In response to complain ID #: ******** from ******* ******
******* ***** had been a client of ours for several years and had the first known issue in 2021.
On 9/24/21 we installed her Christmas lights after she accepted her quote and paid. Around late October, she reached out to let us know that a portion of a strand had come undone from her roofline and we said that we would come back to fix it as soon as possible.On 10/27/21, shortly after the repair request was entered into the system, there was an automatic email accidentally sent to her. She states that the email said she had to pay $100.00 to have the lights repaired. We believe the accidental email was about our Elite Service Plan that we offer, where we will give unlimited service visits regardless of the cause, but that service comes with a charge. We did clarify with her that since she was not requesting the Elite Service Plan that we would not charge her for the repair.
On 11/10/21, we fixed the issue of the hanging lights and our records specifically say that it was done at no charge. We are not aware if she had any contact with crew members or office staff that may have said something different in regards to this issue after it was fixed.
On 12/17/21 we dropped off some baked Christmas cookies to her as part of our customer appreciation program and to the best of our knowledge no other issues had been brought up at that time. Sometime right after the Christmas season of 2021 she wrote a negative 1-star review about her experience with us stating that we kept insisting on charging her $100 for rehanging the lights. Since we believed that issue was remedied, the review came as a surprise to us and we do not feel it was warranted because the review did not say anything about how we took care of the repair at no charge.
On 10/5/22 she reached out to us via email and asked where her yearly Christmas light quote was as she was waiting on it and wanting us to install her lights again for this holiday season. **** ****** decided it was best that we part ways with her due to the unfair review that she left about our company, as well as seeing how many negative reviews she left for many other businesses on Google. We reached out to her via email to let her know we would no longer be doing business with her. She then started to leave more negative reviews on multiple social media platforms stating that **** ****** was harassing her via email and continuing to say that we insisted on charging her for repairs when once again, she was never charged.Our company would like to formally apologize for any miscommunication and confusion we have caused, and we appreciate the maturity that she exhibited by removing her defaming reviews of our company. We have since removed her from any and all mailing lists as requested so she should no longer receive any calls, texts or emails from us in the future. Should any further proof or documentation be needed in regards to this issue, we are happy to provide that.
Warmest regards,
**** ******
