    I made a claim #**** and they offered me cash in lieu. However, I am trying to reach someone who can explain the criteria to determine the cash amount. I called multiple times and sent multiple email but no response from other side. Their customer service a nightmare and unprofessional. They hung up the phone.

    Called & got an answering service & was told I'd get a call, never received, so I called back. I was told I would get an email with a claim number, when I didn't receive it, I called again. I was told it would be sent right then. Never received, called again & told I would have an answer within the ********* claim woud be expedited. Never received a call or email. Called again, was told I had to wait ***** hrs for any information, yet he was the same guy I initially talked to that said he was sending an email (had the same foreign accent). I told him the last person said he woud expedite it. He then said to get my own tech. I asked if they would cover ******* wouldn't give me a straight answer. I asked to speak to a supervisor & was transferferred to a full mailbox that hangs up. I called back and an extremely rude man with a NY accent bullied me the whole time. He asked me my name and as I was telling him and spelling it out, he asked me 4 more times. I said if you would just listen! He then said I was getting hysterical and wouldn't help me. I said "you weren't listening when I was giving you my name & now you won't even listen to why I'm calling". He point blank said "I don't care about your story" You won't get an answer for ***** hrs. I told him he was being rude. I was tired of getting the run around and wanted to talk to a supervisor. Once again, I was sent to the bogus full mailbox. I called back again & talked to someone named ****. I told her that I never received an email with a claim number nor any information as to who my tech would be. She gave me the name and number of a technician & told me she was sending an email as we were speaking which I never received. I called the number, it was bogus (Devon) ************* More lies. When I signed up for the service, the salesman told me the service itself would be a *****hr turn around to get a technician out. I can't even get a claim number in 24 hrs! This is day 2 and person #8 without any answers.

    Contacted my warranty company because washer is acting up and they sent tech to check the issue. 3 weeks later no call from them and called and they stated they couldn't located the parts needed to fix the washer and due to the age they would pay me out $75.00 dollars. My washer is only 2-3 years old bought new . All i am asking for is repair or replace per contract. I have email for the contract too but cant upload. There no way anyone now days you can purchase a washer for $75.00. Im just asking for it to be repaired but they keep saying this was per underwriting. This is the whole purpose of a home warranty.

    After several conversations with a rep from this company (****), we were given a deal" of a 6-year policy for home warranty insurance for $385.00/year for a total of $2310.00. The amount had to be paid up-front to keep the warranty monies down to $385.00/year per ****. We paid via **** on 12/29/23 with an effective date of 1/29/24 (Policy#: *****). With this, we were told that we could cancel at any time if we changed our mind. After negotiations with a competitor were had, we decided to go with them and cancel this policy. We called ************* to make him aware of our decision! The first call was made on 1/8/24.- **** said he would have this account cancelled and that we would receive confirmation (and refund) the following day (1/9/24). No word received so we called back on 2/1/24. At this time, **** said an email would come to us confirming cancellation and would request a reason of why we wanted to cancel. This was completed. Since then, we have replied to that same email and even created new ones, asking that our account be cancelled and credited. No one ever replies to these emails. I think I have counted 14 emails sent to this company to date. There have also been multiple calls to **** and his manager (****) - both gave us great grief on why we wanted to cancel and that this is something they really can't do; conflicts with all other verbiage they used prior. After professing we no longer wanted their services and need our **** credited, begging, they again, finally, said they'd have this completed - this occurred on two conversations. Otherwise, they never answer and/or return multiple-made calls. I think we were lucky to get them on the line just these two times. Mind you, prior to signing up, they were available all the time for questions, sales pressure, etc. As it stands today, we have still not received a cancellation nor refund for this horrific transaction. We are looking to BBB for any assistance you can provide!! Thank you!!

    On February 7th, 2024. I signed up for a home warranty with First Premier. I was charged $37.01 that same day and was informed that I had 30 days to review the policy. After deciding not to continue with the policy, I called them on February 4th 2024 to cancel the policy. The customer representative that I spoke with tried to get me to stay with them by offering a lower price. I still maintained that I wanted to cancel my policy. She then stated that she needed to refer me to the claims department to cancel my policy. I really didn't understand that, because I had not filed a claim with First Premier. So, I was transferred to the claims department and spoke with yet another representative. This representative asked me why I wanted to cancel. I explained that I could no longer afford the policy. She then proceeded to tell me that I can't cancel on the phone and that she would have to email a link to cancel. I was pretty busy with other engagements that day, so I didn't check my email until later that night. I was befuddled by the contents of the email, so I called First Premier to speak with a representative. The representative stated that I needed to speak with someone in customer service and that he would put in a notification for someone to contact me. Well, the next day, I noticed that another $37.01 was withdrawn from my account. I immediately called First Premier, once again only this time, to speak with a manager. They transferred me to someone who claimed to be a manager. He was very unprofessional. I explained to him that I wanted to cancel my policy and questioned why I still was charged. He told me that I could pay $75.00 to cancel. I told him that I couldn't pay that much to cancel and also wanted to know if the $75.00 fee could be waived. He said no, it can't. The fact that I was still in my 30-day trial period and being charged $75.00 to cancel my policy was of concern to me. I couldn't get a satisfactory answer, so I asked who his supervisor was. He literally laughed in my ear and said that he didn't have a supervisor. I responded by saying that there has to be someone else in charge who he had to answer to. He then said no one is above me! In my dismay, I just said okay and disconnected the line. He didn't even offer a resolution to the issue like the very first representative that I talked to tried to do. The unethical behavior of this "SUPERVISOR" was beyond me. All I want is a formal apology and at least one $37.01 amount (if not both amounts) refunded.

