Total Home Protection Reviews (%countItem)

Services were not provided as advertised for home warranty services. I attempted to cancel the contract and was told by a customer service representative that I would not receive a refund. I contacted my bank to dispute the charges. I made numerous attempts to resolve the problem with their customer service department with no success. My bank has also made attempts to resolve the problem with no success. Communicated via emails with their mediation department for my refund and was told that I would be charged a laundry list of administration fees and charges. Paid $1621.76 in January, 2018 for the contract, canceled in June. Charged $934.04 without 1 repair completed. One service call made which would not be covered by the contract. I paid out of pocket for the repair. All fees and charges levied against the refund requested are administrative. I am still in dispute for my refund.

7/24/2018COMPLAINT ID: ***To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you contacting us with the above referenced complaint. We at Total Home Protection treat each complaint with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.

The customer submitted a claim on 6/9/2018 for the Air Conditioner not cooling. The claim was assigned to a vendor on 6/11/2018. The customer was upset that the vendor was not assigned within the 2 days time frame of her placing the claim. She was advised that on weekends/holidays a vendor will be assigned within 4 days as per the policy

III. REQUESTING SERVICE – CALL

B. Upon request for service under normal circumstances, we will contact an authorized Service Contractor within two (2) days during normal business hours and four (4) days on weekends and holidays after you request service. The authorized Service Contractor will contact you to schedule a mutually convenient appointment during normal business hours. We will determine what repairs constitute an emergency and will make reasonable efforts to expedite emergency service. We will accept your request to expedite scheduling of non-emergency service only when a Service Contractor is available. If the Service Contractor agrees to expedite scheduling of a non-emergency service request, you may be required to pay an additional fee.

We reached out to the customer on 6/12/2018 to confirm she was able to secure an appointment and she advised us that she had gotten her own vendor out to her home to do the repair. She was advised at that time she could send the receipt in for review for reimbursement. The customer requested to speak to someone higher and was transferred to retention. The customer requested to cancel at which time we were advised there was a charge back done on the customers credit card. The charge back was done prior to her canceling the policy where we would have been able to issue a refund. Once a charge back is done the funds are now pending. We have not received those funds.

We are unable to move forward until the decision is made as to whether Total Home Protection wins the charge back or not as the payment is in a pending status.

We at Total Home Protection have an unwavering commitment to uphold our founding ideals to provide industry-leading home warranty products and exceptional services to the customers we're privileged to serve.

We signed up with this company in October 2017 for their home warranty service covering appliances, heating and air conditioning units for $35.33 monthly. We haven't used the service until June 2018 for our A/C unit. We called them and reported that the A/C unit wasn't operating properly and they would put in a claim and they said we would get an e-mail within 24-48 hours. We never received an e-mail or phone call. Eight days later we called them and they told us they could not supply a contractor to service our A/C unit. We immediately cancelled the service and contacted *** to dispute the monthly charge for July. They opened up an investigation for us. I truly believe that this company is fraudulent and doesn't intend on providing any service to its customers.

WORST COMPANY EVER. if you expect good service, do not use this company. If you expect service, do not use this company. My fridge stopped working. I called Total Home Protection and they sent a technician out. The company said a part was needed. They ordered the part but when they came to install the part, they realized that the 1st part had caused a secondary problem. The secondary problem was not covered. The 1st part cost $35 (covered), the second part cost $150 (not covered), This is not the end of the story. The second part was no longer manufactured so they denied the claim. Actually they offered me $150 for a fridge that could not be fixed. What a rip-off. They will not allow you to cancel either. If you want to cancel you have to pay $50 and whatever they have paid to a technician. They at that I would have to pay about $400. Of course this is not explained to you when you sign up. Like I said - WORST COMPANY EVER

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

The air conditioner claim had nothing to do with the Blower. It was the drain that was clogged. I had to hire a company to complete the task after I already paid the service call fee.

Regarding the kitchen sink clog at my home. I am not sure why the Plumber who came to my house said what he said. He advised I had a major issue with my pipes and handed me his friends business card who is a Public Adjuster. Plumber advised I "could get about $50K for a claim". Apparently he makes Commission on referrals. Vent stacks have always been there. I hired a Plumber who determined the issue. The wax ring at the bottom of the toilet came loose, causing the water not to flush properly. Once this was removed. Everything worked perfect. I also paid the service call.

