New House Alarm - Am I locked out?

[Robert L Bass]

how'd they do that if they don't have and

have never had a business relationship?

T%hey ripped off the prior owner. No one is
claiming they ripped off the new owner. He's
just another victim of their scam.

now the previous homeowner might have
ripped him off...

More likely the previous owner never knew
what dirty tricks they were pulling on him and
whoever would buy the house.

but I don't expect the facts to alter your spiel...

You've consistently ignored the facts which
the victim posted here, repeatedly insisting
on things which even the crooked alarm company
says are not so.

like I said you just badmouth legit alarmcos...

Like I said, the alarm company in question is
crooked. If you think their behavior qualifies
them as legitimate, that's not my problem.

because you can't be one what with that
unfortunate felony conviction and all.

I held an alarm contractor's license for many
years until I sold my company. I'm able to do
more and make a better living running an
online alarm and home automation store now
than I possibly could by going back to your
of work. I wish you much success in your end
of the trade though I have no desire to go back
to it.

I was comparing to what I did earlier -- not
whatever you do. That's no concern to me.

Robert L Bass lied:

directly copied from your previous speculation that you attempted to lie
out of without quoting:

Keep on with the lies

like I said you have no idea what I do.

 

[Robert L Bass]

Well there goes "I don't want to fight".. hmmm?

Naah. I'm not fighting. You are. I'm just having
fun watching you.

That sentence should have read "your line of work."
It referred to when I installed and serviced alarms.

like I said you have no idea what I do.

I assume you install or sell alarms. If so, what I said
applies. I'd never go back to that line of work. I make
a better living now and have more fun doing it than I
did then. Happy?

I'm sitting here looking at 4 different contracts and they all have
that clause in them.

Really? Post them please.

[Carl Carlson]

The amount of time and energy you are wasting posting in the newsgroup
is beyond silly.
Spend a few bucks and have someone swap the damn panel OR if it's not
that high of a priority {as you have stated} then shut up about it
already. Funny how an alarm isn't a priority but dry humping a
newsgroup with your jackass commentary is.
Nobody gives a flying rat's cock about the ongoing banter between you
& Guardian. The play by play account is like nails on a chalkboard.
You have no contract with Guardian nor do they have one with you. When
you bought the home the system came AS IS. It is not Guardian's
responsibility to unlock the board for you. If you wanted the board
unlocked you should have addressed this particular issue with the
seller of the home PRIOR to closing. The previous owner was the one
who could have had Guardian unlock the board. Alarmco's are not
charitable organizations. They expect remuneration for services. If
their fee seems too high for you then go to another company.
If you are unwilling to replace the board, or find another company to
service it then please take your posts to alt.unrealisticbastard and
correspond with the rest of the people looking for something for
nothing.
150+ posts of which half are industry professionals offering advice
and you're still hanging around looking for a different answer. Guess
what, porkchop? 2+2 will equal 4 every single time. All of the answers
have been laid at your feet and you're either too fucking stupid to
see them or too fucking pompous to make use of them.
I'm going with pompous. Go unpack the boxes you're surrounded by and
take your goofy act to the yellow pages.

And to the rest of you who are trying to give this shit kicking
cheapskate advice I'd suggest you stop wasting your time. Are you all
that fucking dumb? Seriously? Wake up you assclowns!
He is the type of guy we all fear getting calls from. The guy who just
bought a house with a system in it and would like the battery replaced
for under $12.00 but you can only do the service call before 7am on a
Sunday moring and please take your boots off before you enter the
home. Oh, and would it be ok if they pay you cash to avoid tax? Then
after you leave they call back to say you damaged their kitchen floor
when you bled on it after their dog bit you.

Someone Google Earth the lake closest to this guy's house and have him
go jump in it already.
I swear these fucking yuppy clowns could piss off Jesus if given
enough time.

And to the OP. Drink bleach you fucking dingleberry on the anus of
life.

Feel better now Tom?

[Carl Carlson]

Si, muchas gracias. senor

I KNEW IT! A fucking illegal alien!

[Carl Carlson]

The panel may have been disabled because the selling party failed to
fulfill the contract, which is what I suspect. Why else would the
panel have been disabled?

Well, you said it was because they owned the dialer. Now you're saying it's
because the original owner was in default?

The alarm company has no obligation to the new homeowner, period.

True. The point is that they had no business disabling the panel to begin
with, based on what the OP posted.

[Robert L Bass]

Be careful here. My ex wife claimed that

endearment for me...

I didn't know that you even knew Rhonda,
let alone married her.

 

[Robert L Bass]

I've ridden a Honda a few times but never a Rhonda.

It is against company policy to speak ill of
past employees. Therefore I shall say no
more. :^)

 

[Jim]

Nope.  It belongs to the homeowner.
This alarm company is dishonest.

Read the thread you jerk.

The contract is with the original homeowner.

All this to-do about something that this homeowner has no say in.

And you so gleefully stand by fanning the fire just so you can pick up
a sale.

Before anyone buys from you they should take a look at your BBB
report.

[Jim]

That's an old newsgroup tactic which is
commonplace in ASA.  Make an absurd
assimption and then argue the merits as
though it was a proven fact.


That is also a common thread in ASA.

Why, that's spoken like a true expert on the subject.

 

[Jim]

All but a couple of the complaints against
me were filed online by participants in this
newsgroup.  One guy actually said that he
mailed $9,000 in cash.  He cited an order
number that could never be generated by
our server.  When I explained to the BBB
they refused to remove it though they
marked it as resolved because his email
was bogus.

One guy from Waco filed more than a
dozen of these bogus complaints.  He was
an installer -- not a customer of mine.
The BBB will go to bat for merchants *if*
they join.  Otherwise, they're a hanging
court.

Ummmm would you please post something to substantiate your claims?

Oh? Cant do that?

Opps! Jeeeze ..... then I guess we'll just have to let the record
stand as it is.

You're a crook and you fool people into thinking that you're a
ligitimate businessman. When actually you're not even going to be
around long enough to even give someone a guarantee on anything that
you do.

 

[Jim]

T%hey ripped off the prior owner.  No one is

Obviously, it's got to be a lot easier to dupe uneducated end users
into thinking that they can install their own systems than it is to
actually know how to install one yourself.
