Our experience with Vivint, Inc. has devolved into an absolute nightmare, leaving us feeling…read morecompletely held hostage by a company that prioritizes billing over customer service or contractual obligations. We strongly advise anyone considering Vivint to look elsewhere - for your own peace of mind, and your wallet.
The issues began on May 19, 2025, when a technician visited our home to simply change the batteries in an upstairs motion detector. As a 50+ year old who experiences dizziness on ladders, I had proactively called Vivint to confirm that this service, including the technician's fees, would be covered by the Maintenance/Protection Plan we have been diligently paying for since March 2021, and again since July 7, 2023. We were assured it would be.
Imagine our shock when our next bill arrived a month later, showing that the Protection Plan did not cover the visit. To add insult to injury, the bill included an alleged "upgrade" to our Vivint Security system, for which we were charged over $300.00. This was a complete fabrication; no such upgrade was installed, nor was it ever discussed or authorized.
On May 30th, we called again, attempting to resolve this exorbitant and fraudulent charge. During this call, we also informed Vivint that, effective July 1st, we would no longer be residing at the property. We fully expected a straightforward cancellation process.
What followed was a relentless and futile battle for resolution. We called the Vivint Loyalty department twice on June 16th, and then the Vivint Cancellation Department on June 20th. Each call was met with unhelpful responses, runarounds, and a complete lack of accountability.
To this present date, we are still allegedly being covered by Vivint, even though none of us are living in the household, and the system is no longer functioning. We are being billed for a service we cannot use, at a property we no longer occupy, all while being ignored by every department we attempt to contact.
Vivint, Inc. has demonstrated a shocking disregard for their customers, their own service agreements, and basic ethical business practices. We have been trapped in an infuriating cycle since before May 2025, and now more than ever, we feel completely abandoned and unable to receive any assistance.
In good conscience, we are not, nor will we ever, recommend Vivint, Inc. to anyone - not to our family, acquaintances, friends, neighbors, or even complete strangers. Save yourself the immense frustration and financial burden; choose a security company that actually values its customers and provides the service it promises.
