****py service from ADT Security (Atlantic Seaboard, Cape Town)

ADT Security (Atlantic Seaboard, Cape Town) sent two technicians to my house to activate and install an alarm system. One of the technicians ****ped (had a ****) in my house and didn't clean it. When I confronted him about it, he admitted to having done it but didn't apologise and became quite stroppy and rude with me. The technicians left without completing the job. When I informed the ADT consultant who had presented the contract to me, he advised that he would get the installation manager to contact me about what had happened. I had to follow up with the ADT consultant before the installation manager eventually called me and his response was weak, to say the least. Both the ADT consultant and the installation manager assured me that they would send different technicians to complete the job. I had to call ADT several times to remind them that a booking needs to be made for the job to be completed. Eventually, a booking was made. But on the day that the job was booked again, the same technicians arrived. I had to contact ADT again and wait about two hours for a different technician to come. No-one at ADT including the installation manager could provide a satisfactory explanation as to why the same technicians had come to complete the job. In fact, the installation manager became stroppy on the phone with me and suggested that I try to procure an explanation from his line manager (district manager) who he said would contact me. I have yet to receive a call from the district manager. When I tried contacting the ADT consultant, it appears that he has blocked my number from his phone. I did not expect such ****py service (no pun intended) from a well renowned company such as ADT, which is charging me in excess of R10 000 for the job, not to mention the monthly fee that I have to pay for armed response, additional costs for equipment etc. and all the telephone calls that I have had to make regarding the above.

Fidelity ADT's social media officer, Natasha, contacted me shortly after I posted the above review. She facilitated a process whereby I was contacted by the district manager who offered me an apology and a suitable explanation for why the same technician had been sent back to my place. I appreciate the manner in which this issue was finally resolved.

Reviewer Update
Dear Ms Goliath, You're welcome. Although it is disconcerting that I only received a respectful response and follow up from ADT after I posted a review about my experience on hellopeter. And I've noticed that the consultant who got me to sign the contract with ADT still appears to have blocked my number on his phone after having advised me that if I experience any difficulties with ADT, I should call him anytime. Furthermore, after the new technician 'completed' the job yesterday, my alarm system is not working properly. I called the ADT offices to inform them about this and they claimed that the person with whom I was advised to speak was not available. It would be really great to get some decent customer service from ADT without having to post on hellopeter. Kind regards, Waheeda Amien
