Re: # ******** *********************
Dear BBB Customer Relations:
Before going further, we do want to note that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing longer than normal response times to work with a representative. We have been impacted by the global supply chain shortage which has caused delays in processing concessions and benefits. The pandemic has also impacted repair services, availability of parts, and delivery of replacement products. We apologize for any delays and inconveniences resulting from this pandemic. We are doing our very best to provide the services as safely and quickly as possible including our responses to complaints such as those filed with the BBB. We appreciate everyones patience.
We do sell the Sears branded Sears Home Warranty (***) to our customers and we believe it presents a great value to them as well as an alternative choice to the product specific protection agreement coverage we have carried for years and that we also continue to sell. Sometimes as part of our sale of the **** we might have a promotion that will discount the service on a non-working appliance in exchange for purchasing the *** for at least a period of time that would cost equal to the discount provided (usually a maximum discount of $150.00). If the contract is canceled before at least the discounted amount is collected in the form of monthly charges, even when no other service is used, then the promotion is invalidated and the full amount of the repair is due.
Once the coverage becomes active though 30 days after purchase, and we would note that items are expected to be in good working order at the onset of coverage and if they are not, it could be considered to have a pre-existing condition that could cause it to not be covered, we are no longer involved with the contract.The actual *** contract is issued, administered, and the obligor is listed to be, different entities dependent on the state where issued; but all are subsidiaries of Cinch Home Services. When the *** number is called, it is their customer service that is dispatching service and they make any decisions regarding replacement of product and the application of any terms and conditions of the contract, including whether something is covered or not.There are times that Sears might be the service provider used if we have technicians available in the area and provide the service needed, and other times that other service providers might be contracted by Cinch.
In this case, ************** has had a *** since September 2021. At this time we have forwarded this complaint over to our direct contacts at Cinch and they are committed to fairly resolving any issues we send to them but they will enforce the terms of the contract. If ************** feels they do not take care of this issue or that they still have a valid dispute against the terms of this coverage, they are also able to file a complaint directly against his Sears Home Warranty/Cinch by filing with the ******* BBB. Prior to doing so, Cinch does state on their BBB site:
If you are considering filing a complaint through BBB, Homesure of ******** **** would like customers to contact their customer service ********************** at **************. Homesure staff are available to support you from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., (ET) Monday through Friday. General Support for new and existing claims is available 24/7 using the primary contact number associated with your warranty.
With that said, since we do have them working on ************** issue we have entered this information to close this out on our end as there is nothing further we are able to do since we do not administer the contract.
Sincerely,

I purchased a Kenmore refrigerator in summer 2021. The freezer and fridge sporadically vary temp. Freezer will thaw food, fridge will freeze liquids. I had numerous service calls, several which were cancelled Mar-May 2022. Last service was Sept. 12, 2021. The fridge continues to freeze the liquids one week, then they thaw out eventually and refreeze. I scheduled an appt. 2 weeks ago and was told a service tech would come out Oct. 11 between 8-12:00. As I was planning to stay home again 10/11/2022, realizing I have not received a text/email message, I called SHS, and they have no record of the service order. The warranty is now up and the unit has not worked properly since it was purchased. I had to buy a smaller fridge in Dec. 2021 to keep frozen food and vegetables in. I have called numerous times with no success in resolving my claim as well. I suggested a swap out or refund, but am told it has to be serviced. My wife and I have used at least 6 vacation and unpaid days off work for this.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I did not receive the delivery on Nov. 22, 2022 that I agreed to and received no response. Upon reopening this case, a new delivery is set for Dec. 27, 2022. I will not close the case until the delivery is made. If delivery is not made, I am requesting a full refund of my original purchase, plus the additional $571.56 I paid Sears on November 4, 2022 (receipt # ************). The refrigerator is still not working properly and has not worked since October 2021.

