      We sold our first house in April of 2022. We called Vivint and asked them to come remove it from the house and when we closed on our new home, we will have them come out and reinstall everything. They told us that is fine, and we can do that. Once we moved into our new house we called and asked them to come out and install everything. The salesperson we spoke to told us "We can't do that and I don't know why they told you we can install the equipment". So after talking with him he told us in order to procced we had to get newer equipment since the stuff we had was "older" and they would forgive the old loan and start a new loan for the new equipment which would be cheaper. We wanted to use the sensors we had because they were the same ones as the new ones. He told us he would have to get special approval for us to do that, so he put us on hold for a while to do so. Finally, he comes back and tells us the manager approved it. We got everything figured out with him and the tech came out to install. The tech was very confused as to why we were getting all this new equipment installed because most of our equipment we had was the new equipment. We discussed not installing some of the new equipment due to already owning it. The tech then called corporate to make the changes. While discussing with corporate a new salesperson advised the install fee had been increased as well as some of the new equipment the prices were not discounted as the original salesperson told us they were. They stated to us and the tech that was unethical and should not have been done. After working it all out the tech and new salesperson advised the old loan is still forgiving for all the issues we are having even though we were installing significantly less equipment. We have been going back and forth for months trying to get the old loan forgiving as several employees have said it would be. They are still charging us for the old loan and giving us different reason to why it can't be forgiven now.

      Issue is with a Nest Thermostat sold to us in our smart home package in the amount of $299.Since installation this device has only worked sporadically. Had a tech out in January of 2023 to address the issue because no one at vivint could reach Nest to troubleshoot. Neither vivint nor myself could reach Nest. Tech came out and swapped the unit for a new nest. The unit is back to only sporadically working with same issue as before. Numerous calls to customer svc, loyalty department, tier 3 and scheduling resulting in again failed attempts to reach nest and stating a tech would be out for an escalated status appt. The tech no showed and Im still out of a product malfunctioning. This issue is going to cost me hundreds in electricity costs as the unit is running outside constantly but off inside. Vivint refuses to swap best for giving element unless I pay another $180- I already paid $299 for the Nest and it doesnt work properly. I should not have to pay for another thermostat when first one never functioned correctly and selling agency endorsed it. I either need a full $299 refund or a tech out here with a vivent element to swap for no additional cost. There is a moral and ethical obligation here that is being completely ignored by s company that is supposed to keep my family safe. Over $4k in equipment and this is how were treated. Vivint should be absolutely ashamed.

      I have been a loyal customer with ********************** for the last ****************************** so, the quality of customer service has declined significantly. When I called about adding a camera, the agent used a lot of high pressure sales tactics (like a used car salesman) which is not how it used to be. It made me extremely uncomfortable. Today, I had a Carbon Monoxide detector that went off. Calling the VIVINT office in a panic (which later turned to anger and extreme frustration) because the noise was terrifying my dogs and me, it took 25 minutes and talking to 2 different people giving them the same information before they could even silence the alarm. Then I got 4 different stories about why I had to pay to replace the sensor. Story#1: The sensor wasn't a part of my alarm system. After I explained that it was, that it was tied to my panel and I had watched the VIVINT technician install it, I got the next story. Story#2: The warranty had expired on the sensor. When I explained to them that the sensor was labeled with an expiration date of August 2023, I got the next story. Story#3: The date on the sensor's sticker was only approximate. Story#4: Then they said that the date on the sticker was wrong because VIVINT didn't put it on the sensor. Be that as it may, VIVINT sent out the sensor and installed it. So, they should have taken the sticker off or made sure that the label was accurate-truth in advertising. They are sending out sensors to customers that are mislabeled. In the end I had to pay for the sensor, with some paltry credit. This is horrible customer service and not something that I would expect as a customer of 12 years. Going forward, ********************** should refund the full cost of the new carbon monoxide sensor to me and properly label all sensors sent out to customers (whether VIVINT makes the sensor or not) with accurate expiration dates.

      We had our security system installed back in October of 22, to this day we have had over 24 false fire alarms. A few months ago we had a tech come out and reset and test the system. Said there’s no issues. Told him how the customer service number said they were going to replace the fire alarms anyway. He knew nothing about it. Had to call his supervisor for approval. Replaced them. And we are still having false alarms at all hours of the day. We’ve had so many my children think nothing of it when it goes off.

      I have reviewed the information provided

      In her complaint, Ms. ***** states that she has had over twenty-four (24) false alarms from
      the smoke detectors since installation. She states that a technician came out
      and told her that there are no issues. Ms. *****
      states that the technician replaced the fire alarms and they are still having
      issues. Ms. ***** desires removal of the equipment, holes patched
      and removal of the financing.

      in efforts to resolve this matter. Vivint has sent a technician out to replace
      the main panel and six (6) smoke detectors in attempts to resolve this issue.

      Vivint’s records indicate that Ms. ***** signed a Purchase and Service
      Agreement (“Agreement”) on October 15, 2022. Records indicate that November 2,
      2022 Ms. ***** reported a false alarm with the smoke detector and that if the
      issue recurred the device would be replaced. December 6, 2022 Ms. *****
      reported that the smoke alarm was going off, Ms. ***** was directed to call in.
      December 31, 2022 Ms. ***** reported a fire alarm on multiple devices, a technician
      was scheduled. January 5, 2023 Ms. ***** again reported issues with the smoke
      detectors and a new technician was scheduled. March 25, 2023 Ms. ***** reported
      false alarms with the smoke detectors and requested to have the equipment
      removed. March 27, 2023 Ms. ***** worked with a representative who scheduled an
      appointment for March 29, 2023 to replace the main panel and six (6) smoke
      detectors in efforts to resolve the issue.

