  We signed up for ADT Home Security Services for our residential property in Thorold ON in 2022. ADT was bought out by Telus Home Securities and our accounts were transferred. We moved to a new home (selling our Thorold Property) on August 10th 2023. The Buyers of the home wished to take over the security services and transfer the account into their name. We called Telus Home Security and were told that they buyer ought to call in. So the buyers called Telus Home Security but were told they could not transfer because we did not authorize. So we (and the buyers) called in again to ensure that it was recorded that we authorize this account transfer and transfer the services. I later called in to confirm that this was all done was told the transfer was all set up. In March 2024, I noticed I was still being charged for the Security Services. Upon calling, I was informed that the account was never transferred, I was reassured that all would be made right but that I had to wait for a call later that week from management. Nobody called. I called back about a month later (spoke to 'Kaye' thats the only name she would give for accountability) and was told that I need to find the contact information for the people who purchased the home whom I obviously don't know personally, in order to address the situation. She transferred me to retention where I spoke to "Rodiegogo" who informed me that I am accountable to the account and Im quite sure he cursed me in Spanish before hanging up on me. No refunds were issued. My credit score will likely be affected by the fact that I stopped payment to this account that was never cancelled. To this day I have received no compensation (after hours on the phone) and am out over $600 ($77/ month since August 2023-March 2024 when I put a stop payment on the credit card to that vendor).

  ****** home security was going door to door, soliciting our neighbourhood with home security. We were currently shopping around for home security and allowed the two ****** sales agents into our home where they went over their two year contract with us. We were pleased and signed up. We were happy customers for the two year term, at which point we received a letter stating that our services are transferred to Telus ADT home security. (Our cell phone service is currently with Telus and we are waiting out our contract with intentions to cancel) so we didn’t want to do business with Telus ADT home security and because our two year contract with ****** home security was finished, I called to discontinue the home security, since it was no longer who we originally signed up with. Since October (when I called to cancel) I have been given the run around. Telus ADT home security claims I am under a 5 year contract and applied over $800.00 in cancellation fees, and when I have asked multiple times for a copy of the original contract they have sent me on a wild goose chase. They told me I needed to contact ****** home security to get a copy of the original contract, and when I called ****** home security, they told me I originally signed up with Telus ADT home security??? ****** said that Telus ADT home security uses ****** name but it’s actually Telus ADT. We feel absolutely violated and mistreated by Telus. To make matters worse Telus ADT sent the applied cancellation fee to collections and this will ultimately effect our good credit rating. I am desperately asking you to please help me find who’s responsible and where is my copy of this contract???

  Telus home security is trying to charge us over $ 300 for not returning their security system components. We have returned everything that was provided to us. Their technician drilled a hole through our exterior wall causing damage to our home.

  Hi,
  
  This is ****** ***, I am resident of ** ***** **** ******** **.
  
  I am writing this letter to report the unfair & unethical way that ***** has taken towards me, The story is as below:
  
  1. I was originally client of security system provider ADT & I completed all contract years with ADT & owes nothing to ADT.
  2. ADT subsequently was acquired by ***** & I became client of *****.
  3. The service fee that ADT charges was CAD25 plus tax, i.e. CAD28.25
  4. In Oct. 2023, due to service interruption (the door sensor which was originally provided by ADT) was not working & kept making noise all the times, I called ***** for technical support & after trying all ways that ***** suggested, the issue was not resolved & to avoid hearing noise, I requested ***** to move the door sensor from the system & the system become defective as any break in from front door would become unnoticeable.
  5. After struggling whole night, ***** finally told me that they no longer support the ADT old system & tried to convince me to purchase their new system which would cost me around 60 dollar per month & I rejected.
  6. Finally, with no solution provided by *****, I requested ***** to close my account.
  7. A few days ago, when I was reviewing my bank statement, I noticed that ***** has taken 355.95 from my credit on Oct. 19, 2023 & I was extremely shocked as my monthly fee was only $28.25 !
  8. Today I called ***** & asked clarification as to why the fee on Oct. 19 was so higher ? The answer was ADT sent technician to my home in Sept. & the extra money charged was the service fee for the technician.
  9. I completely disagree the statement the ***** has provided:
  a. I have a valid contract with ***** & there should not be any service fee for client who pays monthly fees to *****, just like a *** member do not pay eligible visits for *** visits, in past so many years, regardless of ADT or *****, there was never a fee for any technician’s visit.
  b. Even ***** requires a fees for the technician visit, I should be informed for the amount prior to the visit & the technician should not come without my prior consent for the fee. There was never a prior notice given by ***** for the fees, not to mention the exact amount.
  10. The ***** care team said that when I give my credit card for pre-authorized payment, I authorize ***** to deduct any amount they deem appropriate, which I totally disagree, I can only accept the payment of $28.25, consent is required for any fees above the monthly service fee.
  
  All the communication today can be traced under my account though my account is closed Oct. 2023.
  
  I need your help.
  
  Thanks.
  
  Sincerely
  ****** ***

  Good morning.
  
  This is *** ***, I am writing this email regarding complaint case ID ********. 
  
  First of all, thanks for your continuous follow up & your latest email I received yesterday.
  
  The Business did call me a few weeks ago & refunded $317 after the call & the Business asked me to close the case with BBB when the payment is received.
  
