If so, beware. You may have a large piece of chewing gum under your shoe and not know it. We recently sold (finally!!) our second home in Stepford (sorry Alan, LOL et al.) and completed the transition to the scorpion infested, dry wastes west of the world's live music capital (we don't want crowds of ERs moving nearby, do we REWahoo!). Selling a house in Texas is expensive, time consuming, and frustrating but we thought it was over. No. The security monitoring company won't cancel the rolling contract they bought from the company who installed our system nearly 14 years ago. They are going to keep taking payments from our bank until next year. If we pay a lump sum they will stop now. This is all perfectly legal, apparently. The bank can't stop it, and according to google research the security company will call their attorney if we stop the payments.
So, if you have a monitoring contract - check it to be sure you can cancel when you want to.
