This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I am a service provider in Texas who did work for Choice Home Warranty.I recently have been told my accoun was closed and would have to wait a min of 365 days for payment.I completed 8 work orders submitted for payment and after 3 months of calling and being told
1.Never recieved fax
2.Proper paper work not on file
3.Fax machine not working
4.Check is in the mail
5.Accounts payable department closed
6.Check never mailed, its going out next week
Now if I call and charge customer for work performed, it will void contract and funds will not payed, not that im ecpecting payment.I WOULD NOT RECOMEND DOING WORK FOR THIS WARRANTY COMPANY OR BECOMING A CUSTOMER...

We are a previous plumbing contractor with Choice and recently (2019) found out they didnt want to pay us for our work even though our contract supported our claim that payment was due. I do plan to file a lawsuit against them. If anyone wants to join in by all means please let me know.

Has anybody tried to find and look for upper management of this company? It seems like the highest contractors can go are the vendors relation managers- which we all know not everybody is pleasant to talk to. I have found the owner’s profile online and some upper management information and contact, I think they don’t know how vendors people handle their contractors, because nobody is there to meditate or review complaints. I have been told once, all of these people we call in vendors department are all managers, therefore they don’t want to step on each other toes if one decided to block a contractor solely based on her own condition. Which is really unfair... asked for upper management or supervisor, they don’t want to pass the phone on to anybody else . That’s where I think mostly the problem comes in for this company . And if they don’t do anything about it, complaints, reviews and law suits will keep piling up.

We too were a service provider of Choice Home Warranty in the Oklahoma City area. We did multiple work orders for them and went unpaid for over six months after submitting our invoices. After getting no resolution from them we began advising customers we would no longer do any business with them which voided our contract and they said they would hold the payments for 365 days unless we started accepting their calls again. I told them I would just wait the 365 days. It has been over 400 days and I emailed them over two weeks ago and still have not received a response.

Ditto our company as well. They came looking for us and asked us to help some customers which we did after receiving approval for the work. After submitting the required documentation for the invoices user their 30 day terms, CHW terminated us and put us on their BS 365 day terms. I doubt they will ever be much of a player and fully expect the owner to be on American Greed one day.

I am a service provider for Choice in Ohio. My concern is that the homeowners don't know what is covered. Much of the time I have bill Choice for doing a diagnostic and then it goes nowhere. Choice is the one the cheapest out there and so when your called to a house that in filthy dirty you will wonder what you have gotten yourself into. They send me lots of emails for work outside of my area, so I think management doesn't pay attention to what company takes the call. I have been paid for the work I did, however the payments are slow as with many maintenance company's. It's nice to have the work but the paperwork takes as long or longer to do than the jobs! If your in this business you need to do the paperwork and the follow your end of the contract precisely, or you will regret ever doing work for any warranty company.

My company as well got the 365 day notice that they will pay. I worked with them for 3 months. They scam their customers sent parts to wrong contractors and we got the wrath from the customers. After closing up with them they were rude and unprofessional. I asked them why the 365 day wait when they warrenty their parts for 3 months and they said thats just how we do it. So now due to me putting all my money up buying parts that they are suppose to reimburse has caused me to close my buisness. I have not even recieved 1 check from them. NOT 1. i waited for the 30 day plus 15 day for the first check it never came nor did it ever post to the portal. Im a small buisness and i counted on that first pay. Then their system changed and they somehow started delegated my routes with their stupid 4 hour window. My phone was blowing up with customers who couldnt be available at the selected times. I live in a big city and drive time is ridiculous so to go from one end to the other was just not feasable not to mention they dont pay for gas. I am so dissapointed and drowning in debt due to choice and now they want to hold almost 5k for 365 days?! Thats ridiculous. I will never recommend them and i know alot of contractors. I may even get the news involved. What a scam! CONTRACTORS BEWARE!

