    I canceled my account in July of 2022 due to the fact my system is 3G and will not work anymore. My contract has been up and they wouldn't upgrade my system so I chose to cancel. Since then I have been reported as delinquent on my credit report and now received a bill for service covering 11/18/22- 02/17/23 and additional late fees. This is out of control and no matter how many people I speak with there this has not been resolved.

    I am done with this and this is harassment.

    Tell us why here...In Response to BBB ID ******** for ******** *******

    I have been in review of complaint ID ******** for ******** *******. Upon review of the account we do not show that Safe Home Security has received a cancellation letter that is required to cancel the account. We at Safe Home Security understand the importance of having a fully operational system and are offering to send a technician to upgrade Ms. *******'s alarm system at no increase to her monthly rate, while keeping her price protected at $39.99, plus applicable taxes, for a minimum term of 36 months. We look forward to working with Ms. ******* to have her system upgraded. 

    Please call Monte D****** at ###-###-#### to schedule the appointment.

    This happened on 11/21/2022. I called the customer service number to check and make sure the letter that i sent on 11/3/2022 to **** ****** ****** ********** ** ***** to not renew my contract had been received. The agent said that they had no such letter and asked if i sent it via email, i told him that no one had given me an email to send this information to. I asked him if he is sure that they never received it and he said he would check then comes back and says that he is not in that department so he doesnt know. I then asked him if he could give me the email and if i would still be able to not renew since january 17 is supposed to be the last day of my 3 year contract. He told me he doesnt think so since they need 60 days notice. He gave me the email [email protected] which dosent work. I have told them a couple time when they have contacted me that i will not be renewing. I do not consent for them to renew my contract. My customer id is ******.

    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. They have added my letter to the account and ms. D***** stated that my account will not be renewed.



    Sincerely,

    October 7, 2022 I phoned Safe Home Security to report a problem with the sensors for my security system. I was told that we needed a new panel state I’d the arts in which we not have to buy another. We paid at that moment $350.00 for the panel. We were told at the time, someone would come between 9:00am and 1:00pm the next day to install the panel and do a thorough check of the system. No one showed up. When we call to see what happen, we were told that we would be called to set a dat and time for installation and a check of the system. As of date (10/23/22), we have not heard from them nor do we have any security service and have not had any since the last major storm.
