I started treatment with Terminix for rodent exclusion and termite control. When I initially met with my Terminix representative I had a quote for a $1,455.20 exclusion service which I authorized and received. I was also quoted a $4,536 attic insulation replacement which I declined and was told was removed and this service was never rendered. After receiving an account statement from SMAC for a total of $5,991.20 (the sum of the exclusion service that I did receive, and the attic insulation service that was deferred and never rendered) I have called both SMAC and Terminix now a total of 5 times each. The attic insulation service was rejected 2 days later.SMAC points fingers at Terminix, Terminix claims "We've submitted a request to the local branch and you'll receive word within 48 hours". It's now been well over 360 hours, numerous callbacks, and still no word from the "local branch" I'm submitting this report on SMAC because it's no surprise that SMAC is a subsidary of Terminix. They work in tandem, Terminix has full control over ************************* first payment was due on 8/2/25 for the service I was rendered, and the service I was not rendered. Terminix and SMAC were notified to this 14 days prior to this first payment being due. I've received no updates, and no assistance from either side. I refuse to pay any principal towards a service that was not provided, and both Terminix and SMAC need to rectify this ******** me it seems like a scam operation where they both claim negligence due to the other company, even though they both operate under the same umbrella. I don't have new attic insulation, so I'm not going to pay for an imaginary quote that was sent to me for what they thought the work would cost. If this continues any further beyond 8/6/2025 as I approach the 15 day ***** period where I will start being charged late fees I will consider hiring a lawyer and reaching out to the attorney general for being charged for services that were not provided.Business Response

I have been a customer of Terminix and paying the bills I receive from them for some time. I have now received a finance charge bill of $2,500 for no reason. It says my last bill for this financing was paid on 05/03/2025 and now I owe $2,126.56. I have no idea what this finance charge is for. Im going to cancel my coverage with ******** and find a new provider now as I see this has been an issue for many people now. I am disputing this charge and any payments maid prior to this one in the amount of $117.68 that they are asking for. The account number theyve stated is ********Business Response

We were able to pull up the customer's account and find out she had treatment done on 1/3/25 for attic insulation, we can provide a copy of the contract if needed, if work was completed the loan stands and the customer is responsible for the financing. Customer was informed of this information when she called SMAC this morning.Initial Complaint

Complaint Against: SMAC Financing and Terminix Category: Installment Loan / Unauthorized Billing Amount in Dispute: $9,000+Date Issue Began: October 2024 In October 2024, I purchased a home and contacted Terminix to treat a termite issue. Terminix was over two hours late to the appointment. When they arrived, the technician provided a high-pressure sales pitch and quoted me for a wide range of expensive services, some of which seemed excessive.Despite my reservations, I moved forward with the service initially and made a substantial upfront payment directly to Terminix. However, within the legal cancellation/recession period, I decided to cancel the entire service after realizing I no longer wanted to keep the home. I informed Terminix of my decision, and they eventually confirmed the cancellation. I accepted the loss of my upfront payment and placed the home back on the market. The home was sold approximately one month later,Surprisingly, I began receiving notices from SMAC Financing, claiming I owed over $9,000. I was never clearly informed that a third-party financing company would be involved, and I certainly did not knowingly consent to a $9,000 loan or installment plan with SMAC. I believed all payments had been handled directly through Terminix.This appears to be a pattern of concern. After researching, I found numerous similar complaints online involving questionable financing arrangements between SMAC and Terminix. Many consumers seem to be enrolled in financing agreements without full disclosure or proper consent.I am now being pursued for a debt I do not owe for services I never received, canceled during the valid period, and for a property I no longer even own.I am formally disputing this debt and requesting the **** investigate this matter and the ongoing relationship between SMAC and Terminix.Business Response

After reveiw of the financed loan, the attic work was cancelled and an allowance was sent for *******. the customer had work completed for the ********* services. leaving a balance owed on the account in the amount of ********. The customer can cancel the service, but if the initial work was completed, the customer owes the financing, which in this case is the ********* service. We can provide a copy of the signed contract if needed.Customer Answer

Complaint: 23303276I am writing in response to your recent claim regarding an outstanding balance of $2,260.94 for alleged ********* services performed in conjunction with my account related to Terminix.
To reiterate, I canceled the entirety of the contracted services with Terminix within the legal rescission period and prior to completing work being performed.
Upon reviewing my records and statements from Terminix, the following payments were made:
- $2,574.01 marked as Financing Paid on 10/18/2024.
- Additional payments made via credit card totaling $2,799.75, including:
- $319.93 on 10/18/2024
- $1,836.32 on 10/18/2024
- $643.50 on 10/18/2024
The total paid to Terminix is $5,373.76.
It is not clear what services these amounts covered. It looks to me that Terminix owes SMAC. Therefore, I am formally disputing the balance you claim I owe.
I consider this debt invalid and request that all collection efforts cease immediately.
Sincerely,
****** *********Business Response

