      Status:
      Resolved
      I received a phone call from an agent from Porch as a referral from my mortgage lender. The agent initially was setting up my Spectrum internet services then told me Porch also offered home warranties and went over what Porch offered versus most other companies. I told the agent that I already had a warranty set up as part of my home purchase contract but I would consider them after the one year warranty we have is expired. The agent said he would mail out a brochure so we can review everything they offer and had the info for when we are ready. I said that would be fine and was then informed they would need to charge my card for $1 to cover mailing the brochure but that would be the only charge. I said that would be fine as long as they understand that I DID NOT want to sign up for the service at this time. I was assured I would not be charged. We'll, that was a lie because I was charged $62 on 12 July for Porch Warranty. I called the number associated with the charge and the rep was rude and argued with me about whether I agreed to sign up or not. Eventually he said he put in a request with the cancelation department to cancel the account and I should hear from them in 48hrs. I never received any response. I have tried calling again with no luck, no one responded to my email requests to cancel it and refund my money. I DO NOT WANT THIS SERVICE AND NEVER AGREED TO SIGN UP. I DO NOT WANT TO BE CHARGED AGAIN AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK THAT YOU TOOK FROM MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. For a company trying to earn my business you definitely have terrible customer service and I will never do business with this scam of a company.

      I have used Porch when they were newer back about 6 yrs ago. And they were pretty good about being reasonable. However, as they grew they became less reasonable and more legalistic. So I stopped using them for a while. I give them another try after leaving for 2-3 yrs this season. I started with their pay as you go lead opportunities. Sadly the quality was not great, so testing the waters was not good. NO ROI. Porch has a auto refund policy which is good. However life doesn't go according to policies, does it. I left them over a lead denial. Policy is 2 calls 2 text within 72 hrs. That's fine. I called 3 times and was within 10 mins over the 72hrs to send the next text. Now mind you this was either way a unresponsive lead. Porch knew this. I asked that they be reasonable about their intention of the policy. They want their contractors to make an effort, no problem! I agree. However this is where the Integrity of a company (or the tires met the road so to speak) shows in their actions. They're unwilling to be reasonable which shows me they're more concerned about their bottom line. Than our relationship as a customer. I left them due to their lack of Integrity they showed me today. This is the very issue when Porch becomes so large and so corporate, like the Home Advisor's out there. I don't have time to chase supervisors or go up the chain of command over something that should be simple for them to take care of. I wouldn't recommend at this time.