  Without BBB’s assistance, It is impossible for ***** to reach me out & refund the money they are not entitled to.
  
  However, to close this case, I need a explanation letter from *****:
  
  1. Why did they charge the unreasonable money without my knowledge & permission ?
  2. When I called they to report this issue, why did the customer service reply that ***** had right to take money they think appropriate just because they have my credit card info ?
  
  This very dark corner of ***** has to be unveiled so that they would learn that they can’t do this in future to any clients who trusted them, they need to treat their clients with integrity. 
  
  Thanks.

  Hello BBB, I contacted ADT on Jan 16/24 and again requested they cancel the contract and debt ($251.65). I was able to provide my father’s missing verification code, after searching for a year, which the agent (Mike) accepted and verbally provided a confirmation #********. He said the cancellation confirmation would be emailed to me but wasn’t received. He did not confirm that the debt would be cancelled but we’ve not been contacted lately by the credit agency. We’re really hoping this matter has been finally resolved but I’m not completely sure. I would be more confident if we had something in writing.

  Thanks, ***

  My parents, *** * ****** ****** owned a vacation home in Palm Springs. At ***** ********** **** ******** *****, California. Their permanent residence is **** ******* **** ********** **** Can. They used ADT home security services for approx. 7 years. I have POA for my parents as they are elderly and my father has dementia. They sold the home in January 2023 with the completion date of March 17/2023. Home was purchased by *** * **** *****.
  On January 15/23, I contacted ADT to provide the 1 month notice to terminate services. I was able to provide detailed information including pre authorized debit payments, security pad code, parents residence in ********** BC. I was not able to provide them with a ‘4 digit code number’ which they insisted was necessary to proceed with the request. If such a number ever existed, my father did not retain that information. I called ADT again on February 16/23 to terminate the service and again was told the contract would not be terminated without the 4 digit code. The security panel was turned off when we left the vacation home on February 4/23 and has not been used since. ADT has continued to bill my parent’s bank account at ***** ***** for March, April, May and June. In July I closed the account, as a bank in the US was no longer needed. Since then, my father has received hostile calls from ADT demanding payment for unpaid service. He is 84 and mentally fragile. I have since contacted ADT, Jan 11 & 12/24 and spoken to several reps. Ohiv, Samual, Shaun and Bobby R. (spv). I’ve received the same outcome each time. They WILL NOT terminate the service without the verification code and payment is required even though the security system has not been activated since Feb. 2023. They maintain that they don’t even have the ability to monitor the security panel to determine if it’s being used.
  Bobby R. requested that I contact the credit group by way of a fax number 1-************ to arrange for payment. He also suggested a site called VerifyMe @ ADT to prove I was a valid client, which turned out to be a site to validate ADT service technicians at your home. I considered making the additional payment to ADT to stop the harassment but I’m not at all sure that the problem would stop there. We would be soooo grateful if you could facilitate a solution to this nightmare. Worse company I’ve ever encountered! Sincerely, ***

  Telus installed an alarm system for my tenant at **** ****** *** *** ******* ** *** *** without my permission. The tenant triggered the false alarms and the city ** ******* requested me, the landlord, to pay the $3000 for the tenant's false of alarms. I called Telus on January 16, 2024 several times to request Telus to cancel the alarm service because I did not permit Telus to install it, but Telus refused to do it and told me that only my tenant can cancel this service.
  Please investigate

  ADT installed a custom security system in my home but did not install two items which I paid a total of $273.44. I have repeatedly called Telus ADT since the beginning of October. Each time the agent said they put in a request for the refund but because they don't have any invoice it got rejected. Therefore, my issue was escalated to Kirsten who is an escalation manager. The ticket number is *******. I sent her my copy of the invoices and she called me back on November 2nd and said that she was able to verify the amount and I would receive a credit within a few days. I have repeatedly called every week since then and just get the run around. Almost every agent said they will call back and they don't. This is ridiculous. If I hadn't already paid for the system I would cancel my contract today.

  I became a ****** home security customer February 2019. I had no issues with ******* service. About a year ago my system began having issues, communication, false alarms, etc. I called ****** to try and resolve this but was surprised to here the person on the other line say hello telus home security. * *** ****** **** ***** ** *** **** **** ******* ** * **** *** ******* ** ***** *** ***** ****** I tried to get out of it but they ********** to charge me ************ fees to do so. I decided to continue paying them for *** *** service. Then today I called then again trying to escape this contract that I never signed with telus. Again they are telling me I have to pay fees that I was never told I would have to do with ******. **** *** ******* *** *** ** ** ***** *** *** **** ** *** **** ****** *** ** ****** ** ** **** *** * ********* * ****** ****** * *********** **** *** *** ******* **** ** ******** * ******* Telus refuses to compromise. According to them I am held to my contract. I tried explaining to them I have no contract with telus and my contract with ****** is non existent to them or me, but they will not budge. I am stuck paying ********* ** cancelation fees or continue paying $87 a month for a service I do not use. Because of the multiple false alarms their system reported sending security to my home hours after the false alarm, and then making me pay for a false alarm fee, I decided about a year ago now to tell them not to monitor my home and not to ever send security. ** * ** ********* ****** * ******* *** *** ********
