Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Bottom line, even per the plumber that took the time to look at the entire issue and read the warranty stated part of the damage should have been coveredAs stated before, per speaking with CHW, prior to work being done, was advised of what to do, if in fact, part of it was covered and was told to send the completed invoice to a specific email addressUnfortunately companies like this existI have been with another home warranty company in the past where you pay a little more, maybe $10, but they really were there for the customer, standing by what they claim to cover and do the job in full, to the customers satisfactionIn my opinion, the other warranty company didn't look for loopholes, lack integrity, be anti-customer or have misleading advertisement like CHWI gave CHW a year of my time, and with almost ALL of my claims, have been disappointedWith that being said, I am cancelling my warranty with them next month, waiting for my new warranty with another companyRegards, [redacted]