No need to respond. Please cancel all of my polices with your company. I will also reach out to the local news and media regarding this company's scam they have running. This is my opinion.

Regards

I received a recommendation to purchase a policy from this company from the prior owners of my home. I was somewhat skeptical about the quality of service provided because they honestly did not take the best care of the house. Little did I know, I would soon find out when my refrigerator went out. I called expecting the worst, but hoped for timely service, at a decent price. Thankfully, I experienced an easy, straightforward process, explained in detail by a pleasant customer service rep. I learned the timeframe involved in processing my request, when I could expect the service technician to arrive, and additional policy information I wasn't aware of. When the technician came, he was definitely on time and just as professional as the rep I spoke with. Finding out how little I would pay for his service was also a pleasant surprise and huge relief. At the end of the call, I was left with a positive first impression of Total Home Protection. Customer service was great, they have an efficient claim process and affordable rates. I am confident my service needs are in the hands of a very capable, quality warranty provider.

I contracted with *** from end of 2017 to March 2018. In Dec 2017 *** called me to renew the contract. They told me they would charge me for 5 year but give me 6. I did not want this plan. I told them several times I only wanted 1 year. They had my credit card on file from the previous year so they charged me 4 payments of $437.50 totally $1750. In March I had an issue with my ice maker and the contractor came out, took the broken part with him and I've not heard back from him since. I spoke with *** and they said they wouldn't cover the claim but would give me $200 towards the claim. I never got a bill from *** because they never came back. I had a stove issue in June that *** said they would not cover. I called them on 7/9 to cancel my agreement and they told me they would only give me back $718. Then they sent me a contract release for $1413 and then they said that was no good and send another release 7/10 for $718.00 I will lose $1000 in this deal. I never signed a contract with *** nor have I received any contract paperwork from them via mail or email. In my opinion this is a scam.

7/11/2018COMPLAINT ID: ***To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you contacting us with the above referenced complaint. We at *** treat each complaint with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.

The customers policy term was from 12/05/2016 through 1/4/2017 and was due for renewal. A Sales Representative called the customer in December 2017. He was offered a multi year policy of 5 years plus 1 year free from 1/4/2017 through 3/5/2024 at a discounted rate which he accepted. We tried to charge the card on file and the charge did not go through so the customer provided us with another credit card to charge on 12/22/2017. We were not advised during this time he did not want the multi year policy.

On 3/2/2018 the customer placed a claim in for his Refrigerator Ice Maker stating it was not producing ice. We assigned a vendor who went out and diagnosed that it was not the ice maker that had an issue but the dispenser board failed. As per our policy the dispenser is not covered

K. Refrigerator Ice Maker

COVERED: Mechanical components and parts related to the kitchen refrigerator ice maker only, except:

NOT COVERED: Free standing ice makers; Freon; disposal and recapture of Freon; dispensers; ice crushers; water lines and valve to ice maker; line restrictions. We will pay no more than $200 per contract term for access, diagnosis, repair and/or replacement.

On 3/22/2018 when the customer was advised it was a non covered failure, he requested to cancel. In an effort to provide good customer service we offered goodwill of $200.00 to repair, although not covered, for this failure. The customer accepted and we advised the vendor. There was no request to cancel his multi year account until 4/26/2018 when we were advised the vendor had not been out to do the repair. We advised the customer we would reach out to the vendor and advise the repair needed to be completed. We were advised by the vendor had tried to reach the customer but had failed and stated he would reach out again. It was not until the customer called in on 7/9/2018 to cancel the policy that we were advised the repair was not done at which time we increased the goodwill offer to $350.00 which the customer declined.

In addition, the customer called on 5/25/2018 to advise the lights in his oven were not working, he was advised that the policy covers mechanical failures and the lights were not covered as per the policy

J. Oven/Range/Stove/Cooktop

COVERED: All mechanical components and parts, except:

NOT COVERED: Doors; door seals; hinges; handles; glass; knobs; lighting; clocks (unless they affect the cooking function of the unit); meat probe assemblies, rotisseries; racks and trays; downdrafts; range exhaust hoods; independent telescoping range exhaust; exhaust fan not solely for venting range/cooktop fumes; filters and screens; venting; sensi-heat burners will only be replaced with standard burners; drip pans; self-cleaning mechanisms including door latches; commercial units.

