      I cancelled Vivint service in July 2022 since then they have continued to charge me every month for a service I do not receive (today is December 2022). In addition, I continue to pay for the equipment that I sent back to them already. They assured me on multiple occasions that this would be addressed, but it still hasn't and i continue to get charged.

      The company continues to delay my cancellation request ( I sold my home and the unit) and takes money out of my account without authorization. They continue to promise a refund for all transactions placed after Aug 2022 but they continue to ignore me and delay my refund and cancellation while fraudulently charging me for services not received. Do not use Vivnt they are dishonest and unorganized. It is unfortunate because their system is nice but it cant be used with other alarm companies. Just avoid this company at all costs they will take your money without cause.

      I have a security system with Vivint. Over a year ago the equipment stopped working. They had three different technicians out to the house. The third technician removed equipment from my home and stated new equipment that functioned would arrive to replace it. The replacement equipment never arrived. I have had to continue to pay vivint a monthly fee. I am finally on the end of my contract period and can cancel service. They are now trying to tell me I owe an additional $89.26 yet cannot tell me why. I find it ridiculous that I have had to pay them $90 a month but they could remove equipment from my home and I have not been able to use the system properly. We called and complained and were told we should get a credit on our account since we didnt have the equipment. I would really like to receive a partial refund since I have been paying them and not getting the service.

      I was offered equipment free and told i would have to pay the first two months in advance to set up. I receive the equipment at my new address even though i told the rep I hadn't move in yet and he assured the equipment would be mailed to my current address. i moved in and then opened the box the lock and two sensors were missing. I called vivint to schedule my install and informed them that items were missing. i was told my account was a DIY account and there would be a charge for install no problem i agreed to pay. i was transferred to another **** to schedule and after being on hold for abut 45 mins the call disconnected. I proceeded to call again I wad told my account had been escalated and someone would contact me no one did I called vivint the following morning and the same thing happed three times I kept getting transferred to different departments and then disconnected no one could help. i finally got in touch with some one who said my account was DIY and I had to close it and open a new one. so he sent me the information and I processed the close. I called back the following day and was told there is no such ting as a DIY account I hadn't qualified based on a credit check for the financing of the equipment and had to pay for my equipment up front. This was news to me! He said it wouldn't make sense for me to close my account and he would reverse the cancellation and sent me the link for DIY install. I did the install myself after a month of going *************** my services were finally installed on 12/3. I was glad He told me he would mail me the lock and the sensors I was missing. the lock arrived 12/7 I called vivint to add the lock to my account and set up. In the middle of the install I received a notification that my services was disconnected. she tried to fix it and then told me the **** that could help me was closed. she told me she sent a email and I would have to call back. I did and now I'm back to being transferred and hung up on. Horrible!

She states when she was attempting to connect her new lock to the system, she got a message stating her account was disconnected. ****************** desires to have the job finished, her account to be reinstated, and to be compensated for the month without service.

      We recently moved and transferred our Vivint service. We have had several issues with the company and their equipment. We tried to cancel our service, but we were informed that we could not cancel since we financed our original purchase. I would have NEVER financed the system had I know we were locked into a service agreement. I think it is ridiculous that a company can force consumers into a "monitoring agreement" because the system was financed. Vivint should have phone records of my original conversation where I clearly stated that I had no desire to finance the original system and we would be paying for the complete system outright. However, I was convinced by the salesperson to finance the system since there were no fees or interest associated with the finance. We reluctantly agreed to finance the system since there were supposedly no repercussions in doing so. Since we financed the original purchase, we agreed to move our current service to ******** (originally from *****) and finance some added sensors and cameras. When the technician was done, he asked for my signature on a blank phone screen. I asked what I was signing, and he told me I was confirming that the sensors and cameras were installed by him. I agreed and signed because the work had been completed. Later I found out that all of our installed equipment was charged in full to my credit card for all of the completed work. (There were 3 bills total for the transfer) We were caught off guard by the charges, so we contacted their customer service. When we tried to cancel our service the first time, due to their mistake, we were assured by the loyalty retention department that they could get the system financed as originally agreed (which would have been a long-term finance plan.) We later found out that they could not honor the agreement and would only finance for 5 months. We again tried to cancel and were informed that we were locked into a contract and had no option to cancel

