Dear Ms. [redacted],
Regarding the service request for pool heater and pool equipment water leak; on behalf of Old Republic Home Protection (ORHP) and its employees, please extend our sincere...

apologies for the circumstances outlined in Mr. [redacted]'s letter.
ORHP, like other home warranty companies, uses Independent Network Service Providers to service our Plan Holders. Although efforts are made to dispatch qualified Service Providers that can provide quality service, occasionally circumstances occur that are unacceptable to ORHP and our Plan Holder.
I assure you, ORHP employees value the trust each of our Plan Holders place in us to resolve their service request in a timely and professional manner and when this does not occur, steps are taken to review what went wrong and implement improvement.
Based on the information you provided, I have taken personal responsibility to address the issues outlined with the Service Provider and individuals involved, ensuring they understand the result of their actions and comments.
I have spoken with both Plan Holders, Mr. [redacted] and Mr. [redacted], and they have agree to pay the Trade Call Fee for the service request placed January 17th, 2014 for the pool equipment water leak.
In addition, ORHP has agreed as a matter of goodwill, to honor Mr. [redacted]'s request to reimburse the Trade Call Fee for the service request placed February 24th, 2014 for the pool heater, and we will apply the reimbursement to the Trade Call Fee due for the service in January.
ORHP appreciates Mr. [redacted] taking the time to provide his opinion and perspective of his service experience, which in turn, provides ORHP the opportunity to improve the service we provide to our customers.
Best regards,

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)

If I can give zero review for customer service and efficiency, I would give this company a (-0) negative zero. I called on 10/08/2016 at 8:30 pm for an emergent situation. My bathroom water faucet wouldn't turn off. I thought if I called as an emergency, someone would show up ASAP. Apparently not. Their emergent situation is considered as within 24 hours. Why did I call for an emergency help if I am not going to get an emergency help. The agent told me that an emergency situation is considered having a respond within 24 hours. Do not purchase this home warranty. You are wasting your money. Luckily, my contract will end on October 30, 2016. I did not renew. I purchased a home warranty from another company. OLD REPUBLIC HOME PROTECTION IS A RIPOFF COMPANY. TO ALL CONSUMERS, DO NOT PURCHASE A HOME WARRANTY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!! TO ALL REALTORS, DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO YOUR CLIENTS!!!!
Two days later, the company has not sent anyone to fix my water faucet that wouldn't turn off. I have turn off my main line to save water. We do not have a running water in our house at this time.

As far as my reimbursement goes, Old Republic is going to deduct the service call fee from what they are sending me. I did the work for them. I called the contractor myself and had them come inspect the work. It doesnt matter. I understand this policy has been paid for one year. We will see how many more calls I will have to deal with myself when I paid for this service. I hope Old Republic values that 60 dollars they are keeping from me for for doing their job. I know the fee is for the techs call out and I also know Old Republic doesnt care about anything but money. It is a business but there is no sympathy for the customer.

Regarding the service request for the air conditioner; please extend our sincere apologies that we were unable to provide Mr. [redacted] a network Service Provider to service his air conditioner. I reviewed the file and confirmed that Old Republic Home Protection was able to assist Mr. [redacted], and reimburse him $1,790 for the covered repair. Considering his Plan Fee was $685, Mr. [redacted] greatly benefited by having a Home Protection Plan on his home, and he still has ten months remaining on his Plan coverage, should he require service in the future.

We are in...

