      I initially contacted this company to provide a quote for commercial security services and to fix a door that is controlled to open. Someone has been out 3 times and the services were not completed but yet I am being charged monthly for services. I have spoken as well as emailed the sales representative several times. She is now passing me to others and each person has no clue what is going on. I requested to speak to a supervisor. I was told I would be copied in on the email. I was then told she could not copy me in the email but sent me a separate email. I have not received any resolution to my issues. I am very disappointed in the services and the poor communication experienced.

      We are being sent to collections for a debt that is not accurate or lawful. Our contract has not been violated and nowhere does it stipulate the reasons we are given for being sent to collections. We've offered to work with ****** ******** in numerous ways to continue the security system contract and the payments. The payments have not stopped, we have the new owner paying for them, and still, ****** ******** is sending us to collections. The contract does not state anything about moving, or subleasing the service. They refuse to show where we've signed anything to that effect.

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/07/19) */ We sincerely apologize for any confusion. Johns Brothers Security acquired ********** Security Division on February 1, 2022.

In doing so, you began receiving monitoring invoices from us. We received your formal cancellation request on Friday, July 1, 2022. Your cancellation is being processed, and your system will be deactivated on Friday, July 22, 2022 at 10:00am. Once the cancellation is complete, your security and fire monitoring will be discontinued. If you have any questions or concerns, we would be happy to assist you.
