We have completed the investigation of [redacted] rebuttal.   We have reviewed both our response and [redacted] rebuttal, and we do not find that he has brought any new information to his complaint.  While we understand that he was dissatisfied with the service he received, the fact remains that Sears had no contact for a six month period that [redacted] was still having issues after our last repair. With that being said our decision remains the same and [redacted] will be responsible for any repairs needed on his out of warranty refrigerator.   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]

[redacted]We have completed
our investigation of [redacted] complaint regarding the amount she was
authorized for a replacement for her...

refrigerator. It is important to
note that [redacted] contacted Sears on July 10, 2015 for a repair on her 2010
refrigerator. As our records showed she had no service coverage she was offered
a Sears appliance warranty with the option of covered service for one
nonworking appliance in the first 30 days of coverage. This option includes a
$60.00 deductible with service coverage up to $500.00. If it is found that the
appliance cannot be repaired the replacement amount is $500.00. She agreed to
this coverage and a service was set up. Our service technician arrived on July
15, 2015 he found that she would need an ice maker with the corresponding hinge
connectors for the door. Our service technical group found that although the
ice maker was available the hinge connectors to complete the repairs were not available,
per our policy we did a part research with other part vendors and it was
confirmed on July 21, 2015 that the needed hinge connectors were not available.
 [redacted] was informed of this and the
replacement amount of $500.00 per the terms and conditions of the appliance
warranty. [redacted] refused the replacement amount requesting the entire
freezer door be replaced. Unfortunately this was not an option both due to her
refrigerator model is no longer made and we can only get an entire door from
the manufacture if the item is still being produced. [redacted]
requested the replacement amount be raised by $200.00, bringing the replacement
amount to $700.00, for customer satisfaction reasons and due to [redacted]
stating this amount would be satisfactory and we felt it was not an
unreasonable request we did increase the replacement amount to $700.00 on
November 5, 2015. Our records show that on November 9, 2015 [redacted] called
in and demanded the replacement amount be increased again to $1699.00. This was
denied as we did not feel it was a reasonable request since [redacted]
accepted the requested $200.00 increase two days before. [redacted] did use
the authorized replacement amount of $700.00 on December 1, 2015 with delivery
on December 8, 2015. Since [redacted] has used the authorized replacement we
have closed our case.We apologize to [redacted] on behalf of Sears Holdings Corporation and 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

January 13, 2016 [redacted] Revdex.com 330 North Wabash Ave., Ste. #2006 Chicago, IL 60611 [redacted] Dear [redacted] We have completed the investigation of Ms. [redacted] complaint regarding her dissatisfaction with delay in receiving her refund for a...

cancelled item on her online order; and the customer service she received at the Kmart Store. It is unfortunate that we failed Ms. [redacted] expectations when she recently placed an online order. We value Ms. [redacted] 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 Ms. [redacted] may have experienced at her local Kmart store especially during the holiday season. We want to assure Ms. [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. We would note that our systems take orders for store pick-up based on the amount of inventory showing as available in our systems. While we strive to have accurate information, it is possible for these numbers to not always be accurate. Some of the factors involved can be merchandise which is in a customer’s shopping cart at the store and not yet purchased, other purchases made before the store receives and processes the order, and various inaccuracies that are usually fixed by a manual count inventory that most retail stores do twice a year. The fact remains that when the store in question received Ms. [redacted] order, it appears that they no longer had any of the beard trimmers on hand to fulfill it. Typically, when an order is not accepted, the funds that are on hold are released, and usually there are no charges made to the consumer’s account for the cancelled item. It can take 3-5 business, depending on the consumer’s banking institute, for the funds to post back to their account. When Ms. [redacted] called to report that she had not received her refund for the cancelled item, we submitted a research on the refund. We discovered that due to a system error the refund for the cancelled item was not automatically issued. On December 25, 2015 we emailed Ms. [redacted] and informed her that we had issued her a credit of $19.99 and that the credit would post to her account within 3-5 business days. With that said, since we have addressed the issue brought forth in Ms. [redacted] complaint, we have closed our file. Again, we apologize to Ms. [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 the coverage available under her warranty and Repair Protection Agreement (RPA) in relation to a tractor/riding mower purchase.
We were uncertain as to exactly what resolution [redacted] was requesting since the information we received from the Revdex.com was very brief. Accordingly, we reach out to her via email and ended up corresponding with [redacted] We then discovered the issue at hand was the fact that [redacted]had a service call in February for the wheel on his tractor and after he fixed the tire, he found the battery was dead. Unfortunately, there was some confusion as [redacted]still thought that the service order was open and that we had just not returned, when in fact the service order was closed out months ago. We were able to confirm with [redacted]that while the battery is not covered for failure after 90 days from the date of purchase under the terms of the manufacturer's warranty, it is covered under the terms for the RPA. To receive the part though, the consumer would normally have to set up a service call to have a technician make the determination that the battery needed to be replaced.
With that said, since [redacted]may have been given incorrect information at the store and was not aware that a technician would not be coming to assess the tractor, he ended up purchasing his battery directly at the store. As noted above, while this generally would not be covered under his RPA, we did make an exception due to the fact that he was not given the correct information on how to go about getting the battery replaced, or even how his coverage worked. Accordingly, a refund for $82.30 was processed on April 17, 2015, and the credit should post to his [redacted] within 1-5 business days of that date; the exact time for posting is dependent upon his card issuer's policies governing refunds. If for some reason he is unable to confirm the refund has posted by April 24, 2015, then he is welcome to contact me via email or phone. In the interim, since we have issued a full refund for the battery purchase, we have closed our file.
We apologize to[redacted] and [redacted] and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

