Choice Home Warranty they refuse to cover for broken sump and leaking water heater even though they were supposedly covered.

I have had a Choice Warranty plan for seven years, and twice when I needed them the most, they failed me miserably! The first time was three years ago when my sump pump failed, and water started pouring into my finished basement! I called Choice Warranty and was told appointments were filled up that day, and couldn't get out til the following day, ignoring the fact that I was dealing with an emergency! I therefore had to contact a plumber on my own. It ended costing over $3000 to replace the pump and back-up, plus having to pay another company to clean up the water damage! Shame on me for not canceling the warranty plan then! The second time was about three weeks ago my water heater started leaking. I called Choice Warranty and they couldn't get anyone out for four days. Of course even though the water heater was "covered, " they don't cover a leaking water heater...a complete sham! I was out another $1550 for a new water heater! I am an 81 year old widow on a fixed income! They happily took my money every month, but left me in the lurch when I needed them! Nancy Pabody

Choice Home Warranty home warranty

I purchased a 3 year Total Plan from Choice Home Warranty when I purchased my home in October 2016. In June 2017 the air conditioner stopped cooling. I called Choice Home Warranty, they arranged for a service technician of their choice to examine the unit. Upon his arrival, the technician had no uniform, no state license posted on his truck, and his only tools were a set of gauges and a tank of freon. He had no other tools or ability to determine why it was low on freon or where a leak might be.
The air conditioner worked during the Spring of 2018, in May it again quit cooling. I called Choice Home Warranty, they could not provide a technician for 5 days. They authorized me to obtain a service on my own and to be reimbursed for repairs. I have a service connected disability making breathing difficult in extreme heat, so I opted for the reimbursement program.
The technician determined that the air conditioning unit was not repairable due to extensive damage from a leak. With much difficulty over 2 days he was finally able to submit his findings, which were subsequently denied by Choice Home Warranty. I received an email justifying their decision:

1.Are located inside the confines of the main foundation of the home or attached or detached garage (with the exception of the exterior pool/spa, well pump, septic tank pumping and air conditioner);and
2.Become inoperative due to normal wear and tear; and
3.Are in place and in proper working order on the effective date of this home warranty contract. This contract does not cover any known or unknown pre-existing conditions. Coverage is for occupied, owned or rented residential property.

Having breathing issues present, I had the unit replaced, while I attempted to resolve the issue with Choice Home Warranty. Trying to reach the appeals person [Ashley Madison]was very difficult game of phone tag, however when accomplished, her decision was that the best she could do was obligate Choice Home Warranty to a settlement of $150.00 on a $4000.00 repair, with no indication of how she justified that figure.

This is a company that consumers should avoid like the plague as their only skill is to say no, and should you be successful in getting someone there to accept some responsibility, they do not possess the ability to inform consumers on how or where they obtained the figure.

UPDATE: after posting this article on a website they offered to buy me out of my warranty at a depreciated value hoping I will go away.

Choice Home Warranty warranty on our air conditioner

6 weeks ago. our air conditioner failed. After several weeks, choice finally got a technician from one of the best AC/Heating companies in our area, (we were told by one company that Choice contacted, that they did not work with Choice after being scheduled to come for a week} Kalins to come check it out. . It was determined by their technician that the unit was not working properly and needed replaced. By not working properly, that means the temperature in the house would not go below 82degrees. After Kalins submitted their report, and another two weeks, back and forth with your company, you decided you would not honor the warranty. We have reported your company to the state's attorney here in South Dakota. My husband is a disabled vet and trusted in your company's offer to insure our household appliances. You have not failed to take a payment from his account for at least 12 months but you have failed to honor your repair or replace policy.

