I am done with them stealing my money and not following through with what their customer service reps told me they were going to do.On 06/02/22 I spoke with ****** ID #****** who was supposed to credit my account $497.64 as well as cancel an account that they couldn't seem to transfer from our old address when we moved! I literally have been paying for service at another address while the equipment was hooked ** in our new home FOR OVER A YEAR NOW!!! AND STILL THEY TAKE MY MONEY MONTHLY FOR THAT ACCOUNT ALTHOUGH IT WAS CONFIRMED TO BE DISCONNECTED! I WANT A RESPONSE! I WANT MY MONEY CREDITED IMMEDIATELY AND I WANT EVERYTHING DISCONNECTED!!!!! If one more debit comes from my account, I will contact a lawyer! I am sick of this!Below is the cancellation from June. We moved in May 2021. I want all of my money back from June to the present as well as the $497.64 that was supposed to be credited! I also want my other account disconnected!

      A young lady came to my house , ***** from Vivint and offered us to switch from ADT. During her presentation she claimed would not be charged initially and we were. ($*****). First ??. Vivint has a buyout program that helps the new customer leave there current service. They typically offer up to $1k. We informed the rep ******************* was $2k. She said no problem she spoke to her supervisor and got it approved. So we moved forward. Since then only received $1k and they claim they cant locate *****. Second ?? . Also with vivint you have to get pre approved for the equipment thru Fortiva. ***** told my wife she was approved for $2k and we purchased accordingly. Two weeks later ******* charged my account $548, stating she was only approved for $1500. Final straw. They have lied throughout the whole process. ****** produced the promised buyout, refund my $548 plus the $ ***** or void the contract is signed under intentional deception.

      This complaint is against Vivint Smart Home. I have paid for there "Smart Home/Alarm" System for 4.5 years. In those 4.5 years the system was completely problematic. I have spent countless hours reboot/restarting all devices including there alarm panel to get get the product to function as advertised. I had a tech come our roughly 2 years ago trying to resolve all these issues only after having to basically threaten Vivint to get the tech onsite, only to have him leave and the same issues kept happening. Last weekend we had a break-in on our vehicles and the Vivint Camera was offline and did not record much like the 50 other times I had to restart the camera for the same reasons. I called to explain my frustrations and cancel my account as I did not receive the product nor service for the 4.5 years I paid for. I was forced to pay an early cancelation of ****** dollars on 9/26/2022. It is completely unacceptable to have a customer pay additional fees when they did not receive the service and product promised. Account was canceled 9/26/2022 *************** number S-******* If a refund is not processed I will file a complaint with the ************************ of **** as well as go door to door with of my surrounding neighbors who have Vivint with a 2 page document of the issues I have had and why the need to cancel there service and use another provider.

      I was sold the Vivint system and was told it was approximate 60 dollars. On the day of installation I was not given all that I was promised. As soon as they left it did not work(7-31-22). On 8/1 I requested cancellation and filled out paperwork. I had to call and complain to get them to remove which was done on 8/9 an I still have the holes to prove it. Since them I have called repeatedly and keep getting collections calls. They have not credited fortiva and I risk it going on my credit. I made a call today and was told they had no record even though on my previous calls I was told they had it and i was being credited. I dont trust that after almost 2 months it will be credited and it will affect my credit. This has been a nightmare and I just wish I never signed up. I want cancellation back to original request and any negative issues corrected.

      I have a Vivint system in the house that I just sold. An elderly lady bought my house. I have tried to cancel the monitoring. The request went in 09/22/2022 and they have not shut it down. the new owner is frightened be cause he has no control over the system when an alarm sounds. Very poor business.I was not told or made aware that I was in a five year contract. So my bad that's on me. I paid off the equipment and bought out the contract. And again spending hours on the phone trying to cancel the monitoring.....worst experience I have ever had with an alarm company. This number 8

      Vivint upgraded equipment without informing of cost. In July 2022, we came to an agreement with Vivint to settle the disputed amount. We paid $435.04 and agreed to $45.95 monthly fee. The company stated they received the payment on July 25, 2022. On August 15, 2022, we received a bill for $200.73. I remitted payment of $45.95 plus documentation dating back several months. September 26, 2022 we received a bill for $356.51. We have spent countless hours on the phone trying to resolve the billing issue with Vivint. A representative assures us the issue is solved yet we continue to receive bills for the wrong amount. We would like to file a complaint. We have had conversations with at least 10 employees from this company.This company has ignored the agreement that was made on July 13, 2022.

