    Scot ** so aggressive in pushing the issue when I decided to cancel before even signing my contract. He hung up on my daughter twice. Extremely unprofessional!!! My husband passed away right as we were finalizing my agreement and after speaking with my children whom I live with we agreed to not pursue this option at this time. Scot sounded so desperate. So embarrassing when these individuals should be accommodating our elders but instead desperate to lock us into an agreement on our fixed incomes. This is sad!!!! Shame on you Scot **

    Response from Life Alert

    Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. After a thorough review, we respectfully dispute the characterization of events presented in this complaint. As you know, you knowingly and willingly contacted Life Alert as a result of health concerns and living circumstances. You recognized the need for our lifesaving services, and all interactions with you were professional and pleasant. Unfortunately, when your daughter contacted us, she was furious that you had made a wise decision without consulting her, and her interaction with us was far from civil. She was verbally aggressive, screamed at our staff, and directed profanity and personal insults at our representative. The abusive nature of that call left our representative no choice but to disconnect. Please know, all of our calls are recorded for quality assurance, and we believe that no employee should be subjected to that level of mistreatment while performing their duties. We take complaints seriously when they are made in good faith – this one is not. Moving forward, if you decide to reinstate your account, we would be more than happy to provide you with our lifesaving services. Best Wishes, Life Alert

    My 84yr old mother had an emergency & could get to phone. She tried Life alert & was on hold for at least 15min. I found her when I got home & she was still on hold. I had to call 911 & ambulance came & took her to ER. She’s ok but she was so upset it didn’t work. She called & tried to cancel. The lady on phone showed no sympathy or compassion nor apologized for it not working or what she went through. Just kept saying, "You can’t cancel. You're in a 3 yr contract & we can send out new equipment."

    I got on phone & tried to explain my mother did not feel safe with life alert & was adamant about canceling. The lady told me same thing. She was locked in a 3 yr contract that was signed by my mother & management decision is to send out a new machine. That was her only choice. Only way out of contract is death or moving to nursing home. Decided to go with new equipment & gentlemen that we both spoke to was pleasant. Once you sign you are stuck & they know it. After checking around they are one of the most expensive.

    I would never recommend Life Alert! We had one instance where my mother-in-law fell. I needed help, pressed the button and never got a response. I was eventually able to get her up and she was okay but I should not have had to do it by myself. If this were the only problem we’ve had, I could overlook it but the problems with billing and lack of communication have led me to my review. We cancelled the service due to a move into assisted living. Life Alert arranged pickup of the equipment by UPS but the equipment never made it back to Life Alert. We have continued to be charged monthly and we have been told that will continue until UPS sends payment to cover the lost equipment. UPS is currently waiting on additional info from Life Alert to settle this claim.

    I have called multiple times and keep getting referred to a manager and she will not return my calls. We have now paid for 3 months of service that we are not getting. Life Alert arranged for the pickup and it was done as scheduled. This dispute is between Life Alert and UPS yet we are paying monthly for something we have absolutely no control over and we can’t get anybody on the phone at Life Alert other than customer service people who can’t do anything other than transfer us to a voicemail which never gets returned.

    Response from Life Alert

    Thank you for contacting us regarding your account. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation. When UPS picked up your equipment, it appears the shipment was lost in transit. Per our policy, all equipment must be confirmed as received before an account can be closed. Because we were unable to verify receipt of the equipment, your account remained active and billing continued in accordance with that policy. We want to assure you that this policy exists to protect both our customers and our company. Unfortunately, we do encounter situations where only partial equipment is returned, with some components having been discarded or misplaced before the return is made. Please know we are not suggesting this was the case with you — we are simply explaining why our policy requires all equipment to be received fully before an account can be cancelled. Our records show a representative reached out to you and a refund is being processed. Your account is now closed.
