American Home Shield [AHS] Billing

I purchased a policy with AHS on or about the first week of December 2021. I was told that I had a payment of $63.99 that would be taken out of my bank account on 12/31/21. I gave them the bank account information to use for that transaction at that time. On approximately 12/23/21 I changed banks. I contacted AHS via telephone and changed the account number and I also changed it in my account online. On 1/3/23 I checked my old bank account and I noticed that the $63.99 had been taken out of that account. I contacted AHS via telephone on 1/5/23 and inquired about the transaction. They stated that they only had my current account on file and that the money would have come out of that. I kept trying to explain that it came out of the old account and I wanted to know how and why that happened. I was told that I only had the new account on file and that I would need to contact the bank. This was done repeatedly. The customer service agent, I can't remember her name, kept interrupting me and then she hung up the phone on me. the first contact I have had with them. I contacted the bank and they informed me to call AHS. The bank stated that they would not have taken the money out, it had to have been requested by AHS, just as I thought.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology and reassurance that next month's payment will come out of the RIGHT account. I want a response to this complaint.

I need to correct the dates on my complaint. The account with AHS was opened in December of 2022, not 2021 and the bank account change was done on 12/23/22, not 2021. My apologies for the mistake.

American Home Shield [AHS] Inability to resolve fridge replacement and no response from management

Hello,

I have been working with American Home Shield since September 19, 2022 for support with my refrigerator repair. I have been visited 8 times by a "vetted" professional company to repair my fridge, however, it's January 5, 2023 and my fridge has not worked for 4 months. I am beyond frustrated with the process of addressing my concerns and getting the adequate support and knowledgable technicians to get the job done or replace my fridge since I have lost time, money, and energy during this ordeal. I have attempted to communicate my concerns with both the reps and technicians to get upper management support to resolve this problems however my attempt have fallen on deaf ears. My understanding of having a home insurance policy is you pay for timely support and actual results. Dealing with this company has done neither. I can't get someone to answer a question or give me a response in English so I can understand and communicate my concerns and vice verse. I have been sent technicians that do not speak any English and can't communicate with me what the actual prognosis is on my fridge. All they say when they change another part is give it one hour. I have given it 110 days at this point. Still nothing. I have been told its the condenser, evaporator, seal system, fluid system, etc. Each of these parts have been replaced. I have attached the invoice sheets they have provided me. It's all in the your system and I have videos and photos of what had occurred. What else is there left to address? The only thing that works in this fridge are the lights. What am I supposed to this with a fridge in this condition and people wasting my time when I have a family that needs to have adequate food and supplies for us to sustain ourselves. Is anyone going to take responsibility for covering the cost of buying food everyday, paying for groceries everyday that I have to store in a mini fridge that I had to pay for out of my own pocket? Is anyone else absorbing those costs? No, no one has to deal with this except me and my family. How about American Home Shield take responsibility for their role and do the job that is required which is upholding their duty as an insurance company supporting families with resolving problems that they are facing with their household appliances.

Desired outcome: Replace my fridge and get adequate, vetted vendors who actually do their job. There are plenty of reviews you can look at online of the companies you hire to come support your clients, however, they leave causing more problems.

American Home Shield [AHS] Refrigerator

We submitted a service request on and about November 23rd to have our refrigerator fixed. Several days later a technician arrived and informed us that he would need to order the parts. After a week I had to call customer service for an update on the parts. Come to find out that order did not take place. They sent another technician out, who actually ordered the parts on the spot. Once the parts arrived at my house, I contacted AHS to and informed them of the arrival of the parts. The technician arrived a couple of days later replaced the part within an hour of less. A day later, we noticed the problem was not resolved. We contact AHS once again to inform them of this. Each time we call, we have to explain to each customer service representative the entire ordeal. We've even spoken to Supervisors after being placed on hold for an extended period of time. AHS final dispatched the technician again that came out and diagnosed the same problem to the point where they asked for a cash out. After a couple of days, I called to inquire about the cash out and was told that the authorization department would contact me, I received no email or call from AHS. I contacted the technician and was informed that he spoke to AHS and requested the cash out and they told him that he had to order another part. The technician said that was not the case. He informed them that the problem was still not resolved after multiple trips to our home. That brings me to today where we've been on the phone with AHS a couple of times after dropped calls. My wife was told they had notes on the account only to then be told by another customer service representative there were no notes. I had to call the technician on my other line while still speaking with the customer service representative. The technician told the customer service representative that he recommends a replacement. The customer service representative said he would need to call the authorization department again to inform them of this. The technician said he would. After the conversation with the technician ended the and I requested a supervisor the customer service representative informed me after being placed on hold for 30 minutes there was no supervisor available at the time and he would monitor the account for the technician's call to confirm the replacement with the authorization department and call us back by Friday. We need help getting this matter resolved immediately.

