      Hello,

      In December 2023 I signed a contract with Vivint Smart Security. A salesperson came to my door offering me the service, which seemed like a very good deal since he offered me several services. This seller promised me several things which he didn't deliver and from the beginning I had problems. The first lie was that I was only going to get one bill a month from Vivint in the amount of $90.37... Several times I asked him if he was only going to make a single payment to which he replied yes. It turns out my first payment came in 2 separate bills... I immediately contacted the seller and Vivint Customer Service and they told me that I was indeed going to be charged separately, $34.06 for the Vivint service for using the app to monitor the cameras from my phone or any other device and the second payment of $56.31 belonged to Fortiva for the purchase of the security equipment.

      Mainly the issue I'm having right now is the one below, if additional info is required, please let me know as it only allows to write down a certain number of characters.

      To end this story, starting in February 2024, the Vivint app stopped working on my smartphone... I contacted Vivint Customer Service and so far they haven't been able to solve anything, and the application still doesn't work for which I’m paying $34.06.


      They simply washed their hands and told me that I can't cancel because first I have to pay Fortiva in full for the devices in order to cancel, it is worth mentioning that Vivint is the one who sold me the service and made me invest in the security system with Fortiva.

      I'm not willing to continue doing my payments for a service I'm not using because simply it does not work as advertised by the sales guy.

      I have attached the email conversations I've had with Vivint and other proofs as pictures and videos of the issue with the app.

      This company should not be in business anymore.

      Thank you!

      I moved from ******* to ************ Dec 2022. I contacted Vivint after my move to request a deferment pending the sale of my home, but was told I could not request it, but my mother the account holder had to make the request. April 2023, I sell my ******* home, move all my things into storage, and I call Vivint to let them know I no longer live at this address and was in the process of buying a new home. The Vivint rep said call us when you move and we will transfer the account to your new home location. In October 2023, I move into my home and I have my account transferred to my new house. I receive all new Vivint equipment and sign new contracts, and I believe all is settled. March 2024, I notice that I am paying two bills to Vivint - for my new house and old house. I call Vivint with my mother to cancel the account and ******* said the cancellation team would reach out if a refund was due. Today, April 2, 2023 I am told that because my mother, who is not responsible for the bill, did not contact Vivint to close the account that no refund is due. I want my money back for the services I told the reps multiple times were not being used at the home I no longer owed returned to me immediately.

      This business is highly questionable based on my experience with them. I called to get a needs assessment to change my security service from the one i have. I spoke with a representative via phone and I was refused an in-person representative for assessment (their policy) while their competitors provide this service. He was attempting to get information from me, but im not an expert at security. I ended the call and said I may get back in touch, at which time it was apparent he wasnt happy with that. I then email him a detailed list of what i was looking to do. No response. I texted him finally and he said he was about to call me with an incomprehensible list. i asked that he email me the quote using the details i sent along with answers to the questions i posed. He never responded to my request for a quote. I then contacted the sales number again and asked for an email to send a complaint. They gave me an email which turned out to be bogus, returning the email i sent as not valid. This company, having had known unethical issues, continues to have very dubious business practices.

      We cancelled our service with Vivint on July 4, 2023 at the address *******************************. *****************. At that time we paid out the remainder of the equipment fees and closed our account. Everything was going fine until January of 2024 (6 months later), they began randomly billing our account again, so far for a total of ******. We have not been able to get them to honor the cancellation from July of 2023. We notified them we were selling the house in July of 2023 when we cancelled and it seems they are attempting to continue to try to bill us at that address.

      I signed up with vivint and was told I had 3 days to cancel if I changed my mind. I decided to cancel. The sales person that had originally contacted me is Justin N******. He began calling and texting me once he realized I would be canceling. I didn't answer because I didn't think he needed to be involved as i had already been helped. This morning he calls me, then proceeds to text me and I found it quite disturbing. I asked him to stop contacting me, but he continued. He took it personal that I had "gone behind his back" to cancel and he "hoped I got some good karma for wasting his and other people's time". I told him he was creeping me out, and not to contact me. His response was "hahaa or what?". I am a single woman with 2 children. I am now terrified because this strange man knows where I live, has my address and personal information, and is harassing me. I called your company and was told a complaint would be logged, and that I should "ignore him or block him so he wouldn't interrupt more important calls". I would like to know what is going to be done to protect me from this man. And I want to be refunded the installation fee he originally told me he had waived, but was then added to the total financing bill.

      We purchased a security system in 2017. We paid in full for equipment, never had a contract.
      On Sept 29, 2023, we sold our house. I called to cancel. They talked me into doing a ‘transfer’. I gave them the new homeowners name and contact info. They told me that’s all I had to do and the account would be transferred to the new owners.

