related services for customers who systems were sold and installed by [redacted] Alarm Mr [redacted] s letter indicates his system was not working properly and further asserts that Guardian refused to

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below Regards, [redacted] ***Guardian said they would have someone call me from AMP within hours because the issue was theirs and not Guardian AMP is a distributor for Guardian, so, as far as I'm concerned, Guardian should be responsible for their suppliers Anyhow, mom just received a cancellation notice from Guardian That is not what I asked for The AMP people, representing Guardian, did not install correctly, nor did they teach her how to use the system They walked into her house and replaced Life Alert with their system, without her consent (unless they forged it, she said she did not sign anything).Guardian wants to pass this on to AMP (who never called me back nor did they go to mom's to correct the lousy installation when they broke into her house - according to my mother that is what they did - forced their way into her house), but I feel that both parties are responsible, especially since the only name of which I was aware was Guardian, and not AMP, until after I contacted Guardian.This is a mess My mom is about ready to have a stroke I am NOT satisfied, and I expect a better response from both Guardian and AMP If AMP is representing Guardian, then Guardian should accept the blame! When an employee (contract or paid by firm) does something wrong, it is the main company who needs to correct the problem I am tired of companies and people passing things on to the next company or person Guardian is the one to blame for using AMP as a distributor!

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below Regards, [redacted] I would like to say that all of the information they are now saying they provided me was only after they were aware of my Revdex.com complaint This explanation is totally different from any proceeding by their supervisors, Sara and Phillipee' The only mention of someone doing something wrong or misinforming me was blamed on the technician, he absolutely said nothing to me, I only heard him talking to someone at his company at Guardian [redacted] so I feel they are totally avoiding their explanation of why a supervisor, Phillipee' told me that I only had cellular back up and when my land line was disconnected by me that was the reason I had no working motion detector I would only ask you to have them address my concerns, not dance around the information and bring a technician into it, perhaps send you a copy of my 2nd phone call to Phillipee', days after my initial conversation with him which had given him plenty of time to do his investigation as he said it would only take a day and never returned my call Please explain how every single bit of information I have been told has changed since their knowledge of my contacting you May I ask for the recorded calls?
