We were given a price per month of $48.99 but have always been billed $52.99. We were told it would be $99.00 to start but ending up paying over $373. We were told ADT would uninstall the equipment if we moved... now they want another $99.00 for that. Called to cancel account and they transferred me 10 times. Nothing they told us was truthful, their customer service was horrendous and I will be complaining to the BBB!

Hello Dena. We apologize for your experience. We've reviewed your accoutn and see that you contracted services through an ADT authorized dealer, Defender Security. Also known as Protect Your Home.
An ADT Authorized Dealer is an independently owned and operated company. They install and sell alarm equipment, but do not provide a monitoring service. They partner and contract with us to provide a monitoring service to their privately acquired customers and, in some instances, ADT purchases the contract from them after a pre-arranged set of time.
The contract provided to us does not reflect a rate of $48.99. If the services were supposed to be reduced, we recommend contact Defenders directly at 1--800-689-9554. They can assist with relocating the services to a new home as well. Please be advised the relocating the services would require signing a new contract agreement for the new location and that contracts are non transferable. Thank you. -Andrew

Thank you for your help. It was a good experience. Everything seems to be under control now. I appreciate your coming out and getting everything working again. I hope that smoke thing never happens again. I don't know what caused it in the first place, but you folks were good! I will be getting in touch with you soon as I will be leaving for the summer. I'll give you a call sometime in May to let you know dates.

ADT was the most affordable when we got them. I like the peace of mind that their home security system gives us. The sales reps were very prompt, professional and excellent. They helped me with troubleshooting and calling to verify if everything was okay when the alarm sounded. The installers were respectful, efficient and clean. We got features like glass break and alarm. If somebody were to come in through when the alarm's on, it would sound an alert. On the other hand, the prices are going up. I’ve stayed with ADT because it was competitively priced but now, it's the same as my Xfinity and it would be nicer just to have one bill. So, I may be dropping them because I'm no longer saving money and it is not worth keeping it.

I'm satisfied with ADT. I’ve known about them for a long time and I had a good experience with their reps. When one of their rep came once, he didn’t have the equipment to do the upgrade so they had to order it. We’ve gone over all the ins and outs of installing the upgrade here so we requested that he come back because we were impressed with him and they scheduled him back. The installation was fine and everything went like I planned. We did the newest upgrade and did whatever is in their latest ad. Then we had a couple of Carbon Monoxide things put in as well. We got one camera and I may put in another one too down the road. ADT is working well and I would recommend it.

Had ADT for over 20+ years. Highly recommend them. If I were to have a complaint, it would be I hate that the security cameras only take 30 second clips and can take on average 5 minutes to reset; in doing so, if someone pulls in front of house, by the time they get out of their vehicle, there is no footage of it. If they pulled off within that 5 minutes, again, there is no footage. I've missed some pertinent things I needed as proof; HOWEVER, on the flip side, the camera has captured some footage I needed. If you happen to actively watch the live footage, you are able to capture video/still pictures yourself, prior to the 5 minute reset. This only helps if again, you decide to watch live footage of it. Who has that kind of time 24/7 (smile).

Late August 2017, I had Impulse Alarm, an ADT Authorized Dealer, visit my house to talk to me about placing an alarm system in the residence I live in. After contacting ADT to verify Impulse Alarms qualifications, I agreed and signed their contract. One of the reasons I signed on was that ADT was adding the Ring doorbell system with the alarm setup at no extra charge. Darryl ** from Impulse assured me that the system plus the ring doorbell would be up and running in less than 2 weeks. Well, I'm still waiting. I have tried several times to contact Darryl and his boss Ramsin, and they do not return my phone calls. ADT has also given me the runaround, even though I pay my bill on time. The best thing about my system, is that the keypad works great as a night light.

Working for a customer oriented corporation for nearly 13 yrs, I would guess Corporations like ADT will go above and beyond to provide great customer experience. But unfortunately it was opposite. Been ADT clientele for nearly 10 or more years in California and New York and have always advocated their services. Cancelled their subscription last year due to some reason. Had everything installed, from wireless Sensors to switch to pulse (Smartphone support). Spend lot of $$ initially for all this.
To make things brief, called them yesterday, after going through their advertisement, of $19.99 per month mailer send to me, if you have already have system in place. For which they said I can’t as I don’t have wireline and second I had pulse installed (Smartphone support) and still have to sign 2 yrs contract, which didn’t make sense to me, as why I do have to sign a contract, when I have everything previous installed ADT system. I agreed to all their strange policies. Also asked them to install 3 cameras at my house. Which they said they will give one free and 2 they will charge $400+ for both, which I agreed, as they said they were top of the line camera’s in the industry, but I found out later they are not, and the pixel quality is not that good. I would have liked if they would have given any options but not.
And the monthly subscription of $49.00, as they discounted $10.00 from $59.99, learned they do for all customers, just making me think, that they are doing something for me. Still agreed to everything they asked and offered, as I believe what they said. Today when they came for install, things were different from what they have said, no free camera and also explained the duration of camera was only 30 seconds and clarity was not good. I choose not to go through with installation, as I feel they have are not the same company I dealt with years back. Looks like their motto is to sell everything (which they should) but with no customer experience behind it. Even though they would have generated revenue from me, but looks like they are care more about policies. I have been in customer experience industry for last 15 years, but this is the first time I wrote a Negative feedback, as I feel their brand had failed me today. Thanks.

