I currently own four attached units. Salesman told me multiple units discounts as well as cancelation of ALL four units at a price of 204. However I have been receiving bills for 204 dollars per unit. This is not how the salesman explained their cancellation policy for multi units. Services recorded on their books do not match services rendered at property. Video surveillance was in use, they did not go into or enter units they claimed to have serviced.Business Response

August 2024, I signed a 'PEST CONTROL SERVICE' contract with this company to service my Mothers home in **. I reside in **. I provided them with my CC#, which stayed on file, so they can draft $39/mth for 1 year. The service was for spraying insects such as ants, spiders, other bugs. After the technician finished the job, he alerted her that he found termites. She told the tech to contact me to see if I wanted that service done. The tech told me the price would be $1k plus an additional $30/mth for visits. I told the tech no, that cost too much, I'll pass for now. The following week, Sept 4, I received a text from a new tech at 5:52am my time, 8:52 his time, letting me know he would be at her home in 45mins to do a termite service. I responded exactly 2 mins later telling him via text, that I did not order that service for my mother and to check with the 1st tech who I told NO to. The tech did not respond until 3 1/2 hrs later, after he already did the service, simply saying, 'OK, I'll check with the tech.' Then I received a call from his manager asking me for proof that I did not request the service, which I provided. Later that day I received an invoice and the balance I owed was $0! Fast forward 2 weeks ago, Nov 1, while checking my bank acct., I noticed that I had a $1019 charge from the company. I immediately contacted them. A salesman answered the phone, I explained the whole situation, was put on hold for 20+ mins, call the manager of the tech while on hold and he even said I should not have been charged. They referred me to the regional manager who refused to give my money back, simply saying we have a signed contract to that particular service. I told him I did not authorize anyone to charge my card so that is illegal. After receiving the signed termite contract, that's when I saw that the 1st tech had forged my moms name. Also the 1st tech was fired the same week he did her service ironically. Stay clear of Go-forth. This is shady business. Shame on ****!Business Response

Not sure who sent this, but you can't do a chargeback on the same dates that the charges were taken out. I have been dealing weekly with ***** on this case and was supposed hear something back today, Dec 12, 2024, as she was going to communicate with the payroll manager for her to call **** to figure out why I haven't been refunded. I have yet to hear back from *****. She is aware of the progress and issue with this transaction. So once again, no money has been refunded to my account because ********************** shows the account in a pending status.Customer Answer

Recently I had noticed there were two air ducts that needed repaired or replaced. I went to goggle to find a ************ saw Go forth is with BBB and had good enough ratings for me to contact. ******** came out looked around in some areas not all and recommended I have new air ducts installed. I was hesitate but As a disabled female I agreed. Cost $6405.00; was installed 8-23-24 by two guys. **** takes the check to office and I get a email to pay for services. To this day I am receiving invoices to pay. I do not understand what is happening. One of the ducts fell the same day. I called for days leaving messages. Finally I had to ask for a regional manager **** and he said he would get someone back out to my home that was on 8-30-24. ****, repaired his coworkers mistake and he and I looked at other areas that needed attending to underneath the crawl space. We devised a plan to have new registers installed at no cost to me which I thought I had already paid for in the total payment. Now I am addressing my concerns and is asking questions no one is interested. I think the size 6 air ducts are too small for my bedrooms. I have a 2 ton unit and think those branching off from the 12, 10 should go down to 8 inch in steps for a 1753sqf 4 bedroom home. I called for days leaving messages. ********* was on vacation so no one knew the details in the estimate fully so my question went unanswered by regional manager. I am again trying to get in contact with **** to give home the details to my bedrooms as discussed no communications whatsoever. Make calls to office staff passes messages but **** the technician never calls back. The company in general has poor communication and customer service support. I think this is going to be an issue for the next 20years that I have a warranty. I think I may have made the wrong decision to have this company to be my HVAC contractor. At this the time I need help moving forward.Customer Answer

I have not heard from the business in response to my complaint.
Customer states someone from the business called asking for complaint to be removed, said they would come out, however no one has come out. The regional manager then called and again stated someone would be coming out, however this is going on 2 weeks and no one has come out.

I have contacted go forth pest control several times to dispute this charge of $160.50.#1 I did not know that to forth pest control was buying out my previous used pest control service. #2 with my previous pest control I would call them to come out. They did not come unannounced. I also did not owe a balance when this buy out took place. #3 I did not know go forth pest control was coming this day and I watched them on my ring door **** after the fact. I never told them to spray my outside. I was not even home for them to render any type of service. So why am I being charged and why have they contacted arm solutions to get payment from me? I have signed no contract with go forth pest control and I have not given them authorization to come to my home on the day of any service for them to even charge me a bill. Is this even allowed? To come to a persons home without their knowledge or consent and just charge for a service and then hire a company to collect payment?Business Response

Hello,
I'm responding to the complaint issued by ****** ******* regarding Go-Forth Pest Control. Our records indicate that we did provide authorized service to Ms ******* in May 2023. ******* contacted our office because she was unhappy that we did not service the inside of her home during that service visit. She was refunded for the month of May in the amount of $80.25 for this reason. ******* declined to discuss continuing pest control services so her account was cancelled. However, she still had a balance of $240.75 for services that were previously provided. Please see the screenshot below of our last communications with Ms ******* in May 2023.

I was emailed a past due notice of $140. I called to ask what it was about. They said its for termite inspection thats due for inspection on 7/10. I asked why they are billing me for a service that isnt rendered yet. They said they bill on the 1st of the month. The 2nd of the month is late. Why are they billing in advance? Asked to cancel my service so I was transferred. No one ever came to the phoneBusiness Response

On starting service I was charged $295 for the privilege of a month to month contract. This was fine. I agreed. I paid $295. On Go-Forth Pest Control's FIRST VISIT, one of the two specialists they sent, stepped on a recessed light in my attic damaging the drywall ceiling in the room below.I DISCOVERED THIS AFTER THE SPECIALISTS LEFT. Neither of them informed me they'd done this. I can only assume that they hoped I wouldn't notice long enough for them to deny responsibility. I called Go-Forth Pest Control hours after their visit. After the expected apologies and such, I was told that the specialist who'd visited would be calling me for details on how this would be handled. Odd... But I waited for a call.I was called and eventually informed that I would need to find someone to make the repair and I'd be reimbursed by Go-Forth Pest Control. Instead of insisting that they contract and pay for the repair, I did as they asked, expecting a quick resolution. This was foolish.I had the work done and sent the invoice as requested, then I waited... Weeks passed. Specialists came back for another monthly service, but my check hasn't come. Another few weeks passed and I called their office to find out WHY I'd not received my check. Particularly since they made sure to charge me on the 1st of every month without fail, for service. I was assured that the check had been sent.More than a week passed, again... No check. I called again and was told the check was mailed out on May 3rd. This. Was... Odd... Because I'd been assured BEFORE May 3rd that my check has been mailed. Clearly someone LIED. I spoke to the same manager that I'd been transferred to the previous week, *****************************. She told me that as she'd said, the check was mailed out last week... From 1 state away...I've now paid $295 + 2 monthly payments of $55 + $250 to repair damage caused when Go-Forth Pest Control's specialist stepped thru my ceiling and tried to dodge responsibility for having done so.Business Response

Hi *******,
I spoke to our resolution department and they provided **************** with a full refund of what had been paid and the check has been deposited.
Please let me know if we can provide any additional assistance in this matter.Warmest regards,