Choice Home Warranty unethical behavior

I have had Choice Home Warranty coverage for about a year before I needed to use it. I opted for the optional coverage of my salt water pool, because when something on it breaks it is very expensive. I made sure to ask the salesman, very explicitly, to make sure my salt cell, and all the other parts of my salt water pool would be covered under Choice Home Warranty with the pool coverage. He assured me that it was all covered. I asked again to make sure that when my salt cell stopped working, they would cover it. He again told me that it would. Fast forward a year. The salt cell goes out and I put in my claim. They write back and tell me that they don't cover salt water pools. WHAT? I appealed this decision and they said they couldn't and wouldn't cover the salt cell on my pool, but they would schedule a service technician to come out and see what was wrong. It was a problem with the salt cell and sensor. Choice told me they would not cover it. I again called, this time, to cancel the coverage. See, the whole point of the Home Warranty is to cover the cost when things break, and they didn't hold up to what their salesman told me on the phone. I talked to Jasmine from Choice Home Warranty. She was not helpful at all. She told me that it didn't matter if the salesman from their company LIED to me on the phone, or that I had them recorded, stating that they would cover a salt water cell replacement. She would not honor their word-of-mouth contract and fix my pool. I then told her I wanted to cancel the policy because they are liars and won't stand behind what their salesman verbally tell people on the phone when they sign up. I had the contact in front of me and it clearly stated that the contract was for $1, 642.50, and then listed all my covered* items (though they apparently refuse to actually cover anything when it breaks). It also listed the optional coverage that I had, including the pool coverage, but it does not state that there is additional financial cost. This, to me, appears that they have rolled the cost of the additional coverages into the price they clearly list as the contract price, since it is listed in column format with the coverage price at the top, followed by all the coverages. Jasmine tells me that I will get refunded $862.42. I told her, "NO", you owe me $1, 123.18. My contract price was $1642.50 for 42 months of coverage. That is $39.11/month. I had the contract in place for 12 months, so I should be refunded $1, 173.18 minus a $50 cancellation fee. She told me that the optional coverages were about $19/month, so my calculations were wrong. I told her that the contract showed that my price was $1, 642.50, and it didn't show any additional charges beyond that, but it did list my optional coverages under it. She told me, too bad, this is the amount that we will refund. I asked for her supervisor, and she told me that there was no one higher than her to transfer me to. I told her that I would be letting everyone I could how terribly they treat customers at Choice Home Warranty and how unhelpful and not courteous she had been. She didn't care, told me I would get my check in the mail soon and goodbye. Choice Home Warranty is a rip-off. Don't use them. Ever. I have audio recordings of both the salesman telling me that I was covered, and Jasmine telling me that they wouldn't cover it. I am considering legal action against them for false advertising, breach of contract (the verbal one from the salesman).

Choice Home Warranty air conditioning claim

I called to receive service and an air conditioning unit that was running continually and not blowing any cold air. LNJ service was sent out and they tested it as having not enough free. I paid an additional $245 to have the test run because it was not covered in the service contract. The vendor set an appointment to follow up on August 13. On August 3, I was experiencing the same problem and started calling to get air conditioning due to temperature and health concerns that I have with heat. Your representative could not reach them on Saturday, August 4, and sent them an email. I ask if I could call since I didn't have their phone number and the service agreement from the Freon test. I did reach someone and they said they would call me back in half an hour since they were on the phone with Choice for another call. After one and a half hours of waiting, I tried the vendors number again and it went to voicemail that the mailbox was full. And then we called choice and someone then did get a hold of him and advised me that they will be coming between 3 and 8 PM on August 4. I was never advised of anything by the vendor and attempt dish and showed up about 11am. The same technician arrived and said the Freon level was fine, he thought maybe there was air in the line and he check that, and he said there was a problem with the coil and would need an OK from choices in order to repair them. I asked if I would hear from him again and he said no he had other calls to make. The air was running on a very low level but it was starting to cool things down for about for five hours. When I went out and came home nothing was working everything was running and the house was very warm. When I tried to call back this morning, Joyce advised me that they left a message about my situation. I cannot get a hold of the vendor, Choice has not called me back, and The temperature is almost 90° in my house. When I called the main number about claims I was also advised that there was no one else I could talk to that could make a determination and get some when out to my house today. I would appreciate a response or telephone call at [protected] .

Choice Home Warranty poor vendor service, unethical behavior, lack of follow up, not communicating honestly about services

I've had a claim in for almost a month regarding my AC unit. I don't have to tell you the issues because you can open the claim and review the notes and how many times I've called and the lack of follow through. The notes will show that I was assigned a vendor that was fired without me being notified; he's behavior toward myself and other customers was unethical, your team not following up with update, me having to be reassigned another vendor who went days without returning HCW calls, the part being sent to the vendor without clarifying the address and the part having to be returned, me being told that the part would be overnight 1 day shipping which was a lie, I was told a manager would follow up with me which haven't happened, the promise that my part would be here today and now they are telling me that it won't be here until next Monday August 6, 2018.