I have had ADT for over 15 years. The last year I have found out some real truths about the character and reliability of this company. First, after a long Chicago winter I noticed a wire attached to a box on my front lawn. It turns out this is the only power source to my alarm system. I remember the day it must have got caught in my snowblower because it fried the belt and had to bring it in for repair (that was December by the way).
Unbeknown to me ADT didn't even know my system was disconnected and then lied that they were monitoring me the whole time up to my service phone call to gave them out to fix it. At that point between the lies and the treatment on the phone I cancelled ADT. They told me at that time I would need to pay for this month because of the 30 day out agreement (that was March). I paid even though they haven't been monitoring anything since December. Now fast forward to April and lo and behold I was billed on April 7 and they say it was not 30 days LMAO. This company is a sham. Be careful if you have a break in because I dont believe they really know.

My name is Lesley **. I have been a customer of ADT or other companies that have been bought out by ADT such as Protectron for at least 30 years at my current location. I have also had an account with ADT/Protectron at another location for 15 years. Last year I was approached by ADT to upgrade to their new technology at my home location on West 6th. I agreed to this. Then they suggested I do it at the other location of West 13th. Once more I agreed. Since then my husband who was using the second residence has died. In clearing up his estate and selling the apartment it has become necessary to end the agreement with ADT.
When I notified ADT of this, a very rude person (I believe his name was Jeff, not sure) became quite aggressive and shouted a number of times to say that I had to pay a penalty of $1500. Now I do not have a copy of the contract that he told me I had signed. If I did sign such an agreement I would like a copy of it, please. I asked to speak to the Supervisor. He told me the Supervisor was busy but that he, the Supervisor, would call me back within 48 hours. He has not. I have had no communication from ADT since then. I have asked the buyers of the apartment whether they would take over the system but they declined as they have their own alarm company. Considering how long I have been a customer and that I will still be a customer at my other address going forward would you consider some alleviation of the penalty that I have been told I must pay.

Last night around 8:00 pm a young man came to my door ringing the bell and knocking. I have a sign, eye level taped to my storm door that says NO TRESPASSING, I asked him if he saw my sign and he looked at the alarm sign on the ground by the step and said "yes, I am trying to replace it" I said "No, the sign on my door." He then read it and said he didn't know if it meant no trespassing in the yard or on the porch (how stupid of a response is that?) Anyway, I need you to keep your people off my property and respect my signs. Next time I will not be so nice and have them arrested for trespassing. I used to have ADT for years then your prices got crazy so I moved to a service that is just as good if not better because I received updated equipment. Bottom line, stop sending door to door people at night to places that CLEARLY indicate not to trespass.

I've been using ADT for eight years. We have a landline so everything is set up if we have a fire or smoke or a window or door intrusion, the alarm goes off when we have it set. We have codes that they call to deactivate it or not, to have the police come. It is monitored. And we have two keypads in our house. One at the main house to the other end. Their reps were very easy to work with. I was going to cancel the monitoring service, but they made me a deal so I stuck with them. In fact, we just had the alarm go off the other day. It was rather comical, they called me and, of course, I couldn't remember our password. We had three emergency contacts and they called each one of our adult children who were all standing in the same room with me because we were at an Easter event. It was hysterical. Anyway, they called right away and I'm 100% satisfied with their service.

We've had ADT for 25 years. We have a basic alarm with the door sensors, the contact box, and the infrared detectors. We’ve been thinking about upgrading the cameras. The representatives have been courteous. When we happened to set off the smoke detector, they called quickly and they handled the situation very well, but we’ve not actually had a real alarm yet. Also, we had a new door put in and we had a technician come out to put the alarm on it. It was a glass door and it was one of those impact doors. The technician came out and he was very helpful, and he did everything very quickly. We have all kinds of companies wanting us to change our security provider, but I just stay with ADT.