I am reading the descriptions of the non payment complaints and it so sobering because it is all the same situation, the same scenario
as my case. I thought i was the only one. These low life pukes CHW have this scheme down to a science.

they are such low life [censor]. They have the lies just dripping off their lips. they have no shame. I do not know what breed of beings these things are.
After 3 years gone by they still call me to take work. At one point I was playing along. I said ok I will if you pay my $100 first. The manager said yes
then backed out of it. I could say so much more and i will later
Bottom line is I witnessed right in front of my eyes CHW denying a legitimate claim that any other company would easily cover with no second thought. This is how evil and deceptive these [censor] are

Hey George,

I guess I was lucky. I only did a couple of jobs for Choice to see how they would work out. They paid me a little over 70% of what they owe me. I thought that I might work for them some if things ever slowed down, but after reading all these reviews from other subs, I'll not do that again. Just about anyone can be successful if they're willing to screw paying people what they owe. I just don't want to do business that way, and can't understand why they don't seem to care. My reputation and my family's name is too important to me. If you hear about a class action suit, I would like to be a part of it even though I'm only owed a few hundred dollars. It's the principle of the thing.

So I have done work with CHW for about 11 to 12 months, YES it is a fight to get paid. They pay every 30 BUSINESS days which equals 45 calendar days. There was a month when we did not get paid at all and the excuse we got was EVERYONE in the bookkeeping department was gone to a seminar. REALLY ? Who does this ? So I had sent their customers invoices and demand for payment, I was called 2 days after the customers received there bills and was told a check would be sent over night. it got here in 2 days, which is overnight here in Tn. When I was told that we were no longer needed in this area and they would send us the rest of the money in 365 days, I contacted my lawyer and his advice is to bill there customers and send them to collections if they do not pay. It is OUR MONEY and we have the right to it. Also there contracts are illegal, ( I signed one with them back in 2014 that they are still using ) they can not hold our money this long, so lets all get together and do a class action lawsuit and shut these scam artists down. Go on google and read about the lawsuits they have from 4 different stats suing them.

Lets ALL contractors and clients fire this up to the highest level of government and finical regulators... why Not ---to the President ---- this is the swamp we all have the responsibility to drain----Choice Home Warrenty

We have found a great attorney in Jersey. They have went over the contract and Choice is indeed in violation. The contract states net 30 on payment which is 30 calendar days not 30 business days which means due tho their violation they can not enforce any portion.

From the customer viewpoint: I have been paying for CHW for about 2 years. because I cannot afford a major repair bill on my appliances. At the end of August I placed a claim for my dryer that was making noise and the control panel was not responding. A technician from two hours north of me came out on the Saturday morning before Labor Day. He diagnosed the problem, sent them the order for parts and labor. I waited two weeks and called to find out when the parts would be in. The repair was approved but his contract was cancelled. They sent a second technician from 2 hours south of me. Same diagnosis, same approval. I waited 2 weeks, no word. Called him back. THEY cancelled his contract. He said they were not paying the contractors. I called them back. They said He cancelled his contract. I requested a tech closer to my home. They said they have thousands of techs in the area and they post the job and whoever accepts it first is who comes. I have the option of choosing a tech but I would have to pay and they would reimburse me. They sent another tech. This one was from an hour and 45 min north. He called me and rescheduled the appointment they made because I was not available. He told me he had been with them for 5 months, had an 87% good rating from them. BUT They had not yet paid him! I told him I did not think that was right. He was unable to make the appointment due to another call taking too long. I received an email from CHW rescheduling him for Sunday Nov 4th between 11 am and 3pm. I found this email after I came home from church at 2:45pm. I called his number and left a message. He did immediately call me back to say he was no longer with CHW. They had cancelled his contract. He still has not been paid. Meanwhile, my dryer is not repaired. I cannot afford to pay 328 dollars to fix it. That is why I had CHW. I will be calling them again tomorrow and cancel my account. I am a widow with a teenager living with me. I cannot afford any major repairs and with a 117 year old house, the need is great. Is there a place in that class action suit for me? bkollett@yahoo.com

We are a young and growing HVAC and Plumbing company that got on board with Choice back in October. We have (like everyone on here I'm sure) not been paid yet for our services performed and not only that we were told that we were dropped from the vendors list because they didn't like how we responded to them in regard to their non payment of services by us. We were never notified that we were dropped as vendors, I had to call vendor relations to find this out and was told since we were dropped we wouldn't be getting paid for 365 days. Just because they didn't like our reaction to us getting ripped off by them is I guess a reason not to pay someone for work we've done in their eyes. This is the definition fraud and like everyone I want to do everything in my power to not only get compensated for our work we've done but to bring this sorry excuse of a company down. We would like to be a part of this and my email is mme8605@gmail.com thank you.

