I am not a customer of **********************. However, I do get mail from them. Mail sent to my address bearing the name of my wife's ex husband, who we have never informed of our address. This is very concerning because we have no idea if HomeSafe used information we never gave them or consented to them having to provide the ex husband with our home address. I would like to know through what means they got our information, how long they have been spying on us for, and whether or not they are giving out our address to people. I won't be happy with any response because this shady company violated our privacy and safety, just to solicit us.Business Response

Received a phone call from homesafe about home warranty. Told the guy no several times but he kept insisting. Said he would be able to get the payments to $37/month. I finally caved and said yes to that. That was March 6th 2025. First month payment they took was $48 but I was unaware since it was my wifes credit card that was billed. Finally got my contract booklet on April 15th. Realized that the booklet said my monthly payments were now $73/month. Checked the credit card and sure enough they took more than agreed upon on the first and second month payment. They then tried saying the first month payment was an intro payment which they guy on the phone made no mention of. I called on the 16th and to cancel and they refused to reimburse me for the amounts that were not agreed upon. This company is a scam, they lie and deceive. Heavily advise not to do business with them.Business Response

My home warranty company Homesafe charges me a fee monthly of $69.00 to provide a warranty on appliances. I have never used this warranty until march2025 for a repair. They sent ***** out to repair my washer they charged me ***** deductible for service rendered. They looked at my machine for approximately 5 minutes and contacted Homesafe for approval. ***** requires you be available 8-5.***** couldnt come out on Monday the parts werent available. However on Tuesday ***** decided to not come out due to unforeseen circumstances I asked Homesafe to get me a different vendor they told me it would cost me another deductible. I feel this is fraud due to the fact that ***** didnt fix my washer. I am unavailable three weeks from now for 8-5 appointment I am disabled and have many Dr. ************ I am however available for a two hour window for an appointment. Homesafe doesnt care. I canceled their services all I want is my monthly fee and deductible back. I will get my washer fixed elsewhere.Business Response

As noted on the first three pages of your Protection Plan, Armis is the administrator of your home service contract and has FULL authority over repair procedures, approvals, denials and payments. We have contacted them to obtain information referenced in your complaint. Upon further review it was found that you were not able to be available for when the service provider would be coming by to make the necessary repairs. There is not anything Armis nor Homesafe can do to change the time of arrival of the service provider as they run on a service route. The customer MUST be home to let the service provider in so the repair can be completed. If you are unable or unwilling to be available for the repair to be completed there is nothing we nor the Administrator can do to get this resolved. Nothing further will be authorized. If you do find the availability for the repair to be completed as it was authorized to be done please contact claims at ************.

I am rejecting this response because: I was home the three times ***** was supposed to come, however ***** cancelled twice and on the 3rd time I was trying to reach the claims department to no avail so ***** left. I am disabled and cant sit/stand up for 9 hours waiting for them to hopefully show up. When ***** came yesterday they wanted additional money per armis $35.00 I told them no my contract states ***** I am at a loss. The only way this is fixed is send ***** back out on Friday the 11th without additional money due and make sure they are able to fix washer immediately

Home Safe with the contractor Armis changing the rules on a spot according to the companys needs with the goal not to pay. The provider/contractor ************ on March 11, 2025 that I hired from the Thumbtack that was recommended by the Armis Home when filing the claim online charged $89 and issued the repair bill of $600 and did nothing, spending about 10 min at my place. After I decided to get the new stove since the prognosis of the safety were not that good, the adjuster told me that I must pay the first provider additional $60 to get to $150 deductibles regardless. Then I hire another provider to get a second opinion. The adjuster (******) stated that I can hire any provider. I found the largest provider in the area the **************** Repair. This time I paid $136 for the visit and the estimate was $1,645.10. The technician found thatthe top and the burner must be replaced first to fix the stove. So, I sent all the ***** inspection receipts to the Armis Home. The adjuster called in three days and declared that they do not use ***** appliances repair (Yet, she said that I can hire any contractor). that she has only the bill for the repair, which is not sufficient for the Armis Home. Yet, the provider left the massage technician ID ******* Shut down during self-clean. Thermal limit opened. Top needs to come off to access. The phone of the department was also provided by me Also, she said that the $136 for the visit cannot be considered deductibles.The supervisor called in four days that declared that I must pay $1,645.10, so the additional diagnosis can be done. As I said I am going to buy a new stove due to the unsafe situation where even the screws got melted. All I asked is to pay me like for repair. She said that this is my problem.Business Response

