ADT is dirty
May 18, 2022

I'm on a 3 year contract and I deeply regret it! They raised my price this month in the middle of a contract…who does that? Isn't that the point of a 3 year contract? I would have never signed for that long if I just knew they were going to increase the price mid contract they made a point to tell me that my price would be "locked in" apperently not!

Worst company ever
October 29, 2023

The only reason I entered into a contract with ADT was because the salesman guaranteed that my cats won't set off the alarm. My cats did, in fact, set off the alarm. I told them I wanted out of the contract, but they refused. I should have pursued legal action, but I didn't. So, I decided to pay the early termination fee that comes with an early termination, and so I told them to terminate the contract. Rather than allowing me to pay the bill, they took one last stab at me by immediately sending it to a collection agency. That was unnecessary and really made me angry. I will never again use ADT and I will recommend to anyone and everyone to stay away from it.

Over charged
December 21, 2020

We moved into our new home after selling our old home. We cancelled our service for our old home. We were billed for services on our old home after we sold it. Then we were billed on an accelerated program for our new home. Over charged over a $100 in all. Customer services was not any help when I called. Basically saying nothing she could do. I would not recommend ADT to anyone. Plenty of other home security companies out there. ADT will overcharge you and their service is below average.

I moved as part of PCS in military. I sold my home paid off equipment and canceled services. I set up new service at new address. ADT continue billing me for closed account dispute the many times I called to close account. The finally apologized said will refund will be in mail and nothing yet. And they continue to bill me! Then send my name to collections. I called at least 6 times this past year to ask them to stop billing that I don't live there and acct paid and they continue to ignore me. This business is a fraud and I don't recommend any military member use this service at all.

ADT = Awful
February 7, 2022

Trouble from the start with ADT. "Subcontractor" only wanted to install the minimum window/door sensors. I was to have up to15, he only installed 5 doors, said the motion sensors would catch anything else. Suffered through my contract, cancelled in Oct. 2021. ADT said they owed me refund. They never sent me the refund. A different, story or excuse when I call customer service. The second time I called asking about my refund (which they say I am due) they sent me a check in December with the pay to the order of: ADT Security Services with my address. They made the check out to themselves so the bank would not cash it. I have called every month since October 2021 and still no valid check. Last week customer service and complained again they said I needed to send my request to *******@ADT.com get my refund. I haven' heard a thing from them. I want my refund of $111.66 now!

Customer service sucks. I have been having issues with my alarm system: 1. It took them over four months to correct the problem. 2. I was promised I would receive credit for the time my system was down; however, I am still waiting to receive it. 3. they will tell me to call customer service, and when I call, I will be instructed to call billing or some other departments. Never-ending phone calls and no resolution. They don't seem to have internal communication.
I have called more than a few dozen times and have had to explain the situation repeatedly. Yet, the agents do not notate the account appropriately, so when I call again, they ask me to explain or transfer me to someone else, and that person would ask me to explain what I just explained to their colleague.

Worse ever
June 23, 2022

ADT are scammers, trick consumers into long contracts. Worse customer services. ADT should be sued. Class action suite should be giving to any and everyone who obtain ADT services. I will never get recommend ADT for me or any of my friends and family. I will be sure to let everyone to stay away from ADT.

I was with ADT when they were Bricks
So for 20 years I was loyal. 3 years ago I bought a home... I had to wait Til it was ready. ADT put my account on hold. I signed another 3 year contract. Once the house was ready.
I got a job transfer, sold my home. Call to transfer service said it would be succeed in 90 days they said no problem but they cannot call. Received a cancelation bill called the agent said the cancel we charge. I explained it was temporary and I've been with them 20 years, he didn't care said had to pay it. No problem they will get their money... But I will never use ADT again and will never recommend them!

My sister and I have been on two separate phones trying to cancel our ADT contract. They have transferred us kept us on hold for over and hour and said call tomorrow. The equipment hasn't been working for over a year since it worked. Had to unplug as they kept wanting to charge us to fix their equipment. Kept telling us it had a battery when there wasn't a place for a battery it was a plug into the wall. Trying to cancel since the contract would be up. No one is helping the company is playing games, not answering any of us, transferred around at least 8 times with no help. This is the worst company in the world, would not recommend it to anyone. Seniors cannot use this company to save themselves, for protection. Equipment doesn't work, can't save anyone, but yet they give you a bunch of bull while trying to cancel. May have to go to the bank and change my account so they cannot get any more from our family.

