[redacted] We have completed the investigation of [redacted] complaint regarding a tractor purchased from Sears. Sears has processed an in warranty...

exchange of [redacted] tractor. The new unit is scheduled to be delivered on Saturday, May 14, 2016. In the event that is not a convenient date, [redacted] can call our home delivery office at [redacted] and reschedule for a more convenient time. Since it is my understanding that Mr. [redacted] was satisfied with the actions taken by Sears to resolve his concerns, we ask that this complaint be closed. We apologize to Mr. [redacted] and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

10982883Dear Ms. [redacted]:We have completed the
investigation of Ms. [redacted]’ complaint regarding her microwave repair.First, we would like to
apologize to Ms. [redacted]...

for failing her expectations in regard to the repair of
her microwave.  We understand that she found
the situation frustrating, but in order for the technician to order the correct
parts, the model and serial number needs to be legible.  On December 8, 2015, the technician
re-examined Ms. [redacted]’ microwave and found that the tag, which was located in
the cooking cavity, had washed off.  He
could tell that the unit was not abused and was able to locate the model number
on file.  He subsequently replaced the
switch, completing the repair.  Sandra
McQuilkin with unit 8038 spoke with Ms. [redacted] after the repair and she
indicated she was satisfied. 
Accordingly, we ask that this matter be closed.Again, we apologize to
Ms. [redacted] and we appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.Sincerely,Melissa [redacted]Regulatory Complaints

[redacted]Dear Ms. [redacted]:We have completed the investigation of Mr. [redacted]’s
complaint regarding his inability to receive a quote for a price over the...

phone
for a repair on his tractor. We apologize if Mr. [redacted] found it frustrating, but we
do not provide estimates over-the-phone. This is because until we can have a
trained technician assess the item, we really cannot make a diagnosis and without
a diagnosis we cannot quote an approximate repair sum. It looks like Mr. [redacted]
scheduled a repair with us anyway, and ironically enough it appears that a new
engine was not diagnosed as the problem and instead some exhaust valve/gaskets
were loose and after these were replaced and/or tightened, the issue was
resolved. So if we had given Mr. [redacted] an estimate over the phone it would have
been incorrect, which is why we do not provide this service. Again, we apologize to Mr. [redacted] and appreciate the
opportunity to address this matter. 
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or
concerns.Sincerely,Dana [redacted]Team Manager, Regulatory ComplaintsDirect Line: [redacted]Email: Dana.[redacted]@searshc.com

Sears has still not provided any of the parts missing from the treadmill. Sears has also not explained why I received a refurbished treadmill when I purchased a new one.

Wabash Ave., Ste. #2006Chicago,
IL  60611Re:  #[redacted] –
[redacted]Dear Ms. [redacted]:We have completed the investigation of Ms. [redacted]’s
rebuttal to our previous responses.We apologize if we were not clear before, but the button
in question is not a reset button. It is just a button that forces the unit to
go into an ice making cycle and it is used for diagnostic purposes only.
Sometimes it is referred to as the “fill” button or the “test” button. That is
why the manufacturer, which is not Sears by the way, does not mention the
function. It does however mention the on/off switch. Many times turning
something off and on, generally referred to as “rebooting”, works as a reset;
so if the ice maker was already in the on position, and Ms. [redacted] states the
technician turned it off and on, then that would be what reset it. Again, he
would only have pushed the unseen button to test out the ice maker. If there
was something more wrong with the ice maker, such as a bad valve, etc…then
either the test function would not have produced a cycle, or it might have
cycled once when pushed but would not have continued cycling. Regardless
though, Ms. [redacted] contracted our services to diagnose what was wrong with the
ice maker in her refrigerator, and we did this as it is now working. We also understand that Ms. [redacted] has filed a credit
card dispute. She should be aware that the card issuer will usually provide a
conditional credit but if we supply a copy of a signed receipt where she agreed
to the charges, then generally the chargeback will be declined and the charge
will go back on the account. We just want her to be aware of this in the event
that the refund from her card issuer turns out to not be official and the
refund is removed. With that said, we remain willing to provide the offered
$65.00 refund and if Ms. [redacted] reconsiders she can contact me via email or
phone to provide her credit card information so that we can issue a credit of
$65.00 in the event her chargeback is not upheld. This offer will be open for
the next 90 days after which time it will become null and void. In the interim,
since we remain willing to provide the partial refund that was already offered
and declined by Ms. [redacted], we have closed our file.We appreciate the opportunity to address this
matter.  Please feel free to contact me
if you have any further questions or concerns.Sincerely,[redacted]Team Manager, Regulatory ComplaintsDirect Line: [redacted]Email: [redacted].[redacted]@searshc.com