Situation: Case *******. My range (covered under Master Protection Plan) has not properly worked since April 1, 2022. After 3 technicians attempted to repair and installed replacement parts the issue was not resolved. I was approved for a replacement range on Jul 27, 2022. When I contacted the Benefits Team, the replacement was selected and ordered. I was given a delivery date of Sep 24, 2022. The range was delivered, and I was told the installer would follow. I waited the majority of the day for the installer, when I called the Benefits department, I was told no one would be coming and I would be contacted on Monday. Monday came and went, by Wednesday evening I called back. 1. Sep 28th - I was informed none of Sears installers had accepted the order. The rep stated she would escalate the request and I would have a response within 48 hours. (Day 5 of the range in a box sitting at my front corridor)2. Oct 4th - I called ************** to follow up when the installer would be scheduled. I was told there is "NOT A INSTALLER IN YOUR AREA. THEREFORE, YOU WILL NEED TO FIND SOMEONE YOURSELF." I live in the ****** / ******** Metroplex. I do not live in a rural community, so this response makes absolutely no sense. Upon requesting to speak to a Supervisor I was transferred to yet another customer rep who had no clue. I called the Master Protection Plan *************) main number, and the rep told me he would submit a form for a supervisor to call me back. It has been over 5 days; I haven't received a call yet. (Day 16 of the range in a box sitting at my front corridor)On Oct 6th, I emailed and left a voice message for *****************************, Executive Member Support Team Manager, *************, ********************************************* NO RESPONSE.I have also sent an message via LinkIn to ***************************, Chief Executive Officer at Sears Home Services.

I purchased a new **** ft Freezer and a Sears Home Services extended warranty in August of 2020. The compressor on my unit went out in July 2022. After waiting over a MONTH for a repair technician, he finally showed up and ordered parts, and then scheduled an appointment for a month later to actually repair my freezer. After a month of waiting for parts which didn't arrive, I contacted customer care AGAIN and AGAIN, until I was informed during September 17th call that I was approved for a replacement and that an email verification would be sent. Two weeks and 5 phone calls later, I FINALLY received an email on September 29th saying my replacement was approved and I would receive delivery instructions within 3 business days. In the interim, my claim for food loss was denied and I was contacted by Sears loss prevention regarding the parts which were never shipped, asking me to RETURN them! Today, after SIX business days from that email, I called back. First I was told my replacement would be delivered on the 13th of October and placed on hold for 45 minutes. After waiting on the line, the next representative informed me my freezer wouldn't arrive until NOVEMBER! I asked for the representative's supervisor and was placed on hold again. After another 45 minutes, the call was disconnected. This has cost me thousands of dollars in lost food when the compressor went out, several hours of lost work while on the phone with unhelpful representatives, and hundreds of dollars in NEW food cost because I don't have storage for bulk purchases. Please advise me how to proceed with an official complaint.Business Response

I purchased both my microwaves from SEARS at the time of the purchase I bought the extended warranty. My microwave has stopped working several times and each time the warranty has assisted me. Currently both my microwaves have stopped working. I called in the warranty. A repairman came and ordered the parts three months ago. The parts were delivered and no one has come back. I called and told them that the parts were here. They said to take down the range. The range has been down for three months and no one has come to fix it. I have a day center and its a severe inconvenience to be without a microwave. How many more times do I have to call before someone can show up? How many more visits before they realize these two microwaves need to be replaced? Finally what is purpose of the warranty if no one is willing to assist.Business Response

