Cost is double listed value, at nearly $60 per month. Regular mistakes in billing result in additional fees you will be forced to call to correct, nearly monthly, even with automated billing. Technicians and customer service reps are competent but hamstrung.

Trying repeatedly to cancel my Brinks account to no avail. Originally with Envision but Brinks bought the account. The service dates back at least 2 years, possibly 3 prior to my husband's passing in 8/2018. At 88 I have the desperate feeling that they will be trying to collect from me after I am dead.

Moved into a house that had a protect American system. They advertise $20-$40 monthly but couldn't offer that low of a price. When I changed a battery on a window alarm the alarm went off and they wouldn't tell me the code to turn it off unless I signed up for service. It was torture and probably bad for our kids hearing.

Brinks took over my security company. They started to nickle and dime my account with hidden charges that I did not see. "Cost Recovery Fee" = allegedly communications and firewall security charge. $1.99 for a paper billing? I am going to cancel and go elsewhere just to send a message that power billing is NOT acceptable. (Customer since 2012)

Ivo, We still are the security company you have started as we simply rebranded our name to Brinks Home Security. We have always had this associated charge on every customers account. We also have the option to do electronic billing in order to have the paper-statement fee waived. In addition if you have automatic billing then you would receive that fee either. We value our long time customers like yourself and we apologize any misinformation provided to you in this matter. I have located your account with us and will be investigating this matter to see whom you spoke with about this matter. -Jacob B

My mother in law is moving to a retirement community, when I tried to cancel the service the rep was very rude and kept saying she must payout the contract extension. They had a 90 year old woman sign a contract extension for 4 years and now want payment in full. Over $1,100.00. This is senior abuse at it's worse.

Honestly one of the worst companies. They basically do nothing before and after your contract period, do nothing to keep you until you actually quit, and then they charge you for an extra month of service at the end because it takes the 30 days to close your account for some reason. Never been happier to quit a company.

Tyler, We never mean for a customer to feel like they want to cancel because of the price. In regards to being "Bought", we weren't purchased by Brinks, we simply rebranded our name. We strive to ensure our customers are satisfied with there system based off of there needs and we leave it up to the customer to decide if its time for an upgrade. The reason being is because most customers don't like change unless they feel they need to and we want to respect that. Our customer loyalty team is dedicated in ensuring a customer knows there options before cancelling there account. We are happy to assist you in the resolution to this matter. I have located your account and I will be sure to reach out to you Thursday. -Jacob B
