      We had someone come by from Vivint and knock on our door on Wednesday, July 13th. His name was Khalil M*****. He told us all about his product and asked us to try out a 3 day trial. Our door bell camera went out and we called Khalil and he got a technician out on Monday, July 16th to fix the issue and told my husband over the phone since we had an issue during our trial period, he would extend our trial our another week! On Monday, July 25th (a week later), we decided to stay with our current company which is ***. We call Vivint to tell them we wanted to cancel the trial period. They tell us we are outside of our 3 day trial window. We were told over the phone when the doorbell camera went out that it was a week extension, not 3 day!!! My husband called Khalil, our rep with Vivint, and cannot get him to answer or respond to any text to discuss this. My husband then calls Vivint and speaks to many supervisors and none offer any help. Khalil M***** with Vivint, completely lied to us, scammed us, took our money, and now Vivint will not let us out of a contract with them. Something needs to be done about this now!!!

        Complainant: ****** ********
      Vivint Account #: *******
      Date of Agreement: July 13, 2022

      To Whom It May Concern:

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

      A representative from Vivint has recently contacted Ms. ******** via email in an effort to resolve her concerns. In her complaint, Ms. ******** is requesting the three-business-day trial period be honored and would like her equipment removed and her account cancelled at no penalty towards her. 

      Vivint’s records indicate that Ms. ******** signed a Purchase and Services Agreement (“Agreement”) on July 13, 2022, with an initial term of sixty (60) months. Section 4.5 of this Agreement states: “You may cancel this Agreement by delivering or mailing a notice to the seller. The notice must say that you are cancelling the Agreement and must be delivered or mailed before midnight of the third business day after you sign this Agreement.” Vivint’s records do not indicate any official written notice of cancellation being delivered for Ms. ********’s account. 

      Despite the above, as a courtesy, Vivint has offered to cancel Ms. ********’s account and Citizens One loan at no penalty towards her, pending the retrieval of the Vivint equipment. The legal representative is awaiting Ms. ********’s response to schedule this appointment before proceeding with the cancellation. 

      Should Ms. ******** have any further questions or concerns, she should contact the representative directly. 

      If you have further questions or concerns regarding this response, please respond to either our mailing address: **** ***** *** ****, Provo, Utah 84604, or fax number: ###-###-####, attention Department 160 – Legal.

      I signed up for vivint home security and was lied to. The sales rep did not mention a contract and when the tech came to install it he swiped to the bottom of the contract and only said i need you to sign this so i can have your permission to install the service. They also did not tell me the amount financed was $4,000. I have tried to cancel but they refuse and wont resolve any issues

      My ******** purchased a vivint system outright from a sales associate over the phone. While speaking to him he said we would have a 2 month trial and 6 months of monitoring for free. We requested to add a doorbell camera and he said when the technician shows up you can ask him for those extras. He also informed us that vivint includes 24/7 monitoring. Which we later found out that's ONLY if you purchase the *** system. When the day came for the technician to show up he never did. We called vivint and they told us his car broke down. We re-scheduled for the next day and told the technician we wanted the GEN 2 cameras. The technician told us he did not have those available so we called Vivint to request a technician that had those cameras and they completed cancelled our setup and didn't tell us. So when it came time for installation the next morning the technician said he noticed we cancelled and he had the gen 2 cameras now magically available. We called vivint again and they set him up to come that afternoon. When he showed up he was in an extreme rush. He didn't show us how to use parts of the system.. our back camera was installed with the cord hanging out (safety hazard) and didn't allow us to purchase other equipment because he needed to leave. He told us to call in **************************************************** trouble otherwise. He informed us that we needed to purchase a *** system in order for the cameras to continuously record, he said it would be $250 to order from him but he didn't have time that day to do it. We called customer service and the initial guy we spoke to said if we sign up for a term then it's $$ off. We lost connection and when we called back they said the *** system is $350 instead. The entire process has been a nightmare. So we called BACK AGAIN and that representative reached out to the install tech and he verified he told us it was $250. They sold it to us and it was never shipped. I called today and they denied the price.

      Deceptive practice by salesman. On July 5,2022 spoke with salesperson about an error on my contract. There was a misunderstanding about an extra camera not being on my contract. I told him i wanted to go ahead and cancel the contract as i was within my 3 day window. He then proceeded to ask what he could do to keep my service and i expressed to him that i wanted the extra camera. He agreed and said "there will be no charge to you". Spoke again on July 7th about the camera situation and he assured me that the following Thursday someone will be contacting me. On July 14 reached out and AGAIN told him no one contacted me and he was going to call me the next day to let me know what happened. as of July 26 no contact from salesman and still no camera. I have all the text messages associated with this complaint.

