This was my first claim. The garbage disposal wasn't running. The service company called the same day and made an appointment for the next day. The technician showed up on time. The technician was knowledgeable. He explained the problem to us, replaced the breaker which was the problem, and fixed it for us.

Lost heat in the house. Sent an online problem report to CHW. Next day a technician came who diagnosed the problem, ordered a part, it came next day and was installed right away professionally. The house is nice and warm again. THANK YOU CHOICE HOME WARRANTY for a job well done.

I have tried to use CHW three times - each time more disappointed than before. I had in an email from salesperson that CHW would “replace with same make and model or if discontinued would upgrade to newest most comparable like for like unit.” They offered $650 tops for our refrigerator, plus it would take at least 30 days to get payment. This is for a $2000+ unit. I would NEVER EVER recommend this company.

Bought 3 years warranty from a pushy salesman and when we have needed them they cite maximum payout clause that was not in our agreement 4 times we have needed them. Refrigerator failed and they offered $500 when replacement was $3000. Pool equipment failure and they offered $500 when costs were $1000. Air-conditioning failure and they paid $500 for $1700 repairs. THEN they tell us it takes 30 days to get paid so no AC and no Refrigerator for 30 days... Worst company I have ever dealt with.

I made a claim on 2-14-18 for service of water heater and immediately was denied coverage without any service tech assessing the situation. I then contacted Cindy ** on 12-15-18 who stated to appeal the claim. I then appealed the claim, and then a service company called and service stated that they could not come out until 12-18-18. At that time I stated I was a disable veteran and could not be without hot water for that period time. I then reached out to some veterans who then came in and replaced the water heater.
I made a complaint with the BBB and stated what I was told by CHW. CHW then offered me $250.00 for repairs, but the actual amount for repairs was $654.70. Now I was told on 12-21-18 it would take 30 days to receive the $250.00. All this could have been avoided if CHW would have honored my warranty and sent out a service company to make the repairs. This is the second time I have had issues with CHW when it clearly states that this part is covered. A class action Lawsuit is needed to stop this foolishness.

I called about the problem with our dryer. I got through to a person and they opened a ticket. A local repair man texted and emailed when he would arrive. He showed when he said he would. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I believe the amount I have to pay for the technician is too high when I pay month after month to choice.

I have submitted 3 claims on my warranty in 2018. In February I could not get my wifi thermostat to work. In October several outlets in my kitchen stopped working. In both cases, I submitted a claim CHW scheduled an appointment without notice. The appointment came and went and no one showed up. In February I had my HVAC company fix the issue because CHW ended up closing the claim on me without notice. In October, they scheduled 3 different appointments, the first of which was with a company that did not work in my state, and the other two never showed up. CHW then closed my claim without notice. After 4 weeks of missed appointments, I refiled a new claim for the same issue and CHW did the same thing. All the while they auto-debited my card without my permission. With information from a one-time payment.
This company is a complete scam. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. I paid $41.38 every month the entire year of 2018 and CHW never once addressed any of the claims. I called to cancel and get a refund and they gave me a hard time about canceling and refused to issue any refund. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM.

I was very disappointed with the amount of money I had to pay. I had to pay the company that you all sent out $500. It was as if I didn't have a warranty. I can not afford paying for a warranty and putting out this kind of money, therefore I am canceling this warranty. If I have to pay this kind of money I might as well not have a warranty. My heater without about 4days ago and it was heating good then it wouldn't reach temperature. Never would I have thought that it was going to cost me (with a warranty) this amount of money. Therefore again I am canceling my warranty.

The service man arrived very quickly after the claim was submitted. He was very knowledgeable and had my furnace up and running in a timely manner. The only thing that took more time than it should have is when the technician called in to Choice Home Warranty and was on hold for 30 minutes. That wasted a lot of time. That is why I entered a 3 for "Customer Service". Otherwise, the experience was pleasant and the outcome exceptional.

One call and a couple of emails and our garage door was fixed. It was a simple fix by the repairman but it made a huge difference to us. He showed us how to get it back on track if it jumped track again. He took the fear of the unknown out of it. The Tech at CHW did a good job. It looked like it would take 48 hours to get someone to us so they offered to let us do it but we didn't know anyone so we demurred. The repairman showed up the next day. He was in the area and finished another job early and wanted to come by and see what our issues were and if it was an easy fix. It was. Thanks.

