I began speaking w/ Alert 360 in early November 2024 re: cancellation of my alarm systems in 2 homes. My parents' home is for sale and no one currently lives there. My home has a new alarm system from *******. I spoke w/ several people from Alert 360, all of which referred me to another person to speak with. I finally spoke w/ a person by the name of ***** ********* who then referred me to a person named ****** *****. Both ***** and ****** "assured" me that my account would be canceled. I am STILL being billed for 2 alarm systems that are no longer in existence. I want a total refund from November and December 2024. I have also alerted **************** to put a block on this company for any further payment.

This company bought out my alarm provider. They sent out a tech 1 month ago to install a motion sensor that they claimed needed to be replaced. The motion sensor had 3 false alarms in less than 2 weeks. They sent a tech back out to replace the motion sensor that had just been replaced and have had 4 more false alarms since the replacement. I spoke with them today about a bill I have received for their false alarms from Colorado Springs Police Department 6today after another false alarm. They told me the bill is my problem and all they will do is send out the same tech to replace the sensor.

I had to file a warranty claim on Oct 23, 2024 to have a door tag replaced. I was told I couldn't pick up on at the local office that they had to bring it out and install it. I have the monthly warranty plan that covers devices and parts. I was told I would still have to pay a TRIP charge of $49. But I got the monthly bill and I was charged $55 for the door tag. I called customer ********************** about it and they said they didn't know why I was charged but it will be escalated up and I will get a response in 3 days. I still haven't received a response and would like my refund of $55 for the part since I had to have them come out to the house under the warranty plan.

My shop was broken into at 459am after 10 really good hits and head butt's at my front door and the glass break sensor didn't pick it up until the ahol was already inside ********er didn't call me til 5:03am At this time the guy was already leaving The ********er couldn't tell me what sensor was going off . She said she didn't know . Just that the alarm was going off. So I clearly stated to ******** police. I later learned she did not ******** when I told her too. She waited to call me again 2nd time with the same questions I told her to ******** the police again . I also call **** police to let them know what was going on.I would not trust this company for the delays of dispatching and failure of communication & dispatching when told tp Lack of security Failure of equipment Complete failure Update Friday oct 25th Still no call back from corporate After being told Tuesday they will give a call back within 48 hours That's is 13 min after alarm went off And still 10 min after I told them to ******** police and even confirmed someone was inside of the shop! they had the audacity to call me again 2nd time asking the same dam questions after I thought they had dispatched police! I had to ******* my self to cobb county police to let them know what was going on . after I called police arrived 2 min to the shop and when I got there they confirmed with me they recieved my call first before alert 360 .Update Until today oct 27 @ 4:31 pm someone called to argue with me about how the municipality requires two phone calls to dispach police when your alarm goes off.And that's why it took 16 min to ******** police I called in and asked this personally Company full of lies!I even googled it and it's lies!They don't know what else to say.because they know they screwed up!They know they failed.They know they are at fault.Sadly I actually called them in months prior to the break in to add 2 panic button and to update any equipment. And tech said confirmed everything was good

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. After careful research, we show the glassbreak was tripped upon the glass at the front of the business being broken, and functioned as designed. The central station responded to Mrs. ******** incident in accordance with Marietta, GAs Alarm Ordinance section A-17, which says in the event of an alarm, alarms must be verified by contacting the alarm site and/or alarm user by telephone and/or other electronic means, and that at minimum a second call be made if the first attempt fails to reach an alarm user who can properly identify themselves. Glassbreak detectors are designed and programmed to respond to a certain range of sound frequencies generally attributed to typical glass breaking. While there can be some sensitivity adjustment, in general an object impacting glass without shattering it, will not trigger most devices. In this instance, the central station dispatched PD as quickly as possible, and ******** PD arrived promptly. However, the burglars had already fled the location. We are sorry to hear of the property loss that occurred in this case. However, we can confirm that all dispatching procedures were performed in accordance with the standards set by both the ************************** and Alert 360.Initial Complaint

My account was sold to this company without my knowledge and even though I canceled back in September 2024 when I found out, they will not cancel my account and continue to bill me for services I don't want. I talked to them multiple times and did exactly as they instructed me to do to cancel and they are still billing me. I have no contract with them and never had one.

Alert 360 took over my security system monitoring and service from Koorsen in *********** IN. Alert 360 has been charging me for monitoring and service repairs with a $0 trip fee. We called for service for defective door and window contacts and Alert 360 says they do not have a dealer in my area and they want me to cancel the contract. This raises the questions of why Alert 360 would take over a contract if they cannot service it and why they have been charging me a fee for servicing my system when they say that they cannot service it.Customer Answer
Date: 11/10/2024
My security system can only be armed if I bypass the front door and garage window that have defective sensors. If I bypass the front door and garage windows, then anyone can break in to the front door and garage window and the alarm will not go off and no alarm will be sent to the monitoring station. It is not safe. Safety is why we bought a security alarm system.

We would like to offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience we may have caused. Alert 360 prides itself on industry-leading customer **********************, and we would never want a customer to have a negative experience. In this instance, Mr. ***** did not sign an agreement with Alert 360. Alert 360 made a bulk purchase of accounts formerly *********************** by Alarm Connections, which is no longer in business.
After careful review, we have determined there are no available service providers within Mr. ****** service area with whom we have a relationship at this time. Mr. ***** is welcome to arrange for his own local service provider to complete the necessary repairs to his security system, and we will offer him a credit of up to $200 to offset the repair cost. Once the repairs are completed, Mr. ***** will need to find a new alarm company to ensure continued protection and service. We recommend starting this process as soon as possible to avoid any gaps in security coverage. We appreciate Mr. ****** understanding and cooperation, and if he has any questions or needs further assistance,
he may contact us directly.Initial Complaint

My system has been malfunctioning since 9/***** is very difficult for me set up a time for a repair within the companies hours of operations. A repairman came to my home and left without resolving the issue. Additionally, he will not answer his phone to provide me with up dates after assuring me that he would diagnose and correct the issue. I have a new appointment with a different agent next week. I am requesting that I be reimbursed for the past two months when the system has been inoperable. I was delayed by a bad technician that left us in disarray with no explanation.I have attempted to reach out to the company directly and have received no response.

I have had an Alert 360 account for approaching seven (7) years. I have long since paid for all equipment. Alert 360 confirmed this too. I also have called several times over the course of my layered hardships. I spelled out to them and I sent and have full proof of my and my familys onset medical hardships since covid and related serious respiratory illnesses. Next, my job of approaching eight (8) years closed the whole division down and I lost my job. Nonetheless, I made best efforts to pay and to call and to even write Alert 360. Recently, I had to go to the hospital a few weeks ago and I was shocked to get an inflated bill for over $700 from them. This bill should be immediately zeroed. It is unfair and unsubstantiated. I had even asked them several months ago if I could or should simply cancel the monitoring side of their service since they confirmed I own the equipment. Equally important, I wrote to their Executive *************** when they sent this unwarranted astronomical bill. I am a senior citizen, recovering from documented hardships. I even asked them in my recent letter to them to zero my bill and buy back their equipment. Please assist me as this is a predatory styled billing move.Thank you in advance.

After viewing her account and situation, we have accepted this complaint as a cancelation request. We have canceled Mrs. ******* agreement with nothing further owed.