What's not in your notes is that this has cost me over $2, 000 because I have a tenant in the property that hasn't had AC for a month which is costing me daily. This process has been stressful is impacting me emotionally, mentally, and financially.

I've been very patient and haven't been overwhelmingly calling or emailing but the conversation with your rep today really confirmed that this isn't being taken seriously. In moving forward I will begin emailing, updating every level of management, and making sure my concerns are heard through every avenue possible.

Choice Home Warranty air conditioner

The coil on my Air conditioner went out and my technician specifically told them it was not from rust. They denied the claim because of rust. This is the second claim in a year they have denied because they say it wasnt covered. I will NEVER use them again. This was a complete waste of my money!
Choice home warranty is a RIP off they find a way to deny every claim!

Choice Home Warranty hvac

Started 6/18/2018
Repaired 6/26/2018
Recall 7/22/2018 - Found wire from capacitor installed 6/26 was not attached.

AC Tech made an error which caused system failure. Choice declined coverage claiming rust and corrosion. Second opinion obtained, confirmed error by tech caused failure, not rust and corrosion. Even AC Tech's own notes on 6/22 and 6/26 noted no leaks and no rust and good refrigerant levels. Photos below.
Choice will not answer phone or email. Christine Evans is case mgr who will not respond by phone or email.

Onsite AC and Heating company held for hours 7/26 and finally had to hang up. They instructed me to submit his opinion on my account and have them call. I've held for three hours on 7/24 and was disconnected. I have on hold today for over 2 hours 50 minutes and will probably be disconnected at three hours again. A claims specialist and consumer advocate need to contact me.

Customer Number [protected]
The Lynell Smith, owner of A Devoted Care was authorized to complete repair does not have a license number that appears with Texas Department of Licenses and Regulations and he refused to give it to me. A/C Tech that did work that gave me license number 45777 does not match his name given or on the phone records submitted to Choice.

Edison, NJ 08837

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is to confirm the owner, Sonia Wolfrom, of 11 Grey Birch Place, The Woodlands, Texas 77381 has maintained her HVAC equipment annually. She is a responsible homeowner going above and beyond to maintain her home and ensure routine maintenance service visits are completed. She is conscientious about maintenance to prevent breakdowns from occurring.
Upon her request, I inspected the unit today to provide a second opinion to determine the cause of the present mechanical breakdown. The record indicates on 6/26/2018, Andre, with A Devoted Care replaced the capacitor on the unit. On 7/24/2018, Andre reported he found the wire to the capacitor he replaced on 6/26/2018 had come off. He reconnected the capacitor and found the system to now have a leak in the condenser. It is unknown how long the wire was off of the capacitor; therefore, the impact to the condenser coil and compressor is substantial. The capacitor being disconnected would prevent the condenser fan from functioning and cooling the system properly. It would also cause the refrigerant pressure to increase to a much higher than normal operating pressure and cause the present leak. According to the service record provided by Andre with A Devoted Care on 6/22/2018, (copied below) at 3:04 pm clearly acknowledges there were no leaks in the unit when he previously serviced the system and the refrigerant pressures were within normal ranges.
In my professional opinion, the improper installation of the capacitor has caused the condenser coil to fail and quite possibly has impacted the compressor. It was caused by the extremely high pressure when the condenser fan was not functional but the compressor was running. The coil did not wear out because of wear and tear. It certainly is not from rust, corrosion or lack of maintenance. To suggest Ms. Wolfrom did not maintain the system is false and inaccurate as her records and our company records clearly demonstrate she complied with the annual service noted as a requirement by Choice Home Warranty. You would be hard pressed to find a company that would suggest this particular unit was not maintained.
The unit originally had a mechanical failure in which case, Ms. Wolfrom contacted your company for repair. Unfortunately, it appears your service technician made an error which does sometimes happen. However, the homeowner, Ms. Wolfrom should not be penalized by the error. The warranty company or the technician Choice contracted to repair the system originally should do so at their expense. Feel free to contact me should further information be required. I am willing to restore the system for Ms. Wolfrom should you want me to do so.

