"Upon review of the customers account, it was discovered that his alarm panel/keypad was obsolete and no longer serviceable; which prompted ADT to offer the customer an upgraded panel/keypad. The original keypad is much larger than the upgraded system’s keypad and left a gap on the customer’s wall. After the customer presented ADT with a copy of his contractor’s invoice for services rendered, ADT issued a $75 credit to the customer’s account to offset the cost he would have to pay for the repair. The customer has also requested to break the three (3) year agreement that he entered into when the system was upgraded. The customer was advised that the contract is valid and per a recording of the upgrade set-up that was reviewed, he agreed to those terms. Thank you. -Andrew"
"We're sorry to hear the customer was not happy with the service. We would've been happy to discuss an agreement in regards to lowering the customers rate prior to discontinuing the services with ADT. Additionally, we do not show any records of the customer requesting a service appointment to address any false alarms that may have occurred. Thank you."
Do trust their systems. We have had no issues with equipment since starting with Brinks in the mid 1990's to now
Do feel as if you are getting good value, although their pricing for the monitoring of individual sensors does seem a bit high
Do ensure you get a name and record details if you have challenges with customer service, as this group appears to be in need of more training to ensure they are offering consistent and complete answers to all of your questions
Just to be clear, I'm rating the salesman Matt Rice and the customer service tech. I spoke to on the phone with regards to Price, Responsiveness, and Professionalism. I'm rating the Installation Technician Mark on Quality, Punctuality.
I called ADT to ask about an upgrade to my system and they put me in touch with Matt Rice who is apparently one of their regional sales reps.
Watch out for Matt Rice!!!! He came over to give me a quote on an upgrade for my system. He was friendly and courteous and gave me several quotes and the answers I asked for. Over the next 2 days we talked on the phone and he gave me answers to a couple of other questions I had and I chose one of his quotes to get work done. He said that he'd mail out the work request form that day for me to sign. A week later I didn't have anything, so I called him again. He said he didn't know why I didn't get it, but he'd mail it again. I asked him to call me before he mailed it to double-check the mailing address. He never called, I never got anything. I left him a message another week later telling him that I still hadn't gotten anything and I needed him to rectify the situation and I was hoping he hadn't mailed personal information to the wrong address. No response. A many more calls over many more days. No response. To this day, I haven't heard from this guy again.
I called ADT directly again and told them of my experience with Matt Rice and I got the "well, sorry, we don't have any records of any of this" treatment as well as "well what was he going to send you?" My response, "how should I know, he's the sales guy, not me!". So they said that he didn't need to send me anything and they would just schedule up a service call. Then they started mentioning some fees that Matt never mentioned. Matt was very clear that the prices he quoted me were "the final price, with no hidden fees. This is what you'll pay!". I told the lady on the phone this and she said that she had no record of it and if I want the work done, I have to pay their price. So with no alternative, I scheduled it up.
The service guy arrives on time and was very courteous. I asked him the price and it was $100 more than what Matt quoted. $90 service charge and $10 gas charge!!! For this job, that was a 50% price increase.
I didn't take it out on the technician because I knew he had nothing to do with it, but Matt Rice and the phone tech. are both liars. I have no faith in this company. And we're supposed to trust them with our Home Security!? For the record, I am only staying with them until I have the time to investigate alternatives that can use the existing infrastructure of sensors. Then I'm leaving these crooks behind.
