      I'm a customer of Home Serve and on May 20th a company was sent out to repair my AC unit and I was told that it was determined that the AC unit was bad and needed to be replaced. And asked if I wanted a estimate on this. He didn't examine the unit just looked at my furnace.

      I then called Home Serve and asked if I could have another company come out for a second opinion and was told "no" by the dispatcher who answered the phone and she said what he said was the final say and if I did get a second opinion it would be at my decision other than Home Serve.

      I then called **** ******* *** ******* a local company and they came out last week and fixed the AC unit that your contractor said was nonrepairable.

      I'm sending you a copy of the bill with an itemized explanation of repairs which totaled $579.00.

      I'm asking for a full reimbursement of the money I have to pay **** ******* *** ******* to do a job they didn't do.

      from Home Serve and I've submitted the information needed for a full reimburse for
      the repair. The case will be closed upon payment. Attached is a copy of the
      message from Home Serve.

      Good Morning,

      reimbursement. Please fill out boxes 3 – 12 and sign it. Once you have filled
      out the form send it back to me in a reply to this email and I will process
      your reimbursement. If you have any additional questions I can be reached.

      Homeserve was affiliated with *** until the end of 2023. Homeserve sent a letter stating that starting Jan 2024 they would start mailing a separate bill and increased their prices. On the letter sent, it said if you would like to continue their services to submit the perforated bottom letter in the included envelope to continue the services. I did not send the agreement in. I thought that sufficed and it was over, nothing else needed done. On June 5th, I received a bill for $55.24 stating that my account has been canceled. I called Homeserve on Friday June 7th to find out what to do about it and they said to call ***. So I did. *** said I needed to call Homeserve. So today, June 10th I called Homeserve and basically had to argue my case and the lady reluctantly helped to get it resolved. When I asked if the payment owed was down to zero payment due she said I can disregard the bill. I asked again if it was zero owed and she said she can give me a reference number. I asked a 3rd time and again she reluctantly said yes. I asked for an email stating the payment due of zero and she said she couldn't. I asked for a supervisor and she said it would take 24-48 hours for a call back. I gave up and got the reference number. I spoke with a miss Josephine. The reference number given me is ********. I do not want this to go against my credit because I have spent the last 4 months fixing it to get a car because I need one for job transportation. If this goes on my credit, I will have to start all over again and refuse to have to do that for a service I did not sign up for.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: I am concerned that this business will evade all responsibility for damages done during covered services by claiming that the home was old and that the damages had been done prior to the service.  This is what they did with me.  Despite finding flooded floors and weeping walls 2 days after clearing, they claimed that the pipes that I had been paying $20 per month for protection had broken earlier and the damage was cumulative.  These "so called" service companies are just a scam.  Save an emergency fund to deal with unexpected repairs and don't foolishly believe that the service you purchased to assist you will actually fulfill your claim.  I also believe that there is some bait and switch techniques being used.  I called to ask for leaking faucet service.  They set up an appointment and technicians came.  They then said that they could not do anything because the leak was with the faucets and they don't work on faucets.  I had said faucets to Homeserve and Stott Plumbing but they didn't say anything until they showed up when I had taken time off.  Having grown up working for my family construction company, I find it questionable that leaky faucets are caused by leaky pipes.  Read the tiny tiny print because their idea of plumbing is very limited to pipes and certainly excludes old pipes.  I intend to follow through with a consumer advocacy program with ***, the state ******** ******* ******, the ******** ********* office and the contractor licensing bureau.

      I have a sewer line replacement warranty with HomeServe and they refuse to fix my collasped sewer line because there is a small coupler from when a plumber tried to clear the collasped line that is backing sewage into my basement stuck in the line. It's stuck because the sewer line has shifted from age. This is a warrantied issue that needs repair. I am steadily having to pump sewage from the basement and this is a major health issue.

      Hello!
      For over a month I have been trying to correct the over payment made of my account. I have two accounts with HomeServe, ** *** **** *********** ** **********. With the second notice, I thought I paid the wrong account (reason for second payment).
      Made my first payment 3/13/2024 – wire transfer from my bank
      Second payment paid after I received a second notice on 4/11/2024; wire transfer from my bank
      When I receive a third notice of non-payment, that’s when I realized I have paid them twice. I called to tell them I already paid them twice through my bank (wire transfer). They said payment never received. So I requested a copy of the wire transfers from my bank; which took 10 days.
      Once received, copies of the wire transfers were send to a Cierra J****** at *********************.
      When I called on 5/9/2024 the representative acknowledged receipt of the information and will review.
      I received a letter dated May 1, 2024; called the number on the letter 5/13/2024 and representative confirmed I am due a refund and it was to be processed 5/16/2024 with check being mailed.
      Also I told him I didn’t authorize any auto payment from my credit card. He told me he cancelled the auto pay (5/13/2024) and that weekend I received a charge on my credit card.
      With the charge on my card, that makes 3 payments of $179.88 they have received.
      Yesterday I called again and talked to a Ivette, who put me on hold for 33 minutes while she researched my issue. When she came back, she told me she was trying to a manager on the line; but they were all busy and someone would call be back in 24 hours. It is over the 24 hours and no call.
      I hope you can help me with my problem. I have received 3 notices on a bill I paid in March 2024.
      Sincerely your,

