      I have received a total of 2 defective replacement phones from Asurion Insurance. When I tried to rectify the problem, I was met with scrutiny, emotional harm, lack of empathy or concern. On Thursday, 4/18/24, 1 of the 3 phone lines that I have with **** stopped working. I called Asurion to file a claim on Sat, 4/20/24. I was told I would receive a new phone by Mon, 4/22/24 or Tues, 4/23/24. I was told to mail the initial phone of 1.5 years, ******** using the shipping label inside. I mailed it back on Mon, 4/22/24. As of today, Thurs, 4/25/24, Asurion rep ******** stated the phone has not been received. I received the first DEFECTIVE REFURBISHED/RECERTIFICATION CELL PHONE on Mon, 4/22/24. This phone would not hold a charge; so, I called Asurion back to inform them. I was told that another phone would be mailed out on 4/22/24. I received the SECOND DEFECTIVE PHONE on Wed 4/24/24. I called and I WAS TREATED POORLY by *****, ********* and ***** trying to receive an operable replacement. No empathy for my sister being without her phone for a week. I visited ATT store, spoke to rep ******* and he confirmed that the phone was DEFECTIVE and did not hold a charge. Spoke to *****, who was nice nasty, then transferred to ******** in escalation, and then to ***** in the ***************** I was told by ***** that my claim has to go into review because I have 2 NEW DEFECTIVE PHONES. ***** said that I needed to mail 1 of the phones through **** call her with tracking #, then she can initiate the claim for a 3RD PHONE. But when I dropped off the 1st phone to **** I called to tell her, give the tracking number, but she told me that the phone has to be in warehouse before she can send another 1. My sister will be without her phone for 2-3 weeks, being charged a bill for service not received, being inconvenienced, spending gas to mail off PHONES, taking off from work to be home to receive the phones, NEVER GIVEN A TEMPORARY PHONE, and I have been charged the $25 coinsurance.

      We took a laptop to this business for replacement of a plastic cover. Only to have the laptop completely ruined. Prior to taking it there this was a fully functioning operating system. And we got our laptop back and it longer powered on. They claimed they were going to replace the system and even upgrade it after 4 weeks they said they couldnt fix it. They refused to give us the replacement value and a refund and instead offered $600 total. The laptop was worth more than $600 and we paid $150 to this business to fix a part. They should not be allowed to touch a computer or scam customers into thinking they are competent enough to do any type of computer repair. We were left in a worse situation than we started and were treated poorly when they were entirely at fault. This company owes me an additional $150 to cover the replacement cost of my laptop.

      To whom it may concern, I ********************* would like to file a ethics complaint against UBreakiFix by Asurion that occurred on February 20, 2024 when i brought in the iPhone 13 Pro *** due to the cracked screen incident that happened day before when i brought my phone here to get repaired. i wanted to share my unpleasant, very atrocious experience from this store located in my area because when i walked in and to ask them if i could get my iPhone 13 Pro *** to get repaired the first thing that the employee in this store would do was extremely unprofessionally yawning and stretching their arms out when i am asking them to help assist me in repairing my device and their response was very unacceptable that they had refused me and told me that they couldn't do anything about my phone and that they just didn't want to perform a diagnostic on my phone and instead giving me misinformation and informing me a random price quote based on their knowledge which i find very unethical of their business practices and told me the price would be at a very low cost and was told that i had to file a claim first before they would start a repair. in other words, before i came here i was already told by both the phone carrier insurance and my phone carrier store employee that once the insurance was already applied i can walk in to any UBreakiFix store without the need to file a claim. but that was not the case in my situation after wasting over 3 hours in the store repeatedly telling me that they couldn't do anything about my damaged cracked phone and was told that i would need to file a claim before walking in the store. i felt that the way that the employee treating me at this location was extremely unprofessional, very unethical and very unfairly treated with misinformation. i am extremely disappointed in this experience and hoping that this business would be taken accountable for their irresponsibility of assisting a customer like myself being treated this unethical way.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      You guys literally failed to understand my concerns about my phone when I walked in the store to get the phone repaired. One of the associate gave me very unethical behavior towards me when I ask them about my cracked phone. The person refused to repair it because they want me to file a claim on it which in this case I was not told that when I was at my phone  carrier. Therefore, I am rejecting this response as ASURION as a company failed to maintain a professionalism and allowing unethical behavior in the store and refusing to help out a customer. Therefore I AM HIGHLY REJECTING your response as you did nothing to help the customer but full of disappointment. As a result, your apology will not solve the problem as it doesnt bring justice to my issues and its inappropriate that one of your associate at the store literally YAWN at my face when I was encountering with the concerns of my iPhone repair.