April 14, 2016   [redacted] Revdex.com 330 North Wabash Ave., Ste. #2006 Chicago, IL  60611   [redacted]   [redacted]   We have completed the investigation of [redacted] rebuttal.   We have reviewed both our response and [redacted] rebuttal, and we do not find that she has brought any new information to her complaint.  While we understand that she was dissatisfied our reply the fact remains that we have no record of any offeres made to [redacted] other than the service promise listed in the terms and conditions of her Master Protection agreement clearly states the service promise on page five (5):   SERVICE PROMISE. In the event that we do not repair your Covered laundry, kitchen or HVAC Product on our first (1st) in-home repair attempt and you will be without the use of your Covered Product, we will provide you with a one time rental reimbursement or allowance up to $50 at our sole discretion. To file a claim go to [redacted].   Our records show that on February 25, 2016 an email was sent to [redacted] from our offline department emailed [redacted] the following email:   [redacted]   Thank you for contacting Sears Holdings Corporation.  We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to assist you with your recent experience. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us by replying to this email or via phone. Please see below for the results of our research.  Record Number:  [redacted] Phone Number:  [redacted] Research Request: Appointment Availability. Research Results: We apologize for the inconvenience caused. We would like to offer you $50.00 as service promised check/Laundry Reimbursement under service order [redacted] We request you to contact us after service completion for service promised check/Laundry Reimbursement.   Sincerely,   [redacted] Sears Member Services [redacted]   Sears does not compensate for missed work or any other situations other than what is stipulated in the Master Protection Agreement.   Since we have no records of any other offers made to [redacted] and since we have provided [redacted] the $50.00 service promise as is laid out under the terms and conditions of the Master Protection agreement and her washer is now in working order we have closed our case.   We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.     Sincerely,   [redacted] Regulatory Complaint Specialist Sears Holdings Corporation [redacted]

dissatisfaction with the shipping process and delivery timeframes.   We would first like to apologize for any inconvenience Mr. ** experienced. We can understand Mr. [redacted] frustration with the series of events detai**d in his complaint. Additionally, we can assure that his concerns have been forwarded to management for review so that future prob**ms of this nature can be averted. After researching the online order notes, we found that the product was ready for pickup on January 5, 2016.In addition, Sears Online Solutions issued a 10% adjustment on the order giving Mr. ** a refund of $39.71 to his [redacted] account and $0.19 was issued to his Shop Your Way Rewards account. We apologize again and hope Mr. ** will allow us another opportunity to provide him with a better examp** of customer service that we have built our reputation upon.  In the interim, we have noted Mr. [redacted] concerns and respectfully ask to have this matter closed.   We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.  P**ase feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.   Sincerely,  [redacted] Regulatory Complaint Specialist Sears Holdings Corporation

Way Reward points.   It is unfortunate if we failed Mr. [redacted]’s expectations as we value his patronage. We can assure that his concerns have been forwarded to management for review so that future problems of this nature can be averted. After researching the notes in his order we found that Mr. [redacted] initially paid with Shop Your Way Reward points. Therefore, the refund will be returned in the same form of payment. We can only apologize for any misinformation he may have received from Sears Online. We hope that in the future Mr. [redacted] will allow us another opportunity to provide him with a better example of customer service. Since we have confirmed that Mr. [redacted] received a full refund of his Shop Your Way Reward points, we respectfully ask to have this matter closed.   We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.   Sincerely,  Eligia [redacted] Regulatory Complaint Specialist Sears Holdings Corporation

April 12, 2016 [redacted] Revdex.com 330 North Wabash Ave., Ste. #2006 Chicago, IL 60611 [redacted] We have completed the investigation of [redacted] complaint regarding her dissatisfaction with the quality of the multiple refrigerators...

