      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I am dealing with my deceased aunt's estate. I put a stop to the automatic payments after she passed as there was no way to cancel this service. None of the links on their website work and they do not provide an email address. I called them to cancel the service and they told me I had to email a copy of the death certificate to their email. They then proceeded to tell me a fake email address. I know it was a fake email address because it did not contain any @(then an address) it was only a name. Needless to say you cannot email something without telling the server where to send it. And I even said to the person I spoke with "There's no at sign? Like @gmail.com?" The response was "No." I then had my attorney send a letter to this company to inform them that she has in fact passed away. The bills have continued to be sent. I called yet again and spoke to someone who said we told you that you have to send an email to which I replied the email address you gave does not work. The person then slowly spelled out the whole email address and I then read it back to them. We agreed that I had copied the address correctly and that I would send the death certificate immediately. After hanging up the phone I checked to see if the email they provided me was valid or not, and no surpise it is not a valid email. The email I was told to send to this time was **************************************************** This email does not exist. However, if you ad an "s" and make it ***************************************************************** it is a valid email address. I assumed that even though we very carefully went over the address, maybe they forget an "s" as it is in the company name. I sent them an email on February 13, 2024 providing them with the death certificate as well as the account number in question. I received no response and the bills have continued to come. I believe this is a fraudulent company that takes money with no way of canceling their "service." They should be investigated and prosecuted.

      First let me state that I was directed to the "Oncourse Home Solutions" website, after going to "yourhomesolutions,com" as directed on my mailing from "Pivotal Home Solutions". So I have ensured that I am putting in a review for the right company. This is a big red flag in my book.I just received a postcard informing me of a $14.49/mo increase in my furnace coverage. When I originally signed up for the coverage it was $20/mo. Now they decide they want the increase with never having had to provide any service. $1680 (according to their rep, (after she made some calculations) payed to date, and unless I agree to pay the increase, they will have gotten a lot of money, for nothing. When I called the number on the post card, the young lady with a foreign accent first responded to my question of "Where are you located?" with "********". When I questioned further as to where she was "physically" located, she refused to tell me, stating privacy issues. I'm now waiting on hold, for a supervisor. I can no longer trust this company. I'm not throwing good money after bad, and would hope no one else will. My next stop will be a complaint to both the state, and ***** gas, who perpetuated this by including an offer in their bill mailing. PS The "Supervisor" ******** came on the line, after waiting 40+ minutes on hold, and tried to equate my complaint, with one for an increase in egg prices at Jewel. "Prices are going up universally" she said. I would expect them to increase prices for new policies, not penalize their customers who've been with them for years. She told me she could transfer me to someone who could discuss my pricing "if I wanted to cancel". Needles to say, I cancelled. Sad