Re: Plan XXXXXXXX
Dear Ms. [redacted],
Regarding the denial of coverage for the oven, and payment of the Trade Call Fee (TCF); I have reviewed the file that indicates that the Plan Holder informed us that the...

control board for the oven was defective prior to the effective date of the Plan, and their attempted repair of the control board failed to correct the malfunction.
With regard to payment of the TCF; the TCF is due whether the service is covered or denied.
Please refer to page 7 of the Plan that states:
"We will provide service for covered systems or appliances which malfunction, and are reported,
during the term of the Plan that:
B) Were correctly installed and working properly on the effective date of the Plan, and
C) Have become inoperable due to normal wear and use, rust, corrosion, and chemical or
sediment build-up after the effective date of coverage. Pre-existing conditions are not
covered."
"You are responsible to pay a TRADE (SERVICE) CALL FEE (TCF) when the Service Provider
arrives at your home. The TCF (or the actual cost of service, whichever is less) is due for each dispatched service request by trade (plumbing, electrical, appliance, heating/air conditioning, etc.). Service work is guaranteed for 30 days. The TCF is due whether service is covered or denied. Essentially, when we incur a cost of service, you are responsible for a TCF."
Please extend our sincere apology to Mr. [redacted] that the terms and conditions of the Plan did not provide coverage in this situation. While the intent of Old Republic Home Protection is to provide as much coverage as possible, the Plan is not all inclusive and there are limitations which are standard in the home warranty industry.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
That is absolutely not true. The control board failed AFTER the effective date of the plan. We attempted to have it fixed at our expense knowing that dealing with the warranty company would make me want to shoot myself. When the initial repair did not completely resolve the issue, we filed a claim with the warranty company. They knew full well the failure came during plan coverage, and denied the claim due to our intial attempt to fix it. That's a completely ridiculous loophole, as it was to their benefit that I tried to resolve the issue without filing a claim. I'm an honest person, and I would not "nickel and dime" a warranty company, my feeling was that it was for bigger issues. My wife and I actually discussed prior to calling a repair company, we'll just pay this out of pocket, and if for some reason that doesnt' fix it, we'll file a claim with the warranty company.
Further, this company has TERRIBLE reviews online. Google them. Yelp, consumeraffairs.com, etc. Check out their Facebook page, which gets multiple complaints per day. They leave some of the, but who knows how many they delete. They deleted my complaint and blocked me from posting on their page. How honest is that? This company is a bunch of scammers. They ahve it rigged so they take your money and never pay out. THe Revdex.com should not allow this.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/03/18) */
Dear Ms. [redacted],
Regarding the service request for the oven; I reviewed the file and agree that we were made aware, after our Service Provider arrived at the home, that the Plan Holder had hired an Out-Of-Network Contractor (OONC) to repair the oven; either the repair was done improperly or was misdiagnosed by their OONC. Since it would be impossible to determine the original cause of failure after they had their own OONC attempt repair, coverage is denied. I suggest they address the failure of the oven with the company they hired; I believe most appliance companies will guarantee their repair for a minimum of 30 days.
In addition, the file indicates that the Plan was cancelled by Mr. [redacted]'s Realtor on March 10, 2015, and they have chosen a different home warranty provider for their home. Maybe they will agree to address the failure, even though one of their network Servcie Providers did not attempt the recent repair.

[redacted]

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
More lies and denials. If it failed during coverage, it doesn't matter what the original cause of failure was, it failed and it should be covered. Again, my attempt to repair by paying myself was only to their benefit as they [redacted] have avoided a claim altogether.
They are pros at scamming people, you can tell they have their process all worked out.
It's wrong.
And you're [redacted] right I cancelled that plan and moved to a different company. And I'm going to do everythign in my power to make sure the entire Real Estate agency changes providers. The only way they will change is if it becomes more costly to deny a valid claim than to pay it like they should.

Dear [redacted],
 
According to the file, the repair was scheduled for completion on September 13, 2016. My associate, [redacted], left a message for [redacted] on September 15, 2016, to confirm the equipment is operating as designed, but has not received a return call.
 
If [redacted] still requires service, please advise him to contact [redacted] at [redacted] for assistance.
 
Please extend our sincere apologies to [redacted] for the circumstances related in his letter. I assure you, this service request will be addressed with all of the individuals involved.

