ADT Security Services Customer Service

Account Number: [protected]

Just want to recommend better training for associates in response to cancelling of contract. I spoke with a Moneise at the beginning of July to cancel my contract as it expires on 7/31. She told me to call back again on 7/31 to cancel contract which I thought was unusual. I told her I was concerned about doing that as I would be charged on 7/29 the $63.12 monthly fee and it did not make sense to pay that when I was going to cancel on 7/31. She then said she would waive that and all I had to pay was $4.16. I agreed to that.

I called back on 7/28 and spoke to a Stephanie and told her I wanted to cancel contract as directed by Moneise. She said I needed to call 31 days in advance so my cancellation would take effect on 8/26. I told her I had already put that request in at the beginning of July with Moneise. Unfortunately, Moneise did not do that, all she did was credit my account.

I called again on 7/29 and spoke with Monica to validate cancel request was put thru thinking the effective date would be 7/31. She said it was 8/26. I explained my discontent as I had spoken to Moneise in the early part of July thinking everything was taken care of but due to misunderstanding the cancellation request would not take effect until 8/26. Monica then waived the $63.12 indicating that no other charge would be incurred, and full cancellation would take effect on 8/26.

Thankfully Monica was able to clear everything up, but I was disappointed in the way the initial request of cancellation was handled. I don’t think Moneise had a clear understanding of cancellation procedure which caused undue frustration on my part that was directed at Stephanie and Monica. I am pleased that Monica was able to settle everything professionally, but I do recommend better training.

Desired outcome: Better training on handling cancellation requests.

ADT Security Services ADT

I am a new customer that received partial installation a week ago. Unfortunatelly, a technician fried one of the transformers for the thermostat and was advised by his supervisor at 8:45pm to leave me with no AC. I was advised to get an electrician to repair it. So unprofessional of a company and totally unethical! I have fixed it and now await a refund. In the meantime i have requested a manager to contact me, or coorporate client manager and they said they would within 24-48 hours but NOBODY has! WHAT AM I PAYING FOR? No service, pulling teeth, excuses, short staffed etc..THIS is what current ADT is about.

Advertised as the BEST in the industry it appears more as the WORST in the industry!

Very, very dissappointed, discouraged and disguisted!

Horrible service so far!

Desired outcome: Money back. Refund. Apology. Explanation based on facts on what has failed. Additional services at no cost for my wasted time and suffering!

ADT Security Services Home Security

We had home security system with ADT for about 1 and 1/2 years. The service was poor. The Camera's would not record most of the time. After several attempts for them to come to our house to resolve the problem (which they did not) We cancelled services with them. The sent us the final bill for contract end. The Bill was $528.30. We had set up auto pay from our bank account for the monthly billing only! About a week after receiving the final bill they took the $528.30 from our bank account. They did not have authorization to take the final bill amount from out account. We called ADT over 30 minutes on the phone with Jose' he told me they could not refund the money because it had already processed. That is ridiculous, you can always credit a customer's card!

I ask to speak to a supervisor several times on the phone, he would not get one for me. This is worst experience I have every had with a Company! We will be disputing the amount stolen from our account with our bank. If Jose' could have stopped reading from his manual and listened to me, we have a debit card that is getting mailed to us from our New Security company to pay for final charges with ADT. Once we got that we were going to pay the final bill. We did not dispute the amount due. But NEVER gave authorization to take it from our account!

Just FYI The new security company we have has not had any issues with service. Camera's are clear and notify us every time someone walks up. So clearly ADT products were not as good as the Vivent.

Thank You

Pamela Pate

Desired outcome: I want a refund for the $528.30 you stole from our account. You did not have authorization to take that money from our bank account!

ADT Security Services smoke detector

I had set my alarm for the night before bed. A few moments later the smoke detector was sounding off. I ran to the keypad, entered the code and it would not shut off. ADT called to inquire to the emergency, I explained that there was not emergency. I was sent to customer service for trouble shooting. She would not be calling the fire department.

While The alarm went off again as I remained on hold for almost 30 minutes, someone else must have called the fire dept. The fire department came to my house to and inspected my entire home before anyone picked up the phone to trouble shoot the system. This is totally unacceptable. The fire men are puzzled as to how I can be on hold for so long. They completed their inspection and left and i still was not able to get help from ADT. When I did get service I was walked thru the reset process. And we hung up.

