Complaint Review: American Home Shield

 I have been paying warranty insurance through American Home Shield for about 10 years or so.  I pay approximately $50.00 per month, now $60.00.  I believe I have had them come to my house twice. Once for my garbage disposal and once for a leak in a pipe.
    
 Today my central air conditioner stopped blowing cold air.  They sent a technician out who reported that it failed due to lack of maintenance.  My air conditioner is 24 years old!!!!  

  I had another licensed contractor come out who stated my failure was due to normal wear and tear and had nothing to do with maintenance.

 I called and reported this to American Home Shield and they stated "We don't take the opinion of independent contractors."   I told them I want them to send another technician out here for a second opinion.  They stated "We don't do that."  

 Unbelievable!!!  What a total scam. I have paid out over $5,000 to this company and the one big claim I make they are trying to deny.  I am dumbfounded and have already contacted my attorney.
