I purchased a service contract with **** in July 2024 after a service call on our oven. I paid a monthly fee of $34.99 for future service. January 2025 I made an online request for service on a dishwasher door spring and a freezer not keeping cold. On 1/16 a service man came. He said the freezer compressor was not covered under our plan. We did not go ahead with the repair as he said it would be approximately $1500. He did fix the cord on the dishwasher door. He simply reattached the cord. It did not require any new parts and he did not say that it was not covered as he did with the refrigerator. I paid the $89 fees for both appliances. I was angry about the non coverage so I canceled my policy that day. I was told this plan could be canceled at anytime. I had been paying the fee for 6 months. They collected the $34.99 for January, two $89 fees for the visit, they charged me $53 to cancel, and a week later (1/22) we get a text that a tech is scheduled to come on 1/23 to work on the dishwasher! I replied to the email and said we did not request any service. Then I get an email saying the dishwasher was not covered and we owe $187.90. I should not have to pay more after the transaction is completed.Business response

Hi Don,
Thank you for reaching out. Upon review, heres a summary of our findings:
Dishwasher Repair (1/16/2025):
The technician repaired the door link, which isnt covered under your warranty (per Section VII of your membership terms).
Outstanding Balance (1/23/2025):
Since you paid $89.00 on 1/16/2025, an additional $98.90 remains due for the standard repair totaling to $187.90. Please note that your membership benefits were not applied, as your membership had already been canceled at the time of the repair.
Please see breakdown bellow
Standard Repair :$173.0
Security & support fee: $14.90Refrigerator Repair:
The sealed system was covered under warranty, and we apologize for the lack of clear communication from the technician. However, your membership was canceled before we finalized the claim.
Membership Charges:
The monthly membership fee is non-refundable, as you were notified 35 days prior to the charge. Upon cancellation of the membership you were charged for the discounts your received on 07/16/2024 for your oven appointment.

I am rejecting this response because: I paid $266 for the tech to reattach a cord on the dishwasher door. I should have been told whether or not it was covered BEFORE he did it. I would not have paid for services not covered. I canceled the contract After he finished the appointment. He was standing in the kitchen talking to my husband telling him to call ** about the refrigerator. If the tech was incorrect in telling me that the dishwasher was covered, that is on HIM, not me. It did not require any parts. It was a matter of reattaching the end of a cord. He did NOTHING to the refrigerator other than take a temperature reading. As it is, I paid another company to fix the refrigerator that should have been covered under the contract.

Hi ******************* records indicate a payment of $89.00 for the dishwasher service. If you made a payment of $266.00, it does not appear in our system. Could you please confirm the payment method and the date of the transaction so we can investigate further?
The technician identified the dishwasher door link issue as a result of normal wear and tear, which falls outside the scope of your warranty coverage (as specified in Section VII, Letter A of your membership terms). Despite this, the technician explained the situation to you at the time, and you consented to proceed with the repair under the standard terms and charges.We charged you $187.90 for labor, but you only paid $89.00 at the time of the repair. This leaves an outstanding balance of $98.90.
As for the refrigerator, the issue (sealed system) would have been covered under warranty, but your cancellation of the membership voided this coverage.
Please refer to the attached file for your membership terms and conditions for your reference.
We apologize if there was any misunderstanding or if our service fell short of expectations. If another provider successfully repaired the sealed system issue, we kindly request their diagnostic report for review.
Sincerely,
Aj

Hi *******,
We wanted to provide you with an update regarding your dryer service. Upon reviewing both service appointments, the new ********** has determined that the pulley and belt should have been replaced on the intial repair service. Based on this assessment, we recommend having the second ********** repair both the pulley and the belt.
Since you have already covered the labor costs, we will only charge for the pulley part, which is estimated at $75.68 plus tax.
Please let us know if youd like to proceed so we can arrange for the ********** to order the part and schedule the repair. For any questions or immediate assistance, feel free to call us at **************.

I am rejecting this response because: I called various times within the 90 period. Each call resulted in being told you would get back to me; never did. I believe you planned on waiting until the 90 period was up; which was January 2nd. I am so disappointed to have paid $407.98 and received no help in getting my refrigerator repaired. I have review numerous reviews online and people have complained about same handling of their service.

