      Status:
      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.

      I was charged over $200 for someone supposedly walking around my house, checking mouse bates. I do not have video of this person on my property, nor do I have ANY evidence that they ever came to my property. Now I'm having to dispute this charge in collections. If you plan to have this company help you, make sure that they ONLY come when you are there; if they are not willing to plan their visits around your schedule, then I would not recommend hiring them, or else they can make up whatever they want to bill you for, like they did me.
