.........read the contract!!!!



 I just recently realized that our alarm hasn't actually been working
properly. It looks like it's working, but we recently discovered it's not.
Do you think Brinks ever bothered to call us with a "Is everything OK? We
noticed you haven't set your alarm in 6 months?

..........why have an alarm if you're not gonna set it for 6 MONTHS????
that's like paying for
cable, but not owning a television set!!!!
it's not up to them to make sure you use your alarm!!!
you are required by contract to test your system monthly....should Brinks
hold your hand and come to your house every month to make sure
you do what you're supposed to????



  No, they just continue to send the bill. When a new city ordinance
required homes with alarms to get a permit, did Brink notify me? Yes, 1
month AFTER the ordinance was in effect, and 3 weeks AFTER I got fined by
the city for a false alarm.

..........it's up to YOU to know what your city requires!!!
