Please look up this company BEFORE doing anything with them. Look up cases against them as well. (Not every single detail is in this rant, but it covers a lot) We are currently dealing with what is in my opinion, "THE VIVINT SCAM". We were told that we had 5 years to pay off our equipment, but could cancel their home security monitoring service at anytime, that was a lie. I called 5 days after our equipment was put in and was told that they couldn't cancel our service and have them come pick up their equipment, because it had already been past their !! 3 DAY !! trial period.. what?!? I was then told I first needed to pay off the equipment that was OVER $1000.00,... so I paid it off and called back with my payoff confirmation and was told it would be canceled. Then the next month I noticed a charge for another month's monitoring fee.. wait, but it was canceled, right? I had even sent them a cancellation notice that they had asked for the month before.. nope, not canceled because they didn't have the equipment payoff confirmation number.. excuse me? So I gave it to them AGAIN, but this conversation.. I recorded myself. The guy told me we were good to go and it was canceled AND that I would even receive a partial refund! I'm thinking, "oh thank goodness, this is over"! Guess what happened a few days later.. I got an email saying that my account was NOT canceled and I needed to call them to discuss the matter. I called and now they are saying I owe them for half of a FIVE YEAR CONTRACT that I would never have agreed to beings that we are going to be moving after renovations. I spoke with them today and they said they are going to talk to our sales guy (door to door knocker, ugh I should have known) and get back with me. I'm done playing games and being stressed out. I got ahold of the Consumer protection office of attorney general for the state of Texas today and the Texas department of public safety and was enlightened on everything by their wisdom. Family, friends, and everyone that can see this.. PLEASE check with the BBB and other online resources before you let someone in your home. This is the first and last time this will ever happen to us.