I am a customer and on my third claim of which the first claim they replied saying that the item broke supposedly before the warranty kicked. The second they probably didn't have to pay anything because it was just a simple fix. The current one will cost close to $2000 and guess what they supposedly keep finding things that are not covered to do with my plumbing and septic system. Two people swore to me that they were taking care of it and the second one even claimed to have sent the contractor the go ahead so he could get the work done only to find the next day that they had sent nothing to him. When I spoke to a manager the next day he claimed that as soon as the contractor re-examined the diagnosis paperwork they would be quick to get right on the approval of the work needed to be done. I am not holding my breathe.

VENDORS/CONTRACTORS - BEWARE OF CHOICE HOME WARRANTY! We are a 20 yr Plumbing business who did multiple work orders for Choice Home Warranty in the Tulsa Oklahoma area. We were never paid. I went around and around with them. They would swear they never received our insurance certificates, etc so I would send them again. CHW would come up with every excuse they could why they wouldn’t pay us. AFTER 6 MONTHS OF CALLING AND SENDING WHAT THEY ASKED FOR, THEN CALLING AGAIN, WE GAVE UP. This is how they make their money. The woman I talked with each time was very RUDE and SHORT with me. LONG STORY SHORT, WE CUT OUR LOSSES. I now see that they are no longer available in Oklahoma. Probably because they ran out of companies to ask to work for them after cheating them all!

I am a contractor here in Brooklyn NY. Choice owes me more than $5000.00. Same story, I have to wait for 180 days to get paid. As far as I am concern they are crooks. It is unfortunate I had to buy parts on credit to complete jobs . As far as I am concern, choice is no different than arm robbers.

They have decided they will take money from checks they owe me saying another company said we installed improperly. Called the customer to find out this was not true. CHW did not pay anyone to come out or reimburse the customer for anything. Did not contact us to go back to look at what was being accused. Just take whatever amount they want out of your check and provide no proof. THEY ARE SHADY AND CROOKS!

We are a plumbing, Electrical and HVAC company in Charlotte, NC. We were called by Choice in August of 2020. They told us they had 205 stagnate work orders that had not been addressed. They asked us our labor rate, we filled out a contract for this amount and in 2 weeks had made repairs to 120 of these work orders. During this time we did gets called from what they call "adjusters" saying our rate was higher than they pay. I asked them to look at our contract. After looking at contract they sent us over approvals for repairs. We did get payments for about 1/4 of these work orders. Over the next 2 weeks we were able to repair almost all their "stagnate" work orders. Once this was done we got a call from our account representative stating that if we didn't lower our rate they would CANCEL the contract with us, hold all our payments for 180 days plus 6 weeks after that for the check to be mailed. In attempts to keep this account we lowered our rate as low as we could. They still canceled our contract and have not issued any further payments. They owe us $26, 000.00 dollars. I am looking at other law suits that have been filed against them. This is a terrible company!

Same boat here. I wonder if we can get a class action against them. They are really beginning to piss me off. I am a small business owner who can't afford to have his money tied up. Especially because I have had to buy [parts to do these jobs. I feel bad for the customers, they are the ones who suffer, I have three jobs that I just cannot afford to buy the parts for. This is crazy.

They called me out of the blue been doing work for maybe 30 plus days. My first check was for 215 which they cut.

The errors were pointed out and they indicated I was correct.

I'm seeing a rat in the wood pile. I see today an invoice was cut from$995 to $708.50 with no explanation. Glad I looked up contractor reviews of this outfit.

