This company phoned a senior citizen on a fixed income and implied that they were from Tampa Electric and wanted to perform an energy efficiency test at her home. They scheduled an appointment and then proceeded to sell her items that she did not need and could not afford.
The home is in reverse mortgage. Homewise had her fill out a credit application and proceeded to run it within various finance companies. Most declined but Aqua Finance apparently approved a revolving account. Aqua financed the $4,688.00 at 3.9% for the first year and 13.9% on year two and thereafter.
Homewise is very experienced. Your items will be installed quickly. Leaving absolutely no room for a 3 day contract cancellation that is required by law. They cover every base. Removal will either leave you without a hot water heater or a hole in your brand new roof. They are even ashamed to use their real names. Their Motto is when the finance company calls to " JUST SAY YES".
They even leave the seniors notes just in case they forget. "JUST SAY YES".
Homewise works so quickly that sometimes they lose track. If you have failed to "JUST SAY YES" to the finance company then they can't close their file. I think that just means they can't get paid. But hey what do I know. If this happens you may get several calls. They explain that this is your last shot. After this, no more warnings. You will owe them CASH immediately.
Homewise makes it perfectly clear that their contracts are IRON CLAD and that they have many lawyers on staff. I guess a company that conducts business this way may require them. Homewise also insist that all their telephone conversations are recorded. So I will assume that if you are giving them confidential information such as information to run a credit file you are exposing your information to many.
Their service is quick and precise. That way by the time YOU realize the scam, It's a done deal.
"Here at Homewise we have exhausted all resources trying to satisfy Mrs. [Member Name Removed]. As of now she has refused to allow us to do so by not communicating or allowing us back on her property to check the equipment. The equipment was never inspected by a county inspector as Mrs. [Member Name Removed] refused to allow us to schedule an inspection for the equipment. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] also filed a complaint with the BBB which as of this time has been closed since Mrs. [Member Name Removed] told the BBB on 10/5/15 that her complaint was satisfied. At this point the case has been turned over to our legal department due to nonpayment and refusal to allow the permit to be closed."
