Hi Christina,
Thank you for leaving a review regarding your experience with us at DriveSmart. We apologize if you feel as though your interactions with us were less than satisfactory. Due to the nature of the complaint, our compliance department has reviewed the calls and notes related to your account. Please note, DriveSmart as the producer on your contract is not responsible for claims in any manner. To better assist you with this complaint, we have contacted the Administrator of your contract for any insight. Regarding the claim called in to Matrix on 11/15/2021, the repair facility called in three issues: 1. Repair wiring to vent control solenoid, 2. Repair wiring to front end impact sensor, and 3. Replace left upper and lower control arms. A repair order from the same facility was obtained showing in August of 2021 (prior to the vehicle service contract purchase), a vent solenoid and impact sensor recommended repair/replacement be completed on the vehicle as well as both front axels. You denied these recommendations and did not authorize the repair facility to complete these issues back in August. So, because the claim called in on November 2021 contained the same items that you failed to replace in August of 2021, the administrator denied the claims as ‘pre-existing’. You can find this exclusion listed in the ‘WHAT IS NOT COVERED” section of your policy handbook. Additionally, the administrator denied the claim for the left upper and lower control arms for being a ‘waiting period failure’. This same issue was called into the administrator in January of 2022, when you purchased your own control arms to be installed by Pep Boys and the administrator advised the repair facility of the previous claim denial on the same items, for the same reason and it would not be a covered.
We received your letter of cancellation on 1/18/20211. Your coverage has officially been terminated as of that date and any attempts to collect billing dues has been ceased. At this point, there is no pro-rated refund due on your account as it seems that you have disputed some of your payments made.
We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion related to your account, but we are happy to have been able to assist you in this matter. Feel free to contact our customer service team at 888-578-3711 Monday-Friday 9AM to 5PM if you have any additional questions or concerns.
