I am rejecting this response because: *** *** has yet to respond to my questions His "broken record" attempt to deal with the situation by blaming *** for the decision-making process is erroneous, based on information received from *** *** My husband has been and continues to deal with *** *** per *** instructions It is *** *** that stated in claims more than $1.000.00, they must get approval and in this case she sought approval/denial from Sears Home Improvement Per *** ***, we may not contact them, which is why we reached out to the Revdex.com and Sears Holding *** *** has not addressed the following: His meeting w/ *** ***, and other Sears employees including an HVAC expert (of sorts) after I filed the first Revdex.com claim and after stating that they had the sole choice to approve or deny the claim If this is the truth (and *** *** disputes this), then why the meeting? How can they be a "neutral third party" and unbiased if you are meeting with them and only after the Revdex.com complaint was filed? This has been going on for over a year! Sears Home Improvement's denial of the claim based on replacement of a thermostat when, in fact, we did not have a thermostat replaced The only item replaced was the blown Logic Panel and we have invited *** *** to speak with the contractor that did the work Until *** *** addresses these questions and refunds the money for replacement of the Logic Panel, I will continue to reject his responses and request that the case remain open

April 28, *** *** Revdex.com North Wabash Ave, Ste#Chicago, IL Re: *** *** - # *** Dear Ms***: We have completed the investigation of Mr*** complaint regarding Sears Duct CleaningUpon receiving Mr
*** complaint, we contacted the local office for assistance. *** Trentham responded that his technicians went to Mr*** home to clean the air ducts and seal the air handler. The technicians did not clean his dryer vent because the dryer vent tube does not exit the home; it stops about one foot short in the wall. While Mr*** states that the technicians damaged his dryer vent, it is impossible for the technicians to reach the vent or cause the vent to be too short. Furthermore, there is a birdcage on the outside wall with stucco around it that obscures the vent opening; a human arm cannot even fit through the aperture. At this time the only offer on the table is for the technicians to return to Mr*** home to check the seal around the air handlerSeveral messages have been left for Mr*** and an email was sent requesting a call back; however, Mr*** has not returned any calls to date. Again, the local office is only willing to check the seal around the air handler, no other remuneration will be offered to Mr***. If he would like to schedule an appointment, he will need to call the local office. In the interim, since we have documented Mr*** concerns and explained why his request will not be honored, we ask to have this matter closed. We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

March 30, *** *** Revdex.com North Wabash Ave., Ste#Chicago, IL *** *** *** ** *** *** *** *** We have completed the investigation of *** *** complaint regarding his inability to purchase a
freezer on our website due to unavailability for this product in his area As clarification, our website sells items for all of our states and items might be shown on our website that are in stock in one state that are not in stock in another state. This is because most large items that we sell ship out of regional warehouses. Once that region is out of stock on an item, it is not available in that area. While we sometimes do large-scale transfers between warehouses when needed, we are not able to transfer merchandise out to fulfill a sale on an individual basisAdditionally, our call agents do not have the capability to search via all existing zip codes to determine what areas might still have the item availableOnce all warehouses have depleted their stock then we do have a team behind the scenes that removes the item from our websiteThe freezer in question is no longer for sale by Sears or Kmart on the site now so inventory was finally depleted in the remaining areas While we can understand *** *** frustration, at this time the reality remains that the item he was interested in was not available in his regional area. Our website rightly noted that the item was not available in *** *** area when he put his zip code in Even if there had been an error and the order had been processed in error, we would not have been obligated to provide that item or a substitution according to the Term of Service, including our disclaimer, noted on our site In case *** *** may not have been familiar with our disclaimer, even though any access of our site is considered an acceptance of our terms of use, we have included below the portion that was pertinent to this situation: ““IN ADDITION, WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE INFORMATION AND CONTENT ACCESSIBLE VIA THE SEARS SITE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN OR FOR ANY ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR RELIANCE ON ANY ASPECT OF THE SEARS SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO USER CONTENT AND ALL OTHER CONTENT, SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND OTHER INFORMATION AND MATERIALS CONTAINED IN OR DESCRIBED ON THE SEARS SITEFURTHER, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES THAT THE SEARS SITE OR THE USER CONTENT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTSNO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY ANY USER FROM US OR THE SEARS SITE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN … In the event of a pricing error on the Sears Site, Sears reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such pricing errors.” *** *** spoke with *** from our Executive Office and he informed her that he wanted for us to substitute a like item for the same price, but we are not obligated to do so according to the Terms of Service noted aboveAs a courtesy, *** offered to provide *** *** with a 20% discount off of a different item, but he declined In closure, we apologize to *** *** and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

