  Last year around the end of October, a representative from Safe Haven Security came out to sell us on a ADT service. We were told that the service was transferable if we moved from the home within the timeframe of the contract. 11 Months later, I needed to relocate due to taking a promotion at work. ADT/Safe Haven was contacted, and we were then told that we needed to pay 75% of the remaining contract and that it was non-transferable regardless of what their sales representative told us. ADT/Safe Haven is now trying to force me into a new 3 year contract in order to not pay the early termination fee. They also have switched the due date multiple times for this "early termination fee" based upon them being upset that I am disputing the charge. We have also had issues with faulty equipment being installed, when we found out one of the sensors was not working, we called ADT/Safe Haven to come out and fix the issue. Instead we were told to fix it ourselves and was hung up on multiple times.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC's (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the customer's duplicate complaint as submitted through complaint# ********. Safe Haven sympathizes with the personal circumstances they are having to endure and understand the customer has concerns regarding relocating services, however, it seems that there may be some confusion regarding the appropriate company to address the customer’s complaint. Service relocations are all done through ADT Corporate and any concerns related to ADT’s relocation requirements would need to be redirected to them. 

  After reviewing the account records, the customer entered into an Alarm Services Contract with Safe Haven on November 4, 2024. When the customer signed the Contract, he signed that he read and agreed to the terms and conditions, specifically, the terms related to early termination. (See page 5, section 2) Additionally, the customer contacted Safe Haven on July 18, 2025, to express their frustrations regarding the service experience they received by ADT Corporate and when Safe Haven offered to provide technical support the customer advised they no longer needed assistance because their equipment was functioning properly. Safe Haven has not been to the customer’s residence since the installation, nor has the customer issued any request to Safe Haven to services their system.
  
  As a result, when Safe Haven was notified on October 9, 2025, of the customer’s request to terminate the services due to a relocation, Safe Haven advised the customer to consult with ADT regarding relocation options and provided an early termination fee quote. Safe Haven does not have a relocation process and based on the terms and conditions signed, when a customer elects to terminate the services prior to full term, they are subject to early termination fees. (See page 5, section 2)
  
  Based on the complaint details, we would kindly request the complaint be redirected towards ADT corporate. Safe Haven does not have any authority over ADT’s relocation process or any authority over ADT’s relocation requirements to qualify for early termination fees to be waived. Safe Haven cannot make any billing adjustments. If the customer wishes to move forward with terminating the services, he will be subject to the terms and conditions signed.
  
  We thank you for your time and your consideration.
  
  
  Sincerely,
  Safe Haven Security Services, LLC.

  I was approached at my home by a sales representative from Safe Haven Security, an authorized ADT dealer. (On November 7th) The rep used high-pressure tactics and convinced me to sign up for a system I said I needed time to think about.
  I emailed to cancel before the installation date (November 10th), but they charged my bank account at 1 a.m., sent a technician to my home anyway, and repeatedly called both me and my partner (who they were never given permission to contact).
  I’ve contacted ADT corporate to cancel and request a refund, but I feel misled, pressured, and uncomfortable with how much personal information I shared. I want a full refund, confirmation of cancellation, and to ensure Safe Haven no longer contacts me or my partner.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC’s (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the complaint made by Ina Chambers. Safe Haven Security sets a high standard for ourselves and are truly sorry to hear that this standard was not met in the consumer’s experience with us. Safe Haven would like to extend our apologies for all frustrations the customer has endured through this matter and would like to thank them for their continued patience overall.
  
  After reviewing the account records, it would seem that this matter has already been resolved. Safe Haven has cancelled the account, confirmed the cancellation with the customer through ADT’s presidential complaints, and voided out any previous charges that were debited on November 10, 2025.
  
  At this time there are no further actions for Safe Haven to take. We thank the customer for their time, and we are happy we could resolve this matter in a timely manner.
  
  Sincerely,
  Safe Haven Security Services, LLC.

