    Just moving in. Still getting used to having my own. It's been good so far. I enjoy being in my own space. Love the big space. It's quiet around. No loud neighbors. Just ready to start my new beginnings in my new home.

    Ever since I got Vivint, I feel like Buddy the Elf personally watches over my home (minus the maple syrup spaghetti). The security cameras are so clear, I’m pretty sure I could spot Santa and all eight reindeer landing on my roof. If a raccoon even thinks about touching my trash can, Vivint sends me an alert faster than Buddy can yell “SANTA!!! I KNOW HIM!!!” Setup was smoother than sliding through the seven levels of the candy cane forest, through the sea of swirly-twirly gumdrops, and out the Lincoln Tunnel.

    I have been trying to cancel service for 3 to 5 months. I paid for all equipment. After no charges on account they said it take 3 days to cancel. NOT TRUE. They charged me again and do the same all over again. Think about it. Vivint security will change charge to keep your service to lower. Put me on hold another 4 more times and I specifically say I don’t want the service anymore. I bought a home and hoa comes with alarm system. I no longer have lived or used the home or system for 2 months but they kept a .01 cent charge on my account so that when I call in now the .01 became $_40.00 until I pay that then they will close it. I did pay the first time but I no longer will pay charges for keeping me hostage with a company that force you to continue the services.

    I sent an email. Called in. Ask to be sent to supervisors and waited 1. hour for supervisor and then disconnected. 2 hours or more on calls to disconnect services. I called. They again said call loyalty program. They can help. He was going to credit the $78. 00 because I said I left system then I was told for me to get new homeowners to get the services connected and when I said no they said, I have to then pay the balance $78.00. When they have documents that it has been 5 months trying to cancel their service. This is unbelievable how these companies are allowed to operate like this.

    Issac came to our home today for our alarm installation and education. Issac was very professional and courteous. Issac's installation was very seamless. You can't hardly see any wires or signs of his visit to our home. Issac finished in a relatively short period of time and then proceeded to explain how to use the system. Issac made the process very simple and pleasant. Issac also shared other options for my family to save money.

    Citizens of El Paso TX please be aware of this Darrian ** or any one from Vivint who doesn’t send you a text message to authorize and accept the charges for their security system, he harrass people until you accept to talk to him and tell you a buchn of lies just to get your account and if you missing some equipment or you don’t agree with the prices or the bill, he stopped answering your calls or text messages, he offers you a one free month on my case. He told me 3 months and because he just asked you to sign electronically whatever he don’t explain to you what it is. You can’t see that you only have 3 days to cancel if you're not happy with the bullshit he said or sell you.

    And when you call Vivint is nothing they can do since you signed something that you don’t know since he is always in a hurry and tell you I will send you the papers later. Remember Darrian ** or a Bustamante contractor is better to call Vivint and they will send you someone who go through with everything and it would be your choice to say yes or not.

    My installer was AMAZING!! He gave me options and was honest about the install. I didn't think about the stoneface on the outside of my house and he told me there wouldn't be a way to connect the doorbell properly. Most people these days would have tried and jacked up the wall. Instead we swapped out for another camera. He also made sure the cameras were facing how I wanted them and showed me how to set the boundaries so that it doesn't go off with every car passing. He made sure everything worked as it should and answered all my questions. Showed me how to set and change everything as well. Very friendly even when he was having a couple issues.

Got the system back up and running properly and walk Me step through step on how to use. The equipment was very friendly professional. Would definitely recommend this company for anybody wanting to get a home security system. Very easy to use. Self-explanatory. Their employees were very easy to work with.

    First I want to tell you about the technician! If I could give 100 stars, Greggory ** made my experience so awesome. He arrived on time to an AM APPOINTMENT. He explained service in great detail. Even though I was a little he patiently waited without being rude. Gregory treated me like I arrived at the same time. I loved his customer service. Very polite! The install was quick and thorough…. For a single lady he made me feel safe on using the equipment in an emergency. I had ADT before and Vivint gives you so much bang for your buck and so many added features.

    Loyal 5-year customer relocated from Texas to NH. Vivint cannot service my new address but attempted to charge $1,500+ early termination for a contract I never signed. Supervisor agreed this was unreasonable and personally promised account closure at zero cost. Promise was not honored. Two months later: late notices. Three months later: collections agency demanding more than originally stated. Made 15+ attempts to resolve via their calls (each putting me on 30+ min hold) and my own calls (30-45 min waits). Never resolved. Referred 10+ customers over the years. This is inexcusable treatment. Company does not stand behind supervisor promises.