      Complaint: 21403427

      I am rejecting this response because: you need to improve your customer service because what they did to me was unacceptable and very unethical for yawning at my face during the discussion about the situation at the store. also, you need to understand that im a customer and knowing that customer service being allowed to lie in a customer face about the insurance needing to be claimed is beyond unacceptable and unethical. Therefore, I am rejecting this response as unsatisfactory. I can't accept such horrendous behavior that occurred during my visit at the store. please accept this message as a loss of trust from a customer and will hoping to not hear from this again. Thanks

      On last week of January of 2024 I spoke **** about repairing my Xbox360 from overheating. We discussed cleaning the dust AND adding thermal paste. He quoted me a price of $50 and I turned it in.I continued to stay in contact with them and continued to speak about the overheating and thermal paste.***** kept insisting that the unit was working and did not need the thermal paste. It seemed as though ***** did not know how to do it because she kept making excuses as to why it shouldnt be done.***** texted me that they tested a game and it was working to come and pick it up. I picked it up on the 2nd of February and tried using a game that worked well before and now it did not work at all. I called back and spoke to **** again that if ***** is not willing to use the thermal paste then I would just like a refund and **** said "Yeah sure". They said they would take it and test it again for an hour and then decide what to do, Not five minutes after I brought it back did ***** call me saying it probably needed more parts trying to get me to pay more money but still refusing to do the thermal paste I paid them to do ,according to ****, and she is saying that I paid for a cleaning and I am not getting my money back, when it was discussed with her over and over about the overheating and thermal paste. When I went to pick it up the next day, *****, who claimed to be the manager, was there and was about to get **** but decided not to and stated he is backing up ***** even though the repair wasnt done. He was making excuses as well but refused to let us speak to ****. This business is untrustworthy and lied to me about the thermal paste and I feel I should get my money back. Its all over internet that thermal paste is the way to resolve the overheating and they refused to do it. I feel I should be fully refunded what I paid for fixing the overheating since that was not resolved.

      By way of background, UBIF Franchising Co.(UBIF Franchising) is a corporate franchisor that grants licenses to franchisees to operate uBreakiFix (UBIF) branded stores that repair consumer electronic devices.  Each franchise location is independently owned and operated by franchisees.  Your case involves the ****** 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, you visited the Store on May 12, 2023 for a repair of an Apple iPad (the Device).  During check-in, the Store noted that the Devices screen was cracked, the aluminum frame had visible abrasions,and the corners were dented.  At that time,the Store explained that the Device may be ****************************.  However, you agreed to move forward with the repair.  On May 17, 2024, the repair was successfully completed and the Device was returned to you.

      On January 22, 2024, you visited the store,reporting issues with ******** and that you were locked out of your Apple account.  In addition, you reported that the Devices screen was responding to presses that you didnt initiate, or part of the screen was entirely unresponsive to the touch (Ghost-Touching).  During the troubleshooting process, the Store could not replicate Ghost-Touching issues. In addition, the Store referred you to ******** and Apple to discuss your login concerns with those specific applications.  However, you were dissatisfied with the resolution and stated your intent to contact the BBB regarding the matter.

      Following the receipt of your case, Asurion contacted you to discuss your concerns.  Between January 23, 2024 and February 6, 2024, you communicated with an Asurion Resolution Specialist (**).  The ** requested a video evidencing the Ghost-Touching. However, the video and/or photos you submitted did not support the alleged Ghost-Touching.  You were then instructed to contact an alternate UBIF store for a diagnostic.  You were advised that if the store can replicate the Ghost-Touching issue, the Device will be ************************ under the warranty.  However, if the store cannot replicate the Ghost-Touching issue, nothing more can be done, as it appears that the Product is working as it should.  At this time,we kindly ask that you please contact the ** if you need assistance with locating an alternate UBIF location.            

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.  We make a commitment to our customers to make the repair 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 Asurion resolution specialist using the contact information previously provided.

