We apologize for the inconveniences the consumer experienced.While reviewing the notes and upon further investigation, it appears our repair center deemed the unit beyond economical repair and therefore we proceeded with an alternative resolutionWe show the item was not in our possession for
longer than our day guarantee therefore it does not qualify for a refund of the plan.For security issues we no longer utilize *** as a method of reimbursement which is why we defaulted to an alternate reimbursement method.Our records show payment was processed and has since been mailed
We are sorry for any issues the consumer had with their device. According to the consumer's warranty contract SquareTrade will, "Replace Your Product with a product of like, kind, quality and functionality." When the consumer's claim was filed on their device a like new replacement was
available to be shipped Since there are replacement devices currently available we are unable to process a reimbursement
We apologize for any difficulty experienced with the claims process. When this consumer filed a claim on 12/5/it was initially denied on the basis of the issue occurring during the warranty's exclusionary periodAn exclusionary period is a period of time from the date of purchase wherein
we will not approve any claims, and it is very common for cellphonesWhen the consumer called back the following day it was determined that this denial was in error, as this consumer's warranty did not include an exclusionary periodWe apologized for the misunderstanding and approved the consumer's claim for a replacement device. On 12/7/an agent from Consumer Cellular notified us that the consumer requested to cancel their policy, and due to this the consumer's policy and recent claim were cancelledIf the consumer would like to proceed with receiving their replacement device we would require that Consumer Cellular is contacted and the consumer's warranty status is re-approved, otherwise we would be unable to offer assistance

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: There was no pre-existing condition It is a television, not some home appliance The issue here is that Squaretrade failed to repair my television after attempts and turned around after the third failure and told me that they would not replace the TV Before the 3rd repair attempt, I asked to have the TV replaced since their repairs did not seem to work for more than a few months at best, but they assured me they wanted to try more time and would replace it after that if it did not work I am beyond frustrated with the number of games this company has decided to employ at this point when I just want them to honor what they promised and replace my TV, which still has year left in the term of the warranty.Sincerely,*** ***