The service call was excellent. I was very disappointed with the decision to spend all that money on pump replacement instead of getting a new dishwasher unit for almost the same cost.

Henry ** called me to go over everything. The thing I liked best is he had longevity with the company and he would be my account manager. I had another company for my daughters house currently, and the coverage here is way better and WAY less expensive. He worked out a 3 year plan with BONUS months at less than half the cost of the other company. Then he worked an even better price and service fee for me for 3 houses. I had to pay up front but it was well worth it.
I am expecting a great experience with Choice Home Warranty. I hope I never have to use it, but if I do, I feel very confident it will be done professionally. Another plus is I can use my own vendor if I first have it approved by them. When I called to cancel the other company, I'm waited for over half an hour for AHS to cancel. Their service was not ever that good. Glad I changed... and have peace of mind.

Let me start out with the only reason I gave them a star was because it’s required to post my review. Choice Home Warranty deserves no stars. Horrible customer service & fraudulent technicians. I canceled my policy because of out of the 3 claims I put in, I was only qualified for one to be fixed under the warranty. So as I was trying to cancel with customer service I was asked why & I said because I was wasting my money. As he was going through my policy history, they now wanted to compensate me half of the claims that weren’t approved. I still said no because it should had been covered when the claim was put in. He also mentioned that the plumber from the second claim came out, said the problem was fixed & billed Choice Home Warranty.
I was told by the plumber that they needed to cut into my ceilings to access the problem & that’s wasn’t covered in my policy. So after we discussed situation further & showed him where I thought the problem was coming from, he checked it and said he didn’t think it was covered. But he would submit the claim. The claim he submitted was for job completed. I was told it was denied. As the customer service agent kept speaking it was just confirmation that I really needed to continue with the purpose I calling for. So I proceeded with the process.
After days later I noticed my bank account was charged again by Choice Home Warranty. I called them & was put through the same guy who I canceled my policy with. He now wanted to tell me that he waived $50 fee & I wasn’t due a credit. Because he didn’t charge me the cancellation $50 fee. I asked him what does that have to do with charging me after I canceled my policy. He said it was cheaper than the cancellation fee. So if you’re looking for reputable home warranty company that will send out trustworthy & reliable technicians & won’t don’t just take your hard earned money stay away from Choice Home Warranty.

My tenant had a heating problem which was reported mid-November. The local company (AAA Heating) was very slow to service and taking forever to repair the item. It wouldn't be so bad, but they are awful in communicating. I already called Choice Warranty and reported the problem. Yesterday, I received an email from Choice saying that AAA Heating will stop by the property between 3pm - 8pm to repair the heater and I called AAA to follow-up. AAA said, that they are not coming and that they are waiting for the part to arrive. They said they never reported this information to Choice Warranty and did not know why Choice was providing with this erroneous information.

Amy was awesome. The follow up hard sell call was ridiculous. When some says, "I have an appointment I have to get ready for," you don't keep talking. You say, "Thank you have a nice day."

If not for the rudeness of the second call from someone claiming to be her supervisor, I would have given 5 stars.

I expected a repair or replacement of a like machine but was offered a cash offer to purchase another machine versus your company cost to repair or replace. The cash offer was a lower end average offer and told it would be a month to receive the check. I would have expected to receive the check within 5 to 10 business days since my machine went out of service 12/14 and waited till 12/16 for service review and paid $60 for a service call and had to then proceed to get a replacement machine.
On a scale of 5 being the best, I give you a 2.7, slightly less then average (3) for satisfied with the experience. The tech was prompt and professional but did not give me any repair cost information. What is the authorized cost of repair that a tech can do on site for future reference since I have other appliances and systems under this plan. My wife is now unhappy with me for suggesting that she switch her prior service to yours.

I had a claim on a washing machine and dishwasher that I opened in May of 2018. A specialist came out and took a look and they charged me the $60 and said they needed to get parts. They scheduled a date to come back so I took the day off work and no one showed up. I called and could not get a hold of an actual person. I was on hold for 45 minutes to an hour each time. In December of 2018 when it was time to renew I got MULTIPLE calls daily to renew but could not get my claim finalized. I finally got someone to schedule a new tech to come fix the issues and a date was scheduled and yet again no one showed up.
Then they told me to give the tech the "benefit of the doubt" and scheduled him to come out again and HE NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN! I was still getting calls to renew and through them I got them to forward me to someone to schedule yet another tech to come out. That one came and was nice and fixed the washer and said he needed to order parts for the dishwasher and I would get a call to schedule them to come out. I later got an email saying that they were not going to cover it. It took 7 months, 3 missed days of work and 3 techs to tell me they would not cover it. Do not waste your time and money with this company. Choose someone else!

