Protect America has received the complaint submitted by Mr*** ***We processed the cancellation of the account and credited the account accordinglyWe ask that he allows Protect America to assist with any further concerns

Protect America, Inchas received the complaint submitted by Ms*** ***We have since spoken with Ms*** regarding the matter and were unable to reach an amicable resolution

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Protect America should have allowed me to return the system when it was determined it did not meet the requirements in the first trial set up. There was no way to have returned the system in days from set upEvery other vendor offers day return policy from completed installationMy system is still not working with all the components. I was tired of calling for support and to complain

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: My wife, Mrs***, made phone contact in late May of to cancel service, as we were doing with all of our business and financial obligations. My wife and I had just retired from our teaching positions to take effect 6/6/and had sold our house. We were out of the house 6/6/15, and had physically moved into our new residence in Trout Creek, Mt by 6/16/15. In late May, mail forwarding had been established with the Postal Service. The date mentioned by Protect America of 6/17/is inaccurate or misleading. We made arrangements with everyone including cable, utilities, financial institutions, etc., even the gym. During that initial phone contact in late May initiated by her, my wife requested a regular billing statement with the charges. Instead, we received nothing. We were in the middle of our transition to our Montana residence, but mail forwarding was operative. We received nor heard anything from Protect America from June to August 2015.Then in August we experienced the phone calls from Protect America indicating the bill had ballooned to from $to $119. At the first of these August calls, my wife requested, as in late May, a bill with charges and an explanation for these charges. Once again, no bill. Some of these calls were threatening to take us to collections while some were sales pitches to continue service. Each time we requested a bill and an explanation for the charges. Nothing has been received by us in the mail.It is odd that we would be diligent and faithful in our payments in regards to all our business and financial arrangements and all of a sudden a problem with them. Our credit rating is stellar.A resolution to this dilemma is feasible. We will pay the regular service fee for the June/July period. Also, any negative impact on our credit rating should be corrected. Yet, Protect America does not seem to be open to resolution. They make reference to their lawyers, or may be a bill collecting agency. Does it really make sense to turn lawyers (or whoever) on a couple of retired teachers for a $claim of past due?In August, my wife sent an email detailing some of the above and a cancellation of service. But bear in mind, we received no regular billing statement from June to the present. It is only in August that we were notified by Protect America of the matter, and a $past due. If we are to pay for service from June to August, where is the paperwork indicating such service was rendered? From late May to August, since we heard nothing, as far as we were concerned there was no problem.Paying for July to August would be paying for service at a home we no longer own, in a town we no longer live in, while living in a rural area with more grizzly bears than law enforcement officers. Let's resolve this matter and move on.*** ***

I am rejecting this response because: I have sent pictures and spoke tech support twice and customer service rep, only to act and pretend nothing was ever recorded the 1st callsI have zero tolerance of insults to my intelligence just to delay this resolution processI will not pay $a month or even $for services per month for 3years of a service and equipment that I can't useIt was promised when purchased I could move my serviceI feel a company with good moral and ethnical support will take back this system and resale it to some who it will work forI don't want motion sensors that fall off the walls every time I placed themIf I already paid you for them and the camera which I believe you charged me up front forFine I'll keep themBut what I want you to do is accept your alarm monitoring system back and credit me back for the past months you keep trying to bill me for: from August 1st until todayI will not pay for a service I can't useLook at your monitoring logs and show us where you actively been monitoring my house for past months? You can't because I cant set the alarm system up effectively here in this new locationJust refund me any money I paid up front and send me a return stickerI paid you for the months you monitor my home at previous locationBecause it worked perfectly for that kind of home in newer style push up windows with the screens out sideThese windows roll outwardly and I honest would not be able to ever close my windows if I placed then in the inside portion of the windowsAnd what good are sensors stuck on the outside of windows? You representative suggested I place screws into sensors on windows? Huh? What's the pointI no longer what to even conduct business with rude and disrespectful people/businessClose out my contract and Please send me a letter stating you have agreed to cancel my contractBecause the equipment doesn't work effectively for this new home location.Thank you

I am rejecting this response because: The system does not work, has never worked during the term cited and the employee (*** ***) that produced the "AGREEMENT" and the alarm monitor station confirmed that they do not nor have they ever had a working system during the periodThis was with numerous requests of Mr*** in this processWhen Protect America was informed of the payment due to the electronic payment and with the knowledge and confirmation that the system never worked refused payment(refund) even with a customer that had faithfully paid since The warranty of merchantability applies in this case where a company knowingly accepts payment for a product it also knew did not work!

I am rejecting this response because:
Regards,The only options they have provided is full payment of the contract to release myself, I have already paid for years without receiving any service as well as offered to return their equipment which they have refusedAgain paying cash heir contract in full time to be released from their contract is the only option they have given me when I have already paid to play years, a total $without receiving serviceAgain a cancellation and partial refund are the only moral and correct course of restitution

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Protect America is an unscrupulous business service provider. They continue to call and harass my household despite being requested not to do so in writing. I WAS a loyal customer with no issues for nearly years while the equipment was in working condition. The service was reported as not working in July of and their company was notified then, not in December as Protect America states. As to the equipment being tested monthly, it does not turn on and has no function. I asked Protect America if they could test it remotely while no power indication is shown at my home and I was advised that they could not do so as they do not have the ability to do so with the equipment in my home. Finally, I certainly would have accepted an offer for replacement equipment for their service for the disputed billing period ONLY and in fact, did do so. However, I was notified that if I accept the replacement equipment that I would have to have a service commitment of years. As I no longer wish to do business with this unscrupulous service provider, I reject their offer for replacement equipment contingent on a 3 YEAR COMMITMENT. I am not surprised that Protect America did not include the year commitment in their latest response to Revdex.com. I have their broken equipment and am prepared to take it to Court as evidence that Protect America continues to bill for services that they have not provided for the past months. I would think that it would be unlawful on the part of Protect America to bill for services that they have been and continue to be unable to provide. What exactly is Protect America providing as a service for a fee of $per month if they are unable to monitor the broken alarm system that is in place in my home?
