American Home Shield ripoff is the best way to describe AHS. We had 2 stopped up toilets. AHS refused to send someone out on a Saturday. Carroll, Iowa
Ripoff- If you look it up in the dictionary, you will see the word American Home Shield.
We had 2 stopped up toilets on Saturday Morning. We called American Home Shield at 9AM, they said someone would come to our house and take care of our problem within 2 hours.
We called American Home Shield at 11AM because no one showed up. They said be patient, it was Saturday and we would have to wait.
I explained to them that we had a child in the house and what do they suggest we do if my daughter needs to go to the bathroom. The customer service person said, "I suggest that she uses a bucket."
It is now 3PM and no one has showed up yet. In my frustration, I called a friend and we fixed the problem ourselves. I plan to contact the president of the company and let him know what occurred.
The problems lies in the fact that anyone can become a contractor with American shield,the information below is taken from their website. The requirements are:
You must be a licensed contractor for the trades you service, carry $500,000 in General Liability Insurance and provide proof of Workman's Compensation Insurance or a waiver thereof (if self-employed).

That's it folks, no major requirements, in addition; below are the benefits that they site as being a contractor with them. Please note what they say if a customer is dissatisfied.
The cost for American Home Shield is about $365.00 per year, please save your money and never use this company. Be sure to tell everyone you know.
