  I had service by Interface Security at my prior home (******************************************************). Account *******. I have paid ALL bills that I owed. The home was sold last fall. Despite this, Interface has sent and continues to send me and my ex (*********************) invoices saying we owe $340.96 that is seriously past due. I called and talked to interface representatives many times last year (and maybe again early this year) and was assured it was taken care of and would not happen again. Despite this we just got another invoice/statement dated 9/1/23. I am really tired of this and demand that they correct their records and cease and desist. If my credit is adversely affected I will *** them. Please see if you can get this stopped. Thank you.

  To whom it may concern,
  
  Thank you for escalating your concerns, we value our customers opinions and appreciate the chance to investigate your complaint. In March of 2021 we worked with Mr.and *************** to upgrade their security system. At that time, they entered into a new 36-month agreement. When their final invoice was calculated, it was mistakenly marked as Company Owned equipment. We have since fixed that error on our end. We do value the partnership weve had for over 20 years and have agreed to release them from the remaining months left on their agreement. We have been unsuccessful in reaching them to resolve this matter. All credits have been submitted and their account now has a zero balance. Please contact us if you have any further questions and again, thank you for being a valued Interface customer.  

   

  Thank you.

  In early January, 2023, I was hospitalized. When I got out of the hospital, I called Interface to tell them that I was moving and no longer needed their service. They have no record of the call. I moved in mid-January to the ********* due to health issues. They billed me as of January 1st, but then again in April 2023.
  
  I have an assistant who is now helping me with daily money management. In late May, as we were organizing my finances, we called Interface and had a conversation with them explaining the above and that I no longer live at that location and haven't for some time. They refused to adjust the bill. We requested a call back from someone in management, and never received a phone response.
  
  They continue to send bills. On June 22, 2023, we mailed a letter (dated June 10th) attached. Still no response, and now a bill for July has been added to the invoice.

  To
  Whom It May Concern:
  
  We are very sorry to hear of the situation surrounding **** ******* complaint
  regarding her experience in canceling her services with our company.  She
  has been a loyal customer for over 5 years, and we are very grateful for her
  patronage.  I was able to speak with Lana explaining we never received a
  formal request to cancel in January and confirmed the account has since been canceled
  with a credit applied closing the account with zero
  balance.

  Thank
  you,

  According to ******************, I am to receive a credit on my account for the months I paid and was not being monitored during those months because I was waiting for some them to upgrade my system. The upgrade was done; but, my account has yet to be credited. I would like to know when my account will be credited and for how much. Money is somewhat tight right now. I will continue to pay the monitoring charge.

  My home alarm system started having issues on November 4th, 2022. My home system would go off at intermittent times, but the alarm company would not receive any signals. My home system pad would make noise at various times during the day and at night also. The company would not have a clue and would transfer me to different departments, and it went on for a week until I asked them to trouble shoot my system. They discovered that my system was not connected to them because the **** tower that they used was no longer available to them. This company didn't notify me and left me vulnerable during the holidays while still charging me for services that were not rendered! On top of that they wanted to charge me $99.00 to come out to install a new device which would connect my system to theirs! Their technician came to my home twice! The first time he said that the device was not fit for my system and that he would re-order it right this time. The second time, the same technician had issues connecting to their technical department to set up the new device; he said he would have to come a third time! To this day I have had nothing but headaches and have no service, so I decided to close my account. Another issue is trying to close the account as the customer service representative said to me that she would send a form via email as soon as she could because she had to do that and answer the phones so it would take about 30 minutes!

  To whom it
  may concern,
  
  I spoke to
  Mrs. ********* last week expressing our sincere apologies for any inconvenience
  she experienced while trying to get her system upgraded from 3G technology to
  LTE. Mr. and Mrs. ********* have been loyal customers for over 20 years, and we
  are very grateful for their patronage. The shutdown was industry wide,
  affecting all alarm systems that use a 3G/4G communicator. We were advised the
  sunset for **** would begin in February of 2022, ******* in December 2022.
  In an attempt to be as proactive as possible in our communication, we started a
  mailing and calling campaign in late 2020. 
  
  Our
  records show our Business Development team tried to notify the *********’s by
  phone, on two separate occasions, in October of 2021 but were unable to leave a
  voicemail both times. We also attempted to notify them the week of July 18,
  2022 as well by mailing a letter to the address on fill. We did not receive a
  response to that correspondence and our first documented call into our Customer
  Experience Team regarding the upgrade was 12/6/22. Mrs. ********* contacted our
  monitoring department to advise of the trouble she was experiencing with her
  alarm system on 12/6/22. It was mentioned in the complaint that the issues
  started in November, we do not have any record of that or logged calls showing
  that we were contacted at that time.
  
  On
  12/6/22, after our tech support team did some troubleshooting remotely, it was
  determined the customer needed the LTE upgrade to regain communication with our
  alarm monitoring center. On December 6, 2022, Customer Experience Advocate,
  *****, processed the upgrade request waiving the $99.00 fee as a courtesy.
  Unfortunately, the wrong cell radio was shipped, and the technician had to
  order the correct part and install was completed 12/28/2022. We are sincerely
  sorry for the inconvenience of the wrong part being shipped and attempted to
  rectify the situation as quickly as possible.
  
  On
  12/28/22 it is documented that our monitoring department received an alarm at
  8:41 p.m. and dispatched police at 8:44 p.m. per procedure after exhausting the
  call list. Mrs. ********* called our monitoring department at 9:03 p.m.
  advising the alarm didn’t sound at the location and she wasn’t aware the alarm
  had been triggered until local PD responded. At that time, Mrs. ********* expressed her frustrations and requested to cancel. Mrs. ********* was advised
  to call back the following morning to process her cancellation request with the
  Customer Experience department. On 12/29/2022, Mrs. *********, called and spoke
  to ***** requesting to cancel. ***** attempted to help the customer with her
  complaints, but Mrs. ********* requested immediate cancellation.
  
  The
  account is currently being processed for cancel with a refund issued in the
  amount of $37.49 for December, her account now has a zero balance. We are
  saddened we are losing such a valued customer as Interface is dedicated in
  providing excellent customer service, and we strive for customer satisfaction.
  Should Mrs. ********* decide to continue her relationship with Interface, we
  will dispatch a technician to review why the alarm did not sound on site, and
  assign a direct Customer Experience Advocate to be her account advocate going
  forward.
  
  Thank you.
