      I purchased the security system in May after speaking with an agent and advising I had a promo code for 3 months at 19.99 and free installation. The agent told me he had a better code for 4 months free monitoring and free installation. I took that offer he helped me select equipment and set up installation of it. Two months go by and the first week of August I get a unpaid balance message I call in the rep states you have a 350.00 balance I state how she states I have the equipment of 250.00 and 100.00 in monitoring charges. I state my promo about 4 months free and the agent she states they have to verify with the agent.She asks do I have any emails about it I state yes and email Vivint the emails regarding the the promo code for free monitoring she states she received them and a adjustment will be made and to only worry about the equipment charge of 250.00. September comes and I get a disconnection text for the alarm system. I immediately call in ask what is my current balance? The gentleman tells me 400.00!!! I ask how he states un paid monitoring charges I state the whole story over again. The gentleman reads the notes states he needs to talk to the loyalty dept comes back and advises me the 120.00 to monitoring will be credited due to the promo I was given to start and to not worry about any disconnect text going forward. Here we are October and my service has been disconnected completely. I call in and ask what happen and why the credits were not applied spoke to 3 different people gave the story 3 times asks for supervisors and no one would provide one and only said I would be called to have this resolved. I received no calls from anyone the only thing I was told was I would have to pay a 315.00 reinstatement fee since my service was disconnected. In no way is that right or good customer service if I am disconnected due to adjustments not being made like they said they would be. Now I am being charged 315.00 for a disconnection that was not my fault.

      To Whom It May Concern:

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

      In her complaint, Ms. ****** explains that her account was supposed to be issued a credit of 4 free months in addition to free installation. However, it amounts were never issued and her account was then sent to collections.

      Vivint’s records confirm that Ms. ****** should have received a credit of 4 months in addition to free installation. As such, Ms. ******’s account should not have been sent to collections.

      In an effort to assist Ms. ******, Vivint has agreed to reactivate Ms. ******’s account and issue the proper credits to her account. A representative has contacted Ms. ****** via email to schedule an appointment for the panel reactivation.

      I purchased a Vivant security system for over $300 which I was led to believe was for the equipment that I installed myself for a rental property. With that I have been paying for a monthly subscription that I clearly said was a short term deal because my plan was to sell the property once I had it prepared. Upon calling Vivant today because the property has been sold, I was told I entered into a 4 year contract and I still owe them over $800!! I was NOT made aware of these terms of purchase when I signed up for Vivant. I will NEVER use VIVANT again and HIGHLY recommend others to AVOID VIVANT with thier SCAM MARKETING!!! THEY SUCK!

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me, however I no longer have the window or door sensors as they were left behind in the property sold in haste.  I am happy to return all of the other equipment.

      I had cancelled my membership from Vivent home security in May 2022. I was not charge for 5 months, after checking my bank account ****** started auto drafting my account again. I called to remind them that we cancelled the membership, and they said I had started it the membership again. I have had countless problems with this company, when I cancelled the service, it was because the equiptment did not work, the app did not work and they would not send a tech to come out and correct the problem. Instead they wanted me to upgrade everything so I would be locked into a 5 year agreement. I was on a month to month agreement and when I called in I wanted to know why they raised my monthly rate from $22 to $45 dollars a month. I was fed up and wanted to cancel my service, which at that time they did. Now they are starting to auto draft again on my bank account. Can you all help me.

      On August 25, 2022, I ordered a new home security system from Vivint Security. I was told that on September 5th, a Vivint technician would be at my location to install the home security system I had ordered, but no one ever came, nor had anyone contacted me. As a result, on September 9th, I called Vivint to cancel my service in full immediately. I was told to send an email to Vivint to confirm my cancellation, so I did so right away. I did not have internet service as of September 10th up to October 4th. When my internet returned, I saw online that my service had not been cancelled. I emailed Vivint to request another cancellation on October 4th, and called them several times only to be told that they can not cancel my service because it had surpassed the trial period. They charged me $155.00 for the equipment and an additional $50.00 monthly for monitoring service. I never opened the box of equipment because the technician never came. I made it clear that I did not want the system and I wanted a refund for what I had been charged. I contacted Vivint well before the trial period ended, but they currently do not want to honor the return and cancellation. This system was never installed and never connected to the monthly service. The trial period should have started once the system was connected, but it started regardless of if it had been installed or not.

      On 8/12 I was approached by a representative from Vivint to upgrade my security system from 2G to 5G. I told him I had Northstar equipment. He said Vivint supplied equipment for Northstar, and they were doing the upgrade to 5G.Soon after, I received an email from Northstar that we had a connection problem. I called them and told them what happened. I was told my account had been poached. And that I needed to contact Vivint and ask for a buyout for the 6 months remaining on my Northstar contract: 6 months at $41.86, totaling $251.16. That way, I wouldnt be paying for service to 2 different companies for that 6 months.On 9/19, I called Vivint and requested a buyout. I was told I would receive a form via email. I didnt receive that form.On 9/22, I called Vivint and told them I didnt get the form and I was told I would be contacted by the Buyout Team within 24 hours. That didnt happen.I called again and was told I would have to make my buyout request online. I went to the *** they gave me, but when I put in my name and account number I got a message saying there was no account associated with that information. There was a phone number listed on the site to call for help.On Sat, 10/1, my daughter called that number and was told there was no account associated with my account number, address, or phone number in their system. We were given a different phone number to call, but told those offices wouldnt be open until Monday morning.On Mon, 10/3, we called that number and were told our case was being escalated to the buyout team and we would get a call from them within 24 hours. That didnt happen.On the website it says you have to make your claim for a buyout within 60 days of installation. I think this stalling is to get outside that 60 days.I was told by the man that installed the system that I should call him if I had any issues. I have tried to call him repeatedly and get his voicemail, but the mailbox is full and you cant leave a message.

