  I emailed Safe Home Security Services (SHS) on September 26, 2023 notifying them that I was cancelling services due to a faulty alarm that buzzed in our home for over one week and this company 1) did nothing about it, and 2) is continuing to send me bills. At first the bills were being mailed to my house and now I am starting to receive email bills as well. I provided notice in writing and they are now harassing me. I discontinued service because they allowed our emergent issue continue for well over a week (during a holiday nonetheless). We had company and it was a major disruption. After the week of loud buzzing, I managed to make it stop, and then it was another three weeks before a service person could get to us. It was beyond unacceptable service. That was when I finally had enough and discontinued the horrible service. I was not refunded for the month of "service" that I was charged for but did not receive (Sept. 2023). A rep from the SHS company did affirm cancellation. Yet, here we are almost two years later continually being harassed by this "company".

  *** ********* ** ******** * ********* ******** **** **** ********* **** ********

  Safe Home Security is in receipt of ********* ********** complaint.

  The client outlines that her system began malfunctioning and emitting a buzzing sound in September 2023. She believes it was the company’s responsibility to contact her upon this issue occurring. Additionally, she requests that we cease all communication and void her contract for monitoring services.

  To clarify, *** ******** is currently under contract with Safe Home Security through May 2027. As outlined in her signed agreement, Page 3, Line 22 states the following:

  22. WARNING AND TESTING OF EQUIPMENT.

  Smoke detectors, panic buttons, medical pendants, and other electronic components operate off A.C. (electric) or battery power. If batteries become dead or electric power is lost, smoke detectors and other components will not operate and the alarm will not sound or communicate to the central station.

  The System and all components should be tested by the Client at least twice monthly through to the central station to ensure the System is functioning. If the Client discovers malfunctions or desires explanation on System testing, they should contact the Company’s service department for immediate service. The Company assumes no liability for periodic testing of the System.

  Based on this clause, the client's expectation that the company should have notified her when the system began buzzing is a misplaced expectation, as the responsibility for periodic testing and request for service lies with the client.

  Furthermore, there was no service request made by the client after the incident in September of 2023. Instead, our records reflect that she contacted us solely to request cancellation of services in favor of another provider being able to install for her and provide " sooner service". That verbal cancellation request was followed by a written notice on the same day, which our company does have logged.

  At this time, the client is not eligible for cancellation without fulfilling the financial obligation of the remainder of the contract. A contract payoff amount of $1,930.12 is required to proceed with cancellation. A copy of Ms. ********** current contract is being included with this response for reference.

  We respectfully request that this complaint be marked as closed and resolved.

  Sincerely,
  Princess B***

  On 1/6/25 I called to cancel my service and was told I needed to send an email. An email was sent with all the information that day. I had a phone call with customer service confirming I wanted to cancel. One month later was billed again. Called and spoke with the same customer service agent again and she assured me that was the last billing and all my billing information was removed and that it was officially cancelled. Then March 3/1 I was billed again, had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Spoke with Safe Home and they said that it was cancelled and that there was no more to be billed. Then 3/31 got a bill in the mail saying that they were unable to draft more money so they were adding on fees and were going to bill me quarterly. Called and spoke with more people from safe home and they said my account was not cancelled. Now it is supposedly cancelled and no balance on the account, however they are not able to email that information because they were trying but the emails were not going through.

  ******** ******** ** *** ********* ** ******** 

  Safe Home Security is in receipt of Client ******* ****'s complaint regarding billing for service beyond her cancellation request. After a careful review of Ms. ****'s account, I have found the following:

  On January 2, 2025, Ms. **** contacted us to cancel her service due to her relocation out of the country. She was provided with the appropriate instructions that day on where to send her cancellation request, including our designated email address. Ms. **** subsequently submitted her cancellation request, which was received and applied to her account on January 3, 2025.

  According to the terms of Ms. ****’s agreement:
  "THE INITIAL TERM STARTS ON THE DAY THIS AGREEMENT IS SIGNED. THE TOTAL CASH PRICE YOU WILL PAY US FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED IS $1439.64 ($39.99 X 39 MONTHS, NOT INCLUDING APPLICABLE TAXES). THERE IS NO FINANCING CHARGE OR COST OF CREDIT (0% APR) ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AGREEMENT. SERVICE CHARGES MAY APPLY FOR NON-ACH PAYMENT METHODS. AFTER THE INITIAL TERM, THIS AGREEMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE MONTH-TO-MONTH, AND EITHER PARTY MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME UPON AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY."

  The notice provided by Ms. **** on January 2, 2025, initiated the 30-day notice period, which means the agreement should have been terminated by February 2, 2025. As such, Ms. **** should not have been billed beyond this date.