The customer called in again on 6/1/2018 to submit an Oven claim stating the lights are not working, he was advised again that oven lights are not covered. During each of these two calls, the customer did not request to cancel his multi year policy.

On 7/6/2018 at 6:55pm, the customer did request to cancel and was advised the Cancellation department was closed for the day. A Retention Manager contacted him on Monday 7/9/2018 to go over the cancellation and the customer was advised of the prorated refund he would receive.

XII. CANCELLATION

A. This Agreement may be cancelled by *** for the following reasons: (i) nonpayment of Agreement fees or other breach of this Agreement by the customer; (ii) nonpayment of Trade Service Call Fee, as stated in section IV; (iii) fraud or misrepresentation by the customer and/or customer representative of facts material to ***’s issuance of this Agreement; or (iv) a change in laws or regulations that has a material effect on the business of *** or ***’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

B. You may cancel this Agreement within the first thirty (30) days of the order date for a full refund of the paid contract fees, less any service costs incurred by us.

C. Mutual agreement of us and you. If this Agreement is canceled after thirty (30) days, you shall be entitled to a pro rata refund at the standard contract fee rate for the unexpired term, less a $50 administrative fee and any service costs incurred by us. If we have provided services and the amount of the service costs incurred by us is greater than the contract fees paid, then no refund will be due to you. All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing.

A policy is mailed to the customer when an account is opened which was done on 12/5/2016. A hard copy of the policy was sent again on 2/21/2017 which we also emailed him a PDF e-policy. He again requested a hard copy on 12/8/2017 which was sent to him along with emailing him a PDF e-policy.The policy is also located at *** under terms and conditions.

All claims have been properly serviced in accordance with the Service Agreement - all contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company.

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]

Complaint***

I am rejecting this response because:

I never once received anything in writing with a new contract including dates. Any time a legal binding contract is in place it should be followed with something in writing. I only have the contract that expired in March for the one year policy. I told them on numerous occassions that I did not want 5 years. Where is the recording of this? Angel admitted there is a recording but that he does not have access to it? Furthermore, there is nothing in writing that states the proration value. The only thing mentioned is the $50 cancellation fee and a prorated amount. I'm only 7 months into this new contract supposedly for 5 years. How can the proration be such that I am only getting back $718.00? And why did the original amount on the contract come over as $1413 and then it was changed. Because that is the amount I should be receiving. I am an elderly veteran and I feel like I have been totally taken advantage of.

The oven light turns out to impact the stove. I already paid for it and took care of it. It was a hazard and had to be fixed.

But since the *** seems to exlude everything of course they wouldn't fix it. They wouldn't even pay to have it looked. Just because I see a light doesn't mean that there's not something wrong with the stove itself.

BTW--Oscar at the appliance company said that the reason why he didn't come out sooner is because he was told multiple times that *** would not cover his call to my house. Then he was told he would be and then he was told he wouldn't. Which is it?

There are so many complaints against this company it is clear they have severe issues. They are taking advantage of people particularly elderly.

One last comment: They want to give me nothing to get out of this contract and they are tying my hands with regards to not being able to give any feedback about them on the internet. They want to me to settle for nothing, they need to remove the NDA and the part about me not being able to share my experience with them on the internet. They want to me to go away quietly then they need to be fair about the cancellation settlement.

I spoke with a Sales Rep. by the name ofDaniel B. I took out 5 contracts with Total Home Protection. Mr. B assured me that I would receive outstanding service with them. The contracts became effective 6/8/18.
I submitted separates which were all denied. I was uneasy with the reasons for denial of 2 claims. The last claim was for our stove. One of the burners went out. The technician recommended replacing the range since he was unable to locate the part. Now he never touched the range or look at the burner. I spoke with Felicia and wastold, they will not replace the range but they will send ud $290.00 to cover the cost for the part only. I agree since I made up my mind to locate the part myself. I made Total Protection aware of my decision. I was told that it will take 30 days to process the payment. I did a follow up call on July 3rd and kept getting placed on hold or either someone hung up on me. I was told by a customer service rep. That he could not speak with me since the policy was cancelled. I decided to cancel with them and go back to America Home Shield. I even went through the sales department and was placed on hold. No one ever came to the phone. I felt like they were placing me on hold only to avoid answering my question.

