      We purchased a water heater from the company. This month $287.88 was charged to our credit card. This charge is for maintenance service and we didnt approve or ask for the service. I have called them 3 times to dispute the charge and to date, ***, the director ***** returned my calls. The customer service representative would not give me his phone number. I told her this isnt acceptably. We are in a fixed income and cant afford this.I want the charge of $287.88 removed from our credit card. I also want ***, the director to call me.

      Warning! Warning!Deceptive and unethical practices ahead!Plumber came out to replace 2 water supply valves for a washing machine that were leaking, and that were corroded, and I could not remove myself for fear of snapping them off and on a Sunday that would not have gone over well. ******* showed up on time as promised, and I am thankful for that, note the one star. Explained over the phone to me he might have to cut wall, cut water supply line and replace valves $600. Instead, I got two wrenches, some twisting and 2 -$16 valves, which were not any different than the 2 new ones I had on hand that he told me he couldn't use. The whole job maybe an hour, ************************ the truck, . *******************************************************************. Watch video of what was done and judge for yourself. Then I tried to avoid posting this by contacting the only point of contact I had via texting just to see if there was any wiggle, and there's not. Actually no one can help at all, once you agreed to the price, apparently you have sold your soul. This is what happens when you live in an area where the jobs are plentiful and ads on WBAP are expensive. Yes, I called them. Yes, I agreed to the price which again sounded like it was going to be more labor intensive and involve more, or at least different parts. But I know all people / companies make mistakes and I judge on how you address these mistakes. Honestly $25-$50 bucks would have been all it taken. So, whoever is reading this for BFP if you can say without a doubt what you seen in the video and know that's exactly what was done seems fair, then I guess we are done.I will try to find a plumbing board of ethics if there is one or reach out to corporate entity if there is one.