Desired outcome: We would like a replacement or cash out.

American Home Shield [AHS] Customer service / contractor / vendor

This service was referred by American Home shield. The tech, I don't believe spoke English or he couldn't compose a full sentence. I spoke an individual whom called while the technician was present. I was told that Home Shield would cover the water heater and labor but an additional $465.00 would be needed for paperwork. I asked the individual to send an itemized/line account of the $465.00 supposedly to be owed. We confirmed the correct email for the itemization and ended the call. The technician just stood in the garage looking baffled. There was not one full sentence used:

'need a new one" and "It's broke". We have not received the itemized list but an order for the water heater was submitted by this company. Well, this all started on 12/22/2022, on 12/26/2022, we were still waiting on a water heater. AHS stated that they had sent the vendor an email confirming heater is ready to be picked up. 12/26/2022 thru 12/30/2022, vendor did not answer phone nor return messages. AHS contacted and I was put on hold while they called vendor 12/28/2022. AHS rep. returns to phone and states "vendor has been having trouble with phone (this after, I called 15 minutes before calling AHS) and had not transportation to pick up item. 12/30/2022, AHS is called again due to no response from vendor after 5 days. Once again, AHS calls vendor, and they answer (surprise!). This time vendor relays message to AHS that they will be out on Monday to complete the job. Well, Monday comes, and AHS calls at 7:36AM. AHS states that there is no work order confirmed for 1/2/2023 (if there was no work order then why you are calling), i was put on hold and AHS calls vendor (again, Surprise they answer). AHS returns to phone and states vendor will be at my mother's house on 1/3/2023. I hang up and call T and C plumbing and Alex answers. He states that the warehouse is closed, and they will be picking up water heater and at house on 1/3/2023 between 8AM and 10AM.

HERE WE GO...

On 1/3/2023, The technician comes at 8:20AM-it has been reiterated several times in the past days, verbally with ASH and vendor- TECHNICAIN NEEDS TO HAVE IDENTIFICATION, LICENSE AND SPEAK ENGLISH. WELL! WELL! The technician came with a jacket that had a "Nelson" name tag adhered to the jacket and no other Identification, (No Driver's license?) He just pointed to the name tag. He showed me picture on his phone of work order, when asked about license. He then goes out to the truck and sit for about 15 minutes (i know he's calling the office). In the interim of this, Alex calls(8:25AM) and states the technician doesn't have any identification, is it ok to complete the job. Of course, since my 80+ year old mother hasn't had water since 12/22/2022 and I've had to pay someone $25 a day (8 in total) to heat water which is necessary for her medical/hygiene and them not picking up the water heater which has been sitting since 12/26/2022.

THIS IS WHERE IT GETS REALLY INTERESTING...

The technician gets out the truck with invoice in hand, extending the paperwork towards me and ask, if were paying cash or by credit card (first full sentence out of his mouth). I tell him we're paying by credit card. He then goes and I believe shares this with his superiors (I hear him talking on the phone). I ask to see the license again, and he shows me the same information on his phone (I take a picture of it). I then ask him his last name and he just looks at me. I ask him "Do you know your last name?), he reaches for his phone (really!). I was away from him, as I hear the house phone ringing; it's T and C plumbing. I ask what the person's name is because it sounds like the same women's voice, I just heard on the technician's phone (it was. She wasn't forthcoming wit her name (she asked why I wanted it). I shared with her the reason to be; because you're asking for a credit card number, and this is business in which she needed to identify herself. After some words back and forth she stated her name was "Kenya Lovo". I asked for (I guess) Nelson's last name since he didn't know it and once again, she wanted to know why. It was like pulling teeth. WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS IS THIS? Finally, she said his last name was Gonzales. I asked what her position in the company was and she wouldn't and didn't give it to me.

