Ibrahim Ali

My experience with your company is the worst I have ever had in my life. Tried to cancel the service and they told me that rep didn't remember giving me 2 moths trial before I cancel without a penality. we would never signed up without the two months warranty to try it out because their product and customer service sucks!!! rude!! . After going to tens of phone calls and threating to sue them they decided to cancel for me but its been over 6 months and they still haven't refunded us the fees they have charged. We keep calling and they say the check in on the way and we never received it.

Have had vivant for a year now, system still doesn't work. We have had problems from day 1. We were lied to about price, it cost double what we were told. Have had technicians come out 3 different times and still can't get the system to work, The thermostat randomly change to 40 degrees or 99 degrees. No one can figure out why. The smoke alarms and window alarms go offline randomly. buyers please beware. Vivint is horrible .

Just tried to cancel our service and was told that the rep "didn't remember" what he had said to us about having 1 year to cancel without penalty. We never would have signed without that guarantee. Now we learn that without that in writing (everything was done on the rep's tablet and we didn't even get a copy) that we are locked in for 5 years or payout of almost $4000. We want to cancel because the equipment doesn't work (cameras don't record, app doesn't work, garage door opener doesn't work, etc). Totally effed over by Vivint.

Service stops working once a week and is only fixed after we house them. Completely useless on the phone, but respond well online. We've had all kinds of issues and have only had the system for 4 months. Equipment falling off the wall, buggy app, wall display freezes, modem won't reboot, shutdown, or arm. A whole range of things! We are stuck with this awful system and the second we're free, I'm junking every bit of it. Wish I had gone with ANYONE else. Save yourself the time, stress, and money.

I got talked into switching to Vivint from adt by Nathan L. He told me Vivint will completely buyout my contract. Come to find out they only offer up to $500 and must be completed within 60 days. I have similar problems with the Vivint panel loosing connection.

The absolute worst customer service imaginable! Multiple issues with equipment had to be resolved. Multiple "outages" had to be resolved. Prices were changed without authorization. Customer service only responded when I got the attorney general office involved...twice! And customer service will argue with you as if you are at fault when their equipment fails. I wouldnt wish this company on anyone.

Worst experience ever!!! We started early am with one installer who was very nice but very inexperienced. A second installer arrived to assist who was also inexperienced followed by a third and left the job unfinished and poorly installed. After spending 12hours at our home. We were told that the next available appointment would be the following week to complete the job. We are very unhappy and problems unresolved.

Do not get this service! Vivint does not take accountability for the failure of their product. I have spent a lot of hours these past 4 years either with no service or on a never- ending phone troubleshooting call with a tech. The system seemed to work perfectly for the first 6 months. After that I was doing fantastic if the system would even function at a low level for 2 weeks. I am not exaggerating with the numbers. Other people in various locations have told me of similar experiences. DO NOT ENTER A CONTRACT WITH VIVINT!!! (Unless you enjoy taking a loss.)

Vivint is a complete scam. Do not fall for their cheap alarm system and empty promises. Their Customer Care is less than desirable. If I could give less than a 1 star I would. They originally were suppose to install my system and never showed. Then when they sent someone it took them 8 hours to install a security system. The system is inferior and overpriced. And they are constantly asking you to refer to friends and family which is never going to happen.

This is the worst company on the planet. I was rushed into taking their service on the heels the passing of my mom and me in the hospital. MY MISTAKE I have not been covered for at least 6 mos all systems are offline/low battery, I have replaced batteries weekly. I have already paid $2500 and to get out of the contract I have to pay $1400. Can anyone say over priced. I sure hope nothing happens to my home or Vivint will here from my attorney

This service suck! The cameras go offline often, the sky control panel locks up as well. Whenever I see suspicious activities guess what...the camera goes offline! Complete shame...at least I bought the equipment so it’s time to cancel. My neighbors have cameras that are trained on part of my property so I’ll trust theirs. I’ve been had...oh well!

Sales rep was incredibly confrontational, i told him we were not interested, he then wanted to speak to someone else in the home and wanted our names. Imagine that, he knocks on OUR homes door, and like a manchild flips out that he’s not getting his way. Told him to leave flatly, and eventually he did after a few times. You know a company is bad when nearly all the 5 star reviews call out the 1 star ones. Talk about being a shill.

I wish I had read these reviews before I upgraded to their new system. This company is the absolute worst in the business. Their equipment is expensive and doesn't work half the time. I can't wait to get rid of this company. I was a loyal customer for years, but they are not loyal to you. It is just ridiculous how they are allowed to scam their own customers.