Regards,
Danny Burgess

Resolution. Choice should repair the problem as their technician's error caused it. There is no rust and the system has been maintained. The part is a covered part as long as the system was maintained which it was and written records prove so.

From my conversation with Miguel, I have pulled my maintenance records for him to review as I have had an annual review of the system completed by licensed contractors and the system was in good mechanical working order until this issue. I don't want this to be a situation where the repairman comes out and then you are closed and a decision cannot be made. Please advise.
Thanks,

I did not receive a letter of determination as your email indicates above. Please let me know what that determination is. What's the big secret. For heaven's sake, I purchased a service contract and maintained my property by the guidelines Elliot, my sales representative advised, have now requested service and receive this song and dance business. Please contact me via email and via telephone. I will express my concerns to the consumer advocate as well when he or she calls back. [protected]

CHW Representative:
(06/20/2018): Good morning,
It is reaching lunchtime in your time zone. The authorization department has had time to review the photos and the claim for the AC repair. I have maintained the unit and for Choice to drag their feet is not acceptable. I am reading online many reviews that indicate this is standard operating procedure which is disappointing.
I have contacted the local five stars rated company who last serviced my account for a letter noting the regular maintenance of my one and only a/c unit at my home of which I will have later today. They inspected the unit yesterday and are willing to provide a letter about the routine and regular maintenance of the unit. I plan to submit a complaint along with this letter to the Texas Real Estate Commission, the local television stations and the various other complaint boards available to me, today. I have medical issues, am a post cancer patient, a teacher, and simply do not have the money to stay in a hotel. I paid for this service and in good faith maintained the unit and records to be in compliance with the requirements of Choice Home Warranty. Your representatives stated yesterday I was sent a letter of determination. I responded that the only letter received was one stating the claim was under review. I requested a consumer advocate contact me and I was assured someone would call me if not last night, first thing this morning. That has not happened. I've now contacted my local real estate agent who owns 11 offices here and around the surrounding Houston area who works regularly with Choice Home Warranty and will be reaching out to the local CHW representative. This is Texas and it is hot. I ask that you please cover the repair and let the owner Miguel Soto of Angel AC know about the repair. It is nuts that a person must be put through this nightmare to receive coverage. Please contact me asap.
Sonia Wolfrom
(06/20/18 11:49 AM) Shana Zulin: Thank you for your email. Please be advised we have forward your email over to our consumer advocate department per your request. Thank you again for your patience and for being a valued customer of Choice Home Warranty.rn
CHW Representative:
(06/20/2018): I'm checking on a reply whether you will cover the claim or not. I have reputable people in place to repair my system if Choice chooses to default on the contract. Please advise. Authorization has had more than 24 hours to approve the claim since the last submission of photos from the technician. I would like a smooth and positive resolution to this matter rather than becoming a statistic. The New Jersey Attorney General's office has requested I please, please submit my claim in writing as this is a daily phone call they receive, my state legislator, Mark Keough, has been notified and I will proceed accordingly with the repair. There is no excuse for Choice dragging their feet other than to make me suffer and potentially have the system repaired by someone else. I will wait but in the meantime, I will continue to pursue all methods available to me to report this situation. It is wrong.
(06/20/18 02:50 PM) Velma Batts: Thank you for your email. Please be advised once your appeal has been seen by a case manager you will be notified. Thank you for being a valued customer of Choice Home Warranty.
CHW Representative:
(06/20/2018): Claim Status has shifted to closed but there is no other information provided. Please advise what you decided to do so I will know how to proceed. There is nothing in my email or in SPAM or on this site noting coverage.
(06/20/18 04:40 PM) Velma Batts: Thank you for your email. Please be advised your claim has been approved. You can call the technician to schedule a follow up visit. Should you need further assistance please feel free to contact us at [protected]. Thank you for being a valued customer of Choice Home Warranty.rn

(06/21/2018): Good morning,
Did you notify the technician? I've reached out to him a couple of times and have not heard back from him. Just checking so it is not a situation of he missed then notification or did not receive it. Thank you in advance for your reply.