They owe me close to $6/k I hope liens will not need to be placed on the homeowners.

I have no signed contract.

I would be happy to sign onto a class action lawsuit.

I have a drywall company, and was kind of smart. Can't say exactly what it was that made me suspicious, but I only did a few jobs for them (went out on 4 jobs, but only approved to do 2 of them). I did the work and waited a month to get paid. They shorted me about $300. I figured that if that's how they are going to start out treating me, then it would likely only get worse.

If you are looking to do a class action against them, I'd love to get whatever I can just on the principle of the thing. If I treated my employees, customers, or other subs like they treat people, our name would be mud in this town. They should have to play by the same rules as we do. I'm telling everyone that I know in Knoxville, TN not to do business with these people. Sad thing is, they'll probably just declare bankruptcy and then start up under a new name a few years later.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help, either with a law suit, negative PR, or whatever.

Best regards,

I DO NOT USUALLY LEAVE REVIEWS BUT FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT AS IT COMES TO CHOICE HOME WARRANTY. I took out a warranty with CHOICE two years ago. There are some important points to review in picking out the warranty for your home and to have peace of mind. Choice does allow you to pick out your own contractor however you will find that most of the top rated repair companies will not work with Choice even on a reimbursement basis. Here is why, it takes Choice up to a month to reimburse and some companies have found that they are not reimbursed at all as Choice finds loopholes to deny a claim. They do the same with their warranty holders. I had two larger claims that were denied though the warranty I had in hand made them "appear to be covered". I had a few claims that they covered however they were small in nature and Choice picked the contractor. I went weeks without my cooling system in July 2021 here in New Mexico as Choice dragged their feet. I went out to find my own contractor for this job and all three would not work with Choice due to their reimbursement option and claims simply being denied. The contractor that was finally assigned came to my home, looked at the work, submitted the claim and Choice denied coverage. Also it is very important to note that in this case Choice did not vet this contractor. The contractor came to my home high and had problems diagnosing the repair. Choice did cover some minor electrical issues and agreed to replace my washer. With my washer they cut me a check that was about 60% of the actual cost of replacement, not "like kind and quality" coverage valuation here. In all, after two years, not at all worth it. Because Choice really does not cover well and the time it took with each repair because Choice took so long to assign a contractor of their "choice", I got to the point that I did not want to bother with them and ended up paying for some repairs needed on my own. I grew tired of their claim submission process and wait time only to have the claim denied. Though Choice is rated #1, there really are better warranty companies out there. They may be more expensive, keep in mind that "you get what pay for". I have since found another warranty provider with coverage that is far broader, cleaner claim submission process and with salesmen that know their warranty inside out. Choice has called me no less than 50 times to renew. The last salesman told me I was stupid for not renewing. I will not work with anyone that does this out of what seems sheer desperation. In the end I believe Choice really means that you should choose a better warranty provider. Beware please.

Document all your work to include Work order, authorizations number for approval, and any other billing and invoice information. I suggest you stop doing work for them,... They are schisters... and beat hard work contractors out of money... I'm in the midst of auditing payments... I'v only done work for these con-artists since the end of January, they racked up nearly $6,000 in that time and have only paid maybe $400.

CHW is a scam for consumers. They take your money and try to talk you into a 3 year contract at a reduced rate. Thank goodness I only did one year. But. For $528 for that year, they can't find a technician to do the work on my washing machine and keep pushing the "reimbursement" process which means that they are off the hook to find the service technician. Then if you take that process they deny the claims because the technician didn't file the proper paperwork or take appropriate photos. I didn't do the reimbursement process but they can't find anyone in my area to do the work. I asked when I took out the policy if they had technicians in my small town area and they assured me that they did. But they don't. It's all a scam and my next step is to contact my state attorney general's office and report them. My ONLY claim was on the washer and it was a total waste of my money to have this "policy".

I have been a vendor for choice home warranty since 2018. They’ve always been slow pay, but here recently they’re not paying at all. I have unpaid invoices that are over 100 days. No one will return my calls, text or emails. Considering legal action if this goes on much longer. Vendors beware.

