I am rejecting this response because: the repair man that repaired our refrigerator wasn't getting paid for the work he did here plus other placesI spoke to customer service about him not being paid more then once and each one gave me a different reason why he was't paid yetWe never have any problems with our mail being lost by which I already recieved two other checks from themBy looking at their track record I do not believe the check is lost

The claim was processed according to the terms of the policy as outlined in section Letter F, Number CHW doesn't offer repairs related to lack of maintenanceIt is suggested also that there may be a manufacturer's warranty that can assist you with the repairsRegards, CHW
