We received no help from Scott Alarm and we stopped the noise by removing the battery. When the power came back on at 2 in the morning, the system blared again. Two police officers came in response to the alarm and assisted us in disconnecting the sound device. While they were in our home, we called Scott Alarm 3 times, each time being told they would connect us to their service department. No one in the service department ever answered, even after we had explained that police officers were in our home trying to assist us with the alarm. Since that time, we have left numerous detailed messages which have never been answered. We are paying for an alarm system that has left us unprotected for 5 days and we are outraged! There seems to be no way to get this company to perform according to our contract with them. We tried to stop payment to them and there was no way to do this. If anyone has a suggestion on how to get relief from this company, please post that as soon as possible.

Predatory practices and harassment of the elderly…read more I am appalled by ADT's refusal to honor my elderly mother's cancellation requests. She sent a letter in October and called in November, yet reps repeatedly ignored her "no," circling back with sales pitches until she was forced to hang up. It took me stepping in and threatening to record the call in January for them to finally process the request - but only after 45 minutes of bullying. They continued billing her for months after she legally requested a stop. If you value honesty and respect for seniors, stay far away from this company. They don't provide security; they provide harassment.

No one has been able to make the beeping stop. I have tried to contact ADT Corporate headquarters, but their listed phone number only directs one to the local customer support department. ADT has been totally incompetent!!!

I'm writing this because today's interaction with Atlantic Security was so unprofessional that it…read moregenuinely shocked me. Months ago, I called Atlantic for a quote on a system. I decided to keep researching, because unlike many customers, I don't jump into expensive security decisions blindly. After doing extensive research, I determined that the DSC NEO system was the right fit for me. I contacted Atlantic Security again and requested a quote specifically for the NEO. The quote came back at over $5,000, which was unnecessarily high, so I declined politely. A few months later, I purchased the DSC NEO directly from Tyco Integrated / Johnson Controls--the manufacturer. Today, I called Atlantic Security to inquire about installation and monitoring. Instead of receiving normal customer service, I was spoken to with a snarky, condescending attitude by a representative named Laina. She told me they were "not interested in doing business with me" and that I had "wasted their time multiple times." This is completely unacceptable. Comparing prices, researching equipment, and ensuring I make the right decision on a multi-thousand-dollar security system is not "wasting time." That is called being a smart consumer. These are major decisions--not impulse purchases. Here's the part Atlantic clearly didn't bother to consider: My father's company is a major corporation with multiple homes, buildings, and commercial sites--every one of which is secured and monitored. He is one of Atlantic Security's largest clients. In addition: I personally own a large technology company, and the amount of future business Atlantic could have received from me alone is something they clearly can't even begin to fathom. Because of the disrespect I experienced from one representative, Atlantic Security has now jeopardized--and likely completely lost--two major long-term clients representing a massive amount of revenue. All because of one employee who chose to speak to a customer with rudeness, attitude, and zero professionalism. I will be filing a formal BBB complaint. At minimum, Atlantic Security needs to retrain or reassign Laina, because speaking to paying clients or potential clients that way is unacceptable in any industry--let alone the security industry. Congratulations, Atlantic Security. In a single phone call, you managed to lose a tremendous amount of business from two extremely large companies

Absolutely horrible. After being a customer for over 18 1/2…read moreyears, we have requested cancellation of our monitoring service. We gave them a chance to offer us a solution to remove the necessary wired phone line. They only offered us an option to pay $200 for a cellular communicator and then significantly INCREASE our monthly monitoring charge plus start again on a 3 year contract. Who would agree to this? 18 1/2 years as a customer isn't enough? To stay as a customer of their monitoring service we would now need to start all over on another 3 year contract. Is that reasonable? So we had to cancel, but Vector will not process it. When we called they said we had to email to cancel. When we emailed, they responded we had to call. What kind of company behaves this way? You can read other customer reviews here on yelp. Vector isn't even responding to these customer issues shown on Yelp. What does that tell you? Is that how a reputable organization behaves? We have now filed a Better Business Bureau complaint to get our billing stopped and the service cancelled. Should this be necessary to cancel a simple monitoring service after being a customer for 18 1/2 years?
