Cleaning Service Accused of Predatory Contracts Targeting Elderly
Minneapolis, MN - A recent social media post has brought to light allegations of deceptive practices by the house cleaning service "Home a Glow," sparking concern among consumers. A local woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared her distressing experience after booking what she believed to be a one-time cleaning for her mother's residence. According to the woman, she was informed by the cleaning professional that she had been automatically enrolled in a 13-month contract, incurring a monthly charge of $59.99. The cleaning professional, whose identity is being protected, reportedly disclosed that "Home a Glow" intentionally targets elderly individuals, taking advantage of their potential unfamiliarity with reading extensive fine print in online agreements. "They literally prey on elderly people," the cleaning lady was quoted as saying, highlighting a systemic issue within the company's operations. The complainant expressed profound frustration, stating, "I am now locked into a contract which again was nowhere [in the initial booking process]." She further revealed that efforts to cancel the recurring service might necessitate canceling her credit card, as the cleaning professional indicated this was the only guaranteed way to stop the charges. Additionally, the cleaning professional noted that tips submitted through the company's app do not reach the cleaners directly, raising questions about employee compensation practices. This incident has prompted a wave of similar complaints online, with many users advising the woman to contact the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General's office. Consumer advocates emphasize the importance of scrutinizing service agreements and monitoring bank statements for unauthorized recurring charges, particularly for vulnerable populations. "This is so messed up and awful," the woman concluded, urging others to share her warning to prevent further instances of alleged predatory billing.
