Based on that review, Asurion determined that on December 26, 2024, you brought your Apple iPhone SE (the Product) to the Store requesting assistance with repairing the ******** cracked screen.  Later, on the same day, the Store successfully repaired the Product. In addition, the repair technician took photos of the Product, performed quality inspection checks, and received successful results after the services provided, which concluded the Product was in good working condition.  However, as indicated in your above verbatim, you claimed that pieces of the Product were missing after the repair.

      Following the receipt of this matter, an Asurion Resolution Specialist (**) contacted you to address your concerns. During the conversation, you informed the ** that the Product had been dropped after the repair, damaging the display again.  To repair the Product, you took it to a third-party repair center, where the repair technician discovered that the internal camera plates were missing and some screws in the *** plate were either loose or missing, which you informed the ** that you had no prior knowledge of before taking the Product in for repair. As the Product sustained additional damage after the repair, and an unauthorized repair attempt was performed on the Product, the ** informed you that the ******** limited warranty was no longer valid.  However, as a customer courtesy, the ** offered a $25 reimbursement to cover the missing small components, which you declined.   


      Please note that all repairs are backed by a 1-year Limited Warranty.  A complete copy of the Terms and Conditions governing the 1-************ Warranty is made available at ********************************************************. The most pertinent section of the Terms and Conditions is included below for reference.

      11. Limited Warranty: The repairs and parts used in the Services, and any replacement Device provided pursuant to this Agreement, will be warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date the Services are completed (the Limited Warranty), subject to the provisions and exclusions set forth herein.
      A. Limited ************************************** Warranty does not apply to Services or repairs performed on Devices that have been exposed to moisture or liquids outside of the manufacturers intended use, regardless of whether the Services attempted to repair such damage or exposure. This Limited Warranty does not provide coverage for Devices which have been subjected to abuse, misuse, damage due to external causes or an Act of God, normal wear and tear which does not affect the original manufacturers intended use, battery leakage or damage resulting from battery leakage. Furthermore, this Limited Warranty does not cover defects resulting from any action by You, including but not limited to mishandling, physical damage, operation outside of design limits, improper repair by someone other than Us, or unauthorized modification. This Limited Warranty does not apply if Your Device shows evidence of tampering or shows evidence of being damaged as a result of excessive corrosion, electrical current, heat, moisture or vibration, or as a result of improper specification,misapplication or other operating conditions outside of Our control. This Limited Warranty covers the following software Services only: factory restores,backups, jailbreaks, and unlocks. This Limited Warranty does not apply to Devices with software modifications performed by someone other than Us following the completion of the Services, including without limitation updated software, use of unauthorized or unapproved software, viruses, malware, spyware,or attempts to modify any software that has been installed by Us. This Limited Warranty is non-transferable and does not apply to Devices on which the serial number has been altered, defaced or is missing.

      As indicated above,the Limited Warranty does not cover defects resulting from any action by You,such as physical damage.  In addition,the Limited Warranty does not cover unauthorized modifications, such as repairs from unauthorized third parties.  As you indicated that the Product had experienced physical damage following the December 26, 2024 repair, and that a repair attempt was performed by a third party servicer, the additional damage and unauthorized repair void the warranty.Therefore, you were correctly informed that the Product could not be replaced or refunded under the 1-************ Warranty. 

      Although we cannot meet your desired resolution, the Terms and Conditions Asurion is following have been explained, and therefore, we consider this matter addressed.

      I went in for the phone repair at you break. I fix on 12/16 2024. it hasnt even been three months and when I drop my phone, it would not have shattered again. Have they put my phone together right the first time so Im not sure what warranty they are referring to and as far as them putting everything together correctly, they did not and I am not satisfied with $25 because I have spent so much money to fix an issue that they should have made sure that it was fixed before giving me the phone. Also, when I went in there, I was with my sister and I specifically told them that I am disabled and my sister is my interpreter and they did not disclose any information as far as what was on the paper to me or my sister and told me to sign it again had they put sealant in the phone put the screws in all the way and didnt steal parts out of my phone there wouldve been no issues following the repair

      I did send a response and never heard back from you guys. The issue has not been resolved. They said that the warranty was boarded, but their warranty guarantees up to a year and it hasnt even been a year since I went in to get my phone fixed. I am not satisfied with what they are trying to offer me $25 and l Spent a couple hundred dollars for them to fix an issue and then they created more issues by stealing parts and not putting my phone back together right and putting sealant in it to seal the phone back Together, I am not satisfied I did send a reply to your last email never heard back. This is the second response to the one that you have claimed I have not responded to.

