[redacted] RevDex.com Serving Western Pennsylvania [redacted] Claim... ID: [redacted] ? Customer Information: [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] *** [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] Dear [redacted] ***, Service Line Warranties of America sincerely extends our apologies for the frustration and inconvenience that Mr. [redacted] has experienced with our company in filing his water line warranty claim last month, February 2015. On February 14, 2015, [redacted] contacted Service Line Warranties of America to report a water line issue (leak and/or break). His claim was filed and dispatched the same day to our contractor [redacted] ***. As part of our claims process, we are required follow up with the customer to confirm that service has been completed to their satisfaction and to contact the plumber for additional service if warranted. In this case, [redacted] was called on February 17, 2015, by SLWA to follow up on his water line warranty claim. He advised that [redacted] ***. had been to his residence; however, a leak locater was needed as they were unsuccessful in determining where the actual leak was occurring. [redacted] called SLWA again on February 18, 2015, to advise that he was still waiting for a return call from [redacted] ***. At this point, a conference call was set up between [redacted] , SLWA, and the contractor and the customer was assured that the leak locator service would contact him that day. On February 21, 2015, we received another call from [redacted] to inform us that the leak locator had been to his residence; however, [redacted] ***. had not. Again a conference call was set up with the customer, SLWA, and the contractor to make arrangements for the service call by [redacted] ***. February 24, 2015, [redacted] called back to SLWA to advise us that [redacted] ***. had not made the appropriate repairs and continued to cancel appointments that had been made. The contractor was emailed when SLWA attempted to contact them by phone and was unsuccessful. When [redacted] called again later that same day, the contractor was contacted. [redacted] ***. informed us that he had to schedule a different leak locator as the initial company could not locate the leak. When SLWA called [redacted] back to confirm if the leak locator was rescheduled, we received voicemail and left a message to contact us. [redacted] ***. informed us that they would contact us in reference to the reschedule (leak locator). An individual (not [redacted] ) contacted us very upset that they did not have water. On March 3, 2015, I received the BBB claim # [redacted] for [redacted] . I coordinated an agent to contact him in reference to the information on the claim. The agent contacted him on March 4, 2015, to verify service, which was done that morning, had been completed. March 6, 2015, I spoke to [redacted] to ensure that his water line issue was resolved, and he confirmed that it was. I have also discussed with him his desired settlement as stated in his BBB claim: Desired Settlement: Pretty Simple I want the service I pay for and I want it today. Some compensation for my time and the lost water would be nice as well considering how long this has dragged on. He advised that $375.OO was adequate compensation for his time and that his electric water heater may have been damaged as a result of the water line issue taking some time to resolve. Service Line Warranties of America is committed to act with the highest level of integrity and ethics in our relationships with our clients, customers, employees, contractors, and shareholders. It is with this in mind that the accommodation was made to [redacted] in the amount of $500.00 (above his suggestion of $375.00). Additionally, on March 13, we arranged a service call for his electric water heater that the customer was concerned had been affected by the water line issue. The contractor made slight adjustments and the electric water heater is working successfully. SLWA, working in conjunction with our contractors, is diligently implementing updates and improvements for our claims, dispatch, and follow-up process to prevent these types of situations from occurring in the future as it is our mission to be the leading provider of solutions to our North American municipal and utility clients. Very truly yours, [redacted] Customer Care Manager