They hire incompetent service people1 you are better off just getting it repaired on your own. I am also disturbed that Revdex.com gives it an A+ rating despite numerous complaints. The HVAC that they sent out had an A rating despite having 5 complaints issued in a years time. What does it take to lower your rating??

This company is terrible!!!

I called, and called and called only to be disrespected and they never resolved the leak in my master bath room shower. I would get different information each time I called, they could never give me a straight answer and I actually felt like they tried to "fast talk" me off the phone so they wouldn't have to pay for my leaking shower. I would never renew my warranty with this company. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!

I filed a repair request for my ice maker and the request is being served for last 3 months with no result. Upon contacting customer service, they are telling it is as expected and it may take 3-4 more months based on the problem. It is just frustrating to keep going back and forth for the same issue with no resolution and no support from customer service. When I said this service is unacceptable and I should move to another warranty company, they welcomed my thought and said it will be another process. It seems they are so arrogant and do not even need business. It seems they are just passing time with repeat attempts for repair to reach end of service time to demand more money or deny service.

circumstances outlined in Mr. [redacted]' letter.
I assure you, ORHP employees value the trust each of our Plan Holders place in us to resolve their service request in a timely and professional manner and when this does not occur, steps are taken to review what went wrong and implement improvement.
Based on the information you provided, I have taken personal responsibility to address the issues outlined with the individuals involved, ensuring they understand the result of their actions and comments.
According to the file, J & S Mechanical Contractors diagnosed that the cause of the leak was the tub spout diverter in the guest bathroom.
Please refer to page 3 of the Plan under Plumbing Coverage that states:
"Not Covered: ... tub spout or tub spout diverter ... "
With regard to the secondary water damage; please refer to page 8 of the Plan titled Limitations of Liability 4.D. that states:
"We do not pay, nor are we liable, for secondary or consequential loss or damage;
personal or property loss or damage; or bodily injury of any kind."
We apologize the terms and conditions of the Plan do not provide coverage in this situation. While the intent of ORHP is to provide as much coverage as possible, the Plan is not all inclusive and there are limitations which are standard in the home warranty industry.
As for mailing the Plan to Mr. [redacted]; I reviewed the file that indicates a copy of the Declaration sheet and Plan was mailed to Mr. [redacted] on July 22nd, 2014 to his home address.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2014/08/19) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
In a conversation that started at 4:17 PM ET on 8/18/14, Mr. [redacted] indicated that they would be refunding the trade cost as well as the full premium amount with the cancellation of the policy. This was verbally by phone after speaking with a verbally abusive and condescending Authorizations Supervisor by the name of Chris in response to my Revdex.com complaint which started at 12:24 PM ET on the same date.
[redacted] stated that the trade fee was Mr. [redacted]'s only initially concession, but upon talking to Mr. [redacted] he distanced himself from any personal responsibility as indicated herein. I can provide a recording of that conversation as I advised Mr. [redacted] that the call was being recorded.
During the four hours before asking [redacted] to speak with Mr. [redacted] and my call being returned, I had left messages for various management individuals at the company, including the COO and President. Upon mentioning this to Mr. [redacted] halfway through the call, he quickly stated that he was also calling back on their behalf, only after I had mentioned their names.
I want Mr. [redacted] to honor what was promised verbally, which I have recorded, and also acknowledge that the form letter response provided is not an accurate depiction of the events as they unfolded with his company. I was disrespected in the initial call back.
Further the issues stemmed from other verbal assurances in absence of a paper copy of the warranty, which I did receive the copy of that I had to request, yesterday. It is also interesting to note that Mr. [redacted] is able to determine dates when the original policy was mailed out when the agent I spoke with had no reference of that as well as record of when I requested it personally although their systems do not show who I spoke with.
Based on the denial of a conversation that happened, I believe Mr. [redacted] and his company must also honor the statements of their employees and repair the items, including secondary damage, as discussed as this coupled with my recording proves a pattern of promising customers one thing and turning around and denying that conversation every occurred.
Mr. [redacted]'s direction to contact them by phone intrigues me as the Authorization Supervisor referenced earlier also directed me that ORHP wanted any further communication to come through the Revdex.com as they were not going to discuss the matter any further. This is yet another instance where one thing is said, but another is carried out.
Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2014/08/22) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Mr. [redacted] acknowledged the refunds, but failed to provide any background on the differences between his original statement and the admission that they are providing the stated refunds.
This problem is what led to the complaint, when caught in a lie or contradiction, unless there is a recording of the conversation or definite proof, ORHP denies any wrong doing.
I am requesting that they review all recordings for any of the conversations in question in addition to fully answering the points in the last rebuttal which are unanswered.
Further they are again stating I can contact them via phone without resolving the fact that one of their supervisors stated specifically that Mr. [redacted]'s instructions were to go through the Revdex.com with any further questions and that they would not answer them.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 15, 2014/09/03) */
Ms. [redacted],
Regarding Mr. [redacted] request for a review of telephone conversations; calls are randomly monitored for quality assurance purposes only, and are retained for approximately 60 days. There are no records of telephone calls with Mr. [redacted] being recorded.
With regard to the refund of the Trade call fee; I have confirmed the check was mailed to Mr. [redacted] on August 27th, 2014; check number XXXXXX.
As mentioned in previous responses; we sincerely apologize if there was a miscommunication of coverage, and that Mr. [redacted] was under the impression coverage would apply for his service request.

