nope..if you sign a contract with brinks you are UNDER CONTRACT!!!
that means your fees will NOT be raised as long as you are
under contract!!! maybe you guys don't know what a contract is?!?!?

i defy you to find even ONE person who has had their monthly
monitoring raised "just for the hell of it"....it DOES NOT happen

Hey more power to you if Garrido has you bleeding Brinks Blue but as a
former dealer I do know what I am talking about.
Brinks will notify the client 45 days prior to the end of the original
term if the monitoring rate will increase when the contract
automatically renews. Should the client choose not to pay the increase
the contract will terminate at the end of the initial term.
If the customer declines then the system they paid Brinks to install
will be rendered useless. If you're the customer and were given the
choice of maybe a five dollar increase or having to purchase a new
system from a new provider, you're more than likely ponying up the
extra five bucks that Brinks is charging.

While I cannot say for certain that increases have occurred with
residential clients, I can say for fact it has happened with
commercial accounts. Commercial accounts are easy prey. How many of us
pay attention to everything a vendor mails us?

Cause 3(b) allows Brinks to increase the service fee for successive
renewals of the agreement. It also allows the consumer to cancel the
agreement if they aren't in agreement with the increase.

Read clause 12(c) of the PSA. The part where it says "However, if a new
owner of your location agrees to sign a monitoring agreement with Brinks
and pays the applicable programming charges, Brinks will release you
from your obligations under this Agreement."

Note I did not state that Brinks *will* charge you the account setup fee
(even though the PSA clearly states that they will). I stated that
"chances are they will".

Everything I've posted in response to the OP is verifiable and clearly
written in Brink's Protective Service Agreement.

I doubt the person posting about alarm relay has anything to do with them,
its probably a competitor trying to cause them problems with Brinks