Be warned if you ever try to cancel this policy even if they told you you would get any amount back that was not used, that is not true. Per the email below from Sales Rep Barry ** I was told that I could cancel my policy at any time and receive the entire amount back that was unused. I have dealt with other home warranty companies and he assured me none of those issues would apply here. When I canceled my policy, not ONE of these charges were mentioned which totaled $782 in fees, but when I received the amount back it was only $268 for ten months of use after I paid $1050 for three years.
Barry **'s email: "As oppose to taking it 1 year at a time. If you took the policy out for 3 years I can lower the rate down to $350.00 per year for 3 years. It would be a total of $1050.00. We would give you 6 Months free of coverage for FREE and the service call would go down from $60 to $45.00. The reason people like to go this way is because your rates are locked in for life so after the 3.6 years when you want to renew you can renew at $350.00 and a $45.00 service call fee for as long as you are with us. If you move or sell the home within the 3.6 years you can transfer the policy to any other home in the country, or to any new buyer of your home. This is also not a contract so if you wanted to cancel the policy at any time you can do so and get a refund for the time you didn't use. You can reach me at **." This company is such a fraud and BEWARE to anyone else who uses them.

I purchased a home in September of 2018, and had the home inspected and agreed to purchase a home warranty to cover possible issues which might arise. In November of 2018 the hot water went out and called to have repaired or replaced. I paid the required fee of 60.00 which was my portion and what I was told would be my total cost by the sales agent for coverage.
I got a notice the water heater was not covered because it was apparently a tank issue. I would like to point out no one took any parts off the water, examined it internally or anything, just stated water tank irreparable. I got an email stating coverage denied due to water tank failure. I had 7 days to appeal, need to say I appealed immediately and was informed someone would contact me within 7 days. Guess what. No one called. Have been fighting with them ever since and had to pay 1134.00 dollars for a new water heater, and reported to BBB and NC DOJ to investigate. If need be will take this case to small claims if necessary. I don't know how they say water is covered yet deny every part of a water heater?
I guess if necessary will let Judge decide. Oh and on a side note requested contact information to file case in NC so they could be served and they refused to provide name or address of representative in NC, said, "Serve us in NJ." I would strongly encourage everyone even considering purchasing a home warranty plan avoid Choice Home Warranty at all cost.

Worst experience with a home warranty. My issue is still not resolved. I have been without hot water for 5 days. The first time ever using my warranty vendor refused the job for non payment by you. Your reps are very unprofessional. In all the calls I made there was only one that was able to give me the number to an actual vendor who came out and determined that I needed an electrician instead of a plumber. I'm still waiting two days later for one to accept the job. The only other option you offer is that I locate a vendor myself and pay them and then be reimbursed. I paid for this so I wouldn't have that headache of having to pay myself. You have breached this contract. I have not received service even as I write this.

I had two properties covered by Choice. My first claim was the AC, tech came out, diagnosed it, Choice say it's not a covered component, OK, I'll pay to fix it. Next claim was on the other property, I found a hole in an AC duct, checked the coverage, definitely covered. Called it in, the tech came out, nice guy but of large stature, he couldn't get into a position to see the hole. He therefore and logically, called it in saying he needed to take some other ducts off to see the problem. I was there listening, that is exactly what he said.
Choice immediately emailed me saying the claim was denied because the duct had collapsed. I emailed back saying that this cannot be correct. Ended up talking to a lady who said, I summarize, her word was law, there was no appeal, there was no opportunity for a second inspection (I even offered to pay for it). Ended up with the BBB, regrettably I was out of the country when they sent the second reply and did not respond in time so they closed it, but it definitely wasn't settled.
So OK, they're a warranty company who don't like to pay claims. The pain really starts when your coverage ends and you do not renew, I'm getting 6 telemarketing calls a day, asking to go onto a 'no call' list means nothing, block them and they call from other numbers. Unsubscribing from their emails only encourages them. They are the worst sort of telemarketers. In short, don't buy a policy from them, they will try very hard to avoid paying a claim, and if you do not renew they will make your life miserable.

