RE: [redacted] – ID # [redacted] Dear Mrs***: Thank you for informing Guardian Protection Services, Inc(“Guardian”) of Mr [redacted] ’s complaint Guardian values the opportunity to provide response and assist in facilitating resolution of his concerns Mr [redacted] ’s letter states he was unaware he was extending the initial term of his Agreement with Guardian upon upgrading his security equipment in October Respectfully, our review into Mr [redacted] ’s account (including a review of recorded telephone conversations) revealed that Mr [redacted] verbally acknowledged and agreed to the new 60-month term during a telephone conversation with Guardian on October 5, Further, the Interactive Upgrade - Residential Sales and Monitoring Agreement (“Agreement”) executed by Mr [redacted] clearly sets forth the initial term in the Special Terms and Conditions section which states, “THIS IS A MONTH INITIAL TERM.” Upon receipt of your letter, Guardian reached out to Mr [redacted] to discuss the concerns set forth in his complaintDuring that conversation, Guardian reviewed the above information related to the Agreement and initial term While Guardian maintains its legal right to pursue fulfillment of the initial term of Mr [redacted] ’s Agreement, in this instance Guardian will accommodate Mr [redacted] ’s request to cancel his account without further paymentThis gesture is presented by Guardian in good faith to bring swift resolution to this matter Mr [redacted] has expressed his satisfaction with this resolution Thank you for allowing Guardian to address Mr [redacted] ’s complaintShould you have any questions, please contact me directly at ###-###-####, ext*** Sincerely, John T [redacted] , Manager Customer Care Loyalty Department

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 The business indicates that they were given my contact information in case of emergency at the propertyI reject the idea that a low battery signal constitutes an emergencyBesides which, I never saw any indication that there was ever a low battery to begin withThe business is correct, they did send an unnecessary replacement batteryI received the battery, and replaced the old one as indicatedThis DID NOT stop the phone callsLOW BATTERY ISSUES ASIDE, the response does not address the repeated unwanted phone calls, which is the nature of my complaintThe fact that I did not have to give a "code word" to receive phone calls in the first place, but have to give one to stop the calls is a ludicrous way to run a businessI have never heard of a company that cannot provide an alternate way to verify a caller's identityRecent changes to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act allow consumers to revoke consent to receive robocalls, like the ones Guardian is issuing to meHere is the relevant verbiage:"Empowering Consumers to Say ‘Stop’– Consumers have the right to revoke their consent to receive robocalls and robotexts in any reasonable way at any time."https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-strengthens-consumer-protections-against-... would say that repeated phone calls to a company is a reasonable way to revoke consentI even told them more than once that what they were doing is illegal, and they did not seem to care at allI still cannot confirm that the phone calls have stopped, and the response to this complaint does nothing to reassure meWhen my landlord last spoke with Guardian, they could not even tell her WHY they were still calling meAs far as I can tell, they may still be trying to call me, but I had to go to my phone carrier to have the number blocked.Guardian's communication policies are absolutely absurd and need an overhaulI should not have to go through a third party (like my landlord) or outside organizations (like the Revdex.com and FCC) to resolve a simple request like "STOP CALLING ME"Regards, [redacted] ***

July 29, RE: [redacted] – Complaint ID # [redacted] Dear Ms***: Thank you for forwarding Mr [redacted] additional comments to Guardian Protection Services, Inc(“Guardian”)Guardian has conducted a thorough review of Mr [redacted] account including a review of the telephone interactions with Mrand Mrs***(Please be advised that due to the nature of Guardian’s business, all customer telephone calls are recorded.) Guardian offers the following information in response to Mr [redacted] additional comments Mr [redacted] system was installed by Guardian on April 21, On April 23, at 2:37am (not April 22, as believed by Mr***) Guardian received notification from the system indicating a potential communication issue from the garage windowsGuardian’s representative recommended onsite service and explained to Mrs [redacted] that the first available appointment was on May 27, 2015, however she will place the service request at a priority level and request onsite service be conducted at an earlier dateMrs [redacted] acknowledged her understanding and accepted an appointment for May 27, Shortly thereafter, Guardian spoke with Mr [redacted] on April 23, and explained that Guardian had reached out to possibly move the service appointment to an earlier dateGuardian’s representative stated he would research the new service date and ask someone to contact Mr [redacted] with that informationMr [redacted] expressed satisfaction with this explanationPlease note, at no time during this conversation did Mr [redacted] express dissatisfaction related to the scheduling of onsite service, nor did he request that Guardian cease monitoring of his security system On April 25, 2015, Guardian spoke with Mr [redacted] who stated his system was not working properly and cited disappointment that onsite service was not scheduled to take place until May 27, Guardian’s representative assured Mr [redacted] that Guardian was working on having service rescheduled to an earlier dateIn good faith, Guardian’s representative applied a credit equal to one (1) month of monitoring for the inconvenienceAgain, at no time during this conversation did Mr [redacted] instruct Guardian to stop monitoring his security systemGuardian’s records indicate the Mr [redacted] did not request the cancellation of his account until May 4, Mr [redacted] letter cites dissatisfaction with two (2) steel doors which could not be contacted and “left an entire wall of my home unprotected, and it would give potential thieves two points of entry to my house not covered by alarms.” With all due respect, Mr [redacted] assertions are inaccurate Mr [redacted] sales representative is no longer employed by Guardian, therefore Guardian is unable speak directly with that individual related to the recommendations made during the sales consultationI did, however, speak directly with the technician who installed Mr [redacted] systemThe technician confirmed that upon arrival at the home, he found a steel door which led from the interior of the garage into the home and which could not be contacted with a wireless deviceNotwithstanding, the technician explained that all points of entry leading into the garage (i.ethe windows and overhead doors) were protected, thus any intrusion into the garage would be detected prior to entering the interior steel door at the subject of this discussionAdditionally, the technician explained that an exterior door from the loft was unable to be contacted with a wireless device due to its distance from the security panelAfter providing explanation to Mrs***, the technician recommended installing motion sensors which would detect any intrusion from this exterior loft doorMrs [redacted] agreed with the technician’s recommendation and the motion sensors were installed accordinglyBased on the above information, Guardian finds Mr [redacted] statement that the home was left unprotected to be false Additionally, I confirmed with the installation technician that he fully demonstrated the system and the cellular phone application to Mrs [redacted] and Mrs [redacted] mother prior to departing the residenceFurther, Mr [redacted] installation was the only appointment scheduled for the technician on that dateAt no time did the technician rush Mrs [redacted] through explanation of the system, nor did he state he had to “attend to another customer that was irate at his tardiness.” Guardian’s technician remained polite, professional and helpful at all times As previously stated, Guardian incurred significant cost in Mr [redacted] home by providing electronic security hardware, technical labor and other resources to install the alarm system, establish the account for monitoring and activate 24-hour monitoring servicesThese services were performed with the expectation that Guardian will recover its investment over the sixty (60) month term of Mr [redacted] AgreementIt is unreasonable for Mr [redacted] to expect Guardian to simply cancel his account without further payment The terms of Mr [redacted] Agreement state that he may cancel his account prior to the end of the initial term by remitting an early termination fee of $plus all amounts currently dueThat amount is currently designated to be $2,In good faith, Guardian has offered to waive the $early termination fee and accept payment of $2,to cancel Mr [redacted] account, which will allow Guardian to recover the cost of the equipment installed in Mr [redacted] home onlyGuardian believes this offer to be more than fairThis offer shall remain available to Mr [redacted] until close of business on August 19, Alternatively, the following proposal remains available to Mr [redacted] until close of business on August 19, as well 1) Guardian will reinstall all security monitoring equipment which was removed by Mr*** 2) Guardian will install commercial grade sensors on the steel door 3) Guardian will install a repeater to improve communication from the wireless devices at a greater distance from the panel 4) Guardian will apply a credit to Mr [redacted] account equal to three (3) months of monitoring service 5) Guardian will waive $assessed to Mr [redacted] account for returned payment fees 6) Following installation, should Mr [redacted] experience any operational issues with his system which Guardian is unable to correct after performing onsite service, Guardian will honor its Quality Installation Guarantee and allow Mr [redacted] to cancel his account without further payment Thank you for allowing Guardian to clarify this matter for all partiesShould you have any questions, please contact me directly at ###-###-####, ext [redacted] Sincerely, Andrew [redacted] Manager Customer Service Department
