- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Resolved
Continue to have issues with alarm system at the office. Users assigned codes are unable to get into the office, we are very dissatisfied with the system and price for the system to not work correctly. I’m getting calls constantly from agents unable to get into the building because user codes not working, everyone is having to use master code to get into the building, defeating the purpose of providing security with individual codes. Now everyone has the master code. Unacceptable.

Good Morning,
This is the fourth time that this customer has been placed with outside collections. They had two sites with us at one point, they have now both been placed with collections. In January of last year Ms. ******* went on FB and made comments about being placed with collections as well (site 1). We called and spoke to her and tried to explain the amount of times we attempted to contact her and the ways we attempted to contact her. We do not have any notes of her contacting us in reference to Hurricane damage, except for a note in a service ticket on 4/1/21 for a Late to Test signal. The note states "the house is completely gutted. Its going to be at least 3 months ---". The notes show that we continued to attempt to contact the customer regarding the balance until 12/7/21. After the customer not getting back with us she was placed with outside collections on 1/7/22.We have attempted to make contact via phone call, text, email & letters. She was placed for a total of $1,199.70.
(Monitoring) 8/1/21-12/31/21 @ $39.99= $199.95 + (Remaining Term) 1/1/22-1/31/24 @ $39.99 = $999.75
She was placed w/ collections in:
2017
2018
2021
2022
Please note that after the note about the house being gutted was made, the customer did make two more payments on the account on 5/5/21 & 7/7/21Customer response

I am rejecting this response because:The agreements are written incorrectly. Manipulated date, incorrect address on one agreements, not my signature on one agreement, etc. One contracting even stating $29.99/annually so where is my refund?
Feel free to do what you feel what you must do. In the meantime. I will do what is necessary to get this taken care of. These agreements are to be followed as written and you are attempting to ignore that aspect.
Sincerely,
