      Answered
      I’ve been with home security for about 8 months and haven’t got any maintenance or issues resolved. I’ve reached out about cancellation but have got the run around about how I have to pay 2000$ out of pocket because I’m under contract. I am needing to resolve this issue as soon as possible because my grandmother cannot afford to pay for something she can’t get fixed as I live there to and watching her struggle with this company without any reasoning behind not being able to cancel with little to no money to afford and or resolve complaints.

      I moved out of a residence almost two (2) years ago that had former service with SafeGuard America. I notified them not once, byt numerous times , yet I keep receiving bills for the former address. I have emailed and texted my cancellation request dated back to October 31, 2022, my latest email went out on 01.02.2024, and I am still receiving a bill. This is crazy, I haven't lived in that house for almost two years why would you keep billing me, just to get money? If I had my way I would have never signed up with this company, they aren't fair at all.