      I've had HomeServe as my plumbing services insurance company for over a year. over a month ago I called them because I had issues with several drains at my home, they told me that someone would call me within 48 hours. Since no one had contacted me after a week I called again. I've called many times since and they always say that someone will contact me but no one does. The only time that someone did, he said that he would call me again but he never did. I called them again and asked for a supervisor. This was weeks ago and no one has contacted me. They are still billing me every month though. I'm starting to wander if this is a real company. Can they charge for insurance providing services and then don't do anything. Is this legal?

      On June 4, 2024, Mr. ***** contacted OTP in response to the message he
      had received. Mr. ***** was advised the job had been reassigned and the
      contractor was available to attend that afternoon. However, he was not

      the contractor.  

      On June 7, 2024, the OTP member
      contacted Mr. ***** who confirmed that the contractor had snaked the line and
      advised that the toilet needed to be replaced due to its age, which was causing
      the backup.  

      As a courtesy, for service
      delays, Mr. ***** was provided with a goodwill payment to support the cost of a

      **** ****** switched my HVAC plan from ********* to Homeserve. For the past eight months, I've tried to get my AC fixed, but Homeserve keeps giving the same excuse about syncing systems and never sends a technician. When I escalate the issue, they give me the number for the office of the president of Homeserve, but the number is not in service. **** blames Homeserve, and Homeserve blames ****, resulting in a lot of finger-pointing between the two. I had to pay for the repairs myself, and now Homeserve won't respond or give me a refund. I am stuck without any help. I want to cancel the plan and get a refund of $328 for the eight months I paid without receiving service.

      There portal is useless and it is fraud it shows no plan or email options or anything. Any kind of service is non existent. Please see the screenshot attached.

      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      Homeseerve did call back and they restored my account and also scheduled the maintenance call to help me out.

       I appreciate BBBs help in getting this completed.



      Sincerely,



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

      On March 18th I paid for the full year policy
      On April 25th this business was called by me because they charged me AGAIN for the same year
      My bank confirmed both payments as processed with confirmation numbers
      Homeserve has claimed they never received the March 18th payment and that I had no policy on file; and would need pay an additional renewal fee (this was said in the call in April 25th)

      I made them aware that in the interim between March 18th and April 25th I received a renewal paper packet confirming my payment.


      They said they would refund me but INSISTED it could ONLY be via check. I chose to give them an opportunity to fix this despite my bank telling me these transactions triggered their fraud alerts.

      So on April 25th (yes this call was over 2 hours) I was told to call back on May 3rd if I still had not received my check

      I have since called back on May 3rd, May 16th AND May 24th; wherein they basically said they don’t know where the money is and each time they needed my information collected ALL OVER

      But no resolution has come. I’m currently without coverage to my sewer lines because they’ve taken all this money and I’ve had no resolution.

      For several years I have had a "Heat Pump Repair Plan" with Homeserve. I estimate at least $600 in paid premiums (which have steady increased without notice). I cannot accurately account for how much I've paid in premiums because Homeserve does not let you see that information on your account (can assume this is intentional so you don't think about it when you have a claim denied). I subscribed to the plan because their own website says it covers "major components and parts, including the cooling system or air conditioning breakdown."

      Last week it get's hot, turn on AC and it doesn't work. Make a claim with Homeserve, technician determines the compressor has burnt up. Homeserve says that their plan excludes compressors. For anyone who knows anything about HVAC systems, the compressor is the heart of the system, the main part, the majorest of major components.

      When Homeserve denied my claim, I requested for a return of all premiums paid since it would not cover the repair of my heat pump. I was told that because they dispatched a technician (on my first and only claim" that I was not entitled to any refund.

      I wish I had looked up Homeserve on the BBB's website, I would have stayed away and not ever given a dime to a business with such a track record (averages over 300 complaints a year on BBB alone).