Later that same evening my mother called back and she was informed there was a reading of low battery. It would have been nice to get that information when I called so that I could replace the batteries.

Desired outcome: I would like a designated dept to handle alarm sounding and trouble shooting 24 hours a day. With the monthly service charge we pay to be left holding for 30 minutes does not make much sense.

ADT Security Services Online video storage

When you have service with ADT you have to ability to save clips, up to 6,000 per month. Once you reach your limit, your system stops recording clips. When you go to your account online, it tells you that at 100% of stored clips, older clips will be deleted to make room for newer ones. This makes sense, delete the old ones for new ones. I can even go in and delete video clips myself, which I have. All of them are gone now.

However, this doesn't happen. Regardless if you delete all your videos, I have to wait until the 1st of the next month for the system to be reset. I've called the 3rd party company that installed it and ADT directly and I'm told to either wait or buy more storage. I'm paying for a service that I can't use and that is a bold-faced lie against what it tells me on my account.

This system is set up as if it was 2010. We had Vivint and their system would just delete over old videos and keep going, which is how it should be. ADT makes you wait until the next month or buy more storage and that is not fair to the customer. It should delete old clips and keep going.

Desired outcome: I would like my account unlocked so I can keep recording videos and it never stops, just delete over the oldest clips. And I would like a refund for the month of July.

ADT Security Services Promotion Gift Card not recieved should have gotten 2 only received 1

When I signed up with the service [protected] performed on 05/25/2022 I was advised by a Manager and the salesman that I would receive 2 100.00 gift cards. To date I have only received 1 for 100.00. I have contacted the salesman many times and he kept saying that he would look into it with his manager. He ultimately now has refused to answer my calls and text messages. I believe that I have been falsly led to believe that I was getting a service and product that was never intended to be recieved. I am requesting resolution of the missing 100.00 gift card.

ADT Security Services Cancellation

On June 24, 2022, I contacted ADT Alarm Services to cancel my service because I had recently lost my job. While they tried to get me to stay, I wanted to stop service. It is costing too much and can no longer be in my budget. At the time on the phone when closing the account while speaking with a female she told me that I was paid through June so no further balance would be charged.

Now I received a text message saying that my payment is due and when I reviewed the invoice it does not show that I cancelled service and is showing charges April through June and charges for July. I have tried contacting and speaking to someone (a supervisor) which I am just placed on hold. I should not owe anything and furthermore the account was paid through June as they took my payment directly out of my account.

I used to think this company was good but not anymore, the customer team members need to be better trained in cancelling an account.

Desired outcome: They need to remove charges from account as I cancelled the account before the end of June and no further charges should be charged.

ADT Security Services Cost of new equipment is not what I was quoted.

On June 22, 2022 I called ADT to have my system upgraded. I wanted a couple of cameras added to cover the back and front of the house. The lady I spoke with quoted me a price of an additional $22 and change for the upgrade. This charge would be added to my current fee so my new total monthly bill would be $59.99 / month for 60 months. After questioning her to be sure that the $22 add was all it was going to cost me, I told her to go ahead with the upgrade. The next day the installer came to do the job and again I asked him if the $22 add was all I was going to be charged. He assured me that was it. Later that day was charged on my bank statement $284 as a deposit toward the new equipment. And now my monthly payment is $81/ month to cover the service fee and the equipment for the next 60 months when I feel it should be $59.99 that they quoted me. I have tried talking with ADT to get this corrected but after speaking with 8 different people I have not gotten any satisfaction. The first agent I talked with said that when he contact the sales lady who quoted me the price she admitted she made a mistake in the quote. I don't feel I am responsible for their mistakes. They all say they will check into the issue and get back to me which they never do. When you call back you get a different agent and I have to go through the issue all over again. When I called on 7/21 I was told a supervisor would call me back with-in the hour. That was at 10:30 am. I called back and again spoke with a different agent only to be told the supervisor went home early.

I need a resolution to this situation.

