      I first signed up for vivint because of a friend. For the first of year of my account being open i had not had cameras because there was no electricity where they would need to be mounted. Near the end of may I contacted vivint in regards to canceling because they could no fulfill my security needs since they do no provide any sort of battery powered/wireless cameras. The lady on the phone assured to me that their brand new cameras were completely wireless and upsold me on the pro with all the motion detecting features and HD video quality. When the installer arrived on 5/23/2022 he asked me where is the nearest outlet and i asked him why? I was told that the cameras would be completely wireless. He then apologized saying that she most likely convinced you to keep the sale. I went on and agreed to have 2 cameras put in where they would be able to reach a power source. The first 2-3 weeks was complete stress because the cameras would constantly go on and offline and with the cameras only being able to go 10ft high anyone can walk by and hit it with a short stick or easily paint over them. I tried contacting vivint to bring up my concern and was told that their 10ft high limit was for the installers safety. I then proceeded to ask if i was able to cancel my plan since they left me very dissatisfied with my complete shop security, but was told you only have 3 days to cancel/return any sort of equipment. Their lack of help after telling them all the issues i had was very disappointing coming from a fairly large company. I don't know any other company that gives a 3 day return policy especially after explaining for the first 3 weeks the cameras we basically useless. I also brought up the fact that i was directly lied to about the cameras being true wireless when in-fact they need power, but after explaining that all I could get back was sorry about that. They did say that I could hang them up higher if needed but I did not pay them just to fix it myself.

      My security system stopped working over 6 months ago. Since the equipment was not working and they could not fix the problem, I stopped paying. The equipment is finally fixed and they want me to pay for the six months the equipment was not working and I refuse. They will not turn my service back on and said they will report me to the credit agency. This company is horrible at customer service and the department do not communicate with each other. I was harassed daily from their collections department and have spend hours upon hours dealing with this disaster of a company. I feel I should not have to pay for a service that was not working. Their own technician said I should not pay for the service m. He was at my house twice during this entire process.

      Where to begin... Vivint initially setup and added more cameras and a smart drive. After adding all of this on, most of the equipment quit working. I called and they came out and fixed it once. We lost our jobs due to covid, I wanted to cancel service, instead they deferred our payments for 6 months, we were charged again and deferred again for 3 more months. All these times, I wanted to cancel and they said I couldn't. I COULDN'T??? Mind you, our equipment hasn't worked since the guy came out the 1st time, Within the first 5 months of service. I've tried again and again to get our service canceled but they REFUSE. They'd rather charge me an arm and a leg. This is not how you run a business and keep customers. I need help!! I want OUT. TO BE DONE WITH VIVINT. PLEASE!!

      Had them 4 years+. I think contract is 5 years. I want them to cancel my contract. Alarms go off for issues I cannot get out of bed for/or in a timely manner. It takes 14 to 26+ days for someone to come from out of town to check system. They don't repay for lost service. My knees are bad, I'm disabled to the point I cannot climb ladders to change batteries. Man came to fix everything and promised it worked. The next time I used it, that night five police cars were surrounding my home. I don't want this stuff. It's not fixable and scares me to death if I use it. I'm 72 years old. Just please ask them to cancel my contract. Haven't used it since. I wrote them. No response.

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

      A representative from Vivint has recently contacted ************ via email in an effort to resolve her concerns. In her complaint, ************ requests cancellation of her account at no penalty towards her due to equipment concerns. 

      Vivints records indicate that ************ signed a Purchase and Services Agreement (Agreement) on April 4, 2018, with an initial term of sixty (60) months. She also signed a Retail Installment Contract on this date agreeing to pay $1,303.13 over the course of that sixty months of services for her equipment. These contracts will not be fulfilled until April 4, 2023. Early cancellation of these Agreements would result in the need to buyout the remaining balance due. 

      Despite the above, as a courtesy, Vivint has agreed to cancel Ms. ***** contract and waive the remaining balance of the equipment loan at no penalty towards her. Once finalized, documentation will be emails to ************ for her records. At this time, ************ has no further obligation to Vivint. 


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

      On 6/27/22 I signed up with Vivint smart home security system. 6/27-6/28 it was installed. During the installation they ripped down and cut my current cameras and security system( I did not ask for this). I requested to cancel within the 3 day grace ****** due to their product malfunctioning and not working as described. They instead sent a tech out to try and fix the problem. The tech could not fix the problem. Vivint then offered me multiple discounts to keep my business. I stated I will not pay for a product that does not work. I also requested they reinstall my old system. They stated they will not install my old system. They also stated that in order to cancel they need their equipment back. They have scheduled me 2 appointments to remove their equipment and not shown up for either. They claim the tech that installed their system must remove it but the tech only works on Tuesdays and Thursdays, yet the tech was at my house Monday and Wednesday the first week. Not only did I lose money taking days off from work for a tech not to show up but I will also lose money having to get my old system installed and my house repaired from the holes they left in my walls.. It is now 7/6/22 and they have still not removed the equipment or cancelled my services. I am now on my 3rd reschedule. Im afraid they will keep delaying my cancelation and I will lose more money and they will begin to **** me for the equipment. I want to be reimbursed for the installation of my old system. Vivint has already cost me over $500 for missing work for their no show appointments.

