  American Water Resources has been charging me 2-3 times per year for 1 annual fee since 2022. I did not realize I was being overcharged until recently because I used auto pay. I just recently noticed the charges on my credit card statements. I enrolled in June of 2021, so my renewal was supposed to be in June every year. I have credit card statements to prove that they have been overcharging me, but they deny that they took the money after I spoke with many representatives by chat and phone, and I would like a refund. I asked them to remove me from auto pay and they still charged me again after that. I had to cancel my credit card and get a new one to prevent them from charging me again. One representative told me that there were 2 accounts in my name that I was paying for. The 2nd account she said was in the name of the previous homeowner, but I was being charged for the company's mistake. The list of charges are listed below:6/23/2022: $118.68 (valid charge)12/29/2022: $118.68 (Requesting Refund)3/10/2023: $197.88 (Requesting Refund)7/7/2023 $118.68 (Valid Charge)12/29/2023: $179.88 (Requesting Refund)3/4/2024: $275.88 (Requesting Refund)6/23/2024 $179.88 (Valid Charge)12/28/2024: $179.88 (Disputed with my credit card company, resolved in my favor)3/5/2025: $335.88 ****************** refunded annual fee by American Water Resources)I am requesting a total refund of $775.32. This does not include the amount that was already refunded to me by American Water Resources and my credit card company. I will submit my credit card statements dating back to 2022 and my contract as proof of my enrollment date to American Water Resources if needed. The file size is too large for me to add it to my complaint on BBB's website.

  I am ******* M. ******, I am filing a complaint against American Water Resources. My mother and I called to cancel her pipe protection plan on 6/5/25. She had received a bill from them and paid them ***** for a yearly service plan. She then received another bill from Home Serve for a pipe protection plan. I asked her about the problem and she said she already paid them and we called them and they have the same phone number and address as American Water Resources. They explained that they were a different company than Home Serve but couldn't explain how they both had the same phone number and address. We eventually were able to cancel her contract with American Water Resources and they said they'd send her a full refund. She got a card in the mail from them explaining that the contract was cancelled but not given the refund. We called American Water Resources back today and they said that on the day the contract was cancelled that someone signed back up for it on the same day. I explained to them that my mother couldn't have done it as she has no computer and I didn't do it either. The person said that they would go ahead and cancel it again but asked if he could get her a lower cost and I explained no she was keeping Home Serve. I don't believe they will refund her her ***** and we will be going through this again. I believe that when she and I cancelled the contract on 6/5/25 that they signed her right back up online, they already had all of her information anyway. My mother just wants her money back.

  On June 27, 2025, my father, **** ****** called to report an issues with our water heater not working. The call was made at approximately 4:15 PM. He was informed by the representative that someone would contact him within 2 to 4 hours to schedule a time to come out and service the issue. He did not receive a call and after four hours of waiting reached back out to American water who said a servicer tried contacting several times but there was no answer. My father had his phone readily available and not a single call came through. Around approximately 9 PM we had then noticed that our sewer was backed up as well and this became an emergency. I am a co-owner of the home and made a call to American water myself. We pay for the extra protection plans that cover these issues specifically the sewer protection plan and water heater repair and replacement plan. The representative had assured me someone would be at the house by 7 AM June 28th 2025, to fix the issue. Today, June 28th, 2025 no one called or arrived and when my father called American water, they had claimed there was no such scheduled service. I had then reached out to American water to follow up and was told we will have to continue to wait as the dispatch team is going to locate a servicer but would call us back once one was found. It has been since 10AM that I made this call this morning and we have yet to hear anything back and are experiencing an emergency situation. My father is elderly requires these things to be functional along with myself, husband, and minor child. Each time I call American water I feel like Im getting a different story and the runaround and at this point have no confirmation the issue will be resolved.