      I signed up with Vivint in 2019. I called to cancel on 9/26/2022 and am being told I am locked in a 5 year contract for the service. I was not informed of this and am currently unable to view the document I supposedly signed.I have already paid off the equipment, and such should no longer have to pay a fee to cancel the service.I have attempted to settle the issue with Vivint to cancel, but they are not willing to waive the fee to cancel.

      We had a security system installed on September 20th, when the installer left it was apparently supposed to be working, however later that day we were getting error messages on the panel and the motion detectors were not working. We have spent multiple days and hours on the phone with their tech support and customer loyalty and the system is still not working and we paid in full for the system. They are now telling us they cannot get a technician out to fix the system until Nov. 2nd, which is totally unacceptable. My sales rep is not returning my emails and we are told this is all they can do.We need a technician out immediately to resolve this. They have take our money and we do not have a working system.We need assistance with this resolution.*****************************

      Complaint: 18130245

      I am rejecting this response because: Vivint has moved the original appointment for servicing on Nov. 2nd up by one week to Oct. 25th without notifying me of the change or reaching out to even see if this new date works with my schedule, they also did not inform me of what time the technician is supposed to arrive at the residence on Oct. 25th.  However, one week sooner is helpful and appreciated the date is not ideal and we are still without security protection and monitoring at the residence for over 3 more weeks for a service we have already paid in full for and would request a sooner appointment and ask that I be contacted directly to coordinate a day and time that works with my schedule as I am working full-time and need to make arrangements to be at the residence.  Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

      Sincerely,

      Around June 2021, we were referred to this company and decided to have our alarm system installed. During the past year and beyond. Something has always been wrong with the service. During the first 90 days, I had to call several times because the cameras they installed were not working. They eventually told me to get on a ladder and reset them all (just had an accident that hurt my back so that was out of the question). I went back and forward about them send a tech out. We had exhausted ALL the tech support over the phone nothing was working. They informed me they would but at a cost to ME. I said no, to come pick the equipment up. They refused and eventually sent someone and informed me that this was the first and last time. The panels in the house go off without in movement at all, Called them about that, they said to replace the batteries (system less than 60 days old at this point) did that. Still did not solve the issue. Then it stop and keeps occurring OFTEN. The cameras are a hit or miss. Sometime they catch someone or a car driving up and MOST of the time they dont. The parameter has been reset several times. The cameras stop working during the night (what is the use if we are sleeping and something happens we have NOTHING). They also "financed" the equipment unknowing to me. RUSHED me into signing a contract at 1am in the morning. The equipment is over 3k and I can never get thru to this "finance" company that does not seem to exist. They informed me if we would have paid cash it would have been about $500 (we have great credit and would have just paid for it outright) but was NEVER informed of this. I have been given the wrong numbers, and the bank Citizens said they knew NOTHING about Vivint or any financing. This is a pass-threw and legal action need to be taken. Now we are experiencing MORE issues and still the same run around. I have contact a lawyer and joint the forum to file a lawsuit against them.

      Complaint: 18129578

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I never signed the contract my husband did in a rush We have had the same ongoing back and forward issue. 
      The cameras still aren't pick up. People walk up or drive up with no notification. We are not getting on a ladder to reset them again. The window detector goes off randomly which is nerve wrecking. 
      Today workers came and the doorbell neither driveway camera pick them up. 
      This system as useless for the amount of money being paid. 
      Wr tried to cancel it last year and were told we couldn't until your techs had come out several times which you all charge US for. The salesperson never went into detail about any of this. Just sign at 3am in the morning. 


      Doorbell camera had to be reset or reinstalled and was put last year for over a week. 


      You all had my husband RUSH and sign a contract (he is mentally challenged/9th grade education) and completed a credit application to finance 3k worth of equipment. Which he had no clue you all did. Then when I asked your representative said were could have paid for it for under $600. But with financing which he DIDN'T need its over 3k Which works when its wants to. 


      I have forward all the screenshots from your "chat" agents. Who hung up on me several times last year. Many were rude. And I went back and forward with them about the tech charge until they reluctantly said they'd waive it. 
      I have also reached out to others regarding your company's shady practices. 
      Unlike my husband, I'm very educated add will ensure no one or company tries to do something that is unethical. 
      I will be contacting our lawyer if this is not resolved. 
      Citizen bank knew NOTHING about a loan and emailed me as well. I have exhaust the "contacts" for them and not one knows anything about a loan. 

       

      I need then direct contract information to the finance company with all documents.
      The entire contract and all authorization forms.
      You addressed nothing regarding the pass through bank Citizen. The company's fraudulent and deception practices. And your faulty equipment. 


      I'm sure this is a pass-thru but we'll get to threw bottom of this issue. 
      Sincerely,
