      Having a HUGE problem with Vivant & the Cancelation of our service. When the Technician came out on 3/12 he told us we had 30 days to make sure we were happy with the ************ would be back to verify we still wanted the Security system . We called on 4/5 and let Vivant know that we were not happy with the service the cameras were acting up and they were not producing the quality that we were promised that we wanted to go ahead and cancel the service. We were told at that time that they couldn't cancel the service unless the *************** agreed so they called the finance company while we were on the phone and the *************** agreed to refund the money back to vivant while we were on the phone with Vivant so the rep heard everything. After we disconnected with the finance company the Vivint Rep stated that he wouldn't be able to cancel the service yet they would have to have the Tech come out and service the equipment if they did that 3 times and there was still a problem then after that they would be able to cancel the service so we scheduled to have a Technician come out Saturday 4/6 to look at the system. When the Vivint Rep came out to the house on 4/6 he told us he was not there to look at the equipment his paperwork stated he was there to take all the equipment back we had him call his supervisor to verify the information on his work order just to make sure & after getting off the phone with his supervisor he came back up to the house & told us Yes he has ************* is there to take all the equipment back the service has been canceled. We have this recording because the system was not taken down as of yet. Well needless to say we have been back & forth with Vivint the *************** doesn't/didn't have an issue refunding the funds back to Vivint. We want the service cancelled and no more charges taken from our account we are NOT paying for something that we do not have in our possession any longer Vivant has ALL the equipment.

      I have been trying since 2022 to cancel my service and even had my bank send out a signed letter notarized requesting that they discontinue service and they have refused obviously because they are still illegally charging my account $30 every month! I have repeatedly called and called and can never get anyone on the phone to resolve this! My next steps will be to take legal action. Stop taking money from my bank account every month illegally!

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I want a refund for the amount that was wrongfully taken from my account. I will respond to the Vivint email with a copy of the notarized request my bank sent to them within the next day or so once I get a copy from my bank. I do want them to cancel my service immediately, as well as my refund.

      started service: Mon, Sep 4, 2023 We are a family of law enforcement enticed by the high tech features that came with the service. We were excited to have the system as we need high security to make our the police patrol vehicle and police "stuff" protected inside the house. I am also a victim of domestic violence and really trusted that this would make me feel safe while my partner is working. We understand their are hiccups but we never had a working garage function. We also had our sensors going off multiple times which scared me tremedously being home alone. We even had the police come to the house when we were on vacation saying the alarm was going off. We had a technician come to see what the issues was and even added on the $10 a month for insurance. He said he needed to move the unit from inside to outside the front door because it was incorrectly installed.Then shortly after the garage stopped working. We used the chat function (im sure you can find a ton of messages) we rebooted and did all of the steps. We finally stopped trying. I was exhausted from continuously being told the problem was fixed when it wasnt. We had a contract for service that was not fufilled and did not work properly from day 1. I didnt feel protected and I felt taken advantage of. I even referred three people in the neighborhood and posted a picture to our neighborhood page. We have a credit card for the equipment and would like that to be cancelled. We would like to have the service cancelled and give the equipment back with the credit card balance being taken off of the Citzens financing. I am not going to post about this to the neighborhood and am not the one to talk badly to others about a company. I am just asking that this be made right. We are moving into a new house we purchased and will go back to using our Blink security system. If you check records, you will see all of the messages and calls that we made trying to resolve our issues.

      On May 15th, 2024, Vivint charged $2078.41 from my account which was an unauthorized charge. I contacted Vivint and they admitted it was an error on their end and explained that amount was supposed to be added to my fortiva account. I am in the process of receiving a refund. However, I tried cancelling my contract but the agent said I had to pay about $1000 to buy out my contract. I was told I had 30 days to cancel my contract on the day of signing with a sales representative. May 15th marked the 30th day. I was still within the rights to cancel. On the Vivint webpage I was made aware that I only had 3 days when the sales representative advised me the day on signing that I had 30 days to cancel.

