Please log in for more thread options Alarm Services Group, Inc.". located at, 4545 Spring Mountain Rd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89102. They have increased their rate last month by $5 for the residents of Fremont California. When you ask for canceling your service, they say that the 2-year contract that you signed five years ago, are automatically re-newed by itself each year on the anniversary date of your contract. You are stuck with their rate increase and they have forced you their services if you miss a tiny 30 day cancellation period. I am going to see a lawyer to file a class action lawsuit against Integrated Alarm Services Group. They can not force us to pay extra $5 charge for their so called "added security/verified response". They need to stop being EVIL. If they were a decent company they would have asked the customers to opt-in for the added security and give the customers a choice if they want to opt-in or not. But, apparently they are forcing the customers and all the Fremont, California (and Modesto Calif.) to opt-in to their rate increase. Also, their content of their service contract is evil. After a two year contact, it automatically gets re-newed for the next 12 month and you only have a tiny 30 day period to cancel the next year's contract, and if you miss it, guess what, you are stuck with them. Avoid these crooks if you can. Regards, Kish | ||||||||||||||||

>Or actually READ and abide by the contracts you sign. Or cancel early and on time. The OP did not do something and the rest of the world is a villainous evil crook. He will not get ( I'm no lawyer ) a judge to declare the case "class action", because all folks failed to follow the cancellation policy. He woke up with turds in his corn flakes and is pissed. -- Oren "I don't have anything against work. I just figure, why deprive somebody who really loves it." | ||||||||||||||||

In most cases where there is provision for periodic rate increases the client has the option to cancel if the increase is not acceptable. Otherwise they could arbitrarily decide to raise the rates by $100 per month and you'd have to pay it. If the contact allows them to raise the price without notice and without you having the right to cancel, any court in the land would strike it down as "unconscionable." Note, however, that the 30-day cancellation notice is the minimum. In other words, you can cancel any time *before* the last 30 days of the term. Many alarm companies require 60 days' notice. That is actually worse for the client than the 30-day term in your agreement. > I am going to see a lawyer to file a class action
> lawsuit against Integrated Alarm Services Group... You can do that if you like. However, if the town has instituted a requirement for verified response and that causes the alarm company to incur added operational costs, it may be difficult for you to prevail. Most alarm monitoring agreements include a clause allowing the alarm company to pass along to the customer any added cost due to taxes or governemental regulations. This may seem unfair but without it the alarm company could be forced to opperate at a loss (worst case scenario). To be clear, I'm not defending your alarm company's actions -- just explaining the contractual basis for what they are doing. Without benefit of having read your particular contract I can only surmise what is in it but the things I mentioned are pretty standard in this industry. I hope you are able to resolve this issue to your satisfaction. Best of luck with it. -- Regards, Robert L Bass =============================>