Ive had surgery that requires showers to keep the area clean therefore more towels are needed. First, the technician should diagnose and contact Home Warranty. There assumptions before doing are unwarranted and not needed.just repair it. On02/16/2025, my washer suspension went out and this HomeSafe sends out inexperience new technicians. After the claim is filed, another department calls form the service fee then ask for 3 different appointment times so they can select from. The technicians appears 3 days later, make assumptions then start taking pictures to send in the HomeSafe. It may take over 2-3 days before a decision made to repair the washer. If it is approved, the technician comes back to repair. By this time its been more than a week when the technician had the part once diagnosed. The department that approves the repair does not work on the weekend so the customer is inconvenienced. Appliances and services does not have schedule to breakdown so there should be someone working the repairs approvals. I am going into 2 weeks for a simple washer suspension repair.Customer Answer

On 02/17/2025, I requested service for my washer and waited over 3 days because they wanted $65.00 service fee first. I paid the $65.00 and provided 3 times for an appointment. Due to no dirty clothes hamper, I placed the dirty laundry in the washer waiting for repair. Finally, 02/24/2025, I called to for an approval update but had to wait for someone to return my call. I received a call from Homesafe with an approval that evening. On 02/25/2025, spoke to someone name shaylin in approval department in ehich she was very demeaning, rude and unprofessional. I explained about my neck and back surgery so I could not go to a Washteria to wash clothes. She very indifferent with a So attitude. I asked if there was someone else they could send because waiting for all the unnecessary steps for a service inconvenience the customer. The approval representative did not care and wanted to start service all over again. This is going 2 week for a service I pay for and not worth the aggravation Armis Homesafe causes.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: approvals and repair timeframes are unreasonable. I had to wait 3 days for your repairman, 3 days for approval once diagnostics are submitted then another 2-3 days for repairman to comeback for the repair. I am in the process of finding another Home Warranty company.

This problem is related to work orders # SR****** AND #SR225266.We contacted HomeSafe in October 2024 initially for a leak in the master bathroom's tub faucet and toilet, and a leak in the faucet in the guest bathroom They called us back and said they could not find anyone to come out and they would pay us $150.00 to find someone. We called Tiger plumbing who came out and inspected the problem. When they came out to work on the original work order (SR#******), as we entered the basement we were greeted with water coming from the ceiling and in the mechanical room flooded with 2 inches of water on the floor. HomeSafe was immediately contacted and apprised of the current situation. Tiger was here and told them (HomeSafe) we had an emergency in the basement and what was found. The sewage ejector pump was not operating. HomeSafe created another order number and asked us to get an estimate from Tiger. Tiger said the work would cost $1707.00 and HomeSafe okayed the work. We emailed them the written estimate from Tiger.Tiger removed and replaced the pump that day and I paid Tiger on my **************** card. I paid $1707.00.HomeSafe has not reimbursed us for the repair saying they need a report from Tiger that indicated that the pump needed replacement. Since then we have been calling Tiger and HomeSafe to resolve this dispute with no resolve. HomeSafe sent us the $150.00 they promised for finding a plumber.Business Response

We have contacted them to obtain information referenced in your complaint. Upon further review it was found that claim SR225266 was resolved and a check was issued. Claim SR178219 was denied due to corrosion showing to be the cause of failure in the images received via the service provider. Corrosion is an exclusion per the contract terms of your home service contract. The adjudication was done correctly per the terms of the contract and the claim will remain denied.

I submitted a claim to have a built-in microwave repaired. Homesafe told me both at the time of filing the claim that I would pay whatever the service tech charged and they would reimburse the difference between the total and the deductable $121.33 / $65.00 They referred Appliance Repair ***************** of Federal Way WA. The tech arrived 1/20/2025. He did not even look at the appliance before telling me it could not be repaired. They also told me I would be reimbursed for the cost over the ************** I am being told by HomeSafe that the claim in not covered since the microwave is classifie as a countertop microvave even though ********** sells it as both and sells a kit to build it in.They will not refund the cost over the deductable because they say it's not a covered appliance.Again, the service tech did not even look at it or attempt to turn it on before saying it was not repairable.I have since found that it is a common issue and was easily repaired with a $45 part.I have cancelled this contract as of today. I had terrible customer service, being transferred 3 times and placed on hold. Cancellation Confirmation HHP8317167.I don't expect I will see a refund as this company appears to have highly enethical business practices.

As previously related to your agents, one of your phone telemarketers sold a contract to a 96 year old dementia patient. In the BBB complaint you issued a standard, "we need a contract number" response. That is not going to be available because the patient with whom your agent dealt does not have a memory that extends even to the length of a phone call. She is also incapable of maintaining any paper records of any kind. For research purposes, your customer of record is:
******* ********
7 ******** **
**************, **
The telemarketers mistake was pointed out to one of your phone agents in December and they refused to take any steps to close out the account. We expect for you to promptly act on this case and we will close our BBB complaint. ************ has been blocked from any further payments from Mrs. ********** accounts.
If you decline to act properly to resolve the complaint, the next steps will be to contact both ** and NC state elder fraud authorities with a description of your actions and inactions and to also advise the state attorney general office of both states. It would appear that the least onerous path forward for your firm is to cancel Mrs. ********** contract and make certain that her name and phone number is entered into your DNC list.