      With the information that is listed. Vivint has sent a technician to
      replace the panel and smoke detectors to resolve the issue. Ms. ***** may
      contact Vivint’s representative directly with any further questions or concerns
      in this matter.

      I am writing to request your help obtaining the refund due me from Vivint. On 5 Jan 2023, I entered into a 30 day trial period for a Vivint smart Home System. I was told if I did not like the system, I could cancel anytime in the first 30 days and Vivint would refund all my costs, remove their equipment, reinstall my old equipment and it would be as if they (Vivint) had never been here. That evening I paid $51.47 for the first month service and $2468.05 for the equipment. On 9 Jan, I notified our agent I did not want the system and on 10 Jan followed with the written notice. Two weeks passed before I contacted **************** to ask why the equipment had not been picked up and the status of my refund I was assured the account was marked to be closed and someone would be out for the equipment. On 7 Feb 2023, I was charged another monthly fee, called **************** again, was lead to believe all would be handled within 3-5 business days. The equipment was finally picked up on 2/15. The technician installed my old panel in a manner that it would not work and refused to reinstall the driveway camera. I then incurred a $192.72 bill to have it corrected. Numerous calls to **************** have only yielded promises of a refund in 3-5 business days but never happens, with one small exception. They did refund $42.29 (I believe this amount came from an old contract my husband had several years ago). I feel, based on their sales pitch, they owe me ($51.47 x 2) + $2468.05 + $192.72 - $42.29 = $2721.42.

      Vivint will not cancel service that we order on April 18, 2022 due to us being mislead to terms of service after we explained we were renting for a 12 month period. They mislead us into a 36 month agreement and will not cancel until we pay over $1000 in additional monthly service costs. ** do not have a fully executed contract and our signature does not appear valid. ** are relocating to another rental and need to cancel service. My wife has MS and this is creating a significant amount of stress on her which is not good for her health. ** just need to cancel service and have the amount removed as we feel this was a deceptive practice and not clearly communicated by the sales rep. ** were told this is a monthly service not a 3 year contract. The right sales information changes our decision to purchase or not. ** paid for the equipment and are paid up to date. ** tried calling several times on March 24, 2023 to have this resolved with one of the reps named ****** to no avail. They seemed very unwilling to address our concerns and with the amount of information surrounding deceptive practices makes this even more unsettling. They should review how they are selling these contracts to customers as they should be similar to other services (utilities) provided to homeowners. ** will not pay for services we can not use. Leaves a very, very bad taste in our mouth. Let us cancel service without charges for services we do not need. ** do not have this kind of money to waste. ** relied on honesty and integrity of your company and sales rep which is apparently lacking.

      I canceled my service with Vivint after 7+yrs with them due to a move. I canceled by email and got a confirmation that it was received #S7413287 on January 30,2023. I have been charged $55.72 on on Feb 7th and March 3rd for these services. I have contacted Vivint multiple times and have been told I would be getting a refund and that it would take 30 days. My first contact with them was January 30th. My last contact was today 3/24/23. I have been told that I will be charged again and that a refund would be issued in 30 days. Vivint no longer has permission to charge my account as I have canceled my services. I would like a refund and for them to stop charging my account.

      To Whom It May ***************** have reviewed the information provided by ******************** and appreciate the opportunity to respond. 

      In her complaint, ******************** states that she cancelled her service on January 30, 2023 but that Vivint continues to charge her for services. She explains that she has been promised a refund but has not received it. ******************** desires cancellation of her account and a refund of the two payments that have been taken since her cancellation request.

      A representative from Vivint has contacted ******************** via email. Vivint agrees to cancel Ms. ********* Agreement without penalty and to refund her payments in February and March.

      Vivints records indicate that ******************** signed a System Purchase and Services Agreement on January 28, 2020 with an initial term of sixty (60) months. When she sent her notice of cancellation on January 30, 2023 she was still within the term of her Agreement and the account was not cancelled.

      Despite the validity of this Agreement, Vivint agrees to cancel the remaining balance and refund the payments taken in February and March 2023. A refund of $111.44 is going back on the credit card on file. ******************** has no further obligation to Vivint and may contact Vivints representative directly with any further questions or concerns in this matter.

       If you have further questions or concerns regarding this response, please respond to either our mailing address: *************************************************************, or fax number: **************, attention Department 160 Legal.

      Misinformed of a product upgrade. Told all I had to do was pay for the equipment. No Contract extention. Apparently there was a 5yr contract attached. I am trying to cancel services. I was told there was still 31 months left. This was after paying off equipment and 2.5 yrs. I was never informed about the contract with the monitoring service being extended.

      The business says that 60$ they will monitor and send police or fire department if the system goes off. The city requires a permit to send send said help if its not done by a phone call. I called Vivint to request about the permit as its 40$ that was not mention on the time of the contract was made for the equipment and service. Vivint then mentions that they don't take care of it in my city but they do in other citys when i mention that i don't want the service due to the extra 40$ that i can't afford to pay they then mention that i couldn't due to the equipment isn't pay off so now im stuck with this service and if something happens no one is going to come to the house because the permit has not been paid and that's not what i sign up for.
