I sold my home in March 2023. They stated that I have to continue to pay on services that I do not use whatsoever. Upon receiving services with this company I was unaware of the Contract as I was notified that I am able to cancel and would not be held liable, Reps came and knocked on my door and offered the services stated that they were going door to door and that other in the neighborhood signed up for services and that we should try out the services. Upon listening to what was being offered we decided to sign up but the only reason I signed up was because my then partner was denied and the Sales Rep stated that I should try and it would be something great to have and that my credit might be better. I have tried tirelessly to seek help with this fraudulent company. I've had countless other issues with the most recent one being that I have been on the phone with them for the past wk regarding Funds being withdrawn, and being told different things every time I speak to a different representative and continuously being transferred over time and time again. I just want this Nightmare to end.Business Response

Vivint came out to install a system, when they finished they left cameras not installed and sitting in a box. Then the panel started having issues connecting to cameras, I called and was told the cameras were deleted and can’t be connected. So I stopped worrying about that issue and then on July 31st all cameras stopped working. This went on for two weeks and you would think that if a security system stopped working, the people monitoring would let you know, instead of me calling multiple times for help and not getting any results. So it’s now the 29th of Aug and my cameras are still offline. I’ve called Vivint only to be directed to my internet company, I call my internet company only to have them tell me everything is fine, I call my router company only to be told Vivint isn’t telling me the correct information. So I’m at a loss for what to do, but I can’t keep waiting for Vivint to give me a system that works. I have yet to alarm my system because it’s never worked.Business Response

Transaction Date: 8/22/24
I have been a Vivint customer since 2017. This is a warning to ALL Vivint Customers! I fell on financial hard times and had got a couple of months past due and was planning to catch up on 8/27/24 but unfortunately Vivint made a decision to take 3 automatic withdrawals on 8/22/24 and I NEVER AUTHORIZED THESE PAYMENTS of $59.13, $59.13 $ $64.54. I only had $8.00 in the bank, which shows I never approved this. I was charged $35 for each transaction, my account was -$287.80. I about passed out! I immediately contacted Vivint about the fraudulent charges and was told I had authorized a payment back in Nov 2023. And I explained because they were about to cut my services off, so I did approve that ONE TIME! Also, the same thing happened in March of this year, they automatically took pass due payment but they did refund me immediately. I pay my on bills online. I no longer want to do business with them and I want my overdraft charges I had to pay refunded by them. I had to close my account, so Vivint need to send me a check for $105.00. They even told me that they don't do checks! Anyway, send me a gift card or check. I refuse to give out my account number EVER again to them. They can not be trusted. Please give this complaint to the CEO of Vivint and pay my overdraft fees. Sincerely, a long time customer. Judy Jacob/8718 Misty Bluff Ct, Dallas TX 75249Business Response

Complainant: Judy Jacob
Vivint Account #: *******
Date of Agreement: 2/3/17
To Whom It May Concern:
I have reviewed the information provided by Ms. Judy Jacob and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
In her complaint, Ms. Jacob states that Vivint took unauthorized withdrawals for her past due account which put her account in the negative. She desires to have $105 refunded to her.
Vivint’s records indicate that Ms. Jacob signed a Purchase and Services Agreement (Agreement) on 2/3/17 with an initial term of sixty (60) months which states “You authorize Vivint to make electronic fund transfers in the amounts identified in your Agreement as your monthly services fee, including all past due amounts, service fees or amounts which may accumulate in arrears according to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.” Vivint’s records indicate that Ms. Jacob has been consistently past due since 10/17. Vivint’s records indicate that Ms. Jacob’s account was closed and sent to an outside collection agency due to nonpayment on 11/27/23. Vivint’s records indicate that Vivint reinstated Ms. Jacob’s account with a payment of $149.09 and forgave the remainder of her $261.77 past due bill. Vivint’s records indicate that Ms. Jacob was contacted multiple times via panel and app regarding her past due balance and requesting Vivint be contacted to make a payment or payment arrangements. Vivint's records do not indicate that Ms. Jacob requested deferment, payment arrangements or other help with her past due balance.
A representative from Vivint has reached out to Ms. Jacob in an effort to resolve this matter. Despite the information above, in a gesture of good will, Vivint agrees to apply 3 free months of monitoring which equal about $177 and agrees to permanently reduce Ms. Jacob’s monthly rate from $59.16 to $34.99. Ms. Jacob may contact Vivint’s representative directly to accept the offer, to discuss other resolutions or if she has any further questions or concerns.
If you have further questions or concerns regarding this response, please respond to either our mailing address: 4931 North 300 West, Provo, Utah 84604, or fax number: (801) 765-5759, attention Department 160 – Legal.

