Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/06/26) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I called multiple times for them to admit that Pinnacle was a bad company and that they bought the company but are not responsible for their errors. They stated that it was in the "fine Print". Anytime I spoke with anyone and the fact that I signed with Pinnacle originally came up in the conversation they were all like "that explains it". They bought the company and therefore as far as the customer is concerned we do not want excuses we want results. If I had been told up front about the fact that it was auto renewed or that there were no local technicians I would have NEVER signed with this company!! I did have the system removed by a reputable company because all I was getting fro Safe was emails when the system was down or set off. This is completely unacceptable. The cameras also never functioned for longer than 2 months on 2 occasions. I am not asking for a refund of any kind for faulty equipment and bad service, but I am requesting that I not have to continue to pay for bad service and faulty equipment. I feel these are MAJOR topics that customers should be made aware of verbally before signing such an agreement.

They are lying. There never was any agreement between me and this company,we refused,though they did try to have us sign a contract(note that they do not claim a contract).Further they freely acknowledge that they heard from me on 7/28 which is enough.What they fail to say is that my wife cancelled over the phone several weeks before(due to several false alarms sending police response which we were charged for) and they said to address there website. We did that and they ignored our letter to them through that website. Just as they fail to acknowledge that my wife called them in their response and then they falsely billed us after that time. If anything they owe us for the bills we received from the city and failing to support the system in place.Once again when false alarms went off and we were not on premises over several months they made false calls to the local police department; they could not tell system failure from break ins.In the end they did not call us or the police but assumed two alarms were false(one that went off in the middle of the night scaring me any my children)right before we cancelled and put an ADT system in. WE owe them nothing and they need to desist in any claims against us just go away in writing. There should in fact be sanctions placed against this "business".They create a risk to the public depending on the service they failed to provide.Lastly if they claim that a verbal agreement was in place; Why then would a written cancellation be necessary?

I do not have a CONTRACT with them tell them to stop now, I owe them nothing>HOLD them responsible period. I did what they asked in writing twice they denied receiving it they are disreputable and need to be held accountable I do not have to give them notice for something I never agreed to in the first place. They are playing games again they say I verbally agreed to something that I did not: why would I need to write something if their never was a written agreement in the first place? Hold them responsible stop just listening to their nonsense> I will agree to send the Revdex.com the response they are asking for only not them they are liars and this needs to be published.

I tried to Cancel my service with Safe Security now 3 times. Last year I was told I could not cancel because my contract auto review in November. I was told to start the cancellation process the following October. I began canceling my service in September.Their records showed I had never called. Called again Oct 3rd top verify my account would be closed and that my contract would not auto review. Spoke with [redacted] and she told me I had to write in to cancel my contract they would not take a verbal. I wrote in Oct 3 rd and was told payment would be stopped in November. December I was rebilled and on Dec 19th I was told they never canceled my account and to call back later and they would see what they could do. Wish I would have never started using them as my alarm company. Terrible customer service and even worse customer repair service.

Security rep offered a 3yr contract in which Mrs. [redacted] would receive the 3G GSM at the cost of $99.00 and also included on this new contract would be the removal of the $25.00 trip charge going forward. Mrs. [redacted] requested for the $25.00 trip fee she was just charged to be credited. The representative agreed to waive the $25.00 fee that was billed on Invoice# XXXXXXXX in which the credit was created on 08/11/14 . Mrs. [redacted] then asked for the previous trip charge to be credited also. The representative stated to the customer that the previous fee could not be credited because it was already paid but reminded the customer that the first representative she had spoken with on 08/11/14 had issued her (2) certificates that would be giving her free service for two months.
Mrs. [redacted] stated she did not want a contract so the other option given to her was to pay the full rate of the equipment ($175.00) and the labor cost and the contract would not be needed. Mrs. [redacted] stated she did not want to pay for the equipment. Mrs. [redacted] mentioned cancelling services and she was advised the current contract is year to year and would expire in May 2015.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I received a new box, which I did not request, after the first visit of the service tech. My alarm kept tripping and the sensor was fixed. I then mentioned that the original box was making sounds. they indicated that they were unsure what it was and told me to call them if it gives any more problems. Unexpectadly, I received a new box in the mail, which I did not request; however, due to my recent advisement that my alarm was making funny noises, after calling to ask if they sent me a new box, I believed that was what is was for. The representative on the phone never indicated at that time that I needed to upgrade my equipment and what my cost would be or anthing. It was never mentioned. So, I had the new box installed. During this time, the tech indicated the alarm would was not working. He made a phone call and they told him I needed a new radion. So, I have not had an alarm system working since this time. I was told then that my radio needed to be updated and I asked if I would be charged for this and he did not know. Now, I am being told that I do require updated equipment for the new box to work and there is a fee associated with it. My issue is that had I known this upfront, I would have kept my working old alarm box. In order to not have to pay a large amount for the equipment, I now have to sign a three year contract. I have been paying the maintance plan on my previous contract for over three years and I am being told if I do not sign a contract with Safe then any work done I will be charged by the half hour. If you are taking over my contract shouldnt you be honoring the service plan I originally had? So, I would like to have my old system back that was working or I will pay the 99 for the new system but I do not want to enter into a new contract. Also, I would like three months free montioring, since the first month is not free because I am paying for a service that is not working now. Thanks.