I was in the market for a home warranty plan after having to pay out of pocket for a ton of repairs in my home last year. Those repairs really put me in the hole. I did most of my research on Revdex.com, and Total Home was about the 6th warranty company I contacted, but they stood out the most because of my conversation with one of their reps, Jenny. Jenny was extremely knowledgeable about the company and their products, as well as the "real-world" happenings of their customers. She cited real examples of customer issues and how Total Home worked to fix them. Jenny really sold me on the usefulness of the warranty, and offered me a quote that was well within my budget. I decided to purchase a customized policy right then and there. If any of the other Total Home reps are like Jenny, I think I am in good hands.

I called Total Home Protection on May 30th with an issue regarding my HVAC not cooling. I was told somebody would contact me first thing the next morning to schedule a technician to come to my home. They didn't call me so I called them again on the 31st and discovered that my call had not been looked at yet. A work order was taken one again and I was told I would be contacted within the next 48 hours with a date the technician would be coming to my home. I was also informed at that time that they did not presently have a contract with any company in the state of Alabama so if I would like to get somebody I knew of to come out to do the repairs then they would reimburae my the cost. I didn't know of anyone so I told them I would stsy with a relative until I heard from them.After weeks without a response from them a coworker suggested I try the company she had used in the pass. On June 26 Ra*** Mechanical Services came to my home and repaired the HVAC. This is a list of the repairs and cost: Service Call=$75, Electrical Disconnect=$125, Contactor=$65, Labor=$90. This came to a total of $355, which I paid Mr. Ra***. I emailed the invoice to the claims department and CC it also to *** in the Resolution Dept. Today I was contacted be claims and informed I would be reimbursed $155 minus $45 for a total of $110. Of course I was not happy with these results so I spoke with Mr D who informed me he could only go so far as to not charge me the service fee so he would be sending my a check for $155. I have a very big complaint about this company selling me a home protection plan for $399 that can not provide services in my state. I would like to be fully reimbused for the repairs($355) and the cost of the plan ($399) but they refuse to do so.

The customer placed a claim for a Air Conditioner not coming on 5/31/2018. As we are not an emergency service and we did not have a vendor in the area with availability the customer was advised she could go through reimbursement. The diagnosis concluded that the cause of the failure was the contactor and the disconnect box had failed. The customer was advised that the claim was partially covered as we would reimburse for the contactor but the disconnect box is a non covered failure. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:
Regards,

***

As stated in my original complaint, the service call cost me $355 og which the contactor was only $65. I also had to pay for the Service Call $75 and the Labor $90. According to my contract with Total Home Protection I wouldd only have to pay $45 for a service call. I was told by *** they could and would only refund $155, take it or leave it.

If I had access to a technician that I only had to pay $45 there would be no problem. But I was oit of pocket a lot more than that. They still need to reimburse me $120 which is the difference between what I should have paid and what I actually paid.

I still need a refund od the price I paid for a service that can not be provided by Total Home Protection. Not a partial but a complete refund.

Also they need to be made to not sell agreements in states they have no contractors available.

Thank you

I've had a positive experience being a customer of this company. I recently called in the service line because I felt that my understanding of how to use my warranty was insufficient. I really wanted a refresher prior to me having to use my warranty. The young lady that helped me out over the phone was really great in providing service. She answered all of my questions in detail and give me a few helpful tips in getting the most out of my warranty. She was very knowledgeable and had lots of patience as I asked multiple questions and had a few concerns. I felt appreciated as a customer and was put at ease by the time we ended our conversation. Based on that experience and the great deal I got on my warranty, I’d highly recommend this company.

I have had some not the best experiences lately with customer service in this day and age of technology so to write this review is a treat. The recent customer service exchange I've had with this company is one of the warmest experiences I have had in while. The service was personal and very pleasant. The rep I spoke with listened attentively and helped me figure out what it was I was going to need to have my air conditioner malfunction resolved. This was the first time I was using my warranty for a repair, and I was really unsure of what to do. My husband had handled the claims process the last time we used it. All I wanted was to have my AC repaired. This is not the time of year to do without air conditioning and she was very understanding of that. The company sent someone out to fix my air conditioning the same week. The technician was actually on time (thank you!!), and really, really professional. He seemed genuinely happy and comfortable doing his job. The process was smooth and painless. I am extremely impressed with the care and attention I received during the entire process and I would recommend this company on the strength of their customer service alone.

