Disgusting company. Monthly prices going up for no reason. Sold a system with alarm, sensors, cameras, call monitoring etc and were told we could just cancel monthly call monitoring cost if we felt we no longer needed it and that the system was ours. MISSOLD!!!! We tried cancel the monthly cost and told we have to pay for the equipment which we were sold as ours, £99.00 for the alarm, £149.00 per camera which can be purchased elsewhere for£99.00 by the way! Verbally mislead I will be taking legal advice and reporting to Rip off Britain.

My advice is do not sign up. The prices are not transparent. 2 chaps were in my home going over ( and over) the products/service for hours, I live on my own. On the face of it it seemed quite good. Seen the adverts. I read the documentation BE AWARE ( I wish I had been) the set up and connection fee which is what you pay for there and then DOES NOT include the equipment. I was lied to by the sales rep and told this does. When you cancel the direct debit for the monitoring service they remove all the equipment as well unless you pay a further fee £99 + de installation costs. I feel totally misled...... please learn from my mistake . The rep was dishonest, the whole thing is misleading. It's not what it seems, you have been warned, I wish I had been. Lost alot of money. Oh and by the way the rep gives you his direct number. I signed up in September, his number is now unobtainable, funny that. False promises and not price transparent. Fees will go up each year. It will cost you. As advised dont sign up. Goodluck

I have no such words to describe this service. They do not deserve even one star. I received a very poor service. The amount of stress they caused made me unwell. My blood pressure was so high and I was experiencing palpitations. Therefore, I ended my contract in February 2023 all cameras were removed. I paid what I owed them before removing the cameras. I just received another monthly bill to pay. This service is awful and they do not communicate with each other. I would not recommend this service at all.

***Mis-sold*** engineer stated it would work alongside the business one it does'nt They said if you cancel the monitoring subscription alarm will still work and fobs will work. They don't. Told to ring up on 6 of Feb to cancel without penalty. They now have said no you have to pay 60 days. Asked for invoice over 30 days ago but nothing has arrived. I have since asked them to remove the equipment that you Pay £395 for but they want to remove it and keep the £395

I am not even a customer but Verisure put up a security system on my property (I am the sole owner) because someone who had no legal right to do so signed a contract with them. When I informed them that they had actually criminally damaged my property they didn’t seem to care! I have now involved the police

Verisure cold caller persueded my 87 year old disabled,widowed ,confused mother in law she needed a Verisure system when she didnt it was mis-sold but he would not leave the house until she signed a contract., took over £600 from her and lied to her about costs of running it. The system never worked and by the time we found out about what they had done the cooling off period had passed. Verisure have now removed the products but refuse to give her any money back,this company prey on the vunerable, Do Not get involved with this company,it is a prime example of Rip off Britain.

Purchase veisure alarm system and paid nearly £400 . We have been Misold the alarm system by this company. We purchased these in good faith and was not once told that these item have to be returned when we cancel our subscription. And if we downgrade the subscription we have to pay £99. We've had this system installed over 2 years ago,the membership just keeps rising and becoming very expensive! I am absolutely disgusted and would not recommend this company to anyone.

Well I thought all was OK but I have een fortunate not to be burgled during the last 4 years. I was sold the system some foe years ago while in Costo. Sales rep said after 12moths the system would be mine whether I chose to stay or not but had to give 3 mths notice. Originally quoted £25per mth. However once installed and didn't cover the out building they said it would (had to add separate alarm ourselves for that). The costs was £30 odd quid and gone up about every 6mths since. Increased in Nov now to £42 . I complained told they would reduce it . However this was implemented and in Jan want to put it uo to £48. Gave notice via email and messenger. Verisure wouldn't accept that said I ha to speak to someone for data protection reasons. Bumccome. And of course NO ONE CALLS you back within 5 to 7 days. I had that covered as sent an recorded letter of cancellation. NOW they want £99 to downgrade or will remove FREE. Hold on the ruipment is MINE and I was told I could keep it and use it on a basic level through my ozone but would not be monitored . I could just set it still from my ozone and fobs. Well as soon as I gave notice I can't use the app and now told this is not the case. £99 to keep it and will only work on fob I can't use ANY apps to co tr remotely. DONT BE RIPPED OFF. I am taking up with trading standard and would encourage other to do the same

Service is terrible waiting in TWICE for service engineer to come out and never arrived to refit sensors on windows. Full of promises and no response from customer service and no response on phone. Worst service ever and I am now cancelling my direct debit so you can sing for your money.

