My position is clear, and Guardian's demands are neither reasonable nor fair They want full retail price for substandard work The so called waiver of fees or credits that they offer are arbitrary and carry no bearing on the facts of this case.They came into my home, made a mess, and expect me to pay them to clean it upThat is outrageous Their offer of continued business is self serving and out of the question.I would look at this as a marriage gone wrong.Think of a couple that decides to marry The man travels across the country to [redacted] at great expense to buy an engagement ringThe marriage falls apart due to deception on the part of the man The woman is under no obligation to reimburse the man for his travel expenses he paid in buying the ring; she merely returns the ring He begs and tells her he will give her everything she wants, but she refuses She does not trust the man, after having been once deceived She states that she would be a fool to marry him, as she would look forward to a life of misery No one forces a person to marry someone in whom they do not trust So it is with myself and Guardian They did not deal honestly with me from the beginning, and their offer is not acceptable for reasons stated in my previous replies Regards, [redacted] ***

April 19, RE: [redacted] ***, Case # [redacted] Dear Mrs***: Thank you for forwarding Mrs***’s complaint to Guardian Protection Services, Inc(“Guardian”)Guardian values the opportunity to provide response and clarify this matter for all parties Mrs***’s letter expresses discontent related to the installation of security equipment during her recent upgradeFor background, Mrand Mrs***’s initial transaction with Guardian occurred on October 10, 2012, at which time Mr [redacted] executed a Monitoring Agreement to engage Guardian to activate and monitor the existing system in their new home In January 2016, Mrand Mrs [redacted] elected to upgrade their security systemMr [redacted] executed an Interactive Upgrade Addendum (“Addendum”) on January 26, for an initial term of forty-eight (48) monthsOn February 11, 2016, Guardian installed all of Mrand Mrs***’s selected equipment with the exception of one (1) device which was damaged out of the boxGuardian’s technician explained that a new sensor would be ordered and a technician would return to install that device upon delivery The following day, Guardian received an email from Mrs [redacted] expressing dissatisfaction with installation of the new equipment, citing displeasure with the cosmetic appearance of the new devicesMrs [redacted] requested a different technician return to correct the appearance of the devices and to install the missing deviceGuardian apologized to Mrs [redacted] for any inconvenience and explained that a new sensor had been orderedUpon the sensor being delivered, Guardian would contact Mrs [redacted] to schedule an appointment An onsite service appointment was scheduled for February 26, to install the missing sensor and make cosmetic alterations to the new equipment however Mrs [redacted] subsequently requested that the appointment be rescheduledPursuant to her request, the onsite service appointment was rescheduled for March 3, Guardian’s technician was dispatched as scheduled on March 3, While onsite, the technician removed glue residue which remained from the installation of the initial security equipmentThe technician also made cosmetic changes to the alignment of the new security devices which resulted in the devices being more aesthetically pleasingThe following day, Mrs [redacted] expressed her pleasure with the work of the technician however stated he had missed several devices on the basement windowsA technician returned to Mrs***’s home on March 8, and made additional cosmetic corrections (i.eusing glue remover and filling holes with white silicon, etc.)The technician also replaced two (2) transmittersPrior to departing, the technician provided a demonstration to Mrs [redacted] on arming/disarming the system using the key fob On March 9, 2016, Mrs [redacted] expressed ongoing issues with the window sensorsA technician returned that day on March 9, and found that serial numbers on several sensors were incorrectly programmedThe technician corrected the programming and replaced the living room window contactGuardian now believes the issues with the window sensors and the cosmetic appearance of the new devices to be resolved Mrs***’s letter also expresses concern related to the motion sensor in her homeMore specifically, Mrs [redacted] states that the motion sensor did not detect her movement in the home while the system was armedGuardian reviewed Mrs***’s account including the history log from Mrs***’s panel and determined that the system was armed in “stay” mode during the time in questionPlease note that arming the system in “stay” only arms the perimeter devices (doors and windows) to allow homeowners to move freely about the residence without tripping any motion-activated devicesShould a customer wish for the motion sensors to be armed, the system must be armed in either “away” or “maximum” mode Guardian contacted Mrs [redacted] on April 5, to provide the above explanationDuring that conversation, Mrs [redacted] conducted a test of her system while it was armed in “away” mode and the motion sensor did activate properlyGuardian’s representative also provided an explanation to Mrs [redacted] of the different arming modes (“stay”, “away”, “instant” and “maximum”)Mrs [redacted] indicated that her touchscreen keypad did not have a “maximum” option and that she had armed the system in “night stay.” Guardian’s representative offered to remotely access Mrs***’s system and program the Zone motion sensor to be incorporated with the “night stay” optionMrs [redacted] accepted and Guardian edited the programming for the motion sensor via remote access Guardian left several voicemail messages for Mrs [redacted] on April 5, and April 6, to advise her of the programming changes and to inquire if she had had the opportunity to test the motion sensorMrs [redacted] emailed Guardian on April 6, and stated that she had tested the motion sensor twice with no successGuardian’s representative sent an email response to Mrs [redacted] requesting that she contact Guardian via telephone to conduct a test of the motion sensor while on the lineGuardian’s representative also offered to send a technician at no charge to test the motion sensor onsite On April 7, 2016, a Guardian supervisor spoke with Mrs [redacted] regarding the motion sensorMrs [redacted] expressed that she wished for the motion sensor to be armed during the night with no entry delayGuardian’s technical support team has been conducting extensive research and was able to provide instructions on setting the system in “night stay” mode from the number keypadGuardian’s technical support team also contacted Honeywell to determine why the touchscreen keypad was not compatible with “night stay”After additional remote programming changes, Guardian believed the motion sensor issue to be resolved On April 8, 2016, Guardian left a voicemail message for Mrs [redacted] informing her of the newest programming changesGuardian’s representative requested that Mrs [redacted] contact Guardian to relay whether the motion sensor was now working as she desiredGuardian left additional voicemail messages on both Mr***’s cell phone and Mrs***’s cell phone on April 11, to inquire if they had tested arming in “night mode” from all keypads Shortly thereafter, Mrs [redacted] informed Guardian via email that the motion sensor again did not activate while armed in “night stay.” Mrs [redacted] further stated she did not wish to make any further attempts to alter the programming related to the “night” mode Guardian apologizes to Mrs [redacted] that its efforts to program her motion sensor remotely have not been successfulAs previously offered, Guardian would be pleased to dispatch a technician at no charge to make any necessary changes to ensure the motion sensor is armed during “night stay.” In the interim, Guardian has applied a credit to Mrs***’s account equal to two (2) months of monitoring services in apology for any inconvenience Thank you for allowing Guardian the opportunity to explain the above matterShould you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at
