EDIT: Haley from Reliance was able to resolve these issues quickly and to my satisfaction, whereas their normal support could or would not.
I currently rent an AC, furnace, and water heater through Reliance. Bill is payed every month automatically. Get a call today saying my bill is outstanding for ~$300 and that it's been outstanding from January. Figure it's phone fraud, so eventually hang up and call Reliance back to make sure. Not a fraud call, they want ~$300 for my "other account" which they say they have been sending bills to my address for since January (they say this is for the water heater).
I get my "original account" bill in the mail every single month without fail, have NEVER received one of these supposed "second account" bills via email or snail mail, (and honestly for $20 a month why would I not pay this thing compared to my large AC/Furnace bill?). Confirm address and email on "second account" all correct. "Original account" bill DOES NOT break down what the charges are for each service, it just has one big line item number for "Rental Home Comfort Service", (it doesn't say AC $50, Furnace $50, WH $20 for example).
Ask them to send current bill for "second account" to email right now - works fine. On their own website it says, the first bill for this "second account" (after adding it to my "original account", came in SEPTEMBER 2017 NOT JANUARY. Read the bill and it has line items as follows:
Jan 1, 2017 to Sep 10, 2017 (Water Heater Rental) - ~$200
Sep 11, 2017 to Dec 10, 2017 (It is October 2017) - ~$80 (Supposed to be billed Quarterly so this makes relative sense)
So right off the bat they're telling me I haven't payed a bill since January and both their online system AND THE BILL THEY JUST EMAILED ME says they sent nothing until September. And they tell me "you had to have received the paper bills since January they weren't returned here" as if I'm falsifying all this.
On top of that when I do the math, the bill is wrong in my favour, which I checked against my original "Water Heater Comfort Rental Agreement". She agrees with me that our numbers don't match but says she can't do anything about ANY of this and would I like a $15 credit for my account for the trouble, but I need to pay right now because collections will be calling again if I don't.
I ask to speak to a manager - there are none on staff today they'll have to call you back within 24h.
Completely unacceptable business practice and very poor customer service.