ADT disappointment
September 22, 2023

Upon attempting to cancel a contract after nine monthes, I was charged over $650 on my charge card on file and sent a remaining bill of over $2400 to cancel contract. I was moving due to boyfriend being deployed and that was still not good enough to cancel contract. Disputed with my credit card company but the reversed charge for the very expensive overcharge of equipment was put back on :/. The customer service agents were rude and disrespectful when I called to complain and asked to speak to a manager. I was told there was no manager and I could " google" address to send a written complaint or " google the email address. Big disappointment in the customer service and the inability to break contract due to circumstances. My advice is buy your own equipment and dont go through this absolutely horrible company.

ADT have left me in a bad place, I have no outdoors security camera with floodlight never installed. The Loyalty Department never mentioned that I would have to pay for electrician to come to install the google security camera the young lady mentioned that the installation would be no charge since they're ADT security camera was not recording after midnight. As of today still no security camera installed a photo of the camera sitting on my dinner table by the ADT tech cause he was waiting on the electrician that the loyalty department had punish that would be taken care of and I would have a zero balance due when they have completed the installation... No Security camera installed yet, just sitting on my table. Pissed Off!

ADT is probably one of the more expensive monitoring services out there. I think they're overpriced and considering that I use two other monitoring services before, this one offers the least flexibility. I've used Monitronics and SafeTouch before. Both of the others offer non-wifi dependent remote monitoring service that can be controlled with my phone without depending on an existing wifi present. I can also assign codes easily for extra users to monitor entrance and usage right through the internet site. With ADT, this is not possible unless you go with their PULSE program, which ONLY works with your existing wifi. Oh, and they are about $10 more expensive per month. Too bad those other companies don't exist in the Northeast.

Repair
August 11, 2023

I called to get a service repair cause att was repairing a broken wire and knocked out my security. So anyhow I call to get a technician to come out and have to pay for a service call. We already pay $255.00 a month and I don't feel it's the best security out there since the customer service in a pain in my back.
How about giving your customers 1 free service repair a year? I mean you are getting rich feom your customers and without us you would be a company. Just a word of advice from a business owner that made it through covid without any grants or loans.
After we buy your systems and have a monthly service fee you would think we would be appropriated but I guess I feel my customers are number 1 to me. Have a blessed day.

Absolutely pathetic service! Get bounced from one department to another and none of them can help!
Needed to extend my ADT alarm system to another part of my home. I called ADT and made a booking for Engineer to install both a contact switch and a sensor as my system is connected to the police.

Engineer failed to turn up first time and didn't call. I stayed in all day! Made a second appointment, again engineer didn't turn up nor called. I made a third appointment, engineer's job sheet only had the sensor down and not the contact so he couldn't install!

Called today and was told to wait for delivery of the parts and then call back ADT to let them know when it arrives so an engineer can be booked to come out! I don't know why the engineer can't just bring these to standard parts out with them!

I will look to move my business to Verisure after 10 years with ADT!

What a Terrible company
November 30, 2021

They rope you in with a 3 yr contract in small print and then when you have to cancel in 2yrs, they want that full year all up front? Nope. If I'm being charged for the 3rd year, I'm stretching that payment out for the 3rd year. You will not get it all at once.

Don't waste your time, Use a local company. ADT is awful

Horrible customer service!
September 26, 2023

3 years I have had adt, never had an issue EVER, I had a new tech come in that barely knew what he was doing come in take the adt panel off the wall, try to replace it, than put my panel back on the wall, after that all of a sudden my panel is low battery won't charge and won't work. I call to have someone come out to replace the battery if I buy it and they want to charge 152, absolutely ridiculous and than the last tech also told me that when you move they won't remove the cameras so yet another thing I have to worry about. Dont worry about getting ADT, go with someone better because all they want to do is nickel and dime you.

All I wanted was a service call. Waited their 4 hr window, only to have them reschedule. Unbelievably, they did the same thing the following week. 8 hours of wasted time.
I'm a 16 year customer. What would happen if I had a real emergency? $100/mo for what?
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE CLOWNS. Switch to Simplisafe or something else (as I am doing). ADT should be ashamed.
