Pest control

I talked to you a month ago when you said you needed my credit card again. You already had it.

I then told you I no longer needed your services. You kept dogging me about the $50.You had my credit card but today i updated it again for you so you could charge me 50 +the late fee.

You call me every morning at 8 to remind me.

I have just given you the number since you are so incompetent that you keep bothering me for the number that you used monthly to deduct more and more from my account. And I haven't seen a pest control guy in months.

so, I have paid you off. As I told you on the phone , stop.

Don't come anymore. I don't need your services Stop

Unauthorized contract renewal

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

i recently attempted to cancel service with this company. I called and also put in writing as required.

I asked for my contract. It was sent to me by my agent ( not customer service). They sent me an agreement from august of 2020. This was over 9 months after I started with them minimum.

In august of 2020 I added 2 cameras to my EXISTING SERVICE . In fact.... the cameras were $100 a piece according to hawk and paid for directly by me. Not once at any point in time did this company inform me that adding cameras would restart an agreement with them.

This was at best case unethical.

On top of that...i have changed companies and hawk s telling me that that will continue billing me FULL amount of security and leave account open for a service i am no longer using with them. Im befuddled and will make sure to spread the word about their company

Dishonest Sales People and Obercharging on Equipment Purchas

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Hawk Security and Alarm.com continued to Bill me for security equipment that had a fixed price and was to be paid off in 3 years. I have a contract for the service and one for the equipment with a breakout of charges. They continued to Bill me once the equipment was paid in full saying that I should have called in for a rate reduction. Now if I have a contract that states I am buying equipment at a fixed price why would I call for a rate reduction after the three years? My equipment is paid in full. Based on what I was told and the contracts separating the service and the equipment, this looks to me like fraud in the execution. It’s been a while since I studied and worked in a field that involved contract review, and heavy analysis of the UCC regarding the financing of goods, but once I do my due diligence I hope to be able to pin point some violations in my favor.

New to Alarm Systems/South Ft Worth Area

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Chris came up to me as I was getting home. I had 3 other security system sales people before him. I was not planning on getting one but, he wasn't pushy and within 5 min of our conversation we were laughing. He was down to earth and was in blue jeans and a company shirt. The others were in dress clothes and just didn't seem like they were on a personal level, more like all business. I like that he was relaxed and was able to answer all my questions. I was able to contact im and he personally delivered a hat back to our home later. He was great. P.S. We were able to use all the stuff i the house from previous owners. One of the sensors were causing the alarm to go off. They made an appointment. After that the e-mailed me with details. in the e-mail was the name experience level and all the details including a picture of the tech who would be out to fix the issue. I really liked that. I knew the name and the face of the person who would be in my house. Nice touch Hawk!!

Great Customer Service

Whenever I have had any issue with my Hawk security system (a couple of problems with the doorbell and wi-fi connection), Gail Sarap has been outstanding! She provides excellent customer service and always responds quickly to bring about a resolution to the situation.

Equipment monitoring has not worked for 6 mo

Do not use this security service. Any iPhone app with camera would work better. No service. No one to call to fix. Unfortunately they have 2 year contracts. As a fellow business owner, please do not do service with Hawk. I have paid $150/mo for nothing x 1.5 years...I could have bought an online program with all the bells and whistles for a lot less.

Hawk / Interface are liars!

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

I was kicked out of the building I ran my business out of for 12 years because it was sold out from under me. I moved all of my belongings out and the last thing I did was removed the alarm system.

I called the 800 number on the keypad to let them know that I was moving to a new location and I needed to transfer my system over to the new address. They sent a guy out who had me sign a contract, the set up the system and about a week or two later is when I find out that Hawk and Interface are no longer the same company?? Hawk never told me about this, they acted like they were the same company throughout the meeting I had with the rep, he never once told me they were not the same company anymore. Now I am being billed by Interface for nearly 1200 dollars for an early termination fee??

How can they do this to me? They never told me they were getting a divorce! They never changed the equipment to update the numbers to Interface! The numbers were Hawk and that was who I thought was my security company!!!!!!

Now they are taking me to collections because I refuse to pay them for screwing me over like this! I will file a report with the FTC and the better business bureau.

I was not in an "unhappy mood". What's mood have to do with the facts?

Hawk and interface security lies to their customers! That's a known fact.

Does me using an explanation point indicate to you that I'm in an "unhappy mood"? I think not.

I was also lied to. I was told by a service guy that my system was old and out of date (I live in a new house) and that the issues I was experiencing were due to that fact.

I had this new system installed, increased my monthly bill and signed a new contract. The next week the issue persisted... new system and all!

I have contacted the company to resolve the issue 4 times. They have yet to fix it and are rude when I call.

They don't care about their customers. It's obvious they do not care about you or me either. I'm surprised the other customers they rip off aren't complaining too.