Desired outcome: I would like to get my fee reduced to the quoted $59.99 / month

ADT Security Services Services and installation

In May 2022, I called ADT to switch my services because I was moving. They told me that I would have to get a new plan in which I did not understand since when I initially got it installed the technician said that when I move I can transfer services and keep my current plan. ADT would not allow this so I agreed to switch my services to my new home and was told one cost but now it changed to something totally different. I paid a $100 deposit and an additional $373.28 on the date of installation which I assumed my total cost would include the equipment with installation. I was also being told that I would get a discount. I did ask for break sensors and agreed to pay for those monthly. Now I am told that I owe additional cost for installation to the tune of $900. Why would I agree to pay you over a $1000 in installation fees that does not include equipment. I am also being charged the monthly service fee. So now 2 charges are coming out of my banking account each month. I called customer service (which included over an hour of time holding and being switched) and they could not help and I asked to speak to a supervisor and Mary came on the line and I explained everything to her and I was waiting on her to review and respond, she hung up on me. This is not acceptable. I want this issue resolved. I was misled by the installer who installed my equipment. While he was at my home doing installation, he had me sign another agreement which I assumed was the same one that I signed before, but it was not. All the terms of the contract was changed. I am being charged for equipment, installation and monthly services.

Desired outcome: I want one monthly payment and not 2 monthly payments as agreed upon when I talked to the sales rep and installer. I want the installation fees removed.

ADT Security Services Can not get refund

Was talked into ADT by one of the contracted Companies to sell service, After a couple hours of thinking of it I called and canceled. They came out the next day and removed the system and said it was all canceled. It has now been 4 months and they're still taking out a payment every month for monitoring, Something I don't even have, I have called them every month and told them that I don't have a system and stop taking payments from my account and refund find the money you have taken. As of today they owe me $201.72 Today I was told they passed it on to a supervisor, manager Or something. Person the phone said it was above his abilities to take care of. So now I am waiting again hoping the surviving manager And return the money I'm trying to get back for months.

Desired outcome: Refund my money!!!

ADT Security Services SafeStreets USA

SafeStreets with ADT did not install the products that they agreed to install, when I spoke to them over the phone. The equipment they did install does not work. They are unresponsive and will not fix the equipment they installed, nor will they deliver and install the equipment still owed to me. They will not let me out of my contract with them, without charging me a significant penalty, though I logged my complaints with them immediately. They told me MULTIPLE lies when I agreed to purchase the security system and again told MULTIPLE lies when they installed the incomplete equipment package, which has never worked.

Some of the lies told to me:

Promised 5 cameras, 2 doorbell cameras, three keypads; Only received two keypads, one of which I paid extra for, and I received one doorbell camera, which has never worked.

I was signing contract with ADT, not SafeStreets. The contract was with SafeStreets.

SafeStreets are liars! Complete bait and switch and MULTIPLE straight up lies! Save yourself from a massive headache and do not sign their contract with only three days to cancel! Go directly through ADT. SafeStreets is NOT ADT and ADT does not guarantee anything SafeStreets says or does. SafeStreets is completely unafraid to break the law and their representatives have NO conscience.

Desired outcome: They will not correctly install any equipment, they will not fulfill their agreement and install the promised equipment, and they will not let me out of my contract.

ADT Security Services ADT Service

We moved into a pour new home in Aug. 2021. The previous owner had the ADT equipment installed in the home, so we just called ADT and they started monitoring the house. I never met with anyone in person, we had a relative meet with a service man to inspect the equipment in the house. He only stayed a few minutes and left. We never physically signed any contract and we’re told there was no contract. We have had lots of failed to alarm codes, but being so busy remodeling our home, we let some of the days go by. We would have to call and wait on the line forever to speak to someone in the tech department to walk us through the problem and finally get the system to arm. Lots of problems with front door sensors! The home has two pads and the bedroom pad stopped working about 6 months ago. I called at the first of June and told them the whole system was out and we needed a technician to come out and fix it. The system shorted out or something and it blew the circuit. We did not know it blew the circuit until the next day, when we investigated and fount the socket was but not looking. The refrigerator in our Agra rage was on the same circuit and it blew the refrigerator too! There was no storm, the system shorted out and blew the circuit!We lost a whole lot of food in the refrigerator freezer and a lot in the fridge side. The Custer ear service people told me they could not get to us until the middle of July! That was 6 weeks to wait on a tech to come see about our system. I asked why in the world would an alarm company not have techs available for emergencies like this and make a customer wait for weeks on end to fix their security system? I was told they only have one technician in this area, and he only works one day a week here! I asked them “why “ do you offer your services where you have no technicians to service the area, and she did not know why. I called them back a few days ago and told them we were elderly and needed a reliable company and wanted to cancel with ADT. She told me she could cancel, but I would have to pay out the contract till June2923. I told her I did not think we were under contract since we had all the equipment and all they had to do was start monitoring. She said I was and I would have to pay. I asked her why did I have to keep up my end of the agreement if they did not keep up theirs? She said she did not know, but nevertheless I would have to pay. This company thinks they can bully us older customers. We need a security system that works, and if it doesn’t, gets fixed within 24 hours or less. Why pay for a service you don’t receive? Who’s going to reimburse us for the refrigerator and all the food? We need them to cancel our service with no fees.

