Total bait and switch. I signed up for their $36.99 rate with $99 equipment installation. The installer came in, walked around the house for a few minutes and suggested a location for the keypad near the front door. He then started drilling the holes into my wall and set it up. At that point he then walked the house some more and asked for 10 minutes while he went over potential weak spots in our security. He sat me down presented a quote for an additional $2,500 on top of the package that I had signed up for. At that point I told him that I was just going to stay with the package that I had signed up for. He told me that wasn't possible since he had installed the keypad on the other side of the house from my landline. He told me that he needed to upgrade me to the $44.95 monthly package in order to connect it to their cellular plan, otherwise he would leave with me a bunch of holes in my wall. There was no apology, no sympathy, it was almost as if he pushes these pressure tactics every single customer he visits. Here I am now paying an extra $8 a month for 36 months for an add-on that I didn't want or need. Thats $288 plus tax. This company scammed me out of more than $300.
Description of Work: They installed a security system separate from what we originally agreed on.

Response from ADT Security Services
Hello. After further review we found that the customer initially established services through an ADT authorized dealer, Defender Security / DBA Protect Your Home. We reached out to the dealer on the customers behalf and they indicated they will provide the customer with $300.00 visa gift cards. The customer indicated he was happy with the resolution/ Thank you. -Andrew

Awful. After several missed appointments or no shows I asked to just cancel. I was told no to read my contract which states that ADT does not have to do install in a timely manner. It took 5 months to complete the installation with them. Worst company I ever dealt with. They gave me a 5 month credit and said that was more than fair!!! Run.

ADT took over this company in 2008 and I have been paying ADT since then. These bills were for wireless backup service which was not even provided to me from either one of these companies. I called ADT to ask them what the deal with this was and they informed me that they bill directly. I am not asking for any money back, I just do not want this to affect my credit report.
Description of Work: I got two bills dated March of 2014 claiming that they were trying to reach me through email, mail, and phone (which was untrue) and telling me that they were going to cancel my service due to non-service. The billing dates were from 7/1/11-7/1/12 and 7/1/12-7/0/13. During these two billing periods they were not providing service to me.

Tried very hard to work with them but they cannot do basic things correctly such as showing up on time or with the right equipment to perform installation. If they will not return your call before the installation, what is their reliability after?
Description of Work: Rude people. Bait and switch.

The gentleman that came out from ADT was very professional and courteous to both my husband and I. He answered all our questions well, but we felt that spending a thousand dollars to install a new system when a competitor would do this for no charge at all was just too much money to spend. We decided to go with a competitor and will not use them again.
Description of Work: A salesman came out from ADT and pitched us on a new security system that they would install with a monthly monitoring charge. No further work or service was done by this contractor.