      I contacted Vivint on 12/07/22 to attempt to purchase a door bell camera with installation I wanted the Black Friday price the representative from the loyalty department stated he wouldnt be able to honor the Black Friday price, however he could take $100 off the retail price if $249 & waive the $100 installation fee. The representative noticed that I didnt not have a credit card on file (I have significant credits from referring multiple customers to purchase a vivint system. As a result I needed to be transferred to the billing department I was able to add a credit card to my account to purchase the door bell camera (I didnt want to use my credit for the purchase), after getting transferred multiple times and spending over an hour on the phone, ***** from the loyalty department stated he saw in the notes that I was offered the door bell camera for $149 but he didnt see in the notes that the $100 installation fee would be waived. ***** stated he would request a separate department to listen to the recording to see if I was telling the truth he also sent a message to the rep who made the promise. ***** also refused to allow me to speak to his supervisor *****. I was appalled to be accused as being a liar. I mentioned to ************ would cancel my service after filling a complaint first. He tried to offer me 1 month free however I have a credit and already do not pay a monthly bill, this was a failed attempt to get me to pay for the installation. I enjoy Vivints monitoring and attention to detail when it comes to trouble shooting equipment, however their customer service continues to be horrible. All I wanted to do is add equipment to my account and Vivint failed to get that correct. Im very disappointed.

      Complaint: 18541412

      I am rejecting this response because: Vivint has done nothing to compensate me for the difficulties they put me through a credit to my account would have be sufficient, instead I had to wait for multiple days to get the item that I initially requested but was accused of not being honest about what was offered. Vivint pulled the phone recording and realized I in fact was correct in what I was saying.

      Sincerely,

      I have spoken to Vivint over 10 times and now my wife has talked to them about 5 times. They keep telling us they understand our situation and they will fix the issue and make sure our old account is completely closed out. Vivint keeps leaving our account open even though its paid off since -November 2021. I am in the military and my wife is a teacher. We dont have time to constantly be calling and being on hold with this company and they keep telling us they understand and it will get resolved, we are on week 3 and still nothing has been done. Its been over a year I been paying on an old account that was already paid off since last year in November. I am honestly fed up with this company and about to legal involved because we keep getting lied to and money taken out of our account for an account that is closed out. *** talked to ****************** several times about this and admits they shouldve closed out the account but will not do anything to help me. This is ridiculous and poor customer service. If you know your department didnt follow through with what they were supposed to do, why would the customer have to pay the price for their mess up?

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

      In his complaint, **************** explains that he has been attempting to cancel his previous account since November 2021, however, it has remained active. ****************** current account is also in collections.

      At this time, Vivint is willing to cancel ****************** previous account and backdate the cancellation to November of 2021. Additionally, due to the confusion regarding the double charges, Vivint has removed his current account from collections.Mr. Angells current account will soon be reinstated.

      A representative from Vivint has contacted **************** via email in case he has any questions or concerns.

      I called Vivint the morning of November 15, 2022 to cancel my services with the company, only to be harassed by the company. The service rep that I spoke with that morning gave me the impression that the company would make it hard on me to cancel my services. I had to answer questions by the rep rejecting each offer that he asked me. Finally, he sends an email to me with a return email for me to cancel my services with the company. I send the documentation that was asked of me, and I never received a confirmation email. I contact the company on 12/7/22 and the rep tells me that she never received any type of email. I told her to put her supervisor on the phone and she did. He proceeds to tell me that the email that I sent goes to another department and that my information has not been logged into the system for him to view. Therefore, he sends me his company email and asked me to forward my previous cancellation email that I sent on 11/15/22 to him. He then tells me that he did receive the email and that my services should be canceled by the end of this week. This company is full of deceit and I am not please with the company.
