The short answer
The registry records First American Home Warranty as a possible interpretation of FAHWC. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
How to handle unauthorized FAHWC charges
Unreviewed registry note: If you don't own a home or never signed up for a First American Home Warranty policy, a charge from FAHWC might indicate a billing error or fraud. First, check with your spouse or other family members to ensure they didn't independently purchase coverage or request a repair for a property you own. Sometimes, a plan is bundled into a recent real estate transaction and automatically rolls into a paid subscription after the first year.
Unreviewed registry note: If you're confident the charge is fraudulent, you should immediately contact First American Home Warranty at 1-800-992-3400 to report the unauthorized activity. You must also notify your credit card issuer or bank to dispute the charge, request a chargeback, and potentially get a new card issued to prevent further unauthorized recurring withdrawals.
Frequently asked questions
What can the FAHWC lookup establish?
It provides a reference for this exact statement wording and the registry's recorded interpretation. It cannot establish that you authorized the payment or confirm the merchant from a name match. Inspect this entry's evidence status and compare the original transaction with your account records.
What should I ask my issuer about FAHWC?
Provide the exact descriptor, amount, date and pending or posted status. Ask which transaction system was used and which merchant or originator details are available. Explain any suspected error or unauthorized payment explicitly and keep the institution's response.