(06/21/18 12:38 PM) Velma Batts: Thank you for your email. We are looking for another technician. We are not an emergency service company and do not provide same day service. Should you need further assistance, please contact us. Thank you.

(06/21/2018): This is not same day service. This started last weekend, was reported Monday 6/18 and the owner of Angel AC was given approval on day theee and his is day four he decides to refuse service. This is not right. Miguel Soto, the owner of Angel AC could have refused yesterday instead of wasting another day. He assured me earlier in the week he could have me back in service the same day you gave approval. Please ask a customer advocate or a supervisor to reach out to. A vendor who
Can come today or at the worst tomorrow. This is horrible. My dog is having to go to the vet and I'm not doing well with it either. This is CHW's irresponsible and unprofessional vendor that's has caused this delay. Please help. ASAP.

Thank you for relieving my mind. I hope Miguel Soto, who owns Angel AC, is no longer a service representative as he has caused me personal pain, and did some things that were not appropriate.

It has been determined the condenser coil has developed a refrigerant leak which requires replacement. Condenser coils that leak have been exposed to corrosive or acidic materials that have infiltrated the fins and transfer tubes, damaging the integrity of the coil. The acidic agents cause sections of the coil to become corroded and/or rusted, causing the development of pinhole or microscopic leaks.

(07/25/2018): I am now realizing ya'll went back to the other claim form to correspond. So, now I'm submitting my questions to both locations.

Good morning,

Did you decide whether Choice will cover the freon repair? I have a local air conditioning company coming today to provide a second opinion. I have been told by multiple people that had the serviceman with A Devoted Care had checked his work as a trained professional is taught to do, the wire connection would not have come loose. His error caused the fan to quick working and the system to heat up. I was gone for nearly two weeks and I have no idea how long his mistake impacted my unit. One thing is certain though, there was no freon leak three weeks ago when A Devoted Care repaired the system and has not been one on the previous annual system service and maintenance checks as designated in writing on the annual service check receipts. Please advise asap as I'm sure you can hear on the news Texas is experiencing a heat wave. I am a cancer patient and will be having back surgery in the next two weeks and need this issue resolved.

I've requested a phone call. That does not happen. I stayed on hold for three hours yesterday and then Choice disconnected me. This is awful service.

Kind regards,
Sonia Wolfrom

Please provide the license number and insurance information for Angel A/C Services.
Please provide the name, address and phone number for the insurance carrier for Choice Home Warranty.
It is my understanding I need to request all of these things in writing. I will look them up on my own as well. I am still patiently waiting a response from Choice but all I can get is a robot computer to respond. Hence, I will file my complaints with the State of Texas licensing boards and the New Jersey Attorney General's Office since I cannot seem to obtain a response from Choice. I've declared what has happened, and at this point Choice is in default. Please respond.

Send you what you requested.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): I have emailed Christine Evans at [protected]@choicehomewarranty.com and uploaded the second opinion from Onsite AC and Heating since the number you provided as a fax is a phone number to hold for hours. The owner said he held for a while but cannot stay on hold all day. I remained on hold for three hours two days ago and then Choice disconnected me. The phone records prove that. We need a resolution to this immediately.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): This claim needs to be escalated to a claims supervisor. It's my understanding that a case manager is not the same as a claims supervisor. I would like to speak to an account claims supervisor regarding this matter. I have called and held for hours without an answer. Choice to needs to contact me so this issue can be resolved one way or the other, [protected].
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): I've started my hold process once again with Choice Home Warranty. We will see if I have to hold for three hours like two days ago to then be disconnected. I'm on hold.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): How do I get my claim before a claims supervisor? How do I get a return phone call or a response about the situation?

I requested the license and insurance information from the phone numbers and people you provided and told me to use to obtain
license and insurance information.

I asked Andre for his last name. He said I would find it with his license 45777. Andre, the service technician said his number is 45777. I
explained to him that number says it belongs to Cornelius U Ruth. Andre said that was his name. He would not tell me his last name but said
his name was what I was seeing online. He would not provide insurance information and said he did not have to and that I could hhave my
attorney call his attorney. I asked for his attorney's number and he would not provide a name.

Lynell Smith called as well. That is who Andre works for at A Devoted Care. He would not provide his license or insurance information. Our phone
call was interrupted when he said he would call me back that Choice was calling him back on the other line.

