Update by user Jul 28, 2015

I'm still with Vivint for now, but it hasn't been an easy journey. In the time I've been with Vivint I've had so many outages that required me to wait multiple days without internet to get a technician to my house. I've only survived because I used my phone as a hotspot...

I live in El Paso, TX and I don’t recommend vivint. Their internet is unreliable and refuse to give you credit for all the days you have no internet.

I switched to spectrum and couldn’t be happier. I regret not getting spectrum before.

Your salesperson Johnny Dykster 801-391-2731 stating that the item was free and just paid for the monitor system. Which was a lie because I receive a bill from Fortiva Retail Credit for $1,236.00 for the equipment.

I've been a Vivint customer for over 10 years. During the early days while my system was working properly they were great to deal with. After 6 years however, my system started needing service but since I live in an area without a full time Vivint tech, service calls...

The opportunity for a solution has passed. I'm remised that my money is gone so I'm warning other of my plight.

Vivint Hard Inquiry without Permission

Vivint ran a hard inquiry on my credit and I never spoke with them or authorized the hard inquiry. I have disputed the hard inquiry with the relevant credit agencies and will NEVER trust this company for anything.

User's recommendation: Check Your Credit Reports Regularly.

Vivint sucks. Their overall good reviews appear to be from magazines, and I have to believe that there was money being exchanged under the table. They SUCK! I canceled within the 72 hours and I keep getting billed. They keep telling me they are refunding me my money, and yet another month goes by. I have registered a complaint with BBB and a disputes with my bank.

User's recommendation: Run as far away as you can from Vivint.

Terrible customer service and billing issues

1.0
Details
Vivint mistakenly charged our account twice in the same month for $1020 each time without consent or explanation total $2,040. Had to speak to 7 different Loyalty employees and after a month and a half I received my money back. They wouldn't credit my account on file or CC on file instead they sent a check. We have had 7 months on ongoing product issues and have to call Vivint 2 or 3 times a month so a tech can perform routine maintenance.

User's recommendation: Dont waist your time with Vivint!!! stick to a company that has been around for years like ADT. Vivint once was a solid company but has changed over the years. You have been warned!!!

Even after my last posting the issue for my parents has still not been resolved. Emails, certified letters etc have been sent for cancelation.

They refuse to shut off service and stop billing.

Complaints have been sent to FTC, Consumer Complaints, etc. Next is to contact a media outlet for coverage about how they threaten and scare seniors.

I recently canceled my Land line for the phone which disconnected my being able to see my account on the computer, several times i contacted customer service explained my situation and was told that someone would contact me within a week after numerous calls i have never gotten a response all i wanted to know was if their was any other way to get the account back on the computer. Also i recommended someone for the system they had it installed i had the same results so as far as i am concerned i will never recommend anyone to get the system if they ever wanted to get any answers to a problem and am sorry i didn't go with someone else.

Happy and unhappy

I am happy we have the system. If, however, I had known it takes 1 and a half hour for the doorbell ring to come to my phone I may have reconsidered the system. What if I needed to talk to the person outside my home? I don't think he would be standing 'outside' that long!! The app SUCKS! It is a very pricey system. It should have a top quality app system too!

User's recommendation: Be aware that the app is not reliable if you have stepped out, or if you are in your back yard, or in the tub!