May 12, *** *** Revdex.com North Wabash Ave., Ste#Chicago, IL Re: *** *** - # *** Dear Ms***: We have completed the investigation of Ms***’ complaint regarding her cooktopUpon researching Ms***’ complaint, we reviewed
the notes in her service orders. A review of the notes in her service orders shows that the technicians and Sears Technical Assistance Center (STAC) determined that the damage to her cooktop was a result of impact. Due to these findings, Ms*** was denied a replacement cooktop under her Master Protection Agreement (MPA). Below is an excerpt from the MPA pertaining to her situation: “LIMITATIONS OF COVERAGE THAT APPLIES TO ALL PLANSTHIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT COVERcRepair of any Covered Product which is damaged or malfunctioning due to causes beyond our control including, but not limited to, repairs necessitated by operator or owner negligence such as the failure to maintain the product according to the owner's manual instructions, improper installation, CRT-based or Plasma television burn-in, accidental damage, abuse, misuse, vandalism, theft, mold, mildew, rust or corrosion, animal or insect infestation, damage caused by lightning and other acts of nature such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc.” Furthermore, contrary to Ms***’ statement that Sears blamed her to avoid having to replace the range because the cooktop is no longer available; the part, ***, is readily available from the manufacturer and through Sears Parts DirectFurthermore, Sears would not fabricate their findings to avoid replacing a covered product Ms*** is fortunate that her home warranty replaced the cooktop, as it did not fail due to a manufacturer’s defect, but rather sustained accidental damageAs to Ms***’ request for a full refund; this request is denied. Our records show that she canceled the MPA on January 18, 2016, and received a pro-rated refund of $148.74, only $was deducted from the refund. The refund given was in accordance with the terms of the MPA; after a covered product’s manufacturer’s warranty expires or if more than days have lapsed since the agreement was purchased, a refund is issued based upon the remaining months of coverage See below: “If this Agreement is cancelled by you or us: During any time within the full manufacturer’s warranty period (parts & labor) you will receive a 100% refund of the total price paid for this AgreementDuring the first sixty (60) days of the term you will receive a 100% refund of the total price paid for this AgreementAfter the first sixty (60) days of the term or after the expiration of the full manufacturer’s warranty for the Covered Product (whichever occurs last), excluding warranties covering component parts of the Covered Product, we will refund the total price allocable to the remainder of the Term of this Agreement prorated on a monthly basis.” With that said, since we have explained why we are unable to honor Ms***’ request, we ask that this matter be closedWe appreciate the opportunity to address this matterSincerely, *** *** Regulatory Complaints Specialist

Complaint:
I am rejecting this response because: It appears to be a very insincere attempt at an apology and there is no indication of acknowledging the fact that the refund took months! It was months of being lied to by customer service every time I called, months of being told it was on the way, months of being told I had already received the refund and to go check my credit card company A very glib response that shows they truly do not care about the complaint as they are a big company and it will not make a great difference to them if I return or not

We would first like to clarify that the bill in question is not from a service from 2013; instead it is from a service call visit on August 31, 2015, completed on September 1, At that time the technician installed a part valued at $and collected just the labor of $When the technician closed out the ticket, he showed the labor collected, but he did not transfer the cost of the part to the manufacturerThis meant that when the call was audited at a later time, it appeared that *** *** owed for the cost of the part when in fact she has a year exceptional parts warranty on her water heater that covers both the tank and any parts for years, but does not cover labor costsWe contacted our billing department and her account has now been updated to reflect that no monies are dueWe would also note that our collection division does not report to any of the three major credit reporting agencies, so this bill would not have had any effect on *** *** credit reportWith that said, since she should not receive any correspondence related to this debt dated after today, and if she does she is welcome to contact me via email or phone for further assistance, we have closed our file We apologize to *** *** and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

We have completed the investigation of *** complaint regarding the multiple repairs of her dryer
Upon receiving *** complaint, we reviewed her service history and can understand why she was frustrated with her experienceUnfortunately, we do have times where the repair that was completed does not resolve all of the issues that might have been presentThis is usually not discovered until the customer has a chance to let the item run for awhileRegrettably, we do have to balance the amount of time spent at one location versus the other customers who have also been scheduled for service and this means that it is not always possible for our technicians to spend an extended amount of time at one locationWe understand that this can be frustrating when a customer has an atypical situation like***, and we are pursuing solutions that will provide better options for our customers when these issues occurWith that being said, we escalated *** concerns to ***, Operations Supervisor, who has spoken with *** and agreed to replace her dryer under its Master Protection Agreement*** has been given *** cell phone number should she have any further issuesBecause we are in the process of replacing *** dryer per her request, we respectfully request this complaint be closed