I have not heard back from him or from yall.

This claim needs a claims supervisor. It also needs a consumer advocate. Please have both contact me immediately.

Sonia Wolfrom
P.S. I've now been on hold for nearly 15 minutes with no answer.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): At 2:39 pm, CST, I have been on hold for one hour 23 minutes.

The failure of Case Manager, Christine Evans to get back with me is unacceptable. The robots that answer the calls and send a generic message including a message stating I am being denied coverage for a water heater when the issue is an air conditioner, and the ability of no one to answer the phone at Choice Home Warranty, leaves me no choice but to pursue assistance through other entities. This is not an avenue I want to pursue but Choice will not respond and leaves me no Choice. Choice is in default at this point for failure to respond in a timely manner. This is terrible customer service and a terrible experience.

Remember you are eligible to purchase Choice Home Warranty coverage regardless of the age of your home or appliances. In fact, no home inspection is required. Please continue to hold, and a representative will be with your momentarily.

Choice Home Warranty policy

I had sign up with Home Warranty's on April 2018 I switched because they seem to offer air conditions plumbing and other things. After I signed on I had to place a claim on a air condition with Choice Home Warranty and they sent someone out there that had no clue of what he was doing charge me $60.00 copay and tell me is the thermostat but was not the thermostat it was the actually unit. So they sent a technician that is not air condition certified has no clue on what he is doing insist on the thermostat and wants to charge me 265 for moving my thermostat to other place on the wall so I ended calling other technician to install the thermostat it was cheaper to call other tech. OK so the new tech. tells me he does not want to give or send his report that he needs to do his own,. so he installs it and checks it and say's it never was the thermostat it was the unit. So I call the guy and he ask me to sent the report and estimate that the other tech did, so he not only cost me money charges me a copay for doing nothing he misdiagnosed my problem and cost me money. I call in the company I tell them I want to refund or cancel my policy and refund my because then they told me they don't cover the air condition and I said yes is in your coverage description. and they go around and around finally offer to refund me 250 plus next service call I don't have to pay for copay but none of this is recorded so I call in to have them to check my plumbing system and now they say they don't cover it and I got really upset and told them they also have on the description of the services offered but they don't cover, so at this point they tell me they are no refunding nothing so I got I am furious and caused me a lot of head ache, money and lost of stress in top of the wasted time. They are scammers they got to sign me up for a whole year and don't want to refund me anything, I told them I was going to report them to the BBB and they said we are covered because you haven't read the fine print, so in other words they are legal scammers!. The Home Warranty's are not honest. Each and every time I called for approval I got the same run around. This made me so anxious and upset, because they can't care less about how you feel. Please I do not recommend them please shop around for other options. They are scammers. So, Stay away from Choice Home Rip-off and truly want to see and expect to see them also on Dateline or 20-20 or some news show soon.

Choice Home Warranty can't log in

it only gives me 2 choices, submit new claim or check on a claim. I want to file a complaint about the contractor that was sent to repair my fridge. he fixed one problem, but another one happened before he left, you will not cover the second one which is fine I would pay for it. But he makes an appt. then does not show up or call. it has been two weeks, going on three. He said he would come last Friday at 11.00 I had to leave at 12:00 he rescheduled for 4, did not show up. he was here twice last week and took a part off the second time after he said he would order a new part. The time he took the part off, he said he wanted to be sure he got the right part. He told me that he would be here today between 11:00 and 2:00 after 2 I called him, he said he is moving and would call me when he was done. I have to leave at 5:30. I think he is very unreliable. and I would not recommend him to any one, I am going to report him to the BBB. You need to probably take him off your list of service people. I just need him to bring the part he took off and I will call someone else to make the repair. Very Sincerely, Loretta brown contract number [protected]. Plus I can't find his company of the web, or in the phone book which tells me a lot.

I am a contractor and Choice Home Warranty called me to help them with 3 emergency calls. In good faith I did all 3 calls. I never received payment. I have called over 3 times. I keep getting different stories..( manager will call me back to discuss, check will be mailed, etc.) The last time I called the lady was very rude and told me they are not paying anything and told me to go ahead and report them to collections they did not care! And she hung up on me. Furthermore usually all their customer claims are denied. What a scam! Both for the contractor and customer. The state of New Jersey needs to step in and take action on this rip-off company!

