We are sorry that the outcome of ****************** claim was not what he expected and for any aggravation the experience has caused him. We genuinely want to provide a pleasant service experience and, whenever possible, a satisfactory outcome to valid claims for purchasers of our plans. We process many thousands of covered claims per month, and it is always disheartening when we must deny a claim that falls outside the perimeters of coverage as stated in the Plan Agreement.
When **************** reported his claim, he advised the agent the stains on the table were of an unknown origin. Once a claim has been submitted, it cannot be altered as what is originally reported becomes the official record. We cannot change the information after the fact to fit coverage.
****************** protection plan specifically covers accidental stains from food, beverages, and human and pet bodily fluids, during a one-time incident. Because the origin of the stains was unknown when reported, that portion of the claim was denied. However, as a courtesy, we have authorized a service technician to inspect the tabletop and provide an unbiased opinion regarding the nature and possible origin of any damage or stains on the table. **************** can expect a call from the service company within the next 3-5 business days to schedule a service visit.
It is clear in the photographs that the damage to ****************** outdoor dining chair is not consistent with a one-time accidental puncture or rip, but rather wear-related fraying from use that has grown over time. Wear-related damage such as fraying is not covered by the plan, and *************** may refer to his Plan Document regarding the applicable exclusion under Section Three (3) What is Not Covered, Letter V, which states:
V)WEAR-RELATED REPAIRS OR DAMAGE, SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FADING, RUST OR CORROSION, NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, SEAM SEPARATION, STRESS TEARS, LOSS OF FOAM RESILIENCY, PILLING OR FRAYING;
To be fair to all purchasers of our protection plans,we must abide by the written terms of the plan agreement. Therefore, based on the nature of the damage to ****************** dining chair as well as the above-referenced exclusion, the denial is valid and will stand. If he has questions, he may text the service center at ************, submit a note in his claim through our online portal at www.furnitureclaim.com, email ************************************ or ********************************************. Thank you.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:The chair in effect has a RIP, nothing else, i explained to them how this happened
once the rips are there, the damage becomes worse because the fabric threads are loose
they in effect sent somebody to check the table, they will check it this Friday, but about the chair, they are just doing nothing
I notice that I'm not the only one in this situation, the rate of this business can't be worse, I only want to solve this matter the right way

We are sorry **************** is unhappy with the decision regarding his outdoor dining chair. As stated previously, it is clear in the photographs that the damage to ***************** outdoor dining chair is not consistent with a one-time accidental puncture or rip, but rather wear-related fraying from use that has grown over time. As such, we continue to stand by our decision and this portion of ****************** claim will remain denied. If he has questions, he may text the service center at ************, submit a note in his claim through our online portal at www.furnitureclaim.com, email ************************************* or ********************************************.

Complaint: 21851402
I am rejecting this response because: as I said before, with the rip, the threads are loose and the problem becomes worst with the timeWe took a week after the party to place the claim, and almost a month to take the picture and send it to them (all under their accepted time window) its obvious that if the problem is getting bigger with the time, the picture, taken 3 or 4 weeks after the rip, will be worse than the day of the party
besides, I want to inform that I did receive the visit for the inspection of the table, the inspector told me that the damage is obvious and they should change the top of the table because the stains in there, product of the hop dishes cant be removed, now, just today, Im receiving an email saying that they wont accept the claim, they insist that is still out of the coverage, which isnt true, i have it
Im suspecting that they are giving me a harder time due to my claim in BBB, when Im just trying to get support for my rights as a customer
Sincerely,
*************************Business Response
Date: 06/28/2024
We are sorry the final outcome of ****************** claim was not what he had hoped. The technician who inspected the outdoor table has confirmed there are various types of stains and damage throughout the entire tabletop consistent with an accumulation over time. While damage from a single incident may be covered, damage that has accumulated would be deemed ineligible, and **************** may refer to the Plan Document regarding the applicable exclusion under Section Three (3) What is Not Covered, Letter N, which states:
N) ANY STAIN, SOILING OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM EVERYDAY USE OR THAT HAS BUILT UP OVER TIME
Unfortunately,because there are various types of damage to many areas of the outdoor dining table, this portion of the claim would be ineligible for service. If **************** has further questions, he may text the service center at ************, submit a note through our online portal at www.furnitureclaim.com, or email ************************************* Thank you.Initial Complaint

We process many thousands of covered claims per month, and it is always disheartening when we must deny a claim that falls outside the perimeters of coverage as stated in the Plan Agreement.
The Protection Plan covers accidental stains caused by **********************, his family, or friends, during a single incident.