MOVING FORWARD...

My mother gives the information needed; the technician is still at this putting in the water heater while I'm writing this review/complaint and here we are on 1/3/[protected]@ 11:40AM.

Once the technician was through, he again tried to get payment by card. I told him we had completed this with Kenya by phone, plus he never showed any identification (employee card, driver's license, or any other sort of identification)

American Home Shield [AHS] More than plumbing

AMS should offer more choices of companies to work with. "More than plumbing" is the only plumbing and well company available to me under my warranty which I have been paying for over 6 years. My well pump was not working properly and they told me nothing was covered and it all had to be replaced to include the well tank back in August 2022. I phoned the following week to set it up and left numerous voicemails with NO response whatsoever for more than a week. The worst customer service ever! I called another well company for an opinion and they replaced the switch on the well pump and it works fine now.

Not following up or returning phone calls as a business is terrible customer service. I do not recommend "More than Plumbing"

Desired outcome: Hire other plumbing companies! There should be more than one choice

American Home Shield [AHS] Contractor issues

I called for service to my garbage disposal on Tuesday morning 12/27/2022.

I relayed to the agent that this was an urgent matter as I could not use my kitchen due to the water building up in the sinks. The contractor assigned never called and never responded to calls from representatives from AHS. I first brought this to AHS attention on 12/28/2022, the agent I spoke to then volunteered to attempt to find another contractor and would call me back in an hour but that never happened. I called AHS again Thursday morning after the contractor failed to respond. AHS agent attempted calling and no answer for them also. I asked to have another contractor assigned as at this point it had been over 48 hours. That agent hung up in my face after my request. I called back and asked another agent to assign me another contractor, they tried calling the same contractor to no avail. That agent then stated we would have to wait until the end of the day to see if they respond via phone or email as the contractor has 24-48 "BUSINESS" hours to respond. At that point I asked for escalation who was able then able to assign another contractor; however, this contractor is not able to come out until Tuesday 1/3/2023. The manager Ricardo called back and did state that before calling he tried to find another contractor to come sooner but none were available. Yet, he basically said they did me a favor by even assigning the contractor that is set to come since they did not give the first contractor 24-48 "BUSINESS" hours to respond.

Desired outcome: Refund of my service fee and/or credit of 2 months of my monthly payment.

American Home Shield [AHS] Home warranty

Do not use this company. Save yourself money and aggravation. Better to call a qualified service to get something fixed. They will send you the worst company who doesn’t get any business, and then you will wait a few weeks or even months if you are lucky. I recently contacted them about my ice maker in the refrigerator, since it has stopped working. First of all, they dispatched a service call and advised it would take 48 hours for the contractor to contact me. 48 hours passed , no one contacted me. When I reached out to the assigned contractor, the receptionist had no clue about the service call to my address. After about 20 minutes on the phone, she was finally able to find it. It was already Friday. She mentioned that someone would contact me the following Monday about “SCHEDULE” and let me know what day. When I asked what day it would be scheduled for approximately, she replied, “POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY”. Keep in mind this is only an ice maker in a refrigerator that I can live without for a few weeks ,a month, whatever. God forbid your heater to break in winter time, or the AC in extreme hot summer, or a burst pipe. On Monday I got no phone calls for the whole day. At approximately 5 pm, I decided to call myself to see when my appointment would be scheduled. I was promised Wednesday. On Wednesday, a so-called “technician” came into my house just to let me know that I was not properly opening and closing the French doors on my refrigerator. Apparently, first you have to open the left door, then the right door, and after that you have to close it in the same sequence. What a stupid thing to say. And then they told me that they have to put some kind of silicone inside the refrigerator for the ice maker. Telling me that he would send me a YouTube video if I didn’t believe him. Do you think a professional would tell you something like that? A YouTube video, huh? Is this how you diagnose a problem? Lucky for him, I wasn't home at the time of the appointment. I wish I had been present, so he could look into my eyes and tell me that I was not properly opening and closing the doors. I would've thrown him out of my house right there and then. If I checked the reviews prior to them showing up, I would never have let them into my house. After numerous attempts to contact American Home Shield to try to resolve the problem, I was forced to break the contract.

