    In December of 2023, we had a resident who required a sewer line repair. Our contact for this program advised us that they had a program called the ***** Program, that would assist our residents who could not afford to affect the repair, regardless of whether they purchased the Warranty. This was a big deciding factor in endorsing this Product. When I attempted to assist an older gentleman with this application, just before Christmas, I was sent back and forth between **** and ********* for 4 hours only to find out that this program, that was used to get us on board, may or may not exist and is only available in the United States.

    Date: 20/12/2023

    We are
    in receipt of the complaint filed by Ms. ***** and regret to learn of her dissatisfaction. ********* USA places our customers at the heart of
    everything we do and considers customer satisfaction of utmost importance. We take customer complaints seriously and are happy to
    report that the issue is resolved.

    In response to this complaint, a
    member of *********’s Office of the President conducted a detailed
    investigation. It was discovered that Ms. ***** is not a *********
    customer but rather the Deputy Clerk of the Town ** *******. She was inquiring
    on behalf of a Canadian consumer in relation to the Service Line Warranties of
    Canada (SLWC) Carers Fund for non-customers. There was a misunderstanding
    during her communication with *********, leading to the incorrect information
    that no such SLWC Carers fund existed.
    A representative
    from our Office of the President (“OTP”) liaised with the SLWC Account
    Management, who then reached out to Ms. ***** to clarify the process for
    accessing the SLWC Carers services. An SLWC Carers representative has also been
    in touch with the concerned consumer to assess his eligibility for assistance
    in Sewer Septic Line repair. A contractor has been assigned to provide a
    diagnosis and estimate. Following the estimate, our SLWC representative will
    maintain communication with both the consumer and Ms. *****.
    We hope
    this response adequately addresses Ms. *****' concerns. We appreciate you
    bringing this matter to our attention and giving us the opportunity to
    respond.

    I had work done in October, paid for it all it came to $6300. I input it all the information that the company needed to send me my reimbursement. I was waiting for another invoice as the finance manager of the other company that I was using to do, all the digging was away. I sent it to the reimbursement company that i was told to send it to. They said to me that I should have a check within 14 days. Well, we are now looking at. 2 months now and I have not received any reimbursement check. I have called multiple times and kept getting run around. All I would like is my funds back as I pay in to this and I am not impressed at all. This company feels like a scam and all there out there is to get your money. They will not reimburse you if you go with another company and not the one they choose. We live in a small town so I did not like the company that they were giving because I had to pay alot more out of my pocket. So I went with a smaller company which was a lot less.

    Complaint: ********



    I am rejecting this response because:

    I was called on Dec 20th after I received the cheque and was told that she would email me all her contact information, which never happened.  She then informed me that she was going to do a full investigation on what had happened and let me know her findings via email, still haven't heard anything. This was the 2nd time that head office said they were going to email and nothing.  I feel as though head office gets the BBB complaints calls the client and makes promises and never keeps. I also found out that the cheque was never sent out till Dec 14th so all the previous times they informed it was sent was ****.



    Sincerely,



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

    On August 4-2023,I made a payment totaling 140.99 on my credit card, because the cheques that I had sent for this service were not received in time. On or about August 14, they cashed the cheques but failed to refund me the monies paid by credit card. I have been in touch twice with these people trying to get a refund. My last conversation was on Aug.25-2023 when I was promised a refund on my credit card within 7 business days. As of today I haven’t received a refund. I trust you can get this resolved for me.
