In June,2006,my mother signed a contract with Lifewatch and paid the required up front fees, including a refundable $100 deposit. On August 16,2011, we shipped all the equipment to the Lynbrook,New York office as instructed by customer service. On August 22nd, I spoke to Jasmine in customer service and was told a refund would take 4-6 weeks. On Sept. 9th, Maria in cust.service said it takes 6-8 weeks. On Oct.15th, Jasmine said she will take it up with Paule, the billing supervisor. Is it a fair practice to hold back the refund of a senior citizen (96 years old) and also not to prorate the quarterly fee which was paid in advance. this company will take advantage of the elderly unless there is someone to keep after this company. Maybe they need the $100 more than my mother does. I have read on this site of another complaint of similar nature so this must be their practice, and perhaps elderly customers don't even remember that a deposit refund should be issued. Is that how this company makes their money??

#1 Author of original report
Lifewatch USA does not refund refundable deposit
AUTHOR: Phyllis - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 10, 2011
As previously mentioned,Jasmine, the customer service rep informed me on Oct.21st that the check was processed on Oct. 19th and waiting for signature
.On Oct. 31st she said the check was mailed from New York on Oct. 26. Today is November 10,2011....13 weeks after I returned my mother's equipment to their Lynbrook,New York office and no check ever arrived.
I am beyond frustrated about this and feel badly that my mother is out a deserved $100. As I commented earlier, I think this company hopes that its elderly clients do not remember that they paid a refundable deposit. I do not know what agency to report this to as I would really like to see an investigation to see if this is in fact Lifewatch USA's practice.
I hope anyone reading this complaint will just pass the word along - DO NOT RENT A MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM FROM LIFEWATCH USA.
