ADT Complaint - Avoid ADT! - Home Security System
Home Security System - Complaint
Avoid ADT. Buy a dog.
Reasons:
1: The alarm system will go off and wake you at night. You will wonder if there really is something to be afraid of, or if it is a fluke. Try getting back to sleep now!
2: Because of the above you won't want to turn the alarm system on at night. You need sleep, right? So you figure the alarm system won't wake you up if it is off. Wrong. If the phone company performs routine maint. at night as they OFTEN do the variation will cause your alarm to go off even if it is turned OFF. Yep!
So you have a system you are paying for but you really don't want to use it because it is annoying and you need your sleep. Time to cancel, right? WRONG.
ADT sales people will tell you that the contract is a formality, that if you call ADT and explain your reasons for wanting to cancel they will let you do so. Lies. Plan on getting a lump sum bill if you try to cancel. If you call to try to negotiate, let's say you want to pay half of what they think you owe them. Nope. They want that money and they will turn you over to collections to get it.
They simply do not care about having happy customers. They will lure you in with "free" security equipment and get a contract signed, and after that is is too bad for you. You have been suckered in and you are stuck with whatever service they provide or a nice fat bill if you cancel.
Stay away.
