On April 13, ADT was installed through a third party vendorThe install appeared to be going smoothlyHowever during a specific time during the install the technician asked to use the restroom, I consented and shortly after what appeared as the tech using the restroom there was a knock at the front door, the knocker as the sheriffs department had arrived to say they were dispatched due to a Alarm tamper callI knocked on the restroom door to show the tech was installing at the residentsThere was no company car so my assumption they would thought I was tampering with AlarmThe tech came out startled and kept saying I can give you my alarm tech ID# but never endulged into the informationThe tech said that I could have online access for more per month; not trueThe tech had me sign a waiver to offset any trial mode for the alarm system; trial period never waived; loss occurred on 4/16/due to no dispatch of policeSeveral malfunctions with system including wiring i

I called Defenders Inc at the beginning of to have a security system installed Over the phone, they quoted me a price for security installation and said that there may be add-ons to the price My understanding was that I would be able to safely secure my home for the base price which was a few hundred dollars In addition, I would be paying a monthly fee of $ I also understood that I had a period of time to rescind my order with all of my money back if there was any reason I was not satisfied with the system I was ok with this deal
On the day of installation our installer, CS***, said he needed to install the wall unit first thing After he did this, he went through my home and discussed how to properly secure it When all was said and done, he quoted me a price of well over $just for the monitoring system This did not include the monthly $with a year contract
This was well over the price that I had anticipated and I did not sign the

When initially signing up with defenders/ADT I was informed if I moved to a new address where an alarm system is not allowed or cannot be installed then my contract would be cancelled and I further fees or penalties incurred
I moved in with another person and am currently renting a room and they already have an alarm systemHowever Defenders /ADT charged me the remaining balance on the contract despite what I had been informedThey threatened to send the balance to a collection agency and were extremely rudeThe balance was over $1,and I was forced to pay it or else they threatened to send the balance to a collection agencyHad I know this from the beginning or had at least been informed I never would have used this awful, disrespectful company

ADT Defenders is one of the worst companies when it comes to customer care, billing, and product quality I was having billing issues in September after multiple requests in months prior for the company to send me a bill in the mail to which I understood the charge of a small service fee to my address on file so that I could call at my convenience and make my payments over the phoneI had to call ADT directly in order to get someone to pay attention to me and my billing issuesI even asked ADT to buy out my contract with Defenders because, the amount of atrosis problems I was having with DefendersRepswould hang up phone on purposewhen you asked a question that was too difficult reps would hang up, reps would argue over the phoneetcAfter, speaking with a supervisor with ADT and Defenders customer Care I was told that September billing month would be taken care of after all the, "hassle" I had been throughAfter this, I never received a collection call until Dece

After I contacted ADT from the flyer I have I was told that the amtwould be $99., I explained I would not have the money until 3/28/18, I spoke with Tariah S*** #I immediately got a call back offering me installation for $45.00, I agreed and set the date of installation 3/15/ After the equipment was installed I was asked what date could they take payment from my bank acctI agreed to 4/1/because I live off fixed income and the first of each month I get my moneywell, the next day they stole $out of my acctwhich overdrew my acct I explained this to the installer that I did not want payment on the 19th When I saw my account with no money I called ADT and was given the Defender 800-689-9554, I called and spoke to Maggie #who transferred me to and Manager Thelma 866-746-I asked why they stole my money she was rude and told me to send in the cancellation form and my money would be returnedI went and faxed the form on 3/17/and waited until t

They said they would install outdoor cameras and at the door and they don't even install out cameras come to find out
The installer said he would be back to install the outdoor cameras in a text message and never came back and he promised free ones to come out on WednesdayTuesday midnight was the cut off for the contract cancelation

I signed up for home security system with monthly monitoring service of $a month how ever when the tech came and installed the system he stated he had no paperwork to give me that it would be emailed to meI asked several times that it cost $a month to confirm, which the tech Donald S*** confirmed, he then proceeded to put a inch in diameter hole in my freshly painted wall for the keypad even though I confirmed that it should have gone through my phone lineWhen the tech left I checked my email and saw the contract stated $a month and a signature that was not mineI called Adt- protect your home and they stated they would come back tomorrow and down grade meThe following day a different tech came with a smaller key pad which didn't even cover the hole and stated the previous tech should not have made that hole in my wallAt this point I canceled my serviceI found this to be a bait and switch from what I thought was a reputable company and I was very disapp