Dear Ms. [redacted] , Service Line Warranties of America sincerely apologizes for the misapplied payment in regards to [redacted] ***’s check to establish sewer line warranty service in November 2014. The payment was found, applied and resulted in a refund check (minus administration fee and a... pro-rated charge for service). We are sorry for any frustration or inconvenience this may have caused her. In November 2014, [redacted] was activated as a customer for the sewer line warranty program through Service Line Warranties of America. She submitted her Business Reply Card (application) with a check payment for an annual fee of $79.00. In December 2014, Ms. [redacted] contacted SLWA to advise that the check had cleared at her bank the previous month however the payment was not applied to her account. A research ticket for the application of payment was submitted at this point to locate the check and apply it to her account. In January 2015, she contacted SLWA to advise that she no longer wanted to continue service. Ms. ***’s account was deactivated and a refund check in the amount of $58.72 was mailed. Service Line Warranties of America’s mission is to act with the highest level of integrity and ethics in our relationships with our clients, customers, employees, contractors and shareholders. During my phone call with Ms. [redacted] today, I have explained that the amount of the refund check did not total $79.00 as she is requesting, but rather $58.72 as a $6.00 administration fee and a $14.28 pro-rated service charge was systematically generated and deducted from the refund check. SLWA will refund an additional $20.28 (the combined total of the administration fee and pro-rated service charge) to Ms. [redacted] to accommodate her desired resolution. She has also informed me that she received less than adequate assistance from our Customer Care department. I have assured Ms. [redacted] that I will review the call records and ensure that appropriate coaching is implemented to address her concerns. Very truly yours, [redacted] Customer Care Manager Service Line Warranties of America
We have called this company numerous times about billing issues. We have two services. One is the Exterior Water Line. One is for the Exterior Sewer/Septic Line. We bought these a few months apart. After I paid for the year on the water line, as soon as they cashed our check, they sent another bill saying I owed again. Called them and they said it was a mistake. Paid for the sewer line a few months later for the whole year. As soon as they cashed the check, they sent another bill. Called them and was told it was a mistake. I haven't made a payment on the water line in 18 months and they claim we are paid up for both which is impossible. They are incapable in billing for services.

I am rejecting this response because: I still have not received the payment that was assured to me by Mr***Additionally, his statement regarding the reason for my calls into their customer service department is inaccurateI ONLY called them because they were billing me for the amount I had paid and I was told each time I called that I had no service which is why I was being billed; to start serviceIf service had been activated as he said it was, I would have had no reason to complain or cancel service due to my dissatisfaction over how they took my money and did not apply it to the year of service I paid for

Service Line Warranties of America (“SLWA”) received your correspondence regarding the complaint referenced above. The complaint references Mr***’s frustration with SLWA mailing multiple campaign letters for different product offerings. For a monthly fee, SLWA
provides repair or replacement services for external sewer and water lines for consumers enrolled in our Warranty Programs, provided the nature of the problem is covered under the corresponding Terms & Conditions
In 2013, SLWA and the City of San Diego, CA partnered to provide San Diego homeowners the option to enroll in the External Water and Sewer Line Warranty Programs, as San Diego homeowners are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the buried outside service lines that run between their home and the utility connection. Campaign letters offering the opportunity to enroll in SLWA’s External Sewer and External Water Line Warranties are mailed twice a year, each offering an individual product, to homeowners not currently enrolled in the campaign product SLWA purchases a mail list from a third party vendor, in accordance with all applicable Federal, State and local regulations. Mr***’s contact information was contained in this list
SLWA received Mr***’s signed business reply card (BRC) October 21, 2013, and processed an enrollment in an External Water Line Warranty, with an effective date of October 21, 2013. SLWA mails annual reminder statements as a courtesy to our customers. Mr***’s received his on or around September 19, 2014, this may have contributed to Mr***’s frustration over receiving multiple SLWA solicitations.

