Thank you for the additional detail. That helped us locate the order. The confirmation number for the order is 36KWCBHZD.
The $9.95 fee is a non-refundable credit card processing fee. The Rush Fee was applied so that the documents would be ready prior to the 10/22/2024 closing date. According to our records, the order was placed on 10/16/2024 and documents ready on 10/17/2024. The typical SLA for processing documents is 10 business days, which would have had the documents ready on 10/30/2024, which would be too late for closing.
I hope that helps clarify the fees.

On May 13, 2024, I had to register with Homewisedocs to upload a document for homewise to submit the questionnaire to the ************************* It has been over 8 days for the questionnaire to be delivered to the management company - come to find out that it was never sent as promised. Since the document was due in 1 day, I called homewisedocs to find a resolution and ****** (their customer service representative) was rude and inappropriate when talking to me on the phone.This is totally uncalled for when I am inquiring on the status of my order.Therefore, I would like to be reimbursed the $166.95 on my credit card.Business Response

We sincerely apologize for the service you received from our representative, and that our service level agreement regarding the Custom Lender Questionnaire was not clear as it has a longer turnaround time. We strive to provide courteous service, and its clear we fell short in your case. The estimated completion date is 05/23/2024 and is on track.
Regarding the reimbursement, we would like to resolve this matter to your satisfaction. Were actively working on canceling your order as requested. Based on our records, the order was for $161.95. The matter has been escalated and refunds will be issued for the questionnaire fees, as well as the ******************** fee, for a total of $152.00. The $9.95 card processing fee is non-refundable.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide feedback.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: the $9.95 was not indicated or stated. Also due to the stress, the customer service representative being so discourteous to customers and the multiple conflicted messages that I had received. As part of excellent customer service on your part, you should be able to credit the $9.95 to my account.
Sincerely,

My problem is this company took it upon themselves to fraudulently withdrawl money from my checking account. The story goes like this: a payment for $204 was requested and paid. Suddenly the wrong HOA was paid so this company cancelled it. I figured after speaking with a title company they would refund the money. BUT homewisedocs didnt refund THE FULL AMOUNT they decided only $167 would be ok. Then the title company man called urgently requesting the card number again to charge $204 so I gave it to them BUT SUDDENLY HOMEWISEDOCS took out $404 instead of $204. When I called them they said that this HOA charged much more to send papers to. If homewisedocs takes anymore money I will file a criminal complaint against them.Business Response