These people falsely advertised on the internet as *** warranty service. Thinking it was the same company I paid two years. I specifically got the extra protection because we are on a well pump. They had no problem taking my money and assuring me everything was covered. Two month goes by and the well pump goes out. They then tell me it was a preexisting condition and its not covered. I asked the guy telling me this how would I know it was preexisting all I do is turn the water on or off. Some one in claims made the decision that it was preexisting. Even if they did cover it, its up to 500 bucks. This is not what the salesman told me.

I signed up for the Platinum plan from Total Home protection. Then, I had to file a claim for services when my central air conditioning broke down. They sent me the name of a local contractor to come assess the problem. It took a week and a half for this guy to even show up. He diagnosed the problem and I paid him the $60 dollar deductible. It then took him another two weeks to submit the information the underwriters who denied the claim as "pre-existing" since the last time my central air was on was last summer. I live in Pennsylvania where we get cold winter weather so of course my central air wasn't on during the winter months. They then informed me that when I signed up that an underwriter was supposed to ensure all of my appliances were operational within thirty days of signing up (This never happened, their salesman called me, signed me up and took my money out of my bank account for the monthly fee. No underwriter ever showed up at my house to look at anything.) When I complained, I was informed that they would send me a reimbursement form for the $60.00 (This also never happened) I ended up spending $300.00 to get my central air fixed on my own. When I called to cancel, the operator was rude, and ignorant I cancelled my policy and the cancellation email states in bold print that I am not entitled to any reimbursements for anything. This company engages in false advertising and deceptive business practices.

*** placed a claim for the Air Conditioner on 6/10/2018. During the initial claim call-in questionnaire, we asked the consumer when was the last time the unit was working properly, and the consumer stated 9/17/2017. As per the terms of service:

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: How can I possibly have known about the air conditioning not working until it was turned on for this (2018) summer season. I live in a region of the country where my air conditioner does not run 12 months a year since we get winter, snow and extremely cold temperatures which require HEAT not air conditioning. At the time the system was shut down for the season on 09/17/2017, it was working fine. Again, I reiterate what was stated in the original complaint. The representative who cancelled my policy informed me that Total Home Protection was supposed to send out an underwriter within the first thirty days of my signing up to verify all appliances "covered" by their warranty program were functional. This never occurred. The sales rep took my name, address, phone number and credit card number over the phone and initiated the policy by the very act of a withdraw of the first month's premium 1 day later. What the response also fails to address is that I was told I would be refunded the $60.00 deductible which was paid directly to the contractor who finally showed up after a week and a half of phone calls and texts, however, when I called to cancel my policy and informed the representative about the refund conversation, I was informed matter of fact that "If I cancel the policy, they won't even look at a reimbursement form or request from me". So, I was told two different things again by different representatives of the same company. This company is a sham and should be held accountable for telling people that their belongings are "covered" and then when the need arises to use the service, they find any and every loophole available to them to not actually have to pay out for the repairs.

Total Home Protection properly addressed this complaint and cited applicable sections of the policy, which are grounds for denial of coverage. All home service contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. In this case the Air Conditioner failure was as a result of a non-covered condition. The policy states that the unit must enter the policy on the effective date in proper working condition. The policy effective date is 6/10/2018, the same day the claim was placed.