    We were sold this policy over the phone. Representative did not say anything about fees or prorations in the event we needed to cancel. Paid for 6 years up front. 1st claim we ever did was for an oven. Sent a guy. Ok. Paid the copay. Ok cool. No problem. Then we get a roof leak. We paid for extra coverage on roof and septic. Went to file a claim, and guess what, roof leak isn't covered. Wow ok. Roll down to a week later our ice machine in our side by side quits. Call again. Told that isn't covered either. We weren't told of any of this in the beginning. My fault for not demanding a copy of the contract up front. So then I say well I'll cancel it. Since we only are 2 years in. Then I'm told there are cancellation fees and prorations for cancelling. Again, none of this was mentioned in the beginning. So out of 3000 we are getting back around 117 dollars. Really?! So I signed their paper and emailed it back after bugging them for a whole month. Then asked if it would be backdated to the time we 1st requested a refund and no response. Emailed and asked if they got the form and mailed the check, still no response. I will never use a home warranty company again. Such a scam.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    I still have not received the check and called about it a few times. I was told to keep calling back. It's been a month and still haven't received it. I even emailed asking for a form to cancel the check and if they can issue a new one. No response from the email. I am not satisfied with this company or the representatives I've encountered.

     I never got the check. I called an email since March the first they kept telling me to call back which I did. I finally spoke to someone yesterday. That said, they will reissue it and it may take 90 days. This is holy coming to an end. But it's just very, very frustrating and very unprofessional. This company has been the worst company I have ever dealt with and honestly I wish I could get my full refund for the almost $3000. I spent on this warranty. I used one time because they would keep telling me that nothing else was covered when I got extra coverage. I'm getting back like a $100 from that. Which is fine as long as I get it. I just will not ever do business with them. And I will never recommend them to anyone else thank you]

    purchased a Home Warranty from First Premier on 2/29/24 for $1633.12 and was told by agent ********************* i had up to 30 days to cancel it. Upon reviewing the letter they emailed me, my husband and i decided we didn't want this because there were things not explain to us like an additional service fee and other items that wasn't covered. I called First Premier Home Warranty on 03/01/24 and spoke with manager *********************** and was told i couldn't cancel this policy (*****) because we committed to 5 years and could cancel it after a year. I told him i spoke with agent ********************* and he stated i could cancel it up to 30 days and he never mentioned after a year. ****************** stated that wasn't the fact and continue to trying to tell me i couldn't cancel it until a year.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********* and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    They are accurate in indicating a form was sent to close my account AND reimburse me a small portion.  My complaint is regarding the misinformation given to me as I tried to handle terminating my policy.  I was repeatedly told I had to wait until my agreement to settle on my dryer claim was processed and a check received before I could cancel.  This caused them to deduct the prorated months from the reminbursement of my policy.  

    I am not satisfied with the way this was handled.  If they reviewed transcripts of the many calls made, they would see that I was given misinformation every step of the way.

     This is the same response as last time.  Once again, the issue is the misinformation I was given for months that caused me to lose 3 months of unused contract reminbursment.  This is astonishing how inempt this company is.

    I requested the service for my washing machine on 2/12/24 and they sent a technician from DNG appliance on 2/13. The technician inspected the washer and said he need to replace a part of the washing machine and need to get a approval from the warranty company. He said it will take 1 day to get an approval from them and 2-3 days to get the part delivered. I waited till friday (2/16) for a response and I didnt got any up to then. So I decided to call the warranty company and they said they will check and call in the evening, which they never called me back.So I had to call them on Saturday (2/17) and they told me call them on Monday. So I called them on Monday (2/19) and which no one answered the calls. Finally I managed to get hold of them on Tuesday (2/21) which they said they will send me an email of an update of the claim by Wednesday between 10am to 1pm. I didnt got any email from them up to now.So I had to call them again Wednesday (2/22) evening and they said they will call me tomorrow. So finally I got hold of them on Thursday ( 2/23) after 11 days of my first request and they said they are denying my claim.The reason they gave me for denying was, due to over loading / misusing the washing machine, which is very contradicting to the statement technician told me when he came to inspect the Washer. Then I tried to talk to their managers saying that it is wrong what they are doing and I need a proper statement in writing regarding the decision. All the manager were rude and unethical the way they spoke to me and they hung up on me when I keep asking them for a reasonable explanation. I spoke to lime 3-4 managers they denied to fully identify them self for my records.One of them gave the name as ******* / senior representative and other ******* / Ops manager. The latter even threatened me that he is going to cancel my account if I keep asking for explanations. One other person stated that, I owe them money ever though I have the policy until 10/18/24

     I am yet to receive any phone call or email response regarding my claim. It has been more than one month after my claim.
    As I mentioned in my complaint, the claim rejection explanation gave by the employees from the warranty company is contradictory for the verbal explanation gave to me by the technician who came to inspect the machine.

     

    Also I have already purchased a washing machine on my own and I would like the warranty company to cover my expenses.

    Feel free to contact our claims department and we will have a Authorization manager go over the denial again.
