Clients are just a number towards the sales target to ADT!

My parents property was broken into on a Friday. They have had ADT for over a decade as loyal customers might I add. The culprits gone into the house through the roof and cut the alarm wires from there. ADT phoned my mother and brother (who is the secondary contact) and because we had a family engagement both did not answer the call. that was on Friday at 7:10pm. On Sunday when my parents got home around 2:30pm they found their house a mess. I phoned ADT on Sunday at 4:10pm and the lady said the alarm had lost signal on Friday and they called ONCE and had sent their guard who had done an external assessment. We do not have proof of that assessment as no note was left and I cannot comprehend how ADT prides itself in being a security of choice when they can go with an elderly clients system being off signal for over 2 days and phone ONCE and get no response yet be okay with that. So much could have been going wrong in the house and they would never have known.

I sent an email to them asking for the report of how the matter was handled since the alarm system going off. I have not received ANY FEEDBACK since my email which I sent Monday morning.

I realise that to ADT my parents are a number which is why when they came to fix the arm they left a quote so that my parents can get more beams. Go figure! The extent of ADTs commitment!

We are in receipt of the above complaint.  

Please urgently provide us with you parents details to trace the premises on our data base.  Please also advise which branch they would fall under.

We will then escalate this to the relevant department's Manager to call to further discuss.

My parents live on Kingsway Road, Athlone Park in Amanzimtoti.
Mthembu is their surname.

I am glad you are able to respond to Hellopeter because the email I sent on 26 September which has not been responded to has all the details.

Dear Beee M

Thank you.  We will escalate this to the Armed Response Manager to call you to further address and possibly resolve.

I do see that a technician was dispatched today to your premises address.

I am more interested in a report about how ADT reacted to the incident from Friday than a phone call.
As a family we wish to get to a point where we are confident that our parents are safe with ADT as the security company. I would therefore appreciate a response to my emails to ITOC@fidelity... and alwaysthere.c@fidelity

So as an organization do you have a policy that forbids employees to respond to a detailed email? why should I speak to a manager who by the way hasn't phoned me when I have detailed my questions on the email.
Again, your last response proves the lack of committment to being accountable for the security service or lack thereof that your customers pay for monthly. I do not need to speak to anyone. On sunday 25.09.22 we had 3 members from the armed response come to my parents house and not one of them could account. talking to the manager on the phone will not assist. he can check the email sent to the above mentioned adresses and send through a formal response IN WRITTING.