      This business charged us for equipment we already had and recorded my husband without permission. I explained to the rep that you were suppose to discuss with me before anything was signed and he assured we were not being charged for any equipment prior to service. My fianc is dyslexia and was told to sign per request not to advise payment. It has only been an 3 weeks and we have received a credit **** we was unaware of and ran credit for that was not agreed to. They requested information to verify identity. I am seeking legal aid but this is not right. Im requesting removal of services and credit. He was lied to and deceived of services. Plus recording was done without consent. The consultant clicked everything and didnt allow us to read anything that stated credit check or anything as far as locking into contract. After reaching out other people has been done the same way and didnt think they had a chance of fighting due to the wiretapping. Which is against the law because it was done in our home without consent or knowledge. This is the beginning measures that I will be taking.

      I received a door to door salesman from vivinit in late May he was very pushy I made it clear I wasn't interested In a security system. The salesman for vivinit said you should at least try the system out I still refused. He then keep pushing to at least give it a try If I didn't like it I could cancel within 3 days. I said yes I will give it a try June 3 I signed up. I gave it a day and did not like the system especially for the monthy payment. I emailed my cancelation June 5. I decided to call the next day and spoke with a customer service representative for vivinit that said they never received my email. So I emailed it to them again. I have the email in my Gmail as proof if need be. The customer service representative said the cancelation went through and I should get an email in 1- 3 days. I scheduled a equipment pickup and they picked up security equipment. I never did get the email they said i would get. and have called numerous times have proof of that to if need be and each time they say it's canceled. It is now July 26 and vivint has still never canceled my account I have been charged over 140$ that should be refunded. They are still taking my money out every month and so is there financing company Fortiva. They are going to take another 85 dollars in August. If this doesn't get resolved I will get my lawyer to draft a legal document of possible further action on this matter.

      On 7-14-2022 I purchased a Vivint security system. My internet line had been cut by workers in the area, so they could not test nor install my system at the time. They were not able to partially install the system until the 19th. I then noticed all the issues and began trying to cancel on the 21st. I feel as though I was not given a fair right to cancel period; 3 days. I tried to cancel within 3 days of installation and have been getting the run around ever since. They were also short hardware, and some components were not compatible. The smart garage nor the last 3 cameras have been installed. Once I began to test the system, it was clear that I had been lied to. I did not receive a 4K UHD system. The quality is highly pixelated, and just poor. The app won't stay open; it constantly crashes. The video playback responds at random as well. I have spent hours and hours back and forth with Vivint with no success. They have tried a software update, rebooting the system and so on. I have been told several times that they can't fix it. Then, if they can't fix it they will remove and accept the return of the system. Then at one point I was told that just because the system isn't up to my standards, they can't deem in unserviceable. On their end he cameras are on and that's all that matters. Evidently the quality does not matter to them. Please help me get my money back. I just want them to come and remove their system and give me a refund. I was cheated out of a fair 3 day right to cancellation. I was also lied to and the system I was given is not the system I was sold on paper for almost $4K. Thanks, **** *****

      Installation for Vivint was scheduled on 05/13/22 for 5:30pm and did not show up until after 7:00. During this time, he misplaced the driveway camera and had drilled unnecessary holes in my interior and exterior walls. They were patched, but not very good. He had told me that the fire/CO2 sensors would be installed by another person and they would call me within the week. That never happened. A week after the installation, the front door lock would never work properly and the driveway cameral quit working all together. So, on 05/18/22, I called for them to come fix the issues. On 05/24/22, I waited all day, but the technician never showed and never called. I called them on 05/25/22 to reschedule for 05/28/22. I was told they would install the fire/CO2 sensors at that time. On 05/28/22, I was called by the technician and told they had to reschedule because "they're stacked due to the holiday." A technician did not come until 06/06/22. At this time the camera was fixed, but the front door lock still never worked right. I, myself, ended up pulling off the face plate on my door to get it to work. The technician did not install the fire/CO2 sensors and again said it would have to be installed by someone else. So, I called again on 06/08/22, and they scheduled me for 06/09/22. I waited all day and nobody showed up or called. On 06/09/22, I called to cancel the fire/CO2 sensors and requested a credit for the equipment. Was never sent verification of that credit. On 06/14/22, all my cameras were out due to a "System Outage" and never recovered. I called on 07/17/22 to troubleshoot issues, but they were not resolved, so they were sending a technician on 07/19/22. The technician never showed. Rescheduled for 07/21/22, and technician never showed again, and was rescheduled for 07/26/22. In the past 3 months, feel that Vivint has not held up to their end of services and have caused me unnecessary grief, as well as missing a lot of time at work.

      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, as of now. Vivint agreed to let me return the equipment without penalty and would refund the line of credit and it would be forgiven. I have received confirmation of the cancelled service, but have not yet received confirmation of the line of credit cancellation or verification that it will not effect my credit. I am hoping they will continue to follow through with the agreement. Thank you so much for your help with this matter. 

      Sincerely,

      I cancelled my service with Vivint almost 3 years ago. However, all of a sudden, this year I have been receiving bills from Vivint every month. I do not owe them anything. I have called them every month this year to get this corrected. They tell me they have another customer with the same name and they have corrected it, but the next month, I get another ****. I have excellent credit and I do not want this to affect it! I want this corrected and stopped asap. Can you help?