      Response:

      We understand your frustration.  However, you acknowledged that following the Asurion repair, you dropped the Product and attempted to have it repaired by a third party.  As outlined in our response on February 27, 2025, the Limited Warranty does not cover defects resulting from any action by You, such as physical damage, or unauthorized modifications,such as repairs from unauthorized third parties.  Therefore, you were correctly informed that the Product could not be replaced or refunded under the 1-************ Warranty.  Although the **************** Warranty is no longer valid, as a customer courtesy and to reach an amicable resolution, the Asurion Resolution Specialist offered a $25 reimbursement to cover the missing small components, which you declined.  

      We sincerely apologize for your frustration.  While we cannot meet your desired resolution, the Terms and Conditions Asurion is following have been explained, and therefore, we consider this matter addressed.

      They offered $25 Dollars for the missing screws they did not offer money for the missing face plates. There was two missing face plates out of my iPhone, not only that they did not put sealant back on the phone when they put it together thus involving it cracking and me having to go get it fixed again. Im not satisfied with $25 for the missing screws. There was more than just screws missing out of my phone.

      End of July 2024 the hdmi port on my PS5 was broken. I decided to schedule an appointment. The first time being there they were friendly and I paid around $215 for the **** port to be fixed and for some type of warranty. They told me it would take a week or two to fix and that they would call me and let me know any further details. One month later and I still dont have the PS5 and no matter what day and or time I called I would get no answer. I ended up speaking to someone higher up who ultimately did nothing to help me know when I would get my PS5 back. I ended up getting the PlayStation back middle end of August. As soon as we picked the PS5 up something wasnt right. One of the panels wasnt stuck back on correctly and so it kept shifting around. At the end of October the PS5 started having the same issues except this time it wasnt moved or damaged anyway it just stopped working. I made an appointment with uBreakiFix December 3rd and when I got there I was met with nothing but attitude being told that this issue was caused by me and that its not going to be covered under the warranty that i supposedly had. I ask if he decides if its covered under the warranty and he said it was the warehouses decision. I then asked were there any pictures taken of the end job of the first time it got fixed and he said I dont know then someone in the back yelled yes they do so I said is there anyway to assure that they will look at all the evidence before making this decision and the worker told me Im not going to tell them how to do their job so I apologized by saying Im sorry Im not trying to make you feel bad and the worker said well I dont feel bad. I had been calling the previous days to try to see if my ps5 was covered but no answer. Tuesday December 10th I called 12 times on my phone and twice on my roommates phone and no response. I went to the store only to get told that they dont know anything about my ps5 so I left. This is completely unacceptable.

      The hdmi port on the xBox S was broken. The unit came back with the hdmi port repaired but whenever the xBox is turned on it crashes. Three other xBoxes work with this monitor/cable, so the problem is clearly with this repaired xBox and not with the cable or monitor. Took it back to this store two more times with the same result. Filed a complaint and heard nothing back. Called them today to get an update on my complaint, and spoke to a rude foreigner. The last thing that he said was to call the BBB, so I am doing that. My ticket numbers with uBreakIfix are: W022481441, W022639812, and W022550462. I have since bought a new xBox and it too is working fine with the same cable and monitor.

      We investigated your concerns in an effort to remediate the matter.  Based on that review, Asurion determined that on June 13, 2024, you brought your Xbox Series S (the Product) to the Store requesting assistance with repairing the Products broken HDMI port.  Following the repair, the Product passed all functional exit testing and was returned to you.  On June 24, 2024, however, you returned to the Store and advised the store technician that the Product would not connect to any monitors, even when using different HDMI cords. To resolve the matter, the Store sent the Product to the service center for an additional repair under the warranty.  However, upon testing and diagnosing the Product, the service center found no issue with the Product and determined that it was functioning properly.  As no issue was found, the Product was returned to you unrepaired.  

      Following the receipt of this matter, an Asurion Resolution Specialist attempted to contact you via email to further address your concerns, but could not reach you. If you have any questions or concerns or require assistance with your claim, please contact the Asurion Resolution Specialist directly using the contact information provided.