      I already called the business Asurion UBIF Franchise,LLC.   Left a message on ***** answering machine that I would except the $346.53. This was definitely before they replied to you which is over 10 days.  I never heard from them yet.  I left my name  and phone number where I could be reached. I did not receive a response. My question to you is I left a message out of the 3 options she gave me I opt to receive the money again that was before I receiveced. This message .   So how long do I have to wait for a response. Im not happy with the $346.53 but I guess I have no choice in the matter.  I always thought the customer came first.  I figured they broke it they should fix it.  This  70 year old is just happy after all this that Ill get something. My daughter is the one that told me to accept the money. This stubborn old lady. Would have just kept going probably.  Thank you Better Business Bureau for helping me.    I only have one more question when will I receive the money and if I dont can I get in touch with you again?

      I brought in an iPhone 13 Pro to the Rice Village store (************************************************************) on December 4 for a back glass replacement. When I received the phone back from the store, the back camera was blurry and freezing up. **** is claiming that the issue is software related, however after speaking to both apple tech support and Best Buy tech support - authorized iphone repair company - they both believe it is a hardware issue caused by the back glass replacement.When I initially called the store to explain the camera situation and they said to reinstall the software and perform a factory reset. After trying both steps unsuccessfully, I brought the phone back so a technician could diagnose. They determined it could be the sensor or lens so a replacement was ordered and eventually switched out. Unfortunately this did not resolve the issue either. The technician then performed their own factory reset that still did not solve the issue. Based on the multiple unsuccessful attempts to correct the software, the issue must be related to the hardware.In addition, when I spoke to both the Apple and Best Buy representatives they explained to me that the proper way to replace the back glass is to also replace the motherboard, as replacing just the back glass can easily damage the internal hardware. They both independently concluded that this was indeed the issue with my phone.I submitted a claim to the corporate office, who then contacted the district/regional manager. After a period of time they came back with a denied claim request, still stating that this is a software issue... however if this were indeed the case they should be able to easily fix the issue as an iphone repair shop.I have pictures that show the phone was able to take photos prior to being left at the **** store for the back glass replacement. This is why I believe a refund is in order, as the repair damaged the phone to where it currently holds no trade-in value.

      We investigated your concerns in an effort to remediate the matter.  Based on that review, Asurion determined that on November 14, 2023, you brought your Apple iPhone 13 Pro (Product) to the Store requesting assistance with repairing the Products shattered back glass.  On December 2, 2023, 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.  Although you allege that the Product no longer works due to the services provided by the Store, it was the Stores finding that the issues you are experiencing are due to a software update completed after the repair of the Product and are unrelated to any services performed by the Store.  Therefore, we are unable to honor your request for a refund or replacement.

      I would rather not open another claim against this company but I received more information after a visit to another UBreak IFix store (*************** in *******).  The technicians at that store confirmed it is a hardware issue, not a software update issue.  My iPhone 13 Pro does not have a functioning back camera due to their negligence, and the UBreak iFix store I visited said that they stopped doing back glass replacements as you could easily damage phone hardware.  This corroborates what I was told by both the Apple store and the Best Buy technician (certified Apple repair business).

      In July 2023 I dropped off my Pixelbook for a cracked screen repair. I was called a few days later with a quote for repair. I agreed to the repair. It was approximately $200. Said it would take a week. I called late August for status check. The piece had not been ordered. Issues with staffing. While on the phone with me, they claim they ordered the part and my device would be ready by August 28. No communication from the store for 2 months. Contacted corporate office for assistance. The Brookfield location finally called Nov 21 with the following message: "at some point in the past the cable connecting the battery to the device was severed. That part is not irreplaceable but far too expensive to do without the cost of just retail replacing the laptop." So now my laptop with a small cracked screen does not function and is too costly to repair. At this point I am requesting a new device mailed to my home or a check mailed to my home to replace my device.

      I went in on August 11, 2023 and paid $142.03 to replace my charging port on my ******* Galaxy S22. The only issue I had with the charging port was that it was not charging properly and there were no other issues with my phone, which is not even a year old. After their diagnostic, it was recommended to replace it, which they did. I selected this location because they are a ******* Authorized Service Center, so I trusted them with my phone. The next day a splash of water got on the phone and it completely blacked out. The phone never turned back on. I previously never had any water issues with my water resistant phone, until this service provider worked on my phone. These are the capabilities of my phone "The '8' in IP68 translates to the Galaxy S22 being able to survive up to 1.5m of water submersion for up to 30 minutes". What happened was that they did not properly seal phone correctly. I have reached out to them and also ******* wanting a resolution. Again, I have never had a water issue with my phone until they worked on it. I want my phone fixed. I have pictures on that phone and files that I need to recover. They are responsible for this inconvenience.
