RUN AWAY IF A SALES REP KNOCKS YOUR DOOR!!!!!!!…read more I was approached by a very pleasant Rrep from Vivint/Fortiva( their finance company Vivint uses) and was approved for ALL the equipment I wanted. They surprised me with same day service with 2 pieces of equipment being shipped in a few days. Installation went smoothly, installer was nice. The extra equipment arrived in timely manner. BUT 2 MONTHS LATER: I receive a past due bill for close to 1000 dollars. I was on autopay. So no late payments here. I called. It was for the amount OVER what Fortiva said my acct was allowed. AT NO TIME DID THE REP SAY THERE WOULD BE EXTRA CHARGES. AND WHY SEND ME ANYMORE EQUIPMENT IF SO???? This was supposed to be simple and now am told pay 3 times the original amount for 6 months or no service. I ask the rep at Vivint to check if the company would lower it and for a longer period, Julio ( sp) said he would call me, i waited a monthbtalked to a diff rep and she left a msg for him to call. NO CALLBACK. This when I receive a letter from a collection agency for almost double the owed amount. So now vivint wants me to pay a reactivation fee of over 600 dollars, and said the collection agency would be withdrawn. It is funny that my last statement had available credit from Fortiva, yet that balance wasnt never applied to it yet I was invited to buy something with my available credit...... So my advice, If you want Vivint: DON'T ALLOW THEM TO INSTALL UNTIL YOU HAVE CONFIRMATION ON THE CREDIT. AND dont fall for the " we are working in the neighborhood reason". I FEEL SO USED AND IN A SENSE, VIOLATED..... ( excuse any misspelling as my phone or Yelp, wont allow me to use my cursor to correct anything, Yelp? Is it you or my phone? Please answer that for me please. Thank you) Oh the equipment that was sent to me was never installed, I offered to send it back to lower the amount and Vivint REFUSED. Flat out said no. Now does that sound customer friendly????? SO NOW BECAUSE OF A SLICK TALKING SALES REP I NOT ONLY HAVE A SECURITY SYSTEM THAT WORKS BUT NO MONITORING SERVICE, I AM GOING TO HAVE A VIVINT AND/OR FORTIVA FORCED COLLECTIONS MARK ON MY CREDIT SCORE. I did just read an article where Vivint lost a 20 mol class action lawsuit for similar techniques. Just search it on Google.

Just in case you're ever wondering about security systems, Vivint is the worst. They will lie to…read moreyou, over charge, and then not back up what a rep has told you. My rep has refused to call me for a month and the national people are refusing to acknowledge anything my rep has said. I'm super pissed.

Annoying, persistent door to door sales. They rang my doorbell 3x Wednesday, 3x Thursday, and 2x…read moreFriday. They even ring it super late at night. See attached photo with time stamps of 9:00pm. So unbelievably aggravating and unprofessional. I have two dogs and this is driving me crazy. The 3rd time I answered the door I told them I wasn't interested. Idc if this is a good product or not this late at night door to door sales is so unprofessional.

I was genuinely excited to move forward with Vivint and have a home security system installed at my…read morepersonal residence. Unfortunately, that excitement quickly turned into disappointment due to misleading information, unexpected fees, and poor follow-through from customer support. My original quoted price and equipment package changed the moment the technician arrived for installation. On top of that, I was informed of additional fees that were never disclosed upfront--including an extra monthly charge for DVR services that had not been mentioned at any point prior. I was led to believe I was getting a complete system at the agreed-upon price, and that simply was not the case. Despite this, I gave Vivint a second chance. After speaking with multiple managers and account representatives, I specifically requested a clear, itemized breakdown of all equipment and costs before proceeding again. I was told this would be sent to me. It never was. Follow-up messages were left on read, with no response. That lack of transparency and accountability sealed the deal for me. If this is the level of communication and customer service provided before installation, I have serious concerns about what support would look like afterward--especially when it comes to something as important as home security! Very disappointing experience overall. Transparency and trust matter, and unfortunately, Vivint failed on both fronts.

