      I signed up for security services and was told by the technician who did my installation that because I owned all of my equipment I could cancel my services at anytime. After 1 year I decided that we weren't using the system and I cancelled. I spoke to them and everything was handled, or so I thought. Five months down the road, my financial account was deducted for 5 individual transactions on the same day. When I called and spoke to *************************, badge # *****, I was told that I could not cancel and that they could deduct my financial institution at any time because I had signed a contract. I explained to him that I had cancelled my services and he looked it up and verified that I had but said that they would continue to debit my account until 2026......customer service is an oxymoron with this company and they wouldn't even contact the technician that did my install to see if I was told this. All of their paperwork is electronic and they skipped over tons of it and asked for a signature. ****** learned on my end for believing the technician but I DO NOT want this to happen to anybody else for sure!!!

                Vivint Account #: *******
                Date of Agreement: December 6, 2021
               

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

      In her complaint, ************** states that she was told by her technician that because she owned her equipment she could cancel at anytime. She states that after a year she decided to cancel and notified Vivint, she states she was told everything was handled. She states that five (5) months later Vivint took five (5) separate transactions from her account. ************** states that she contacted Vivint and was told that she can not cancel due to being in contract. ************** desires a refund. 

      A Vivint representative has attempted to contact ************** via email in efforts to resolve this matter. Vivint offers cancellation of the remaining Vivint monitoring contract and its associated fees effective April 9, 2022. Vivint would provide a refund of all payments made from that date forward. 

      Vivints records indicate that ************** signed a Purchase and Services Agreement (Agreement) on December 6, 2021. Records indicate that the term of the Agreement was listed for sixty (60) months. Records show that ************** requested cancellation on April 9, 2022, where she also agreed to a deferment of payments for six (6) months. Records indicate the deferment was then denied due to not being installed over six (6) months. Records indicate that June 23, 2022 ************** told Vivint the account should be cancelled but she was still being charged, stating she was unaware of the five (5) year agreement. Records show that ************** refused to pay anything further and wants a refund of four (4) months. 

      With the listed information above Vivint offers to cancel the account effective April 9, 2022 and provide a refund. ************** may contact Vivints representative directly with any further questions or concerns in this matter.

      I have security system ADT,since 2019, I received a text saying my panel is from 2019 and I'm eligible for an upgrade,since it's not 5g so it isn't communicating. So I assumed it was ADT since they had my information. The salesperson came,I said where is your ADT info.He then explain that ADT sold my information to his company Vivint. That ADT isn't working since I don't have a new panel. Before I knew it he had me signing contracts ,he had me believe I was paying ADT for nothing and Vivint is better. That same day the system was put in . The last thing the salesperson said was call ADT and cancel.The next day I did, but ADT said I would have to pay off my contract. I contacted the salesperson,he said no problem my company will pay off your contract. Well now I'm in two contracts and Vivint is giving me no help and the salesperson is not responding to my texts. I have been on the phone with Vivint trying to cancel, I know I had the 3 day where u can cancel but the salesperson strung me along till it passed 3 days. I have asked to talk to supervisor, they won't come on the phone. I didn't ask for any of this, now I'm in two contracts,I can't afford to pay two security systems. I have a text from that salesperson saying he would take care of it. This company is scamming people and getting away with it. Each day I get the run around,no one is helping me. I just want to cancel Vivint and get my ADT reattached and go back to my life. Please help me

      In June of 2022 a Vivint rep sold and installed a system at our house late on an evening, then said they would be back the next day to show us how the system worked and would properly set it up. That never happened and the Vivint people never returned. We payed for several months of service trying to figure it out then cancelled payment on our credit card. That being said we paid for something we were never able to use and was lied to from their reps about returning to setup. Now they have turned us over to collectors and will damage our credit. We finally talked to a rep in another country and was told they could not help unless we paid $1600 for back months of services that we quit paying. We said that was not logical to pay for more money for a service that we never were able to use or trained on. When they installed the thermostat on our heat and air system they set it to run Continuously and the condensation flooded and ruined our carpet, so by them not ever showing us how to properly use the equipment we lost out on carpet. We have asked nothing from them but to let us out of the contract and remove us from collections but was told we didnt properly go through their correct cancellation procedures and we needed to pay them more money for any available options. As of January ******************************************************************** system

      A sales person came by our house when we first moved in and sold us on a subscription to their home security system, his explanation was that they would come install everything and we would use it for a monthly fee. He also expressed that if we were ever needed to cancel, there would be no problem canceling and returning the equipment and that would be the end of it. Come to find out, we are now moving and theres no possible way to use the system with no WiFi or cell service (both unavailable where we are moving) so we try to call and cancel as we were told we could do. They said we could not cancel without a pretty ***** of a fee as well as paying off a loan of which we were not aware of when signing up for the system (it was not told to us that the system was on a separate third party loan we had to find out the hard way). It has been a real headache and hassle these last couple months trying to fix the situation and get all the equipment returned as we were told that we could. After being on the phone for multiple hours and the customer service reps being rude and purposely transferring us around to dead lines and lines that transferred us again we are feeling pretty hopeless at this time. We would just like to be able to give the stuff back and be cleared of that debt and relived of the monthly payments.

