    There’s a lot of hidden information about this service that we didn’t discuss. I hope I can afford it for 60 months. Please be more upfront about the service with customers and let them decide if they would like to go forward or not. One thing I’m talking about is a service fee. When the technician came out, I definitely wasn’t aware of that. The other thing was if she would have ask me did I wanted to rent the equipment or buy it, it would have made me more happy.

    I was promised a full buyout for ADT by Vivint. I was also sold a bill of goods that Vivint does all of their own legwork. When I discovered the buyout amount did not pay off ADT I spent hours on the phone to get this rectified. When I switched internet providers in the same month as the new system. Again, all the leg work was done by me. When the card that was sent to me to pay off a ADT the responsibility was placed upon me again. I had to call Vivint several times. Then they sent me to the card company, which could not help me. I attempted several times to run the card with ADT. This did not work. PLEASE DO NOT USE VIVINT. THEY ONLY PASSED THE BUCK IS MY EXPERIENCE.

    Reviewed Sept. 28, 2026

    I am writing to formally complain about my recent experience with a Vivint sales representative and the manner in which my account was sold and installed. A Vivint salesperson came to my home despite a clearly posted "No Soliciting" sign. During our conversation, I advised him that I was an existing ADT customer and was not actively seeking a new security provider. The representative nevertheless proceeded with a sales presentation and made specific representations that ultimately caused me to agree to switch services.

    Most importantly, I was repeatedly told that Vivint would cover the cost of the equipment and pay off my ADT contract. I was informed that my participation would involve displaying a Vivint yard sign, recommending the service to others, and becoming a Vivint customer. At no point during the sales discussion was I informed that I would be required to finance the equipment through a third-party lender or incur thousands of dollars in new debt.

    During the sales process, I was required to unfreeze my Equifax credit report and authorize a credit inquiry. I specifically expressed concern and irritation regarding the credit inquiry because utilities and service providers often perform credit checks without creating the type of inquiry that impacts a consumer's credit profile. The salesperson acknowledged my concern and apologized but never disclosed that I was being evaluated for financing or that I would ultimately be entering into a loan agreement.

    The same day, installers arrived and completed the installation. Because I was unaware that installation would occur immediately, I had to rearrange my entire day to accommodate the work being performed. Only near the completion of the installation process was I presented with documentation indicating that I was expected to agree to a financing arrangement through Fortiva in excess of $4,000. This was the first time anyone associated with Vivint informed me that the equipment was not being "covered" by Vivint and that I would instead be personally responsible for financing it.

    When I questioned the installer, I was informed that the financing was for the equipment. By that point, the system had already been installed, and my day had already been consumed by the installation process. The installers were not responsible for the sales representations and were unable to address my concerns. Had I been truthfully informed at the outset that: A hard credit inquiry would be performed; I would be applying for financing; I would incur a new debt obligation through Fortiva; The equipment was not actually being covered by Vivint; I would not have agreed to switch providers.

    My decision to leave ADT and enter into an agreement with Vivint was based upon the representations made by your salesperson. Those representations materially differed from the transaction ultimately presented to me. As a consumer, I believe I was deprived of the opportunity to make an informed decision because critical information regarding financing and debt was withheld until after installation was substantially complete. This creates the appearance of a sales process designed to obtain agreement first and disclose material financing obligations later.

    I was told I can test the system out for 3 days and after that you can call and cancel. I was so pressured into getting the system, I told the guy sales rep that I don't own this house and I'm moving soon. He say ok you can cancel in 3 days just help him out. He said everything is wireless, he set up automatic pay without my permission. On the 3rd day I called, they were closed it was the weekend, wasn't informed of that. So I said Monday I'll call back, I did and the guy say he don't got my records of me calling in, which was a lie. He put me on hold for an hour, and the come back to the phone and tell me I can't cancel because he can't find it where I called in. But I got the recording and the phone timestamp. Vivint is a scam! They still tryna charge me and haven't came to pick up their equipment that I uninstalled on the 3rd day.

    Negative Stars! Horrible company! As a Vivint customer since 2017, I can say that my experience with their customer service has been extremely disappointing. What should be a straightforward service issue routinely turns into hours of waiting, being transferred between departments, and speaking with “specialists” who often seem to have little authority or ability to actually resolve the problem. The customer service experience has become especially frustrating with the heavy reliance on scripted AI responses. Instead of receiving knowledgeable, personalized assistance, customers are often left repeating the same information and being passed around without a meaningful resolution. Requesting a manager does not necessarily improve the situation.

    Unfortunately, my problems have extended beyond customer service. During installation, I experienced damage to doors and other property, along with workmanship that was far below what I expected. When equipment later required attention, I was directed through remote diagnostics, only to have a technician arrive without the necessary hardware to complete the repair. Despite having a service plan, I was also given explanations about what was and was not covered that added to the frustration.

