Had a previous issue with Guardian that they said was being rectified (see previous review). They had been receiving faults/alarms on one sensor repeatedly for weeks according to customer service. They did not notify me of this issue, didn't call to find the source of the issue. I had no idea that there was a problem with the sensor as nothing showed on my panel. Finally, it caused an alarm; Guardian sent out the police dept. The police dept fines for false alarms. Since Guardian did not notify me of the issue (which could have been dealt with prior to the false alarm), the customer service rep advised they would waive the $25 service fee. I am now getting calls from Guardian saying my $25 copay (from December's service call) is overdue. The rep repeatedly told me this was a "valid charge" and that I was notified prior to service. I was notified that the fee would be waived due to their negligence. I told the rep to review the account records and see which supervisor called to rectify the issue with their service tech not honoring the service agreement regarding my keyfob (the source of the problem signals). And, to see which customer service rep I spoke to regarding the service fee bing waived as it was from December 2013 and I did not remember her name. He just kept repeating that "this is a valid charge and it is overdue". I refuse to pay a $25 fee when their negligence cost me a fine from my local police dept. If the sensor is malfunctioning, I deserve some sort of call so I know to correct the issue
Description of Work: Waived service fee due to not notifying customer of sensor issues/alarms. Now, after service call is complete (December 2013) they are saying the service fee is overdue and want it paid.
