SquareTrade Protection Plan

I filed a claim for a replacement Jbl Wired Headphones on December 25, 2024 and was told that I would receive the new ones in 7-10 days once it was approved and I would receive an email with tracking information on the product just in case it was lost/stolen. Never received the product nor email confirmation, I called more than 5 times trying to resolve the issue and kept getting the run around I had gotten fed up and just gave up trying to resolve it. So when I got the nerves to try again and file a new claim, was told I couldn't because the system showed that the item and email was sent/delivered at the address.

Desired outcome: I would like to receive what was paid for and think I am due that much after getting the run around.

The seller (Sold by: photonled) is trying to retaliate against me for returning the washer. The return was at Seller's expense. They offered me $25, then $35 to keep it. I tried to cancel this protection plan and have been blocked by the seller. I want my money.

Please cancel this plan and return my money.

Thank you.

Claimed loss: $7.99

Desired outcome: Refund my $7.99. The washer was returned. I cannot use this protection plan.

Purchased an office chair through Amazon and took a I believe it was three year insurance claim through Allstate protection plans (They are serviced by a company called Square Trade). The first time I tempted to file a claim they said the time between the breaking and the chair and me filing was too long. The second time the entire back portion of the chair...

The positive: It was very easy to purchase the plan and Square Trade eagerly took my money and processed everything. The negative: They haven't honored the plan. The story: I purchased a battery for my trolling motor on Amazon. I forgot to get the protection plan, but contacted SquareTrade/Allstate who assured me I could add it within 30 days of...

Walmart I bought a laptop from Walmart.com. The laptop was never refunded. I filed a claim with no resolution. Are you able to refund this order to me? I don’t remember getting a refund. The order number at Walmart.com is [protected]. It was purchased in June 2021. The plan at Square trade is [protected]. It was a Hewlit Packer Chromebook. Why was this claim id number closed?

SquareTrade Product Protection

I purchased a protection plan for 2 years for a tablet that has suddenly stopped working aftea year!r a little over ! I've tried for over 2 days to file a claim with no success; first the only password I've ever used was said to be incorrect or the authenication code took hours to be sent and when it did there was numerous ones and trying the lastest one sent it was said to be incorrect but after waiting an hour tried the last code which worked but only went to an 404 error page which looks like the home page but nothing works! Are these deliberate tactics to stop claimants from fileing a claim? Are they such blantant crooks?

SquareTrade Insurance

I have been paying on phone insurance with SquareTrade for about 3 years. I broke the screen on the phone so I filed a claim on the insurance. I was given a claim number and they assigned a local shop to do the repair. They said that the repair shop would email me the appointment date to bring the phone in. Said it may take up to a day the the repair shop to respond. After 10 days, I called the repair shop and they said that they did not receive the order from SquareTrade. Now I am unable to reach a phone representative to resolve the problem as I was told I must do by the Chat representative. The phone to customer support has been out of order for 3 days. No other way to communicate with them.

SquareTrade your square trade warranty on my tv and remote.

I first called about a faulty Visio remote. Over the phone with a Squaretrade Tech it was determined the remote was bad and we would be sent a new remote. Weeks later we still hadn't received a remote so I called them. They said they didn't have that remote in their inventory so I should buy one myself and mail them the invoice to be reimbursed. I did what they asked and still have not gotten a check. We've had hours of phone time and emails going around in circles. This all started in mid May.
I have sent copies of original warranty plan, cash register receipts, and invoice for new remote. I am totally frustrated at this point and request my warranty charge refunded, $59.99 and my cost for having to go out and buy my own remote, $28.58.
I trust we can handle this matter in good faith.
Regards,
DRB

SquareTrade the squaretrade does not respect your customers

I bought a dell laptop (model I14RN1818DBK I52430M) on 12/26/2011, at COMPUSA company, in Orlando, Florida. I also bought a 3-year SQUARETRADE warranty because they assured me it had international coverage.
My laptop has stopped working and I got in touch with Squaretrade, through its employee Brian ([protected]@squaretrade.com) to obtain the authorization to fix my laptop in Brazil. Nevertheless, the company did not find my record, as well, they asked me to send a copy of the purchase receipt, what has been done.
After more than a week, I have yet to receive any information of the company and my laptop is still broken.

I am not getting any help with my warranty TV . I purchased a extended warranty through Square trade. I have called they give me the run around. They keep saying Amazon handles the TV issues and transfer me to amazon. Amazon says that square trade is responsible for fixing or replacing the TV. No one seems to know what to do.