delivered and the delivery delay of the replacement unit. It is unfortunate that we failed [redacted]s expectations when she recently scheduled a refrigerator delivery. We value [redacted]s patronage, but can understand her frustration due to the series of events noted in her complaint. We would like to apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment that [redacted] may have experienced. We want to assure [redacted] that her complaint and feedback will give us the opportunity to remedy any problem that may exist and help to improve our service further. Upon receipt of [redacted] we reviewed the delivery order and case notes related to the refrigerator. According to the delivery notes, the rescheduled delivery date is due to a manufacturer delay. The manufacturer notified us that the refrigerator will not be delivered until April 20, 2016. As clarification, because of the large selection of the merchandise we sell, we don’t stock appliances in our warehouses. The product is shipped from the manufacturer to our warehouse on or the day before the promised delivery date and then we transport it to our customer. [redacted] mentioned that she did not have a working refrigerator, and our technician had ordered a part to complete the repair. Regrettably, the manufacturer also notified us that the part ordered was on back order until April 22, 2016. We contacted [redacted] and provided the following options: She could exchange for another model; return for a full refund; or wait for the delivery of the replacement. [redacted] agreed to wait for the delivery of the same model on April 20, 2016. We would also like to note that our Parts Research Team located the part from an alternate source and we completed the repair of the refrigerator on April 11, 2016. Therefore, [redacted] will have a working refrigerator until the delivery of the replacement refrigerator. As for food loss reimbursement, on March 14, 2016 we issued [redacted] a bank check for $300.00, which is the max allowable amount. With that being said, since our agreement with the Revdex.com restricts the length of time a complaint can remain open, we feel that keeping this case open during the interim is unwarranted. If [redacted] issue is not resolved to her satisfaction, she can reopen it later even if the Revdex.com has closed it as resolved. We respectfully ask to have this matter closed at this time. Again, we apologize to [redacted] and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

sooner than he expected.We apologize that Mr. [redacted]’s dishwasher failed to meet his expectations of longevity.  The reality exists that no matter how high the quality is on the items we sell, the potential always exists for a product to fail.  We also understand how frustrating this can be to a consumer, especially after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired and covered repairs are not an option.  It is for this reason that Sears, and most other retailers, offer some sort of extended warranty coverage.  In the past, it could be argued that this was not always a wise purchase, since many retailers would make frequent exceptions to their return and exchange policies in an effort to satisfy their customers.  Unfortunately, due to the rampant abuse of these courtesies, most retailers had to abstain from these practices many years ago.  It is always the customer’s choice on whether they would like the peace of mind that would come with having an extended warranty; much like deciding whether to have insurance on personal property.  The benefits have to be weighed against the costs, with the understanding that if it is not purchased, the consumer would then have to bear the consequences of that decision. In Mr. [redacted]’s case, he purchased his dishwasher on August 16, 2016, and the manufacturer’s warranty expired a year after On August 27, 2014.  With that said, an exchange would only have been an option while the unit was under its manufacturers’ warranty.  Unfortunately, any repairs needed for the dishwasher would be at the cost of Mr. [redacted].  In the interim, since we are unable to honor Mr. [redacted]’s requested resolution as it is not an option available to him under the terms of his purchase, we have closed our file. Again, we apologize to Mr. [redacted] and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.Sincerely,Erica [redacted]Regulatory Complaints Specialist[redacted]Erica.[redacted]@searshc.comEmail: Dana.[redacted]@searshc.com

We have completed our investigation [redacted] complaint regarding her...

dissatisfaction with Sears Auto Center.
First, we would like to apologize to [redacted] for failing her expectations when she recently took her vehicle to Sears Auto Center for an alignment. Additionally, we would like to assure [redacted] that we appreciate her valuable feedback, since we compile this information to identify any negative trends and work towards rectifying any shortcomings within our customer service network. We do not take these matters lightly and we have forwarded [redacted] complaint to the District Service Manager to apprise him of her concerns.
On October 28, 2015, Auto Center Manager [redacted] responded that the repairs to [redacted] vehicle were completed; one day after it was brought into the auto center. [redacted] advised that he worked with the dealership and [redacted] Auto Parts to get the correct parts for her vehicle. [redacted] was not charged for any of the parts, labor or the alignment that she originally requested. [redacted] spoke with [redacted] yesterday afternoon and he indicated that he was pleased that the repairs were completed two days earlier than expected. Furthermore, he indicated that he and [redacted] were coming by the auto center later that evening to pick up the car. Since it is our understanding that the [redacted] are satisfied with the outcome of their complaint, we ask that this matter be closed.
Again, we apologize to Mr. and [redacted] and we appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.
Sincerely,

[redacted]    Dear Ms. [redacted]:We have completed the investigation of Mr. [redacted]’s
complaint regarding a lap top he purchased earlier this year....