      One of the worst mistakes *** ever made was contacting this company for a quote. The 1st off shore rep I spoke with said they couldnt give me a quote over the phone but that a tech could come in person and they would give me pricing at that time. On 8/16/22 the tech ****** came over and quoted me a price of almost ***** I immediately refused. ****** called their cancellation ***** and let them know I wanted to cancel the rep asked to speak with me, he 1st tried to offer me a discount I still refused he then told me I can just try the services out for 10 days and cancel if I didnt want to keep it. I called within those 10 days to cancel and was told the cancellation is only allowed within 3 days. I called customer service and asked them to pull the call they said they were unable to hear the call. This company is full of crooks they dont tell you that also open a credit account in your name for the equipment without your knowledge which is against the law. I just heard they had lawsuits against them for this same situation and they have a track record of doing this to others. Even though I was told on a recorded line that I could cancel within 10 days, they still refuse to honor that. *** called multiple times and asked for corporate and each time Im hung up on. This company should not be allowed to operate with these type of business practices. I will be contacting the office of consumer affairs in addition to the BBB.

      On May 12, 2022 I contacted Vivint via email and requested that my account be cancelled effective immediately. On May 13, 2022 I received an email from Vivint stating that my cancellation request had been summitted. On May 17, 2022 I made a follow-up telephone call to Vivint verifying that my account was closed and that I would no longer be billed. However, Vivint continued to deduct $51.47 from my checking account on May 26, June 28 and July 26 for a total of $154.41. After realizing that I had been improperly billed, I called Vivint on August 22, 2022 and was told that I was under some type of contract until August 2022. After being on the phone for over an hour with a customer service representative and speaking with someone who said they were a "supervisor" without a clear answer of resolution, I hung up frustrated. On September 7, 2022, I called to advised Vivint that I never signed a contract and was told by their representative that only the equipment had to be paid for and that was paid for i full. At this time I ask that I am refunded the amount of $154.41, which was improperly charged.

      I have had nothing but trouble with the system since I got it. I have had it for two years. They have come out and sent new cameras. The cameras still do not work. I called them today (I can&#**;t call the cameras up on the app.). I called them today to cancel; they won&#**;t cancel until I have paid for equipment that doesn&#**;t work

      I applied to have service with this company and was quoted ***** dollars for install since the equipment was already in house. They came and not only charged me ***** but also took an additional ****** out of my account. I have called them numerous times and they acknowledged their mistake but refuse to put my money back in my account saying its coming and still have not paid it back. Im calling every other day with the same excuse that my refund is coming and yet will not put it back in my account. I have been given the run around and just want my money put back that I did not authorize for them to take.

      Called Vivint on 10/2/2022 to cancel no real complaint except the equipment wasnt working they offered to send out a technician to fix the camera and I agreed. The technician came out was very nice but broke the thermostat by taking it offline and then I was not able to get ac even though my ac is not broken. I called tech support who then told me a technician would be out the next day. When I called the scheduling department I was lied to and they had not scheduled an appointment- meanwhile the house was getting up to ************************************* the house was overheating at night. I called the next day and still no technician available. They offered to pay me back for an hvac technician to come out but since nothing is wrong with the hvac only the thermostat they couldnt fix the problem unless I replaced the thermostat with a no Vivint thermostat. I want an apology from the company and I want to be able to cancel with no penalty since the technician broke the thermostat and potentially caused damage to the hvac equipment.

                Date of Agreement: July 17, 2019
               

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

      In her complaint, ******************** states that she called Vivint on October 2, 2022, to cancel the services due to equipment not working. She states that she agreed to have a technician come out to fix the issues. ******************** states that the technician broke her thermostat, causing her to have no AC.  ******************** states that she called technical support and was told that a technician would be out the next day. ******************** states that she was lied to, and the appointment was never set. She states her home was reaching up to 100 degrees. ******************** states that she was told by Vivint that they would reimburse her to have an **** technician come out to resolve the issue, she states that this would not resolve the issue as the **** is not broken. ******************** desires an apology from Vivint and cancellation without penalty. 

      A Vivint representative has attempted to contact ******************** via email in efforts to resolve this matter. Vivint has provided a technician who has resolved the issue. Vivint attempted to contact ******************** to verify the issue is in fact resolved and to see if there is anything more that is needed. 

      Vivints records indicate that ******************** signed a Purchase and Services Agreement (Agreement) on July 17, 2019. In section 5 of this agreement, it states that Vivint will repair or replace any defective part of the system. Vivint will provide service as soon as possible during normal business hours.

Records indicate that a Vivint technician has gone out and resolve the thermostat issue. 

      With the listed information above, Vivint shows that the issue has been resolved, but does offer with any other concerns regarding this matter. ******************** may contact Vivints representative directly with any further questions or concerns in this matter.
