That is simply not true, friend.  Anyone who has a Brinks system can
only get service, parts and / or monitoring through Brinks.  Their
systems are proprietary.

> they are "bound" by the terms of the contract.

They are stuck because the salesmen *never* tell them the truth --
that the systems are leased and that they cannot get service
elsewhere.

> if they do not want to meet the terms, then don't sign.

The Brinks salesmen invariably misrepresent the agreement.  Many
homeowners have trouble understanding the agreement.  Many more,
unfortunately, are so swayed by the slick presentation that they fail
to read the thing before signing.  The slugs who infest the industry
(and this newsgroup) will surely respond that it's the customers' own
fault if they don't read.  While failing to read does expose people
to being taken advantage of, their would be no danger were it not for
the complete dishonesty of most Brinks salesmen, not to mention
Brinks itself.

Why is it so hard for alarm salesmen to understand that consumers are
trusting alarm companies with their families' safety and well-being
and that they ought to stop lying, cheating and taking advantage of
the public?

> what ever happened to people who actually PAY their bills??

What ever hapened to alarm salesmen who gave a rat's jiminex about
their customers?