March 30, *** *** Revdex.com North Wabash Ave., Ste#Chicago, IL *** *** *** ** *** *** *** *** We have completed the investigation of *** *** complaint regarding his inability to purchase a
freezer on our website due to unavailability for this product in his area As clarification, our website sells items for all of our states and items might be shown on our website that are in stock in one state that are not in stock in another state. This is because most large items that we sell ship out of regional warehouses. Once that region is out of stock on an item, it is not available in that area. While we sometimes do large-scale transfers between warehouses when needed, we are not able to transfer merchandise out to fulfill a sale on an individual basisAdditionally, our call agents do not have the capability to search via all existing zip codes to determine what areas might still have the item availableOnce all warehouses have depleted their stock then we do have a team behind the scenes that removes the item from our websiteThe freezer in question is no longer for sale by Sears or Kmart on the site now so inventory was finally depleted in the remaining areas While we can understand *** *** frustration, at this time the reality remains that the item he was interested in was not available in his regional area. Our website rightly noted that the item was not available in *** *** area when he put his zip code in Even if there had been an error and the order had been processed in error, we would not have been obligated to provide that item or a substitution according to the Term of Service, including our disclaimer, noted on our site In case *** *** may not have been familiar with our disclaimer, even though any access of our site is considered an acceptance of our terms of use, we have included below the portion that was pertinent to this situation: ““IN ADDITION, WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE INFORMATION AND CONTENT ACCESSIBLE VIA THE SEARS SITE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN OR FOR ANY ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR RELIANCE ON ANY ASPECT OF THE SEARS SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO USER CONTENT AND ALL OTHER CONTENT, SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND OTHER INFORMATION AND MATERIALS CONTAINED IN OR DESCRIBED ON THE SEARS SITEFURTHER, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES THAT THE SEARS SITE OR THE USER CONTENT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTSNO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY ANY USER FROM US OR THE SEARS SITE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN … In the event of a pricing error on the Sears Site, Sears reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such pricing errors.” *** *** spoke with *** from our Executive Office and he informed her that he wanted for us to substitute a like item for the same price, but we are not obligated to do so according to the Terms of Service noted aboveAs a courtesy, *** offered to provide *** *** with a 20% discount off of a different item, but he declined In closure, we apologize to *** *** and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

May 12, *** *** Revdex.com North Wabash Ave., Ste#Chicago, IL Re: *** *** - # *** Dear Ms***: We have completed the investigation of Ms***’ complaint regarding her cooktopUpon researching Ms***’ complaint, we reviewed
the notes in her service orders. A review of the notes in her service orders shows that the technicians and Sears Technical Assistance Center (STAC) determined that the damage to her cooktop was a result of impact. Due to these findings, Ms*** was denied a replacement cooktop under her Master Protection Agreement (MPA). Below is an excerpt from the MPA pertaining to her situation: “LIMITATIONS OF COVERAGE THAT APPLIES TO ALL PLANSTHIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT COVERcRepair of any Covered Product which is damaged or malfunctioning due to causes beyond our control including, but not limited to, repairs necessitated by operator or owner negligence such as the failure to maintain the product according to the owner's manual instructions, improper installation, CRT-based or Plasma television burn-in, accidental damage, abuse, misuse, vandalism, theft, mold, mildew, rust or corrosion, animal or insect infestation, damage caused by lightning and other acts of nature such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc.” Furthermore, contrary to Ms***’ statement that Sears blamed her to avoid having to replace the range because the cooktop is no longer available; the part, ***, is readily available from the manufacturer and through Sears Parts DirectFurthermore, Sears would not fabricate their findings to avoid replacing a covered product Ms*** is fortunate that her home warranty replaced the cooktop, as it did not fail due to a manufacturer’s defect, but rather sustained accidental damageAs to Ms***’ request for a full refund; this request is denied. Our records show that she canceled the MPA on January 18, 2016, and received a pro-rated refund of $148.74, only $was deducted from the refund. The refund given was in accordance with the terms of the MPA; after a covered product’s manufacturer’s warranty expires or if more than days have lapsed since the agreement was purchased, a refund is issued based upon the remaining months of coverage See below: “If this Agreement is cancelled by you or us: During any time within the full manufacturer’s warranty period (parts & labor) you will receive a 100% refund of the total price paid for this AgreementDuring the first sixty (60) days of the term you will receive a 100% refund of the total price paid for this AgreementAfter the first sixty (60) days of the term or after the expiration of the full manufacturer’s warranty for the Covered Product (whichever occurs last), excluding warranties covering component parts of the Covered Product, we will refund the total price allocable to the remainder of the Term of this Agreement prorated on a monthly basis.” With that said, since we have explained why we are unable to honor Ms***’ request, we ask that this matter be closedWe appreciate the opportunity to address this matterSincerely, *** *** Regulatory Complaints Specialist

Complaint:
I am rejecting this response because: It appears to be a very insincere attempt at an apology and there is no indication of acknowledging the fact that the refund took months! It was months of being lied to by customer service every time I called, months of being told it was on the way, months of being told I had already received the refund and to go check my credit card company A very glib response that shows they truly do not care about the complaint as they are a big company and it will not make a great difference to them if I return or not
Sincerely,