Desired outcome: Cancel service with no fees

ADT Security Services ADT cancellation charge after natural disaster

To whom it may concern:

On 7/2/2022, my entire condo fell victim to a fire. My contract nr is [protected].

When I called in to cancel my contract for well understandable reasons, I was rudely advised, that, despite my extenuating circumstances FIRE and the inability to transfer services even if I wanted to (renting small room), I still would be responsible for the remaining contract charges of $ 1106.59.

I find your business practices incredible. Not only are your representatives marginal and unempathetic, they refused to let me speak to somebody who can solve this issue.

A big company such as yours should be practicing better customer service.

As a fully and permanently disabled US Army veteran, who volunteered my life for all Americans, I cannot believe that I am being put in a situation where I am supposed to pay for something I have lost in a dramatic event.

I need to speak to the contact who can fix this unbelievable mess.

I also believe that all customers, current and future, should be informed about the inhumanity I am exposed to at this time of loss and grief.

So, the least that should be done, is completely and full cancellation of my contract without having the pay the amount charged to me.

Iris Hart

Desired outcome: Cancellation without penalty due to extenuating circumstances

ADT Security Services ADT fire & security (jg05052021dl201490) - electrical downing of adt home security incomplete since 2016

These are back and forth correspondances from myself Miss Jacqueline Joseph to the respective ADT team who are responded to my concerns with little resolve. The burden to resolve this matter is being left to me and the ADT team show little interest in the safety aspect of my concern. I am being advised to seek an independent electrician or pay the call-out fee of some £200 to have them check that the disconnection was indeed completed. My concerns are as written below.

Good Afternoon Mr and Mrs Joseph

Thank you for your email dated 1st May 2021 in regards to a complaint, I was disappointed to read that you have reason to be dissatisfied with the service provided by ADT Fire & Security.

Having reviewed your concerns I can confirm that the engineer attended your property on the 23rs June 2016 as requested, to Down power the alarm system from the mains supply. the detector on the landing will have been connected to the main alarm control panel of the system and would not function without the main alarm panel. I have attached a copy of the engineers docket for your perusal.

The engineer will not remove any cable on view, as ADT Fire & Security would not make good any damage caused to the décor.

As you are no longer under a maintenance contract with ADT Fire & Security. Unfortunately, if a visit was requested for the engineer to attend the call would be fully chargeable.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience that you have been caused in this matter.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sir,

I am raising this issue again because the wiring does not appear to be disconnected from the box; I do not see any visible cuts or separations and I have been informed that wiring will more than likely be connected to a long-life battery which could trigger in-spite of the fact that your response team service is disconnected at your end. The other connections which were removed by myself were visibly disconnected as the engineer in question had cut the wires. This is not so with the one in question which feeds directly into the electrical box where all other electrical cables are located. I am distraught over this and very concerned to possible dangers and want an ADT engineer to come and check/ finish the job at no additional expense to myself. I lost my father during the pandemic and am having to look after my 81 year old mother. Having to be told I would have to pay a call-out fee of £200 + otherwise hire an electrician is insufferable. Under advisement, I was told that the original installers ought to check the job out.

I await your response. Please do not hesitate to email me. My mobile number is [protected] Jacqueline Joseph, 103 Trinity Road, Southall, Middlesex, UB11ER

Good Afternoon Jacqueline.

