      Hired AMP for home security services (also known as Safe Home Security) in 2015. Without our knowledge, permission , signature, agreement, our contract was extended 5 YEARS. Service has been poor, ineffective or downright broken, and we have NEVER been able to get ahold of anyone about this. There is no email or other way to contact them aside phone, which you’re held in “the order in which they received your call,” only for the call to be dropped multiple times. Voicemails unreturned. Finally spent HOURS phoning this company and reached someone - She advised our contract was set to expire August 2025, and we realized this within the window to cancel service. Ah, but you can’t just cancel. You have to mail a letter, as stated in our contract that we have zero access to. Once received, they mail back a letter confirming. Okay. So I sent the letter certified, stating we’re canceling, done, and under no circumstances are to be renewed, etc. The letter was received. Did we receive ours? No.
      Weeks later a rep **** calls to ask the problem, says a new company is taking over, etc. We tell her thanks but no thanks, and she confirms our termination of services effective August 2025.
      Yesterday we get a call badgering us about why we’re cancelling, etc. We’re not interested and we’re done in August. Yet the rep says nope, you’re through August 2028. Got ahold of another person today whom told us our letter was “scanned in,” but we were renewed. She can’t do anything about it and someone will call us in 24hrs.

      Read any reviews about this company - illegal, fraudulent and predatory! My next concern is how to stop payments, and get their crappy equipment back to them (which is another thing we’ve called about) before more predatory practices take place.

      Please help!

      I have been a customer of AMP Security for years. I recently moved and want to cancel the security monitoring service from them. My house sold on May 15, 2025. I called them on May 16, 2025 to cancel. I was told I needed to talk to the cancellation department and that they would call me. They did not call me back. I have called everyday since then because alarms are going off in the home on a regular basis and I am always told the cancellation department has to call me. I was also told once the cancellation department calls me, it takes 30 days to cancel and I will have to pay for another month of service. I do not have a contract with them. I had a contract for the first 5 years but I have been with them more than 10 years. I just want to cancel my service.

      One year ago, I had solar panels installed on my home. At the time of installation, I was told that the security system was a part of the installation of the solar panels. I informed the sales rep. and the installer that the security system was not something I wanted or needed. They proceeded to change my thermostat, and my doorbell and put the sensors on the windows and doors I was told by the sales rep. "no worries, this is a part of your installation package. It was never said that I would need to start paying a few for the service at some point. As of May 23rd, 2025, Amp Smart has charged me twice in one month. One charge was for $116.58, and the second charge on the same day was for $58.29. When I called to cancel the service, Amp Smart refused to cancel or give me a refund without a certified letter. However, they did explain repeatedly that the $116.58 was because they didn't receive a payment in March and April. I was not aware that they were due payment. Also, I don't have a contract with AMP Smart for this service, unless it was hidden in the agreement with Titanium and Goodleap. Either way, it was not explained that this was a system that I had to have. I also was not allowed to cancel or continue the service before being charged. There is only one phone number provided *************. This number is to make a payment over the phone or get a quote. There is no email contact information.

      I have been a customer with them for over 4 years. A few months ago they double charged me for service. When I called to resolve the issue they said there was nothing they could do because I was being charged for service. I asked how to cancel my ser ice and sent them a certified letter that had to be signed for. They received it on 4/22. I called today to find out why my service wasn't canceled after receiving the letter a month ago and they said it could take up to 60 days but I would still have to finish paying on my contract even though I canceled it. I just want my contract canceled. The agent that sold me never disclosed that I would be locked in to a 5 year contract. I would never had to agreed to it if I had known that.

      The company will not allow you to cancel your account regardless of whether or not you’re trying to buy out your contract or your contract has been fulfilled. It doesn’t matter how much you try to do the right thing, they screen calls and refuse to help customers who wish to cancel actually cancel. You can call and email a million times and nobody ever gets back to you or actually helps you. Yet they continue to remove money from your account monthly which is theft.

      We signed a contract with them five years ago. Our contract was up on April 20 of 2025. I had called in December 2024, January 2025 and February 2025 to find out how to make sure I could cancel my account. I was told each phone call I had to call after April 20 to cancel the account. I was never told I had to send a letter 30 days prior. They have now extended my contract an entire year stating I did not send them the letter in writing in time , I realize that in the contract it says they have to receive The letter, but I called several times requesting the steps and was never told a letter had to be sent. There was never any kind of courtesy email sent out letting us know that we needed to send in a letter. It is shady business to require someone to be in another year-long contract because they failed to mention a letter needed to be sent. I had never called. I would understand the extension. The fact that I called three times and was never told a letter had to be sent. I believe is neglect on their part as well as a shady way to charge me an additional years worth of fees. Also, in my contract I was told my price would be $55.97 and the only time that that would raise was during the review period, However, I have been paying $79 for the last three years. I have called and requested to speak to a supervisor three times and have not had any calls back. Certified letter has now been sent but they are stating they require the 1 year extension. I want the 1 year extension lifted because i asked how to cancel my account and was never told a letter had to be sent until it was past the date.

