Alert360 contacted me, I have never heard of them. My security monitoring provider was Security *********. Maybe Alert360 purchased them or maybe this is a scam. Alert 360 insisted I had an auto renewal and owed them for several months which I dispute. They can not produce any contract I have signed with them because there is none, there is no contract with Security Force either. My system was over 30 years old and original service dated back to a local company Security Alert. I do not remember how many times the monitoring companies have been sold over all the years. My security system died shortly after my last annual payment to Security ********* in March of 2024 and has not been replaced, therefore no monitoring has occurred by Alert360. I asked them not to call as I am 89 years old and do not hear well. They insisted to send an email on how to cancel account, my son helped me do so, including this explanation. I never received confirmation of cancellation but I did receive another letter stating outstanding balance due with no stated amount. Instructions to log on to their website. My son helped me attempt this and using the customer number provided in their letter and the login fails. My request is that Alert360 cancels all this and leaves me alone. I mailed them a letter stating all this again.Customer Answer

Summer of 2024 contacted Alert 360 to discontinue Security Monitoring Services at my home address. Was told by the representative "I'm not closing the account; you will not be charged for monitoring services until you reach back out to reconnect you Security Monitoring Services." I shared had no idea of the timeline nor if we would reconnect at all.I begin receiving new invoices for my Security Monitoring Services; promptly contacted accounting and shared the above information. Was told "Representative did not handle account correctly, an email will be sent so account can be closed appropriately". Information was verified as accurate from their search of the file. Since then, I've received another invoice, promptly sent back invoice with all the above information to company. 5/9/25 a "Service Discontinuation Notice" was sent, "to continue your security services, avoid additional fees, and protect your credit record, please contact us today". Sent an email to ********************************** with the above information again. Sending this notice to protect myself from account "being sent to a collection agency" as per the notice.Business Response

Alert 360 prides itself on industry-leading customer
service, and we would never want a customer to have a negative
experience. We always want to do everything we can to resolve any
customer's concerns. We have reached out to Mr. Glynn and reached a resolution, we now consider this matter to be resolved.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the business’ response and accept this
resolution. Alert 360 quickly responded and resolved my complaint upon Alert 360 being notified.I've had great service from Alert 360 except for not acting upon the final statement within a reasonable time frame.
When we decide to have our system monitored again, I will most certainly reach out to Alert 360 for a new monitoring agreement.

I have been a customer of ************************** for 7 years. In April 2025, I received a letter from the company stating that I needed to schedule a system check. During the follow-up, I was informed that my security system had actually been disconnected for over 25 months and I had never been notified during that ******* the letter, Alert 360 claimed they had attempted to notify me by phone. However, the first and only call I ever received from them regarding this issue was also in April 2025 the same time the letter arrived.This is unacceptable for a monitoring service I have paid for continuously. Despite the system being offline for more than two years, Alert 360 is only offering a 6-month credit. I am requesting a fair resolution either a full refund for the affected period or a service credit that accurately reflects the duration of the service failure. I believe this should be properly addressed.Business Response

Alert 360 prides itself on industry-leading customer *********************** and we would never want a customer to have a negative experience. We always want to do everything we can to resolve any customer's concerns. When we spoke with Mr. **** we explained that we had made sent several notices of the system issues via text message and email, notifying him to contact us so that the technical issues could be addressed. The several times we did speak with him regarding the technical issues and offered to send a technician to his business he advised he would call back; however, he did not call back to schedule that service call. We advised Mr. *** that due to these notices going un-attended and our multiple attempts to address his technical issues the most we could offer was a 6-month refund in good faith. Mr. *** accepted this offer on 4/30/2025. This refund request is being processed and will be mailed soon. We consider this matter to be resolved per our agreement with the customer.Customer Answer

The service has been disconnected for more than 25 months, and Alert 360 only provides a 6-month refund option or 12-month bill waiver in the future. For such an unprofessional company, definitely do not continue their service. I asked for more refunds, but Alert 360 did not provide more refunds.Initial Complaint

We have had an account in good standing with Alert 360 since 2021. At the end of 2024, we reached the end of our 3 year contract and wished to no longer continue with Alert 360, and it was made clear that we couldnt cancel until the agreement was finished. It was not made clear to us that cancelling service meant we could no longer access control of the equipment we own. So soon after cancelling we called back and tried to reconcile. January of 2025 we signed another 3-year contract. Now we are moving and wished to cancel our service since all of our equipment is paid off, and we were expecting a cancellation fee. They would not allow us to cancel at all per our contact. We then asked if we could transfer service to finish out our contract, and they told us we could if we bought out 9 months of our contract, which was around $450 and buy all new equipment or pay $1250 and cancel entirely. Our agreement states that customers qualify for their ************************** Move program if Customers that have completed at least one year of service at their previous location with an active account in good standing at the time of the move are eligible. We have completed more than 12 months and should qualify, but they wont let us because this is a new contract. Alert 360 has continually been lacking in communication and the full scope of the commitment was obscured, whether intentionally or through negligence. Our options are to pay them $1250 to cancel, or $450 and a whole new set of equipment to transfer. Or the final option was to continually pay them their monthly fee and hope the new owners sign up for Alert 360. At this point we want our contract to be null and void and wish to no longer continue service with Alert 360.Business Response