I was told by a few supervisors that there is a process that they need to follow and this is how their process works. After a contractor is assigned to be at your home, you can get a second opinion. However, you have to wait at least 48 hours for that first contractor to explain what happened and only then will they be able to determine whether they're going to allow a second opinion. Do you believe that a contractor who is supposed to schedule a service call within 48 hours in the first place didn't even bother to call you, they will reply to you within 48 hours?

I actually did try and gave them 48 hours, and nothing happened. I was given the same story again and needed to wait for the contractor to reply to them.

And all you hear from them when speaking to any of them, including supervisors, "I understand your frustration", NO YOU DON'T. You don't need to understand my frustration, but what you need to do is to create a system which is going to work out better and you can retain some of your clients. Also, two months ago they raised the price without even letting me know. I believe that I was supposed to get some kind of notification to let me know that you are raising the prices. And don't automatically assume that it will be OK. I want to get my full 100% refund for one year worth of payments , including the service fee charged, and the cancellation fee of the contract, where it does not indicate anywhere on a contract that there is a cancellation fee. I will take this to Better Business Bureau and consumer affairs. SPOT PROVIDING SERVICES IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT. You don't deserve to have a name like "AMERICAN" home shield, rather "WORTHLESS" home shield!

Desired outcome: Full refund.

American Home Shield [AHS] Refrigerator repair

This has been on going since June 2022. There has been 2 service techs out to fix it and yet it is still in the same state as original. I was charged for 2 service fee's even though the unit has never been repaired. They did refund half of one of the charges. What I think is completely unacceptable is they move your service to complete as soon as a tech comes onsite. This is ridiculous and needs to be changed. The case needs to not close until owner has verified the service is actually complete. The parts on order system is totally useless as the links go no where. The fact that this has been on going for 7 months should tell everyone how you do business. No customer service and no clear path to exculate an issue. Also the customer does not have the relationship with with the repair technicians. That relationship is owned by American home shield. We do not in any way shape or form engage the technician service company nor do we hold any type of a contact with them or pay them any funds. That is American home shield's responsibility. It is not the consumers responsibility to check up on your service providers.

Desired outcome: I either want my refrigerator repaired or replaced as per my service contract. This needs to be done now as I have waited long enough.

American Home Shield [AHS] Home Warranty

AHS has blatantly lied about past service to deny our claim for covered system. There was a mouse nest in our evaporator coil and some stooges from a local company wanted to rip out everything including ductwork and replace it. AHS provided a second opinion from another vendor who said that wasn't necessary, and I cleaned the mouse nest out myself and they haven't come back. The duct work is fine, as both the second vendor and the winter checkup vendor they provided confirmed. The compressor for the heat pump is old and had an electrical problem, burning out the terminals, which AHS claims was due to "pest damage" which is obvious nonsense, not even possible, yet they are fraudelently claiming the replacement is not covered.

They are crooks. They will never ever make this right as the business is built on screwing you when you need them most to maximize profit no matter what the impact on their paying customers. Do not ever consider using this scam service.

Desired outcome: Provide the contracted service and pay for needed repairs as agreed.

American Home Shield [AHS] Service request is pending

Good afternoon Customer care staff, My name is Seyed Kafimoussavi with ID: #[protected] which is one of My three different Contracts with American Home Shield . I have been a Loyal customer of yours going back to 2010. I requested a service request 0n 09/25/22 for my leaking Water heater. It was assigned to Dispatch: #[protected], Requested: 09/25/22 ,T MAYES PLUMBING AND HEATING LLC [protected] For my address at: 213 Watts Branch Pkwy, Rockville MD, 20850.

In Initial check by T MAYES, it was decided to replace the water heater and AHS approved replacement and order a new one that was larger than the space by 2 inches. After the Incompetent Plummer reported back to AHS, to order the same size that is available in the market, they stopped communication and AHS decided to give me the Cash offer to replace the water heater. The price AHS offered and estimated is something around $450.00 which is half the prices of cheapest 50 gallon Natural gas Water heater provided at Home depo.

