Your other alternative is to pay for monitoring and service through a
local company ...... then you wouldn't have anything like this to
worry about.

It's not called Murphy's law. It's called ..... trying to get
something for nothing and then finding out that you don't get
something for nothing.

This doesn't justify your old alarm company holding back on your
codes, but even if you had them, it's very likely that you'd mess up
the program because you don't know what your doing. If you'd like to
pursue it, you could see an attorney, but you'd have to pay more than
it would cost for a replacement panel.

You might want to eat crow and ask your old company to start
monitoring you again if they'll come out and reset your panel for
free.

Only you can know how far you want to pursue this.