      In August/September of 2022, after 2 years of service, I called Vivint to add on additional service. We had a home addition and wanted an additional camera as well as carbon/smoke detector added to the service. During my call, the sales rep stated that my equipment would be added to my existing equipment loan payment. Since I was not going to pay out of pocket at that time, i agreed to move forward with the installation. About a month after installation, i received my monthly bill which included the full equipment charge. I contacted customer service and they agreed that it shouldn't be there and that they would get it added to the equipment loan. another ***** days later, and my bill comes again with the equipment on there. I call again and receive the same information: "It shouldn't be there, and I'll take care of it". This same process continued for 4 months in a row until in January 2023, they cancelled my service for non-payment and sent me to collections! I have spoken with several customer representatives, and one supervisor, who all insist that it is still being reviewed by some other group and they are pending a response before anything changes. In the mean time, we have no service, and now have a creditor contacting us for payment!

      I was cancelling my services with this company until they agreed to upgrade my equipment for free. AFTER I PAID OFF MY EQUIPMENT, I was told they no longer serviced the equipment I bought from them and would not send a technician out to fix my equipment. I was calling to cancel my services since they want to be so terrible. They were supposed to waive the fee involved with installing the new equipment. They have a recorded phone call where I specifically asked if I would be charged anything and that my bill would not change. They lied, had the tech come out and install the equipment, THEN they charged my credit card I had on file without even asking me! The tech (*****) also said I wasn't being charged but here we are. He did not collect payment from me that day. This company literally stole money from my account without permission. I do not agree to the charges. I was told I would be receiving a refund for the money they took from my account without permission and I still have not received the refund. Every time I call, I get hung up on after being transferred to several different people. The last time I called, I was transferred to EIGHT different people before finally being hung up on for no reason. I was stolen from and I want this resolved. I'm tired of these companies taken advantage of their customers. I will not stand for it anymore.

      We have had Vivent for over 15 years. It seems as every time you call them they **** you into another 5year contract! I called back in 2021 and was told that I could cancel at ANYTIME there would be no hassle. We are now requesting to have our services ended and they are trying to get us for another 2 years. They are stating we have equipment that we do not have.

      My experience has been ******, to say the least. There is always an issue with my account. And then they expect you to be on the line for hours on end to get s*** squared away. Apparently, one of my locations is deactivated again. But if my accounts are on auto-pay how can that be? Last time I had this issue 6 months ago. I was on the phone for over 4 hours. I had to take a day off work to fix an issue that was created by Vivint. After dealing with a bunch of smart-ass victims, finally, one individual stood and guided me all the way through the process of getting it squared away. I wish I could remember her name. The reality is my experience here is been so bad and I deeply regret switching over. And I thought ADT was screwed up, Vivint wins hands down. The service is obsolete, it takes way too long to get s*** done. The app freezes constantly. I cant view my locations when I want to because it's constantly freezing through the mobile app... I can keep going on and on. But there's no point. A company rep or manager rep, will just give another ******** excuse of apology, but not fix anything at all... I want out of my contract, they have not lived up to their terms of service. I dont understand how this company is still in business with how shady their practices are! They need to cancel my contract and let me go... you can look in my account and look at all the notes. Trust there will be pages and pages worth!

      We got Vivint back four years ago, and we have had a terrible experience. Our doorbell camera does not work and it hasnt worked for a long time. Weve called multiple times even this year to have someone come out to fix it from Vivint, but they are unwilling to come out and fix it for us. All we see is a black and purple screen when ********** up, we cant see anything. Vivint wont fix it for us, or theyll want to charge us a ton of money. Our outdoor camera also will not record when there is movement out front. It only works like half the time. Weve called about this too lately but vivint wont come out to fix it. Were paying way too much money every month for an alarm that will not work, and that we cant have fixed. We still owe about $500 to cancel for monitoring and also even extra for the equipment, we just want out of the contract and we dont want to pay for this anymore. We wouldnt recommend Vivint for anyone!

      In his complaint, ****************** explains that he is dissatisfied with the equipment and requests that his account be cancelled without penalty.

      At this time, Vivint is willing to cancel Mr. ******** account without penalty.

      Previously,****************** was told he needed to send Vivint a written Notice of Cancelation and following the 30-day period, his account would be cancelled. Vivint has waived this requirement. ****************** has no further obligation to Vivint.

      We inherited the Vivint system form the previous tenant out of courtesy. I made sure that the contract I sign was for one year. They confirmed. I have the paperwork to prove it. When we moved out, months before I submitted multiple requests to cancel my account and all services. They said they got it, but never got back to me. I called and emailed several times for months to try to cancel my account. They said they got my request, but they never got back to me. I have the receipts to prove it.
      Despite my multiple attempts to cancel the services and delete my account, they continue to bill me and are sending debt collectors after me now. Please stop billing me for a services that I do not use and have tried to cancel multiple times.

      Better Business Bureau:





      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Vivint has confirmed that my account is now cancelled and I do not have to take any further action.

       

      The debt collecting agency, however, is still reaching out to me. I understand that Vivint has stated that they have notified the debt collecting agency already, and any further issues should be directed towards the debt collecting company itself.





      Sincerely,



      ******* **