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      To say that they cannot reach me by e-mail is ludicrous.  You sent this to my e-mail and I received it.  Why can't they send e-mail to an obviously working email account.  

      To say that it was working is also ludicrous.  On three hdmi cables and three monitors it does not present an image, whereas two other xboxes do work with these cables and TV.  It is not rocket science to either see or not see an image on a screen.  ,

      Your rebuttal filed with the BBB states:

      Conclusion:

      We apologize for your frustration.  As outlined in our response on November *******, the service center completed the required testing and diagnostics for the Product, but no issue was found at that time. Unfortunately, as no issue was found, the Product could not be repaired and was returned to you.  Following the receipt of this matter, an Asurion Resolution Specialist attempted to contact you via email to further address your concerns, however, you stated that you did not receive this correspondence.  At this time, if you have any questions or concerns or require assistance with your claim, please contact them directly using the contact information provided.

      Saturday 10/5/24 I brought my MacBook pro laptop to have a battery replacement. When I got home I noticed three keys on my keyboard were not working, despite them working just fine ***** to my bringing it to the store for the battery replacement. When I traveled back to the store to inform them on 10/6/24 and hopefully get it fixed, ******** and **** were not helpful despite **** being the one who initially replaced my battery. They both said that ***** had the final say of what could be done and that **** would call me later that day once he had spoken to *****. I did receive a phone call from **** and the only options I was given was to have them put the old battery back in and get a refund or to buy a keyboard replacement. This cannot be legal, especially since I did not sign a waiver. My keyboard was not damaged when I initially brought in my laptop but NOW it is and no one is taking responsibility for it. Despite many negative reviews on Yelp, I still brought in my device thinking how hard could it be to just replace the battery? Apparently I was wrong. Between the lack of integrity, incompetence, **** poor customer service and no responsibility for the damage they caused.

When I got home I noticed three keys on my keyboard were not working, despite them working just fine ***** to my bringing it to the store for the battery replacement. When I traveled back to the store to inform them on 10/6/24 and hopefully get it fixed, ******** and **** were not helpful despite **** being the one who initially replaced my battery. They both said that ***** had the final say of what could be done and that **** would call me later that day once he had spoken to *****. I did receive a phone call from **** and the only options I was given was to have them put the old battery back in and get a refund or to buy a keyboard replacement. This cannot be legal,especially since I did not sign a waiver. My keyboard was not damaged when I initially brought in my laptop but NOW it is and no one is taking responsibility for it. Despite many negative reviews on Yelp, I still brought in my device thinking how hard could it be to just replace the battery?Apparently I was wrong. Between the lack of integrity, incompetence, **** poor customer service and no responsibility for the damage they caused.

      Your desired settlement states:

      Replacement. 

      By way of background, ******************** (UBIF Franchising) is a corporate franchisor that grants licenses to ************************ to operate uBreakiFix (UBIF) branded stores that repair consumer electronic devices.  Each ********************** location is independently owned and operated by franchisees.  Your case involves the Spring, ** store (the Store), a store owned by Asurion UBIF Franchise, LLC (Asurion).

      We investigated your concerns in an effort to remediate the matter.  According to our records, on October 2, 2024,you called the Store to initiate a repair for an Apple MacBook Pro laptop (the Device) that was overheating and had a battery that was rapidly draining.  The Store ordered a replacement battery for the Device.

      On October 5, 2024, after the replacement battery was delivered to the Store, you brought the Device to the Store and because the Device would not power on, the repair technician was unable to perform diagnostic testing.  You verbally agreed to have the Store proceed with the repair and satisfied the required service fee.  That same day, the battery replacement was completed.

      After the repair, you reported that some of the Devices keys were not functioning properly.  On October ******, you brought the Device back to the Store and the repair technician performed diagnostic testing on the Device to determine if the issue with the Devices keys could be ************************.  After you escalated your concerns at the Store, the repair technician offered to reverse the repair, which would return the Device to its original condition prior to the repair, and refund the repair fee. You accepted, and the repair technician proceeded to reverse the repair.  The refund amount to the debit/credit card used for the $137.38 repair fee was miscalculated as $134.05, so to resolve the difference, you were provided the remaining $3.33 for the repair fee in cash,for a total refund of $137.38.

