Awful, Fraudulent, Deceptive and disgusting service, Nationwide Home Warranty

My wife and I purchased a Nationwide home Warranty for our primary residence in 1/08/08.

Unfortunately we had a few problems this year and had to call them for assistance.

Our first claim was denied after a tree branch dropped on the electrical panel, nationwide said they did not cover acts of god. We paid an electrical contractor 675.000 to repair the broken box. I actually did not have a problem with paying as I believed them when they said they couldn't cover under such conditions.

Three month later our Sundance Cameo, Hot tub pump went out and although we paid an extra premium to have this insured they argued for two months until they finally agreed to pay only half of the repair amount. Nationwide flatly refused to pay for the second pump that burned out because of the circulation pump. They said I would have to buy and install this one myself or hire someone. This ordeal lasted two months with at least 15 calls to their main office.

A month after the hot tub ordeal, a waterline bust which needed immediate attention. I was forced to call a plumber myself as I realized from past experiences that Nationwide would stall and not return calls for at least several days as to force people with policies to fix it themselves in order to save on service calls.

Lastly, we had our furnace stop working at the end of winter. When I reluctantly called to file a claim, I was given a name of someone not in my area, who finally returned my call after a few days to inform me he did not work my area. I call Nationwide back and was given another name of a heating and gas contractor. This contractor came to my residence I paid my $60.00 dollar service fee. He then diagnosed the problem and fixed it two weeks later. He called me to say that that nationwide warrantee voided his bill and that he should collect the balance from me. A I called nationwide warranty and spoke too their president Ashley Porter, she informed me that unless I could produce records showing that I had this furnace checked yearly they don't pay. I asked to talk with the regional manager Brian Cooper and asked what home owner has all their appliances checked yearly? He said read the contract. There will be no payment from Nationwide.

Anyone out there also disgusted with nationwide practice? Perhaps a class action lawsuit against this lousy company would help them in the long run.