This company used to be my warranty company. I went through a divorce and have sold the home. I no longer own a home and have told them that. They however call me more than 30 times a day trying to get me to renew. How many times do you have to tell them stop calling before they will stop? Thank god for call protection from my phone service provider that just logs these repeated spam calls and don't let the phone ring.

Choice Home Warranty rejected air conditioning claim #[protected]

I recently had my AC rplacement claim declined by Choice, The technician said that the compressor shorted to ground and because the unit was 30 years old it should be replaced. Choice chose to reject the claim based on rust and corrosion that the technician said was typical and would be expected on a 30 year old unit. I appealed the decision and according to the adjuster, Chardonic Odan, The unit failed because it was 2 lbs. low on refrigerant and was leaking. This is not what the technician told me he reported to Choice. The unit was working fine the previous day and he could not get it to start because it kept blowing fuses. He told me it was impossible for him to report any refrigerant level because the compressor needs to be running to test it. He said there was no indication to him that it was leaking. I asked him to send me a copy of the questionaire he sent to Choice but he could no longer access it because the claim was closed. He did send me an invoice with his diagnosis which says the short was a result of normal wear on an older unit. It says nothing about refrigerant levels or leaks. I asked Ms. Odan to send me a copy of her report and she refused. She kept going back to your rust and corrosion exclusion. It sounds to me like someone at Choice based on a picture was looking for a way to reject the claim because the technician says he thought it should have been replaced. He said all older units will have some level of rust or corrosion even when properly maintained. I was asking for some reasonable offer from Choice and was offered an insulting $300, which I refused. I asked Ms Odan to speak to her superior and was told she was the final arbiter. I then told her I felt that Choice is falsely advertising that they cover units regardless of age when they know they can invoke the rust exclusion on almost all old units. I told he to immediately cancel my policy and if another penny was drafted from my account, I expect a check for $4000 to cover my new unit. I left American Home Shield to try Choice and I made a huge mistake in doing so. You have lost a customer and I will tell everyone about my horrible experience with Choice. You probably could have kept a customer if you had made a reasonable offer.

Choice Home Warranty Reimbursement of my claim

Hi,

I created a request for claim for fixing my non-functioning air conditioner. I got an email from choice home warranty that they were not able to find a technician and asked me to find one myself and get it fixed and I will be reimbursed the amount after taking the service call fee of 45$. I got a technician who came to my house on July 7, 2018 and he called the authorization department of choice home warranty. He clearly stated the issue and as per the authorization representatives suggestion the technician filled the refrigerant on the air conditioner. He was asked to send the invoice to choice. After you got the insurance I got an email saying that the amount will not be reimbursed. We are talking about a repair done by the technician as per your authorization department's suggestion. I want to escalate this matter and if I am not getting the reimbursement I will be filing a case against you

My air conditioner stopped working on July 21 Friday. I called Choice to file my first claim. They promised that someone would call me back in 2 days. I called Monday to check status and it had not yet been assigned. Called Tuesday, the status remained the same. My status calls would get routed to Sales and the people there are the rudest employees I've encountered. They would yell at me that they cant help me and have to be sent back to claims. Its a circle each time. So disorganized. Worst customer service. On Wednesday, I called to cancel our policy. I was routed to the Resolution Group (spoke to Wendy). She told me I could get my own technician and they will reimburse the repair, and if it had to be replaced, Choice would reimburse me up to $3000 for the new unit.

We found someone who came the same day. It could not be replaced so they installed a new unit.

I am now trying to get reimbursement but the website for claims CHWCLAIMS.COM does not open, I tried several days. When I call the resolution number directly, it is routed to the main messaging number or leave my 10-digit number. And I have to ask for the resolution department again. Today July 31 I am told to sign on to main website. But there is no resolution icon. I cant get through via phone, and cant get through via website. Person told me to upload and send. How about the verbiage of what I'm uploading, where do I send my info. Your company is a mess.

I also have been having big issues with Choice myself. I also am going through the reimbursement process.

If I do not get the results promised I will have to go to consumer affairs. Now it was already addressed my heater would be repaired.