On or about May 29, 2018, I called this company at a location near me. When I "AGREED" to sign on, I absolutely verified everything the "contract" would offer. I was VERY specific regarding my questions. The guy's name Eli A. PLEASE get that recording and listen for yourself. I asked him specifically about my home. He offered the best plan, which would "cover everything" to me. It cost more money but I did it anyway for three years. Your advertising of "Total Home" is fake and you are misrepresenting what you offer. I was guaranteed, "everything in my home, appliances, yard, pool, gate, and whatever else "may or can" happen. What a lie. First of all, I would not pay for a top plan if it didn't cover "EVERYTHING". Secondly, you state for something that may or could happen in your recordings and when something did happen, I was informed rudely that I have a 30-day waiting period. I was shocked because I was not informed of this because there are other companies who waived that. Had I known, I would have been better able to make a decision on whether or not to choose you. Thirdly, I have repeatedly called to get help and when your employees speak down to me, I did become angry and upset. Then I was told that "I'm sorry, that is a preexisting condition and we don't cover those". I was like what?? Are you kidding me?? The entire home is preexisting, hence the reason for a warranty. Then, I get a call from some air conditioning company that I couldn't google, and they said that only "two" of my air conditioners would be covered and they won't pay to fix it to get it working right. I was like what?? Please tell me WHY WHY WHY I would go with your company and then exclude part of my "TOTAL" home. Everything I was "PROMISED AND GUARANTEED" must be honored.

Coverage starts 30 days after acceptance of application by us and receipt of applicable Agreement fees and continues for 365 days from that date. We reserve the right to waive the 30-day grace period so long as you provide proof or prior coverage, showing no lapse of coverage, from another home service provider. Waiving of the 30-day waiting period is at the sole discretion of us.

The customer then placed an Air Conditioner claim on 6/28/2018 for the unit not cooling stating the last time it was working was 5/28/2018. Again the customer was advised this was a pre existing condition as the last time working was 5/28/2018. As a good will gesture we advised we would send a vendor to determine the failure.

This policy covers mechanical failures of the Appliances, AC and Heating system. We also offer Optional Coverages which include pool/spa, septic, etc . We cover standard electrical and plumbing failures. At no time would this customer be advised of items in or around her home that would be covered when the policy clearly states what it is covered. We are unable to provide a service that is not listed as we do not have vendors for those types of repairs. Our policy is available 24 hours 7 days a week on our website and may be reviewed at any time at https://www.totalhomeprotection.com/terms

In an effort to provide good customer service we assigned a vendor to the Air Conditioner claim. We were advised by the customer that the vendor was not responding but when we reached out to the vendor they advised they had been trying to reach the customer with no response. The customer stated that she was suppose to have Pool coverage which did not reflect on the policy. We added that to her account as a courtesy with no additional charge.

We have reviewed the recorded conversation and at no time was the customer advised "everything" is covered, including her yard, TV, gates or whatever else.

In order to resolve, we are offering the customer a full refund.

We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company; however, this claim does fall outside the scope of coverage.

You are skirting the issue here about your lying salesman and what 'I paid for' and the nonsense I'm fighting. I have a lawyer and have every intention of demanding what I was sold". You can site contract words all you want. I ONlY PAID for a "Total Home" warranty and that's not what I'm getting. Please provide a contact phone number so my lawyer can contact you since you have REFUSED to even call me. You sold me a bt contract that isnuseldss. I plan on addressing my home issues and gathering up ally receipts so that You can reimburse me. As well, your Eastern customer service reps could CARE LESS about serving Texas. I signed up with a local office and get routed to people who lie and decieve consumers into signing up. Honor what I WAS PROMISED when the ONLY reason I signed up with your company was based in what your salesman promised me. You are skirting the issue and flat out refusing to honor what I PAID FOR.

I have an A/C Unit in my home made in 2002. During that time evaporator coils were made with copper, not aluminium like they are in todays market. Since copper is a metal and the innate nature of an A/C system requires that fluid runs through the coil which creates an electrical charge that will eventually cause rust and or corrosion. There is no preventative measure that can be take to avoid this issue.

My system has developed a leak in the evaporator coils due to this unpreventable law of physics, yet, *** will not cover the claim because they add an obscure clause in their contract which states that if there is rust or corrosion on anything, it is not covered.

This, in my opinion, is a deceptive business practice. Mechanical items do not break down without some type of corrosive activities taking place. This is their way of taking money from paying customers without providing anything in return and it is a shame that companies such as these are allowed to get away with praying on the innocent public without being held responsible for returning the favor.