absolutely not. I have been paying for a service for two months that I have not recieved. I was willing to pay for the new equipment with the two free months I was receiving for service....However, it is not free when I am paying for a service right now that is not hooked up. I want an additional month that I will actually receive montitoring free or I want my origianl equipment back. This is getting rediculous. You are purposely taking time where I will not benefit any from the two month free certificates you have sent. I would like this to be resolved to I can feel safe in my own home and I would like one additional. month free. Additionally, there was never a 12 month contract sent back to me so therefore, nothing to sign. A three year contract was sent. I just learned of the 12 month contract last week. Please allow for one more month free upon my signing of the contract, where I am actually receiving the service I have been paying for. I would like this resolved immediately. I have no security system right now or give back my origianl equipment you took with out discussing this with me.

Contract Terms: 08/10, 42 months, automatically renew for 1 year, unless cancelled by either party in writing no less than...

15 days prior to the end of the then current term. Contract expired on 02/28/15.
SAFE Security acquired the security agreement from Pinnacle Security on 2/4/13.
Please see attached security agreement Page 1, Paragraph 2 Certain Terms and Conditions, Section 2.3, Sentence 2:
This agreement shall automatically renew for successive 1 year renewal terms unless cancelled by either party in writing no less than 15 days prior to the end of the then-current term.
A cancellation letter needed to be received by 02/13/14, in order for the original contract term not to auto renew which was scheduled to expire on 02/28/14. Since a cancellation letter was not received, the account automatically renewed for 1 year with a new expiration date of 02/28/15.
On 10/9/14, SAFE Security received a signed cancellation letter from the customer.
The customer signed the security agreement acknowledging that she understood the terms and conditions of the agreement. The customer is responsible for the terms of the contract agreement and for monthly monitoring services through the end of contract term of 2/28/15. Although the customer voluntary removed our system, it does not release her from the legal binding security contract agreement.
The account balance is $525.67 is for monitoring services that have been billed from 11/2014 through 8/31/15. The account will continue to be billed for monitoring services each month until cancelled. The customer only owes for monitoring services thru 2/28/15 in the amount of $ 167.77. The remaining balance will be credited back on the account once it has been cancelled.
To resolve this issue, SAFE Security will need to receive the balance of contract payment in the amount of $167.77. Once the payment is received, the account will be submitted for cancellation.
Until the balance of contract payment is sent to SAFE Security, the customer will be held to the contract terms.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I was not aware of an automatic renewal provision and should have been informed of this provision when I originally requested the cancellation the first time. I was told that I had to wait for the original contract to end before I could cancel. This is what I did. I waited for the contract to end. As far as the $167.77, when I cancelled the agreement, my account was overpaid by $32.00, this should have been deducted from the $167.77. If Safe send an invoice for $135.77, I will pay this amount to put this maatter to rest.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2014/08/25) */
I have read the reply from Safe Security and I am very disappointed but not at all surprised.
Since my original complaint I have tried several times to get my security system fixed to no avail. I have called to very long wait times (as usual) and once when I complained about a 15 minute wait I was actually hung up on! I had to call back, go through all the prompts again and wait another 5 to 7 minutes to talk to someone. At that time I set up another appointment to have the alarm fixed, telling them I had received the part in the mail. The time before the technician said it wouldn't take him very long to install the part if he had it. I set up an appointment for 2:00. At around 1:50 I called to confirm the appointment given there history. I was told he was running behind on the previous job and would be late. Since I had plans to leave at 4:00 I asked How late he would be. I was told that my time was actually from 2-4:00 and he wouldn't be there until 4:00. I knew I would not have made the appointment time from 2 to 4:00 having plans at 4:00! I rescheduled the appointment again. At that one, the technician was late again. And again I had plans this time to take my dog to the vet. He installed the new part and we agreed that I would call when I got back to test the alarm. When I did the signal still was not reaching them and they actually sent the technician right back out. When he came back he was told to unplug everything and plug it back in to see if it would work then. At that time the technician broke the new part I had waited five days to get. They said they would send another part. Meaning I would have to schedule ANOTHER appointment after waiting for ANOTHER part!! I said no.
This has been going on for over a month. Constantly waiting for phone calls and missed appointments. I am very busy as are most people. I have not had service during this whole time and have made a payment on X-XX-XX even though I didn't have service. They also sent me a bill for $25.00 for the service call when the technician broke the new part and an additional bill for $47.99 ( I have no idea what this is for).
I have wasted a lot of my time trying to resolve this and never had a response from them after filing my complaint. I have received coupons for free months of service, but I have no service!
There response of making me pay over $400.00 to end a contract that wasn't even with them to begin with is outrageous! That is totally unacceptable and I pray you can help me in this matter.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I can appreciate the attempt to solve this by asking for a smaller amount of money from me but I honestly don't think I should have to pay at all. I have always paid the due amount on time and in full since I've been a customer.I now have not had service since July(which I paid for) and have made several attempts to have it fixed. Wasting hours of my time in the process. My original contract was not even with this company. None of this was my fault and I don't believe I should have to pay any more money or waste any more of my time.

