“Run away! Not sure why Verizon continues to work with these scammers. The reason why they "have a back order" is because they're reparing them and send them out as new. After 15 years, I'm leaving Verizon. This was it. Nope. Nope. Nope.”
“Beware of this company, they over charged me on a replacement phone, I was charged 279.00 when I was only to be charged 99.00 due to assurion customer service processing my claim wrong.. they processed my claim as a lost phone when I told them I had the damaged phone to return to them. I then had to wait 4 days for my replacement phone when it normally takes 24 hrs. I then call assurion back they say I would have to return the new replacement phone back to them, once they receive it they would process the correct claim. Which mind you I would need to wait for a refund of 279.00 and then pay another fee of 99.00. And my kid would wait another 4 days to recieve a new phone. So that would be almost 8 to 10 days without a phone in total. I ask for a higher supervisor they direct me to a Craig in the ceo office. He offered me deals that I was not into. Such as an upgraded phone,(mind you after I return the replacement phone) or he said he would give me 1200.00 and then I would need to purchase a new device (once again how long would this process take for the refund and then to go find another device. So I ask him why they just can't credit my account the 60.00 for three months(totaling the 180.00 that I got overcharged). He tells me he needs to contact Verizon for this, calls me lastnight tells me he needs to put in writing to Verizon and would call me back today. He never called I called him to be told he has to call Verizon. He gets them on the phone for them to tell me they won't credit my account because its an assurion mistake. So basically I am out 180.00 because assurion customer service processing my claim wrong. I have been with Verizon and assurion since 2014, I have 5 lines and carry the full insurance on all my lines. This is really unacceptable in my opinion.”
“I made a claim to fix my screen which was pushed back then canceled by asurion and notes lied saying I canceled the appt when I wasted my whole day off waiting for them called the Lakeland store and was basically told to stfu and he could do nothing for me called the ceo dept and said for my inconvenience they would deliver a same day replacement from 7 pm to 9pm waited up for tech that never showed never called and the appt canceled itself at 950 pm this is the worst experience ever and I am 2.5 seconds from reporting them to the BBB. They don't deliver on what they say there is no communication and customer service sucks. I wasted both my days off waiting to be stood up”
“On 12/17/23 I had water damage on my Iphone & tried to file a claim online MANY times & the process would not complete. I could not call with a broken phone!!! Asurian has NO CUSTOMER SERVICE email or CHAT so it was completely frustratring..I went to an Asurian store thinking I could get my replacement there but one can't...I believe Asurian has NO CONTACT info deliberately to DECREASE claims as most people filing claims have unuseable phones.”
“No one will probably ever see this. But Asurion is a SCAM. I have been trying to cancel my account for 2 months and I still get charged $24.99 each month. When I call customer support they say they cannot access my file and all it shows is that my account is canceled. Beware!!! SCAM!”
“I had an s20 that become inoperable, so I used Asurion to get a working phone. they sent me a replacement, though it was a downgraded (no addable storage in SIM-card slot, less RAM) refurbished version. 2 weeks later the phone came in contact with a small amount of water (was in my pocket and i got sprayed with a hose), and stopped working. Asurion said that wouldn't fall under their warranty.
keep in mind, the s20 is advertised as being able to withstand 1.5m of submersion for a period of 30 minutes. To me, this says that the phone i received was defective. I called the company, and alerted them that i was recording the conversation for my protection. They refused to help me until i stopped recording, and wouldn't tell me why. After this I was hung up on, and now am not sure how to go about protecting myself and figuring out how to fix the defective (and downgraded) phone they sent me.”
“Waste of money. Denied office chair claim owned for 2 months without explanation. We were shocked after reading the contract online about what they actually cover, which is basically nothing. Here is the link, buyer beware: https://protection.asurion.com/protection-plan/en-us/499_(1218)_(Dynamic_single-product)_(CL_12.20.18)_STAPLES.pdf”
“Bought a brand new monitor off Amazon with a three year warranty for a hundred dollars. Asurion sent my monitor back and said they can’t fix this type of equipment. Yet they sell the insurance for it, do not use their services.”
“I've made three appointments to have the screen on my phone repaired. No one has shown up to any of them. I even had an email verification for the appointment today.