  We sincerely apologize for the oversight and are processing a refund of $92.38, which was incorrectly billed after the cancellation request. Ms. **** can expect the funds to be returned to her within the next 30 days.

  We greatly appreciate your time and attention to this matter and regret any inconvenience this may have caused Ms. ****. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  I signed a contract with Safe Home Security in August of 2023. I never received a copy of the executed contract, even though I was told it would be mailed to me. At the time the sales person told me it was for 36 months, but after speaking to customer service about ongoing issues with my system recently, I was told that it is a 60 month contract. Now, for the technical issues...I first called customer service on 11/28/2023, requesting a technician to install hidden door sensors. The original installer did not have any with him, so he installed external sensors. He sent me the hidden sensors in the mail, and said I could install the myself. I could, but I need and installer's code (which I do not have) to sync them to my panel or they are useless. Customer service told me that there was no technician in my area, but one would call me when they came through here. That never happened. I began having other issues with my system (doorbell camera, carbon monoxide detector), and I have called customer service four different times in the past month. Each time I am told a tech should call me within 2 days, and I am still waiting. I even spoke to their Customer Complaint agents, and was told basically the same thing. I was also told that my monthly service fees would be adjusted due to lack of service, and that has not happened either. So, they are either extremely inept, or they just outright lie to you...maybe both. First, I would like a copy of my executed contract from Safe Home Security to give to my attorney and second, I would like my system fixed and my service fees adjusted as promised. What I would really like is for Safe Home Security to declare my contract with them, null and void, due to extreme lack of service. I can honestly say that I have never dealt with a worse company, and their deceptive sales and contracts are probably the only reason they are still in business.

  *** ****,
  
  BBB Complaint ID ******** – **** ****
  Safe Home Security Response
  Safe Home Security is in receipt of Mr. **** ****’s complaint, which outlines a dispute regarding the terms of his agreement and a reported ongoing need for service.
  Since the filing of this complaint, *** ****’s concerns have been addressed. The three door/window contacts he referenced have been successfully installed, and the client also received a full system inspection. At this time, the system is functioning as designed.
  To demonstrate good faith and our commitment to customer satisfaction, *** **** was previously provided with one month of complimentary monitoring. Additionally, we are issuing an extra month of free monitoring at this time.
  Regarding the client’s statement that he was unaware of the terms of the agreement, we have video documentation of *** **** completing a closing survey following installation. During this survey, he was asked to confirm both the monthly rate of $69.99 and the 63-month term of the agreement—both of which he acknowledged and agreed to.
  A copy of the confirmation call will be provided to the client on April 14, 2025, for his reference.
  Given that the service issues have been resolved, contractual terms were confirmed, and goodwill efforts have been extended, we respectfully request that this complaint be marked as resolved.

  This company is horrible. They took over $70 out of my checking account and said it was for a dispatch call. It was done in error and lied to me saying they will refund me, and never did. They continue to give me the runaround, no answers, no resolution. This company needs to be put out of business. Since I signed up with them, it has been nothing but problems. I absolutely regret signing up with them and I think I will be taking this to court.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We sincerely apologize for any frustration or confusion you’ve experienced.

  Upon reviewing your account, we found that the charge in question was related to a guard dispatch that occurred on October 31, 2024, following a panic alarm signal received from your system. As outlined in Section 9 of your agreement, once a panic or emergency signal is received, we are required to dispatch a guard to the premises in jurisdictions where the local authorities require on-site verification before responding to an alarm.

  Our monitoring center responded in accordance with these requirements and dispatched a private guard service on your behalf. Section 9 of the agreement also states that the customer is responsible for any costs and fees associated with private response services, which applies in this case.

  We understand you were initially told a refund might be possible, and we regret any miscommunication that may have occurred. However, because the dispatch was completed in accordance with your signed agreement, and services were rendered, the charge stands as valid.

  That said, as a courtesy, we will be placing a one month credit on your account. We hope this gesture demonstrates our commitment to resolving your concerns and improving your experience moving forward.

  If you have any further questions or would like to discuss your account, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Support team.

  I want the full refund of the $70 as promised by one of their representatives as you see in the attached email screenshot. In addition, I want out the remaining contract at no cost left to me because this company is clearly a fraud. I should have read all reviews before signing with this company. They lied over and over to me. This is a horrible company and they lie, just to string you along.

  We acknowledge that *** ******** has expressed a wish to end the service, but wewould like further clarification on the specific reasons for her request, as we have not received a clear explanation. Our goal is to fully understand her concerns and address any issues she may be experiencing with the service.

