November 11, [redacted] Revdex.comNorth Wabash Ave., Ste#2006Chicago, IL 60611*** [redacted] We have completed the investigation of [redacted] complaint regarding the charge he was billed to receive an in-home estimate for a repair of his washer.We would first note that for all customers scheduling a repair, they are advised in advance that we will give an estimate for the service needed and if our estimate is accepted then no further monies would be due and if it is declined, then a minimum fee of $would be due at the time of serviceWe are actually not set up to bill customers as all charges are due during our visitWith that said, in instances where a consumer absolutely refuses to pay us, instead of contacting law enforcement and/or filing charges for theft of services, we attempt to collect via the mailHowever, we do not report our collection efforts to any credit reporting agency, so it would have no impact on a person’s credit report.In [redacted] case he agreed to these terms when he scheduled the service call, and yet since the technician did not diagnose the washer in a way that [redacted] felt was accurate, even though he is not a technician and could not diagnose the problem himself, he refused to pay for the estimate providedThe truth is that our laundry technicians see hundreds of broken washers a month and they do not always need a long time and/or to take the washer apart to know what the problem isIn the case of the bearings or tub going out, it requires the replacement of the inner shell, the outer shell, the drum and shocks and the parts alone are generally more than the cost of the washerWhen labor is figured in, it does not usually make fiscal sense to pursue a repair, again depending upon the cost and age of the productTo help ease the sting of buying a new appliance rather than a repair that might have been considerably less, we do provide coupons towards a new purchase that can mitigate the expense of the in-home visitThese are just offered as a courtesy.With that said, while [redacted] was responsible to pay the minimum fee of $79.00, our customer support group agreed to waive the fee entirelyThis was done as an accommodation because the washer itself was a Kenmore brand and it was less than years oldThe billing was stopped on September 24, 2015, and the record was clearedIf [redacted] receives any further correspondence related to this debt that is dated after that day, then he is welcome to contact me directly so that I can assist furtherIn the interim, since we did agree to waive the fee for the estimate provided, we have closed our file.We apologize to MrMullally and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.Sincerely, [redacted]

December 10, [redacted] Revdex.comNorth Wabash Ave., Ste#2006Chicago, IL 60611Re: # [redacted] – [redacted] Dear Ms [redacted] :We have completed the investigation of Ms [redacted] ’s rebuttal to our previous responses.We apologize if we were not clear before, but the button in question is not a reset buttonIt is just a button that forces the unit to go into an ice making cycle and it is used for diagnostic purposes only Sometimes it is referred to as the “fill” button or the “test” buttonThat is why the manufacturer, which is not Sears by the way, does not mention the functionIt does however mention the on/off switchMany times turning something off and on, generally referred to as “rebooting”, works as a reset; so if the ice maker was already in the on position, and Ms [redacted] states the technician turned it off and on, then that would be what reset itAgain, he would only have pushed the unseen button to test out the ice makerIf there was something more wrong with the ice maker, such as a bad valve, etc then either the test function would not have produced a cycle, or it might have cycled once when pushed but would not have continued cyclingRegardless though, Ms [redacted] contracted our services to diagnose what was wrong with the ice maker in her refrigerator, and we did this as it is now workingWe also understand that Ms [redacted] has filed a credit card disputeShe should be aware that the card issuer will usually provide a conditional credit but if we supply a copy of a signed receipt where she agreed to the charges, then generally the chargeback will be declined and the charge will go back on the accountWe just want her to be aware of this in the event that the refund from her card issuer turns out to not be official and the refund is removedWith that said, we remain willing to provide the offered $refund and if Ms [redacted] reconsiders she can contact me via email or phone to provide her credit card information so that we can issue a credit of $in the event her chargeback is not upheldThis offer will be open for the next days after which time it will become null and voidIn the interim, since we remain willing to provide the partial refund that was already offered and declined by Ms [redacted] , we have closed our file.We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.Sincerely, [redacted] Team Manager, Regulatory ComplaintsDirect Line: [redacted] Email: ***[redacted] @searshc.com

January 21, [redacted] Revdex.com North Wabash Ave., Ste#Chicago, IL Re: [redacted] Dear Ms [redacted] We have completed the investigation of Mr [redacted] complaint regarding his recent online order It is unfortunate that we failed Mr [redacted] expectations as we value his patronage We can understand his frustration with the series of events detailed in his complaintWe can assure that her concerns have been forwarded to management for review so that future problems of this nature can be avertedAfter researching the notes in his online order, we found that Sears Online processed a refund of $in the form of a gift card which shipped out on January 4, Additionally, a gift card of $shipped out on January 12, Mr [redacted] should allow up to business days to receive them in the mailWith that said, we hope that in the future Mr [redacted] will allow us another opportunity to provide him with a better example of customer service that we have built our reputation uponIn the interim, we have noted Mr [redacted] concerns and respectfully ask to have this matter closed, pending his receipt of the refund 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

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: The statement that this is second failure is incorrectThe diverted motor failed again in July of 2015, six month after the first repair in December and there is a Revdex.com complaint against SEARS to that effectAt that time, SEARS service department found the motor leaking again and replaced itThey attempted to charge me for the repair but after the complaint they refunded the service chargeExactly days later the motor locks up again and the dishwasher failed and SEARS again needed almost two weeks to send a service man to address the situation and attempted to collect a service feeThis dishwasher in little over a year of ownership has failed three timesEvery single time the issue was related to the diverter motorI will not buy extended service from SEARS because of my experience with their service thus far in terms of extremely delayed response times and poor customer serviceI think this dishwasher is a lemon and I wonder how many service calls it will take before SEARS acknowledge that this is caseI have records of all service calls and failuresI ask the Revdex.com to not close this issue Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: I am rejecting this response because: The business is not telling the truth regarding providing me with a clearly worded warranty from their laptop refurbisher at the time of purchaseIn fact, the warranty, as I've shown in the scanned documents, states that the period is days OR daysWhen I called Sears, their representatives stated to me not to worry and go by the day warrantyIt is despicable for this large corporation to fail standing up for the products their affiliated refurbishers sell on the Sears websiteNeedless to say I will never buy anything else ever from Sears due to their deceptive practices that they allow their laptop refurbishers to conduct Sincerely, Edgar [redacted]