Sears warranty complaint for ******* washer (warranty contract #*************** - we paid $373.29 for the extended warranty covering until 11-23-2021). Starting mid-2020, we called Sears for a warranty repair on our laundry washing machine. After multiple different technicians tried to repair it (in Oct 2020 and Jan 2021), the third guy determined it was not fixable and needed to be replaced (around mid-2021 - service order #***************). He put in the order/authorization so the warranty department can process the claim for replacement. We have spent the last year and a half waiting for the replacement. We have repeatedly called to check up on the status. Supposedly it has been escalated 3 times, and sent to a senior manager. Case #*******. Initially they said COVID inventory issues were causing a delay, then they said we would get the approval shortly. Yet every time we waited a few weeks and there was no change. We would call back and get the same thing. One customer service representative told us the procedure was that they would provide a voucher/authorization so we could pickup an equivalent washer from Sears. He also said he would send a courtesy $50.00 since their delay was extending the time we could not use our washer (received check around October 2021 - case #*******). We have now spent the last year paying laundromats to wash clothes, costing much more than it would to use our own washer. When we call, they often tell us again it will be processed shortly, but a few times they even pretended that our claim number doesn't exist, or that the request to replace was never received even though multiple Sears warranty customer service representatives before them have confirmed it is processing already.Our current washer model is ******* 4.5-Cu. Ft. Front-Load Washer With Vrt Plus - WF448AAP/XAA-04, Stainless Platinum. Equivalent models from ******* with 4.5 CU Ft capacity in Stainless Platinum color cost roughly $1000-1200 + tax.Business Response

Oct 7, 2022, charge of $64.86 for an appliance warranty not agreed upon to my HVCU credit card. The online messaging for this warranty was cut off with no further contact and not agreed upon by me for warranty. I did not trust the warranty's method of acquiring the contract, asking me to copy and paste something and then forward a code no. I have never see such requests for any purchase and trust nothing in this world today. I did not agree to the purchase, but my credit card no. was requested early on, so they had the information before any agreed upon purchase and they charged my card, and it is impossible to get through to them because of menus and digital robots, no operators for help.Business Response

We are also experiencing a shortage of staff and service techs due to furloughs, the illness or the need for isolation per state mandates and/or furloughs which is seriously affecting all aspects of business. Everyone is feeling the effects of this pandemic.Please be assured that we are doing the best we can with the available resources.

We purchased a Kenmore refrigerator from a local Sears store and within less than a year it began building up heavy frost in the freezer covering all the shelves and food products. At the same time the refrigerator itself was warm and food was spoiling. Our first call to the Sears store was redirected to their online warranty company. After waiting some time a repairman from another state came and declared it was a problem with the door seal. He replaced that part and shortly afterward, the same problem is still occurring. Meanwhile the store itself closed like many around the country. More food had to be thrown out and multiple calls to Sears warranty services have resulted in no help at all - eventually they claim they have no repairman available. Our attempts to contact local repair services have not helped either - they all state they cannot get parts from Sears and so cannot fix the problem even if we were to pay for it ourselves. We have a new fridge that stopped working less than a year into purchase and no one at Sears is standing by their product. Calls result in speaking with folks in ***** who transfer me at least 3-4 times- each new person than has to be told the entire story all over again until finally one of them hangs up on me. They sometimes promise to email us with a a service date and time but weve never received an email and this has been going on for two months now. Since closing the local store - Sears has essentially left us with no options and no working refrigerator !Business Response

Re: *********************************
Dear BBB Customer Relations,
We have completed the investigations of Ms. ********** complaint regarding the freezer and that it was not repaired in a timely manner.
First, we would like to apologize for any inconveniences or frustration Ms. ********** may have experienced in this matter. The satisfaction of our members and customers is our top priority. We value ********************** as a loyal customer and we regret the delay in resolving this issue. Our record shows the freezer door gasket is not sealing properly and it was determined that it can no longer be repaired. On October 8th it has been authorized for a replacement under the manufacturers warranty for $599.99. She was provided with the authorized amount and with the replacement information. Since,it was our understanding the replacement freezer resolved her complaint we ask to have this matter close. Should she has any additional questions or concerns he can contact me directly via email.
Again, we apologize for any problems or frustrations that ********************** may have experienced with Sears. We do value our customers and strive for their complete satisfaction including a reasonable resolution of any complaints or problems whenever possible. If you have any further questions, you may contact me directly via email.
Sincerely,