I had an alarm system installed on the 20th of May Since then I have had two different service men at my home to repair the system besides the original installer that's within a week and a half The system has finally been repaired so it seems so far But the inconvience and undo stress of the faulty system because I went out of town and couldn't use the system because of multiple alarms after being told for a second time it was working properly It took a third tech to repair the system The purpose of this system was to keep my house safe from a particular person while I was out of town and the company was told that before installation and at the second attempt to repair system
Also I have called on three separate occasions and had a tech call in to get a copy of my installation agreement so that I can submit for their advertised $gift card and have been told multiple things on different occasions and still have not received my contract I have less than thre

I don't even know where to beginFrom the moment the "authorized representative" came to install my system, he lied about the cost and contract termsHe told me it was a three year contract, which we could either continue with in our present residence, transfer it to buyers of our house, or take with us when we movedWe discussed one thing and he installed much more After spending hours installing what I had asked him to install, he told me the price was much higher than what we originally discussedI paid him approximately $over what I was quotedWhen I asked him why the price was higher, he said he could dismantle the entire systemBut he had already put a large hole in my wallI was very frustrated but wrote the check because I thought I was dealing directly with ADT, which I thought was a well-known and trusted companyAnd the whole reason we were getting the alarm is because we had had squatters move in next door and were afraid to leave the kids at home without a

My grandfather *** *** passed away in February I provided ADT and Defenders with his death certificate and letter to switch services to my name in MarchI called 9/to switch services to my new address in Idaho only to learn they never switched services to my nameyet since March they have been charging my credit card for servicesOver the weekend and several times since March I have confirmed they received the death certificate and letterToday Defenders claim they never got the death certificateI sent it again along with the email and fax from MarchI am getting the run aroundI feel that they ADT and Defenders committed fraudThey had the death certificate on file and keep the contract open under a dead persons name and charged me for the servicesNow I am trying to cancel the services again now that I am moving only to get the run aroundIn May I learned that ADT/Defenders were charging me for the home in Great Falls and another home we shared in Mississippi

This company is nothing but a bunch of liarsI was told that if I was unhappy with my adt service in six months that it would be no problem cancellingWell I called about a month in and of course they gave me a run around and wanted me to pay the percent of what was left on the supposed contractThey are the meanest customer service people I have ever talked toThey are not helpful and just keep switching you around to different people hoping you hand upAs anyone can see by the other complaints im not lyingCancel my contract for no feeThere is no reason you people should get an a+ ratingRevdex.com is a fake!

THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! If I could give zero stars I wouldBiggest mistake I ever made, is calling this companyI reported ADT Defender Security to the Revdex.comThis company is a bunch of thieves and liarsI don't even know where to begin
When I made my first call I had spoken with a sales person and supervisor Jordan J*** Employee #We agreed on installing indoor camera and outdoor cameras, maybe I called to reconfirm something and spoke with, I think Ervin employee #He confirmed the exterior and interior camerasLondon from Defenders came out to installed the cameras and systemHe said they were out of stock of exteriors but will put in interior camerasI said no I will wait and he said okayHe will notify me when they are in stockSo the next day I call back to ask when the will have cameras in stock because my mom wants to get a system installed, they tell me they don't do outside cameras at allIt's been over a year!! I was so furiousI was lied to and scammed into signing a year contractThey KNEW they couldn't provide me with what I wantI spoke with April employee #the account service manager on July 9, said she was going to expedite my refund of $and $immediatelyAlmost weeks later, NOTHING!! I've called and called and I get the complete run aroundIf I could cancel, I wouldI will tell everyone to avoid this company

Last week I called for a simple quote which they gave meHowever in order keep the price/quote they required that a hold be placed on my banking account for $plus tax which they assured me would not be charged until we booked hebservice and would drop off if decided not to go with themThe day following the call for the quote, I received an email from my credit monitoring service they Defenders checked my credit! They NEVER asked for permission to do so or even mentioned a credit checkIf I knew they were doing this, I would have said forget it as I am trying to buy a house and any credit checks can jeopardize this with the mortgage companyThis is illegal!
So I immediately called and said I wanted to cancel the quote and wanted them to drop the hold on my accountThe manager I spoke to supposedly listed to the previous days call and confirmed that they never asked for a credit checkI was assured that they processed the refund
I then checked my bank account and instead of