The plan does not cover accumulated stains, and ********************** may refer to his plan agreement regarding the applicable exclusion under Section Three (3) What is Not Covered, Letter E, which states:
E) ACCUMULATED STAINS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM LACK OF REGULAR CARE AND MAINTENANCE, WILLFUL ABUSE, MISUSE, MISHANDLING, UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS OR ALTERATIONS TO A COVERED PRODUCT OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS;
To be fair to all purchasers of our protection plans, we must abide by the written terms of the plan agreement. Therefore,based on the number of stains present throughout both pieces, as well as the above referenced exclusion, the denial is valid and will stand.

I am rejecting this response because: this incident was due to a kids birthday party thats was held on a Sunday multiple children ages 4-8 was celebrating my daughters birthday and I was un aware of the juices and milk to include nail polish that was used I have a an 17month old who also spilled milk on the same place juice and water was spilled they are diffrent stains that occurred on the same day. No one reached out to request how the incident happen and what liquids was used your claims are inefficient when it cones to requesting details of the accident also having to speak to someone would be easier than to submit claims solely online I noticed that this is a common issue in your policy and hundreds of other claims sounds more like a scam I was told upon purchasing the item that this specific insurance is great because it covers spills especially having kids FALSE clearly not just states claims need to be places within 30 days and I sure will share on social media that this company is a fraud.

I stated to them that they need to either replace the sofa or I need to speak with the supervisor so they can maybe order the parts from another manufacturer to get my sofa repaired, no one ever responds to montage about parts and I have not received service.

We are devoted to providing exemplary service and each month our company fulfills thousands of claims quickly,effectively, and with an outcome that is favorable to all parties. We are truly sorry that ****************** claim has not gone as quickly as we both would expect, and for any frustration the experience has caused him.
To clarify, we have every intention of repairing ****************** sofa when his parts arrive. An order was sent directly to ****************** manufacturer for the left and right-side facing seat casings and cores, to be shipped to the Star Furniture warehouse. Upon receipt of the ordered parts, the Star Furniture Warehouse will notify the service center, and an authorization will then be sent to the service company in ****************** area to retrieve the parts and complete the repair.
Although some mechanical parts are universal and can be ordered from an outside source, the seat casings and cores can only be provided by the original manufacturer of the product. Parts from the manufacturer of ****************** sofa are sent from overseas,and in some cases shipping times can be longer than preferred.
Today,June 3rd, 2024, an urgent request was sent to the manufacturer to provide the status of the part order. We have requested they respond as soon as possible with further details. **************** will be notified when we receive an ETA from the manufacturer.

The manager from this furniture company contacted me on yesterday. Ive been dealing with them waiting for this part to come for the last three months and when they email this manufacturer that they use this company that they use never respond back to them Better Business Bureau. This is an issue the company that you are using to order your parts through and you emailed them, never respond back to your email. Something is wrong there. Why cant they at least replace the sofa call Star Furniture and Star Furniture that uses their service told me that that warranty department have that option if they wanted to, but they have me waiting and waiting and waiting and this manufacturer is never responding .Initial Complaint

I bought some furniture from Rove Concepts with an extended warranty. When my couch tore in December 2023, I filed a claim with them. Later, I learned they handle warranties through a company called Mulberry. I provided all the necessary information and pictures but never heard back. After reaching out earlier this month, they now say the claim partner is Montage, which is news to me. Checking Mulberry's site shows no record of my claim. The only way I get any response is by emailing Rove Concepts. Recently, ******** emailed me asking what Rove Concepts has told me. What a joke.Business Response

Bought office desk with filing cabinet and chair along with installion and delivery from **** Furniture. The installers did not install correctly as the filing cabinet drawers do not open properly. The top one does not open to its full capacity and the bottom drawer stops halfway, as if it is stuck on something. I was not home (my husband was) during installation so I didnt realize until I got home from work. I called the retailer and eventually was directed to Montage. Ive been in contact with them since July 2023 and to this day, I still have yet to receive new drawer slides. Ive been calling them almost once a week for nearly the past year. They keep saying they need an update from the manufacturer if the slides are available or not and without some type of communication, they cannot move further. However, its been several months and no update whether the problem will be resolved or not. So how long are we supposed to year? When I asked if they dont respond for 2 years, we still keep waiting? The montage representative said unfortunately, yes. However, the prior representative I spoke with said they give the manufacturer 6-8 weeks to respond before it can be escalated to reviews department. They just keep giving me the run around and will not refund, replace, or repair the issue. They wont even let me speak with a supervisor when asked. I spent a lot of money on this furniture and they will not help remediate the problem at all. I just want to be able to use my filing cabinet as expected. One of the technicians that came out to fix it said he refuses to come out anymore because montage needs to send new gliders as there is no other way to fix it. I ended up buying the gliders myself with the product number provided. That should never be a fix- for the customer to repair the problem themself when they have an active warranty that they paid for. A whistleblower informed me montage is the worst company and will find any excuse to not pay/fix.Business Response