Regarding the denial of coverage for the garbage disposal; I have reviewed the file, and the technician from BK Plumbing, the independent network Service Provider...

dispatched by Old Republic Home Protection (ORHP), diagnosed and found the garbage disposal failed as the result of a foreign object (a marble) being stuck in the blades of the garbage disposal, and it did not fail as the result of normal wear and use.
Please refer to page 7 of the Plan titled When You Need Us that states:
"We will provide service for covered systems or appliances which malfunction during the term of
the Plan that:

C) Have become inoperable due to normal wear and use, rust, corrosion, and chemical or
sediment build-up after the effective date of coverage. Pre-existing conditions are not
covered."
According to the file, my associate, Ms. [redacted] has spoken with Mr. [redacted] and she agreed, strictly as a matter of goodwill, to waive the $60 Trade Call Fee.
If Mr. [redacted] has any questions, please inform him to contact us at XXX-XXX-XXXX for assistance.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
Claims Manager
Old Republic Home Protection
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2014/05/06) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The article Mr. [redacted] provides was not what was sold to me. I was presented by the realtor with a one sheet breakdown that did not list the above material. We also never received anything that had a page 7 to it regardless. Furthermore, there appears to be missing info since they only chose to copy and paste clause (C).
This was not the intent of the insurance as it was explained to me and it is not sold in this way. It is their duty to properly train their sales staff( i.e. the realtors who offer this service). The way it was sold to me was in case ANYTHING happens to the appliances we chose to cover, that they would be fixed/replaced.
In addition, the marble that was found as the reason the disposal did not work. The previous owners had kids, however we do not. Are we supposed to be afraid of what else the kids could have done to other appliances due to the way this contract is worded?
I am not going to waste anymore of my time on this as the company has done this to MANY other people and are TRASHED on yelp.com.
For the price of 527 dollars(the price of the disposal fix), Old Republic could have bought a lifetime evangelical. Instead their handling of this situation has bought them a lifetime of me telling everyone I know to stay far away from the company. I hope it was worth every penny.

I am so disappointed in Old Republic. They sent an incompetent Heat repair company called [redacted]l and he missed the reason. and my tenant had to go through the coldest days in this city with no heat. Only to be talked down to . I had to call my repairman to go and he found the real reason for the problem. A bad mother board. The company is less than honest and very rude with some of their people. Not all. One person tried to help me and apologized but she was the only one. I am canceling and since I just paid my yearly premium they are probably not going to refund. Live and learn
