      We have been waiting for ************ installers to call us for a reinstallation. We have been told many times on the phone that an installer will call. The installer will call within 3 days, but they never call. We have been billed for the system even though we are still waiting on the reinstall. We just truly want the reinstall done and a refund for the 3 months reimbursed. They would actually tell me the installer was on other line and they would call immediately and never called.

      Ms.
      Reba Mcfarlin,

      This
      letter is in response to your complaint regarding your Brinks Home account. I
      attempted to contact you at the phone number provided in your correspondence
      but was unable to reach you.

      Regarding
      your request for a billing adjustment due to delays in the installation of your
      alarm system, our records show that a service appointment is scheduled for
      reinstallation on June 25, 2025.

      Further
      investigation confirms that multiple attempts have been made to contact you
      regarding the scheduling of this service, starting from May 27, 2025.
      Unfortunately, there were no responses to these attempts, which were confirmed
      during phone calls received on June 12, 2025, and June 16, 2025.

      Based
      on our review of the situation, Brinks Home respectfully declines your request
      for a refund.

      If you have any other account concerns, I am available Monday
      through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Central Standard Time.

      Brinks home security made a deal with me that I was to receive home monitoring, and the equipment fees were to be totaled into my monthly bill, and that I would pay the sum of the equipment devided into my term if 3 years.They came and installed the equipment, and even charged me for my monthly bill, with equipment fees added into it. Shortly after a month, they withdrew over $1800 from my account on a Friday. During my breaks at work I called them and informed them of this and that I needed a refund immediately, because I was never informed of a bill over $1800, never given a warning or notice, and that in fact my agreement had my equipment fees decided into my monthly payments. The *** looked into my bill and did in fact verify that the full amount withdrawn was for equipment fees, and 1 fee for when they attempted to withdraw the 1800 prior but failed, plus a travel fee for the installation tech. I also informed them it was agreed for free install as well.The *** then verified that I was in fact being charged equipment fees monthly as well.The *** reached out to there supervisor, and told me they would work to get it resolved and I would hear back from the *** with updates.Hours later I did not hear back, so I txt they text number. The *** informed me of the same thing.After work, at close to 7pm, I called again. This time they informed me that the other department closed at 5 and could not help me until Monday.I informed them that the money was not agreed to be withdrawn, and was unauthorized, and that the money was intended for my car note, as well as other loans, and without the funds I would not be able to cover the other fees I was soon to receive from other bills as well. And I informed them I feel this is not being handled in a timely manner.This occurrence has breached my trust, and as a company monitoring my entire home, trust is the most important part of the agreement. This has caused me major hardship, stress, and anxiety. And is unacceptable.

      process a refund for the equipment once the alarm equipment has been returned
      to the specified account.

      I have spoken with an executive member of the brinks team, and came to a resolution for the issue. We agreed that I would receive a partial upfront refund, for the equipment that was supposed to be financed, and that a shipping label would be sent through UPS to my residence and should arrive within 2 or 3 days. I'm responsible for returning the equipment, and after they receive the returned equipment they will issue the rest of the refund, and cancel my contract without any further charges or fees. I agree with the resolution and now awaiting the return shipping.

      I am writing to formally dispute the continuation of the monitoring service on the Brinks Home Security account associated with my late mothers residence, as well as to request the cancellation of said service. My mother, passed away on February 21, 2025. Since her passing, the home has remained unoccupied, and as of March 2025, there has been no power or internet service at the property.This account was opened jointly only because Brinks required a co-signer; however, the home was solely owned by my mother from the beginning of the contract until her passing, and her name was the only one listed on the deed. She was the responsible party for the billing and maintained the account in good standing until her death.Given that my mother, the homeowner and primary responsible party, has passed away, and the property has not been in use since, I respectfully request immediate termination of the monitoring services and cancellation of any further billing. It is neither reasonable nor lawful to require continued payment for services tied to a property that is no longer active, occupied, or under the care of the deceased.Please consider this a formal dispute of any charges made to the account after February 21, 2025. I request written confirmation that the account has been closed and that no further collection activity or charges will occur.Attached, please find a copy of my mothers death certificate and proof of her ownership of the property, should you require documentation for your records.Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I hope to resolve this quickly and respectfully.

      Ms.
      Sandra Cordero,

      This
      letter is in response to your recent complaint concerning your Brinks Home
      account. My attempt to contact you at the phone number provided in your
      correspondence was unsuccessful.

      You
      requested an update to your credit profile and questioned the validity of an
      alarm initiated by your ex-spouse. According to our records, the account in
      question was canceled due to non-payment on August 19, 2024, and was
      subsequently placed in collections. Further review confirmed the validity of
      the Alarm Agreement, which was initiated on June 26, 2020. The initial contract
      term was 60 months, with an end date of June 25, 2025.

      Additionally,
      our records show that on February 6, 2024, you contacted us to request the
      cancellation of the service, citing lack of usage and stopping payments through
      your financial institution. Our representative informed you that the account
      was still within its contractual term, and a settlement payment of $1,402.67
      would be required to cancel the service prematurely.

      The
      call was escalated to a supervisor, who confirmed the terms of the agreement
      and advised that a fraud report should be filed with your local authorities and
      forwarded to Brinks Home for review, as you alleged that you never signed the
      contract. We have not received any documentation related to a fraud report or
      claim. Based on our investigation, Brinks Home declines your request for an
      update of your credit profile.

      Please
      direct any further correspondence regarding this matter to the appropriate
      agency listed.