    After years of loyalty, I expected better treatment—not higher prices, outdated equipment, unresolved service issues, and a tremendous amount of time and energy spent trying to get basic problems addressed. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering Vivint to thoroughly research the installation process, equipment coverage, pricing, and customer-service experience before committing. My experience has been overwhelmingly negative, and I regret the amount of time, money, and frustration I have invested in this company. AVOID VIVINT AT ANY COST!

    I have been a customer of Vivint for 12 years. I contacted them an effort to upgrade my security equipment. I scheduled the appointment at technician arrived, and he said that my system was so old that the people in the back office were unable to upgrade the equipment on the account so he opted for them to open me a new account and what would be considered a second account and told me that after an equipment was installed to just reach back out to the to the to a number and they would void cancel the old account. A later her contacted the office as well as the technician because I was told that I couldn’t cancel the old account which left me with two open accounts at the same address one account with no equipment.

    It took me over a month to be able to make direct contact with an individual as a technician stop responding as I called the back office or customer service I was rerouted offshore multiple times with someone who couldn’t understand what I was asking or when I would ask, they would try to upsell me and tell me that it would be best to keep both accounts. Nothing about this made any sense as I did not need two accounts at the same address where one was old and had no equipment attached to it after about a month. I finally reached a representative that was willing to help me. She assured me that she will. She was in in the states and that she will contact me back within 24 hours to this day, which has been two months later she has never made the right contact with me. I asked her did she have a direct phone number in which I could reach her back because she assured me she would assist me and she told me she didn’t have a direct contact.

    I need to found an email and was able to reach her by email, but again to this day, she still has not contacted me back. I’m hoping that my account is resolved, but I don’t know. I have also asked to add another piece of equipment. No one has responded to that either I have used the chat feature I have used the customer service line. I have used the technician who called it came to install as well as the representative. Who assured me she would assist. I was told that all I need to do is this that or the third contact this person of that person and it was simply be resolved. Two months later it’s still unresolved so no I would never recommend Vivint to anyone as this experience has been a nightmare. Extremely stressful. Has led me to multiple hours on the phone to being up sold for something that was a representative error. I have asked for management. I have asked for additional support. I have asked for multiple things in us again no response or no resolve.

    ​I had a Vivint system installed, which included an extended warranty, expecting home security and peace of mind. Instead, it has been a continuous, exhausting headache. ​Critical Equipment & Safety Failures: Major Security Risk: My front door lock (connected to the Vivint panel) suddenly unlocked itself in the middle of the night without any trigger. Waking up to an open front door completely defeats the purpose of having a home security system and creates an unacceptable safety hazard.

    ​Persistent False Alarms: The system routinely triggers false alarms during the night, constantly disrupting our sleep. Faulty equipment includes water leak sensors, glass break detectors, outdoor cameras, and the firefighter alarm module. ​Excessive Fees & Poor Customer Service: Diagnostic Fees for Faulty Equipment: Despite the system being newly installed and covered under an extended warranty, Vivint charges a $99 technician fee every time someone comes out to troubleshoot their defective equipment. ​Support Goes in Circles: Customer service offers no real resolution. Instead of taking the time to address ongoing technical defects, representatives continuously try to upsell new products and equipment.

Which could have been good review for them until they destroyed it today. I have been paying $9.99 EVERY MONTH for their tech pro plan and NEVER used it. I am switching internet providers and I finally had the time to call them so the tech could come in and switch providers on my security devices. I was told I have to do THEIR JOB THAT I'VE BEEN PAYING THEM FOR IN THE LAST 1 YEAR. I had to follow their troubleshooting instructions first (wasting my own time) then if it doesn't work, they'll finally send a technician.

    I did the job myself, got an error message, and I was still requesting a technician. They told me I will be charged $99 (what and why then am I paying $9.99 for). I regret leaving ADT because, even though they are more expensive, ADT NEVER asked me to do their job while I still continued to pay them. If there was ZERO STAR, that's what VIVINT will get.

    I would NEVER recommend Vivint to anyone. Everyone should stay far away from this company. In June 2025, I moved into a home that already had Vivint equipment installed, including cameras, window sensors, smoke detectors, and a Vivint hub. I contacted Vivint to inquire about the system and ultimately signed up for their security service for $69/month. In June 2026, after completing my one-year contract, I decided Vivint was no longer worth the cost. I already had a Ring security system from my previous home that was significantly more affordable, and I simply could not justify continuing to pay $69/month.

