      I have completed 5 year contract. Even though just over a year into my contract their equipment failed, and they refused to come out to evaluate and fix their equipment without charging me. I finally completed my contract in July 2025. I called on July 17th to cancel, after having to go through 3 different people, they finally allowed me to cancel. In August 2025 a bank draft for another month of service! I called talked to 2 different people, they said they canceled it. The. Today 9/15 another bank draft for another month of service! I called talked to someone. They said I have to agree to another payment if I wanted to cancel! No. I want this cancelled and I want 3 months refunded to me! This is absolutely crazy!!! It’s easier to get a divorce!

      On June 25, 2025, I moved and the day before had a Vivint representative remove the equipment. On separate occasions I attempted to have someone come reinstall the equipment, but no one ever called to confirm an appointment, so at that point I requested my account just be cancelled since my original contract already came to an end. With the INSTALLATION at the NEW address, a new contract for one year should have gone into effect for a lower monthly rate. Without being able to use the services, I should not be charged a monthly service fee, and a contract should not have even gone into effect. I called several times over the last two months and was told that they were cancelling the contract and refunding my money. They never did either. Today I was contacted for an overdue bill, a bill that is for services I have not used since moving, that I informed them I will not pay. When asking to speak to a supervisor, they just told me it wasn't possible because they were on another call, I asked for the supervisor's name, and he said it was "Lovely", and they are not allowed to provide last names. The rep said his name was "******" and badge is *******, I do not believe these are their real names. A representative previously even became very rude with me for wanting to cancel and stated, "you must not care about your daughter's safety," for wanting to terminate service. I do to care for a refund, at this point I need my account closed and balance erased. This is absurd. Every time I call, I am ignored and transferred until I give up and just have to hang up the phone. This is the most unprofessional company I have ever used in my life.

      A Vivint representative has reached out to Ms. ****** and a resolution has been agreed upon. At this time, Vivint has agreed to downgrade the equipment, which includes the removal of 2 outdoor cameras and 2 spotlight cameras. A technician will be scheduled to complete the equipment pull. Once this has been completed, we will proceed with submitting the request to reinstate the previous contract term, downgrade the equipment, refund the associated line of credit Lastly, Ms. ****** has decided to move forward with canceling the account. Submitting the account for cancellation will be the final step in this process. Ms. ****** may contact Vivint’s representative directly if there are any questions or concerns regarding this matter.

      Just to make sure this is completely accurate, the equipment will not need to be pulled because it is already in its original packaging and is ready to be picked up. Also, with all of this I hope that the balance for the months the equipment wasn’t in use is also refunded and cleared from the account.

      We’ve had Vivint for the past probably 5 years. It’s always an issue with the equipment, cameras not working. Today we had a group of juveniles looking into our cars and the cameras did not get it picked up. Cameras suddenly stop working and it’s always an issue after issue. We always have to restart everything, and their resolution? A protection plan for a service that does not meet their selling points. It’s suppose to be the best of the best but it is the worse. I’ve tried cancelling today and they’re just giving me the run around.

      We inherited equipment from a previous owner who unbeknownst to us did not take very good care of it. We have had problems almost from day one. Promises have been made to upgrade equipment that have not come to fruition. Technicians have promised to return calls but have not. A tech visit was scheduled and cancelled without notification. Attempts to resolve this via online chat have been unsuccessful as have all attempts to call any Vivint phone number. All Vivint phone numbers are stuck in a loop where you are greeted then transferred before being provided an opportunity to select an option and then you are transferred back to the initial greeting. This occurs at Vivint Customer Retention ************ as well as every other # associated with Vivint.

      A dispute has already been filed for the total charged to my credit card.

      We want our money back and our contract cancelled without any additional charges or repercussions.

      To Whom It May Concern,

      I am filing a formal complaint regarding the conduct of a Vivint door-to-door salesman who came to my residence on September 9, 2025, despite my clearly posted No Soliciting sign.

      The salesman admitted he had read the sign but chose to ignore it. When I pointed this out, instead of acting respectfully, he responded in an unprofessional and condescending manner, asking me if I knew how to read. He then proceeded to make snide remarks about how he “makes a lot of money” going door to door, as though this excused his disregard for my request not to be solicited.

      This behavior was not only a blatant violation of my posted sign but also incredibly disrespectful. Homeowners should not be subjected to harassment or rudeness at their own front doors, especially from representatives of a major company.

      I request that the BBB document this complaint and that Vivint take accountability for the actions of its sales representatives. Specifically, I would like confirmation that Vivint will address this issue internally by:
      1. Training its door-to-door sales staff to respect No Soliciting signs.
      2. Enforcing higher professional standards when engaging with potential customers.

      No consumer should have to endure this type of treatment in their own home.

      I have attempted to cancel my Vivint service multiple times since August 24, 2025, and Vivint has repeatedly stalled, upsold, or contradicted itself instead of honoring my request.

      Aug 24, 2025: I emailed written notice requesting cancellation at the end of my billing cycle.

      Sep 2, 2025: I called twice. The first rep refused cancellation, tried to upsell, and was so unclear (speech/headset issues) I had to end the call. On the second call (recorded with consent), the rep began clear but suddenly changed speech patterns once I declined offers, making the conversation confusing until I called him out, at which point his clarity returned. He still refused cancellation, claiming proof of contract was required.

      Sep 2–present: I exchanged emails with a supervisor who admitted in writing that (1) no Purchase and Service Agreement is on file for my account, and (2) I am a month-to-month customer. Despite this, she insists cancellation cannot be processed in writing and must be done by phone.

