If you are able to get a new company you will be better off. Service Smart is a total scam of a company. If you signed a yearly contract or paid in advance DEMAND your money back in person at their Ocala office...

Not to sound condescending, but you're a little late joining the party.

No problems with them so far. We had Stellar before them with no problems. I guess we are just lucky.

Has anyone sued them. It is almost an insult to have to pay another $137 to file a small claims suit and waste even more time on this. I guess they realize this too and they play the system. I wish I had seen all these posts before I got involved with them.

I don't understand why people don't get together and file a class action lawsuit. It's obvious that this company is not meeting its contractual requirements based on frequent posts. It seems to me that even the threat of an attorney regarding a class action would change their abhorrent behavior.

And apparently Seniors bs Crime has not been successful either. And they do a great job.

Thank you all for your comments.I might try going to their office.I hate to throw good money after bad, and waste a lot of time on this. I'm getting too old for this stuff.

I had same problem. Mine was due August, they were a no show and just came last week. I don't bother calling so probably my fault. I think that is the business model for some of these businesses. Grease the wheel that squeaks.
