Bad Customer Service

In January 2026 ADT replaced my transmitter. on Saturday 28 march my alarm went off. i got automated call and i cancelled response callout. after that i received 2 calls from ADT, rang once then call drops. Armed response then came to my complex. i saw your security guy at my gate entrance, then i saw him leaving. i opened the gate with my remote, he came in. I have ADT securegate, i asked why he did not use remote to open and enter. he said he has 2 remotes and does not work. Not sure why they dont report this back to HO. i then asked him to notify ADT. i am not sure if it has to be reset as we changed the transmitter. I am still waiting ADT response re my securegate not working. on monday 30 march 2026, i called ADT and mentioned the above. they asked if i am at residence to test, i was not. They said they would call back 7.30pm to test, which to date i am still waiting the call. I also received sms 19 march 2026 that i exceeded my monthly responses and must pay R345, i did explain above how after automated call and cancelling calls i am getting missed calls form ADT, then they sending response, this also happened in february. She mentioned that she will get the branch to contact me regarding this, i am still waiting for this.

I received a call 14 apr26, from your staff that deals with hellopeter enquiring if the technician had called to arrange to come check my securegate. I mentioned to her that nobody had called to arrange. i also mentioned in my review that after the alarm is triggered and i successfully cancel callout, i gets calls from ADT that drop, then they send out their armed response.. nobody has called me to check and test regarding that. Seems my security is not a priority to your company. Appalling customer service i have received over past year dealing with ADT. only results i get is through hellopeter and then also just another blunder to deal with. please can you attend to this matter ASAP,

i am still awaiting a reply from ADT regarding this matter. My query was 9 apr 2026 and it is still outstanding, even after posting here twice on Hellopeter. Why is ADT not attending to this matter.

I called ADT and arranged myself, as not getting much response here via ADT hellopeter. ADT came last week to try repair. they came over 2 days to sort. i just got a call earlier that they testing the securegate. panic was activated. armed response came out and the securegate unit is still not work. please advise when this will be repaired. if they unable to repair then they must refund me for that securegate unit and remove. please advise as this matter is outsatnding since 28 apr 2026 and we are already in June.
