How to File a Complaint Against ADT Customer Support

ADT has four levels of service to ensure customer complaints are resolved. First, you'll contact one of their customer service advisors to inform them about your complaint. If their advisors fail to solve the complaint to your satisfaction, you can raise your issue with the customer service team manager. If you're still unhappy, you'll contact their customer solutions team. Finally, if the complaint is still not resolved within 20 working days, the issue will be escalated to the Director's office.

If you're still unsatisfied, you can file a complaint against ADT customer support to:

The Better Business Bureau (BBB)

BBB can help resolve your complaint with ADT. Just file a complaint through their website or submit a written complaint letter to your BBB (find yours in this directory). When submitting your letter, be sure to include your name and contact information.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

The FTC works with consumers to prevent unfair or deceptive business practices. Therefore, you can file your complaint online through their Complaint Assistant or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).

State Attorney General or State Consumer Agency

Alternatively, you can file ADT complaints with your local government or consumer organization. USA.GOV lists out consumer protection offices across all 50 states. Check the site to find yours. Before submitting your written complaint, call first to determine if the office handles your type of complaint and whether complaint forms are provided.

Take ADT To Small Claims Court if Your Issue Is Not Resolved

If your issue is not yet resolved despite going through all the above channels, your next best option may be to take ADT to small claims court. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to take ADT to small claims court.

Determine if your claim qualifies for small claim courts: Your claim will be eligible for small claims court if the compensation you're seeking is between $5,000 and $10,000, though it can go as low as $2,500 or as high as $20,000 in some states. The type of compensation you want may also play a part. Most claim courts will only provide monetary compensation.
Send a demand letter: You'll need to give ATD a chance to fix the issue voluntarily before you can send demand letters to them. A demand letter can help you do this. It doesn't have to be complex, but it should be worded correctly to be effective. You can then mail the letter to your local office. DoNotPay can help you write a demand letter.
Fill out your court forms: Your state court website provides these forms. You'll need to fill out three or four copies, depending on where you're from. Be careful as any slight mistake might mean denial.
File at court: Double check with your state court site to ensure everything is correct. Also, confirm the rules about the courthouses that you'll go to and how to submit them. Often, you'll need to submit in person.
Serve the forms to ADT: Inform ADT that you've filed paperwork to send demand letters to them. Ensure you're familiar with your local rules so you don't end up being thrown out with no compensation.
Go to the courthouse again: The county clerk will issue a court date for your official hearing. Ensure you show up with all the relevant evidence.

You can go to the claims court with:

A copy of the letter of demand
Any agreement between you and ADT
Any document that proves the letter of demand was handed to ADT
ADT's contact details
