Changing the call list Steve Foley 01-02-2007

I've run across this problem several times in the past, and have never found
a fool proof method.

The alarm went off this morning. The owner's cell phone was called. He is
fourth of fifth on the call list, yet nobody else was called. He's only 1000
miles away.

Problem 2 (now resolved because I moved). I was on the call list, and
received calls for several years after I closed sold the business. I told
them I would call the police if they continued calling me at 3:00am. They
never stopped, until I moved.

Problem 3. They won't change the call list. They say they will, but the next
time it goes off, they call the 'old' number again.

Three different companies.

Any ideas?

Stop dealing with ADT, P1, and Brinks. Call a local guy who cares.

Instead of just telling the operator that calls you at 3 in the morning
about the problem, do this instead. Call the alarm company in the morning
during normal business hours. Ask for an EIS sheet (EIS= Emergency
Information Sheet) If they don't call it by that name they will have a
similar name and know what you're talking about. Ask them to FAX or mail it
to you. Make a copy or two so you have at least one blank for future use.
Fill out the form COMPLETELY. Send the filled in copy to the alarm company
and save a filled in copy for your own records. Call the company and see if
they received the copy. Ask when the information will be updated. Call the
central station after that date and check all the information to make
certain it was changed. This is a fool proof method.

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow morning.

Every CS I've ever dealt with required changes to call info to be in writing
and signed. Something about legal liability.