    I called Vivint to cancel. I specifically told the representative that I could not afford the system and wanted to cancel. Instead of processing my cancellation, the representative asked me, “How much can you afford a month?” I said $20, assuming they would tell me that amount wasn’t possible. To my surprise, she offered me $24.99/month if I signed another contract. She also offered me a two-month credit on my account. Based on that offer, I agreed to continue. In July 2026, I received a bill for $69. I immediately called Vivint and explained that my bill was supposed to be $24.99 and that I had been given two months of credit, meaning I should not have had to pay anything until August. The representative apologized and told me that the $24.99 rate had never been activated on my account. He said he would activate it and gave me another month of credit, telling me that I would not owe anything until September 2026.

    Fast forward to September 2026: I received a bill for $109. I called Vivint again and explained the entire situation. This time, I was told that the representative who offered me the $24.99 monthly rate had been terminated from the company, and therefore Vivint would not honor the rate she offered me. I was then transferred from representative to representative—probably at least 15 times. Every person seemed to have a different offer. One offered me a $15 monthly credit off the $69 bill. Another offered me a free outdoor camera, but then wanted to run my credit for a camera they were supposedly giving me for free. Other offers required me to agree to another 16-month or 24-month contract.

    I repeatedly explained the same thing: I did not want another deal. I did not want another contract. I wanted to cancel unless they were willing to honor the $24.99 monthly rate that their representative had offered me in June 2026. Eventually, one representative told me he had spoken with “higher-ups” about honoring the $24.99 rate. He said he could actually see the notes showing that the June 2026 representative had offered me the $24.99 rate, and he agreed that it was unfair that Vivint was refusing to honor it. He told me he would cancel my account, waive the $109 balance that I should never have owed, and process my cancellation. I received an email confirming that the cancellation was in process.

    Then, the very next day, I received a phone call from Vivint’s billing department telling me that my account was past due. I called again and explained everything. That representative told me the $109 would be removed within 24–48 hours and that my cancellation was still being processed. Two days later, I received another call from Vivint billing demanding payment of the $109. I called again and spent over an hour going in circles with another representative. He admitted that he could see the notes showing that the representative in June 2026 had offered me $24.99/month for an entire year. He could also see the notes from my September calls where two different representatives had told me the $109 would be waived.

    Despite being able to see all of this, he told me that I had been “misinformed,” that Vivint would not honor what their representatives had promised me, and that I would have to pay the $109 before my cancellation could be completed. After more than an hour on the phone, he hung up on me. At this point, I am done wasting my time calling Vivint. This experience has been absolutely exhausting and incredibly frustrating. My biggest issue isn’t even the $109. It’s the way this company handled the situation. I was repeatedly transferred, repeatedly given different offers, repeatedly encouraged to sign new contracts, and repeatedly told different things by different representatives. Even after representatives acknowledged that the $24.99 offer was documented in my account notes, Vivint still refused to honor it.

    It feels like the strategy is to keep transferring customers, putting them on hold, offering different deals and contracts, and exhausting them until they finally give up. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and documenting this experience on every review platform available to me. I have gone back to using my Ring system, and after this experience, I will be very hesitant to ever use Vivint again. Save yourself the headache. I would strongly recommend researching other options before signing a contract with Vivint. I sincerely hope Vivint takes a serious look at how these cancellation and billing situations are being handled, because based on my experience, this is not how customers should be treated.

This is deceptive lending and consumer fraud. The Vivint sales representative (Max, if this is his real name) explicitly lied about the credit check, stating it was only 'to see if we could afford it.' Instead, they used my information without my informed consent to open a multi-year equipment finance loan.

Anytime the cameras go out they send you to the billing department. There is no tech-support on here that will help you with anything aside from billing. They’ve ruined my credit score. They said that it was so much per month then sold me up, charge me and then reported me to the credit bureau, although I am on automatic payments, which means that they’re getting their payment every month on time, but they want more because their plan only covers so much. I would never use the service.

    I am going to pay it off in the next 30 days completely so that I can cancel service once I have the equipment paid off because they are not worth my money or my time. The cameras never worked.

    I would give a zero if I could. We had Vivint since 2016. When our cameras stopped working, we called them to see if we would be able to upgrade them. They wanted to charge us over $1,000 for 2 cameras! They also wanted to increase our monthly payment. That was a year ago (2025) so we just kept rebooting the cameras. We finally decided to go with ADT. We had them come out and install our new system and called vivint to cancel. We were on the phone with them for a total of 2 hours, got hung up on twice, and they kept trying to offering us a deal. We told them no. We want to cancel we already have another system. Finally they told us that they will give it to their "review team" to see why we want to cancel and if they feel we have a valid reason, THEN they'll cancel. If not, they will continue to bill us. So I had to call our bank and put a stop payment on the account. Completely ridiculous.

