This company,is a SCAM

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

On October 9, 2020 I purchased a three year home warranty policy with Select Home Warranty. I purchased their Platinum Policy for $1448.85.

I paid extra to include my ice maker and pool equipment. I went over everything that would be covered including all my appliances ( including pool equipment, ice maker, ACs) to insure what the coverage offered.

First issue:

7/3/2022- called to get someone out to look at my pool filter. I explained over the phone that my pool man said it was not working. He is not a pool technician which I explained.

She asked if the filter was leaking, I explained I didnt know, they denied the claim because there was water out there, but its always wet there.

I was happy to pay someone to come out and see what the issues is.

Since then I spoke to 6 other people from SHW everyone told me the same thing, it should be covered they dont know why it is being denied.

8/5/2022- I contacted a lawyer that wrote a letter to the president of SHW

He received via email an auto response as the ones I have attached. And to date no other reply has been received.

I continued calling and on. 8/27/2022 they sent a tech out to evaluate. I paid my $60 service fee.

He said he would get in touch with SHW and I never heard another word. The Tech told me they are terrible and probably would not come through. I finally paid to replace the filter.

I have attached an estimate for replacing filter.

Second Issue:

August 25,2022- AC broke down. I live in the desert and one AC cools kitchen, family room.

Second AC covers bedrooms. I do not have a two story house. Again with a list of calls.

They denied this claim because they said only the main AC is covered. They are both main ACs and I went over this when I purchased the policy.

I begged their rep.

Nelly to let me speak to a supervisor on 8/18/2022, I was put on hold and waited 1 hr. 17 min.until I hung up. Thanks

I have read this policy over and over.

I asked five times for a list of exclusions, and I have not seen one exclusion or additional that can be purchased. If they did offer this obviously I would have made that additional purchase.

I finally replaced the AC myself as my bedrooms were over 100 degrees and the doors swelled up so much they could not be opened.

On 9/14/2022 a supervisor named James Wilson called from SHW, he left me a message to return his call.

I did so only to find get his voicemail saying not to leave a message but to e-mail him. I did and got an auto response.

I am tired of fighting with these people, but I want my money back for the policy and repairs I had to make on my own, not to mention the time spent calling them.

I am 70 years old, and on a fixed income. I took out this policy hoping to save in the long run.

The script these reps. are given is identical, and they are trained to back you into a corner bringing up hypotheticals which would exclude you from the policy.

This company takes vantage of people.

I was amazed to see these reviews when I looked this up, seems they do this with everyone. Unfortunately, I looked it up too late.

Requesting:

Policy refund $1448.85

AC refund $5483.00

Pool filter $1300.00

Total $8231.85

Hello, Yes, you can receive the Reelz channel with On Patrol: Live when you sign up for a FreeCast account and add the Value Channels addon for $6.99/month. Currently, when you sign up for a free account on Freecast.com, you can also receive a free seven-day trial of the Value Channels, with Reelz. Note that SelectTV has also since been updated to FreeCast.

SelectTV - False advertising
Updated by user Aug 05, 2022

Chat line was zero help.

Original review Aug 05, 2022

Ordered the 'Lifetime' subscription from StackSocial, Activated it a couple of hours ago and I don't receive any of the extra channels, the only thing it includes is the basic package.

Tried to see what the issue was via SelectTv chat & was informed I can get the 'Value' package for $6.99.month. I asked what the price was for the 'Value' package without the 'Lifetime' subscription.

I was told $6.99/month.

So there is no benefit for me to have the 'Lifetime' subscription if I still have to pay the full price for the 'Value' package.

I asked for a refund and was told I had to go through StackSocial where I bought it from, even though they said they are affiliated with StackSocial.

I am not happy and would like I full refund being I have only had this activated for a couple hours now.

Here is part of the chat I had with SelectTv:

T

Thomas

Right. You could pay the Lifetime subscription price + $6.99 / month to get the Value package.

Me Or just pay $6.99/month without paying for the lifetime subscription and still have the same thing?

6 minutes ago

T

Thomas

Upon checking you have already an existing SelectTV+ account, you can just add Value channel.

So just pay $6.99 a month

Me You didn't answer my question.

You can just pay $6.99/month without paying for the lifetime

Me Ok, how do I get my money back for the lifetime subscription?

Me StackExchange Sorry StackSocial

Ok, Stacksocial is one of our affilliates, they have they're own billing system and you have contact them to if you'd like to request for a refund. We don't process refund purchased from our affiliates.

I’m sorry that you have not had a great experience with your service so far, however I can confirm that there are no issues with the cancellation process, in addition to the fact that our live support team is available seven days a week. Furthermore - Please note that all users receive a free seven days of the Value channel package automatically upon signing up for a FREE SelectTV account, without ever having to enter any card information.

So the only reason a card would be added in this case, would be specifically to renew a package after the free seven-day trial period expires.

If you would like any further assistance with your account, I would also recommend visiting our live chat and one of our support agents will get right back to you. SelectTV Support https://***

Hi Larry, Upon checking your previous live chat with our staff, I'm seeing that you requested to cancel and our agent then assisted you with that right away. All users can also cancel their auto-renewal at any time by logging in from their desktop or laptop and visiting the My Account page.

This page includes a "Cancel Account" button, in addition to allowing you to upgrade or remove other specific channel packages from your account. A cancellation confirmation email is also sent back to both our SelectTV team and you, the user following any auto-renewal cancellation from your My Account page. However, your account was never cancelled from that page prior to your live chat on 7/13/21, and so our support team took care of that for you to prevent any further auto-renewals. Please be sure to follow up with our support team if you ever need further assistance with an account and our service.

Have a great day. SelectTV Support https://support.selecttv.com Since t