I purchased a CHW on year contract in August 2018. In December 2018, the compressor in my heat pump went out. The claim was denied as CHW advised that it was not considered a wear and tear item and was ineligible under their contract. Based on CHW response, any repair could be determined as not eligible and a reason could be made that any covered appliance or system failed due to issues not considered normal wear and tear. This company is a waste and I cancelled the contract at a significant loss of the original cost and must now also pay for the repair already having paid for the service call on the issue. CHW was not only a waste of my money, but also a waste of my time. I would not recommend this company to any of my friends or neighbors nor any of my retired military or AARP members.

I reported a claim for my furnace not working at 6:30 in the morning. It took 6 plus hours for a technician to contact me and he said he could come out the NEXT DAY. I told him that was unacceptable. He then said he would come out by 4pm. When he got there he said a part had to be replaced and he would see if he could locate it and get authorization to fix it. He called me after he left to say the part was not available and would have to be ordered. It could take 5 - 10 DAYS TO GET IT. Totally unacceptable. When I suggested replacement (suggested part would not have fixed the problem) he balked at that. I have a son recovering from surgery and going without heat in December is not an option. I ended up replacing my furnace at my own expenses and want to be reimbursed up to the amount allowed for my furnace.

Charlie ** worked with me to set up an appliance insurance plan a month and a half ago to get insurance on all of my appliances that were roughly 5 years of age. Initially I was very happy as I got 6 years of INCREASED coverage for a good price (so I thought). From what I could read online on their webpage and what Charlie had mentioned in our conversations, I was made to believe I had a personalized account manager and appliance insurance company that would take care of all of my needs. After 32 days in the program, my washing machine started to leak... Still worked but had a small leak. I was upset at first but realized this would fall under the program... I filed a claim with Charlie ** and he again seemed to be trustworthy as he made no mention of any issues with the claim. A serviceman was scheduled and my policy fee of $60 for the service call was paid in addition to the nearly $2,000 for 6 years of coverage.
As the serviceman came to the house, I mentioned where the leak was coming from. Without pulling any panels or pulling the machine out to look at it, he told me I had a bad transmission and seals needed to be replaced. Amazing that he knew this without looking at anything. Literally, just took a picture of the make and model sticker inside the unit. The next day I got an email stating that Choice Home Warranty would not process the claim due to the timing of the repair... Again the machine had a leak 32 days into the insurance plan, 30 days was the minimum before a claim could be made. They stated the break had to have happened before my policy went into effect... This is not true, and I do not appreciate a company lying about their coverage then have the audacity to attack my character. My insurance coverage was live and I should be able to use it as intended.
What is the point of getting insurance coverage with a company and not being able to use it?! They are so quick to take your money but then when it comes time to use your service they pick and choose what they want to pay for. After complaining about this to "resolutions department" he tried to tell me that they would put $299 towards my repair... This repairman told us that the cost of this repair was about the cost of a new unit (if that's even what needs to be repaired). This company is not trustworthy! They went back on their word because they just do not want to pay for the unit/repair. I have canceled my policy and will be taking it to AS MANY review outlets and through "word of mouth" as possible in an effort to help others avoid this SCAM. I will also be reaching out to the BBB. They should be helping people however they are only hurting people and going back on their word when it comes time to actually use your insurance.

Recently I had two ceiling fans that needed replaced. Choice sent two contractors out that could not do the job and the 3rd refused to work with Choice and I had to go through a self reimbursement process to get the job done. Once I received the reimbursement amount I was shocked. The amount wasn't even a third of what I had to spend.

Technician indicated two parts are needed and said we will start there (really). Submitted report and of course CHOICE denied our claim. Submitted appeal 12/9 and was told someone would call back in 4 hours... NOT TRUE. NO heat and just received a call 12/11. Claim manager was HELPLESS, indicating that technician said our furnace was poorly maintenance. Not true just service and have paperwork to prove it. Now still no heat and have to wait for them to contact CHOICE with pics.
On top of that technician says, I have customers that report claims for appliances and when I get their they have none and CHOICE sends them a check. So that tells me you have some shady crooked business going on and then tells me he is 2 years from becoming a lawyer. I informed CHOICE I do not want this technician back at my home period.

