I have had Protection One since Nov. 2008 and have had nothing but problems since going with them.

Every bill I get is wrong and I keep getting charged misc. charges that I have already paid!

I was out of town for over a month and my alarm was 'shut off', un beknownst to me.

I called in about the unusually large bill and they told me I had to pay six months in advance, are you kidding me? Because I missed ONE month?

Then, I wasn't even setting the damn thing and for two weeks it would go off in the middle of the night, I kept calling in and they said it was my cell phone tower????? Are we on the same planet? I didn't set the alarm people!!

They instructed me how to disconnect it, which, for a girl is difficult and sucked. Then, to reconnect was more than enough trouble.

So, they sent out a tech who said the wiring from the beginning was messed up and spent most of the day out here.

I talked to one lady in particular who finally got everything straightened out, promised my bill was set and I wouldn't have additional charges, if I did, call her only.

1 month later I get a bill for over $200, are you serious? I can't wait to get rid of this company!

I did for TWO WEEKS with no return call.

Finally someone else calls, rude as can be, says I just renewed my contract, are you out of your mind????

Now they say I have to pay the last 4 months when I have a bill saying it has been paid!!

I wish I had a lawyer to help me because this is highway robbery.

Does anyone know who 'governs' the alarm companies, like the FTC, etc?

I know I can complain to the BBB but I need to go beyond. I have of course faxed a letter to the supervisor but it is like talking to a brick wall.

Any advice of who helps protect consumers in this field would be appreciated, thank you!!
