Complaint Review: Service Masters Terminix

On October 21, 2005 I gave my 2 week notice to Terminix International at the Glen Burnie, MD branch. They had me turn in all of my equipment and terminated me on the spot.They also took premiums for my insurance coverage from my wages; then the proceeded to cancel my coverage as of midnight the 21st of October even after they took the premiums out of my check. On or about October 24, 2005 my son had to see a Pediatric Cardiologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. Thankfully he was cleared and released. We gave the doctor's office our B/C B/S card paid the co-pay and left. But the claim was denied and is now in the hands of an attorney who is proceeding with collections against us. Upon contacting Service Masters, Inc. (parent company of Terminix) they advised me that they cancel all benefits on the last day of employment and DO NOT refund premiums taken from payroll checks! I told them that sounds like fraud or even theft. On this past Saturday May 6, 2006 I received a refund check for premiums. I will not cash this check as I see it as an admission of guilt. I am seeking counsel to litigate this for me now.
