They said the sales rep, a Blake Harber, would be by later that day and that he just needed our permission, because it wasnt company policy to install the alarmin rental properties.

When he came by hetold me thatandassured meI wouldnt be responsible for anything when I asked him why he needed my signature to sign off on it, my Dad stopped by tohelp with thework and he asked Blake aboutit, and hetold my father the samestory hetold meand thathe hadtold my renters.

Sometime during the hour plus long call he was on with his company rep, he wrangled my birth date and SS# from me and put it on the purchase agreement which Iguess Isigned.I was working, covered in paint and not thinking straight at all. I can only assume he used my SS to run a credit check which allowed him to make the sale.

6 months later in Oct. of 09 I received a collections letter from a company trying to collect on APX 's behalf.After 3 months my renters had tried to shut it off. They had been paying the bill out of there own debit account, but when they stopped, becuz Blake hadtold themthey could cancel at any time, the full amount of the 3 year $1560contract came to me.

When I called APX Alarms to complain about being scammed, they saidBlake was no longer an employee andthat whatever he had said was between him and me. They wouldnot even offer a buyout.

The only solution they offered was for me to turn it back on and fulfill the contractI had unknowingly signed, which is impossible as i do not own or live inthe home where the alarm is installedor get this, try to sellmy accountto someone else and have them take it over.I told them that ethically I couldnt do that asI saw them as corruptand deceptive.Plus, how wouldI even go about setting up the alarm at my home or someone elses?I simply dont have the training or the know how.

My renters, who were dispalced Katrina victims,cant or wontpay as they dont haveany money, and they have sincemoved out of state...
