      On 3/23 I tried to cancel my service and get a final bill. They are refusing to cancel service or stop billing me till I give a 30 day written notice and pay final bill. I paid for all the equipment up front, cash and do not remember signing any agreement stating this. The new owners move in tomorrow and o do not want the service running in my name.

      Back in June 2022 I lived in a rent house in Balch Springs Texas and 2 young gentleman came to my door and pitched me a Vivint home security system.
      They never said to my face I was signing a nine year contract that wasn’t expiring until 2027!!! They were not forth coming with alot of information. I used the home security system and paid Vivint monthly and also paid citizens one pay, a financing company, to pay for the equipment. I was charged $35 a month from Vivint and $42 a month from citizens pay. I recently moved in November 2022 and I am in a house where I’m not allowed to have a security system on the house. I have spoken with multiple customer service representatives and they refused to break my contract. I will continue to pay citizens pay the $42 a month until I pay off the equipment. I understand that I owned the security system and it’s my responsibility to pay for it. it is not my responsibility to pay for Vivint service when I am no longer using the service. I am not monitoring, nor do I have cameras on my home nor do I have the app or anything to do with Vivnt other than owning a Vivint system that I’m paying off.
      Also, there were fraudulent charges on my credit card that i had on file and I caught it. It took them months to refund me $270 that were unauthorized purchases. No one could give me an explanation or reason for the charges
      Other than a senor was purchased that I had never purchased. I will never use this company again or recommend them to anyone. I keep getting a bill every month and I call every week. They will soon send it to collections and this could really affect my credit.

      To Whom It May Concern:

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

      In her complaint, Ms. ***** states that she has moved from the service
      location in November 2022.  Ms. *****
      states that she attempted to cancel the monitoring service at that time.  Ms. ***** states that she agrees to continue
      paying for the equipment line of credit.  Ms. ***** desires to have the monitoring service contract cancelled.

      A Vivint representative has attempted to reach out to Ms. *****
      regarding this matter via email.  After
      reviewing the account, Vivint agrees to cancel the remainder of the monitoring
      service contract effective March 29, 2023, however, Ms. ***** will remain
      responsible for the balance remaining on the equipment line of credit with Citizens.

      Vivint’s records indicate that Ms. ***** signed a Purchase and Services
      Agreement (“Agreement”) on April 2, 2022.  Ms. ***** called Vivint on October 25, 2022, to schedule a removal of
      the equipment as she was moving.  October
      26, 2022, the equipment was removed and left with Ms. *****.  February 16, 2023, Ms. ***** called Vivint regarding
      the cancellation of her account due to moving and unable to install in new apartment.  March 22, 2023, Ms. ***** called Vivint
      regarding cancellation, she was informed of a 50% buyout once the equipment was
      paid in full.

      To resolve this matter, Vivint agrees to the resolution as stated

      On 02/20/23, I received an email from Vivint Smart Home stating we have confirmed your order, I was taken back by the communication because I didnt order anything. I called customer service and they informed me Carbon Monoxide monitors were ordered in error, the order will be cancelled on their end and I wont be charged. Low on behold, 5 days later Vivint shipped the item to my house & charged my acct. I called again, spoke to another representative and was advised to return the item and I will receive a refund. On 2/28, I returned the order and on 3/7, ***** tracking confirmed it was delivered to Vivint. Ive been calling customer service numerous times since then, to inquire on my refund and they have been giving me the run around. Last week Wednesday (3/16), I was assured by ***** a refund was submitted and I will receive the credit to my checking account, within 3-5 business days. I called again, today after ****** received the money and was told by a Supervisor, **** a refund will be issued and once again quoted another 3-5 business days. She stated the process varies from bank to bank. Not really sure what she meant by that, because I dont understand how long does it really take to give people their money back? This is truly unfair business practice; I never authorized or requested carbon monoxide monitors. Vivint inadvertently sent me this order, proceeded to debit my acct and are now giving me the run around to issue a refund. Ive been a customer of ********************** for ** yrs. and this is not a good example of how you treat your loyal customers. Im beyond disappointed with Vivints lack of integrity and poor customer service. I previously renewed my contract for another 4 yrs (regretfully), and as soon as its expired I will be moving on.

      On 03/21/2023, I placed an order******** for outdoor camera but needed to use a different card. The Vivint outsource representative have a very thick accent so I spent over 30 minutes to get an understanding. Instead of changing the card, I wanted to cancel the order. I asked for a supervisor after 30 minutes she disconnected the call. I call back to resolve the issue and spoke to Chase which stated the order was canceled. I reviewed the account and the wasn’t refunded as I requested, Vivint placed my funds as a credit on the account.

      On03/22/2023, I attempted to purchase an outdoor camera I did not complete the order. However Vivint system process an order without any items attached. I called Vivint to ask about the refund in the amount $541.23 and was told my account have to be Auto Pay to send refund via previous method. That doesnt make sense! They assured me they would contact Account Receivable and call me. On 04/10/2023, I called to see why my refund had not posted back to the account. None of the representatives or manager can provide an explanation or why they need to have autopay.

      I am trying to cancel my service, I have been under a month to month contract. I no longer want the service. My equipment is outdated and its failing and the cost is too high. I attempted to cancel but you can only call the cancellation # between a certain hour; however, you can get all your other needs meet 24 hrs. I can't even cancel via email. You can't leave a message to have someone call you back. I get the impression this company does everything in their power to discourage from cancelling. You should stand behind your product and if someone wants to cancel let them instead of having people feel like they are hostage. I am so dissatisfied and no longer want to do business with Vivint. Please cancel my service. Accept this as a 30-day cancellation policy. I am not under contract and no longer want to do business with your company
