We are in receipt of the complaint filed by [redacted] and regret to learn of his dissatisfaction [redacted] ***’s assertion HomeServe’s intent “is to prey on unsuspecting and naïve homeowner[s] (new homeowners, the elderly)” is wholly without merit HomeServe is a leading provider of home repair solutions with operations in states and has been serving customers in North America since In fact, over the past three years, HomeServe has provided over $million in services to its customers, representing 1,000,service jobs across North America, including CanadaHomeServe’s customers hold over million service contracts, and HomeServe has a 99% customer satisfaction rating among customers surveyed after using our repair servicesHomeServe is accredited with the Connecticut Revdex.com and has an “A+” rating Importantly, HomeServe does not target recipients of our mailers on the basis of age, race, creed, or any other discriminatory factorHomeServe utilizes standard direct-marketing methodologies to periodically send mailers, like the one received by [redacted] ***, to residential addresses to inform homeowners of optional home service contracts available in their areaThe mailers are not intended to alarm potential customers, but to inform them about services that have been an enormous help for over a million homeowners, including those in the state of [redacted] We encourage homeowners to read the information in our mailers carefully and consider the benefits before purchasing our optional service contracts Further, in his complain [redacted] referenced our mailers ‘appear official and very easy to be misconstrued as a mandatory service rather than an optional one”Notably, our mailer prominently displayed on the front page in point font that “We have found that the heating system in your home is not covered with a PremierHeat plan from HomeServe” and the word optional appears in mentioned several times in point font in our mailer as well HomeServe is part of an emerging service industry that allows homeowners to purchase service contracts protecting against heating emergencies at their homesResponsibility for repairing the heating system typically rests with homeowners, not with the local utility or government, and basic homeowners insurance typically does not cover the costs of repairing damaged heating system componentsThe optional Premier Heat Plan product offers homeowners protection from the costs associated with the repair or replacement of the gas powered heating system providing heat to their residence Per his request, we have added [redacted] ***, to our internal “Do Not Mail” listWe ask that he please allow up to 4-weeks for the requests to be implementedIn the meantime, he may continue to receive pre-scheduled mailings while our system updates We trust that this response provides [redacted] with more clarity regarding our mailers and services, and thank you for the opportunity to respond

Even with the existence of a known break in a sewer line, Homeserve contractors cannot fix it without creating a backup into the basement Utterly ridiculous and stupid Why create a health hazard in order to prove a known quantity? It is a ruse to get people to use their coverage while Homeserve can give customers the runaround while using up coverage on service calls that accomplish nothing

We are in receipt of the complaint filed By Ms [redacted] and regret to learn of her dissatisfaction HomeServe received Ms [redacted] ’s signed postal enrollment form for Exterior Water Service Line coverage (the “Contract”) on 7/17/along with a check in the amount of $59.98, representing the yearly price of the ContractOn the enrollment form, a copy of which is attached, Ms [redacted] selected the “EZ-PAY” billing option which provides the following: “I authorize HomeServe to charge my account for Water Service Line Coverage at the frequency specified above and my financial institution to debit these payments from the account providedI understand that, regardless of the payment frequency I select, my coverage is based on an annual contract and will be renewed annually on the same payment terms selected at the then current renewal price.” On 6/24/2015, HomeServe mailed a renewal notice to Ms [redacted] , notifying her that the Contract would automatically renew on 7/24/at the then current contract price, $The renewal notice also provided a toll-free number Ms [redacted] could use to cancel the Contract in advance of its renewalOn 7/24/2015, HomeServe unsuccessfully attempted to process Ms [redacted] ’s $payment; however, the payment was rejected by her bank In response to this complaint, a member of our Customer Advocacy Team (“CAT”) unsuccessfully reached out to Ms [redacted] on 8/24/to provide clarificationWhile we are disappointed to lose a valued customer, per her request, we have cancelled the Contract effective 8/24/Because no payment was received for the coverage term beginning on 7/24/2015, Ms [redacted] is not due a refund We trust this response satisfactorily resolves this matter and thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond

Prior to this experience, I have never had to use my HomeServe contract for an emergency repairMy furnace went out on a night when temperatures were reaching freezing and I called right after work (6PM) to have a technician come out HomeServe said to wait up to 4hrs for someone to arrive After waiting the 4hrs (now 10PM), I called HomeServe to find that the third-party technician had declined the call and no bahad been contacted They said to give them 1hr to resolve the situation After 1hr (now 11PM), I called again and was told that I would have to wait another 4hrs as they were having trouble locating a technician My house was now below 60deg inside I told them to cancel the call because this was unacceptable and was able to find a local person on my own to assist us within 5min of hanging up with HomeServe The manager who called the next day told me they may be able to reimbursement me, but didn't know how much they could/would cover and they would need an abnormally large amount of documentation to support the service I have since given up Overall, my first emergency call experience was below satisfactory and I would never recommend HomeServe I am considering what my options are going forward regarding this experience

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me However, there were some mistakes in their response The complaint was due to them charging MY credit card for MY insurance policy that was cancelled, not [redacted] ***'sI have a house at [redacted] that the complaint was revolving around They charged my credit card even though the service was cancelled long before I called to discuss it and I see that they have reversed the charged on MY credit card, so it seems the matter has been resolved But this had nothing to do with [redacted] ***'s account Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Home Serve refused to divulge how many contractors they have in our area and how many were contracted to accept the job during the 9=hour time frame that they delayed in getting a worker to my home I will repeat my position that when I first HomeServe about the sewer back up, the water in my basement was a puddle about inches in diameterIn four hours, it was inch deep and the water was all around my basementNobody at HomeServe ever mentioned that it may take up to 48hrs for someone to come to the houseHad I known that "fast and reliable service means hours and my basement potentially in feet of sewer water by the time a "same day appointment " was fulfilled, I would have called a plumber myself and handled the problem earlier than even the four hours that HomeServe initially told me to wait for someone to call The burden is on HomeServe to prove that they have contracts with enough contractors in the area to handle emergency callers and to show that they did their best to get help to me, considering that I told them over and over how fast the water was risingIf they could not get a contractor to accept the job to come to my house when the water was inches deep, why did they refuse my request to contact my own plumber and reimburse me for the work? Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: They attempted to reach me only once on 10/6/(a voice message was left) and I called and left a message on that person's voicemail to return my call which he never did His voicemail left a phone number to call which was not an number and was out of state which I would have had to pay for I called their number and was transferred to his line So you can add lying to their so called customer service It still does not answer the complaint that they offer a service and then do not have enough of a 'labor force' to fulfill that service in a timely manner Sincerely, [redacted]

Worthless money spentRefused to repair my waterline due to it broke when meter was removed by licensed plumberClaimed plumber caused the break when in actuality pipe is yrsold and would have broke if anyone tried to remove meterWas required to replace meter by [redacted] ***Was doing the right thing and got burnedNo reason to renew as they refuse to fix the problemSave your money