I am a vendor for choice home warranty. I sent in a diagnosis to replace a garage door op Ed and they approved the amount and sent me authorization # for that amount. A month later I invoiced that amount and they slashed my invoice saying it’s to high. They were trying to pay me $185 to replace a opener that which I provided. This is not even enough to cover the cost of the equipment. CHW is now telling me the most they can pay is $300, leaving me about $65 in labor, hardly enough to cover my fuel. I don’t care about price guides if I am given approval and a authorization for a amount. The. That is a written agreement, that should be held up on both sodes

For day I argued with them through the portal because they wouldn’t talk to me over the phone. After many messages they finally said they would give me a “courtesy” payment this one time. And I need to change my price guide so that this won’t happens again. I tried to change my price guide and they would t let me because my prices were to high. $400 to change i garage door opener is not high. So I won’t be doing anything else and am hoping I want have problems receiving the remaking $2000 they owe me now.

Hello Everyone, I would like to add my complaint into the mix.

I was contacted by CHW around the 1st of July 2022 begging me to catch up some backlog work orders. I told them upfront that I could but I had minimums that had to be met.

I charge out at $85.00 / Man Hour for a Tech with a 2 hour minimum plus a $30.00 Truck Charge to cover the price of fuel and wear and tear for driving it into some of the places we have here in the Smoky Mountains. Plus anything outside of our standard driving area we charge $2.02 / mile for all miles past 30 out and the same on return. I also told them that once the tech reaches the customer's location they are on the clock until the repair is completed and that includes going to acquire parts.

They responded saying that would be fine and gave me a load of service calls for HVAC and Electrical Issues.

#1 - HVAC - the blower fan had self destructed the cage. They refused to cover it, so no Authorization Code Number and they refused to pay my minimum.

#2 - Electrical - Simple fix, a loose wire on a switch, they gave me an ACN and let me fill out an invoice.

#3 - HVAC - The Capacitor was bad. They complained that the charge was too much until I explained that the client's place was in BFE an hour from the nearest parts store. Then they gave me an ACN and let me invoice it.

#4 - HVAC - The previous Tech that was sent out by CHW had butchered the wires and then tried to hook up the low voltage side wires to 240vac and blew the Thermostat off the wall and scorched the wall. It melted the control board and the transformer. CHW didn't want to cover the repairs until I told them the client had a lawyer and was ready to sue their Liability Insurance Company. They gave me an ACN, but before everything was ready they froze my account and didn't tell me. The client reached CHW and was told he could pay for it upfront and submit the invoice for reimbursement.

#5 - Electrical - Another BFE call. Just tracing out the problem took 2 hours to find and they started to complain that I fixed it before I called and got Authorization but they finally broke down and gave me an ACN.

#6 - HVAC - simple fix got an ACN and submitted an invoice no problem. (The client even referred me to others in her neighborhood.)

#7 - HVAC - The Client had her filter so dirty the unit couldn't move any air. CHW gave me an ACN but when I tried to invoice it they complained that my bill was too high even though it was my minimum service call rate.

#8 - Electrical - Took a little while to figure this one out but the breaker was bad. It was allowing 120 volts except when it had even the slightest load. I replaced the breaker and then got the ACN.

----

They complained that I was doing work before receiving authorization, and froze my entire account. Then they sent me a Vendor Portal Note telling me that it would be atleast 180 days to get paid. I replied that I would put a Mechanics Lean on every single project until the client or CHW paid.

i just began working for warranty companies, reached out to my lawyer and paid to get legal advice.

i have began and worked on and resolved over 60 service calls from choice home warranty and home warranty of America, which is the same company and a 3rd sister company that i declined work from.

they bombarded me with work so with the customers paying upfromt 45-85$ it seemed like a good idea at the time if i can make 3-400$ a day to cover some overhead.

i did about a months worth of work for them and had alot of Authorizations over 12k

I’ve paid for all parts up front and labor overhead costs etc.

Have they paid? no

will they pay? i'm not sure

That 12k they “authorized” got dropped down to 8k and still dropping.

