Never wanted and never activated.

My sister in Amherst,NS, got the home security system set up through a high pressure sales door approach a bit over a year ago. She is very timid and didn't want the system, but didn't know how to say no. Two men set it up on the spot, got her charge card info and her signature and promised to come back and train her. They never returned. The system has never been activated. No security warning sign has ever been given to her to place on her front door. She continues to pay over $50 per month on a three year contract. She does not want the system and has no idea how to get out of it.

Any suggestions ?

The system has never been activated? What does that mean? $50 monthly should be for monitoring when activated. If she never turns it on then opening the door will not sound the alarm or warning. There is a setting for sound etc. 

The question is since you are speaking for her, do you know how to operate it? Time to ask for an onsite tech to instruct. I can only advise myself on how to cancel the service.