  I purchased a system from safe Haven securities LLC specifically Levi Ifft relocation manager standing in my kitchen. He told me I would be able to move my system to my new home as he was aware thatI was in the process of buying a new home within the year, I have spent three hours on the phone between ADT and safe Haven securities LLC who both are telling me it's not possible to transfer my equipment or service to my new address. I called Levi Ifft directly and he again eight months later and not five minutes ago told me safe Haven does not sell their contracts to ADT until there's beena minimum of one year since purchase. He directed me to call Safehaven back. Tell them this information and demand that they move my equipment to new address. They again told me this is not possible. They must abide by ADT protocol and all they can do is transfer me to ADT again.Levi is a liar. That will tell anybody whatever it takes to get their money and to purchase a security system from him which is a direct reflection Safehaven securities LLC as his employer I not only feel taken advantage of. I feel like I was scammed. I still owe $600 on the equipment for my system that I will no have access to in a home I no longer live in.

  My name is ***** **********, and I signed up for ADT service through Safe Haven Security in June 2025.
  Two months ago, I called to cancel because my husband lost his job, and now I have also lost mine.
  Safe Haven told me that if I cancel, I must pay over $1300 in early termination fees, even though I have only had the service for a few months and I clearly explained that I am unemployed and cannot afford it.
  
  I already emailed ADT Corporate (**************************) explaining this situation, but I am still waiting for a response.
  Safe Haven refuses to help, continues to demand payment, and I feel trapped in a 36-month contract that I cannot pay.
  
  I’m respectfully requesting that ADT Corporate review my case under financial hardship, allow me to cancel or adjust the contract without penalty, and ensure that Safe Haven stops trying to charge unfair fees.
  
  Thank you for your help and for forwarding this complaint to ADT’s corporate office.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,

  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC's (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the customer's complaint. Safe Haven sympathizes with the personal circumstances they are having to endure and understand the customer has some concerns regarding ADT’s review of their financial hardship request, but it seems that there may be some confusion regarding the appropriate company to address the customer’s complaint.

  Based on the information provided, we would kindly request the complaint be redirected towards ADT corporate. The customer signed an installation work order that disclosed the term length was for 36-months and executed an Alarm Services Contract with Safe Haven on June 2, 2025, that disclosed terminating services prior to full term would result in early termination fees (see page 5, section 2). Safe Haven does not have any authority of ADT’s financial hardship program, nor does ADT’s financial hardship program deem a customer eligible to terminate services without the associated early termination fees. We kindly request the customer redirect their concerns related to ADT’s financial hardship program to ADT, so they can address those concerns raised.

  We thank you for your time and your consideration.

  Sincerely,
  Safe Haven Security Services, LLC.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC’s (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the rejection. Safe Haven sympathizes with the customer’s unfortunate circumstances, but we are upholding the contract terms signed.
  
  Safe Haven has addressed the referenced “hardship program” listed in the complaint, but that is not something Safe Haven has authority over or provides. We have previously advised the customer to contact the appropriate company that offers such programs. Should ADT permit the customer any financial hardship credits on the account, none of those credits would equate to the remaining balance owed or deem the customer eligible to have the early termination fees waived.
  
  Given the above, Safe Haven is unable to waive the early termination fees outlined in the Contract. If the customer would like to move forward with terminating the services, she will be responsible for the remaining balance owed. Safe Haven can be reached at ************. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM Central Standard Time.
  
  Thank you for your time and consideration.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Safe Haven Security Services, LLC.

  I am rejecting this response because: I respectfully reject the company’s response again.
  Safe Haven Security Services, LLC continues to deny any responsibility or assistance, even though they were the dealer who sold and managed my contract.
  I have already provided proof that I lost my job and no longer have medical insurance.
  I am facing real financial hardship, and Safe Haven refuses to provide any help or options.
  I am requesting that BBB escalate my complaint to ADT Corporate for a hardship review or assistance in waiving or reducing the early termination fee.
  Thank you for your continued attention and for helping me seek a fair resolution.