We are devoted to providing exemplary service and each month our company fulfills thousands of claims quickly,effectively, and with an outcome that is favorable to all parties. We are truly sorry that Ms. *********** claim has not gone as smoothly as we both would expect, and for any frustration the experience has caused her.
Ms. *********** protection plan covers specifically listed issues as stated in the coverage section of the Plan Document, and as with any plan agreement of this nature, there are conditions and limitations to coverage that must be considered when determining the appropriate resolution for a claim.
The Plan Agreement requires all part and complete product replacements be processed through the customers original selling retailer, as stated under Section Two (2) Repair ***** Letter A Coverage:
Through the Administrator, We will repair or replace the Covered Product, at Our discretion. If possible, We will order, from the Selling Retailer, replacement part(s) or complete product(s), as necessary, to fulfill the coverage provided under this Agreement. Such part(s) or complete product(s) will be new and of the same make and model as Your Covered Product unless the Selling Retailer is unable to supply such products. In this case,You will select and, if approved by Us, We will order, from the Selling Retailer, new replacement part(s) or complete product(s) with features similar to those of Your Covered Product, up to, but not to exceed, the Purchase Price.In the event the Selling Retailer where You purchased Your Covered Product is unwilling or unable for any reason, to supply (i) part(s) or complete product(s) of the same make and model as Your Covered Product, or (ii)replacement part(s) or complete product(s) with features similar to those of Your Covered Product that are satisfactory to You (not to exceed the Purchase Price), We will refund the original Agreement Price, less Our cost of all previous claims paid under this Agreement, in complete fulfillment of Our obligation to You hereunder...
Although listed as covered, Ms. *********** protection plan restricts coverage costs for drawer glides on all applicable pieces to a maximum of $200 per agreement and prohibits replacement of covered items for damaged drawer glides, even if the same or similar glides cannot be located through her original selling retailer. *********************** may again refer to her Plan Agreement regarding this limitation under Section Two (2) Repair ***** ************** of Liability, which states:
C) Limit of Liability: . The total limit of liability for breakage of buttons and zippers and hinges, handles, drawer glides and pulls,and nail head trim is limited to repair, replacement or cash settlement in an amount not to exceed the cost of like or similar quality components (Covered Product(s) will not be replaced due to lack of availability of original components). In addition, the total liability for breakage of hinges, handles,drawer glides and pulls, and nail head trim is limited to $200.00 per Agreement
We have made many attempts to locate and procure the correct drawer glides through Ms. *********** original selling retailer with no success, and multiple technicians were sent to attempt repair with newly provided parts that were ultimately discovered to be incorrect, incurring service costs well beyond the maximum. However, as a courtesy, we are willing to consider alternative settlement options in lieu of repair. Our Consumer Advocate will reach out to her directly with further details. If *********************** has questions, she may text the service center at ************,submit a note in her claim through our online portal at www.furnitureclaim.com, email **************************************** or ********************************************.

I purchased a warranty for my furniture, which the furniture store issued through Montage. I have a claim that has been outstanding for many months. I have a reclining couch and the headrest no longer inclines. A mechanic came out and assessed the issue, ordered a part to fix it and... nothing. It's been months. I paid for a service that is not being rendered. This is very frustrating, but when I expressed my concern to Montage they gave me the run-around and are doing nothing about it. Resolution: get the part, fix the couch. It is not hard. It does not take this long. I work in the business of getting parts and fixing things, I know how this works. Make it happen.Business Response

We bought a sectional two years ago and the frame broke and they are claiming its normal wear and tear. The warranty is a scam. Ive been fighting with them for 3-4 months and they are still denying even after *** sent them multiple pictures and paper work as a stalling point. They even denied it before a tech even came out. I fought for a tech to come and he said yeah it needs to be repaired and would order the parts. Come to find out they denied the tech too without even contacting me. I had to call for a status update and was notified oh sorry our techs cant authorize anything. Really then why have them at all. Stop selling the scam warranty that doesnt do anything.

On April 24th, my cat unknowingly gave birth on our couch. I contacted the furniture store for information on how to remove the bodily fluids left on the couch. They provided me with information for Montage and instructed me to file a claim. I submitted the claim on April 29th, including numerous photos of the soiled areas and any requested documentation. Today, on May 10th, I received a cleaning solution for the affected area. I followed the instructions on how to properly use it, but unfortunately, the solution had no effect - the stain remains. I paid $500 through the furniture store to cover damages caused by pets, yet all I received was a solution that I could have purchased on Amazon for $15, saving $485. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of care demonstrated by this company.Business Response
