Only putting one star bc you have to put something. I agree that this company is a bunch of liars and cheats who will do anything for a sale. Here is a play by play of my experience:
1. An installer came to my residence to install the alarm system. We do not have WIFI at this residence, and as such the installer was not able to load the document he was asking me to sign. He stated that the document was a work order and that l should "just go ahead and sign it" so that he could complete his work. I was misinformed about what I was signing and felt pressured to sign the document that wasn't loading, as I thought I could trust what l was being told that what I was signing was a "work order."
2. My domestic partner was the one who scheduled this installation and he was not at the home the day the installer came to install the system, due to an unforeseen circumstance. My partner was not told there was a contract for these services. He was told there was a month to month service fee, and that l, his partner, could receive the installer at the home to set up the system.
3. We were told that there did not need to be WIFI at the residence for the alarm system to work properly.
After over three weeks of issues with the alarm system not working properly, I contacted ADT directly and spoke with a tech representative named "Paola" who informed me that the reason the system was not working properly was because we needed to have WIFI at the residence.
4. I called the company on 5/23 to report these findings from ADT and to ask to speak to a top manager in order to report these various problematic business practices above and to come to some kind of amicable agreement. The representative informed me that they were the "top of the line" and that there was "nobody else to speak to about this issue. You signed a contract, you have to pay." They refused to acknowledge their company's poor business practices, which are actually ILLEGAL. After a great deal of pleading, this representative offered to have the sales manager of their Oklahoma division call me in 24-48 hours. It has now been over two weeks and nobody has called me.
5. This morning I called Safe Haven in an attempt to give them one last chance to follow through with getting me in touch with the promised Oklahoma Sales Manager. This time they stated that "Since you've been in contact with the Better Business Bureau, we can no longer speak with you directly and will not be having any Sales Manager call you." They once again told me l am subject to the early cancellation fee for a service I was told would work without WiFl, which was a misrepresentation of services. This product does not and will not work without WIFI.
This continued back and forth is coming from a customer service representative in different state who has no idea of what has actually happened in this instance, and instead of listening to the consumer and escalating this (hopefully) unique matter to the appropriate party or parties, is reading from a script and offering no actual customer service. They refuse to get me in contact with anyone higher up in the company. They are expecting the consumer to simply pay a bill for a service that was misrepresented to them, and to abide a "contract" that was also misrepresented as a "work order" by an installation person.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! Call ADT directly! read more