Good Afternoon,
I want to file a complaint on the below ticket noI am livid at the experience I received and as a result declined to do business and want this ubauthorized hard inquiry removed immediately
Ticket no***
I am a new homeowner who called to get additional information on ADT I was not intially impressed with the service offerings but was then transferred to a manager who was able to “supposedly sweeten the deal” we talked a bit and I agree to provide the last of social / and DOB to have a technician come out and review the home to see if I was interested in signing up for service when the young lady asked for a CC to secure the appointment I declined the service and hung up the call at no point did she gain my permission to run my credit because this was not authorized and I am livid this was done after the call was ended without my permission I want this hard inquiry removed immediately and I want the company to have a document of the unethical busines

I had a confirmed appointment this morning between and am for installation of a security system I ordered over three weeks agoI've been out of town since the order and only returned yesterday when I heard the two messages they left on my home phoneWhen I called back this morning they informed me theyd cancelled my appointmentNo email and no call on my cell phoneThey just cancelledThey are a "premier" adt service providerI beg to differThough they had the other contact info for me, they didn't use them before cancellingIt is extremely difficult for me to be home for an installationBut they said they would not come out todayThey have an A+ rating on your site, but I would caution anyone from doing business with them

This is something that I made a previous complaint about the service for Defenders with ADTI had the service from August and I had been having many problems with the service and every time I called they told me it would usually be days before I could get an appointment and then it was with a hour windowI work jobs so it is very difficult for me to have to make appointments and then have a hour windowEvery time I made an appointment the service would start working again so I would cancel the appointment since it was difficult to begin withThen in May I got to the point where I just wanted to cancel the service and I was advised I would have to pay $1,in order to cancel so I file a complaint with the Revdex.comThey contacted Brianna from Defenders who contacted meShe said that in order to cancel the service without changes they would have to have a Tech come look at my equipment so I agreedWhen the Tech came to my house he said as soon as he looked at my equipment

I am completely unaware of the issue with Defenders, I received a voicemail from a blocked number for a carrier service stating they are looking to deliver mail that is to be signed and stated to contact 'CSP' for more information or to change delivery information I called the number on the voicemail (888-959-3363) and advised of the Docket number that was left to me on the voicemail (***) and a VERY RUDE women answer and stated that I did not pay my bills and something about a contract and collections have been trying to contact me via mail I asked if I can received the correspondence, since I have not received any mail from Defenders She stated she does not have that and cannot send and that this was a notice of intent and the final recommendation and I owe $and try my luck in court and hung the phone up I am looking for any communications in regards to this information During that time I went through a divorce and I am fighting my ex for items that were still

Sept contract states "no increase in charges unless notified", we were not notified and charges increased Apr As per contract,"IF I OBJECT IN WRITING [NOTICE DELIVERED TO DEFENDERS BY REG MAIL ON 06/26/@ 2:33PM] WITHIN DAYS OF RECEIVING NOTICE [NO NOTICE EVER RECEIVED] OF INCREASE, & IF "DEALER' DOES NOT WAIVE THE INCREASE, THEN I MAY TERMINATE THIS CONTRACT EFFECTIVE DAYS AFTER DEALER'S RECEIPT OF MY WRITTEN NOTICE OF TERMINATIONIN THIS SITUATION, I WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY THE CONTRACT TERMINATION CHARGES DESCRIBED IN EARLY TERMINATION
I called Defenders on Aug 01, to further confirm cancellation and was transferred to an ADT representative who said ADT was not notified of letterContract states notifying Dealer which is who Defenders is/was and that was doneADT representative Gregory said she is not authorized to cancel and honor contract because ADT was not notifiedI stated that as per contract I notified Defenders, who is/was the ADT Dealer as c

***Last year when I bought a new home, I signed up for ADT through Protect your homeI was paying premium for about months when I found out that security system was not workingApparently there was some internet issue and ADT could not fix it even after sending their agent like times to my home, for which BTW I took days off that were without pay because I had recently changed jobs
When after visits when they could not fix it, they cancelled my service and I stopped getting billsThey also gave me a $gift card to somewhat compensate the money I had already paid to themEverything was okie so far
But after about months, I started getting calls from Protect your home saying that I need to make my paymentsI called them back and explained how ADT had cancelled my service themselves so I should not be asked to pay for the contract cancellationThe agent said he will verify this with ADT, but I kept on getting system calls like everydaySoemtimes I would pick
