Build America Foundation
Justin January 6, 2009
I noticed on my bank account today a charge to what I was unfamiliar. I am on SS disability and called the number only to find out I am donating monthly to help the homeless. I barely get enough to live on myself & they stole not only this month but also last month and we going to attempt it for a year, telling me that I agreed to it? Am I nuts? Heck no--I can''t pay my bills now. They need to donate to ME!! This place needs to be fined by FCC and I'll be reporting there next. Be careful...if they get you there's a good chance they've already had you or will again in future months. read full review »

Bonney Plumbing
Jacky January 5, 2009
In our neighborhood of older homes it is common for tree roots to work their way into the sewer line. Our house has the older terra cotta sewer line and we usually need the line to be snaked every 1-2 years. Sometimes we do it ourselves, sometimes call in a service and they usually charge around $100. We called Bonney Plumbing this year and the guy tells its $150 to snake out the line. Its a bit high but we say fine. the Bonney Plumbing employee makes a half-hearted attempt at snaking the line, and then says that his snake is hitting an... read full review »

Slomin's Shield
Dave January 5, 2009
Slomin's Shield offers a free alarm system installation. The problem is you better not move within 5 years! We contacted a sales person for Slomin's a little over a year ago to come out to our home to go over the product and the contract with us. Michael Hoyle was who came out to talk to us. Apparently, in order to receive the free installation, you have to sign up for 5 years. Knowing that we would not be in this home for five years we SPECIFICALLY asked if we would be able to transfer service. Mr. Hoyle said it would not be a... read full review »

Maytag/Whirlpool
Starr January 5, 2009
I purchased a Maytag gas stove model #MGR5751BDS in July of 2008. This product failed right out of the box. First the oven clock stopped working, then the burners had trouble, then the oven started cooking at random temperatures, finally it failed completely. I have called Maytag numerous times and have had a number of service calls (each service call meant two visits by A&E: one to assess the problem, two when the parts arrived to install them). I have missed countless hours of work, spent numerous hours on the phone with Maytag arguing... read full review »

APX ALARMS

In August of 2008 I entered in to contract with APX ALARMS. So far to date the service has been great, except for the fact that I just realized I was being scammed. The day I entered into the contract my tenant was with me, he asked my permission to install an APX alarm system at his residence. I asked the represenative how it would work, and was it at all possible, since I own the house but do not reside there. His exact words were " Sure all you have to do is sign that you give APX permission to install the alarm." I specifically... read full review »

I bought a stand alone cabinet from IKEA, like 95% of your their products required assembly. I bought it home and assembled it perfectly, but it turn out to be too big for my kitchen. Since I shopped at IKEA many times, I have asked and was told that I could return any furniture even after assembled from various sale associates and customer services. Anyway, thinking that it would not be a problem for me return after lugging that big cabinet on my small truck about 30 miles away to IKEA in Palo Altos, CA, only to get rejection.

Sears Kenmore oven
hyce January 5, 2009
Our 5 year old Kenmore Elite Electric Range (model 790.9911) caught fire last night and we were very fortunate to have been in the room. I turned on one burner to heat water and turned the (convection) oven on to warm some food. Within 2 minutes, we heard an electrical crackling buzzing sound instead of the convection oven fan noise. I immediately tried to turn off the oven and black smoke began pouring out of the back of the oven and the stove would not turn off. Within seconds, flames were shooting out of the back of the oven where... read full review »

Hannity Homes
Felix January 4, 2009
It's a pure shame what Hannity homes Kevin and steve did to you two, false advertising is not allowed. Just get the back issues of the Papermint Magazine and Family times, they advertise there that your house would be complete from 90 from the pouring of the slag. You should at least go after the interest during that time you were not in your home. If a company is in the building of homes they should know all the times and required variances. I would almost bet the Salesman on the home didn't get paid the commission for the sale. read full review »

Easy Warm Floor

I purchased an easy warm floor in August of 2008 and authorized the purchase via a telephone call, since there was no way to order the form online. The company sent me a confirmation email with an itemized bill and a line item clearly stating 'Grand Total: $465.00'. The item arrived on time and works great. I installed it myself and the installation was easy. In fact, I held this company in pretty high regard until November 21, when an additional charge for $137 appeared on my credit card bill.

Palm Pools

Our community hired Palm Pools to provide pool service and lifeguards for the 2008 pool season. On the first day the pool was meant to be open, no lifeguard showed up. We notified the company and it took two days to get us a new guard. The replacement guard was consistently 2-3 hours late to open the pool and failed to clean it. We demanded a new guard and received one who smoked at the pool while on duty and talked on the phone. Most if not all of the lifeguards provided to us were foreign visa holders with minimal English... read full review »

I told them they had to install by 8am they said no problem, when they didn't show up I find out they open at 10am. I work nights so I wanted an early install so I can find a baby sitter and get some sleep. When I called to complain my sales man wanted to fight me and called me a lair. After all this was fixed ( I had to change the install date) they did a crappy job. I had to call them to fix it once and it is messed up again. Don't use them at all tell everyone not to use them at all. read full review »

Direct Buy Dutchess County
G. Barry January 3, 2009
We ordered furniture in September and were told 6-8 weeks. We did not get a call about the furniture being ready for pick-up until 16 weeks and when we tried to speak with a manager about our previous calls to check on the furniture we never received any return calls. We then did not have furniture over the holidays and had company to entertain. We then asked to have it delivered instead of pick up due to the circumstances and we were charged an additional $215.00 for the delivery. We already paid over $3000.00 for the furniture. Thank goodness this is the end of the membership, we will never use them again and recommend others to stay away! read full review »

We purchased a Kenmore bottom freezer refrigerator from a Sears store in Marion, NC for our house that was under construction, in Oct. of 2007. The house was completed and the appliances installed in December of 2007. On Jan 2, 2009 my husband smelled a plastic burning smell and traced it to the refrigerator. When he opened the doors he could literally feel the heat from the lights, he put his hand up to the light cover and it was almost too hot to touch. He closed the doors and went to the breaker box to turn off the breaker and before he... read full review »

Kenmore model 4783 wall over
Tom December 31, 2008
Another Kenmore oven heating element fire. We have the Kenmore 4783 wall oven, installed about a year ago, the oven is close to two years old. Same story - when heating at 350 degrees, the heater element failed and caught fire. My wife was in the kitchen and turned off the oven right away and the flames went out after a few seconds. Having read all of the complaints on this site, I worry about simply repairing and replacing the heating element as it seems to recur for some people. Not sure if this is related, but the oven has always cooked about 15 degrees low. For something that requires 350, we've had to cook at 365. read full review »

Last August, we ordered a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator at a price of around $2000. We live in a rural community and had to pick it up in a nearby community ourselves. The fridge was extra wide so we ended up taking the doors off to get it into our house. In the process, we lost a small washer on one side. The effect is that the doors are not properly lined up. We wanted to correct the problem and discovered the part online in the U.S. at a price of $1.50.
