      I purchased these items in November 2019 with a 5 year care protection that was to be refunded if not used. This purchase was made from Midway Home Solutions in ***********, **, but the company was sold to Howards Appliance and I was told the Care protection refund would be honored by Howards. Howards Appliance has since closed locally. I called the nearest Howards store to me in ************ and they will not honor the refund. They said my contract is not in their system and they don't offer this type of protection. I know the time for the refund is not valid until November 2024 but I have not used the warranty. I'd just like the $139.95 Care Protection Plan refunded. I have no place to take my items to even if I did need the care protection. I was promised the refund by Midway, but they are no longer in business.

      We purchased a dishwasher and a Television from Howards in February. Items were delivered as planned a few days later. The person installing the Dishwasher said the pipe from the dishwasher to drain is clogged, He showed us that it was clogged and that he could fix for a $125.00 fee. My husband and I declined his service because we had just ran the dishwasher earlier that day and it worked fine. The man left and my husband took the piping under the sink apart and we found a perfectly folded piece of paper towel rolled up inside the pipe. H*** NO did this get there by accident. We actually looked int the trash and found the other paper towel pieces that he ripped apart. We called very upset by how unlawful this act was. They said they would push it up to management and we have not heard anything from them in weeks. We want our delivery fee back or some sort of financial compensation.