Thank you for your email and I am sorry to hear of your concerns.

When the engineer attended on 23/06/16 the system was fully powered down and disconnected from the mains power. While there is a long life battery in the panel, once the system has been disconnected the battery would have been fully drained within 8 hours. If the engineer did leave the system connected to the battery this would have fully drained by now. As such I am confident that the work carried out by the engineer has been completed and there is no danger of electrical issues. As such I must advise that ADT would not envisage sending out another engineer without charge.

I apologise that I could not have been of further assistance in the matter. I must also advise that this is our final decision on the matter.

Thank you for responding. I have sought the advice of 2 electricians in the past who advised that I resort to yourselves to sort out this matter. I shall have the matter assessed again and if I am to believe that a consequence might occur with interfering/ removing the said UNCUT wire that feeds directly into the box as a job specifically carried out by an ADT engineer as the original installers of the security product, I will have little choice but to report this through the necessary national complaint channels. There are some electricians who may not wish to involve themselves with this being a matter that ADT should take up. Again, the wire was left UNCUT and directly wires into a chamber in the electrical box and not even an independent electrician might know what constitutes as part of your ADT product.

Good Day.

Desired outcome: I would like an ADT engineer to check that the wire can be safely removed without consequence. I should not have to pay a further £200 plus for a call out fee. This disregards the safety concern I have.

ADT Security Services Charging for monitoring service, but not providing monitoring service

We have a 3 year contact with ADT for monitoring service, and we pay them every year in advance.

We discovered, recently, after 2 ADT techs spent a total of 6 hours in our home that we are not, and have not received monitoring service because our system works with AT&T cellular only, and the AT&T signal in our area isn't strong enough to monitor.

One of the ADT techs sent this information to ADT, clearing stating that they had to upgrade our keypad, etc. so that we could be monitored according to our contract. The upgraded system is necessary because it picks up a Verizon signal in addition to the AT&T system. The Verizon signal in our area is strong.

After 3 1/3 hours on the phone with ADT about the matter, they fully agree with what the problem is, but still insist that we pay them nearly $300 for the new system.

However, ADT knew full well what our system was when we signed the contract with them nearly 3 years ago, and obviously, the burden falls on them to know that their equipment works for their end of the contract.

There are MANY more underlying issues with ADT that I encountered, but too much to write here.

ADT did not fulfill their end of the contract, and still will not do so until we buy new equipment.

You be the judge.

Desired outcome: That ADT install a working system in our home at no charge immediately so that they are fulfilling their end of the contract.

ADT Security Services Billing

One simple thing to start with... you (ADT) talk TO MUCH! Just get and give a clear simple answer to the questions.

I cannot get clear, concise answers to any questions about my account balances.

At each inquiry, the balance changes (ADT doesn't know what the true balance is).

Every inquiry about my account is beyond the extreme of confusing.

Every charge and payment is comingled so a clear balance for monitoring service and any installation services cannot be a simple answer.

Any clear and direct instruction on how my payments are to be handled are ignored. I don't need or want to hear about anything else.

As of June 28, 2022 9:44AM, the payments made to my monthly monitoring and installation service do not reflect correct balance on either account.

I would like to call ADT billing dept and get the answers to account questions without a lot of "Barnicle Shell" answers full of nothing.

Desired outcome: Apply the last payment made by check for $348.35 and all previous payments made by check, as well as the monthly $50.55 checking account auto payments to the to the February 15, 2022 installation charge and balance.

When ADT was installed, the cameras did not work. The technician said he would come back the next day to get them working. He came back but and had all but one of the cameras working. He said he would get another technician to come out to try to get the side camera working. Another technician came out and still did not resolve the issue. We scheduled another visit for the technician with our internet service provider technician and all the cameras still did not work. We requested to have the services removed, but Mary ID#136068 stated that she would have the General Manager to give us a call which never happened. When we called back, Mary told us there was nothing they could do that we were stuck with the services and had to pay for the equipment. We should not be "stuck" with services that do not work as per my service agreement when I bought the system. The cameras never worked, and the ADT technicians proceeded to work on them as if they would.

Desired outcome: We would like our contract terminated because we have non-operative equipment.