I was scheduled to have video cameras installed outside my home on 3/31/18 from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. I was called later in the morning by ADT to tell me that the technician was running late and that the technician would be able to come to my home after 12:30 p.m. that day. Since, I was waiting for the technician to arrive since 7:30 a.m. I therefore did not want to waste my whole Saturday waiting for the arrival of the technician and the installation of the video cameras. I therefore re-scheduled on that Saturday for installation of the video cameras for that Wednesday since I knew it would be sunny in the morning and mild in the 60's. I had an appointment on April 4th with a schedule window from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
On Wednesday morning, I received a phone call from ADT stating that they had to cancel the appointment that day. I was told by ADT that it was going to thunderstorm that day and the technician would not be able to install the cameras in the rain. However, from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. it was sunny and mild and the rain did not begin until 12:30 p.m. that day. ADT offered to re-schedule again but I was very agitated and told them that if I do call back, I will make sure it is sunny and mild. I do not understand if I have a 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. window, aren't I the first customer to be service. If the technician is delayed, how come ADT does not send another technician to conduct the installation? Other professionals do the same, if one technician is delayed the company will send another technician to the home.

Hello Dana. We're so sorry for this frustrating experience with trying to have your cameras set up. We'll reach out to your local ADT office on your behalf and have them follow up on this experience. Thank you. -Andrew

My parents had a house in New Jersey which was alone and got broken into no less than eight times. So, we have an appreciation of what really needs to be done for security and when we built the house, we were very interested in being secure because it was alone for a long time. When their installation team came out, they did a quick breakdown of everything, showed up when they were supposed to and how they were supposed to show up. They put in a good system and behaved the way they were supposed to.
However, the most recent events were a little disconcerting because we’ve had a couple of false alarms there. But we’d rather have false alarms than non-actual alarms. So, if the system is overly sensitive, that’s fine with us. One of their guys said that it might be a battery problem in the tub room. But that was replaced within the year and they were supposed to last more than a year. Our real concern here, though, is that this could be a ploy on the part of the not-so-nice people who are actually smarter than they ought to be. What they do is they have the alarms triggered off a whole bunch of times then the people and the cops get tired of going to check it out, and we’ll get a break-in for real.
We will be up there in June and we would really like to have a visit from ADT by then so we'd give them a call before we get up there. We don’t want the local police to get tired of hearing about us so we got to get to the bottom of what’s going on. Other than that, we've been ADT customers for three years now and we like them.

I understood we had to buy out our contract. We received a notice on October 13, 2017. I called and documented all the calls and logged in all the CSRs I spoke with. I set up payment arrangements. I spoke with the original rep for ADT and he assured me when we get to our permanent home we could be refunded the $1000.00 for our buy out if we signed up with ADT.
I paid $500.00 the month of November and set up auto pay for $250.00 each month until balance was paid in full which would have been February. In January we received a statement from a collection agency and ADT dropped the ball and sent it by mistake and I was told they could not get the account back from collections once it has been turned over. I would rather hire an armed guard to watch my home than ever used this company again. Just know word of mouth travels fast!!!! I would not recommend this company to anyone!!!! Not mad but real disappointed with this company. Honesty and integrity are not their strong points.

ADT has been fantastic in response and handling of our safety. We recently got a call about a motion sensor event. Since I was just home, I decided to check myself.

Able to diagnose the source of and correct the appearance of the sensor report on Pulse ADT. Was able to reassure us that the sensor was active though unseen on the zone list since it’s install. Also clarified why I typically get disconnect alert on many Sundays that clears when I log on to my Pulse ADT site. Repair specialist was prompt, courteous, relaxed and communicated well. He addressed our concerns. After the visit and some reading on the ADT site I wonder if he should have considered replacing the battery in our wall unit as it apparently requires a technician and may be necessary on the next year.

I’ve had ADT for at least nine years and I’ve been very satisfied. A few times, their reps responded to me when I fell in the house and their response time was very good. I had the hardware all done over recently because there were some problems with the box, the alarm, and the ceiling. They came over and readjusted everything. Also, they put a new battery in.
However, I always felt that if I were really having a heart attack, it took them a long time, almost a minute to get back to me, and I could’ve died before then. They weren’t that rapid because it’s such a big company, and it’s global so it takes a long time for them to respond right away. But fortunately, I have not had those incidents. On the other hand, a couple of times when I thought I closed the doors and I got into my car, I heard from them immediately, saying, “Your alarm is going.” And I realized that I might not have closed the door tightly enough.
I go off to New York or other places, and the only place it’s good for is in my home and around the grounds, and I really need coverage elsewhere. I don’t know how it's going to be when I move. The place I’m going to is an assisted living place and they may have their own system over there. Other than that, I’ve already recommended ADT.

