Cinch lied about canceling at anytime as when I attempted to cancel my program cinch said I owed $241.00 for early cancellation. Cinch is a customer money scam business. Spawn of Satan!

When I tried calling they have now made me play 3x for the same problems that I've never been fixed claiming the previous repair claims were closed when they never came back to actually fix them! Their call centers barely speak English! Before purchasing any type of warranty through them try calling to make a claim & you’ll understand! ..View less

Now I have been dealing with trying to get a refund and have continued to get multiple excuses and promises that it's "in process." I have contacted my credit card company to report this fraud and they are working on disputing the charge. Stay away from this company. ..View less

I contacted Cinch over 3 weeks ago to have my central air conditioner serviced as i think it is low on Freon. They assigned me to a service company that was 90 miles away from my house, who refused to come look at my unit. I contacted Cinch again, since it is my responsibility to contact and schedule the repair and was this time assigned to S**** who is the epidemy of home repair services, who scheduled me for a week out. When the appointment date arrived, i called and pushed a lot of buttons trying to get someone to answer the phone, only to find out their technician was not available and rescheduled me for another week out. When this date arrived, i went a whole day trying to confirm that the technician was actually coming. It turned out again they were not coming. I again contacted Cinch and was reassigned to another service company who turned out to be over 100 miles from my house, whos idea of customer service sucks, they put you on hold for over an hour before they hung up on you. Again I contacted Cinch who has now assigned me to their dispatch department to find a service company closer to my location. I was told I had to wait for 24 - 48 hours for a response. Today id the 2nd day working on 48 hours with no response. In my opinion, cinch is in breach of contract, but I still cannot get the repairs completed and submit a bill for reimbursement. What a way to treat a good paying CUSTOMER with service. No accountability. ..View less

Soooooo disappointed! I would 100% not recommend Cinch! We bought for a piece of mind at closing of house, based on previous experience with America’s Home Warranty. Boy were we in for a surprise. It took Cinch about 2 months to send out there packet that outlined their claim procedures. In the first few weeks of owning the home we had 3 issues that needed plumbing. Not knowing the claim procedure. We had pluming done. Because we did not go through them, our work was not covered. We would have followed the procedures had Cinch been timely on their mailings to new clients. If looking for a warranty company, go elsewhere. Look for company that is timely with providing information. I called tonight, following procedures and was made to pay deductible up front not knowing when the service would be provided. My basement drains were backing up! Then when I called the number of this no name company I was given, they had no voicemail. So now what? Use America’s Home Warranty instead! ..View less

They told me it would take 14 business days to receive my refund. Today is the 17th business day and now the Cinch representative is stating the check won't go out the door until the 21st business day. Cinch is communicating inconsistent information. This is not fair practice - essentially we are paying for two warranties until they send the refund. Cinch had no problem cashing our check as soon as they received it but they seem to have trouble reimbursing us. Now, I have a confirmation number for a refund and confirmation callback number to speak with supervisor. Unreal, unstructured. ..View less

Still awful customer service, third world phone representatives, long wait for appointment, then after appointment day had almost passed and I hadn't heard from anyone, I called and asked for ETA for tech. I was informed no one was coming, they didn't have enough technicians but they would try to get to me in 3 days. No phone call to let me know, person just told me it was a good thing I called. I then called Cinch and asked for my service fee to be refunded to me and I'll find my own repair service. I realize a dishwasher isn't as critical as heating and cooling but it does just confirm what you can expect with this company. 0 stars ..View less

I was advised after getting approval for a water heater replacement that I would be charged an additional $90 for an additional technician. The agent advised the service would require 2 technicians and I have to cover it. This is very poor business. I was also advised there would be a permit that has to be pulled by my city and I would be charged an additional $125. I reached out to the city to verify and was told I could actually pull the permit myself and it is only $50 if they pull it or if I pull it. I advised Cinch Fixd I would be happy to do it and per R*** it would not be allowed. I am reaching out to my warranty company to assist. Please watch yourself with this company. They are a rip off. ..View less

We have had 3 different technicians come out, with each ordering different parts because the previous one (s) didn’t know the real problem! We have, at this date, 4 parts on our kitchen table that have not been used. Also, while examining our washer, the second technician cracked the front cover over the internal parts, which means another ordered. My husband just a text that Cinch has 3 more parts. When we have requested that a manager talk to us, we have been denied that option (who did you contract to run your customer service?). Frankly, I am at a loss. They would have saved a lot of money if they had just bought us a new washer. Plus, I’m tired of going to the laundromat! I will leave one star, but only because it won’t submit my form for no stars. ..View less

I tried to put in another request this week for a refrigerator repair and the earliest service appointment was over 3 weeks out. I went ahead and scheduled another service tech on my own and they were here in 2 days. I believe this is their tactic to see if you will just take things into your own hands by delaying service for weeks. I know there is a shortage of technicians and parts but they will not allow you to submit the bill back to them if you don't go through their process. Extremely disappointing and poor customer service. The customer service reps are nice but provide no help. ..View less

Just stay away from this company. It is just money, time & effort wasted down a clogged drain. For one they are very slow to respond with a repair fix and the technicians they send over have no clue as to the issue (probably are trying to learn on the job) leading to wasted time and heartburn.

The vent to clean out the drain was on the roof and it was excluded. They could have pulled the toilet but said that wasn't covered either, even though it was not in the contract. So I paid a $100 to wait for 2 weeks and had to hire my own plumber and pay another $350. What a waste. ..View less

This company was beyond awful. They sell a great sounding "plan" and all these add-ons to cover appliances, pool equipment, and other optionals and make it sound easy to file claims online.

This company was beyond awful. They sell a great sounding "plan" and all these add-ons to cover appliances, pool equipment, and other optionals and make it sound easy to file claims online. We paid over $860 in service fees before we had to file our first claim. On our first service call they sent a technician who did not know the equipment at all. He blamed "maybe the circuit board", "maybe the pump". We asked how much it would be to fix and said we'd be happy to just pay to get it fixed, but he said he had to send a report back to Cinch first and that they'd call us back. The technician said the dishwasher was cheap crap from China and told us we should buy a new unit. Surprise, surprise, Cinch never called or emailed. Instead, they simply marked our claim online as "Completed" with no explanation. We noticed this, so we called them to ask what happened. The phone rep said they would have to file something and get back to us. A couple days later they emailed to say they denied our claim (but still charged us $100 for the guy to come out) because the dishwasher broke due to "calcium buildup" and lack of proper maintenance. We disputed the claim with Cinch, which they sat on for an additional few days, and then emailed again that they would not look into it further. Based on the reviews here and elsewhere, this seems their entire strategy - send incompetent technicians, teach them to blame the customer for lack of maintenance, and then ignore or deny claims/complaints. They even reply to your complaints from an email address which you can't respond to to follow up! We ended up calling GE directly and the technician arrived within 4 hours and had the unit fixed within an hour. It turned out to be a part jammed in the motor, the motor wasn't even broken. It was NOT calcium build up and there was nothing wrong with the unit! He fixed it and all was well - and it was less than $250 vs. the $860 we had paid Cinch thus far. So basically, Cinch stalls as long as possible after denying your claim so you just give up and pay to get it fixed yourself. Complete waste of money. Steer clear. ..View less