We regret Mr. ******* dissatisfaction with Alert 360. We pride ourselves on industry-leading customer **********************, and we never want to have a negative interaction with a customer. When we initially spoke to Mr. ****** at the end of December 2024 regarding the continuation of his services, Mr. ****** did agree to a 3-year agreement and a new equipment upgrade, and his intention to sell his home and move within the next few months was not made clear. As we do wish to resolve this matter, we contacted Mr. ****** and have reached a mutually agreeable resolution, and we now consider this matter closed.Customer Answer

I cancelled my service with Alert360 on March 19th because we are moving out of state. I have an email from them showing it was cancelled. They billed me on March 24th (5 days after cancelling) for the service, which when I talked to someone on the phone when I cancelled, they said I would have one more bill. I was set up for autopay and Alert360 just took another $65.51 on April 22nd (over a month after cancelling). I called them and the person I spoke with just kept repeating "April 22nd was my last bill". NO, They billed me in advance when I signed up, and now billing me for a month I didn't even have their service. I want refund for the $65.51 they just took from me for a service they did not provide!Business Response

I paid $1,200 to Alert360 for what was promised to be a top-tier home security system with 24/7 monitoring, emergency response, and complete protection. A few months later, my home was burglarizedand the system completely failed. I had armed it exactly as instructed. When I returned, the alarm system was ripped out, items stolen, and the worst part: the system never went off. No alert. No call. No police. Nothing.I immediately contacted Alert360leaving daily voicemails, begging for help. For a full week, no one responded. When I finally spoke to someone, they told me a technician could come outat $65/hr, despite their system failing. The tech couldnt explain why it didnt work. He was as confused as I was. That made me feel even more unsafe.For nearly two weeks, I had no alarm system and no protection. I hired another company just to feel safe again. When I tried to cancel with Alert360, they made it extremely difficulttelling me I was locked into a contract, even after their system failed during an actual break-in. They offered to reinstall a new systemat my expense.Alert360 did not deliver what I paid for. Their system failed in a real emergency. They were unresponsive, unhelpful, and showed no accountability.I am requesting:A full refund of $1,200 Immediate contract cancellation without penalty Written confirmation that I wont be charged further or sent to collections Im filing this complaint because I dont want anyone else to go through this. Alert360 is unreliable, unresponsive, and unprepared for real emergencies. One of the biggest regrets Ive ever had.Business Response

We regret Mr. ****** home was burglarized, however we do not agree with his allegations regarding Alert 360. After the burglary at this home, He had a working security system on the day of the burglary, however the perpetrators appeared to be professionals and knew how to overcome his security system. We found the alarm panel torn from the wall, and according to Mr. ***** the equipment was found submerged in water in the sink when they got home, showing that the burglars in this case we're very sophisticated. The cost of the alarm equipment that was damaged should be claimed on & covered by their homeowners insurance should they file a claim. Alert 360 is not an insurance company and is not responsible for a home being burglarized. Mr. ***** asked to be released from his 3-year security agreement with no further obligation, so in order to move forward positively we agreed to his request and have released him from his agreement without any further obligation. We do wish we could have reached a better conclusion to Mr. ******* situation, and we wish him the best with the next security provider he chooses. We consider this matter to be closed.Initial Complaint

I used to have a sensor problem 2 of my windows then I have called alert 360 for to fix the issue. They sent a technician on Feb 18 th and the guy checked the box and removed and cut something but he wasd unprofessional because he was asking to someone on the phone about what to do. Then almost all the window sensors stopped working ! He told me all the wires are bad and I have to change all windows wireless sensors! He messed everything then asked me to upgrade!!! I was so mad but I jusrt asked him any cost about wireless sensors and he told me with 3 years contract just around $3 fee for per sensor. I said ok acceptable then let's do it. He left and I received the contract but monthly fee was so high, I asked several times why is so high! They told me I need to change all window sensors and for each sensor I need to pay $3 monthly for 36 month! It is unbelievable! Unacceptable! Technician messed up my security system then they are pushing me sign a contract and and pay these sensors! What a mess!!I want them to fix what they damaged that's all!Business Response

I moved out of state and sold my house which is why services are no longer neede from Alert 360. I was told my contract would be canceled back in July of 2024 and in November of 2024 they informed me they would refund money by check that was auto drafted out of my account. Now on the 20th of March they are informing me of a three year contract which was never verbally disclosed to me. And are requesting a buy out of $800.00. They have been crediting my monthly service for the last 4 months, up until today when I called about another bill I recieved.Business Response

I purchased the system April 19th, 2023. I had a window that was having issues and was within my 1 year ***** I had been told there was a 1 year warranty. However, it needed batteries replaced and the warranty doesnt cover the batteries. $***** for 2 batteries. Thats fine. Note, Ive been on auto draft since I got the service. No one told me that I had to call and pay the ***** on the phone. When I looked online at invoice history it says paid. Since Im auto drafted I never looked at it again. Now, 1 year later they are threatening to send me to collections. I did receive an email saying I owed more than my usual amount. I called and they said that my payments are current. Looked on bank acct and theyve always taken out the correct amount each month. I finally called them and they said that 3 months ago they switched systems and they havent been taking out my auto draft. Fine, Ill pay the 3 months I owe. BUT, the amount wasnt mathing. She said I had a past due balance. Huh? My bank shows the correct amount has been auto drafted out of my acct since I started service. Even though their system shows I paid the $***** for batteries, they are saying I didnt and have been charging me $5.00 in late fees every month since. BUT, when you go online to my invoices they say theyve all been paid, including the $*****. She said it was just a glitch in their system and the $***** was never paid even though the invoices shows it as paid. The confusion and glitch in their system shouldnt constitute a customer having to pay late fees.Business Response
