      I have had Life Alert for several years and have been happy with their service.

      I called the other day to ask them to send me a new cord for my pendant as the current one is fraying. I was told that the 'free' cord for the pendant around my neck would cost $10.00 for shipping and handling. This is outrageous! (I could order 275 feet of cord from Walmart for under $6.00.) I even spoke with a supervisor. I told him that he could put the 36-inch cord in an envelope and mail it for .60 cents. He verified that there is a $10.00 charge and that nothing could be done.

      Obviously, I did not have them send it to me as I feel this is totally ridiculous and unfair to a long-time customer.

      Thank you for being a loyal customer. In the past, we have sent you cords each time you requested it, and we waived the charge as a courtesy. Unfortunately, our cost of doing business has increased exponentially - as all companies and consumers are experiencing. However, we have not raised the cost of your lifesaving service since you joined. We had an agent reach out to you and this issue has been resolved.

      I used this service for several years THNKING that my mother would be safe in an emergency. When she fell this weekend, she used it for the first time. She only got a loud recorded MSG. After 2 hours on the floor, a neighbor called 911. This is outrageous!

      On 7/19/22 Life Alert account manager/sales person Bob******* called my 83 year old mother "pigheaded" because she wants to research their competitors.
      Verbal abuse of any (no longer potential) customer, especially of the elderly, is horrific.
      Buyers beware!

      Dear Ms. *****
      We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

      We are shocked that one of our representatives called your mother a derogatory name.
      Please know that this is NOT Life Alert's protocol.

      We have escalated this matter to Mr. Grifka's manager.

      Sincerely,
      Life Alert