I like to ask, what kind of estimator would do this, to your loyal customer like me? A Plummer charges $200.00 to $250.0 just to show up, The water heater itself is more than $800.00 plus the installation cost plus Haul away cost for the old one and the dump costs, I have been so upset and shocked by this AHS decision.

I wanted to report this incident to Consumer protection affair office, or write a review for AHS on the net, but I thought some one has made a terrible mistake in their faulty calculation and I should talk or contact you first. I need my Water heater replaced after a month delay urgently (Ser Req was 09/25/2022) . May be I should just call a pluming company to finish the job and send you the invoice .

Please let m know of you decision on this case.

Best regards

Seyed Kafimoussavi

American Home Shield [AHS] Hot water issue

I have a home warranty contract for my property at 2202 S Jasper Way, Apt A Aurora Colorado 80013.

I put in a work order on 9/3/2022 and not once has anyone came out to my property. I have called AHS at least 10 times over the last 4 months and they do same thing every time I call... they assign a new contractor that never comes out. American Home Shield has been paid by me for a year's contract, a 100.00 service call fee and they have done absolutely nothing.

I have never delt with a company that will take your money and do nothing to fulfill their obligations. The customer service with AHA is extremely poor. There is NO email address to send complaints or concerns to. You have to wait an abnormal amount of time to deal with the incompetent customer service techs.

Desired outcome: FIX MY HOT WATER HEATER (per the contract), and give me an explanation on why it has taken 4 months to do absolutely nothing.

American Home Shield [AHS] Water Heater

My Tankless water heater was leaking, they sent a plumber to look at it, the plumber said I needed anew unit. AHS called back 3 day later and denied the claim saying it was missing parts so based on the contact it would not pay. They said it was do to sediment damage and I did not have a filter for the heater, I explained I had a whole house filtration system and water softener. They did not care only went by wahat the plumber said, the plumber saw the system but did not put it on his report so claim denied. I spent hours talking to customer service and they were not helpful. They said they would contact the company for further review but never did.

Desired outcome: Fix water heater or replace it

American Home Shield [AHS] Service

I purchased a home on August 2, 2022. The seller fixed some things and not others. We have started to look for repairs or replacements for a toilet that is leaking from the base. We were denied after being charged the deposit of $85.00. I was told after the contractor came the toilet would not be covered because of wear and tear hence a used toilet in a house we bought. That's why we kept the home warranty to help us with broken items. The seller did not provide us with the customary home warranty through the realtor. We provided American Home Shield home warranty to the people the bought our old house. I hope they are not going through the same experience of lousy communication and service as we are going through! Very confusing tactics American Shield representatives use to deny service.

I was not getting anywhere with the customer service representative so I asked and then demanded to speak with a supervisor. But was told there were no supervisors available and that a supervisor would call me back. No supervisor called me back within the 7-day period. But finally, a supervisor Kiva emailed me 10 days later. My 7 days were up and was told because of that I can not get a second opinion. The customer service representative and not a supervisor told me I have to find a plumber on my own and submit payment for reimbursement which I feel is not right and a real hassle considering I will probably be denied without getting a fair chance to get heard. I need help with this situation.

Desired outcome: I get the toilet and 2 faucets installed I asked for. Also another contractor and not the one that came.

American Home Shield [AHS] Failed service request

I placed a request for plumbing service with AHS on 12/16. By 12/21, the assigned service contractor had not been out to the property so I called AHS. I was told they would have to speak with the contractor before they could re-assign a new contractor and AHS would call me back within 30 minutes. An hour later I called back and was told again that they were still waiting to speak with the assigned contractor. Mind you, AHS reportedly has a policy that the contractor must make contact within 36 hours of receiving the service request from AHS. This afternoon (12/21), I again called AHS because I had not heard from anyone in their office and ONCE AGAIN was told the representative needed to speak with the contractor. I demanded a new service contractor and indicated I was no longer willing to wait for them to make contact. After threatening to cancel my contract, I was told the representative would expedite the problem and yes... I have to wait for another 24 hours to get a response from AHS. THIS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS! Unfortunately, this is the second time I have made a service request and have not been able to get a satisfactory response. Interesting, how the first voice you get when you call speaks English clearly and yet my experience has been that I have difficulty understanding what the representatives are saying.

