This needs to stop! CHW needs to pay their bills! How are they still in business. Let’s get this lawsuit going, I have a strong team of lawyers that can help if needed
count me in
Pleeeeaaase count me in! They owe me over $10k
I to am having trouble getting paid. They are the worst home warranty company I have worked for. They will not cover the customers break downs in there HVAC systems. This company needs to pay up or shut down. So Please add me to the List.
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

I am emailing you its time we get together and stop this and get what we are owed. I have an attorney who will take us om contingency as well if needed,
al@bbappliancesrepair.com
please add me to the law suit Juan D, Miami fl … I am emailing both of you... we MUST stop choice thievery ….if we dont do something they will continue to steal and rip off the next contractor and the next client . We are gathering a group of contractors who choice tries to put against each other by reassigning our work orders ...Choice forgets that our connection witch each other and the clients is Stronger because we have 2 things in common : 1)we all been screwed over by choice 2) we all hate choice to the bone for playing us and stealing from us... 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
Add us as well! CHW owes us over 3, 000.00! And has the nerve to call us and tell us to service these customers that we have already paid for parts and our technicians for original diagnosis.
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. Here is his contact information it is a large firm in 5 states Johnson and Associates, PC
So many Johnson and associates PC popped up here in Chicago and they are all criminal defense would you have the actual contact info?
Same here... I did work for them for 8 months and they owe me close to $10, 000! I’m located in Houston, TX . If anyone needs info from me y’all can contact me. I’ve also been trying to fight this... had NO idea many of y’all were going through this too. My email is protekappliance10@gmail.com
Im in FL and they owe me over $1000.00. I am with anyone that wants to go after these low life thieves. Lets pool resources and get them shut down.
How far have this gone so far?
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.
They just settled with me as the State of New Jersey gave me judgement against them for breach of contract
Count me in J & E Mechanical Contractors mccloud36@yahoo.com Thanks Eric
Can you please tell me the process you went through to get your settlement i can't get no one higher then the regional manager whom didn't return my emails or calls he just canceled my account. mccloud36@yahoo.com
Hello,
Can I get this lawyers email Or phone number
We are having the same issue with Chw here in Missouri. They will say you are authorized for repair then they will slash u your pay
Please add me, I reside in Peoria AZ, CHW owes me more then 5k and will not pay, they use every excuse to avoid paying there bill.
Hey. l am a Vendor for CHW. They cancel my account and owe me $5000. How did your situation turn out? cdhman100@gmail.com
Contact the Texas Attorney General office and file complaint.
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.

Hello I'm Eric the owner of J & E Mechanical Contractors and I'm in the same situation please include me in your class action lawsuit. [protected]. mccloud36@yahoo.com
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

This is not true at all because I've emailed and called the regional manager for Texas just to be ignored and then they canceled my contract and owe me for overb40 completed jobs, so now I have to choice but to join in with other class action law suits because like them non payments has basically put me in debt for all of the upfront parts I installed.

That's a lie. You have settled law suits for all the reasons listed. You never admit responsibility either but you do settle. CHW is a scam.
how can i join in on class action suit they owe me for over 20 jobs
I have been trying to get payment and have yet to receive it. I keep getting the run around and lied to.
We are a roofing contractor that has similar problems with Choice Home Warranty. They have rude, unprofessionalk customer service representatives and after completing work over a year ago we remain unpaid.
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.