I will never do business or trust a company that is unwilling to post their office location.
slwa, is evasive. Read the posted costumer complaints. They are difficult to get your reimbursement payment from.
Likewise, anyone who needs sewer line, can easily, find, get offers, bids, for your
job with approved and certified local, Licensed Contractors. Beware of slwa, fancy large
envelope in your mailbox. Jan 8, 2019 Chuck, San Diego, Ca.
Dear Ms. [redacted],
I am writing in response to the most recent message from [redacted] to the Revdex.com in which she has rejected the response to your agency for the following reasons: Ms. [redacted] has not received her refund check from Service Line Warranties of America totaling $20.28 which was mailed on 01/23/2015. Additionally, based on her message, I have not accurately communicated the events of Ms. [redacted]’s warranty/payment issue with SLWA.
Today, Friday 01/30/2015, I have contacted Ms. [redacted] by phone in hopes of addressing these most recent concerns. The refund check (#19349) in the amount of $20.28 was mailed from SLWA on Friday 01/23/2015. I have contacted my Accounting department after my call with Ms. [redacted]. Accounting has confirmed that the check would be under the Post Office’s responsibility at this point. I have verified with Ms. [redacted] that she has retained my email address and contact numbers from previous emails and to contact me if she does not receive the check within the next few days. I have also forwarded an email to her this afternoon with the information.
In regards to my reference to an account being activated for Ms. [redacted]: this was not correct. The account was created however it was not activated. As SLWA misapplied the payment the account was not activated as it should have been. I sincerely apologize for the miscommunication in my initial letter and any frustration this may have caused Ms. [redacted].
On February 5, 2015, in a conversation with Ms. [redacted], receipt of the refund check has been confirmed.
Very truly yours,

My mother is 72 years young and had this warranty for several years now. She had a water line under her house break in Oct 2017 (6 months ago).. I was helping her out with some bills and came across this warranty. When we called to see if they would help reimburse her some of her expense ($6,229.20) they refused. They informed us since the repair was over 3 months old they couldn't help..
WHY.. ?
This is a service you provide under your warranty so regardless of when it happen it should be covered. All she was thinking about at the time was to get her line fixed.. and since she forgot about this warranty, that she’s been paying on for years, she's SOL.. How is that fair to her.?!?!?!... I will make sure every review place I can find on this company hears about how you treat the elderly.. Nice Customer Service... NOT !

Dear Ms. [redacted]
Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) regrets any inconvenience or frustration caused to Mr. [redacted] when he filed an External Sewer Line Warranty claim.
On March 4, 2016, a network contractor was dispatched to the [redacted] residence for a clogged sewer line. When the initial contractor could not open the line, a secondary work order was opened for a new plumber. The second contractor advised that the sewer line was broken at the tap and that he would contact the city to gather more information. On June 8, 2016, our records indicate that the [redacted]s advised SLWA that the second contractor assigned was delaying the job.
On June 20, 2016, Mrs. [redacted] contacted SLWA for an update on the status of the claim. We informed her that she would get a call. The same day Mrs. [redacted] was contacted, a new network contractor was dispatched. On June 24, 2016, a camera was run through the sewer line to capture footage which in turn was sent to SLWA on June 29, 2016. Based on the results, a cleanout needed to be installed in order to jet the line for a better view of the pipe. The cleanout installation cost was covered by SLWA.
On July 15, 2016, Mrs. [redacted] called to discuss the claim. A break was located on the city side of the line. Our network contractor was waiting for approval from SLWA to do the repair. On August 1, 2016, Mrs. [redacted] called to get an update on the service; however, the contractor was on vacation at this time.
On August 16, 2016, SLWA was contacted for an update and also informed that the sewer line was backing up again. The [redacted]s stated it was an ongoing issue and that they were unsure of the status of the permits and the work to be done under the street.
SLWA is committed to act with the highest level of integrity and ethics in our relationships with our clients, customers, employees, contractors, and shareholders. Taking into consideration the multiple claims and the requirements of city permits and service, the experience for the [redacted]s was obviously less than satisfactory. After review of the claims and the Revdex.com letter, our Contractor Services Department identified a breakdown in oversight relating to jobs that are placed in a paused status, such as waiting for permits or input from the city. The issue has been surfaced and checks have been put in place to prevent this issue from occurring again.
Specific to the [redacted]s’ claim, our Contractor Services Department contacted Mrs. [redacted] to ensure that the work would be completed to their satisfaction. The work was scheduled for August 31, 2016, which was executed very smoothly. The street was cut and excavated and it was found that the external sewer line running under the road all the way to the city main had collapsed. The repair was made and inspected and I contacted the [redacted]s again to ensure their satisfaction with the progress. The property has since been completely cleaned up and seeded. The scheduling of the sidewalk repair will occur this week. During this time, our Contractor Services Department was in constant contact with the [redacted]s. They have advised that they are now satisfied customers. We here at SLWA are most pleased with the customer’s satisfaction but regret that it took so long to complete the customer’s repair.
Very truly yours,
John K[redacted]