There was no contact, no notification that the technician was delayed, etc. When I called to report that no one had shown up, the outgoing voicemail informed me that my appointmet was for six days from now.
If you want your device repaired, use a different company”
“i have been trying to get my sons phone replaced.....its been a week and so far nothing ....I have called every day and they are giving me the run around....finally they sent me a text message that my claim is accepted...but for the wrong phone number..”
“I was assured by retail workers and customer support that my claim would not be denied based on the information I told them. I continuously kept denying due to the FIRST issue I ever came to Asurion with. That issue was completely solved and paid for. Everyday was the same cycle. Get an email that Asurion denied my claim. Call customer support. Customer support refiled and assured that my claim will be accepted. Repeat the cycle the next day. This cycle kept happening until it was time for me to renew my monthly membership. What an utter waste of time and money. What a complete scam.”
“To start it takes 15 minutes to get to a rep. Then I get disconnected 3 times with no return calls. Then when I finally get my replacement unit I am currently on hold for 1 hour and 50 minutes because they are getting an “error message “ when they try to active the new unit. Stay away from this company…”
“They rescheduled appointments, can't get parts (and say they're on backorder), and totally misdiagnosed our refrigerator problem. As a result we are just going to buy a new refrigerator. If I could leave zero stars I would.”
“The women on the phone was nice but not knowledgable. First informed me that my phone was discontinued so they decided to send the next model up. When sending they did indeed send the model that I owned already (cool). The issue was in the recieving of the device. They told me the phone would be at my house between 3 and 5 pm and that someone had to be present to receive the device. I came home from work waited from 2pm - 5:30pm and still no word. Have a appointment with my daughter at 6 pm and as soon as I'm there around 6pm I get a call of someone at my home for delivery. Now that I'm not there I have to wait, without a phone that I pay and replacement that I paid for an extended amount of time and I don't have the liberty to wait for it to come. At this point you can just leave it on the porch. That's fine. Called asurion they like it's in transit I asked if there was an official tracking and they informed me that there wasn't ... alI needed was the case number. I have the case number, but still don't know that the phone will ever be in my possession. I'm literally using Google voice to make calls through my laptop
....
Literally.”
“I have been an Asurion customer since ever since they were integrated into Verizon's Mobile protect plan and was been generally happy with the service / peace of mind it provides. The charger port on a recently upgraded phone I purchased last year broke, and I received a refurbished replacement phone (covered by the original warranty) delivered by Asurion in short order.
The replacement phone then proceeded to continue to restart randomly on its own, and over time had gotten progressively worse until the phone became unusable. In late August, I went to the Verizon store where for 2 hours with the Verizon customer service representative and I were passed back and forth between Asurion and Verizon phone representatives. I counted speaking to at least 9 different representatives who had no record of the previous conversation, blindly talking through a script without listening to what we were actually saying, and ultimately deflected responsibility without providing any possible solutions. I then had to spend another 4 hours with tech support that night to prove the issue was not due to software I installed and that the phone (lemon) needed to be replaced. Asurion then charged me a $230 deductible in order to replace the unusable phone. When I asked if any compromise could be made considering the circumstances (the replacement phone became unusable over time with no damage), they told me that there is no lemon law in Florida!
It is clear this company's policy are designed to prioritize profits over customer satisfaction. I will no longer use Asurion nor recommend their service to anyone else.”
“They are basically a fraud. File a claim for a lost phone and they never sent the new goddam phone. Had to cancel the claim after a month of submitting the f$#% claim over and over and even after speaking with a representative.”
“I sent a pretty much brand new smart watch to get fixed( 1 Crack in screen) they kept it for weeks saying they were waiting on parts. It's a $350 dollar watch. I got an email today saying they will reimburse me the $100 for repairs and fair market value of the watch at $66!!!( stating this is to go towards a new watch, which i couldnt buy the same watch with that amount of money abd thw $100 was mine to begin with!) Wtf. I requested to have my watch sent back and they said they keep it to salvage for parts!!! This company is a joke. Im out a brand new watch. I wouldnt recommend them to my enemy!! Horrible people. I also requested along with my watch sent back that I be reimbursed the $100 for repairs since no attempt to repair it was made since they said the screen wasn't avail. They submitted the request that will likely get denied for the return of my watch( insane!)”