      In August 2023 a Vivint sales rep came to my home and asked if I would consider his sales pitch. I initially told him I did not have the money to afford a security system but he informed me I could "rent" the equipment if I put a Vivint sign in my yard and at any time I wanted to get rid of the system I could free of charge. He told me it was a promotion they were running. I informed him that my credit was not great and I was trying to improve my finances but he stated it would not affect my credit as I would own nothing and I could return the equipment and cancel the service anytime. I signed consents with the sales rep but during the signature process and survey he was talking throughout it and distracting me by talking about my children and his experiences. I was unaware that what I was signing was forms to own the extremely over priced security equipment. The sales rep took my bank information to set up payments and I saw these payments coming out of my account monthly. What I did not know was that I had actually purchased equipment through a company called Fortiva. I was not making payments to Fortiva as I was not informed I owned equipment through them until I realized my credit score had plummeted. I attempted to contact Vivint numerous times to get this resolved and was informed the sales rep was terminated but they could not do anything to help me other than put my vivint account on hold until I caught up on my Fortiva payments. I did not realize I was also locked into a contract with Vivint for 5 years as this was not disclosed to me in the fine print I was signing while the sales rep was distracting me with misleading information and deceptive techniques.

      I called VIVINT and spoke with a rep regarding their security monitor system. I already have all equipment from ADT and was wanting to try another company. The rep told me that they would be able to use my equipment no additional cost, installation was free. That was not true. The tech that came to my house advised me that he would have to replace the equipment that was the first. Then they did a credit check, and I was approved. So, the tech stated I needed to use my checking account for ********************, so I added it. Two days later there was a charge of $264.99 and $12.99. They also asked for a payment, so I gave him my credit card and that was $41.47. I called and canceled because no one told me they were taking money out of my checking account for the amount of $264.99. I have requested all my money back and scheduled for VIVINT to return their equipment. They scheduled me the same day then cancelled making me wait a week. I was told I will not get a refund until the equipment is back in warehouse so now, they are just collecting interest off of my money. I was told I was getting a refund and I have not. When the tech came to my house to remove the equipment, he also took the power adapter that was hardwired by ADT and left the cords sticking out. That was stealing because it did not belong to VIVINT. I did not notice he took it; my fianc was downstairs handling it while I worked. I am getting the run around to have it placed back. Not only did they take my money, but they came back to my house and took equipment that did not belong to them, and I want my power adapter and money back as soon as possible.

      Vivint incorrectly installed our alarm system in September 2023 and a tech broke equipment during installation. A new tech came out in December 2023 and made it clear the previous tech caused the equipment malfunction. The new tech upgraded us to a new camera as Vivint did not carry the old camera. Because previous tech broke our camera they agreed to charge us $99.99 to upgrade to the new camera. 2 months later they charged us $349 for the new camera and put us on a payment plan. We were being charged interest from Citizens, Vivints equipment loan company, however they had no signed contract for payment and have since refunded us the interest as they have no info on transaction. Vivint also has no info or signed paperwork on the transaction and have continued to charge us the $349.00 without any proof of transaction. They are charging us on the basis of camera being released into our possession and nothing else. Vivint has confirmed on recorded line that a) the problem was caused by their tech b) the equipment loan company has no documentation c) they do not have documentation of us purchasing the camera d) the transaction of the upgrade e) Vivint processed the transaction incorrectly. Vivint also reached out to the field tech who also confirmed he did the upgrade due to previous tech errors. In saying all this I have spent 16 hrs total on phone with this issue and they are 100% aware that this was an issue by them on stated grounds earlier but still will not refund us the amount due. I am pretty sure it is illegal for them to charge customers without signed contracts and Citizen the equipment loan company charging us interest on an item we never agreed to purchase at the price. Vivint was clear it was a processing error on their side but will not take ownership of their mistakes on multiple fronts. Please help us resolve this issue as the company has stolen money from our family. Thank You