A contractor for the washer/dryer is across town 60 miles and gives me a window of 2 hours. Wasn't going to work for me--I do not live there. The only have one Washer/Dryer contractor?! The answer is YES. How limited is that. Then I wanted to cancel Angel, a manager of Retention is going to take half of the money to cancel the two policy that I wanted to cancel. He was not kind about it--not warm or concerned. Spoke to me as if we were in a brawl on the streets. I paid $386.00 for each home. He wanted to give me 174. and some change back for each policy. How ludicrious is that. Never again!!! I will not renew with these people. They are rude and have no customer service skills. I used to teach it--so I know it. I will go back with Choice Home Warranty next year. I changed and really only changed because they seemed to have more. They fooled me. They are liars. We know the grass is not greener on the other side. And this is the truth. I am sorry I changed to be honest.

Thank you contacting us with the above referenced review. We at Total Home Protection treat each review with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.
The customer submitted claims on 6/29/2018 for a Washer and a Dryer stating the dryer was not heating and the washer would not come on. We assigned a vendor on the same day. The customer contacted us to advise that the vendor was only able to come within a 2 hour window which did not work for her. All appointments have a time window as an exact time can not be given. Although there are other vendors in our system, she stated she wanted to cancel the policy. We advised she could go through reimbursement where she can get her own vendor who could accomodate a better time for her but she refused and wanted to cancel the policy which was processed as outlined in the Terms & Conditions of the policy. An applicable refund of $236.91 was refunded on 7/16/2018.

I am very satisfied with the exceptional customer service provided to me by Paula at Total Home this past week. She was very professional and clear on how to file a claim. Paula was mindful that I didn't have much time to talk so she sent me a email further explaining all the fine print. Now if I'm ever in a situation where I need to act quickly in filing a claim, I can do so comfortably with Paula's instructions.

I have been dealing with this company for a while I had a plumbering issue which the contract says they take care of and they decline the work they was suppose to do and I was charge $265.12 dollars for the work. Then I later put in a claim for my electrical work which the contract state that they cover and it was denied. I later had trouble with my ac now I call in for it to get fix and then they denied this claim and I'm heating the death in my home.

On 12/11/17 an Elecrical claim was place, stating the circut breakers were tripping. The diagnosis was that the busbar failed. As per the policy

On 5/24/2018 a claim was placed for the Air Conditioner constantly running. During the initial claim call-in questionnaire, we asked the consumer when was the last time the unit was working properly, and the consumer stated June 2017. As per the terms of service:

? This Agreement does not cover any known or unknown pre-existing conditions.

? Coverage applies to the systems and components mentioned as “covered” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement so long as such systems and components are in place and in proper working order on the effective date of this Agreement

Coverage went into effect on July 1, 2017. Being that the unit was not working properly in June 2017, this is absolute definition of a “pre-existing condition” and NOT in proper working order on the effective coverage start date of July 1, 2017. In an effort to provide good customer service we offered a free service charge fee which the customer rejected.

The customer had submitted multiple claim which were covered, unfortunately these were not. The customer requested to cancel on 6/18/18.

We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company.

We at *** have an unwavering commitment to uphold our founding ideals to provide industry-leading home warranty products and exceptional services to the customers we're privileged to serve. If you have any further questions, please contact us at ***

Sincerely,Laura D ***Toll Free:

I have paid this company on time every month, and when it came to time for this company to provide me services for the money I have been paying them, they dropped the ball every time. My first claim took them over 3 weeks to get completed and I had to call over and over just for them to get in contact with "their contractor.

Shortly after that, I filed a second claim and I received a call from THP asking me to find a contractor to fix my pool hardware (Claim #: ***). They keep telling me find a contractor and then sent us the invoice. Well I did that and now they saying we only paying you 70$.

This company is scammer, stay away.

Total Home Protection properly addressed this review and cited applicable sections of the policy, which are grounds for partial coverage of this claim. All home service contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. In this case the Pool/Spa failure was as a result of partial coverage as the customer reached his CAP for this portion of his policy. The customer has requested to cancel his policy which we honored on 6/14/2018.

We sincerely apologize for your negative experience. For additional assistance, please reach out to us 1-800-545-0402.Sincerely,Laura DonovanTotal Home ProtectionToll Free: (800) 545-0402Hours: Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 6:00pm EST

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: as you can see they gave 2 different responses. Now they are saying partial coverage so they don't have to pay me my money back. It's ok I will be going to the ml military on this one to have them banned from serving military personal. Scammers, scammers, scammers
