      Complete bait and switch. Came to turn on my system that was already installed on the house, started upcharging me the minute they got here. Then tried to tell me I either had to spend 600 dollars on a new panel or commit to a 5 year contract. This after spending hours installing equipment, equipment I might add that I did not want. I'm shocked this company is allowed to do business this way. Absolutely terrible! Do not use!

      My mother is 90 years old and a security system was installed by one of your salesman *** on 6/10/2025. I am here POA and have been calling your company speaking to supervisor after supervisor and no one has been able to help me because on a verbal code on the account that apparently was mailed out twice and near was received no seems to think the severity of the account cameras were placed in her bedroom and all over her home. She never gave no one authority to have these placed and she is the owner to her home. I called and someone had given all her personal information on the account. I have spent hours and hours on the phone. This is company is the worst company with no professional etiquette nor concerns of the severity of the fraudulent and invasion of privacy. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

      I paid for a Protection plan for over 3 years that was explained to me that if an issue could not be resolved a technician would come out to my home and fix it and I would not have to pay the $99 fee well recently I started having an issue with my equipment that could not be resolved by speaking with someone over the phone, so I requested for a technician to come out and they said I had to pay $99 I said no I paid for the protection plan and they said no thats only for free shipping of equipment, I had it escalated to escalation and they still said no, I honestly dont believe they have any techs and sold me a fraudulent product just to make a sale, I will be canceling my account with **********************.

      The harassment from the door to door salespeople is ridiculous. If I didnt answer the door 30 minutes ago do not come knocking again. Constantly almost every day of the week I have a salesperson from this company solicit business on my property when I have made it clear I am not interested. Extremely frustrating

      Horrifically long wait times for techs, just for them to cancel on you. Zero compensations. Leave you hanging with no protection or response with their monitoring system. No one even calls you if alarms get tripped. What the h*** are they monitoring for? Techs cancel on the day of their appointment. Whole business model is just to grab money.

      ***** ***** with Vivint came to our house and asked to come in as we were getting our young children to bed. He asked to come back and my husband agreed, giving him a time to come back after the kids were in bed. He returns around 830 PM and unfortunately the children were still up so my husband spoke with him alone. ***** won't give pricing or any further information and tells my husband he will have to return when I am available to be part of the conversation. He was riding a segway/****** board thing and tells my husband it died and asked if he could leave it here since he will be back tomorrow to talk to both of us. My husband agreed and brought it into the house (it was heavy and he didn't feel like carrying it to the backyard). Fast forward a couple of hours and I hear the latch on our gate to the backyard. I jump up and open our backdoor and here comes ***** walking up to our back door. He says, "oh sorry I didn't want to wake you, I was just coming back for my segway". I turn to my husband who was now by the front door and setting the segway on the porch. ***** looked caught off guard and confused when I told him my husband was setting in on our porch. Needless to say, I have two babies and the entire thing had my spidey senses going off the chain. The fact that he returned the same night when he said he'd be back tomorrow and then proceeded to let himself unto our property was not okay. I called the police and the dispatcher told me that someone else down the road had reported the same incident. My husband thinks I'm overreacting but I say, not today satin. Not today. 10000/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

      I paid my equipment off in full and need to cancel because I can no longer use the equipment in my new apartment and they are charging erroneous amounts of money in the thousands of dollars that i do not have. NEVER USE VIVINT.

      This is the worst experience with a security company. The salesman who came by our home assumed my husband and I were 65 years old. Told us we had 30 days to try out the system. Within a week and a half we called to cancel the service. I called and the lady said they would have to get in touch with that salesman. We all tried getting a hold of him. Come to find out he was out of *******. He never returned any calls or text. They still want us to pay for the system and service. We haven't used it since Sept. of 2024. Still call everyday about the bill. Not getting a ***** from us. Took the system down a long time ago ourselves. But can't get anyone to pick it up. Never trust this company or their sales *****

      DO NOT TRUST VIVINT MISLEADING SALES TACTICS & HIDDEN FEES I regret ever signing up with Vivint. I was told by a sales representative that I would be paying $2,300 for the equipmentonly to be hit with a charge of $3,800 after everything was installed. The salesperson verbally promised one thing, but the reality was completely different.They had me sign the agreement quickly on a phone after the installation, giving me no real opportunity to review or understand the contract. I trusted what I was told and didnt realize I was locking myself into a five-year contract with hidden obligations.What they dont tell you upfront is that even if you pay off your equipment and want to cancel the service, youre still required to pay 2.5 years worth of monthly service fees just to terminate early. Thats thousands of dollars even if you no longer use or want their services.This company is extremely deceptive. They dont explain fees clearly, they pressure you into signing without transparency, and their cancellation policy is a trap. I would never recommend Vivint to anyone. It feels like a scam, and I hope this review saves someone else from making the same mistake.

      I have subscribed to Vivint since 2019, but the equipment started messing up. They wanted to charge me more money for newer equipment, stating that the monthly fee was just for emergency services . When I went to cancel the emergency service, they said my equipment would not be useable as a subscription is required for it to work. I went to cancel the service and was told I would have to pay an additional month to give them time to contact the police, fire department, etc., and cancel with them. Another month passed your current billing month.
