ADT Lied to Secure Service Contract

An ADT sales rep got us to sign up for service by promising us a month-to-month plan that could be canceled at anytime for any reason. "Nothing to lose" he said. In a classic bait-and-switch we were placed on a 2 year plan with a $500 early termination fee. We discovered this by accident when contacting ADT for an unrelated issue. Over the past 6 months we have spoken to countless ADT customer service reps and managers, while they believe we are telling the truth, all tell us there is nothing that can be done. One rep went as far as to tell us ADT is in the business of making money and therefore would not alter our contract as it's just not company policy to do so. The sales tactics of the ADT sales rep who sold us our contract were both unethical and illegal yet ADT refuses accountability. We are frustrated and disappointed in ADT as we expected much better service from such a large firm. Google "ADT lied" and you will see we are not alone.

Hearing such a review is disheartening. It does happen that there are unethical sales reps in the industry. But come on. Use your brain. A rep comes out, who must get paid. A tech comes out, who must get paid. There is insurance on property, casualty and vehicle. There is gas and vehicle maintenance. And then there is the equipment. Whatever investment you made was a fraction of the investment ADT made in you. If ADT allowed every customer to quit two months in, then they would be out of business. While your security is their business, they must make profitable business decisions. Profit is not a dirty word. Why do you go to work everyday? This does not condone a lying sales rep. But every industry has those, and if every business was held accountable for every employees actions in every situation, then no companies would exist. Be realistic. Ask more questions before signing a contract.