Worst experience ever, misleading and harassing personnel to the limit of bullying. Don't sign up till you read the full contract, we were told that all the equipment installed will be ours, as we paid £330 for the installation, which was a complete lie, also we were told there was no commitment to stay to tell me later I had to give 2 months notice, and when I gave them notice after 6 months they ignored my email, even the chat I had with them regarding the cancellation of my service was also ignored, giving me the most ridiculous reason, that they could not raise the order of cancellation because I did not give them a reason for the cancellation, my reason is simply that I am free to decide if I want to keep a service or cancel it. now I am being harassed to pay for 2 extra months because they did not want to cancel my service even after giving them notice several times, by mail, and chat, if you ever sign up with them, do not believe what they tell you, read the contract to the last small letter, because they can do or say whatever to make sign up, to find out later, most of it is a complete lie, respectful companies don't scam their customers!!!!

They’re advertising that they have police response but our insurance required a URN which they could not produce because they are not accredited. Their PIR’s have cameras in which they cannot prove are NOT being watched by their call centre staff. Their devices can be jammed and bypassed without notification with a blank £3 garage door fob from Amazon, there’s even a YouTube video showing people how to do it. They sell a subscription and the equipment is never yours, you pay endlessly for low grade devices that aren’t fit for purpose. Had a real alarm Fitted by an accredited company, no subscription with an app too!

I have been a verisure customer for approx 18 months. I was unfortunately burgled this week and the verisure system completely failed. (Cameras not triggering, zero visibility does not operate). Everything is promised to you on installation and almost all turns out to incorrect. It also seems incredible that an alarm and security company does not actually employ and guards. This is sub-contracted and so guards will never visit properties or incidents, instead customer services will make useful suggestions like “can you ask a neighbour to go round to take a look to see if the house is being burgled ” (at 1am in the morning) Avoid this company and take note of all the other review sites and the appalling customer reviews they recieve.

From your pushy sales team to the customer service – mis information and lack of regard for your customers. We had one of your pushy sales team at our door flogging a 007 James Bond style alarm system following a series of incidents at our home. We were intimidated by not 1 but 3 members of your team that were “in the area” We were reassured that there weren’t any penalties for cancelling our contract anytime and we could then use the cameras without the security guard, fogging and internal cameras. When we called in October 2022 we were advised that if we cancel we still had 3 months to pay for the system we have never had to use. This was not advised at the time of signing up. We then cancelled our Direct Debit with you and started to receive letters advising we owed 2 moths payment. When my husband tried to pay this today he was told it was over £100 we had to pay, only when he advised that this was incorrect did the agent say “sorry sir – yes its £99” We have now been advised that you are now going to come and remove the equipment. When Mr Peters advised that when sold we were told that the cameras were ours he was told no you own everything. So not only are we going to be left with holes where the equipment was installed we are back to square 1 with no cameras !!!!!!! This has to be the worst company and customer service I have ever had the misfortune of receiving and will endeavour to spread the knowledge on social media, to friends and anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to use your company. I expect to hear from you regarding the above ASAP !

It's been a scam from start to finish with Verisure. We were in need of protection for our house after being broken into. Their sales guy came to our house whilst the police were here. We paid nearly £300 up front for everything as per what the sales guy said to us in person, we now owned all of the products in our house. He also agreed to us paying £30 approx every month with no limit. He also said we can cancel at any time with no penalty. Now it turns out you pay the £300 upfront for the guy to just come and install it. That's an awful lot of money for a couple of screws and 15 minutes of someone's time. They also increased our monthly fee by more than £10 WITHOUT any notification. We raised a complaint with them in October and still have NO response. It is now nearly the end of January. Everytime we spoke to them they were demanding £99 to take away all of our items Including the free doorbell that was part of the sign up incentive ontop of a cancellation fee. They ignore our complaint, everytime we mention it they say the previous person didn't log it even though their calls are supposedly recorded. They keep harassing us demanding payment but ignoring the complaint. It's outside of the FCA and government regulations now for how long a company has to solve a complaint. I requested all of our call transcripts on the 10th of January so I can proceed to the FCA with a complaint and they have not even acknowledged that yet sent me an email on 15th. I replied to that email again asking for Transcripts and today they emailed me to say they haven't not received a response to the email they sent on 15th so are passing our debt to debt collectors. I have the email thread. STAY AWAY FROM VERISURE. You can buy cameras and a harddrive off amazon for £150.

6 months ago we were burgled. Emotions very high. Verisure sold us an alarm system that after 6 months has never worked. Their own engineer last week came out and stated unambiguously that the installation was mis-sold and would have never worked. However they are claiming that their own engineer never said or reported this. They are doing everything now so that they can to get out of repaying the very considerable money that they have scammed out of us. Essentially this is a scam company that plays on emotions of people that have been through a bad situation. My recommendation is to avoid these people at all costs unless you want to sit for hours on help lines and talk about internal company processes and be dictated to about their own internal processes - high pressure emotive sales that doesnt give you any form of protection
