  We cancelled service July 2023 and still see bills. Additionally we do not have business with this company as they purchased our prior security company. They have been harassing us, saying we owe an invoices from the prior company in 2020, even though we have their invoices showing a zero balance.

  Hello: 

  You mistakenly sent this  Complaint to Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. ("Securitas USA").  Please note that Securitas USA provides security guard services.  You meant to send this to Securitas Technology which is a different company,  which provides security alarm system services.  

  Please don't send correspondence for Securitas Technology to Securitas USA.  We are different companies. If you need to contact Securitas Technology, please visit their website for their contact information.

  This has been a billing issue since it took over ICU Protection. When I had ICU Protection there were no issues. So I moved July 2022 to new address about a block or two away from the previous address. ICU took down my old camera and installed the new ones a few days later. The previous homeowners had Viviant Security. The two guys who came and installed my camera system took my Viviant Security box without asking me if I needed it. The previous homeowners told me the equipment was paid in full so I didn’t need to buy equipment. Since I already had ICU Protection and was in a “contract” .. I stuck with them. I called the company and messaged the guy asking where my Viviant box was and I received no reply.
  
  Securitas has now taking over ICU Protection. I called to make payments on the account and the lady told me that I had to provide my banking information over the phone to her or send a payment in the mail. Now this is 2024 well 2022 at the time.. we all use technology so why is there not a system in place for us customers to pay our bill and view our account (paid, unpaid, equipment cost). So needless to say. I sent the payment via mail. I never received a text, call or anything stating my account was paid or balance. Seems sketchy and weird. I called in January 2023 because we had a critical alert and we were not home. Guess what? The went to the old address. The equipment was moved and installed at my new address. So they lady had me send in some paperwork to update the address. It took a three months for them to update the address. How I know? I called every other day like I didn’t have nothing else to do. Once finally updated in April 2023, I spoke to a lady and asked to a billing adjustment. She claimed that she would send a request for billing adjustments and get back with me. I haven’t heard anything still and I’ve called several times. No one answers the phone. The system panel has been black since August 2023. No one answers the phone to cancel.

  Spoke to the manager ***** today. He is going to look into for me. The was unable to locate my account. he said usually he could see the accounts that are being transferred but not mines. I was not in there system. Yet I have $1,200 past due bill. They have not sent me any past due letters, emails, or attempted to call me but yet still bills me every month. My security system has been brought three times.. first ICU Protection, Stanley Security, and now Securitas Technology. I do understand that Securitas Technology may not be all at fault. I didn’t find that out till today speaking with *****. Before I got to the manager, they provided with Stanley Security number and it was mid day.. the voice mail said call during normal business hours 8am-5pm. I can’t even reach anyone to cancel my service. Per Securitas Technology, they are unable to access any account information as the billing department hasn’t transferred to them yet from Stanley. Stantley Security NEVER answers the phone no matter the time yet I’m still being billed. I hope all this makes sense because it definitely doesn’t for me. I need my bill adjusted correctly and this system cancelled.

  In November of 2021 we had a security system installed in our home by ** ** ***** which was absorbed by Securitas. On January 18, 2024, one of our security panels went dark and thus created an issue for us in trying to disarm the system. A service technician came on January 19, 2024, and was in our house for 3.5 hours. He told us he had no idea what the problem was, but he hung around making phone calls and looking into his device. He did tell us that the installation was not done properly from two years ago. The panel where he did his checks was on the wall out in the open with easy access. He did admit he had been doing this for about one year. When we called in to make this appointment for the service tech, we asked if this was a warranty call, or if we would be charged, and how much. The agent in the office told us that the service tech would be able to tell us, but that was untrue. The service tech had no idea, and the accounting office would be able to tell us. When I told the tech that this process was wrong and deceptive, he admitted that this wasn’t the first time he had heard that. The tech said he thought the process was “sketchy”. When the gentleman left, he said he still did not know if the equipment would have another problem as he could not pinpoint an issue. He said that we might have to pay for a new $400 panel. When we checked online we saw that Securitas had issued a bill for $455 to be taken out of our bank account. We have made a few telephone calls and did speak with a person in *** ****** who said she could not do anything about our complaint but said she would email both district and regional managers to have them call us back. Over two weeks later we are still waiting for a call. This whole process is deceptive and fraudulent, and the individual who came to our house was inept, simply ran up a bill. The worst of it all is that my wife and I, senior citizens, do not feel safe in our home. We are hoping BBB can help remedy this wrongdoing.

   We am rejecting this response because: we are still waiting on Securitas to follow through with reimbursement. We have been speaking with ******* of Securitas. Today we informed her that reimbursements of $455 for service call and monitoring fees of $58.26 are yet to be received. She is checking into this and will call us with an update by Friday this week, April 12, 2024. She said we should count on 30 days for processing which will occur tomorrow, April 11, 2024. We will keep you informed about our complaint. Thank you!

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Hopefully, the monthly monitoring fee of $58.26 will also cease. I appreciate Jasmine's efforts to resolve this issue.

  I have been being billed by Securitas Technology for months. In addition to a montly fee of 11.75 they sent a bill for over 300.00.
  
  They are an alarm company who bought out ******* ******** and took over our account. When we had a fire in our home they failed to contact the fire department directly, which is what we paid them for.
  
