“Dreadful customer service. The initial request was dealt with with a day and the offer of same day installation was made. The installation was OK but it went rapidly downhill from there. One PIR camera hasn't worked properly since installation and all that is offered is to change the batteries - 3 times so far. Advised an engineer would call between 3pm - 5pm. Not convinced this would happen I called on the day and was told the engineer would arrive between 6pm - 7pm. 7.15pm still no engineer and no contact. Absolutely hopeless and a couldn't care less attitude. Avoid this company at all costs.”

“Where should I start describing this company? They operate like scammers. The company sells its products/services based on a number of lies and then lock you in with some ridiculous terms in the contract. Let's start with the installation. The initial payment was charged at £498 and the sales person tells you that the high upfront cost is for the equipment and the installation is free of charge. But, in the contract, it clearly says that the equipment is on rental and the initial charge is for installation. Now £498 for a 30-60 min installation is a ripoff. Now let's talk about the monthly subscription price: It started with a monthly charge of £29 but the prices are increased every now and then (not just once a year RPI increase). In about 2 years and 8 months, the price went upto £56 at which point I decided to cancel. When cancelling, I was told that I will need to return the equipment and I have an option of keeping it as an unmonitored system without any app support by paying a further £99. This makes it completely useless as there is no app notifications, nor any outdoor siren with the downgrade which renders it completely useless. Now, the sales person when selling you the shiny new service does not explain anything about the notice period after the contract expiration. The notice period is 3 months from cancellation date. On reading other reviews, I realize that it used to be 2 months. Why on earth they need 3 months notice? To do what? The notice period clause is written in some 10th section of a long contract which to me looks like a deliberate way of hiding this in small print. The sales person on the other hand would clearly lie that the contract can be cancelled anytime after 1 year not mentioning anything about the notice. And there is no physical copy of contract provided and the signature is taken in an IPad. There is an email sent after a few days with a link to the contract which too expires if you fail to read it in time. Now the service: Once, when the equipment was malfunctioning, they sent a technician after 20 days to fix it, which left my house vulnerable for 20 days and of course as expected there was no waiving off of the fee for that month for the inconvenience. How can we trust that they would send their guards timely if there was a break-in which they claim as their USP? Morever, try calling their customer care and good luck if you manage to talk to a person in less than an hour. My advice to you will be to stay away from this unethical company whose only aim is to lock you in and then keep milking your wallet. Once I got scammed by them, I also came across a BBC watchdog report on Verisure. Feel free to watch it on youtube by simply searching for "BBC watchdog verisure". I am left with no choice but to complain against them to trading standards or ombudsman. Seems like they easily get away with scamming customers and hide behind some shoddy terms in the contract.”

“After a conversation with Catrina and Adam. They first of all did not tell me my conversation was being recorded. This is an outrage. Verisure sold me a package with 24/7 surveillance this I not true as I got told arlo is a separate department and they finished at 9 pm. My camera has disappeared from my arlo app so I’m not protected. I feel very vulnerable after an attack which took three months to walk again. Verisure are selling you a package that they have no control over as there not there cameras were being sold a lie. I am a customer and keeping you staff in a job and I’m disgusted in how they have dealt with me.”

“Absolutely horrendous company. They changed my price with no contact or notification. The system is not worth it. The customer service.. well there is none. The only good feedback you’ll find is the ones where the service engineer who installed them asked for a review and he was good. Anything past this point HORRENDOUS. Company’s a con when you try and cancel they don’t allow it (even though I’m not in a contract). Don’t even deserve 1 star. Service support woman Lyndsey was the pushiest person who point blank refused to let me even cancel incredibly rude and should not be in a customer facing role”

“Please avoid this company if you can. This company is dangerous because once you are paying they make it very difficult for you to leave. Offer incentives to try and make you stay and then threaten you that you still will have to pay for the doorbell anyway when you leave if you do. You still have to pay 3 months for the service and their customer service doesn't exist. They will argue with you. They claim false information as true. If I could go back in time I would never ever have opened a verisure account. Please if you are looking for an alarm company use anyone but them. Also they will increase your monthly payments and not tell you. If you can pay without paying by direct debit do this at the very least. A shady shady company which I hope finally to be able to get shot of.”

“All fake reviews on Trustpilot, that’s why i am here All pleasant until you try to cancel the subscription. I raised my cancel request on 18 August, but till now (29/11/23)it is still in the process…,they made all kinds of excuses and delayed to sort it out. At first a guy called me and he was so rude! After that I emailed them that we could discuss anything via email. But I still get telephone harassment from Verisure everyday. They use all kinds of tricks to delay the cancellation and charge extra money. I have paid all including the two months notice! I don’t owe any of their money! But they still harass you every day and keep charging you! Avoid this company by all means”

“I raised cancellation request via email on 31 October due to increase in subscription cost. I was told that I will receive a call back to discuss and cancel within 3-4 business days. I get a call on 15 November from an IVR which just says 'This is a call from Verisure' and the call ends. After repeated follow-ups from my end, I still don't get a call back and today, on 23 November 2023, I get an email stating that I will have to pay for current month and also for Notice period which will be finalised by team. This is just fraudulent behavior to scam money out of customers. DO NOT GO FOR Verisure if you need good service.”