Dear *******,
We would like to provide a detailed overview of the service history for your refrigerator:
On October 3, 2024, a ********** replaced the evaporator fan motor to address the noise issue.
On October 26, 2024, you filed a guarantee request, reporting that your refrigerator was still making noise and had started leaking.
On October 28, 2024, the ********** visited your home and recommended turning the unit off for 24 hours and leaving the door open to reset the temperature control board.
On October 31, 2024, you reported that the issue persisted. As a result, we dispatched another ********** on November 4, 2024, who diagnosed a failure in the icemaker fan. The failure was determined to be due to wear and tear, unrelated to the previously replaced part.
We understand you have since filed a dispute. On November 4, 2024, we emailed you explaining that we would continue servicing your unit once the dispute was resolved. A follow-up email was sent on November 18, 2024, but we have not received a response.
To ensure your concerns are addressed promptly, we are arranging for a third ********** to assess your unit at no cost to you. We will provide an update once the ********** completes the diagnosis.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Aj

I am rejecting this response because:I had no other choice after 3 1/2 months to get another company to repair the refrigerator. **** is lying about me not responding; I called and called and was constantly told they would get back to me with no response. I contacted my credit card company again and unfortunately they paid the $407.98. I am now out of my money and have to pay another company. The lies from this merchant continue to mount. They offer a 90 day warranty on service. The ********** who came on October 2nd, only looked at ******* video and suggested I unplug the refrigerator and leave my door open for 24 hours. The second ********** Mo explained the part needed, but **** would not repair.
Emails I received:
10/31/2024 - We are sorry to hear that you are still having an issue with the unit after the most recent visit of the **********. We have taken your feedback seriously and as a result we are now sending a different ********** to reinspect your unit for second opinion.
We have scheduled the appointment for tomorrow 11/01/24 between 1-3 PM.
Once a ********** is assigned a confirmation will be sent.11/1/2024 - Due to high demand in your area, your requested appointment time is no longer available. We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
We have alternate times available for you to choose from. Please click "Select a new appt time" button below to select a new date and time that work for you.11/4/2024 - This email confirms that your appointment with us regarding your Refrigerator for Friday, Nov 15, 2024 between 1:00pm - 3:00pm has been cancelled.
Should you wish to book a new appointment with us, you can do so by visiting ************ or by clicking the 'book a service' button below.11/18/2024 - We have received your request, and we are sorry to hear about the current issue of the unit. We understand your concerns and are committed in resolving your issue as promptly as possible.
However, it appears that there is still an open dispute for the repair charges. Thus, before we proceed with the service we kindly ask to drop the current dispute as our policy requires any outstanding disputes to be resolved to proceed with the service. This ensures that we can focus entirely on addressing the unit's problem, following the process without
any conflicting issues.
Once the dispute is dropped, we can send the ********** back immediately.

I am rejecting this response because:I lost $407.98 and received no repair and had to pay out $306 on 1/14/2025 for proper repair of my refrigerator, 3 months after using ****. After constant back and forth, constant calling the merchant, as well as my credit card company with no resolution. To offer $50 is a slap in the face. I would never use this service, nor would I recommend to anyone. The company that came yesterday was professional, resolved issue and I finally have my appliance up and working.

I contacted ************ for repair my ** dryer on 1/2/25. I was put in contact with repair technician ********. ******** came to my home and diagnosed a defective part. It was to late to obtain defective part and he would return the following day. The laundry area was small. ******** disassembled the dryer and never once asked me to remove the door. He returned the following day and completed the work. I did check to ensure the dryer was getting out. I went into the laundry room to clean up and mop the floor. Upon entering the laundry room I noticed the paint on the door was damaged. I immediately telephoned ******** and asked him to return. He advised me me was 20 minutes away and would not return. I texted him the pictures. He said he did not do the damage. You could tell the damage was FRESH. I found an 800 number for ************ and telephoned them. I spoke with a ***** and ****. I emailed them the same pictures and advised you could see the damage was new. I advised them I wanted my door repaired. They stated they would have to contact ********. I also sent them the picture of the custom paint label from ******* ******** paint. On 1/3/25 **** got back with me to state they would not be able to repair my door. I now search the Internet looking for a street address and was not able to locate however I did find negative experiences customers had.

