  On July 19, 2013 I paid Service Plus Home Warrenty $2,250.00 for a 6 year appliance warrenty. I filed a claim on January 20, 2025 and there has been no action taken. I attempted to call the company 6 times and got a recording stating they were not taking calls at this time and to call later. There are many complaints about this company and I hope I have not been scammed out of this money. I am retired and on a fixed income and have many medical expenses from surgeries and hospitalizations. Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.

  Washer stopped working. Called and reported a claim. Repair man come. Paid him $75 as per policy. Policy state repair or replace of appliance. Technician ordered parts. Did not receive a call or email from service plus. When I called a couple of weeks later. They told me the appliance was too old to replace. Informed me a check was coming for $257 I informed them that was not enough money to replace washer. They told me due to age of the washer. They would not replace washer. It is around 17 years old. A check was approved on 10/22/24 for the $257. Was told it would take 8-10 weeks before the check would be sent which would have been 12/22/24. They just keep telling me it would be sent. Still no check. Have spoke to many different employees and Supervisors that keep telling me the same thing. In the meanwhile they told me the account has to be up to date before a check will be mailed. I keep having to pay a company that has not done what they were suppose to do. So I want to choose another insurance company, but I am still paying for a service that was not done as promised. I want the money I am owed, then I will cancel policy and go with a different insurance company.

My experience has revealed significant discrepancies between their "pitched" coverage and actual service delivery.The specific issues include:1.

  September 29 2024 we had a technician come to our house to service a broken freezer we paid $100 service fee. We were told that it can’t be fixed because the freezer is to old and they can’t get the part worth apx $200. I got a message that I should call the company for further assistance. I expected them to replace the item as current cost they said they would only give me 200 the cost of the repair they said it’s in the contract when I took out the policy I was told replace the item. Either way they agreed to give me $375. The claim was approved October 9th. They said it can take 6-8 weeks for the check to come in the mail. Each time I call I am told check was not yet processed. When I ask for a supervisor I’m told we will escalate the issue. She I ask about speaking with the department that cuts the check they tell me they have no access to that department.

  I purchased a ServicePlus home warranty when I bought my new home, hoping it would provide peace of mind for any unexpected issues. However, every time I submitted a claim, the company denied it, citing either pre-existing conditions or stating that the issue wasnt covered under their policy.After my most recent claim, submitted on December 18, 2024, was also denied, I decided to cancel my policy on December 20. I requested reimbursement for the payments I made from September through December 2024, as the company provided no assistance for any of the issues I encountered. They refused to refund me, despite charging me $40 per month ($200 total) for a service they failed to deliver.Dealing with ServicePlus has been a frustrating experience. Their representatives are dismissive, unhelpful, and quick to find excuses to reject claims. This company feels like a scam, as they continue to collect monthly fees without providing any meaningful service.Let me know if youd like further adjustments!

  Claim for Garage Door Opener 9/30/2024
  The consumer filed a claim for a garage door opener, reporting that the door was not opening or closing fully. Upon evaluation by a participating vendor, it was determined that the motor of the double-door garage opener had seized.
  Since the policy became effective on 9/15/2024, it was concluded that this failure could not have occurred within the brief active period of the policy. Instead, it was identified as a known/unknown pre-existing condition and, therefore, a non-covered issue under the terms of the policy.
  Basis for Coverage:
  B. Are in place and in proper working order on the effective date of this Agreement.
  In an effort to assist, we extended a goodwill offer of $100.00 toward the non-covered condition.
  Claim for Built-In Microwave 12/18/2024
  The consumer also placed a claim for a built-in microwave, reporting sparks inside the unit. The consumer was informed that arcing is classified as a non-covered condition per the Service Agreement.
  Microwave Coverage Details:
  COVERED: All mechanical components and parts, except:
  NOT COVERED: Doors, hinges, handles, glass, knobs, lights, clocks (unless they affect the cooking function), meat probe assemblies, rotisseries, racks and trays, interior linings, arcing, and portable or countertop units.
  Policy Cancellation 12/20/2024
  The consumer requested to cancel the policy on 12/20/2024. With the policy cancellation, the goodwill offer of $100.00 was revoked. However, in an effort to further assist, we refunded one monthly payment of $40.00 and waived the $50 administrative fee at the time of cancellation.
  Cancellation Terms:
  XII. CANCELLATION
  C. Mutual agreement of us and you. If this Agreement is canceled after thirty (30) days, the consumer is entitled to a pro-rata refund for the unexpired term, less a $50 administrative fee and any service costs (including goodwill or settlement payments).