We have completed the investigation of [redacted] complaint regarding...

the delay in receiving her purchased recliner.
It is unfortunate that we failed [redacted] expectations when we did not meet the delivery date that was given to her on the day of her purchase. We value [redacted] patronage and understand how the series of events noted in her complaint has caused her to lose faith in Sears. We regret that this incident occurred, but we can assure [redacted] that her concerns have been forwarded to management for review so future problems of this nature can be averted. After reviewing [redacted] complaint and our records, we were able to determine that the root cause of the delay was due to the fact that the manufacture was not able to fill [redacted] order, and we apologize for this. Our records also show that the delivery was completed on 14 March 2015. For any inconvenience this may have caused, we issued a sales adjustment of $64.15. We hope that [redacted] adjustable recliner will provide her with long term satisfaction. Since the delivery of [redacted] purchased recliner has been completed and courtesy compensation was provided, we have closed our files.
We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: the statement received from the business is inaccurate. Sears charged a haul away fee during time of payment I was informed by the sales associate that this charge included disconnecting the appliance and hauling the appliance away. The sales associate never stated that the appliance would need to be disconnected and placed to the side. Also, there was no water in the hot water heater; all of the water had been drained before Sears arrived at my home. The fact that this explanation was never explained to me helps reiterate the level of service I am complaining about. The Sears Executive I spoke with is well aware of the issue that generated this complaint; the fact that Sears is now denying knowledge reiterates the level of service not only in the store but also at the Corporate level. The basic business practice is being on time; Sears could not do that. I have had my last experience with Sears; at this point I will notify the lender and provide them this information so they can understand what their customers experience while shopping at Sears.
Sincerely,

November 5, 2015[redacted]Revdex.com330 North Wabash Ave., Ste. #2006Chicago, IL  60611[redacted]     [redacted]We have completed the investigation of [redacted]
complaint regarding the service she received on her microwave...

and her request
to receive at least a partial refund.We would clarify that in instances where we put a different
part in, we charge the final price of the part installed and not necessarily
the part that was initially ordered. Additionally, the amount we collect for
the pre-payment is designed to cover the cost of our minimum trip/diagnostic
fee and the cost of the part. Once we return we would collect the balance of
the labor owed to install any part. In [redacted] case, she prepaid us
$186.94, and when we returned and found the other part was needed, we only
charged her $63.39 for the part and $142.00 for the labor. As this came to more
than what we had previously collected, she was charged an additional $18.45.
After this when [redacted] indicated that she installed the part herself, our
billing center refunded her $86.13 back to the [redacted] ending in [redacted] We would
always refund in the tender paid and in instances where an account has been
transferred over to another account number, the card issuer would then transfer
any applicable refunds sent to the old account to the new account. If the
account was subsequently closed and had been paid in full, then the card issuer
would have refunded any negative balance to the card holder.We do see notes after this occurred where [redacted] was
asking to be refunded in full and indicated that the appliance was still not
working. If that is the case, then we would need to send a technician back out
under her 90-day guarantee. At this point she would not be entitled to any further
refund until we assessed the previous repair. If [redacted] would like to
schedule this, she is welcome to call me at [redacted]. In the interim, since
we have only retained the cost of the part we sent her, and our non-refundable
minimum trip/diagnostic fee, we have closed our file.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.Sincerely,[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: It has been found that the dog hair present (which isn't excessive by any means) was not the cause of the leak. Additionally, a technician was sent out on the 12th first thing in the morning and left within five minutes of being there after being very rude to me. A secondary technician was sent out that afternoon, which caused me to wait for two entire days for this to be checked out.
Sincerely,
