Do we have a contract or not?

Guardian Protection Services - Do we have a contract or not?
Updated by user Jul 28, 2022

Guardian Protection has contacted us. They have been very cooperative in correcting this matter. Thanks Dan, problem solved.

Original review Jul 27, 2022
BEWAREBOn June 25, 2022, we had an appointment with Brian "Security Technology Consultant", I ask if we could get a video doorbell and was told that would cost me $269. (We could get at less) no video doorbell.

Got "3-1-1" security system. We received e-mail thanking us for our payment. The e-mail also offered free video doorbell till 7/31/2022. Called Brian, "that promotion is over", "you don't qualify".

Next phone call, "I'll get back to you". Have never heard from Brian again. We have called main office and been told someone would call us within 24 hours, still have not talked to anyone. Install date was to be July 26 they called to reschedule for Aug.

9.

I believe this is now after the promotion date. Do we really want your service?

Would Never Recommend

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My husband and I bought our first home and made it VERY clear that we were first-time homebuyers and were very overwhelmed and unsure of the process of installation. All I knew if that I wanted a security system.

The man who installed the system had us sign the agreement on his phone and then never provided us with a copy of the contract.

A little while later we had a false alarm and was charged $40 by our local municipality because they said we were supposed to have a permit for the alarm, which we were never made aware of (again, first-time homebuyers).

When I called Guardian to discuss the issue, the customer service reps were rude and threw the contract in my face and said it was my responsibility.

I then proceeded to try and cancel and was surprised with a $1200 early termination fee, which we were never warned about. Now we're stuck in this contract for 5 years and stuck in this home because if we decide to move we either have to talk to new homeowners into taking over the awful contract or paying the $1200 fee to move the service.

All in all, Guardian Protection is just very sneaky and deceitful.

Preferred solution: Cancel contract without $1200 fee.

Hi, This is Guardian Protection. Unfortunately this review was posted to the wrong company.

We only offer professionally installed security systems. I believe you are looking for Guardian Products (GuardianProducts.com). We are not related to that company. Best of luck in getting things resolved.

Sure everyone and everything was safe and ok. Any time the alarm goes off THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO CALL AND ASK FOR SECURITY CODE AND CHECK TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS SAFE. They did not.

Hi Connie, Your device indicated a trouble issue and Guardian would like to repair or replace this for you at no charge. I understand our professional technician was scheduled to visit your home on April 26 but was unexpectedly delayed at a previous appointment.

I understand you weren’t able to permit him to provide the service at your home at a later time that afternoon and that you preferred to reschedule. We hope to hear from you soon so that we can restore this device for you. Please call us as soon as possible at 1-800-PROTECT (800-776-8328).

After a few tough first months of service the service has been satisfactory. When the crook signed us up he did say that it was a 5 year contract but that contractually they would only be able to hold us to 2 years. Called today to cancel service and was told there would be an early cancellation fee of $1800. Should of known better. My bad

Long time customer gets the SHAFT

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've been a loyal customer for almost 10 years, paying the inflated monitoring costs to cover the cost of equipment. Even at 8 years of service, I have paid over $6500 in fees.

I would think that they have definitely recovered their expenses in the equipment I have. I had an issue with a router and 2 of my cameras were not working. So, because we are a WORKING FAMILY, I had to wait over a week for service on a Saturday. The service guy came and was a TOTAL JERK.

There was an issue with the router and power. He did absolutely nothing but restore power and the cameras came up. "Here - I need your signature" - unknown to me a bill for $115! The technician had an attitude from the moment he drove in the driveway.

So, I call customer service and ..... NOTHING!

I really liked this company when I got the system but it's obvious, they have grown, been bought out or whatever and have NO concept of customer service! Word to the wise, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GUARDIAN PROTECTION.

Updated by user Sep 27, 2019

Original review Aug 28, 2019
My 85 year old widowed mother-in-law, Patsy, lives in a house that my wife and I built and own. Patsy entered a drawing for, what she thought, was a free security system.

She "won" the drawing and ended up getting the system installed, signing a contract, and then finding out she had to pay a monthly fee, and was locked into a multi-year contract. She does not use the system and wants it removed. The system was installed without our permission and we want it removed.

This company refuses to discuss this with me because I do not have the password that my 85 year old mother-in-law cannot remember. If you need a security system, look somewhere else.

I was contacted by Guardian and spoke with a very professional, kind and understanding lady named Debbie. I now understand that this system was not installed by Guardian.

Guardian only provides the monitoring service. Never-the-less, Guardian has stepped up to the plate and provided a solution to this problem that is, quite frankly, beyond my expectation.

My mother-in-law is very pleased. With the professional manner in which Guardian resolved this situation, I have changed mind and would recommend considering Guardian to anyone needing a security system.

Guardian solved the problem

I am pleased to have received a call from a very kind, understanding and professional lady by the name of Debbie. She explained to me that Guardian did not install this particular system, but only provides the monitoring service. With that said, Debbie went to work and provided a solution to our problem that was, frankly, beyond my expectations. No fighting, no arguing. Debbie resolved the problem quickly. There will always be an occasional misunderstanding in business, and it all depends on how the company deals with the situation. The way Debbie handled this causes me to change my evaluation of Guardian and say that I would be willing to do business with them in the future and recommend same.

Horrible company. I signed 3 year contract they are telling me I signed 5 year contract I know for a fact I only signed for 3. They have not supplied documents confirming this. If this is the case the salesman lied several times during his sales pitch. Horrible customer service and lie after lie. Several other people in my community have had same issue with this company.

Faulty video cameras and very poor responce

I had some people casing the homes in my area and one night someone parked in front of my house and got out of car and went up to everyone's house with a flash light looking into windows in houses . I was told next day by neighbor and I went to review my cameras and found three cameras with the night vision not working ( could not see anything from cameras ). These cameras are a little over a year old. I called customer support and told them I need someone at my house to resolve issues right away and they scheduled something 11/2 weeks later ( I also told them to make sure to bring cameras with technician so he could change out ). He came today and have no cameras and now I do not know when anyone will be back and I still have the problem. . this is the worse support I ever seen, to tell them of my issue and to take this long and they know of the se issue. What am I paying for maybe that's why they are not number 1

Always a ADT customer, Moved TO NC and Guardian was for my new builder. The installed the cameras high so could not even view anything, the wiring was horrible. They have a box with the wiring and the wiring is awful, a child could have done this. In addition, the is no saving of videos, what waste. Horrible

Buyer Beware! Every time Guardian does anything and I mean anything you are locked into yet another contractual agreement.

You are forever under contract or pay the Buy Out amount. Either way you are screwed. Right now I am paying $41.99/month and I don't even have an installed system.

I'm paying until the contract is paid off but are receiving zero security protection. Nice way to do business.

Hello, Guardian makes a large upfront investment when installing or upgrading a system; the signed agreement helps us recoup those investments over time and is an agreement for you to have services for that amount of time. If we can help explain any further please email wecare@gpsx.net, thank you!