      Transferred Service to new address. Representative recommended a new equipment which included a doorbell. Representative indicated we never discussed a doorbell, however that was the reason to go with the new equipment instead of transferring the existing.

      We had service with AMP Smart for 10+ years and never had an issue until now. The new equipment is by a third party, Eufy. The technician told indicated he does not work for AMP Smart. We were never told it would be a Third party involved. The camera requires charging after 180 days. It has only been two weeks and we need to charge the camera. After charging, the camera still offline.

      In calling to share my concern about the camera, the representative indicated it could be because of high winds. No resolution or offer to a technician.

      Requesting to be let out of our contract. Representative is having an account manager call us to discuss. This will be the 5th attempt to have a call back from a manager.

      AMP Smart is who we that we are dealing with. It's Eufy.

      We want out of our contract.

      In 2020, I was solicited by a door-to-door AMP Smart representative who made several misleading claims to sell me their home security system. One of the key assurances was that the system would remain operational during power outages. This turned out to be entirely false. Additionally, the video surveillance feed was extremely poor quality and rarely functioned properly.

      Since that time, I have made multiple attempts over the past five years to cancel this service. The last time I contacted AMP was over six months ago, and I was told my contract would be ending in May 2025 and to call back at that time to cancel. I followed their instructions, and upon calling today, I was informed my contract had been auto-renewed for another full year without my consent.

      When I asked why this happened—especially after I had explicitly communicated my intent to cancel—I was told I needed to speak with the cancellation department. However, I cannot be transferred to that department directly and must wait for a callback, which I was told could take several days. This creates a frustrating loop that makes it nearly impossible to end services.

      To be clear, I have not used this system in over three years, and I find it completely unreasonable to be forced to pay for another year of a service I neither want nor use. This feels intentionally deceptive and exploitative.

      I am requesting that AMP Smart:

      Immediately cancel my account,

      Waive any fees associated with this unauthorized renewal,

      And provide written confirmation that my account is closed.

      I am turning to the Better Business Bureau for help because AMP Smart is making it extremely difficult to end my relationship with their company through normal channels. I hope BBB can assist in holding this company accountable for their misleading practices and lack of transparency.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      I have been on AMP customer since the end of 2020. Recently I changed internet providers and had our doorbell camera and garage go offline. I called AMP multiple times for assistance and could never get through. I then put in a service request with no response. Monitoring called us for a glass-break alarm and I asked for their assistance and they couldn’t get through so they out in a ticket..still no response. Irritated by their lack of assistance I submitted a request to cancel since they are not holding up their end of my contract with no response. I put a second ticket in asking to cancel and still no response. So I can’t get assistance for the service I am paying for, and they have my checking account info so I can’t just block payment, and I cannot get response about cancelling either.

      We would like an early release of the Amp Smart Security contract that expires July 2028 due to unreliability of the security system.
      Starting with the renewal of the contract in July 3023, the camera system was upgraded and added a SD card to improve recording. A backyard camera also needed a SD card. There was an issue and the service tech, *****, came out 3 times before realizing that the SD card was bad. He said he would get another and call back. He never did.
      We called back to find out & talked with technical service for 2 hours regarding the backyard camera needing a SD card that was promised and were paying for. He eventually said someone from scheduling would call. They did not.
      We have since had continual issues with the door lock being offline. Then the panel went out and showed a double screen approximately October 2024. We called again to technical support to have a technician come. *****, said he would replace the panel with the newer version at no additional cost.
      In January 2025, a technician from Tennessee came to replace the panel. This was NOT the upgraded panel promised and in fact was a used panel from a previous customer. He said that the reason the door lock was offline was that the batteries were low and replaced them. Then the app began showing two doors offline. He said that this was showing the old customer’s door which may never go away. Ours, still showing offline, he said would “probably” go away since the batteries were replaced. This continues to be a problem.
      On Friday, April 25, 2025, the radio panel stopped responding. We have not been able to use the alarm since. We would like released from the contract. They offered service in two weeks and have an appointment scheduled but would prefer to be released from the contract without penalty. We have tried to contact the company and only offered service and a penalty to cancel the contract. An email was sent to support with no reply.