      Following the receipt of your case, on October 25, 2024, an Asurion Resolution Specialist (**) contacted you to discuss your concerns.  To provide an amicable resolution, Asurion authorized a Device reimbursement of $550.00 for shipping and delivery to you within ten (10) business days, which you accepted.  Therefore, we consider the matter resolved.

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.  We make a commitment to our customers to make the ********************** process easy and convenient, and we truly regret that this was not so when you contacted us.

      If you have any remaining questions, please feel free to contact the ** using the contact information previously provided or, alternatively, feel free to contact me by email.  I am available Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. CST.

      In April my laptop would not turn on and 2 keys fell out. I took my laptop to ubreakifix by asurion because I have asurion insurance. The ***resentative advised me that he could fix the laptop so I decided to pay for the repair out of pocket as it was only $150. I made a deposit of $60 and left my laptop. I called to check on the repairs several times and was advised that a part needed to be ordered and it was on back order. The repair man contacted me a month later saying he had the part and needed another week. A week went by and I called the store and the store was permanently closed. I called around to other local stores and they said that the store closed and they received a bunch of repairs from them. He was able to locate the laptop at another location. That location said the laptop was in a million pieces and they would try to repair it. They were unable to repair it. I called asurion and they said to send it in. I sent it in and they sent it back saying that there was no hard drive so somewhere in this madness someone lost my hard drive and now asurion is saying that ubreakifix is unauthorized to fix laptops even though their *** said he could and they are advertising the exact insurance I have. They have said that they would correct the issue. I sent the laptop back and they returned it to me with no hard drive again. Now they are saying that they are not responsible and will not ***lace or repair my laptop. Ubreakifix by asurion owes me a whole laptop. Neither Ubreakifix or asurion will accept responsibility for my loss. This has taken months of my time and money to no avail.

      on 7/1/24 I took my iphone for screen replacement and was quoted $280 to fix the screen. I approved the price and when I got the phone back it wouldn't take a charge and was very hot and shut down every 5 min. I returned to the store and they said the battery was bad and I needed a new one. I explained it was a new phone and does not need a battery. Then they admitted that they put the wrong screen in and it would cost me another $147.69 for them to fix their mistake and put an apple screen on it. I refused and told them to take their screen out and I will go to apple. They said my old screen was gone and they can't do that. Now they have my phone hostage so I was forced to pay their $147.69 to get my phone back. This is bait and switch. I tried to resolve this with their corporate office and they offered me $40. I refused and told them it's not my problem that they put the wrong screen in and if they would have told me up front it was going to be $440 total to fix it I would buy a new phone.

      Asurion may use Original Equipment Manufacturer (***) or non-*** parts when performing screen repairs.  We investigated your concerns in an effort to remediate the matter.  According to our records, on July 1, 2024, you brought an iPhone 14 Pro *** (the Device)to the Store for a screen repair, which was completed using non-*** parts.  Please note that Asurion may use new, rebuilt, reconditioned or refurbished parts or components, and original or non-original parts.  Unfortunately,following the repair, you reported that the Device began overheating and the Devices battery was rapidly draining.  A warranty screen repair was subsequently initiated; however, due to your request for *** parts (instead of non-*** parts), you were charged $147.69 for the *** parts upgrade.

      Following the receipt of your case, on July 12, 2024, due to the lack of communications from the Store concerning the non-*** parts being used for the initial screen repair, Asurion authorized a partial refund of $40 for the upgrade charge.  In addition, due to your continued dissatisfaction, on July 19, 2024, Asurion refunded and additional $107.69, totaling $147.69, which was processed for shipping and delivery to you within ten (10) business days. Therefore, we consider the matter closed.

      If you have any issues with the refund, please contact the **** Specialist directly using the contact information provided to you.  Alternatively, if you have any other questions or concerns, you may contact me by email.  I am available Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. CST.