  American Water Resources has yet to pay a claim since I have had their service. I have an outstanding bill of 700 dollars from a furnace repair from November of 2024 and they refused to pay for my air conditioner bill in May of 2025. They kept saying they couldn't get anyone to service my house and said they would send me a check of 700 and I can keep the difference. Its been over a month, no check. I paid a 50 dollar service fee for nothing. I want every ***** reimbursed for this faulty warranty service. How do they keep getting away with this?

  Good morning,I simply would like them to STOP sending me solicitations. Some are marked Second Notice. And they are chronic. I have called the Pennsylvania American Water Company several times to ask them to contact this American Water Resources to stop sending me all information about their services. I have friends and neighbors who have used them and when they have an issue, this company does not help them. I do not want to have anything to do with them. Please stop the mailings.

  So we purchased the American Water Resource protection on 4/8/2025 and the plan start at 5/7/2025. And our main water line broke and we filed a claim on 6/23/2025 for a repair. The plumber came to our house and file a proposal for *** to approve it. It had been 3 days already and every time I call they told me they send expedite request to back office but no update for 3 days.Couple representative told me the issue will be fix in ***** hours, and then I called again today 6/26/2025, a lady answer the phone and start telling me that it can take 1-3 weeks, then 2-4 weeks to get the approval. So I politely ask if I can fix the problem first and submit for reimbursement, since there is no way for me to live in house without water for 2-4 weeks. She put me on hold and later come back say no they can't reimburse after proposal send to back office. so she recommend me to move to hotel during that time, so I ask if they will reimburse the hotel fees, she put me on hold and after a while she come back say yes they will cover the hotel, but only if the proposal not denied, I was like sure and ask her what's the hotel reimburse limit and up to how many days? then she put me on hold for over half hour now and not answer my questions.

  American Water Resources (AWR) appreciates the opportunity to respond to your June 27th, 2025, correspondence regarding the complaint filed by ******************************** receipt of the referenced matter, AWR contacted ******** on June 30th regarding his water line claim. During the initial assessment, the attending technicians reported that the residence appeared to be vacant, which would render the repair ineligible for coverage under the terms and conditions of the service agreement.

  Mr. *****, however, clarified that the home was not vacant,although the water service remained shut off. After reviewing the circumstances with our claims department, it was determined that the repair would be covered.

  Accordingly, we dispatched the service provider to the property on July 1st. The repair was successfully completed, and water service was restored to the residence.

  I sent an email on 5/26 to cancel all of my accounts, the company responded but was unable to help without calling in. When I called in to cancel on 6/1 they said they cant cancel my accounts until the multiple accounts department reviews the request. They said there is no one in this department I can actually speak to its just an email they send. Fast forward *********************************************************** she said they are still waiting for someone to review the file. I can't cancel them on their website. It is ridiculous the effort it takes to cancel the services that I no longer need.

  I paid American Water Resources, P.O. ************************ 60197-9813 on 5/27/25 for Sewer Line Insurance $108 through my online billing. They cashed the check but never gave me the coverage I paid for. I called the company and they gave me a run around but would not give me a refund or an explanation as to why I had no coverage. I asked to speak to a manager and they put me on hold forever. I feel they are ripping off customers. I want my money back. I do not think this is right. They made no attempt to assist me, even though I already have water line coverage with them. I paid for that also and they act like I have no account.

  Complaint #7781546947BDB You can close this complaint. I contacted my bank and even though it looks like the business cashed my check, the bank investigated further and they discovered the check had not been cashed and they are going to refund me the money. So it is not the business fault. The bank feels the check may have been lost in the mail. Thank you.

  I have been trying to cancel with this company for months and every time I call I am told they will cancel it but they don't. I have asked them to stop harassing me. Today, 6-24-25, I got another letter telling me that they will automatically ne-new it and will be charged $108.00. I called and they said that the account is still active. Again, I requested that it be cancelled. The person tried to convince me about not cancelling. I finally had to hang up and I have not found a resolution for this.