Updated 12/14/2018 : This is in response to CHW saying they resolved my claim. Here is the situation - water heater burned up around thermostat, filed claim, service person came out and inspected damage. He stated he had to get approval for repair but noted unit was beyond repair and would need replacement. He also stated CHW does not replace appliances, that same day claim was denied due to exclusions. CHW offered $100 for me to repair water heater, the quote given me by the service person was $1200.
I explained to CHW that $100 did not cover repairs or replacement, CHW then offered $200 stating they did not cover this type of damage (?), told them this was unacceptable. 4 day have now gone by boiling water on the stove so we could bathe. I have since installed a replacement water heater. Yes, CHW has this listed as 'resolved' - it is far from that as this is their third instance of refusing a claim due to exclusions. They advertise that if it cant be repaired it will be replaced. They did neither.
Original review: Been trying to work with these people for several years. Kept renewing my contract in hopes if something broke I could get it repaired on my limited budget. My last claim was for the water heater, it had an electrical short and burned up the regulator and thermostat rendering the unit unrepairable. They denied the replacement since a simple repair of the thermostat would 'fix' the problem. I explained to the adjuster that the insulation and body of the unit had been damaged.
And when the plumber inspected the unit he even said he would not replace the thermostat as there was no way to ensure it to work properly let alone fit back into the damaged area. "Doesn't matter" they said, "only thing we do is repair." This is the same story I've gotten before. Refrigerator is broken - "we don't fix that part", (ice maker, door gasket) - leaky faucet - "we don't fix those" (it was the shower). In other words if it's broke, you fix it. "We are here to help" NEVER. 3rd strike - you're out!

I hold the 'ultimate' plan and submitted a claim for a garage door opener that would not close the garage door. The claim was quickly picked up by a local garage door repair vendor. When I called the garage door vendor, they even accommodated a faster appointment time. It turned out the opener was beyond repair, they validated with Choice Home Warranty that the replacement was covered. Then they replaced it.
Fast forward a month and I receive a phone call from the garage door repair vendor stating Choice Home Warranty has over $10,000 in outstanding invoices due. He's a small business and cannot afford to allow them to default on them. He'd contacted his attorney and been advised to give notice to homeowners and Choice Home Warranty that he would be filing for liens against every property with an outstanding balance! I can't blame him; he paid people to do the work and for the parts. If Choice Home Warranty has an agreement to pay him, they need to pay. But at the same time, I can't have a lien placed against my home. So I had no choice but to pay the invoice.
The sad thing is, a month prior I had a small plumbing issue that I filed a claim for. The first plumbing company to pick up the claim told me they would only do the work if I paid for it directly and worked to get reimbursed by Choice Home Warranty later because Choice never paid them...

Technicians won't hold for 40 minutes waiting for authorization. Hence the total lack of communications, I was told that there was a high demand for authorizations, so hire some more CSRs.

I have been with American Home Shield since 2005 and although they charge more than you, they have fixed everything in my house. No matter what. Your list of what you won't fix is bigger than my AHS policy. Cancel my account... and return my money.

Great service on this plumbing request this time. The technician did really great job! Arrived on time, repaired items requested, replaced the parts that did not work. I would recommend this to anyone who has rental properties. It was easy to submit the claim and schedule the appointment.

Service was good but I was disappointed that the replacement of 2 items would not be done due to their continued operation and that they had not failed. Learned a lesson, failure is a must have for a service call.

My issue is more with the local contractor of choice. They don't give updates, they don't follow up. I have to call them. Parts were received last Tuesday but they did not call me for scheduling. I had to call them today - Friday - just to see what their plans are. They said they need one more part, but not coming from Choice Home Warranty. And they didn't do this during the 10 days they were waiting for the main parts sent by Choice? Still no commitment on their part on when to come back.

