Are there any home security companies that don’t do credit checks or don’t require good credit?
My credit is not so great but that doesn’t mean I should not be able to protect my home either. The economy has a lot of people in debt and I can’t seem to find a security company that understands that so any info would be great.

We went to Home Depot – bought the system and did it ourselves.
We didn’t need monitoring – just the alarm system.
Not that hard to do – will take all weekend though…
Yes, and a lot of people prepared way before the economy went south by not having credit cards maxxed out and a savings account with several months worth of expenses. YES, EVERYONE CAN do this however why should a creditor understand “that” in light of your haeing screwed over other creditors would you?
You will not find one.
No
They want to make sure you will pay the bill
Don’t they just charge you a larger deposit if you have less than stellar credit?
Get a large dog instead.
