Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Alarm security scam
An alarm company sold and installed a system in our home with no licence to do so but we signed 3 year contract but now want to terminate it due to numerous complaints, poor service, no response to alarms, and the fact that we found out they had no licence in the first place. Is this enforcable or collectable? That company has since gone out of business but has sold our monitoring contract to another company and they have sent us to collections because we felt we got ripped off and won't continue to pay (we were told by the salesman that they would remove the system if we weren't satisfied and we have asked them to do so to no avail). Furthurmore, If the contract is NOT valid, would the selling of that contract to another monitoring company be enforcable?
Thank you very much,
Mike

Re: Alarm security scam
You might or might not be able to get out of the contract by taking them to court.
I want to observe, both for your future benefit and that of people who read these questions and answers, that what the salesman "told" you means nothing. Only what's in the written contract counts.