I’m showing job losses on all of these claims.

at this point i can try and bill these homeowners for the work that was done or i can try and keep reaching out to choice through there platform since there is no contact information for them.

this is a giant scam, like legit as bad as it gets.

they take millions from homeowners, then hire contractors like me and choose to not pay me or

agree and authorize repair then i got and buy parts and loose money.

so far im in the hole with choice home warranty, glad i caught it early enough is all i can say

my lawyer said i am bonded with the original service contract so it will be hard to try and file against them.

whos up for a classaction lawsuit?

Can we do that? The contract states we can not be a part of a class action suit. They owe me 11k ---8k of that in equipment and parts. I sent a demand letter for reimbursement, they put my payments on hold for 180 days but I feel reimbursement is different as it was for equipment purchased of their behalf for their customers. I thought of billing the customers but think it states we cant do that either in the contract.

This is very frustrating! Let me know what you find out

I am also in the same crappy position. I have invoices past 60 days old that are now magically having their prices change by 30-40% less than I invoiced for. All are invoiced at the agreed upon rate and have authorization numbers , but at 45 days PAST when I purchased, completed, and invoiced the jobs, they have an issue with the amounts.

I wish I would have found this place prior to accepting to work with Choice Home Warranty. We are a small plumbing company & they owe us over $6000 and are refusing to pay stating "your stats are too high".

They have frozen our account for 180 days so that includes no payments will be made and no work orders will be given, yet they are insisting our stats are too high and once we bring our stats down we'll be paid and be sent work orders again.

#1 why are you paying NOW for work that was completed months ago?

#2 how can we improve our stats if you refuse to send us work oders?

I get the same response from them "your account is on hold for 180 days. You can try to request payment in February". Plus, one of their customers cancelled their plan AFTER their water heater was installed & they refused to pay their co-pay. CHW refuses to do anything with that too.

I will tell everyone I can to steer clear of this warranty company as they don't pay for work that was authorized and completed and they continually reduce the dollar amount owed on invoices to suit their needs, payment wise.

Our Company is in Michigan and we have also not been paid for doing work by CHW. We did the jobs back in March 2023. We have tried contacting them, submitting invoicing,ect. We were approved for every job and have all the approval information.

Same situation here. Ran 6 service calls for choice home warranty, totaling around 2k in AUTHORIZED repairs. Now, payment is being withheld. This place is a full on scam, not only for contractors, but for homeowners as well.

They temporary deactivated my account, told me to finish the work orders I had open and then to contact vendors relations to reactivate. After completing all the jobs are then contacted the vendor's relations and at that time I was told I was put on 180 temporary deactivation and I couldn't get paid for my invoices until after that time was up and they would reactivate me then. Time is up and I just contacted them and they informed me they are still going to keep me in deactivation status. I've asked him about all my unpaid invoices and have yet to receive a response. It's impossible to get anybody to talk to you on the phone and the people that return their messages in the vendor's portal don't seem to be any help. Their system is a joke. Other Home Warranty companies that we work with actually have a contractors relations member that is a sign to your company and communicate when there is a problem. We never received a call or anything stating that there was problems or that we are doing something wrong and things we need to work on instead we were just all the sudden we were deactivated

We are in the same situation. CHW owe us more than 20K and we have been waiting for payment since April 2022. It seems that they are collecting as much money they can and then file for bankruptcy!

This is Paul in Knoxville,TN and I've been ripped off by "Choice Home Warranty" as well. Not by as much as you have, but it's the principle of the thing. I work hard and try to play by the rules, don't know why there are different rules for big companies than for small business owners. Anyway, would like to throw my 2 cents into whatever class action lawsuit is taking place.

Wow I just received my first work order. I didn’t even sign up to be a vendor. I was trying to read up and understand more about how they issue payments and couldn’t get more information till I agreed to the terms of the agreement I was trying to inquire about. Then I see this sight and all three complaints from contractors. No thanks. We can be reached at Get Your Fix Home Improvements LLC serving the Youngstown-Akron-Canton Ohio areas.
