I would not recommend Cove Security based on my experience trying to cancel my service.
I originally called in July specifically because I wanted to cancel before moving to our new home. During that call, the conversation was difficult to follow, and somehow instead of my service being canceled, I ended up accepting one free month with my regular monthly payments scheduled to resume afterward. That was not what I intended when I called.
Fast forward to September, and I noticed I had been charged again. I contacted Cove through their online chat and was told that I had agreed to the free month followed by resuming monthly payments.
I called again today and repeatedly stated that I wanted to cancel. Instead of simply processing the cancellation, the account manager continued going through different discounts, price reductions, and upgrades. I had to keep repeating that I did not want another offer, I just wanted my service canceled. The entire conversation felt unnecessarily pushy and frustrating.
To make matters worse, I was then told that because Cove requires 30 days' notice to cancel, I am responsible for another month of service. So after originally calling in July with the intention of canceling, I am now out roughly another $60 because my account was never canceled in the first place.
My biggest issue isn't even the cancellation policy itself. It's how difficult Cove made it to simply say, "I want to cancel," and have that request honored. A cancellation should not require repeatedly declining discounts and upgrades while an account manager tries to convince you to stay.
I am extremely disappointed with the customer service and the cancellation process. Based on this experience, I would be very hesitant to recommend Cove to anyone. read more
