January 31, [redacted] Dispute Resolution Specialist Revdex.com North Wabash, Suite Chicago, IL Re: : [redacted] IN- [redacted] Dear Ms [redacted] : We have received the customer’s complaint, and provide the following response The customer opened a warranty with us in March, The customer has filed three claims under contract, and all of them in last month, approximately They are: On December 20, 2016, the customer opened a sump pump claim, reporting a noise in their basement, that they first noticed in November Per contract, a technician was assigned, but we received no update from the customer or technician, until January 25, 2017, when we waived the fee for the service call, at the customer’s request On December 22, 2016, the customer opened a heating claim, with a noise coming from the furnace from months ago Per contract, a technician was assigned, who found no failures with the furnace, and stated “suspect sewage lift pump hidden in walls in basement.” On January 21, 2017, the customer opened a plumbing claim, speaking of a sewage smell, from a month prior At this time, the customer insisted the fee be waived, claiming these issues were all related to the initial problem A technician was sent, and found a functional (but noisy) valve, and a drain that the customer capped off that morning The customer disagrees with the technician’s diagnosis, and rather than allow us to send a second opinion, is demanding to get his own technician and be reimbursed for whatever repair they deem necessary (we have declined this option, but the customer insists that we will pay for the repair, covered or not-covered.) So, the customer is demanding that we repair the issue(we have explained why the reported failure is not covered, and offered a second opinion), he wants further trade fees refunded (this has been addressed), and he wants a contract refund (The cancellation policy is explained in section VIII.E of the contract) Sincerely, [redacted] Escalated Special Handling

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Although a customer service repcontacted me regarding the refrigerator claim, she explained ot me that HWA could no longer source a certified sub zero service company to repair my unit, that I would have to do that on my own, then have another evaluation done (my third one so far) and have that service provider call into HWA to obtain approval by HWA to repair my refrigeratorSo, I did find one provider (took me minutes on-line) and made those arrangementsAll HWA did was shift the responsibility to me to find a provider, and arrange all of the logistics to get this unit fixed, despite HWA having sent two of their own certified providers? Who runs a business like this? I have made those arrangements and will work the process, but I will not consider the claim resolved until the refrigerator is repaired and paid for under my HWA homeowners warranty Additionally, I inquired about my open claim on my microwave oven, which claim was processed the same day as my refrigerator claim (July 5, 2016) which is supposedly in the hands of the "options" department for final determination on resolution? It's a microwave, it's broken, two technicians confirmed it - really, what else is needed? Sincerely, Richard [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: [redacted] diagnosed the problem as being a faulty dryer heating element and replaced the element The dryer shuts off when running for about minutes I have captured a video of the faulty dryer to preserve as evidence [redacted] responded today that he notified HWA that the dryer was still not drying properly and that HWA were not dispatching any more technicians.Due to the length of time and many attempts, I have ordered a new dryer I am sending a certified letter in good faith for HWA as a last measure to resolve this issue, pursuant to filing suit in Harris County Precinct 4, per Section VIIIAof the contract Relief requested is to refund the $service fee, the $service fee that I was charged by a sales rep "to get a energy efficient dryer in case I needed a new one", and $to cover the cost of the new dryer that I placed on order from ***.My wife is weeks pregnant and cannot do laundry Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:Bottom line is that more than just the prior vendor stated the compressor needed replacement. Prior vendors left work order sheets behind and none stated the coil was the primary issue. The compressor replacement was approved and the $610 was for non-covered expenses (e.g. refrigerant, [redacted] components/upgrades, the correct coil for the [redacted] upgrade). The current vendor didn't even turn the compressor on during his inspection so there is no validation of whether it is working or not. But according to the vendor and HWA reps, replacing the compressor unit would be at 100% out-of-pocket for us (as opposed to just paying the portion of non-covered charges as previously approved).We have been long-time HWA customers and have always appreciated their service. Imagine the frustration now of having a claim open for nearly 11 months and having to go through five different vendors for reasons that were never explained to us. Sincerely, [redacted]