I purchased my home about 3 years ago and figured since I put most of my cash down that just in case something went wrong I would cover myself with Choice Home Warranty. It seemed like a good deal for covering myself for nearly 4 years. I'm about 2 months removed from my policy ending when my AC isn't cooling anymore. I call Choice up and they send a HVAC tech out and I pay the $45 for them to tell me my Freon is low. That's all they do that day and before they can refill it they have to a pressure test to make sure there isn't a line leak. That's all well and good until I find out pressure tests aren't covered by the warranty.
The HVAC company won't fix the AC until the pressure test is done but now I have to pay out of pocket for the pressure test before they fix it. They said the pressure test was not covered as it is general maintenance. I complained that it isn't and part of the repair but to no avail. Long story short I still have a broken AC unit, paid $45 fee for basically nothing, and have to pay out of pocket to fix my AC unit over $200. Only made the one claim over the life of the policy and this is how they treat their customers. Horrible waste of money and as you can tell I will not be renewing.

The buttons on the microwave didn’t work... So they summited a claim. It wasn’t worth fixing it. So they decided to pay me what it was worth. That way I can get a new microwave. The process was simple and easy. I’m just waiting 30 days to get the check. Now to look into new microwaves.

Had D&M Door out to repair faulty garage door opener, thought it was fixed. However when I got home later that evening, it still didn't work. Not really disappointed in the contractor; he was on time and professional, these things happen and the repair will require more troubleshooting. However he's not available again until Tuesday 12/11, so we need another contractor lined up ASAP! When I called CHW last night at 7:45 EST, I received a recording saying closed, and hours were 9 AM-8 PM EST, so why wasn't I able to talk to someone?! It would have really been nice to actually be able to talk to someone about this last night, to get started on lining up another contractor. I will call back 9 AM EST today.

It has been great having a relationship with Choice. They have been responsive every time I have called. ONCE there was a problem and they fixed it immediately. I'd recommend Choice to everyone. They were very helpful when some of my appliances broke. They were there to either fix them or help us pay for them.

We had a routine winter service "tuneup" or inspection on our two furnaces 11/27. We were told that our primary unit needed a new heat exchange and had to be shut off to stop carbon monoxide from coming into the house. At that point we began relying on a smaller upstairs unit and have had limited ability or desire to use the main floor since then. Within the hour, I immediately notified CHOICE of a claim since we got a home warranty through them when we purchased the home 6 months ago.
They tell us we have to use a technician in their network. I find out that the firm I had already used was no longer in their network. As it turned out, no local HVAC firms appear to be in their network. Their tech came 2 days later, 2 hours beyond the window I was promised from his place of business over two hours away. He spends about 30 minutes here. Same conclusion as our technician. Almost 10 days later, CHOICE has made no decision on the failed HVAC. In the meantime, 2nd unit goes out since it has been on constant overload without the other one. We now have no heat, no decision and it's 25 degrees outside.
Answers from CHOICE read like "auto reply" responses in requests for action. Claim is "under review" or they need "more information from technician." When I notify them that 2nd unit has failed, I am told that I have to get pre-authorization from them for that work to be covered. The only reason for that is their failure to act. They have not acted in almost 10 days and it's cold both inside and outside. I call the same local firm that did the original inspection at the outset. I was told that the reason they are no longer with CHOICE is that they pulled out of the network was that they had trouble getting paid by CHOICE. My experience exactly. I could not be more dissatisfied with this company and strongly urge other homeowners to avoid them.

I requested for my FREE service call, but when meeting with technician, he said there is NO way without paying for service call and said if I don't pay, he will shot down the pilot of water heater (He found out the problem without hot water is pilot is off), so I am forced to pay him $45.

The representative was too pushy, I almost decline choosing them as a warranty provider. I signed up for only one year to see if they actually follow through with their commitments regarding the covered service items. There was limited information concerning what is not actually covered regarding each of the items listed on their website. When the representative was asked for additional information all he did was list the items being covered but fail to provide any information of what is not covered.

I’d give the warranty company a 5. Put in a claim (AC not cooling) and got an email back with an appointment for next day. Amazing response. Only thing is company that came out wasn’t very professional. I’d give them 2 maybe 3 stars. Had two people come out. One watched and was on the phone most of the time while the other worked and they made a few comments about my dog being tied up which was unfair remarks as I tied them up because we had the company coming out. He stated he was on a short leash and was going to call humane society because dog was neglected and nobody loves him. Sorry my dogs are well taken care of. Thank you very much. And I Have it all on camera which is very sad to hear from a company who I thought should be respectful and professional. Otherwise they fixed the problem. But I won’t knock the review because of one bad company. Hoping if I ever have another issue it will go way better.