I had a sales *** by the name of *************************** come to my door on the evening of 08/19/2024. Through our conversation he stated he was going to give me a 1-week free trial and I could cancel if I didn't want to keep the service. I agreed to a 1-week free trial. The technician showed up an hour or so later and spent the evening install the system. I told him I was just doing the week free trial and he confirmed. Fast-forward 1 week to Monday 08/26/24 when I called customer service to cancel my service I was told that ******* only set me up for a THREE day trial and was NOT told about this when he was here. I would not have gone with a 3-day trial as that is too short of a period to really try out the system, however, the 1-week trial he verbally told me I was getting was perfect. After several calls to customer service ***s they would not honor his word to me with the 1 week free trial and now have me forced into this contract till 2029. He opened a line of credit under my name, which he did NOT tell me he was doing. He texted me his name from his phone number and I tried calling him multiple times with no answer or call back. He never responded to any of my texts. I feel very deceived and disrespected that ******* would not honor his word to con me into this contract. Please assist in resolving this situation.Business Response

I have been a customer of vivint since I bought my home in 2018. Upon our initial purchase, several promises were made. A contract was signed. When we received the product and saw the bill, changes had been made. We complained, they apologized and said it was an independent contractor that did it and corrected the issue. Then a few years later a no purchase necessary camera upgrade was offered if we listened to a sales pitch about solar panels. They borderline harassed us about solar panels for months after, we never received the camera. Just now I saw my bill went up. I checked statements and they raised my bill and added services without consulting me. When I inquired why, they said that my contract ended so they raised my bill and added services. I felt that was inappropriate to add services and increase my bill without consent. My bill went from 35 and change to 52. For 6 months. So I was overcharged to the tune of 102 dollars or so over 6 months.Business Response

I am trying to close my account with Vivint. I have paid the fee to close my account. And Vivint is saying they are going to continue to charge me a monthly fee after doing this over the phone they said I needed to do it in writing. I have been emailing Vivint with no response.

A door to door Vivint salesman came to my door today. Disregarded our neighborhoods no solicitation signs and the one on my door he knocked on. In Florida he’s considered trespassing. He tried to make small talk about my dog and my neighbors. I told him it was a no solicitation neighborhood and shut my door, I will never do business with this company and will discourage anyone else.

June ******* I called Vivint to cancel my account. I was on the phone with Vivint while also calling ******** bank to make sure my equipment was paid off. They confirmed with each other. I also emailed the letter stating why I was canceling like they requested. I told them I had sold my house in ******** and moved to **********. I was told it would take 30 days to process my request. 30 days later July ******* I was charged for Vivint services again. I called again and had to again call ******** bank to confirm the equipment was paid off. Was assured my account was canceled this time and it was pushed through by a supervisor and it would take 3-5 business days. August ******* I was charged AGAIN. I called again asking why and no one could understand why it had no been canceled. A supervisor again pushed it through and they told me it would be 7 business days before it would be canceled and I would be refunded for three months of charges. I called again today August ******* because it is still not canceled. They still have no explanation. Every time I ask to speak with a supervisor they refuse. Today they said a supervisor would be calling me back, but it has not happened. I tried to go online and turn off the auto pay but I can't without adding a new payment method. I called my back to stop payments but they said they can't do it because it's a card transaction not a withdrawal from my bank account directly. I need the serviced canceled. I had been hit with overdraft fees on my bank account for the payments. I would like my money back. I have no idea what to do. I need help please.Business Response

LEFT A LOT OF IMPORTANT information out
Said you had 30 days to opt out but it was 3 days
Did not show me every page of the contract the tablet
Did not disclose that the equipment was 4000
Said that I could finance with Vivint
He did not disclose that they use a third party
He opened a 4000 line of credit thorough Fortiva
It drops my credit score by 60 points. Cause me financial hardship loan was denied
Called Fortiva they said Vivint would have to remove the line of credit.
when I told them I need to cancel because it is way to much for a system i can purchase way cheaper anywhere else.
Vivint said I had only two options pay the 4000 to fortiva or they could remove the line of credit, but I would have pay off the equipment in five months. And I could downgrade on the approval of the saleperson I remove the garage and backyard cameras. To lower the cost but they could not give a straight answer about the new cost. This has been a very stressful I feel so helpless it has barley been a month . And was told that I would not have a bill until oct. but when I log in, I have past due amount of 41.22.

On or about May 2020 I called to end the last 3 months of my contract with Vivint as I were selling the home s/w an Agent who suggested to transfer the account to the new owners. Both parties were engaged in a conference call to complete said transaction. All was completed and verified. Now 6 years later I’m receiving harassing phone calls from various collection agencies threatening me personally - when speaking to yet another Vivant agent it was stated “ there are no notes in your account to verify this “ I can verify this as there was no phone calls or bills sent - the final bill had been paid on my part. After two hours on the phone today a rep told me that when this transfer was supposed to happen Vivint did NOT transfer the account to the new owners - instead they created a new account for the new owners so that a new commission could be earned without anything in writing or being signed by either party. Now 6 years later I start getting ugly phone calls from various people threatening my livelihood literally for charges I did not incur furthermore when I did have their service it was terrible - paid for premium service so if any problems a tech would come out to fix it - that was a lie - smoke detector going off at all hours and no monitoring by Vivint hence why I did not just transfer service to my new home. I can prove this as fact with closing documents and the new account holders information including their payment info which I should not be able to have if the above weren't truth. They are a TERRIBLE unethical business. To take it even further Vivint claims there are no documented calls from me at all in their system - Vivint sold my private information to gain a fraudulent buck. Buyers beware these people will scam you - also giving other foreign countries - that hate the USA- outsourcing - your private information - this is supposed a security company? How is this lawful? I don’t want money back - I want the harassment to stop.Business Response

Why choose a BBB Accredited Business?BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
