Carla Palmdale, CA

My issue with my doorbell is still unresolved and when I call in it is only a temporary fix. Need to get on the phone again with your technical support and hope that you will send a technician once and for all otherwise after a year of service I guess I need to find another provider.

Beware, please read the other reviews about how Protect America will continue to automatically charge your account even after your contract is over. They will also shake you down for $5 to terminate your service even after you have fulfill your contract. They are shady

I have tried several times to get in touch with their customer service team to start service. I have sat on hold for literally an hour each time before hanging up. I've called three times. I'm moving on to the next business. If my time is not important to you then your business is not important to me.

Will not honor original contract. After 3 years, they say they do not have to honor the agreement made with me by the company that installed it. Now, they refuse to cancel my services, saying that I must give 30 days notice. They didn't give me 30 days before refusing to honor my original contract.

Moni Security System has the worse customer service and for service , In all my years of living I have never seen a service so poor. Actually they are the worse, they do not even respond to a problem. Thank god I have my sig Sauer 45 ACP. That is my security system because Moni just cares about the all mighty dollars and not the customer. So sad.

MONItronics is a nightmare to deal with. Their system is the bare minimum and easily defeated. Their billing is terrible. And, they screw you at renewal time on the contract. I get robocalls from their advertising department at least once a week --- a I am already a customer (but wish I was not)!

I have had to pay for service that I have not gotten for 4 months and will only be credited for one month. They cancelled and rescheduled appointments without notifying me, so I missed time off work. last I knew a contract was a legal binding document. I guess not in this case because I was not at fault, they were.

Alarm was installed improperly. $49 a month for 2 years. Police called 5 times for no reason . Didn't use anymore. They won't turn it off and still charging. Will not cancel account. I am taking them to small claims court and let a judge decide. Even if I lose it is worth the time and money to have the company exposed for what they are.

Long on-hold time when you call for tech support. You have to repair equipment yourself, and you must give them 30 days advance notice to cancel or they will charge you, as they did me, for an extra month. Protect America protects their bottom line.

I had Brinks for at least 10 years. The service is horrendous and some reps are rude. They honestly do not care and the managers do not call back. The agents from Asia do not speak English well. It was so stressful to deal with them that I cancelled the service. They offered me a discount and I said that I did not want the service even if it was free! This company cannot be trusted. My alarm went off and when I called Brinks they put me on hold for 10 min and the Asian rep could not answer my questions. Avoid them at all costs!