The down payment does not go towards the financing, It would be the same as when you purchase a ****** stays with the dealership. the balance provided includes any payments the customer has made. Please note the as previously stated, I can provide a copy of the contract, if the customer has proof that the exclusion work was included in the cancellation it needs to provided and we can research further with Terminix.Initial Complaint

In April 2024, I hired Terminix to replace the insulation in my attic due to a rodent problem. The project was financed at $38,000. Due to some financial difficulties, I missed a few payments, and the account went to collections for $12,000. Eventually, Terminix reinstated the plan but at a new amount of $29,000. Throughout this process, there was no clear way to track payments, charges, or the remaining balance. The only communication I have is through text messages with a local representative, and theres no transparent billing method showing what has been paid or what is owed. This lack of transparency has caused significant confusion and financial strain. I believe I am being treated more like a sales target than a valued customer, and I need a clear and accurate accounting of my payments and the remaining balance, as well as a fair resolution to this issue.Business Response

Terminix tech ***** ********* came 6/17/2024 to inspect our attic as part of our yearly termite renewal. He sold us new attic insulation but could not show us any paperwork as their system was down. When we got the paperwork, we could decide to pay in full or use their financing. We had 45 days to pay. ***** gave us a screenshot of the quote and asked me to sign his I-pad in agreement to the amount so he could get it scheduled. Attic insulation installed 6/22 & 23/2024. First communication received, a letter from SMAC dated 6/28/2024 stating financing had been opened. I paid SMAC on 7/15/2024 with my Mastercard $11,385.00 to avoid any financing or service charges as stated in their letter. Received paid in full letter.8/4/2024 I put through a dispute with my credit card company after SMAC told me they had no sales contract on file. 10/11/2024, I closed the dispute per a consultation with an attorney to not affect my credit and pursue it with my complaint against Terminix through the AZ attorney general.The re-bill of $11,385.00 was put back on my card 11/5/2024 and per my credit card company, Master card paid by money transfer 11/13/2024 broken into 3 payments- $5000., $5000., and $1385.11/10/2024 I received a call from SMAC collections - asking for me or ****** *******. Per SMAC, financing was opened with my name and address , and a ****** *******, with his phone # and email, *************************************************** as contact information.This is the same email as ***** *******, Scottsdale Terminix sales manager. He changed the phone # to mine when collections called him. SMAC allowed him to open this financing with NO authorization from me. He is responsible for payment.SMAC says they have not receive the payment ********** put back thru 11/13 and has been their repeated response in my Terminix complaint through AZ attorney general & numerous phone calls.

They have stolen the services from us, which were completed in full. She has never made any payments and had the nerve to file a complaint against us with the Attorney General claiming harassment for collection efforts, stating they paid the amount due in full. To date ***** /***** ******* has refused any and all requests to provide us with proof of payment, instead electing to have her phone number removed and add the branch managers to her account. How this continues to be allowed is way beyond my comprehension.
The long and short of it, they owe the entire amount, The customer was sent out to collections due to no payment made on the account for work completed. this information was provided by the Terminix branch that completed the work.Customer Answer

Attn: ******* ***********
This is not a valid response to my complaint against SMAC. SMAC and Terminix are two separate entities per ******* ****, who identified herself as a manager in SMAC collections.
I need a direct response from SMAC as they allowed the Terminix sales manager to open financing in my name without any authorization from me. All information about how the financing was open was given me by SMAC. I have sent SMAC documentation on proof of payment 3 times - through my complaint with the AZ Attorney General when it was asked for, to SMAC manager ******* ****, and to supervisor ********** ******, who I have spoken to many times and when over the documents with her,
The response by Terminix's branch are all false accusations and I am not going to engage in that type of discussion.

Complaint: 23051754
I am rejecting this response because:SMAC has not addressed my complaint. SMAC did not ascertain they had my authorization to open financing as we were never provided any paperwork for financing. Instead, SMAC allowed the Terminix sales manager to open this financing with my personal information, and list himself as a responsible party with his contact information.
To access my credit with no authorization from me is fraud.
Now, to cover up this employees dishonesty and their failure to obtain my authorization, SMAC refuses to acknowledge receipt of my payment of $11,385.00 when ********** put the payment back through - rebill listed on my statement 11/5, ********** paid their bank 11/13/2024.
I have provided SMAC proof of payment 3 times prior to this complaint showing ********** put this transaction back through in November : 1. through my complaint with the AZ Attorney General; 2. to ******* ****, who identified herself as manager in SMAC collections; 3. to SMAC supervisor ********** ******.In 50 years of my using credit cards, this is the first time a company is trying to claim they were not paid.

SMAC is claiming I owe them over 445 dollars left on a service I'm not currently getting from ********. I'm not an active terminix customer and the services I was promised were not satisfactory nor completed correctly or ongoing. I need SMAC to stop charging me nearly 90 dollars per month as I'm not getting any service--I'm not paying for anything but I'm being charged.

Every time I called I was bounce between Terminex and SMAC fro month to month. This company have caused me so much stress I went into to a seizure three weeks ago.
I need them to take responsibility for their actions and mistake. Thank you
With Gratitude,