  Complaint: 22713543
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Despite raising several requests, no technician was ever sent to inspect the issues, yet my claims were automatically denied. Each time, I was provided with a section of your policy as justification, but no effort was made to properly assess the situation.
  
  
  This is not the first issue I have encountered with your company. Additionally, I have found the staff to be consistently unhelpful and rude, further contributing to my dissatisfaction.
  
  
  Due to these experiences, I have canceled my contract as I no longer wish to be associated with a company that fails to provide adequate service or support. I feel misled, as I paid for a service that was never renderednot even a technician visit.
  
  
  I am requesting a full refund of the payments I have made, as no services were provided to me. Please address this matter urgently.

  WE had a vent from the bathroom that comes out under our kitchen sink. Water had started gushing out of the vent anytime we had to use the kitchen sink or the dishwasher.While We have been paying faithfully for well over a year through auto draft. Our deductable is $125 to file a claim and receive a repair. I believe that since there seem to be no sense of urgency.....and after 4 days I had to do the repair myself. I feel like they should pay me the $125 for my trouble. We have this home warranty so we don't have to worry when something comes up. Now I'm not so sure that is the case.

  Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the referenced complaint. We take every complaint seriously and view customer feedback as an opportunity to improve the quality of service we provide to our valued customers.
  The complaint in question involves a plumbing system claim placed on December 2, 2024, where water was reported flowing from a vent under the sink when the dishwasher was running. To avoid delays including limited availability of participating vendors in your area, we extended an option for reimbursement. This allowed the customer to work with a local vendor of your choice for diagnosis and repair.
  Under this reimbursement process:
  1.The vendor would contact us prior to making repairs to report the failure, including parts and pricing.
  2.Once the repair was approved and completed, the customer would submit a paid receipt for reimbursement.
  Subsequently, on December 10, 2024, we were able to assign a participating vendor to service the claim. We are currently waiting for the diagnosis in order to proceed forward with the claim. 
  We assure you that all actions taken have been in compliance with the terms outlined in the Service Agreement. Our goal is to provide fair, transparent, and timely resolutions while ensuring a positive customer experience.

  I am rejecting this response because: The plumbing problem was more of a right now fix needed instead of a we'll get to it when we can. We couldn't use our kitchen sink during this time period. It took you 8 days to assign someone then the time for them to reach out to set up an appointment. I don't know how anyone can go without the use of the busiest room in the house. Your pitch is pay us and let us take care of unexpected problems within the house. It's not highlighted that it will take as long as it takes to get it fixed and our sense of urgency is non existent. We have paid Service Plus for a long while, never late on a pymt yet we get this service. (almost $600 yearly) We have received nothing for our loyalty. Not real pleased and not as confident that I have a safety net in case something comes up. I will be rethinking my partnership with the Service Plus company. There are other companies that offer these services.

  I know you've covered your bases so you have an out to treat customers like this, so I'm not expecting any business etiquette or loyalty or an attempt just to do the right thing.

  I appreciate your time.

  My complaint is on record.

Why would you open a claim if you weren't going to cover it? Service Plus is the worst company to do business with. I called service plus and asked them why was my claim denied. I was told because my keypad needs reprograming. Ok! The bottom line is my garage door is not opening, and I have a home warranty that covers that, but they won't pay to get it fixed. I requested a full refund. They said I couldn't get a refund at this time. I would never do business with this company again. To me Service plus just dispatches companies to your residence to collect a service fee. I made several claims with this company and they did not cover not one claim.

  Thank you for contacting us regarding your recent experience. We value your feedback and strive to treat every concern with the utmost respect. Your input helps us continuously improve the services we provide to our valued customers.
  The customer placed a claim on December 3, 2024, for a garage door opener that was not functioning as expected. Upon inspection, the participating vendor determined the issue to be with the garage door itself, which was not properly aligned. Additionally, adjustments were needed for the sensors and remote controls. Unfortunately, these conditions fall outside the coverage scope of the policy, which addresses normal wear-and-tear mechanical failures.
  For clarification, per the Service Agreement:
  Garage Door Opener Coverage:
  Covered: All components and parts, except:
  Not Covered: Garage doors; hinges; springs; sensors; chains; travelers; door track assemblies; rollers; lights; keypads; wall buttons; remote receiving and/or transmitting devices.
  We also noted that the $45 service charge fee was not paid at the time of service to the vendor by the customer. In an effort to assist, we covered this fee on the customers behalf to help facilitate the vendors visit and provide support.
  Please rest assured that all claims have been processed in accordance with the Service Agreement, which outlines both inclusions and exclusions. We remain committed to delivering a positive customer experience and ensuring fairness for all our customers, contractors, and partners.
