Complaint

1.0
Update by user Aug 30, 2021

It has only given me a bad credit rating because it took 2 years to resolve the problem and I refused to pay until it was resolved. All interest and late fees should be dropped and give me an accounting.

Original review posted by user Aug 30, 2021
When I had the system installed I was told the motion would not p/u my pet. It did and I had to pay the fine for Vivint's mistake. Then, after two years of complaining, Vivint finally fix an outdoor camera which was wired in and collecting rain water. It's a miracle I didn't have an electrical fire. Before this was corrected I refused to pay until this was corrected. Vivint gave this account over to a collection agency

User's recommendation: Don't buy Vivint.

Dishonest

2.4
Promised to buy my ring doorbell camera for $200 and never sent paper work. No follow through, salesman was very pushy and not even from here(from Florida).He was apparently just up here to scam and high pressure people I guess. I was vulnerable and I should have slept on it.

User's recommendation: Run.

Service

2.6
Installation was not completed, installer was not comfortable installing two products. Said they would have to send out another tech. I have had two appointments canceled by Vivint. (No call from Vivint)Customer service is a joke...poor English. Tell you someone will call you back..nope. Nothing but excuses!!! So if they get i right the first time consider yourself lucky.

User's recommendation: Products are decent, customer service is horrendous.

Unwanted Door to door solicitation

Why would a company send out door to door salesman during a pandemic, or for that matter anytime? What is this 1970? Mind you I live in a neighborhood clearly marked NO SOLICITING They refused to leave until I went outside, standing on my property uninvited with no mask on. I ran them off my property before I could hear their snake oil sales pitch. There are 1200 cases of covid a day in my area. Vivint your selling practices suck and so do you. I hope you go bankrupt and after reading these other reviews it wont be long !

User's recommendation: BUYER BEWARE.

Keep promising a technician out here but never shows to fix a non-working doorbell camera!

1.0
Going on the second week with promises of a technician with no one showing up to fix it! Going round and round with different customer services people! They lie and give you the runaround! Going to cancel ASAP and get a new debit card so they cant charge my debit for *** service and lies! They are a scam and as I single mom I fell for it! Pissed off to say the least!

User's recommendation: Do not fall for them and if they go on your property call the cops!

Contract

1.0
New owner of my house wanted to take over contract. Vivint scammed them into believing thats what they were signing. Vivint had them sign a new contract , and are charging them for used equipment. And they are billing me for the total overpriced equipment. Only a smoke alarm and ring bill. $750. After I paid for approx 3 years on it already.

User's recommendation: Stay away from Vivint, sneaky sales tactics.

I have been with Vivent for year and a half my garage door system with Vivent have not worked since it was installed,they sent a technican out twice they changed the sensor out each time worked about a day after they left,called 3 times they instructed me how to fix the problem did not work? The system would alarm me that the garage door system was not working all through the night and day.

I called them and told them to disconnect the sensor so we could get some rest. If the technican could not fix it how in *** did they expect a 81 year old man to fix it it

NIGHTMARE with Vivint

1.0
Trying to update my account CC information, the system wouldn't allow it due to conflicting accounts which should have been resolved over 7 years ago. I have been going back and forth with Vivint for 3 months, 10 calls and roughly 8 hours now trying to simply update my account, which resulted in sending out an onsite tech to 'update' my panel; in doing so, I was told they would waive fee's due to all the challenges I have had, just to be charged $425 for the panel, which means they kept my credit card information without my approval. When I
