April 29 2023 I was approached by a sales rep from vivint alarm company, the rep stated to me the equipment and installation were free of charge and Vivint would be paid through a company called Fortiva. After I started going over my accounts I realized charges from fortiva and seperate charge from vivint. I recently pulled out the agreement and found the equipment was over 3K over a 5 year period I do believe the price is outrageious. He advised me the payment to fortiva was for the monitoring and equipment,this was an outright lie. Vivint advised the 5 yr equipment was an agreement to use their monitoring. I .do not to wish to have a 5yr relationship with any alarm company. I want out of this contract, I am willing to give them back this expensive equipment, I was totally deceived by the rep. the rep ***** advised anything about the 3 day cancellation policy. I am feel ripped off due to these practices. just for your information all the documents signed electronically and sent to my email, if I would have known the price they charged for equipment I would have never signed with them. This a big rip off.Business Response

On 05/01/2024, a salesman (*********************) showed up at my door (8:30 pm) to tell me about Vivint's products. I decided to hear him out as I have had attempted break-ins at my home. He stated that he could get me an array of products in my home (for free - covered by Vivint) upon me putting a Vivint sign in my yard, allowing him to take a picture with me, and telling my neighbors positive things of Vivint. I agreed, upon his commitment to provide free equipment for my home and I would only be paying the fee to keep the equipment running. He sent a link to my phone and told me to just sign the documents, not explaining what they contained and the font was much too small to see and I was rushed. Before I finished signing documents, he already had a tech on the way to my house (at 10:00 pm). The tech was at my house until nearly midnight installing products. The next morning, **** showed up in my driveway grilling me with questions about my neighbors/neighborhood - very uncomfortable situation which happened twice. On 5/10/2024, I received an email from Citizens Pay that claimed I had a statement to pay. I clicked the link and signed up the account only to realize **** had taken out a loan in my name for $3,943.69 for the equipment that was supposedly covered. I confronted him about this charge and he became defensive, avoided all of my questions, and wouldn't help me. I contacted customer services and they stated I cannot cancel Vivint as our "3 day trial" was up and the loan needed to be paid off before cancellation. I was never notified of a trial period. I then went back and noticed I had been charged for multiple products that were not placed into my home and didn't agree to/want them as well. I was lied to and deceived in order to get the sale finalized and get the equipment installed before I could realize what was happening. This is a very violating experience to have.Business Response

We got Vivint smart home security a few months ago. The only reason we switched because they told us their cameras no longer used wifi and all of them had individual chips that connected to ******* wireless towers and would always be online no matter what. They came in to install the cameras. They destroyed previous equipment and installed everything wrong. The guy was very rude and demeaning to all questions asked and thought it was funny he installed everything wrong when he came back. We have had 7 or more tech visits because the cameras are always offline. Once they sent a tech who was local he informed me that they dont have chips in the camera and they are all wifi based. They get them to work and turn off the following day. After they tell us to unplug all of them and we have to reset them all every 2 days. They refuse that something is wrong. We switched to outdoor cameras inside. They said this is the best to do. They said it would fix the problem and to give them one last chance and not to cancel. We decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. They worked for a week and we were having the same issues. I have spent hours and hours on the phone. I found out recently they took $1593.28 out of my account with out asking and no notification I found out when i looked at my bank. Which is illegal. They keep telling me its my monthly automatic payment. And my monthly payment is $120. After continous back and forth they said they would send it to accounting and notify me in a few days. They only refunded me $1133. They refuse to cancel my contract and I have been paying all this money for cameras that dont work like they promised they would. And sold me with false advertisement of their products by their manager who says he works at corporate. They took money. I reported all this to vivint they claim they have no notes of this. I do know they have the phone calls. I would like my money back and a cancellation of contract for not holding up their end.Business Response

I purchased a security system from Vivint 09/04/23 and paid a deposit of ***** plus ******* for equipment. The contract states my monthly service fee is ***** which includes, ***** **************** ***** ********************** 7.99 Monthly Protection Plan. Since then each month from October 2023 my bill was ***** with the exception of December 2023 where the bill went up to *****. My bill was on autopay so I didn't receive a statement. I called and they couldn't explain the increase but issued a credit and I paid *****. January 2024 the bill went back to ***** and I called back and they issued a credit and I paid *****. February 2024 the bill went back to ***** and I stopped calling. My most recent bill increased to ***** with a new fee added, Utility and Gov't Fee 0.67. I have tried to resolve this issue since the October bill but each time you get a billing rep they transfer you to the sales group and they keep you on the phone for a long time going back and forth with nothing being resolved.Business Response

