This experience has been nothing short of disappointing and distressing.In hopes of feeling more secure in our new home, we decided to invest in Vivint's security system (window sensors, smoke detectors, and cameras). Instead of providing peace of mind, the company has caused us significant anxiety and distress due to multiple false alarms, camera issues, and overall poor service.During the installation process, technicians needed to run cables through our walls to set up the cameras. While we understood the necessity of this step, the incomplete work left our family room looking horrible. Despite promises from the technicians to return and complete the job, it took multiple complaints and the involvement of four sales representatives before someone finally addressed the issue months after the fact. Our troubles with Vivint only worsened when we experienced false alarms in the middle of the night. The first time, customer service took a long time resolve the issue, and improper rebooting led to additional problems with our A/C and panel. The second false alarm resulted in firefighters coming to our home due to a (apparently) a "faulty" smoke detector. Our expectations of a reliable security system have been shattered, and instead of feeling safer, we now experience heightened anxiety and fear due to the unreliability of Vivint's equipment and services. We have been patient and vocal about our concerns for way too long.At this point, we do not seek discounts, free equipment, or temporary solutions. What we truly desire is to regain our sense of security and peace of mind. We urge Vivint to take immediate action to rectify the situation because we cannot continue to live in fear and uncertainty due to the incompetence and negligence of the company.Business Response

In October 2023 I contacted Vivint requesting cancellation of my monthly service. I was told via phone they needed to transfer me to cancellation which they did. I then waited to speak to someone who told me I had many options to not cancel. I told them I needed to cancel as I know longer live on the property and will not be moving the service. They told me the could cancel because of the move. I received another bill and called again. Then they told me no problem they would initiate the cancel. Another month passes and I am billed again. At this point they tell me I needed to pay off the equipment contract loan (why wasn't this stated in the initial call??) I did that and they stated it was confirmed and cancelled. I am billed yet again and I call and they tell me they confirmed my equipment loan is paid but now I need to submit an email to cancel. I respond to the email they sent with my name, service address, and cancellation reason (same things already provided multiple times via phone). They tell me the cancellation is complete. I am now receiving calls saying I have to pay the bill back through November even though they told me again and again the service was cancelled. I told them I would not pay because I had initiated the cancellation and paid off the equipment. I was told they would take those charges off my bill. However, they have not and are now threatening me with collections and saying my account is still not cancelled and won't be cancelled until I pay for charges that I did not authorize because I was told my service was cancelled. They tell you your cancellation request is complete only to bill you another month and tell you something else you have to do to cancel. Then they will continue adding things you must do to cancel. This company is a total scam and totally refuses to allow cancellation as required per the contract. Not to mention, my equipment was constantly not working and they can only fix it if I pay ANOTHER fee. Completely predatory!Business Response

On January 25th 2024 a salesperson for ******* stopped at my home selling the smart home services. I thought it seemed to be a good product and decided to purchase it. The installer came the same day and stated to me that the camera I was purchasing was unable to be installed due to the height of my roof not being high enough. At that moment I told him I no longer wanted the product since that camera was the main reason for my purchase. I called the sales rep that was in my house and stated I wanted to cancel. He of course tried talking me into meeting with him again to go over everything again the next day. I called Vivint on 1/26/24 and spoke with a representative to official cancel my service. There were no devices set up at my house so there was no issues canceling at least I thought. They took money from my account on 1/25/24 in the amount of *****. I was told on my phone call that this money would be refunded. I called back 2/23/24 and spoke with another representative that stated my account was still trying to be closed. I am a little confused on what needs to be closed still when I had no account to begin with since nothing was ever officially installed. It is now March 5th and I still have not received my refund for an account that was never officially open. All I ask is for my refund back.Business Response

In January of 2024. I made the decision to go with vivint for security cameras and alarm system. I was iffy about it as the salesmen seemed to be a bit pushy. Of course the salesman hid all the fees and the pricing of the actual equipment. He also informed that i would only take a soft check on my credit which was not the case. The installer came 20 minutes after the salesman left and did a horrible job. Damaged my door way and my outlets. Now to the real concern the cameras all have issues, they always say they are offline. When the alarm is set entry to my house is still happening and the alarm is not going off and alerting us. When alarm is set in stay mode I am able to open and close a window and doors and not get notified nor does the alarm trigger. I contacted cancellation department numerous times . Even after a break in the system did not alert or pickup any video feed because the system was frozen and offline. Vivint loyalty was to email me back to help with cancellation and of course ghosted me. This is a horrible company and will not stand by their cheap products they sell. I never had this issue with a simple ring doorbell. Stay away from this company. All this company cares about is their paycheckBusiness Response

Vivint technician arrived and installed equipment which included sensors, cameras and monitors, two of the sensors fell and broke in January, they were never replaced. Vivint said I would have to pay for new sensors even though they clearly were not installed properly. Camera fell down as well. The equipment does not work and the service is even worse. I was told that I could have a month to month contract, paying approximately $50 a month, the technician made me e-sign various documents that I had no time to read, the charges ended up being $120 and they fraudulently are attempting to lock me into paying them $4,000 over several years for defective equipment and service with Citizen Pay,. Their customer service representatives are all programmed to never allow a cancellation and calling is a waste of time. Although notice of cancellation was sent to both Vivint and Citizen Pay both are refusing to cancel. The next step will be a lawsuit against both companies for fraudulent business practices and fraudulent products and servicesBusiness 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.
