Nothing resolved. They did not care and continue to send a monthly billing statement, which we continue to pay every month for the next following several years. I can't believe they can get away with this. This is robbery without a weapon. We continue to pay because we don't want to hurt our credit rating.
Description of Work: They were to activate our new home alarm system which they did. However, the sales person told us about all the bells and whistles and what a great company they are is full of lies. They never told us about the contract. Never brought up the idea if we were unhappy with their service that we could terminate. We had their service for 2years and we needed to sell our home due to family illness. We were able to sell the home finally. I had contacted Devcon and explained the situation that we no longer own the home and would like to cancel the service. After going back and forth with no communication to be had, they said we signed a 5year contract which we were never made aware of even though we don't own the home nor even live there. Talked to a supervisor which was not willing to work with us. Bluntly said your wife signed the contract and that's it. I told him that the sales person never informed my wife about the duration of the contract. They obviously do not care about their customers which says a lot that they would not even consider some early termination fee. Their service is horrible AND customer service is lacking. Watch what you sign with this company. They are a bunch of liars and scams.. Strongly urge everyone not to do business with these thieves.

I have to admit, I got suckered by a door to door sales guy. He was good and convinced me that I could cancel at anytime and I didn't read the fine print as I signed up for a 3 yr commitment. Soon found out the price was about double ADT but when I tried to cancel like the sales rep said I could, I was informed I had a 3 yr contract. Signed a contract for service with Devcon but after the first month, was billed by Pinnacle Security and now my account was sold to Monitronics! I am stuck with 2.5 years left on a contract with a company I did not even sign up with! I have no idea how that is even legal. Furthermore, there is a major issue with a sensor installation that leaves a major security hole in the coverage but I was told it could not be corrected.
Description of Work: Installation was quick and smooth. I guess the service works - I don't know, the alarm has never been tripped. Major issues with contract and my account being sold (see below)

The Citrus county service was never cancelled as requested and continues to be billed. Devcon insists that we must pay for the remainder of the Citrus county contract period even though we installed a new Devcon system in Gulfport.
Description of Work: We had two homes in Citrus County both secured with Devcon. We moved to Gulfport and contacted Devcon to cancel out Citrus county service and arranged to secure our home in Gulfport. What a nightmare. Devcon customer service is terrible. Their departments don't communicate with each other so getting Devcon to understand a problem you are having is almost impossible.

This is much different than my initial review of the company. But once they heard of the extreme problems we were experiencing, they went above and beyond to correct the situation. At this point, I would recommend them to friends.
Description of Work: After having major difficulties with our alarm system install, the regional manager, Rene, came out to correct the situation. He assessed our system that was installed a few months prior, and deemed it necessary to replace pretty much every sensor in the house. We had tried to adapt a pre-installed system to a current wireless one, and it did not communicate properly. After Rene’s visit, a technician came out just a few days later to do the job properly this time. We had every sensor replaced, and added a few more devices, to make our alarm system as complete as possible. Since then, our security system has worked flawlessly. I am very pleased at this time and feel quite secure in my home.

I have been trying to fax documents on two different fax machines.
Description of Work: Once you are in a contract, trying to communicate to customer service is near impossible. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
