    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:
    Gov. Action

    January 10, 2023 The following describes a Consent Order that has been formally brought by a government agency. The Department of Financial Protection and Innovation alleges, and charges as follows:

    Under California Code of Regulations, Title 10, Section 1422.4 (Regulation 1422.4), which went into effect on October 1, 2021,all CFL licensees were required to transition to the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System and Registry (NMLS) by December 31, 2021. On December 16, 2021, Complainant extended the deadline to transition to NMLS to March 15, 2022. On March 7, 2022, Complainant again extended the deadline to transition to NMLS to March 31, 2022.

    Complainant provided notice of this requirement to Respondent - via email to the Designated Email Address of each CFL licensee on July 20, 2021, September 16, 2021, October 14, 2021, November 8, 2021, and December 16, 2021. Complainant also provided notice via email to each CFL licensee that had not yet transitioned to NMLS, including Respondent, on March 7, 2022, and again via email and mail on March 28, 2022. Complainant provided further notice of this requirement over the telephone - Complainant made at least two calls to the designated telephone number provided by each CFL licensee, including Respondent - between February 1 and March 15, 2022.

    Complainant determined that Respondent was in violation of Regulation 1422.4 and
    had not transitioned management of its CFL license to NMLS as of July 22, 2022. Accordingly, Complainant issued a Citation on that date pursuant to Financial Code section 22707.5, subdivision (a). The Citation included an order to correct the violation and an order to pay an administrative fine in the amount of $2,500.00 to the Commissioner by September 20, 2022.

    Complainant served the Citation on Respondent via certified mail on July 22, 2022 and by electronic mail at Respondent's Designated Email Address on September 27, 2022. To date, Respondent has neither complied with the order to correct the violation by transitioning its license to NMLS.

      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I purchased a dryer in December of 2021 that had a 5 year warranty. The dryer broke in March of 2024, only 25 months into owning it. I had an authorized dealer come out to do the repair. The heating element was broken and a wire harness was fried. They ordered the part but the part could not be located. I began calling and emailing Speed Queen multiple times per week. About 10 days ago I was told that they would be sending out a new dryer. There has been no progress with that, either. Now, its been over 40 days since my dryer quit working and we still have made no progress. Yesterday, I emailed them and suggested they just send me a check for the prorated amount of the dryer warranty (about $600) and we call it good, but I didnt receive a response. I need a new dryer or to be compensated for the ************* that I didnt get out of the old one.

      We bought a top of the line dryer from *********************** in ********** **. Model number ADEE9RYS177TW0 1. We paid $1400.00 for the dryer in April of 2022. In November of 2023, the heating fuse blew. Dryer would tumble but not dry. Dealer came out and put in a new fuse. Worked ok for 6 months. Now, the same fuse blew again. WE called the dealer and they came out a seconds to replace the fuse. We went to use the dryer the next day and it's still not drying. I called speed queen customer service and after 5 attempts, I finally got through. The customer service rep. was obnoxious, uncooperative and rude. I asked for a manager and she said she would write a ticket. She also stated that my dealer hadn't reported any issues with my dryer as required so therefore we would have to start from scratch. In the 5 attempts to contact c/s at speed queen, the waits were anywhere from 30 minutes to 2hrs. and 45 minutes .I want my $1400.00 back so I can get and get another brand. I will never buy a speed queen product again nor will we recommend them, again. At this point, we have asked the dealer for a complete new dryer with a new warranty or refund in full our $1400.00.