Desired outcome: Refund of my $125 service call fee and a clear explanation of their policy and procedures. Seriously considering cancelling my contracts with them. I currently have/pay for contracts on 4 different properties.

American Home Shield [AHS] Home warranty

We have been loyal AHS customers since last 4 years, but this horrible experience will change our relationship with them.

Created request with AHS on Nov22 for issue -"freezer” not working in LG refrigerator. They assigned A Go Home Appliance Repair Inc to the case.

1st visit on Nov29: A Go technician said condenser broken, will order new

2nd visit on Dec10: Different technician came to replace condenser, instead said there was nothing wrong with the condenser. He cut some valve caps to investigate issue, which in turn, broke the WHOLE refrigerator. He did not have new valve caps to replace them then. He suggested to replace the entire refrigerator since valve caps don't last that long and would mentioned the same in detailed report to AHS as well in next 24-48 hours.

All produce, dairy etc in the refrigerator got spoiled, since we did not have any spare unit to store them. We contacted both A Go and AHS everyday (Dec 10-13) for next steps.

Dec 14, AHS said they had not received any report from A Go yet and would escalate the case. They promised escalation team would call us within 24 hours.

Dec 15, we called AHS again to check on the status, since we had not received any callback from the escalation team. The service agent said we should keep waiting for the callback from escalation team.

Dec19. we had still not received call from AHS. We called again, no report from A GO yet. I requested agent to transfer me to escalation team, on which hung up the call.

After 2 hrs, we received call from AHS escalation, the agent mentioned that they had reached out to A Go. A Go said they have ordered “some” part to be installed on Dec30. AHS team asked A Go to expedite “if possible”.

We asked the AHS escalation agent for two options - either to replace the refrigerator or assign a new contractor. They denied both options and asked us to wait. With our refrigerator broken for more than 3 weeks now, none of the parties are interested in solving the problem.

Desired outcome: Replace the refrigerator unit

American Home Shield [AHS] Unauthorized charges

My wife & I bought a house at 1810 Manchester Way in Corinth, Texas in July of 2012. We purchase AHS services at that time and faithfully paid our monthly premiums until we sold the house in January of 2017. So we thought! We had our AHS service transferred to our new residence at 400 Mobile Dr. in Copper Canyon, Texas in February of 2017. We again paid our monthly premiums faithfully until we sold the house in July of 2019. So we thought! We had our AHS service transferred to our new residence at 1510 Abbotts Lane Argyle, Texas in August of 2019. We again paid our monthly premiums faithfully and are still residing at this address. Last July, 2022, we had air conditioning issues so I called AHS to file a claim. To my surprise I was informed that we did not have coverage on our residence. So I went back and looked at my bank statements and informed AHS that they had been receiving auto-pay payments from us since we bought the house 3 years earlier. AHS informed me that they had not transferred our account to our new residence back in August of 2019 and that those payments were going towards 400 Mobile Dr. Copper Canyon, Texas the house that we sold 3 years earlier. So I had them change it to our new address at that time. Moving forward to last month I get a call from AHS telling me that we're behind on our monthly payment. So I checked my bank account again because I knew that I had seen a payment to AHS. the past few months. Well come to find out, there were 2 auto deposits coming out of my bank account. So I contacted AHS to inform them of this. They told me that we were still being charged for not only 1806 Manchester Way Corinth, Texas, the house we sold almost 6 years ago, but was also being charged for 400 Mobile Dr. Copper Canyon, Texas the past 3 plus years! So AHS had been collecting from $64.33 to $68.99 on account #[protected], a house that we have not owned since January 2017. AHS has also been collecting $47.99 on our house at 400 Mobile Dr. a house that we haven't owned since July 2019. We are requesting a refund on the amounts that AHS has collected from us on 1806 Manchester Way Corinth, Texas since February 2017, and also the amount that AHS had been collecting on 400 Mobile Dr. from August 2019 through June 2022.

Desired outcome: We are requesting a refund on the amounts that AHS has collected from us on 1806 Manchester Way Corinth, Texas since February 2017, and also the amount that AHS had been collecting on 400 Mobile Dr. from August 2019 through June 2022.