Date of the transaction: 05/11-2024
The amount of money you paid the business: $39.30 on the day of but agreed to a 60month term and equipment costing in excess of $3,500.
What the business committed to provide you: Safety, security, and protection through advanced equipment and home security monitoring.
What the nature of dispute is: Faulty equipment was provided. Some existing equipment was agreed to be utilized, but new equipment was installed for expedited ease in installation. While troubleshooting the issues associated with the newly installed equipment, they were unable to resolve the issue and noted a $99 service charge would be required to correct the issue. This being unsavory, given it is not even a week old, we decided to take the sales representative up on the 30 day cancellation we were verbally informed we had. We were informed that they would not allow us to cancel and would not pickup their equipment, noting we only had 3 days to cancel. This was followed by conversations with the sales associate where she again assured us we had 30 days and would resolve the issue. In lieu of resolving the issue, she told Vivint she never stated this. We signed the contract under duress, being overly pressured by the sales associate, Carmen H********, citing that we would have to wait days for install if we did not sign immediately and noted several documented crimes in the area in recent weeks, pushing us to sign at that moment.
Whether or not the business has tried to resolve the problem: They have not tried to resolve the issue. We no longer trust this company given their misrepresentation of services, faulty equipment, and pressure to sign a contract with them.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Vivint regarding their security services. My camera system has been offline for about three months, yet Vivint continues to charge me for services I cannot use. Despite contacting the company multiple times, the issue remains unresolved, and I am still being billed.When I requested to cancel my services, Vivint stated that I would need to pay off the remainder of my contract, even though they have refused to send a technician to inspect and repair the outdated equipment. They informed me that I would need to buy new equipment and settle the old contract before receiving new devices, which is financially unfeasible for **** have paid over $2,000 to Vivint and have had to call for repairs almost every three months, with the fixes being only temporary. This ongoing issue has been particularly problematic since my last calls in April and again on May 23rd, which have yet to result in a permanent solution. Vivint promises safety, security, and 24/7 monitoring, but I have not experienced continuous service as advertised.Moreover, I was never clearly informed that I was entering a 4-year contract or that I would be subject to monthly payments after my equipment was paid off. This lack of transparency is concerning.Vivints refusal to inspect and repair the equipment, along with their demand for additional payments, has placed a significant financial burden on me. Additionally, their failure to provide continuous service as stipulated in the contract could be considered a breach of contract terms.I am seeking the BBBs assistance in resolving this matter. My account number with ********************** is *********. I request that Vivint allow me to terminate my contract without penalty.Business Response

I am filing a complaint due to ongoing issues with the Vivint system. I continue to try and troubleshoot and call for assistance as well as having credits promised to me that has not been granted for poor service and failure of the system. I have had nothing but ongoing issues and have continue to pay for services that I'm not receiving. Vivint also wants to charge me for tech visits to troubleshoot and I refuse to pay when they know they have faulty equipment and continue to charge for a non working security system. This system does not do what is was designed to do which is secure homes. It does not alert you when the door bell is being rung. Vivint is truly not a customer service company.Business Response

I have asked to cancel my services due to me selling my home before my closing date. The agent had ensured me that my services will be canceled on the date I requested. After I sold my home I requested to have new services added to my new location but was told I cannot add services (apartment complex) so I have called to cancel my services. I had called before any installation time scheduled and informed the agent that I have to cancel my installation and any pending services due to not having permission to add security. I also requested to cancel my services. After a few days I was charged for services for my previous address that I had stopped services for. I went to view my account online and the Vivint app and I had no access to my account (My access to my account was deleted before my new installation request). I called Vivint customer service to complain about being charged and the agent was not only helpful but was rude. She made me send an email to have my services canceled in which I did. I have asked about my charges made to my account for services and I asked for a refund. Now I am checking on the status of my cancellation and I am being told I cannot cancel due to early termination services that I am not contracted. I have added a doorbell camera Dec 2023 in which I have paid off myself and because I have added another equipment I somehow added a 5 year service commitment. They are being fraudulent and deceptive. I wanted my services canceled and wanted a refund for payment on service I no longer have access or control of.Business Response

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.
