Based on the email I received at 5:30 pm on 11/4 which suggest we secure our own technician, pay the technician then submit the bill the Choice who will pay the covered repairs within 30 days. After all of this I choose not to do this. It is Choice’s commitment to provide service – that is why we purchased the plan. I told Lisa I would accept a full refund of the policy $641.25 effective 10/1/2020 which Choice has not been able to provide service. MY CALL WAS DICONNECTED.  I am now very upset/angry/………

I called back & spoke to Mark who passed me on to Claudia in support services – I was requesting answers regarding my policy / claim. Do I have a policy? Have I been cancelled? What’ happing with my claim? 4:12 pm I was passed to 24-hour retention -Jeanett who could not hear me & called me back at 4:13 pm. 4:25 PM She sent my call to Jessica in Resolution. Now it’s 4:45pm & speaking with Kenton who states he will refund me ½ of the policy amount plus 1 month = $375+ in 30 days. I told him that was not acceptable. He was not pleasant nor was I.

(11/28/2020 06:40 AM) This claim is not currently being dispatched to the CHW Vendor Network. If you have any additional questions or feedback, please reply below.

12/1/2020 3:22 pm Spoke with Lisa said status was in process she would expedite the work order & again someone would get back with me.

12/3 4:56 pm Spoke the Jose – he reviewed claim, same as above. He will expedite claim. Someone to get back to me by tomorrow morning. Also said Choice had not received a report from PDB & could not reassign.

12/3/2020 8:00pm. Spoke with John from PDB Contractors llc regarding issue as trash compactor & wanted to make sure he knew the service fee was waived. Apparently Choice Home Warranty has not made payment to PDB for several months & John does not feel he should drive from Kingman to Lake Havasu City for free.  From our conversation John received some not so nice emails from Choice Home Warranty.  In my research with other appliance companies here in town, no one wants to work with Choice Home Warranty as I was told they DO NOT pay their bills. 

12/18/2020 LMT TO AT 10:23 AM.  No return call by 11:23 am.

12/18/2020 11:25 am on hold again. 11:26 Lisa.  Again she is checking the status – said she sees that they ? has been checking for a Tech to provide service. Escalated the claim again. Will call me back as soon as they have some information for me. 

As of today 01/18/2021 = 

Joseph 195 - reviewed the claim status - asked 'what are you going to do about this issue?'  assured me we will have a phone call/email with the name of a tech. within 4-6 hours. (time 1:51 MST pm).
