Re: CPI Security?

You should have 72 hour right of recision...most states do..just cancel =
and go with a company that doesn't base your monitoring rate on your =
credit score.

You landlord's credit should have no bearing on you buying a =
system...it's just bullshit. CPI's contract would be with you not  your =
landlord.