In regards to customer XXXXXXX, we have reviewed Ms. [redacted]'s account and would like to offer her the following options:

We work with Ms. [redacted] in making the necessary repairs to her system and she continues as a customer of SAFE.
Should she still wish to cancel, Ms. [redacted] would need to submit a cancellation request and pay the balance of her contract which has been reduced by 50%. The amount of $191.96 is the balance owed. We would then process the cancellation.
SAFE Security as mentioned before will honor the cancellation when the signed cancellation letter has been received and the balance of the contract has been paid.
Please feel free to contact us at (XXX) XXX-XXXX Monday thru Friday to advise us how our customer would like to proceed.

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Sincerely, [redacted]

After three years with Safe Security, my contract expired in April. For a month prior, the garage sensor did not work. I put in a service request. No response (I found out it was cancelled). I sent a second service request. So then I spent 2 hours on the phone with a tech attempting repair myself, sweating to death in my garage, crawling up and down my ladder, laying on the floor by the garage door. The sensor still did not work. The tech advised, since I went above and beyond, he would send a tech out free of charge to make repairs. The parts for the sensor were UPS-sent to me, but no tech contacted me via phone, mail or e-mail. I also discovered that one of my zones had never been monitored the whole time I was with them (the installer never explained the panel, etc., to me). I learned what I could from a manual on-line.
When I cancelled in April and took on a new company, Safe refused to recognize the cancellation letter I sent, after I touched base with them via email. So I sent a second letter within the week. At this point, they had already auto-drafted two month's payment (April & May). I removed all of my banking info from the site and warned them to not bill me anymore. I just received an email bill for twice the monthly fee. I am assuming it is for the "tech support." You know where I spent 2 hours of my time and energy trying to fix my garage sensor with guidance from a tech on the phone. Billed for both requests, including the one that was cancelled.
I've sent back the replacement equipment and a very detailed letter advising them that I am not paying for work that I did myself or for a service request that was cancelled. I can't wait to see what they will try next....

My cancellation was sent directly to the company, forwarded to them by the Texas Attorney General and attached to my complaint filed through the FTC. I will be pursuing legal action due to fraud.

Probably the worst customer service ever. They lied to me when I moved said if I wrote them a moving letter they would cancel my account. jIn stead they continued to draft my my bank even after was told my them that they would stop . None of the equipment worked very well continued to have problems with the service the key fob failed to work all the time asked several times to get new equipment but because the company was changing hands for the third or forth time nothing happened finally they sent 0ne fob and charged me additional 50 dollars.
Several of my neighbor had the service totally dissatisfied, buyer or new customers should stay alway from this company.

A copy of the response has been sent US mail on **/**/[redacted] to the customer.

All the information I submitted to Revdex.com is accurate. I do not accept this settlement. I will persue legal action to receive the funds paid for no service during the time period mentioned in complaint. I have not had any writen response from SAFE Security from the correspdence that was sent. Again, very inept customer service, total disregard for a long term customer.
This matter will not be closed until I am sastified with the refund of $2,699.40 paid in full.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
On Novemeber 13,2014 I again received a bill from SAFE Security charging me a return to maker fee of $15.00- 10/20/14, and a Montering charge of $44.99 for 11/10/14. I again wrote to them refering to my August 26,2014 letter that I was stopping all payments for services not renedered for 5 years. They have made no effort to contact me by phone or letter. I also informed them with the latest notice received,there should be NO ADVRSE reporting on my account. I will hold them accountable to the Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Consumer Protection-FCRA at this time I feel there is no recourse but to File a Small Calims Court action to regain the funds paid to SAFE Secruity. Again Consumer BEWARE.
