We are sorry the consumer had issues with their device
The claim was processed incorrectly on our side which caused the delay in the consumer getting an update for the status of the claim
We have contacted the consumer and approved a claim
for a payoutDue to the poor experience we have also refunded the consumer the warranty price
As stated in out Terms and Conditions the “Coverage Start Date: 04/19/***” the purchase date of the deviceThe warranty length is years from that dateAs our warranties are available for many different manufacturers we do not “adjust” our warranty price based on what the manufacturer offers
Also there are cases where the manufacturer does not cover the full cost of repair, i.eparts and not labor or shipping costs to send the item in for repairWhen that is the case the consumer can use the SquareTrade Warranty to cover those costs during the period that the manufacturer’s warranty is active

Here is another claim that I received yesterday and it was resolved on Tuesday when the consumer received the replacement phone
Complaint XXXXXXXX
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (2000, 7, 2015/08/12) */
Issue has been resolved
We apologize for any inconvenience that the consumer might have experienced during the replacement process
In our latest interaction with the customer dated 1/30/the consumer has gone ahead and accepted our newest replacement offer for a TV setThis has bought this matter to a satisfactory conclusionWe appreciate the consumer's continual efforts in prompting to make sure that we deliver as promised
We are sorry for any issue the consumer experienced with their device
The consumer's device was inspected at our repair center and was found to have liquid damage causing the failureAs previously stated, the warranty for the unit does not cover liquid damageEven with the unit being designed for outdoors, the warranty needed to be purchased with accidental coverage to cover that type of damage. Unfortunately, there is no further assistance SquareTrade is able to provide in connection with this camera issue
Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: The business is falsely claiming there are bodily fluids on the itemThis is the main reason that I contacted the Revdex.comSquaretrade is claiming the damage is caused by someone or something urinating on the ***, however the *** was never exposed to any fluid whether it be water, urine, or any other liquid substanceThe *** was installed in a sub enclosure and that sub enclosure was installed in the hatchback storage area of a *** *** ***, as that car does not have a traditional trunkThe *** enclosure took up the whole storage area space the car hadI do not have any pets and see no logistical way the *** would come in contact with any body waste
The seller now states that I can make a new claim, but in the phone calls I had with the customer service department, they consider the case closed because Squaretrade is claiming the damage on the unit is from urine, not from malfunction of the unit itself (the speaker coils)At this point, I see no reason to make an "additional" or "alternate" claim as Squaretrade has decided the *** has liquid damage, which isn't covered despite the fact that there has been no liquid exposure on the ***.
Additionally, the item was further damaged in Squaretrade's possession as the *** has an internal rattle that was not there when I received it, which conveniently enough, the warranty does not cover "accidental damage" despite that it was never dropped in my possession
At this point, It seems they have made a decision that the damage is due to liquid and I would like for squaretrade to have it tested at their expense at a laboratory so we can both have proof of where on the item the biohazard material is locatedOnce the item is done testing, I would like for Squaretrade to repair or replace the item, which Squaretrade has made no mention of actually doing in their message but rather "addressing my concerns" about the warranty, not the item itself
Sincerely,*** ***
Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: The headphones were not severely damaged and ripped from the speaker when I sent them to squatetradeWhen they maiked the headphones back to me they included a letter saying that I sent the wrong item not that my item was damaged beyond the terms of the warranty because it was notThe headphones arrived in a different worst off condition then when I sent them and this company who hires another company to inspect the product doesn’t even know what happened to my headphones beyond the original issue I sent them in for which was covered under the warrantyThey need to take responsibility. Sincerely,*** ***

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I am at an unfair advantage in answering Squaretrade in their accusation that I agreed to the replacement TVI requested to hear the audio where I agreed, but they said I would need a court summonsTo the best of my knowledge I never agreed to the replacement TVThe TV I bought a protection plan for was a 3D Active Shutter, Wall-Mountable, HDMI, USB, Wi-FiThe TV they are talking about replacing it with is NOT 3D Active Shutter, only HDMI, USB, and is NOT Wi-FiWith that said; I do know they tape conversations, and if they listened, they know, my son and I both told them, we did not want THAT TV they claim they sentI e-mailed them twice on January 14th, saying that TV would not work outMy son and I spoke to them on January 15th and told them it was the wrong TV they referred to in an e-mail they had sentWe thought they got the message because we heard nothing more from them until I talked to *** on 02-03-She said it was delivered on January 19thI am a Cancer patient, I was in surgery and no one was at my home to take deliveryWhen I talked with her 0n February 3rd, she was going to check on a few things and call me back the next dayI tried calling her a few times, can't get through
Squaretrade has not lived up to their agreement that was purchased February 27, I bought a protection plan for a Panasonic TV that started having problems on January 4, Squaretrade informed me January 5, that the issues were beyond repairMy Squaretrade protection plan does not say anything about replacement unless it's by the manufacturerIt states reimbursement is the alternative to repair
I feel at this time reimbursement is the answer
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2016/02/26) */
We made an exception to approve the claim for payout for the tvThe consumer can expect to receive the payout check in 7-business days to the mailing address associated with the account

After faking a call from their representative *** on February 26th, then sending an e-mail informing me of their decision and asking me to sign and return an Affidavit a moment later; One minute later I received an e-mail claiming they had received my signed affidavitI never signed and returned their affidavit, never had the chance toThis is one shady operationThough I did finally receive the check as they promised in reimbursement
We apologize for any difficulty experienced during the claims process for this item
At this time we would not be able to offer a replacement or reimbursement on this consumer's policyThis item does not qualify for our No Lemon Policy due to the length of time from the customer's previous
repairs, and as of our repair technician's most recent visit it was determined that there were no issues found with the deviceThe consumer's most recent claim was denied due to the current issue being isolated to an external source compatibility issue with a particular device, and we have not been provided any information or images to indicate otherwiseWe apologize for any misunderstanding and hope this information clarifies our result
We are sorry for any issues the consumer had with their device. The original check sent out to the customer was returned We have updated the customer's contact information and have sent out another check Originally the customer did not qualify for the day guarantee but due to the delay experienced with the check we have made an exception to reimburse the warranty cost
We are sorry for any confusion experienced during the claim process.Our records indicate that the consumer received the laptop back from repairs more than days agoWhich is why we're unable to repair the laptop again, under the "day" service guarantee.As stated in our Terms and Conditions,