      I was visited by Vivint salesman and sold a security system. I want to complain about the sales method and the product itself. The salesmen came at 7:00 in the evening on a hot day. One of them asked for a drink of water. I now see this as a way to get in the house. They talked me into purchasing the system. It was a 'special' deal. I signed the paperwork and they called technicians in that night. I now see this as a way to give me less time to change my mind. In addition, I think I was pinpointed because of my age, 68. I think they target older people with a hard sell knowing they are more likely to succumb.The system stopped working properly near the 30-day **** which was the end of the 30 day trial. The control panel and app cannot lock the front door. When the door is locked manually, the system doesn't recognize it as locked and cannot be armed as a result. I waited a few days to call and the 30 days was up. The system is just overkill and I don't need it.

      Shortly after we moved into the house, a Vivint representative came by the house. We recognized the logo and examples shown as what was already in place in our home from the previous owners. He came in to talk about it and stated specifically that because we already had the system, that all we had to pay for was the vivint system to be online. at $55 a month until after 5 years it would be $30. We thought that was okay, so we said yes. They said the system already being in place saved us lots of money. He never said a word about a soft or hard credit check. In fact when he handed us the iPad for us to click through a presentation he was talking to us while it went stating it said nothing different and he just needed us to sign to state he was doing his job. He also said we could cancel whenever if we didnt like it. Then after about a month we noticed the credit went down and now had emails of late payments we didnt know existed on a credit line for Vivint. When we called customer service they said the only thing they could do was give us a one time discount on our monthly fee to them of $15. We stated that didnt do much at all considering we didnt know there was a credit check, let alone taking out a line of credit. They stated it was a line of credit for the equipment AND a takeover lease. None of which was explained to us. When calling customer service again they state that the video presentation we watched talked about it, and neither of us can remember that, and again the guy had been talking over it to us the whole time. We dont feel this company represents itself accurately and it does nothing to service the customers and lies. They misrepresented the ability to cancel whenever, without penalty, they failed to disclose anything in regard to credit CLEARLY before the transaction was made, and misrepresented the cost of the security equipment as required by the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act 15 U.S.C Section ****. We want to cancel and be refunded.

      My inquiry for a security system was for cameras. Technician came out and said it would be $200 to run the camera cables thru the attic, which he said to pay him directly. I was not comfortable giving him money, as he continued to say they do not pay him enough to go into the attic. I called within the grace ****** to cancel, as I did not get what I wanted, and they promised me a new tech would come out and install my cameras via the attic. I was told they would put a rush on my install. I waited a few days, called, and they said they could schedule me a date weeks out, or I could wait until someone calls me to schedule sooner. No one contacted me, I called to cancel my service, they are telling me I have to pay for the equipment, equipment that I did not want, and that I was past my 3 day grace ******, yet I called within the grace ****** and they promised me resolution if I were not to cancel. I trusted them. They have all the documentation of my calls. I was contacted almost daily before the installation, and trying to get a hold of them after the "install" has been very difficult. I do not trust this company to monitor my family safety after the shady technician who knows my password, and met my dog, talked to me about politics, talked about how much money he doesn't make, ect. I want out of my contract and I do not want to pay for the equipment, they can come get the equipment.

      A rep of Vivint security named Zach soliciting new customers knocked on my door on 06/20/22. I told him that I was currently in a contract with Alder security. He then told me that I could try out the system for 30 days instead the standard 3 days due to my hesitation to switch. I called on 06/30/22 to cancel the trial period and Marcello told me that it was too late to cancel since the 3 day window had passed. I informed him that their representative Zach promised me 30 day trial period. He said that Zach would have to confirm the 30 day verbal trial period before they could or would cancel my account. I called back and spoke with another Rep **** and he said the same exact thing. He tried calling and emailing Zach but got no response back from him either. I waited a few more days and called back on 07/05/22 and spoke with **** and explained the whole situation to her and she said the same thing as the other 2 reps. *** tried calling, emailing and texting Zach but he didn't respond to her attempts either. I am trying to understand how a company can send out representatives to individuals homes and not hold them accountable for the misrepresentation on policy and procedures. Basically it is my word against his and they won't cancel my contract until they speak with Zach and confirm the 30 days trial period is true. If he denies it or they can't get in contact with him, I am stuck in a ******************************************** because they are scamming people and that is not right.