      I just got off the phone with Brinks Home. I was not going to do anything until I looked up other peoples complaints. I never signed up for Brinks, they bought out the company whom I originally used years ago. I have been fine with their service.We recently sold the house that I had their service in when I was told that in *************************************** for 60 more months for a rate of $36.99. I have talked to their customer service but did not agree to a 60 month extension. In addition my monthly rate is more than this. A nice person told me we could take our panel to the new house but had to buy new sensors but it was $175 and 1 year extension or I had to pay out the 60 months. I called back and was told that deal could not happen as I had to buy a new panel, new sensors and have it installed for $520 with 2 years added or buy out the contract. I complained that I am always left with owing both time and money to them. I had no choice but to buy the new setup and my monthly is now over $50! This wrong that no matter what my contract is extended and it costs me money. No other security plan locks you in like this with no way out. I will agree to a plan but I have had service for almost 10 years and this is how you treat customers by constantly adding time. I want a better solution or cancel my service please.

      Mr. Mark Popovitz,

      This letter is in response to
      your complaint regarding your Brinks Home account. My attempt to contact you
      regarding this matter has been unsuccessful. In your complaint, you requested
      the cancellation of your account and/or a new offer to suit your move. Our
      records indicate that you are currently under an extended term resulting from
      your request to lower your rate in May of 2023. This offer started on May 4,
      2023, and is scheduled to end on May 4, 2028.

      As of today, multiple offers have been
      presented to you, which allow you to either bring your equipment with you at
      your own risk and pay for a technician to install at your new home or to accept
      a 12-month extension that will be added to your original contract period. If
      you choose the extension, you will be provided with new equipment valued at
      over $1,420. This offer has already been added and accepted to your account for
      now and appointment schedule for June 27, 2025.

      However, if you decide to
      cancel your service, Brinks Home offers a discounted negotiated buyout of the
      remaining terms of your alarm agreement. Currently, there are 24 months
      remaining on your contract. A payment terms letter will be mailed to you for
      your reference and process regarding the cancellation.

      If you have any other account concerns, I am available Monday
      through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Central Standard Time.

      I called Brinks Home to cancel service. They fought me very hard and basically wouldn't take no for an answer when asked if I would keep their service. Finally, they said the sent me an email that never came. I called again and again didn't receive the email they told me was sent. Since I receive many other emails from them, I believe they lied to me about sending the emails and did so in a deliberate attempt to make the cancellation process difficult. Looking on line, it seems that it may be their standard operating procedure to make cancellation difficult. They then tried to force me to go through a different and cumbersome cancellation process. I told them that they had wasted enough of my time and to make a note in their file that I had told them to cancel our service and that I would dispute any further charges they attempted to make on the credit card. They have since charged our card and I have disputed the charge as I told them I would. It will be easy for them to verify that we have not used the system since terminating service and I get daily emails from them saying it's not working.

      I've been using Brinks Home Security since 2020. In November 2021, I tried to cancel the service, but they wouldn't let me because I was still under a contract. However, they offered me a rate reduction if I signed a new 12-month contract. I **************, four years later, I tried to cancel the service again because the alarm hasn't worked for months. I was surprised to find that the contract I accepted in 2021 was for 47 months, instead of the 12 months they told me on the phone. In order to cancel the service, they're forcing me to pay $465 for the remaining months of the contract.This is clearly an abuse and an act of fraudulent information, for which I can't provide proof because they never sent me the contract when I renewed it. This company uses deceptive practices to forcefully retain customers. I would like the ******************** to intervene so I can cancel this mediocre and deceptive service, which I do not want to continue using under any circumstances.

      Brinks has been unresponsive to the 17 phone calls I have made since September when our alaram was going off at all hours of the night, due to sensors that were suddenly not working. This business then sent us the wrong sensors that did not correct the problem. We were charged for them and installed them ourselves. The system still did not work correctly. We had to have a service member come out to see what the problem was. We had been sent the wrong equipment and we were charged for the service visit and equipment. Whenever I call them, they tell me I'm wrong and they can do nothing to help me. That feels wrong.

      Ms.
      Kristin Cayo,

      This
      letter is in response to your recent inquiry regarding your Brinks Home
      account. I attempted to contact you at
      the contact number provided but was unable to do so.

      In
      your communication, you expressed concerns about your alarm equipment and
      disputed the billing for a technician service visit. Upon review, our records
      indicate a call on May 9, 2025, during which you reported issues with your
      equipment dating back to September 2024. The representative offered to dispatch
      a service technician under your equipment warranty, noting a $75.00 service
      fee, which you consented to. Service Job #702062168 was created, scheduled, and
      completed on May 20, 2025.

      Please
      note that there are no charges associated with any alarm equipment in our
      records.

      Based
      on this review, Brinks respectfully declines your request for a refund of the
      service visit fee.

      If you have any other account concerns, I am available Monday
      through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Central Standard Time.

      Case #23472257

      Mr.
      Kirk Elms,

      This
      letter is in response to your complaint regarding your Brinks Home account. My
      attempt to contact you at the phone number listed was unsuccessful. In your
      complaint you requested corrections to your credit profile citing a conflict
      regarding the terms of your alarm agreement.

      In
      researching this matter, our records indicate you contacted Brinks Home on July
      9, 2021. During the call, you requested the takeover of the alarm service
      associated with your property. The term of the Alarm Monitoring Agreement
      negotiated was 48 months with a contract end date of July 8, 2025. A docusign
      validating the term of the agreement was sent to the email address provided for
      validation.

      Further
      research disclosed a call dated September 26, 2023. During the call you
      requested the cancellation of your account citing  lack of usage. The agent advised there were
      22 months remaining in term and assisted in establishing electronic billing
      because you removed your auto draft payment method.

      On
      April 8, 2025, the account was cancelled for non-payment and subsequently place
      in collections due to non-payment and returned payments dating back to the
      August of 2024 bill period.

      Based
      on this information, Brinks Home declines your request for an update of your
      credit profile. Any further correspondence regarding this matter should be
      directed the agency assigned.