[redacted] Service Line Warranties of America regrets any inconvenience or concern caused to Ms. [redacted] regarding her External Sewer Line Warranty claim. On November 19, 2016, Ms. [redacted] called in to our Customer Care department to report sewage odor inside of her residence. Our agent proceeded to ask Ms. [redacted] a series of qualifying questions to determine if the issue was covered under the terms and conditions of the contract. Based on our call records, Ms. [redacted] advised of no backup of toilets or any type of sounds (gurgling) that would indicate an external sewer line issue. The agent then reviewed the coverage of the External Sewer Line Warranty and advised it did not include internal issues that may be present in the residence. Ms. [redacted] was advised to use a private plumber. If the private plumber could determine an external sewer line issue existed, Ms. [redacted] was told to contact Service Line Warranties of America so that we could dispatch a plumber from our network for an External Sewer Line claim. As she did not contact Service Line Warranties of America and paid her private plumber outside of our network for the repair, the service provided was not covered under the terms and conditions of the contract. Service Line Warranties of America is committed to act with the highest level of integrity and ethics in our relationships with our clients, customers, employees, contractors, and shareholders. I have spoken to Ms. [redacted] today via telephone to request documentation of the repairs made by her private plumber to be sent to me directly. We will review the information to see if we can provide Ms. [redacted] with some accommodation per her request. Very truly yours, John K[redacted]Customer Care Manager
Service Line Warranties of America sincerely apologizes for any...
inconvenience or frustration that may have been caused to Mr. [redacted] as a result of his attempt to contact our company to file an external sewer line claim on Friday, April 3, 2015, and then again on Monday, April 6, 2015. On Friday, April 3, 2015, Mr. [redacted] called into the Service Line Warranties of America call center in an attempt to file an external sewer line warranty claim. When he held for an extended period of time, Mr. [redacted] then utilized our callback feature, in which he left his name and telephone number for SLWA to return his call so that the claim may be filed. As he did not receive a callback, Mr. [redacted] again contacted SLWA on Monday, April 6, 2015, and was unsuccessful in speaking to anyone. He left another message with his name and phone number for a callback that went unanswered. Mr. [redacted] then enlisted the services of [redacted] to resolve his sewer issue as he was unsuccessful in filing a claim with Service Line Warranties of America. After leaving Mr. [redacted] a voicemail on April 8, 2015, I was able to speak to him the next day, Thursday, April 9, 2015. During our conversation, I explained to him that our callback feature was not performing to our standards. As a result, the decision was made to deactivate the option and make the necessary repairs to have this feature available to our customers. We are working diligently to have this option up and running as soon as possible. SLWA has also experienced much higher than normal inbound call volumes during the week and our billing cycle occurred during the same time. The combination of these factors proved challenging with our efforts to answer the inbound call volume at the levels and speed that our customers have come to expect. Service Line Warranties of America is committed to act with the highest level of integrity and ethics in our relationships with our clients, customers, employees, contractors, and shareholders, which is why we have processed a reimbursement in the amount of $400.00 to Mr. [redacted]. This was the cost of the service provided for his sewer issue by [redacted]. We have also taken the steps to re-dispatch a contractor, [redacted], who has camera-d Mr. [redacted]’s sewer line and scheduled to have the line jetted by our contracted plumber, [redacted], which was completed on Monday April 13, 2015. Very truly yours, [redacted]Customer Care Manager