I would give a zero if I could!! Worst experience ever!! After the “sale” 3 missed appointments for the install. Techs run their own show and the customer service/ company in general have no control over who is coming in your home or when. Each missed appointment has just been a waste of time!! DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO TOUCH ANYTHING IM YOUR HOMW OR WASTE YOUR TIME!! The Better Business Bureau has been contacted and this is the norm for this company. Check the BBB before agreeing to service!

I have had this system for one year and I've had them out about seven times. they lie about everything and the equipment is very cheap and won't keep working. The people on the phone are very rude and take it personally when you expect it to work right. When they can't fix it or solve your problem, they simply hang up on you. Don't use this company, it's a scam. BUYER BEWARE!!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!

I’ve had Vivint for about a week now and it’s the absolute worst thing ever. Camera sensors go off for bugs or cats even the slightest movement and the system goes insane. They took my information and took it upon themselves to put a credit card in my name to pay for the equipment and now expect me to pay the monthly bill AND the credit card fee that I didn’t ask for. System constantly goes offline at random moments. Absolutely ridiculous I wouldn’t waste your time with this company at all.

Terrible alarm system! Peace of mind for your home? it’s a joke!! The system has so many uncountable issue, mal functions, and representatives that will hide fees and sign you up with no ethic. I keep wanting to cancel the contract but I’m stuck with a fake renewal agreement! That, I never agreed to!. Now I’m actually requesting them to listen to the recorded conversation for them to valid my statement and disconnect the system! If your reading this review. Please be careful signing up with this alarm system. Do your research before you agree to sign up with them.

to be honest I have little to no confidence in Vivint Home security - I have had a number of issues with the front doorbell being off line during major incidents - so when you really need it to function it doesn’t work - They are telling me it doesn’t work because of a screw - to me that is faulty design and not something I can not stand behind. After the holidays I will look into the cost of cancelling my Vivint Home security. With the numerous problems in equipment and customer services issues I can't imagine any one buying into Vivint

Don't get Vivint! Besides all the problems with canceling service and poor service, your house will not even be safe. I deleted a person who could use his phone app to disarm the alarm. After he stole from our home, he was asked to leave. We changed the pin and deleted his name from the account. A couple of weeks later, he showed me he could disarm the system by going to his phone and change the armed status to disarm without even putting in a pin number. I explained this to a customer supervisor, but she never e-mail me back.

I am very disappointed in vivint. I recently started a dispute in reference to a false alarm and the rep insisted on sending out a technician. Well he stated that the box was the issue he some work on the box and left. Well they sent me a response stating they are not at fault. I dont think I should be held accountable for something out of my control along with not being informed that I needed a permit.

I've had numerous failures of the equipment and Vivint wants to charge me to come fix anything. I tried to cancel and they were happy to oblige . . . as long as I paid the remaining time on my contract up front. When I told them I would never renew the service, they said I would have to call back when the contract was up in order to cancel. Getting through the phone tree was time-consuming to say the least. Would never get Vivint again ... not even for my green house. and I still have a bit less than a year to go on the contract.

I wouldn't even give them one star. They ripped me off badly and fraudulently signed my name to a 5 year contract. They are me over 1750.00 and they keep saying it was processed. The money still hasn't shown up in my account. At this point, I may have to take legal action and start a claim for signing a contract. I didn't find out until I called to see when my contract was up. They investigated and found out it was signed fraudulent and now have given me alot of issues .

Do not do it worst company ever. Empty promises - equipment does not work right - customer service nightmare. The worst sales rep I have ever dealt with in my life. Recently had our front door replaced - there was hole for dead bolt yet. Rep came to sell system told us he would look after all this - signed up and never heard from rep again - so security lock is on front desk and no security system. No help from Vivint - currently trying to cancel service as full installation was no done within 30 days - this company is the worst - don't do it

Signed three-year contract at $69.99 a month. After three years my monitoring fee was supposed to drop to $29.99 a month, and that I could cancel at any time. They continued to charge me $69.99 a month for five years.....never dropping the price.! When I contacted customer service (Customer Loyalty) they said that the only way that I could get my bill lowered was to renew a contract with them of at least a year. Then they said I would still be charged $39.99 a month. Very untrustworthy company, and not God based as promoted. If they were God based then they would honor their Word.

I would rather not give them any stars but that’s not an option. Vivint is a complete and total scam. Their salesman will promise you huge discounts longer periods where you can really decide if you like the system etc. You have 10 days to cancel no matter what the salesman says. The. They will make it incredibly difficult to cancel and will charge you even after the system is removed. And attempt to charge you a fine for “buying out your contract”. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone.

We spent $1500 to purchase equipment, installation, etc. NEVER had a problem in 15 years with our previous alarm company, but they didn't offer cellular connectivity. After 1 week of giving, we had alarm problems; not connected properly, etc. After 3 years (contract period) our cameras still don't work...95% of the time they are "offline". Sooooo many technical calls and visits. Still the system does not function properly. Seriously...we use guns and dogs over vivint now. Their system is a joke.