      I was charged in Oct and Nov. Both months, the new homeowner and I had extensive conference calls with Vivint…each time they assured us the problem was fixed and I would not be charged anymore for a home I no longer owned. They even gave me a ‘credit’ for November….which ended up NOT being a refund, they just applied it back to that same account and it covered the Dec. payment!

      In January, my card was charged AGAIN! I called and this time had them completely remove my card from that account, considering it didn’t even belong to me!
      I have an email sent Jan 12, 2024 from Vivint stating they removed my card ending in **** and assured me it would not be charged again.
      Wellll…I was charged $128.28 in Feb and $57.14 in March. I called on March 12 and the Rep requested a refund after I read him the email Vivint sent saying my card had been removed. He agreed that it was illegal activity to continue charging me for someone else’s account. I had him email me the request along with the Case ID number. He also told me that somehow my name was still on the account!! What!?!? After 6 months of not owning the home and NUMEROUS hour+ phone calls???

      On March 26, I called back to check on refund. That Rep told me there wasn’t a request for that ID number! She told me there were more steps I had to take to get MY money back.
      I called April 1, and talked once again to another Rep. she also agreed that it was fraudulent to steal my money for someone else’s account. She said she did a refund request the correct way. She also gave me a Case ID number. She assured me she would call me back as soon as she had an answer.
      Shocker. No call. I’m done!!!!!

      My account with ********************** was cancelled in November 2022 due to a military move, and I settled all outstanding fees at that time, including a cancellation fee of $186.42. It seems there was an error, as this cancellation and the associated fee were not accurately reflected in your system. I'd also like to mention that I haven't resided at the property associated with the account for over a year now because of my military move. To my surprise, in June 2023, I was charged three times, totaling $206.42, and again in September 2023 with four charges amounting to $288.56. This brings the total to $494.98 in unauthorized charges. I am requesting a full refund of the previously mentioned amount, $494.98, as these charges were neither expected nor authorized and to finalize the cancelation of the account if that has not been done already. I have contacted vivint customer service several times between Sept 12 2023 and Apr 2 2024 about the refund. During the conversations with customer service they say that they are going to issue me a refund for the $494.98 within a few business days and nothing happens. The customer service also mention that delivery attempts of the refund were made, but to the old service address. After giving them my new address, still nothing. I was also told by them that issuing the refund back to a card would be the best way for me to get the refund, so I gave them my card info and still nothing. Im getting sick of calling the customer service and I dont think Im getting anywhere.

      After having service with Vivint for many years, I decided to cancel and find a different provider, as their costs were very high and updating the monitoring equipment was very expensive.

      I have attempted to contact them numerous times via phone and have either been placed on hold for at least 30-45 minutes at a time or hung up on. They do not have a way to cancel your service via phone or email, but rather require a written cancellation notice, and then it takes an extra 30 days upon receipt to cancel, forcing clients to pay additional months of service they do not want.

      When I try to call to speak to anyone at Vivint I am redirected and redirected without any solution or even questions answered. They are unethical in their practices, they force customers to remain paying clients and make it practically impossible to close out an account.

      My husband and I signed up for Vivint in 2021 mainly to provide security for my father who had Dementia so that my husband and I could monitor him. We bought all of the equipment outright, and were on a month to month contract. I called to cancel 10/2023 and was not charged again until 03/2024, when I was charged 4 times on the same date, after not having services! The total amount I was charged equaled the amount for 5 months of service, so they charged me for 5 months at once, 5 months AFTER I canceled their service! Terrible company, who also harassed my husband and I on a monthly (or more) basis in person and on the phone about solar panels even after they've been told multiple times we aren't interested (which is one reason that led us to cancel in the first place).

      I have had Vivint Home Security for approximately 10 years. I paid off all the equipment and the contract expired after 5 years, so no current contract. I pay $51.00 monthly and have paid religiously for the last 10 years. I no longer want the service and called Vivint on 2/23/24 to cancel the monthly service. An email arrived from them that day with instructions on what exactly to include in an email in order to cancel the service. I sent my email to them on 2/24/24. I never received an automatic response email so I emailed them again on 3/14/24, 3/15/24, 3/18/24, 3/19/24 and 3/21/24. I have heard nothing from them. I have called the customer service number twice (on 3/14/24 and 4/1/24) and they were both 1 hour phone calls with no resolution. They want me to screen shot my emails and send again. I have been a GOOD customer for 10 years and I can not believe what a TERRIBLE company they have turned out to be. They continue to bill me monthly and I suspect this is why they won't cancel my service. They want to keep billing me! This has to be the worst company I have ever done business with!