  This was the home security for my deceased mother (died 3/18.25). When we called to discontinue monitoring service we were told that they have a contract and that it would be around $2,300 to buy out the contract my mom agreed to (hard to believe she understood this as she was battling terminal blood cancer for the last 2 years of her life). We told them that my mother was the only one living at the house and she has died. We offered to send them the death certificate and they said that was fine but they would go after her estate for this so called "contract buyout" charge. This is unbelievably heartless and ridiculous.

  We are writing in response to BBB Complaint ID ********, regarding the cancellation request submitted by the daughter of *** ***** ****.

  *** **** signed up with Safe Home Security following the passing of her husband. During the renewal process, Mrs. Eddy expressed concerns about being unable to fulfill the entirety of the new 60-month agreement due to her cancer diagnosis. The representative who handled her renewal explained that in the event of her passing, the family would need to provide documentation, such as a death certificate, to process a cancellation.

  To date, we have not received a cancellation request or a death certificate for *** ****. In order to proceed with the cancellation of her service, we kindly ask that *** ****'s daughter submit both the cancellation request and a copy of *** ****’s death certificate to **********************.

  Once we receive the necessary documentation, we will be able to move forward with the cancellation.

  We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to resolving this matter promptly.

  A rep from Safe Home came to my home and signed me up with the company. After about 3-4 months, the same rep came back and stated that Safe Home had been "taken over" by *** and that my contract and equipment would be moved to ***. After a few months, I continued to get a bill from Safe Home. I contacted Safe Home and asked why I still had a bill. The lady told me that I was still under contract with them. I told her what happened and she advised me to contact my local councilman about what happened because it had happened to a few customers as well. Now, I've been contacted to get out my contract with *** and go back to Safe Home Security. This incident was not my fault. I contacted Safe Home initially. They did NOT contact me. I don't want to do that back and forth with changing equipment or entering another contract with them.

  ******** ******** ** *** ********* ** ******** * ****** ****

  We are in receipt of the complaint filed by *** ****** **** regarding her request to cancel the services provided by Safe Home Security. We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

  *** **** contracted with Safe Home Security on April 8, 2022, for a 61-month agreement, which has an expiration date of May 7, 2027. While *** **** indicates she called to request a cancellation in 2023, we do not have a record of such a request in our internal documentation. Additionally, as the contract was for a fixed 61-month term, cancellation prior to the agreement’s expiration date would not have been possible unless all remaining payments for the contract were settled.

  Based on the terms of the contract, *** **** is not eligible for early cancellation unless the balance for the remainder of the term is paid in full. The amount required to close the contract is $1,534.19.

  We are committed to resolving this matter in a fair and transparent manner and look forward to receiving a response from *** **** through your platform.

  Safe Home Securities Inc., has been illegally collecting funds since we notified them of our move in 2021. They took advantage of us notifying them that we were moving and only changed our billing address vs. canceling our home security services as requested. Since this was on auto-billing, we never noticed the charges until we started receiving new bills in the mail advising we were late. We were getting these bills because the card that the auto-billing was associated with, was cancelled. This is how we found out. We called SHS to dispute and they sent us through a channel of representatives who bullied us through the process and offered a 'buyout' of our contract because they said Idaho law wouldnt allow them to cancel anything or handle any other issues via phone. These are corrupt individuals. We would like to be reimbursed the $$ they have been stealing from us for years now.

  We will be cancelling the account without further obligation.  We will not be refunding any monies as the client has a responsibility to send in a written cancellation letter.  This needs to be submitted within the terms and the renewal terms of the agreement.

  To whom it may concern, I’ve been going back-and-forth with Safe Home Security since August 2024, which I simply request to cancel my account. I didn’t notice that my account was not being billed which I assume that it was canceled. They continue to say that I owe them money, which I do not because I simply asked them to cancel. This company is trying to rip me off I simply just want to be let out of this account with no money paid I’ve called multiple times and get nothing but the runaround and lies told to me

  ******** ** *** ********* ** ********

  Safe Home Security acknowledges receipt of the complaint from Mr. ***** **********. His complaint expresses a desire to cancel his service due to a non-functioning alarm system.

  The client’s system requires an upgrade from 3G to 4G to ensure proper communication. From February 2023 to August 2024, our team attempted to contact the client 10 times to schedule this necessary upgrade, but we did not receive a response.

  Upon receiving this complaint, Senior Account Executive Teri N**** reached out to Mr. ********** one final time, offering to restore the system’s communication, maintain his monthly rate at $39.99, and waive his past-due balance of $282.00. However, the client declined and reiterated his intent to discontinue service.

  Given the circumstances, we are proceeding with a penalty-free cancellation of his account. We kindly request that Mr. ********** allow up to 30 days from this communication for the cancellation to be finalized.

  We appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and request that this complaint be marked as resolved.

  Sincerely,
  Princess B***
  Retention Manager
  Safe Home Security
