On Sept 3 I received a letter from United Security Systems stating that a security interest had been placed on my property located in Calgary, AB in the amount of 2256.93. The letter also stated that if I did not pay United Security Systems that they would charge me 2.5% interest per month indefinitely. I contacted them to inquire as to the reason for the security interest and they told me that it was because they installed an alarm on my premise. I notified them that I did not authorize the installation on the premise, and that it was a rental unit. They proceeded to tell me that I need to pay them and then take my tenants to small claims court to get my money back. When I got possession of the property back from the tenants in mid August there was no alarm system installed. The tenants that supposedly installed an alarm company system left the province and I have no means to contact them. I asked for copies of the contract and for any proof of an installation billing, or monthly charges for the service and they declined to provide this information to me.
I have told them that they are more than welcome to stop by and check to see if ANY of the equipment is still there, but they refused.
Now I am forced to Pay them the money, or go through a costly legal battle which could end up costing me thousands.
