I am filing this complaint against Massey ********* for unethical and potentially illegal business practices related to their cancellation and billing process.On March 3, 2025, I contacted Massey ********* to cancel my lawn service. I spoke with multiple representatives, and each time I was assured that my account had been canceled. Despite this, I was still charged for a service dated March 31, 2025, nearly a month after the cancellation request.This indicates a deliberate refusal to process cancellations, which is not only dishonest but borders on fraudulent business conduct. I did not authorize any services past March 3, nor was I informed of any advance notice requirements that would justify a continued charge.Desired Outcome:Immediate cancellation of my account (if not already processed)A full refund for the unauthorized March 31 charge Written confirmation that my account has been closed and that I will not be billed for any future services Internal investigation into this recurring cancellation issue and a commitment to revising their cancellation policies to prevent similar incidents for other customers If this matter is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to escalate this issue further, including taking legal action if necessary.Additional Comments:This experience was made worse by the company's unresponsive and ineffective customer **********************. I have since moved my business to another lawn care provider, ****, who has already made significant improvements to my lawn in just two weeksat a lower cost and with much better customer support.Business Response

I have been trying to cancel my services with Massey for over 1 month. I spoke to a supervisor yesterday who said he would work on it right away.

On April 28, 2024, I engaged Massy Services to repair a broken pipe at my property. *** *******, a representative of the company, performed the repair and inquired if I wished to activate additional services. I explicitly stated that the service agreement should not be activated until I provided further notice. *** ******* acknowledged this instruction. I paid for the pipe repair and made it clear that no other services should commence without my explicit authorization.Despite this, beginning in October 2024, I started receiving bills for services that I explicitly declined. I contacted the billing department twice using the number provided on the invoices, and both times I was assured the issue would be resolved. However, the bills continued to arrive. Additionally, I reached out to *** ******* to address the matter, and he promised to resolve it. Nevertheless, I received further bills and an intent-to-lien letter threatening unauthorized charges to my card and a referral of the matter to a collections agency.After repeated attempts to resolve this issue with *** *******, who again assured me he would handle it, I received a letter on March 12, 2025, from ******* ****, the corporate billing manager. The letter threatened continued collection efforts and potential damage to my credit score unless payment was made for services I did not authorize.I have retained all communications regarding this matter in written form, including emails and documentation of my explicit instructions not to activate the service agreement. This situation constitutes a breach of contract and unauthorized billing practices, causing undue stress and financial concerns. I never anticipated that a simple pipe repair would escalate into such a contentious issue.Business Response

Transaction Date: 1/29/25 (1/31/25 for CC Processing to Finalize)I have been using Massey since April or May of 2024, immediately after purchasing my house I discovered ********* Ants in the walls. There were also sounds in the **************** they ultimately caught a rodent, and sealed up an entryway into my attic as part of my regular pest ********** January I spoke with them regarding Exclusion Services with the Rodents, as I was hearing activity still. They sent an inspector out, he had me sign a contract for $1600, indicating that they would take care of the rodents, and within a month I would be good to go. I was not initially clear that they were using a subcontractor, when that became clear I was told I had two options, one that was $1600, and another that was around $3400. I have been struggling financially due to a loss job resulting from the closure of a company that happened immediately after I purchased my house, so I went with the less expensive option, they assured me that he was an expert, would have the issue handled quickly.Unfortunately, that was a lie. Their Subcontractor routinely failed to show up when he said he would, and only showed up a handful of times to my house. I was still hearing significant activity on February 21st, and informed the subcontractor, he had me pay $350 to his own subcontractor directly for a Smoke Test earlier that week, which failed to discover anything. He promised to return that following Monday with a Camera and Live Trap. Unbeknownst to me, he also removed his traps.That was the last I ever saw or heard from him. I informed Massey that he no showed me several days after his appointment, they did nothing. Weeks later I followed up again, having had to hire ANOTHER company to complete the work, and they have another sub inspect my ************ they want another $2400 to complete the job, or, no, there is no or.

We have a lawn service contract with Massey which I renew it every year. I have called them every week once for past 1 month to request lawn service as my grass is dying. Every time I have been told that they will be at the property next day and no one shows up. The call center also promised me a call back from the supervisor 2 weeks ago and no one has called back yet.Business Response
Date: 02/04/2025
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We apologize for any frustration or inconvenience experienced while attempting to reach our team.
The General Manager of the local service center met with the customer at the property to discuss concerns regarding the lawn service. During this visit, the representative provided the customer with a business card and direct contact number to ensure easier communication moving forward. To prevent further issues, he ensured that if she contacted the local service center number, someone would contact her immediately.
While on-site, the manager assessed the lawn's condition and noted traffic-related damage on the right side due to a neighbors pool installation, as well as some thinning areas in the front near a large oak tree. The customer was informed that the next scheduled treatment would help improve growth and color. The customer acknowledged this information before returning inside.
Our company values every customer and remains committed to providing quality service. If further assistance is needed, the customer is encouraged to use the direct contact information provided to ensure prompt communication.
