      I never approved automatic renewals or automatic payments including automatic payment increases per year. Charged $20 per month in 2023 then $25 per month in 2024 then $27.25 per month in 2025. Yet alarm system was not working properly since December 2023. No resolution was provided to fix the service.

      Business Response

      Date: 07/02/2025



      Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to review your account and respond accordingly. After carefully looking into your concerns, we found that the account was placed on Autopay on May 8, 2019, by ********. At that time, ******** paid a past due balance on the account and authorized the account to be placed on Autopay and has been that way since then.

      Regarding the rate changes, we understand your concerns and would like to clarify that per your signed agreement, rate adjustments may occur over time. In accordance with this agreement, we mail a 60-day notice prior to the rate increase, which provides an option to cancel with a 30-day notice if you do not wish to accept the new terms. That said, our goal is always to work with our customers, and we are more than willing to discuss a resolution that meets your needs.

      You also mentioned that your system has not been functioning properly since 2023. Were sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, we have no record of any service requests or notifications from you regarding an issue with your system. As your service provider, its important that were made aware of any problems so we can address them promptly and ensure your system is working as it should.

      Although our agreement requires a 30-day notice to cancel your services, we waived this requirement and made your cancellation effective immediately upon your request.Additionally, there were three months of past due invoices on your account that we have waived as a courtesy. However, a refund for previously billed services will not be issued.

      We appreciate your time and well as the opportunity to have served you. Should you need any further information, please feel free to reach out to us.
