      *************. I am a no knock residence and the soliciting salesman knocks on my door. When I open the door, he says he saw the sign and doesnt want to be weird but still wanted to try and sell me the product because my neighbors have it. What a joke and a disgrace.

      This company uses your credit card without authorization. I also tried to cancel my account on many times for them to keep billing me despite not having service at my new home for months. I paid my last bill in May and got a bill in July once I called to see why. They said it was not all the way completed and I have to pay more money. I dont even live at the old address anymore. This company is a scam I am still waiting for them to cancel my service.

      I am filing a formal complaint against Vivint Smart Home due to misleading sales practices, lack of disclosure, and unreasonable billing.I recently had Vivint security equipment installed at my home. From the very beginning, I was misled about the total cost and terms of service. I was quoted a much lower price during the sales process than what I was later billed. I was issued a copy of my contract but the cancellation disclosure page that was modified from 3 to 30 days for cancellation is not signed when it was clearly signed the day of the contract. Additionally, I also ended up having damages to my homes gutter that puts my house at risk for water damage. I reached out to Vivint to resolve these issues and request cancellation, only to be told I must pay the full $4000 for a system Ive only had for less than 30 days. I believe this is an unfair and unethical practice. I was not properly informed about my rights, was never given a chance to review the full agreement, and now Im being charged the full contract amount despite my immediate concerns and attempts to resolve the issue.I am requesting the following resolution:Immediate cancellation of the Vivint contract without penalty.Waiver of the full equipment cost due to misleading and non-transparent sales practices.Pickup and removal of the installed equipment.I would appreciate the BBBs assistance in resolving this matter.

      I was considering using this company for security and changed my mind. I cancelled everything before they came out to install any equipment or devices. The following weeks were nothing but harassment. Phone calls several times a day even after I told them I was no longer interested. I blocked numbers and then they called from other numbers. I finally screamed at them to take me off their call list, heres hoping they wont call again.

      I had Vivint security for a few years after moving to a new neighborhood. The equipment worked for a few months and then became very laggy, sometimes notifying me many hours after a package was delivered that someone had been in my driveway. ***** didn't offer to fix my equipment but instead tried to sell me new equipment at my expense. After tolerating this for several years, I decided my neighborhood was safe enough that I didn't need to pay for a security system, so I called to cancel. They will only let you do it by phone, they are only available during regular business hours (when people like me are trying to work), and it took me 90 minutes on the phone to get them to cancel. Not 90 minutes on hold, 90 minutes of continuously talking to people who wouldn't listen to me. I was hung up on twice, spoke to 6 different people, and had to explain multiple times I wasn't interested in any offers, but all I got was sales pitches. They would not let me just cancel, I was forced to take an hour and a half out of my work day to free myself from their atrocious service.

      Very disappointing experience. The technicians lacked the necessary skills to resolve even basic issuesthey openly admitted they didnt know how to fix the problem and resorted to Googling solutions. Ultimately, they left without improving anything. The initial installation was poorly done, and we were sold equipment we didnt actually need. A supervisor had to step in when the original technician failed to complete the job, only to confirm the system was overbuilt and misconfigured. Despite all the errors on their part, the company refused to waive fees or offer any form of compensation. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

      This company does not respect or read any "No Soliciting" signs on private property. Today, they came up to my door and knocked and just said we're only providing information since our company is out in the area. To what information from a for profit company. Vivint should train their employee to understand the definition of "No Soliciting", simply put they have no understanding of that statement.

She should be CEO. But anyways finally got services canceled after trying and being transferred 10 times and holding for 5 hours. Then tech comes takes all the stuff out and my doorbell is not working and he saying he does not no how to fix it. PLEASE STAY AWAY JUST HORRIBLE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

      Terrible. They offered a "free trial." Then, the company would not allow me to cancel it. Now, customer service will not help me. Per customer service, I have to pay for the equipment despite my attempts to cancel.