      In 2022 I had my phone repaired. The salesperson sold me a screen protector with a lifetime warranty for as long as I owned my phone. I have used the warranty a couple of times. They have record of my purchase and the warranty is in their system. I went in to get a replacement yesterday, and they are now saying they are no longer honoring those warranties. I shared that the last time I was in there, an employee told me they would make a note in my file and honor it. He said there is no note and they would not honor it. I asked who I could speak with. He said **** owned the store. I said well, let's call ****, because this isn't right. He said, it's time you get out of my store. Besides the lack of professionalism and ability to deal with conflict appropriately, ************ just needs to do what is right and honor the lifetime warranty they sold me. I am sure there are many others who are experiencing the same negligence, so I am bringing this to the BBB for resolution. And, yes. an apology would be nice too.

      Re: Case 21967138

      Dear *************************,

      With regard to the above-referenced case that you filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), we submit the below in response.

      Your case filed with the BBB on July 10, 2024 states the following:

      In 2022 I had my phone repaired. The salesperson sold me a screen protector with a lifetime warranty for as long as I owned my phone. I have used the warranty a couple of times. They have record of my purchase and the warranty is in their system. I went in to get a replacement yesterday, and they are now saying they are no longer honoring those warranties. I shared that the last time I was in there, an employee told me they would make a note in my file and honor it. He said there is no note and they would not honor it. I asked who I could speak with. He said **** owned the store. I said well, let's call ****, because this isn't right. He said, it's time you get out of my store. Besides the lack of professionalism and ability to deal with conflict appropriately, ************ just needs to do what is right and honor the lifetime warranty they sold me. I am sure there are many others who are experiencing the same negligence, so I am bringing this to the BBB for resolution. And, yes. an apology would be nice too.

      Your desired settlement states:

      Finish the job; Repair.

      By way of background, **** *************** (**** Franchising) is a corporate franchisor that grants licenses to ************************ to operate uBreakiFix (****) branded stores that repair consumer electronic devices.  Each ********************** location is independently owned and operated by franchisees.  Your case involves the ***********, ** store (the Store), which is owned by Asurion UBIF Franchise, LLC (Asurion).

      We investigated your concerns in an effort to remediate the matter.  According to our records, on November 21, 2022, you brought an iPhone X (the Device) to the Store for a screen repair, and you also purchased a screen protector under a lifetime warranty service program.

      On July 9, 2024, you brought the Device to the Store for another screen repair, requesting fulfillment of the lifetime warranty for the screen protector.  However, the Store informed you at the time that the lifetime warranty service program was no longer active.

      Following the receipt of your case, on July 16, 2024, due to a change in the warranty services provided, a **** Specialist notified you that Asurion had authorized a refund of $45 for the screen protector, which was processed for shipping and delivery to you within ten (10) business days.  Therefore, we consider the matter closed.

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.  We make a commitment to our customers to make the ********************** process easy and convenient, and we truly regret that this was not so when you contacted us.

      If you have any issues with the refund, please contact the **** Specialist directly using the contact information provided to you.  Alternatively, if you have any other questions or concerns, you may contact me by email.  I am available Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. CST.

      Complaint: 21967138

      I am rejecting this response because:

      As Asurion correctly noted and I quote, "According to our records, on November 21, 2022, you brought an iPhone X (the Device) to the Store for a screen repair, and you also purchased a screen protector under a lifetime warranty service program."

      Asurion sold a product, a $45 screen protector with a lifetime warranty, meaning free replacement if it cracked for as long as the phone is owned.  I understand discontinuing the offer/service to new customers, meaning no longer selling the product and service. But the company needs to honor its commitment to customers that have already purchased the product/service. Yes, I concur they gave me a refund, and I accept my personal case is closed. However, selling a product or service and not following through with delivery of that product/service is a fraudulent practice. They have admitted they discontinued honoring replacement. The word used to me on the phone by a corporate customer service agent was it was "de-commissioned." I would call on Asurion to honor their commitment to the thousands of other customers that bought their product and service, or give them all a refund. Then I will consider this case closed.  If nothing else, this should be made public to consumers viewing complaints with the BBB. Perhaps other consumers who purchased this product/service and are now being denied fulfillment will see this and call corporate headquarters for a refund. I would call on Asurion to examine their corporate values and commit themselves to doing the right thing.

      Sincerely,

      Thank you for your response and thank you for following through with this case. I hope you will post the text to this case so others affected can hopefully also find resolution. I hope the BBB will also take into consideration this companys decision to sell a product/service and then decide not to deliver on that product/service in considering whether Asurian deserves good standing status.

      Sincerely,

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