Dear *****,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience with ****. We sincerely apologize that our service did not meet your expectations and for any frustration this may have caused.
At ****, we are committed to ensuring that every service call is handled professionally and efficiently. We're pleased to hear that the technician demonstrated professionalism during the visit.
To accurately diagnose the issue, the technician must personally assess the unit and identify the root cause of the problem. We apologize if there was any misunderstanding about the repair process or if it wasnt clearly explained during the initial visit.
After reviewing the technicians diagnostic report, it appears that the gas valve and the left front igniter rod were identified as faulty and require replacement. As part of our process, repairs can only proceed once the necessary parts are available. Unfortunately, the technician did not have the required parts during the initial visit. A service call fee is collected for the diagnosis, and if you choose to move forward with the repair, this amount will be credited toward the final service cost. The technician will order the parts and schedule a follow-up visit once the part arrive.
Regarding the technicians qualifications, please rest assured that all our technicians are thoroughly vetted and highly skilled specialists in their respective fields, including appliances such as cooktops. Each technician undergoes a rigorous screening process before joining our network to ensure they meet our professional standards.
Lastly, please note that our technicians operate as independent contractors, **** act as an middle man to facilitate their services.
We value your feedback and your trust in ****. If theres anything further we can assist with, or if you have additional concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,

I am rejecting this response because:The independent contractor here and/or **** have both failed to disclose to me upon several requests whom provided service call (contact info) and their qualifications/bonding/contractor license to do such work. This information is normally provided, especially for a legitimate business receipt/transaction. Valid Name , Phone, Address, license/bond and insurance help identify the qualified from the unqualified or fraudulent persons. Foremost, contact info, bond/license will allow me to locate the responsible person if ever needed in the future, in regards to a specific service provided. If ****, or this independent contractor are legitimate, then there is nothing to worry about here. Writing something on your **** mission statement does not qualify as valid credentials nor contact info if I need to contact someone. I expect normal lookup information needed to verify credentials or bonding of the person responsible for billing me here. Without such customary normal disclosure, what business does Puls Technologies have sending possibly unqualified persons to house calls at the homeowners risk. Right now, Im fortunate this was only a ****** diagnosis and not a repair I have no way of verifying is anyway home safe unless I find a qualified bonded/ licensed contractor/handyman.

Dear *********,
We appreciate you choosing our service and want to provide clarity regarding your recent appointment and refund.
You booked an appointment on December 22, 2024, during which the technician diagnosed that your dryer is not heating on any setting. The inspection revealed that both the gas valve ignition and the igniter are defective. You paid $166.84, comprising an $89 service call fee and a 15% deposit of $77.84.
On December 27, 2024, the technician informed us that replacing the necessary part would require work on the gas line. Unfortunately, handling gas lines is outside the technicians scope of expertise. Therefore, the technician recommended contacting a licensed gas company to address this issue.
To assist with the situation, we scheduled an appointment today between 12 PM and 2 PM for the technician to reassemble your dryer. Additionally, we will be issuing a refund for the 15% deposit you paid.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. While we strive to provide the highest quality service, the technicians qualifications limit our ability to resolve this specific issue.
To process your refund promptly, kindly verify your credit card number ending in 2343.
Thank you for your understanding, and please dont hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or need assistance.

They also offered a 10% discount on the next ********** 3:32PM, I emailed support again to let them know the tech still had not shown up, and if she didn't arrive by 4PM EST, I would need to cancel. I didn't get a response until 5:51PM, more than 2 hours later, saying they were unable to reach the tech. Support asked if I wanted to reschedule for the following day with a new tech and I said yes. I did however request the 10% discount for the current service.I never heard back from support.Business response

Dear Yendia,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the delay and lack of communication regarding your scheduled handyman service. Providing seamless and reliable service is our priority, and its clear we fell short in this instance.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for a technician who failed to arrive as scheduled, compounded by delayed updates from our support team. Your time is valuable, and we regret not meeting your expectations.
Heres what weve done to address this situation:
Technician Follow-Up: The assigned technician, who was unresponsive despite multiple attempts to reach her, has been issued a TIR (Technician Incident Report).
Rescheduling Your Appointment: We understand you agreed to reschedule for the today. However, since your message was received mid-day, scheduling an appointment for today may not be feasible. Could you kindly let us know your availability for tomorrow? We will prioritize your request to ensure timely service.
Process Improvements: We are actively reviewing our internal communication processes to ensure urgent matters, such as missed appointments, are handled more swiftly in the future.
Your feedback has been escalated to our operations team, and we are committed to making the necessary adjustments to prevent similar occurrences moving forward.
Sincerely,
Aj

I am rejecting this response because:I responded to the message they sent me via email and did not receive a reply indicating what I wrote as a response is no longer applicable.
The response I gave is below and attached:
Thank you for the follow-up. I want to confirm that I responded 7 minutes after the email was sent regarding rescheduling. If it wasn't feasible for a tech to be rescheduled for today because of the time of the conversation, then today should not have been presented as an option in the correspondence.
With that being said, I do have availability tomorrow for the same time the original tech was supposed to arrive yesterdaySincerely,
