Dear ADT Management,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding my ADT security service and the continued debit orders being deducted from my bank account despite my cancellation of the service.
I initially signed up with ADT when we were still occupying the premises. At the time, I was offered three months free, and the intention was to have the premises properly secured with the ADT alarm system, armed response, fencing and panic button.
Unfortunately, from the beginning, the service was not functioning as it should. The alarm, armed response, electric fencing and panic button were not working properly, despite numerous attempts to have these issues resolved.
I contacted ADT on numerous occasions and personally spoke to management regarding these problems. Despite repeatedly raising the matter, the problems were not satisfactorily resolved.
We subsequently moved out of the premises and I cancelled the ADT service because we were no longer occupying the property.
What is extremely concerning is that 11 months later, ADT is still deducting a debit order from my bank account every month, despite the service having been cancelled.
I have made numerous attempts to resolve this matter directly with ADT and have spoken to management, yet the debit orders have continued.
This is completely unacceptable. I should not have to repeatedly contact a company for almost a year to stop debit orders for a service that has been cancelled, particularly when the service itself was not functioning properly in the first place.
I therefore require ADT to:
Immediately stop all further debit orders against my bank account.
Provide me with a full statement of all amounts deducted from my account since the cancellation of the service.
Refund all amounts that were incorrectly deducted after the cancellation date.
Provide written confirmation that my account has been fully cancelled and closed, with no further amounts owing.
Investigate why my cancellation was not processed correctly despite my numerous communications with ADT and management.
Provide me with a written explanation as to why debit orders have continued for approximately 11 months after cancellation.
I have tried to resolve this matter directly and reasonably with ADT, but after numerous conversations and repeated assurances, the problem remains unresolved.
I am now bringing this complaint publicly through HelloPeter because the normal channels have failed to resolve the matter.
I expect ADT to take this complaint seriously and provide a written response and resolution without further unnecessary delays.
I reserve all my rights regarding the recovery of any amounts incorrectly deducted from my bank account.
I look forward to ADT's urgent response.
Kind regards,
Braam Senekal