  I have tried for months to cancel my service but no one answers the phone. The part of the company who monitors alarms did answer the phone, and multiple employees there tried to help me and said many many customers are having the same problems.
  
  I would simply like to contact someone to cancel may account and stop the billing.
  
  Thank you for your hlep.

  Ever since this company (Securitas) bought out our security contractor (*********), I have been unable to contact them regarding a non-functioning alarm system for our second home in ****. The system died at the beginning of 2023. I was only able to receive service in July after multiple attempts to contact them via phone. (Their customer service is managed in ******** , ***** ******* and no managers are ever reachable.) The service tech told us the system was not repairable. They continue to bill me and there is no response to multiple emails regarding the recurring charges.

  This is a corrupt business that works in a very corrupt practice of billing without providing services. I have not had services with them and they are now billing for months THEIR monitoring team tells me I am cancelled so they are fraudulently billing me. They now say I need to cancel which I did but bills keep arriving and customer service is useless as they say too bad you owe. I never signed up for them and nor do I want their service. Once I cancelled they said there would be someone that reaches out to me, Has not happened nor do I expect it to happen. Stop billing for services that you do not provide. Credit and eliminate all outstanding balances owed as they are fraudulent charges. ***

  We are the ******** ****** ** ******* and we use ******* Security (now Securitas Technologies) to secure our building. We pay them a monthly fee to service our badge readers at our entrances and also paid them a hefty fee to install some more readers as we are expanding our school. Getting them to come out install the new readers was like pulling teeth as it seems the company is going through a merger and the division of work seems unclear in their organization. They finally finished installing the new readers, but the last task was removing a reader and replacing it at a different location. They have had the reader removed for months now, but every attempt I have made to get an update on when it will be reinstalled has fallen on deaf ears. I have called my way up the company and reached Branch Manager **** *******, but even he is now avoiding my calls and giving me vague responses like, "Let me look into that for you," with no follow up. I am very frustrated, as are my teachers and we really would just like this badge reader reinstalled.

  This complaint deals with corrupt billing practices. I previously had Alarm Monitoring by TransAlarm. I last paid them $462.14 for coverage between May 2019 - April 2020. Prior to year end 2019, I notified TransAlarm that I was cancelling their monitoring. I totally disconnect their system by removing power, battery, and phone.
  In January 2020 I received a letter informing me that Securitas Electronic Security had acquired the assets of TransAlarm. Shortly thereafter, a Securitas monitoring agent called me. She informed me that my alarm system was offline. I told her that was correct as the system had been shut down and I did not have alarm coverage with them as I had previously cancelled with TransAlarm. She thanked me and said she would update my file.
  In April 2020, I received an Alarm Monitoring invoice from Securitas for the period of May 2020 - April 2021. I called Securitas and, again, informed them that I had cancelled with TransAlarm and had disconnected their system. As the system was no longer in service, there was nothing for them to monitor. They said I needed to notify them by email. I emailed the address provided, ********************** on 4/27/2020. The email read "Please accept this email as formal notice of my Alarm Monitoring contract cancellation. Customer: **** ******** Acct ID: ***-*** Master Contract: **********".
  Since that time I continued to receive invoices for 5/2020-4/2021, 5/2021-4/2022, and 5/2022-4/2023. Each time I have called them and let them know the info above. Now they have engaged a collection agency to whom I wrote the above explanation as to why I was not paying. I don't know if this is a case of lack of Due Diligence on their part in the acquisition. In reviewing the BBB and other complaint websites, I found that this type of corrupt, predatory billing practice has been common for them.
  Please help to close this erroneous billing by Securitas. Thank you. *******

  I called Securitas Electronic Security, Inc on 02/28/2021 requesting that my residential alarm service with them be cancelled. They told on the phone that it would be cancelled.
  
  On 03/01/2022, I received an invoice from Securitas saying that I owed them $404.82 for billing from 3/1/2022 - 2/28/2023.
  
  I called them and let them know that I had cancelled service. They claimed they had no record of my cancellation and said I needed to send them an email in order to cancel service.
  
  I sent them an email on 3/2/2022 requesting my service to be cancelled again.
  
  I didn't receive a response to my email. I sent them 5 more emails requesting confirmation of my cancellation and finally received a response on 8/3/2022 (5 months later) from **** ***** at Securitas confirming that my service was cancelled as of 4/2/2022 (which is over a year later than when I originally tried to cancel my service). He stated that I owe $328.77 to be paid through the cancellation date of 4/2/2022.
  
  Even though I felt I didn't owe them anything as I had cancelled my service on 02/28/2021, I sent them a check for $328.77 just be done with this matter.
  
  On 05/26/203, Securitas sent me a letter stating that I owe them $385.43 and that if I didn't pay it within 5 days, my account would be sent a debt collector. I emailed **** ***** and their billing department again and stated I had already paid my balance and my account should be closed.
  
  I never received any response from Securitas.
  
  I have since received letters in the mail from two different debt collectors saying that I owe $771.08.
  
  This businees has a corrupt billing process that needs to be stopped. As evidenced by all the other similar complaints filed against them, they are trying to extort money out of their previous customers.
  
  BBB, please help.
  
  Sincerely, ***** ********