  This company is horrible. They do not tell you anything about three day recession. I never got a contract already paid them 700 dollars now owe 75% of the contact because I am one day late.
  The employees are rude and say the same thing over and over. The first employee refused to let me talk to a manager. Bad business practices for a product that doesn’t work

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC’s (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the customer’s complaint. Safe Haven Security sets a high standard for ourselves and are truly sorry to hear that this standard was not met in the consumer’s experience with us. Safe Haven would like to extend our apologies for all frustrations the customer has endured throughout this matter and would like to thank them for their continued patience overall.
  
  After reviewing the account records, Safe Haven respectfully, disagrees with the customer's characterization of events. We acknowledge the
  customer’s position, however, the customer executed the Alarm Services Contract
  (the “Contract”) during the installation that reflected the terms and conditions that she signed that she read Sections 1 and 2 of the Contract that state the term was for 36 months and that terminating prior to that term would result in an early termination fee.

  Further, Safe Haven understands the importance of full
  transparency of the Contract and a customary rescission period is provided and
  detailed on its own page listed under the Notice of Cancellation page to ensure
  the customer was given ample opportunity to review the terms and conditions
  during and after the installation. The Notice of Cancellation page provides
  explicit details of the 3-day rescission period and the steps to enforce this
  right. Safe Haven does not intrude on this right or prevent the customer from
  enforcing it, as it simply required the customer to sign and date the Notice of
  Cancellation page opting to exercise a cancellation without any fees within the
  designated time period. This documentation provides compelling evidence
  undercutting the entire complaint.

  Consequently, if the customer failed to read those terms, it did not negate the
  terms provided or that the customer had the terms within their possession
  immediately when they were signed. The customer was informed of the rescission
  period and had every right to exercise her Notice of Cancellation within the
  designated time period should there have been any discrepancies with what she
  had signed but failed to do so.
  
  

  Given the above, Safe Haven is unable to alter the terms and conditions signed. In efforts to provide excellent customer service, Safe Haven has escalated this complaint within our builder division to help address any issues the customer may be experiencing with their service. A member of our builder escalations team will be reaching out to the customer within the next 48 hours to address the customer’s concerns and actively work towards resolution efforts. Should the customer wish to forgo service resolution assistance and would like to terminate services altogether, she would be subject to the early termination fees. (See page 5, Section 2)
  
  We thank you for your time and your consideration.
  
  Sincerely,
  Safe Haven Security Services, LLC.

  Complaint Summary:
  Defective security system, refusal to accept return, unreasonable early termination fees, and misleading practices targeting veterans.
  
  Complaint Details:
  In April 2025, SafeHaven Security installed a home security system in my residence. Within one month, multiple components failed:
  
  Front driveway, back patio, and side gate cameras stopped responding.
  
  Hallway smoke detector malfunctioned and beeped intermittently, creating a safety hazard.
  
  I contacted SafeHaven multiple times and was referred to an employee named **** ******. Instead of offering a fair resolution, he insisted the contract was binding and only offered repairs. I declined repairs because the equipment was defective from the start.
  
  SafeHaven then issued a $1,682.75 early termination fee quote and refused to retrieve the defective equipment, requiring me to uninstall it myself. I offered to return the equipment, but they refused.
  
  I financed the system through ********* Bank and opened a dispute. Despite providing photos, emails, and documentation, ********* denied my claim. I have since re-opened the dispute and informed them that I filed a complaint with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office regarding SafeHaven’s business practices.
  
  SafeHaven’s actions are unfair, misleading, and harmful to consumers, especially veterans like myself, since this was marketed as a “military-friendly” package.
  
  Desired Resolution:
  
  Waive all early termination fees.
  
  Cancel any financial obligations related to the defective system.
  
  Accept return of defective equipment.
  
  Ensure SafeHaven is held accountable for misleading and unfair practices.
  
