      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On January 31st, 2024, I called Utility Shield and requested to cancel my Total line protection plan. The monthly charge is $19.95 and for some reason they double bill sometimes then the next month there is no charge. This is done through Citizens Energy group in Indianapolis. I asked the rep about this and he thought the extra payment was making up for one missed in 2020. I had the receipts for that year and it was the scenario I mentioned of a double billing then no billing but then the price was $14.95 so it could not be related as claimed. Then he went on to say that coverage would remain until Feb 21st with the payment. So I let it go until I got a letter saying the coverage was cancelled on Jan. 31st. I contend that the company owes me the 21 days worth of payment from February 1st to Feb 21st which would be $13.96. I made a $39.90 payment on the bill due Feb.10,2024 through Citizens Energy Group.

      I don't understand why at the beginning of a new year they cannot send a technician out to check my plumbing. They recommended I pay out of pocket for this - which is what I HAD TO DO during holidays when I had plumbing issue and would have to wait on this company for 2-3 days to even get a call back. I guess they don't want my business anymore???
