I signed up with a company called Vision in April 2013 in Aptil 2014 Northstar bought my contracts ( I have 3 acccounts) A week ago someone broke into my one of my properties and I recieved no notification. When I called to find out why I was on the phone for over 5.5 hours (mostly on ignore) and was hung up on 6 times. I finally learned that when they bought Vision 2 of my accounts were set up with Northstar But, one was not (they billed me every month for service they didn't provide). They have an idiotic billing system where each account must be on a separate bill and must be paid by separate Check (I have refused to give them the CC they wanted, insisting on monthly billing). I have filed out the claim form they promised would be answered and resolved in3 days it has now been more than a week. They owe me for 34 months of payments, which I doubt I'll see unless I pursue in court.

Horrible service. Contract limits competition by automatic renewals. Seems like a violation of antitrust laws. I replaced my system with another company and it took over 6 hours for Northstar to contact me.

We were unable to lock our house and we have called several times to set up an appointment. Nobody shows up between the window nor at all. We keep getting the run around and we are paying for a system that doesn’t work.

This company uses extremely deceptive practices to lock you into contract after contract. They will tell you there is a required equipment upgrade that you must agree to, that extends your contract 36 months. They will require written notice months ahead of when the contract ends and then lie to you about when they need it by. The only way out of the contracts they have tricked yo into is to pay them in full up front. We have paid nearly a year for service on a house we no longer live in, that no one is using, and now they say we must pay 18 months more. RUN from this company.

Said they would fix our security system with a renewed contract and they didn’t. 2 years later no security system and I have to pay $2400 out of pocket to switch to another company that is competent. This is after 20 phone calls and finally talking to their top customer service rep who saw that there was no alarm set for 2 years. He said sorry for the inconvenience but when can we get our money.... no one was ever sent out to fix the system. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS TOXIC SLUDGE OF A BUSINESS!!

Northstar is not a good alarm company. Why well let me tell you why!!!!! They scam people. They never tell you that you have to send a cancellation letter 60 days prior to when your contact is up or it will roll over another 5 years!!!!! And you can’t cancel it unless you pay the 199.00. They will not fix a sensorif there’s something wrong with it. You have to pay for someone to come check it out!!!! My alarm would go off all the time for no apparent reason all hours of the night. Please don’t waist your money on them

They are basically scammers. I was talked into signing with them. Had crappy service. Moved from a home I lived in 40 years and couldn't take the awful system. They charged me $99 to REINSTALL a system I didn't have. I am a widow on social security barely making it but they take $47 every month, and I don't have the system! It has been a nightmare to get them NOT to automatically renew my contract. They are scumbags!

They are not upfront, there service in Co is minimal, my system is always having issues..I asked there sales manager, took a bit for him to answer. Finally he told me.But I have to give them a 90 d notice, if not my contract extends automatic. I asked why." Because it's in the Contract. That's BS.. I don't recall agreeing to that..maybe it's in the fine Print.. misrepresentation

I have had the service for 7 months now and love the doorbell camera. But that is the limit I never received a contract which NorthStar promises to send me monthly. The prior service has never cancelled and I owe over $500 to them. My Sales Rep, Tyson, promised me that NorthStar would cancel the old contract. It has been one Lie after another and I would never recommend them to anyone.

It doesn't work!! I've had a ring camera, and a camera in my house for the past year and they have worked maybe a total of 2 months. I've gotten them replaced after replaced, I was told my internet is phenomenal and high speed (I got it changed because the first time Northstar tried to blame my internet) and they still don't work. Each time after getting a new one they only work for about a week, then they stop working again. I've wasted so much money with Northstar!

I sincerely detest this company! I want to cancel but they refuse to let me cancel! They are far too expensive for those on a fixed income. Besides this, they did not provide the services they promised originally. And the system would go off all on it's own. It was terrifying to hear the piercing alarm go off in the middle of the night! A technician was sent out after numerous complaints and the flaw was fixed, but the service is still too expensive!!! I really hate this company and am locked into their awful 5 year contract.

Worst company ever listen to all the bad reviews! They speak the truth. I regret getting them as my security company. They make you feel special for the first year and as years pass quality of service declines. My whole system isn't even working right but they want to charge me 130$ just to come get it back online. So much for lifetime guarantee. On the top list of security companies they are at the bottom. And its no wonder... Hope they go under! They deserve it! Switching to ADT asap!

I was in a five(5)yr contract with them paying a high amount of $57 monthly automatic deduction from my bank account and then I wasn't able to cancel because they stated I was in a automatic renewal, that I have to write a 60 day written notice of cancellation. The team they have is very unprofessional that didn't respond back to any of my emails or calls. There is no life time warranty on the equipment if you are no longer with them, so if any sensors break do not waste your time.

1 star is too high of a rating. Our equipment has never worked properly, and they have never made any effort to try and fix it. I have been trying to cancel our alarm for several months now, and they won't respond to any of the written correspondence (using the email address they told me to send the cancellation request to). They won't cancel by calling over the phone. If you want an alarm that works, and a company that will cancel when you request it, stay far away from Northstar.

Liar and crooks! They trick you my telling you something about a 18 month renew (which make you think this is the term of contract). Additionally, they use 60 days and 60 months to misled you on the actual contract in five years. I called within 60 days to canceled and that when they stress that you signed a 60 month contract. Now they only wants to talk about how you signed the contract and how it is your responsibility to read the contract. The worst consumer service I have ever experience.

Giving them a 1 star is generous. If it was an option I wouldn't give them any. First of all when the salesman came to our home he didn't disclosed right away that he was from this company. He made it seem like he was from ADT (our previous home security system). He was

Horrible experience started right after the ink on the contract dried. Customer service is terrible, billing department takes 2 days to call back, no supervisors available, it's like they're stuck in the 90's. Biggest mistake I've made regarding a provider for my home.

Committed fraud to get me into a 5-year contract, when I insisted I would not go above 3. Changed the contract to 3 on the top page of the carbon pack, but apparently used a shield so the under copies said 5. Also contract said it was signed day 6 of 19th month.
