will not cancel or mail info
I just got done reading over some of the complaints, and feel sick to my stomach. I too, am in the same situation. My family has moved and first tried to get them to mail us papers so that we may request that they move our equipment over. They said they would email them. That was weeks ago, and we have contacted them since and same answer, yet no email or form in the mail. The house that the equipment is in, will be going into foreclosure. Then after we havent had a response, we called today to see about cancelling and they said it would cost $1400!!! we never signed anything with CastleRock, it was a different company, and was apparently sold to castlerock. I am all for a lawsuit as well! They are crooks!

Right to cancel
Did you know this company has a F with the BBB? My three year contract was about to end and I wanted to cancel. I called and they told me the fax number was online and that I needed to submit my cancellation in writing. The fax number isn't posted on-line. I sent and e-mail asking for my policy to be canceled and that wouldn't suffice. I tried to terminate my contract but have to pay for the full year's service. This is crazy! I'm stuck with this assassin company for another year!
Other companies charge a $200 cancellation fee. Why would I want to give them another $1, 500 for services I don't want? Everyone beware of their faulty tactics and horrible customer service. They aren't willing to work with you, repair your equipment, or as promised, have a supervisor return a phone call. I will NEVER use them or any of their affiliates again. My trust in their business practices is gone!

Contract Cancellation
I have had a contract for home security for over 3 years. I called to cancel my contract befor the 30 days of the start of a new year. They said that I would have to send a letter stating that I was canaceling my contract. I sent the letter via mail. I noticed that they deducted my payment from my account the next month, therfore I called back and they said that they did not recieve my letter. It was 3 days after the start of a new year, but they said to go ahead and fax a letter and they would get back to me. They never did get back to me and i noticed the next month another charge from my account. I called to make sure they recieved the letter and they stated they did, but they could not cancel due to me not following the terms. They said that they had everything logged of when and that I did call before and that I called again and that they did not recieve the first letter. I have done everything according to the terms, but can not get away from them. I would never do business with this company and hope no one else does either.

CO Complaint
August 19, 2010
Auto Renewal Of Contract
It's sad to see that people have been reporting about this company for many years and that they remain in business. My experience has been the same. The company extended my contract to another year after I had clearly sent them a cancellation letter 30-days prior to the contracts end of service date. A new contract was not signed nor sent to me. I was unable to speak with a manager regarding cancellation. They continue to charge me for a monthly fee.
According to the BBB of Illnois, this is the link to the company's service rating:
http://www.bbb.org/chicago/business-reviews/security-systems-consultants/castlerock-security-in-arlington-heights-il-88361482
Steps that I am taking to complain and hopefully resolve the issue. PLEASE FOLLOW THE SAME STEPS. My hope is the more people who file complaints - the more action will be taken on Castle Rock Security.
1) Notify the BBB in Illinois and file a complaint. Online process.
https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/getstarted.aspx
2) Notify the Attorney Generals Office for the State of Illinois. Follow the link. At the top of the page "Click Here for a Consumer Complaint Form". You will need to download the PDF, fill it out and mail it in with supporting documents. Worth the trouble, it needs to be filed!
http://www.ag.state.il.us/consumers/index.html
3) Additionally, I contacted my state's Attorney Generals Office and filed a complaint. My state had an online process. Google your State Attorney Generals Office and submit a claim.
4) File a complaint with the FTC
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
4) Notify your bank, credit union or credit card company. You can dispute the fees directly with your financial institution. Additionally, if Castle Rock has a credit card or debit card number to your account for payment, notify your provider to issue a new card number to deny Castle Rock access to your account.
I WILL NOT TOLERATE MISLEADING BUSINESS PRACTICES AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL NOT EITHER. WE MUST ACT TOGETHER TO FIGHT THIS. PLEASE FILE COMPLAINTS.

Take Action Against Castle Rock Security
Everyone, please contact the Attorney General of Illinois, the BBB of Chicago and Northern Illinois, and the Attorney General of your state. Cancel your contracts. You can dispute the validity of claims made against your credit.
Don't forget about taking these people to small claims court, since they've done business in your state, you can take them to small claims court in your own county.
Also, see if your employer has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that offers discounted legal services.
It may take time and a lot of effort, but let's not be victims of unethical business practice or consumer fraud!

Account renewal
They take money out of my account on the 26th of every month for the last 3 years. They claim that they tried to contact us. They now say that since we did not cancel with them 30 days prior to the end of our contract that we are now automatically obligated for another year.

Seriously ?
August 12, 2010
Business Practices
I originally purchased the home alarm system from SAI, later was sold to Castle Rock. System worked for 3 years. When then started having chronic False alarms on one of the doors. Castle Rock was notified, they sent a tech, Still did not work. MOre False alarms. I disconnected it due to the fact the the city law enforcement threated me with $75.00 fee each time any further alarms were received. I continued to pay out for the remainder of the year as was the verbage on the agreement. I sent a letter to cancel. They confirmed they recieved it, but refused to cancell due to the letter was not received by the correct date. So I have been paying for a year of service that they did not provide due to THEIR EQUIPMENT FAILURES., and now they are telling me I have to pay for another year, while acknowledging the fact that they are not and cannot monitoring system. I have to pay because their equipment failed and propogated this entire scenerio ?
THEY HAVE LOST SITE OF THE FACT OF WHO IS THE CUSTOMER.
ITS APPARENT THEY DON'T CARE. STAY AWAY FROM ALL DOOR TO DOOR ALARM SYSTEM SALES PEOPLE. REGARDLES OF WHO THEY ARE. MOST ARE SO FULL OF &)*!%$ AND HOT AIR. THE WORDS THAT THEY SPEAK ARE NOT WORTHY OF THE AIR THAT THEY RIDE ON.

refusal of cancellation
Unless you have money to waste, I do Not reccomend this company. I was told that I needed to give a 30 day notice to end my contract. They did Not inform that it was to be 30 days prior to the end of my original contract. Now they say that I am stuck for another year. This is insult to injury seeing as how my alarm system has not worked in 2 years. They were not able to fix it from their computer, so they said I would have to pay some $100+ or renew my contract for 2 More years. In times like this, I cannot believe that they won't give a little to customers who paid on time for the duration of their original contract.

Called to cancel contract and was told contract has been extended for another year. My original contract was with APX. I had never received any correspondence from Castle Rock. Customer Service is rude and not helpful. I closed account they were debitting. I have registered a complaint with the Fraud dept, Illinois Attorney General, 100 West Randolph St., Chicago, IL 60601. Register your complaint so we can stop this fraudulant company!