I was disappointed when I first had my security system installed. I felt I was misled when…read morepurchasing it. I received a call today from the customer advocate team. I once again voiced my concerns and disappointment almost one month later. Thank you Fernando Llados Jr for finally hearing me and for making me feel like a valuable new customer and resolving my issues and concerns. I was ready to cancel and suffer the consequences before he called me. So I rescind my first review and will give 4 stars.

(1 Star) This has…read morebeen one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had with a security company. I signed up with ADT 11 months ago because I wanted a complete home security package, including cameras, alarm monitoring, and a smart keypad door lock that I could lock and unlock from my phone. Within just a couple of months, the smart lock stopped working properly. I could no longer control it from the app. At first, I considered it more of an inconvenience than a major issue, so I didn't immediately call to complain. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. Since becoming an ADT customer, I have spent countless hours on the phone with technical support trying to resolve the issue. ADT has replaced my keypad door lock five different times, and after all of those replacements, they still have no idea what is causing the problem. Instead of fixing the issue, their solution was to remove the lock from my system, give me a partial credit, and expect me to go purchase and install my own door lock--even though the lock was included as part of the package I originally purchased. I found that completely unacceptable. When I signed the agreement, I purchased a complete security system--not a partial one. I asked if I could cancel my service and move to a company that could provide a fully functioning system. I was told that because the rest of the equipment works, I would still be responsible for paying the remainder of my contract if I canceled. I even asked a hypothetical question: if my cameras stopped working and ADT couldn't fix them, but everything else still worked, would I still be required to continue paying under the contract? I was told yes. Unless the entire system stopped working, I would still be obligated to pay for service even if a major part of the system couldn't be repaired. To make matters worse, several technicians told me they would return on specific dates, but they never showed up. The only way I ever found out what was going on was by calling ADT myself. This ongoing issue has also cost me money. I've had to purchase multiple copies of keys because the locks kept failing. There were numerous times we simply left our doors unlocked because we were tired of buying new keys while waiting for another technician appointment. I also purchased batteries five or six different times, trying different brands because I was repeatedly told the batteries might be the problem, when in reality the issue was the defective lock. Now, after nearly a year of dealing with this, ADT expects me to research, purchase, and install my own replacement lock just so my family can safely secure our home. The final straw came when a representative asked whether I had already scheduled an appointment to have their lock removed. I explained that I wasn't going to schedule a removal until I had purchased a replacement lock because, based on my past experience, their technicians frequently failed to return when they said they would. I refuse to leave my family without a functioning lock because of ADT's repeated failures. I have been far more patient than most customers would have been. I've given ADT numerous opportunities to correct this issue over the past 11 months, but instead of providing a working solution, they've shifted the burden and expense onto me while continuing to hold me to a contract. If you're considering ADT because of their smart home features, my experience should serve as a warning. A security company should provide peace of mind--not months of frustration, wasted time, additional expenses, and a system that never works as promised.

I am so glad I found John Blair and Blair Garage Door. I had two openers installed recently and a…read moreservice call on an issue with another garage door and John's service and professionalism far exceeded my expectations. Timely, punctual,responsive, knowledgable and reasonably priced are just a few of the words I would use to describe my experiences with John. At a time when it is hard to find someone who takes pride in their service and interacts well with their clients this experience was a breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend Blair Garage Door.

The…read moreproblem turned out to be a wiring issue that I was eventually able to fix but in the meantime the workers were operating the door manually for a couple of weeks. This was quite a beating for the door and shortly after I got the opener working the door would not stay shut. I called a couple of the local companies and they couldn't come for days or even weeks. When I called Mr. Blair he promised to be there in a couple of hours. He arrived promptly at the promised time and quickly confirmed that the problem was the damaged threshold causing the force sensor to think an object was under the door. He replaced the threshold, adjusted and tightened the sensors, realigned both doors and lubed everything. All at a very reasonable price. I definitely recommend his services if you're having problems or need new doors or openers.