This is a TERRIBLE product! We purchased a home that has a Vivint thermostat controller (sellers took the rest of the home security system with them). I called Vivint to find out how to adjust the schedule/programming/temp controls. They told me that unless I purchased a FULL alarm package for the home then they WOULD NOT allow me access to the panel to control the system!!!!! IF they supported their products then I would have considered purchasing more.

If i could give negative stars i would! This company is awful and i would never recommend them. I completed 4years and 8 months of a 5 year contract and am moving somewhere i can’t take my system, even sent them proof of bankruptcy and they still charged me to buy out the contract. They are a sham and a horrible company, they told me a week prior that with proof of the bankruptcy i could cancel without penalty then changed their story when i sent it all in!

I wont go too much into detail because I have a similar experience as others. However, dont be fooled! They rush into your home and are nice on the surface. Then they corner you into purchasing a plan that you have 3 days to turn away from. Who knows they want to cancel in 3 days. They dont give you any time to think about it. Their customer service on the technical side was great but on the billing side, the WORST.

(Don't ever sign a 5 year contract with any service company. Lesson learned.) Any time I need new equipment they overcharge my credit card and refuse to refund any of it. I have also NEVER been able to view my online billing on their website. Technical glich on their end. Can't wait for this contract to be over.

I would give a zero if I could. I was transferred to them from AHS, whom I trusted. I spoke with a rep and decided I would try the product, but when I saw the reviews... I cancelled about a hour or two later. That was in May and this is now The end of July. I still have not received my refund of about 80$. Even after numerous communications. Steer clear - it wreaks of scam.

I'll repeat the other reviews in that Vivint is the worse company I've ever dealt with and would give them a zero rating. However, they did damage to my house with amateur installers, ripped wiring out of my house that cost me over $1,000 to get fixed. When I had them remove the system they left a colossal mess. DO NOT deal with this bunch of shysters.

I had Vivint for 4 years. I had to sell my home in order to move closer to my family. When I asked to please cancel my contract I was told I couldnt. I tried to explain to them it was necessary to sell the house and the people who bought it didnt want it. So after talking to several people I was told i had to pay the remaining year of the contract. Im 83 years old and Im stuck with a bill for some thing I dont have. I moved in with my son and family . So I will not recommend this company to any one .

Here is the real issue with this company...they are too big and don't give their front line people the power to do anything! It all has to be transferred to one team or another. Cancellation took forever, five months in fact, payment kept being taken out of my credit card for 5 months, notices of people at my door kept coming for months after I had moved out. Refund took forever...customer service takes a beating every day because the company rips people off! I would rather buy a dog then have this company protect my house again!

Cost over $200 for equipment. Monthly charge over $88. Long term, 5 year contact. Horrible tech support. Basically none. Constant problems with outside security cameras. Customer service reps are just reading from scripts. No knowledge of equipment or any awareness of threats (malware) to system. They mostly try to sell you more equipment. Techs who came to house were horrible. Disrespectful and never performed the work I was told they would do.

I would give a zero. I have had the system for a year and have had nothing but problems. Just this morning Alarm go off for no reason (3rd time since ive had the system. Door bell notification is so slow by the time you can answer the door with your phone app the person has already left. The camera constantly says someone has been noticed when no one is there but doesn't record when someone is there. Im tired of wasting my time trying to get this fixed. a false sense of security is what vivints tag line should be!

Sales rep. said "No Contract", he talked about the low prices of this product that seemed to good to be true. I decided to buy into this service and it was a mistake. The company ended up putting me into a contract, and also charges me some extra fees that were never discussed between me and the sales rep. Cancelling the service is painful as customer service is slow and of poor quality. This company is in fact a Scam and people should stay away from Vivint.

I got the service and every 3 months the system stops working then I have to spend 1 hr with them on the phone as they are trying to charge me for the technician and every sensor that needs to be replaced. Mind you I can’t cancel because I’m under contact and the only way they can fix the issue for a discounted price is if I extend my contract

Buyers BEWARE!!!! There should be options in the minus rating for customers to select. My rating of “ 1- star” does not accurately reflect the services of this company. It is one of the most inept companies ever. There’s no database (it appears) to which employees may refer for information and FACTS on customers’ account, hence erroneous calls about billing, services provided etc., etc

Unethical sales practices!!! The salesperson at the door told me there was no contract but I tried to cancel the service and learned that I am in a 5 YEAR CONTRACT!!! I specifically asked the salesperson if there was a contract because I planned on moving. he told me there was no contract. The will say anything to get you to sign there little tablet and steal your hard-earned money. Don't do business with them!!! You will regret it!!!
