      Resolved
      I have Power of Attorney to handle business matter for my parents, ********* *** **** ****. On 3/7/24, my parent's had unauthorized charges from American Pest on their checking account ($67.69 and 71.07). On 3/14/24 I contacted AmericanPest who advised me to dispute these charges with the bank. Charges were disputed and the bank said the charges were authorized by AmericanPest. I advised AmericanPest that the charges were deemed by the bank as authorized charges. I have followed up on phone and via email with AmericanPest six times only to be told they are working on this. AmericanPest should credit these charges to my parents account instead of us having to wait until they can figure out their error.

      When this company bought out **** ******* several years ago it went straight down hill. I had many problems with customer service telling me I don't have vent contract with them which I have my paid bills and contract papers and they have poor communication. After many phones and hours trying to resolve a vent situation a technician was sent out a week later to correct my problem. He came today and said everything look goods???? My complaint and order was to put in a total new vent package as the entire vent was bent out of shape and the casing would continually fall. He didn't even notice that? what kind of inspection is that?? I order a total new package vent not an inspection. The manager I spoke to at the home office didn't pay attention to my need and just wrote needs inspection??? Now I made another complaint and wait for feedback to see if they will come and replace the entire unit. I pay $46.00 a year for vent insurance what good is it if they can't even understand the problem. PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS COMPANY. No one takes responsibility. I speak English but no one understands it. Waiting to hear if I get the new vent ..when ever they call back?? Having insurance with them is a hassle

      Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. I am sorry that you were not satisfied with our vent maintenance service visit. Our technician confirmed that, while your vents are all working as needed, one was popping out and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, our technicians do not have replacement vents on their vehicles and often need to confirm the location and size to order the correct replacement. We have placed an order and will contact you when it arrives, so we can schedule time to replace it.

      Please contact me directly if you have additional questions.