I can follow this up with a 4 star for the second representative (Allen) who helped me, but this is about Sarah, a customer representative who claims she has worked as a CSR for over 10 years with the company. I recently called to cancel my account and it should be a pretty easy process, I sent a written letter to the provided email over 1 month ago (amscresicancels@adt.com) and still my account was not canceled. So I was unfortunate to receive Sarah (who knows if that's her real name) to help me, she was very pushy and wouldn't let me speak.
When I asked her name so I can refer back to whom I spoke with if this continues (billing me) to happen, I could hear her giggling in the background. I think she was thinking I would report her, but in my experiences, I need a paper and contact trail. Very unprofessional, especially when your job is to help us. At the end of the day, she hung up on me, I didn't even think that was even possible since most CSRs cannot hang up unless the customer does.
That upset me so much, I decided to create this account and tell this story. I called right back and Allen was able to assist me exactly how a CSR should. He was helpful, insightful and empathetic to my situation. I would give that guy a bonus. I would just want someone in ADT's customer experience and strategy department to use my recorded conversation for this case and a staple of what and what not to do when dealing with customers. I can provide a case number if needed. Sarah = 0 Stars. Allen = 10 Stars.

We’ve been living here for a while, over 18 years and it’s the first time that ever happened. It was just a little hard for my wife to push the button in all the way. The problem is that the keypad, we had it since we moved here in 1999. It was old or maybe the contacts weren’t making proper contacts. But it was replaced and everything is good. I even test it out at night. I’ll have the motion detector off and I’ll raise my hand and I can see the lights blinking from red to green, so it’s working. I would highly recommend ADT.

Do not use ADT! They use third party sellers to promote their products and they do not hold these third party sellers accountable for what they say. If you had asked me a few days ago how I liked ADT, I would have given them 5 stars. I like the system features and the install was great. However, when I bought the ADT system, I was promised a $100 Visa Gift card as part of the package. I find out now when trying to collect on it that I am required to send in a cashier's check or money order for $4.95 to get my $100. That's a cost of at least $10 to get the $100. Plus it takes at least 6-8 weeks to get the money. According to many complaints on the web it typically takes much, much longer and some people say they never got it. Finally, if you don't fill out the form within 30 days, you are no longer eligible.
Always be skeptical about any company that has to use practices like this to get people to buy their product. Ironically, I feel like I just got ripped off by the company that was supposed to be protecting me from being ripped off. ADT - You are a reputable company, but your third party promoter "Defenders" says anything to get people to sign. They use double talk and confusing figures. They outright lie. This $4.95 fee is a sleazy business practice. Oh, and when I called you about this, I was told I had to talk to them. When I called them, they said that this was their policy, that they never change it and that I couldn't talk to the customer service supervisor about it, because they already get so many complaints.

We have had service with ADT over four months and are very unhappy with the recent events that are making us chose to leave your company and being told that we can’t have our money back. In November of 2017 we had sales rep Jackson ** come to our home and present what you all had to offer us. One of big questions for us was there going to an issue with us moving and being able to take everything that we just agreed upon with us. He clearly stated, "No, ADT will gladly take all your equipment with you and reinstall at your new address no issues."
We have moved and set up an appointment with you all again to get this done at our new home. We had now sales rep Craig ** come to our new home and start to tell us that we need to repay everything all over again. We told him that in November of 2017 we paid $1,776.40 to ADT yet he wants us to now pay $1,230 which means within 4 months we are paying ADT $3,006.40. This is ridiculous and we won’t be paying all over again for something we were told wasn’t going to cost us. Plus we’ve had other issues with cameras the batteries not working having to reorder.
Calling your so called customer service line and speaking to countless reps who tell us they are taking notes of our issues and that we will be contacted and so forth. Then WE are the ones that have to call back because we never hear anything back. We are told just have to deal with it. Well we aren’t going to just deal with it. You all clearly state a 6 month or less money back guarantee and that is what we are asking so we can just leave your company and go elsewhere with our business. We are very prepared to get our lawyers involved if it needs to go farther than speaking to you.

I returned from 2 weeks out of the country to discover my alarm had been activated in my absence. To avoid unwanted international charges, my smartphone was only set to access free wi-fi for emails. Upon return I immediately saw that ADT had made notifications to my landline and cellular voicemails and not getting a response had sent local law enforcement to check my home. Fortunately, it appears to have been only a window sensor problem, a combination of a weak battery and the window not being completely latched before I left and probably reacting to wind.