According
to our records, the page for the item in question clearly said that the laptop
Mr. [redacted] purchased had a ninety day warranty. We have no records on file to
corroborate his claim that he was told differently. Regardless, it is the
consumer’s responsibility to examine the specifics of an item including the
warranty terms prior to purchase. As such, we cannot provide any assistance in
this matter and we respectfully ask that it be considered closed.  We appreciate the
opportunity to address this matter.

March 1, 2016 [redacted] Revdex.com 330 North Wabash Ave., Ste. #2006 Chicago, IL 60611 [redacted] Dear [redacted] We have completed the investigation of Mr. [redacted] complaint regarding his dissatisfaction with our refund process for a snow thrower that he...

returned. We thank Mr. [redacted] for sharing his feedback regarding our return/refund policy and we apologize that we failed his expectations. When we researched his order we found that the Mr. [redacted] purchased the snow thrower on January 23, 2016 and our 30 day return period expired on February 23, 2016. However, for customer satisfaction our store accepted Mr. [redacted] return on February 29, 2016 without a restocking fee. As clarification, Sears return policy states that a customer has 30 days from the date of their original purchase to make a return (for a refund). It further states that refunds will be issued in the same form as the original method of payment. In Mr. [redacted] case the original form of payment was a check; therefore, his refund will be processed in the form of a check. Mr. [redacted] should receive the bank check via regular mail within 10 business days. With that being said, since we have addressed the issue brought forth in Mr. [redacted] complaint, we have closed our file. Again, we apologize to Mr. [redacted] and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. Sincerely, [redacted] Regulatory Complaint Specialist Sears Holdings Corporation [redacted]

We have completed the investigation of [redacted] complaint regarding her experience with Sears.
We have response from both Sears Home...

Delivery and from the Burnsville Sears store related to [redacted] complaint.
[redacted], Assistant Operations Manager from the Burnsville Sears store provided the following response:
On October 23, 2015, I was able to resolve [redacted] complaint. That said, sales check #[redacted] references a credit in the amount of $139.99, which was processed back [redacted] card ending in [redacted]. Typically a consumer can expect a credit to post to a credit card account within 3-5 business days.
[redacted], Sears Delivery Solutions, Support Specialist provided the following response:
After confirming [redacted] email address, Sears Delivery Solutions processed a $65.00 Sears gift card, which will be emailed to her [redacted] email address. Typically a consumer will receive an electronic gift card within 3 business days. We feel it is important to note that there are times when an electronic gift card will end up in a consumers spam/junk mail box. We ask that [redacted] ensure she checks her spam/junk mail box. Since we have noted that we have processed the gift card and refund for the garage door opener installation, we ask that this complaint be closed.
We apologize to [redacted] and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

The only thing wrong with the refrigerator was that it would not go into the defrost cycle. What ever the technician did to my refrigerator caused it to completely malfunction. The technician may have made a mistake and possibly did something wrong. It was functioning perfectly other than ice...

building up at the bottom of the refrigerator. In that case it is there responsibility to fix what ever he did wrong. I have spent many hours on the phone and [redacted] at Sears Brandon, Fl store spent 3 hours and spoke to 18 people. She told me to come back later and by then she should have it sorted out. I had her call the person who said that they would replace the refrigerator if the recall problem did not solve the issue. She had him on speaker phone while she spoke to him. He told her it would take 24-48 hours to get the service records. If after they fix the recall problem it still doesn't work then they would replace the unit. The service technician called my wife a week later and told her he had already fixed the recall problem. They either broke the refrigerator while they were fixing it. Or on 3/15 it failed not for the original problem but for a completely different one. Either way they are responsible for the refrigerator.
