After using American Home Shield, an excellent company, for many years, I made the huge mistake of dealing with Choice Home Warranty. Jack White, their sales rep. & a liar, convinced me to buy a 42 month plan at price of 36 month warranty. Of cource if I'm not satisfied I'll receive a pro-rated refund. About 40 days into contract I had a claim. Problems started when their contractor never contacted me, they told me to get my own repair service, which I did. Problems got even worse when this heat & air company, 20 yrs. in my city, informed me they do not do work for CHW due to failure to pay on several jobs. My heat was down for over a week, I told CHW the story, also told them that I would pay for the work in full, once finished, they could reveiw the repairs & reimburse me per their terms. CHW said no, get another repair service. I cancelled the contract, stop payment on final installment, & paid for the repairs. CHW still has $846.00 from 2 installments, no reimbursement, & no refund. Check BBB reports & reviews from other customers. BUYER BEWARE, do not buy from CHW. |

After being with American Home Shield for 8 years, the UPPER MANAGEMENT decided to dump me. I called to speak with a representative with AHS, they informed me that UPPER MANAGEMENT, decided to not renew my contract in February of 2013, because I used there services too much for keep my home appliances running smoothly. In other words, that decided to dump cause they were not making enough money off of me. I encourage anyone who has AHS to dump them before that dump you, like they did me. |

You better look at the RESPA ruinlg again!! HWC can pay marketing fees as long as there is a compensalble service being provided and that the service is distinct and apart from the duties of an agent to complete a real estate transaction and that the fee being paid is fair market value of that service.Section 8(c) of RESPA guidelines June 25, 2010Clarification on Flat Fees was referred to in the update from HUD in November.It is a violation of RESPA for an HWC to be paid to have exclusivity in a brokerage. |

Buyer beware. Make sure you read the fine print before you sign up for TotalProtect. They pay for the basic part/parts but everything else costs alot more. By the time you pay the monthly fee and the $75 service charge most things could be bought and installed by a reputable dealer at the same or much less money. |

This company is the worst Home Warranty Company for the following reasons: 1. They don't follow their contract. The sales person can tell you that everything is covered before you pay them. Once they got money and when you file claims, it turn out most of items are not covered and therefore they will deny the cliams. AC/heating can't be covered, Applicances can't be covered even though all of them are listed as covered in the contract. 2. They have very low coverage for the payment. If it is more than $100 for their cliam payment, they will either deny your cliam or let you pay the rest of it. 3. The worst is: if you are not happy about their service and cancel the services, they will withhold all the annual premium money forever and don't refund money back to customers. Also even though you just use their services for two weeks, they will charge you half of the annual premium. For the other half, like what I mentioned, they will withhold it for months and refuse to refund that money back to customers. 4. Therefore please take my lesson and don't sign any warranty contract with this Choice Home Warranty company because they don't worth your trust and they will not earn your trust. Once you find out it, they will eat all your money and it will take you forever to get anything back from them in case if you sign a one-year contract with this company and pay them the annual premium in the front. |

This company hires somewhat substandard contractors. Every little repair costs a $75 copay. |

This is by far the absolute worse home warranty company I have ever dealt with! I originally purchased from them 2 years ago. Fortunately, during the first term all I had was a garbage disposal that needed replacing (simple item). I have attempted to make 3 claims during this past few months and not one of them has been accepted by this company. There is always an "exception". I have water spurting out of my shower at the fixture at this time and they have determined the fixtures are accepted from their warranty. If the water was coming from behind the tile wall they will cover that but only up to $500 to tear down the wall, etc. etc. Do not attempt to buy a policy from these people. They are a total sham! |