    The equipment is top of the line. Very easy to maneuver thru. My technician on the other hand needs an attitude adjustment. Everyone is talked to on the phone on scheduling all of it was a great experience but the technician that installed rushed thru and I really didn't get much training on the operation part. But I highly recommend the service. It's good quality

    The panel and sensors were located in a used home purchased. The panel had access to a doorbell and one other camera. I was not paying for service. I wanted to add 3 additional cameras but was unable without service. So, I agreed to 1 year of paid service. The technical team was unable to help with camera installation problems and I was directed to a more specialized Vivint team. Cameras were eventually operational. The panel has a voice notification when any exterior door opens and the voice was pleasant. Suddenly the voice changed to an irritating voice.

    I called to ask why. Their best guess was a system update. But, they could not verify their own update nor make a correction. After the required year of contract service, I called to cancel as I had originally intended. I would like to add here that during the year of service, I never used any functionality of the paid service beyond what I used without service. Simply stated, I can go to the panel and view the camera's field of vision. But, I never utilized an alarm setting, emergency services or other options available with the system as I never wanted them in the first place.

    I canceled service in June. In September I noticed that Vivint was still billing me. I had been informed that the cancelation would take a full billing cycle but had failed to notice that they continued to bill me for 4 months. I had a 1 year contract. At the end of 1 year the contract should be void and cancelation should be simple. But, I accepted that there is a 30 day policy. But, here is the main thrust of my complaint. My call to cancel service lasted over 35 minutes! During which I was constantly bombarded with a never ending sales pitch, offers, discounts, double talk, rewards, and a simple mental wear down game aimed at psychologically wearing you down to the point that you will accept any offer they make just to end the call. I got angry. I forced the cancelation only to passed to a supervisor who started the whole routine of begging, pleading and conniving all over again. I was furious.

    I repeatedly squashed their attempts to retain me as a customer. I began to repeat, "Cancel my service, cancel my service, cancel my service, cancel my service"!!! Only to hear "We understand you want to cancel but, we want to offer you our best possible deal first". Finally I I was forceful enough to get the lady to admit that this behavior was standard practice at vivint. She was not allowed to simply let me cancel. Finally after 35 minutes, the cancelation agreement was verbally read aloud to me.

    4 months later, I'm still being billed and have currently been on the phone with vivint customer service for 36 minutes and 56 seconds. At the 5 minute mark there was verbal confirmation given that they did indeed agree to cancelation in June, but they would need to "escalate" this to a supervisor to correct the non-stoppage of payments taken from my account. Now in the following 30+ minutes waiting for the phantom supervisor guess what I've had to endure??? Yep! 30+ minutes of sales pitch, offer, equipment upgrades, promises and shameless begging! Now at the 45 minute mark I am still being told we are very close to getting a supervisor on the line. My expectation...at some point the call will "accidentally" drop forcing me to endure the pre-designed HELL all over again.

    We had a great experience with Vivint from start to finish. The installer came out and did an excellent job getting all of our new security equipment installed, set up, and working properly. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through everything and make sure we understood how it all worked. The entire installation process was smooth and easy, and everything looks clean and works great. We’re very happy with the system so far and definitely appreciate the great service. Highly recommend Vivint!

    Very easy process from purchase to use. Sale personnel are well trained in the art of closing, to a fault even. Installation was smooth and incredibly professional! The user training was great and left us with no questions. The overall price of equipment leaves to be desired. $4000 for the equipment (2 outdoor cameras with spotlights, front doorbell camera, and 3 door/window sensors, as well as control pad) seems a bit high with recent camera prices dropping steeply. Overall so far we’re happy.

    Our experience with Vivint was very good. And the technician Joshua was very, very professional, and explained everything to us. The new equipment also looks very nice. It seems easy enough to use. We had living before at another state and the last company that we had, or I should say, the last 2 companies we had. We're very sub, par, and it's very refreshing to have vivid back. I would recommend this company to anybody. That's looking for a home protection system.

    I am an Alzheimer's Widow...my husband of 36 years is now in Memory Care. Thus, I live alone. I am on a VERY limited income, which I related to the sales rep. He worked it out so that I have security and monitoring, top-of-the-line, that, with a little give-and-take in my budget, I can afford Vivint. So many people recommended I buy a gun, or booby-trap my back door to feel safer. This is better, I am sure.

    I have had issues with Vivint showing up to my house multiple times in one day. One time they walked around to my backyard when they heard my small children outside playing. This is unacceptable and I have called and complained about them multiple times. Had a representative come 3 times today and the 3rd time I happen to be home, answered the door immediately said no thank you I’m not interested, yet he continued to try and sell me the product. I had to tell him multiple times I was not interested and shut the door.
