This is a case that is arguing over BPG's responsibility to send out well-versed and knowledgeable contractors in regard to the home warranty processThe fact that my statement was claimed to be a "story", is erroneous and falseWhen I was told that my air conditioning unit was not covered (by Extreme Comfort technician), a phone call to [redacted] was madeIt was at this point, that she clarified that they (Extreme Comfort) were "not supposed to do that," and that "they (Extreme Comfort) would have no way in knowing what is covered or not." BPG Home Warranty hired contractors who are unknowledgeable and recommended services that totaled There also was NEVER any talk of a dollar covered fixAs a paying customer, BPG 's contractors were confused, and slow to send the necessary paper work for approvalBecause of the confusion, it took a long days to get any type of approvalAgain, this was in July in [redacted] when temperatures were well over degrees during a time in which I had my 89-year-old grandfather visitingBPG is negligent in providing the best service for their customers In reference to the contractors that were hired, the fact that they are licensed in the state of [redacted] doesn't take away from the fact that Extreme Comfort was more than happy to come to the quick conclusion that the air conditioner was "not covered"For them this was a potential business opportunity and began the process of addressing financing so they could begin work for their own profit When I spoke on the phone to [redacted] on 9/4, she stated that a $courtesy reimbursement would be grantedThe amount is reflective of a $dollar minus a total of $This amount was deducted because it was claimed that the $service fee was not paid to Extreme ComfortI have the statement of the cashed check (# ***) of $written to Extreme Comfort and was cashed on 7/29/I would be happy to produce this proofWhen it comes to facts, BPG just cannot keep them straightThis just serves as an example of how disorganized this business is

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: unfortunately your response still does not give me any resolution I still have a broken refrigerator/freezer that is now going on over seven weeks and is under your company's warrantyI still do not have a phone number where I can contact directly a person to follow my case The only number listed is a one number which every time I have called puts me on over an hour hold with representatives that do not know what they are doing and then hang up on me Seven weeks is a ridiculous time for a refrigerator not to be fixed when it is under your warrantyI feel like there is no follow up and my hands are tied and I am at your mercy, and that your company does not care I have yet to still be contacted by your company and find a resolution !!!! Sincerely, [redacted]

Initial Business Response / [redacted] (1000, 5, 2015/09/09) */ We are certainly sorry to hear of this homeowner's concerns and we have conducted a detailed review of her file to evaluate all of the items that she has mentionedIt is important to remember in this review that BPG did not cause the failure to her A/C system and that we are bound by the terms of the warranty contract (and the [redacted] Real Estate Comission) to execute the terms of the contract as they are written The claim was called in to BPG on 7/@ 8:26pm (GA time) and was dispatched to a local, licensed, independent technician from Extreme ComfortA quick check of the [redacted] Department of Licensing and Regulation shows that they remain an actively licensed A/C contractor On 7/24, we heard this story about the claim being "automatically denied"We immediately explained to the homeowner, their agent & our local sales executive that we had not received any report from Extreme Comfort and that no decision can ever be made without a review by BPG's authorization teamWe understood the homeowner was bringing in a 2nd opinion and we explained to her on 7/that if she wanted us to review their findings we certainly could; but not after the repairs were done On 7/27, we finally received the report from the technician that the TXV valve (thermostatic expansion valve) was bad and would need to be replacedThis was authorized immediately at a cost to BPG of $When the technician went to replace the TXV on 7/they found that the homeowner had already replaced her entire system Since that time, we've learned that the homeowners technician diagnosed "bad/stuck compressor valves" and made the decision to replace the whole condenser unit at a cost of $2, [redacted] instead of repairing the valves The warranty contract clearly reads under "how to obtain service" in bold, capitalized lettering; "BPG DOES NOT REIMBURSE OR PAY FOR REPAIRS MADE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL"The contract then gives specific instructions on how the homeowner can use their own technician and still have it covered by the warrantyUnfortunately, those instructions were not followed in this case The warranty contract also explains under the "limitations on liability" section and under "repair or replacement" that, "BPG solely [redacted] decide what repairs or replacements [redacted] be performed It's regrettable that the homeowner elected to replace the system without consulting BPG as that decision rendered her claim non-covered by her home warranty policyThe fact that both technicians reported the bad valves demonstrates that this likely would have been a covered repair had they worked within the terms of the policyFor that reason, our sales executive worked with our authorizations team to ensure that a check would be offered to the homeowner in the amount of $as a goodwill gesture on this claimWe [redacted] not be able to reimburse her for the cost of her A/C replacement as independent technicians did provide a repair solution as opposed to a replacement solution Initial Consumer Rebuttal / [redacted] (2000, 7, 2015/09/10) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) This is a case that is arguing over BPG's responsibility to send out well-versed and knowledgeable contractors in regard to the home warranty processThe fact that my statement was claimed to be a "story", is erroneous and falseWhen I was told that my air conditioning unit was not covered (by Extreme Comfort technician), a phone call to [redacted] was madeIt was at this point, that she clarified that they (Extreme Comfort) were "not supposed to do that," and that "they (Extreme Comfort) would have no way in knowing what is covered or not." BPG Home Warranty hired contractors who are unknowledgeable and recommended services that totaled There also was NEVER any talk of a dollar covered fixAs a paying customer, BPG 's contractors were confused, and slow to send the necessary paper work for approvalBecause of the confusion, it took a long days to get any type of approvalAgain, this was in July in [redacted] when temperatures were well over degrees during a time in which I had my 89-year-old grandfather visitingBPG is negligent in providing the best service for their customers In reference to the contractors that were hired, the fact that they are licensed in the state of [redacted] doesn't take away from the fact that Extreme Comfort was more than happy to come to the quick conclusion that the air conditioner was "not covered"For them this was a potential business opportunity and began the process of addressing financing so they could begin work for their own profit When I spoke on the phone to [redacted] on 9/4, she stated that a $courtesy reimbursement would be grantedThe amount is reflective of a $dollar minus a total of $This amount was deducted because it was claimed that the $service fee was not paid to Extreme ComfortI have the statement of the cashed check (# ***) of $written to Extreme Comfort and was cashed on 7/29/I would be happy to produce this proofWhen it comes to facts, BPG just cannot keep them straightThis just serves as an example of how disorganized this business is

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Fidelity responded with their explanation that "failures due to improper previous repair...is not covered." This statement is not validThe opener was repaired under my contract with Fidelity and Fidelity was contacted every time the opener failed This is not a good business Sincerely, [redacted]
