HOME ADVISOR Formerly SERVICE MAGIC Home Advisor is a RIP OFF TO CONTRACTORS! Homeowners beware too!! Nation Wide Florida

Home Advisor is a RIP OFF to contractors AND consumers!!  They sent me as a contractor BOGUS leads and charged me for everyone of them before i could review them.  EVERY ONE WAS USELESS!!  They tricked me into buying a "special package" of leads because I was new with them for $250.00.  After they kept charging me more than I was making I asked for a credit back for the $250.00  and THEY REFUSED!  I closed the account with a CREDIT BALANCE OF $250.00 and thought that was the end of it.  

Then about a month later I get a letter from Home Advisor saying that I owed them $195.00!!!  I OWED THEM NOTHING!  I disputed the balance w/my credit card company and WON.  I thought that was the end of it.  

They sent the balance to a collection Attorney  who said it doesn't matter if I won the dispute I still owed it.  I had NO CHOICE except to pay it before it DOUBLED with interest, collections agency fees and all the other GARBAGE they were tacking ont it!!  

CONTRACTORS DO NOT SIGN UP WITH HOME ADVISOR!!!  They WILL RIP YOU OFF!!

The "leads" they send you are WORTHLESS!!  AND they are sending the same leads to about 15 contractors in your area and CHARGING EVERY CONTRACTOR for the same leads!!! 

Homeowners should beware as well!  They were saying I was "verified".  BULL!  They never did any kind of verification on me.  As long as I kep paying them, they did NOT CARE if I was qualified to do ANY OF IT!!  They were sending me leads that I had NO IDEA HOW TO DO!  Some contractors will try to do them anyway just for the money and do a poor, or worse DANGEROUS JOB!!

Bottom line for CONTRACTORS AND HOMEOWNERS IS STAY AWAY FROM HOME ADVISOR!!!