      Sep 9, 2025: I provided my phone number and a 9am–1pm call window. No call was received. Instead, Vivint claimed a “30-day notice” is required, even though I gave notice on Aug 24 and again on Sep 2. Any notice requirement has already been satisfied.

      Key Issues: Vivint refuses to accept written cancellations, uses phone calls to upsell, admits I am month-to-month with no contract on file, and misuses “30-day notice” as a stalling tactic.

      Resolution Requested:

      Written confirmation that my account is cancelled effective Sep 22, 2025 (end of my current paid billing cycle).

      Assurance no further charges will be made after that date.

      Confirmation my account will not be sent to collections.

      I have emails, the recorded call, and account documents showing no contract. I have acted in good faith; Vivint has not.

      To Whom It May Concern:

      I have reviewed the information provided by Mr. ***** and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

      In his complaint, Mr. ***** requested immediate cancellation of his Vivint services effective September 22, 2025, with no additional charges billed after that date and written assurance that his account will not be sent to collections. These requests stem from a delayed cancellation process involving upselling, contradictory responses, and refusal to honor written cancellation notices.

      Vivint’s records confirm that Mr. ***** contacted us in August 2025 to request cancellation. A Vivint representative attempted to reach Mr. ***** via phone and email to assist with the matter.

      After reviewing the account, Vivint has approved the cancellation request and expedited the process. The account is scheduled to be closed within two business days, rather than following the standard 30-day cancellation period. No further charges will be applied, and the account will not be sent to collections.

      Mr. ***** may contact Vivint’s representative directly with any questions or concerns regarding this resolution.

      I acknowledge that Vivint has now confirmed my account is cancelled, with no further charges or collections, which is the outcome I originally sought. For that reason, I find this resolution satisfactory.

      However, I want to note for the record that this resolution required multiple written notices, several unsuccessful phone calls, and ultimately the filing of this BBB complaint before Vivint acted. At no point should a customer be forced into repeated upsell attempts, contradictory explanations, or coerced phone calls simply to cancel a month-to-month account with no contract on file.


      The cancellation itself is satisfactory, but the process was unnecessarily difficult and stressful. Future customers should be aware that persistence and escalation may be required to achieve even a basic cancellation.

      On april 27, a Vivint sales representative came to my home. They offered security services but deliberately concealed the fact that they were applying for financing through a third-party company, Fortiva.
      I was told my signature and documents were only for 'authorization' to install equipment and for Vivint's service. They never mentioned Fortiva, a loan, or a credit account. I never received contracts in Spanish, my native language.
      I only discovered the problem when Fortiva began reporting a credit account I never authorized to the credit bureaus, damaging my credit score. This account number is XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-****.
      I have already filed a formal fraud dispute with Fortiva's fraud department (I have proof of submission). I am filing this complaint to hold Vivint accountable for their deceptive sales practices and to request that they instruct Fortiva to immediately close the fraudulent account and remove it from all credit reports."

      For the first 15 months of having my Vivint system it was worry free. It was a self installation system that I received by mail ordering. If I need a technician for any help, that is not and option unless I would pay a $99 fee. Since things were going well, I ordered 2 outdoor cameras. When the cameras arrived from Vivint, they could not connect to their own equipment after multiple hold times and trouble shooting attempts. I returned the cameras to them. I bought on my own 2 light bulb cameras on my own to protect the outside of my home. Present day, I tried to change the security code to my Vivint system. After several days and hours and hold times, it was determined that my Hub base no longer works. They told me they would send me a new one and then I would be able to change my security code. I received the new Security System Hub and the entire system along with the phone App no longer worked. My house no longer had security for 4 to several days. Every evening after work I was on the phone troubleshooting with one service **** after another. No one truly knows what is going on with the equipment. I asked for in person service and was told that even though this was not my fault, I would have to pay $99 or more to have it looked at. After going back and forth, I called to discontinue my service. Then, they told me I would have to pay an early termination payment of $789.00 for breach of contract. I declined. They did not keep up their end of the terms by providing an optimal security system. Therefore, I consider our relationship ended.

      This complaint is to detail a recurring and highly concerning business practice by Vivint that has resulted in continuous billing errors, miscommunication, and a significant amount of stress. This pattern appears to be a deliberate strategy to delay or prevent account cancellations, negatively impacting customers.
      I called Vivint to cancel my security system service because we sold our house. The representative I spoke with confirmed my cancellation request and provided verbal assurance that my account would be closed.
      Despite this confirmation, Vivint failed to process the cancellation. A few weeks later, I received a call from Vivint stating that I owed money for the service, as my account was never canceled. I explained that I had already canceled. I was told a refund would be issued.
      This exact scenario has now repeated itself on multiple occasions. Each time, I call Vivint, and a representative confirms that my account will be canceled and any owed money will be refunded. However, the cancellation is never actually processed, and I am subsequently contacted again, now owing for additional months of service.
      The most recent example of this occurred last week. My wife spoke with a representative and we explained it yet again. They said her the account would be cancelled, but advised her to call back on Monday to confirm the cancellation. When she called on Monday (today), a new representative informed her that no cancellation request was ever submitted on the previous call. This directly confirms the pattern of representatives verbally agreeing to a cancellation but failing to process it, presumably to avoid a negative impact on their performance metrics.
      This is not a one-time clerical error; it is a systemic and malicious business practice that is causing me significant frustration and has the potential to ruin my credit score. It is a gross failure of customer service and business ethics.
