A very aggressive salesman showed up at my door one evening during dinner. After we explained that we would think about it, he proceeded to show us the benefits of getting the alarm system. He took us online and showed us the many many coupons for places int eh local area that was right on Vivint's website that we could take advantage of and the system would literally pay for itself. I had to agree, the coupons were for many local places I go every week, fast food, pizza, rental cars, hotels, hair salons. So we signed up thinking that the savings we would get through the online savers guide would pay for the system. We did balk over the 5 year contract! that seemed like a long time to be stuck if you were not happy. And I AM NOT HAPPY. A week or two after signing up, of course after the cut off for changing your mind-they up and remove the savers guide from their website, saying they have discontinued using the savers guide - SORRY!!! I called immediately to try and cancel my contract because it is high priced for a security system that is not being discounted with the coupons. I was told that under no circumstances would they let me out of my contract and oh well they are sorry about no longer having the savers guide! What a CROCK! That was the entire selling point used to get us to get the system! Unfair business practice. What they told me and sold me is no longer available and I am stuck in this crappy contract with this crappy company! They offered me a $200 gift card to try and appease me. So I gave them the benefit of the doubt and agreed to it. 6 weeks later and 4 phone calls - no one knew anything about the gift card and I had not received it but they assured me it was on its way! I filed a complaint with BBB and they still will not end my contract without my paying the contract in full. They lied about what they would offer me and the savings I could get. They lied about the gift card! They are just liars all around. Very BAD COMPANY. I just hate that I am stuck with them and cannot go to another company now for 5 years!!! Please investigate fully as one class action lawsuit was already placed on this company operating as another name in CA for unfair business practices! Wish I would have known!