  Attachments Available:
  
  Photos/screenshots of equipment failures.
  
  Emails and communications with SafeHaven.
  
  Early termination fee quote.
  
  ********* dispute communications.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 09/09/2025

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC’s (“Safe Haven”) formal
  response to the complaint submitted by the customer. Safe Haven strives for an
  excellent customer service experience and deeply regrets any frustrations the
  customer has endured based on the details of the complaint. Safe Haven takes
  the customer’s allegations seriously, and as a result, we have conducted a
  thorough investigation. We would like to take this opportunity to address the
  concerns listed within the complaint and provide additional clarity.
  
  After reviewing the account records, Safe Haven respectfully disagrees with the
  customer’s characterization of events. Safe
  Haven makes a conscious effort to remain transparent and ensure that our
  customers fully understand the terms and conditions of any agreement they enter
  into with Safe Haven, specifically the term length and the service warranty. When
  the customer signed the Alarm Services Contract (“the Contract”), he signed
  that he understood that terminating prior to the full term would result in
  early termination fees.

  Additionally, Safe Haven was not notified of the customer’s
  concerns until May 16, 2025, at which point the customer had simultaneously
  requested to terminate the services altogether. Please note, Safe Haven has not
  been to the customer’s residence since the installation, nor has Safe Haven been
  permitted to return to the customer’s residence to provide resolution assistance. When
  Safe Haven attempted to offer technical support, the customer demanded the
  equipment be collected, and for services to be terminated. Safe Haven informed the
  customer he owned the equipment and that it was his to dispose of, but that in
  order to terminate the services, he would be subject to the standard fees
  associated when terminating prior to full term. (See page 5, section 2)

  Given the above, Safe Haven is unable to
  release the customer from the early termination fees. We recognize that the
  customer may disagree with our decision, however, the continued hate speech
  against Safe Haven is unwarranted as we have done everything necessary within
  our capabilities to assist this customer and all efforts have been declined.
  Any additional complaints we receive involving the customer’s concerns, Safe
  Haven will reiterate the same sentiments.
  
  At
  this time, the account has terminated and there is a remaining balance due. We
  kindly invite the customer to contact our customer support team to fulfill the
  remaining balance owed to prevent any further collections efforts. Safe Haven
  customer support can be reached at ###-###-####, Monday through Friday 8 A.M.
  to 7 P.M. Central Standard Time.
  
  We
  thank you for your time and your consideration.
  
  Sincerely,
  Safe
  Haven Security Services, LLC.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC’s (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the rejection submitted by the customer. We understand the customer’s dissatisfaction regarding the previous response, but our decision remains the same. Safe Haven understands our decision may be unfavorable to the customer, but we are upholding the terms signed. The customer refused to allow Safe Haven to provide resolution assistance or assess the equipment at any point prior to the account termination.  Instead, the customer deemed the equipment “defective” own his own merit and demanded to be released from the Contract without paying early termination fees.
  
  Given the above, Safe Haven is unable to release the customer from the early termination fees. A customer may cancel at anytime for any reason, however, should they cancel outside the rescission period due to their own preferences of the equipment functionality, and fail to allow Safe Haven to assess the equipment or deem the system inoperable, they will be subject to the fees associated with early termination.
  
  At this time, the account has terminated and there is a remaining balance due. We kindly invite the customer to contact our customer support team to fulfill the remaining balance owed to prevent any further collections efforts. Safe Haven customer support can be reached at 844-413-1920, Monday through Friday 8 A.M. to 7 P.M. Central Standard Time.
  
  Thank you for your time and your consideration.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/12/2025

  Safe Haven’s latest response continues to misrepresent both the facts and my position. I will address each of their statements directly.
  
  Safe Haven said I refused to allow them to provide service or assess equipment.
  This is misleading. I denied further service because the equipment was practically brand new and already failing within weeks of installation. A reliable home security system should not experience multiple failures so soon. The fact that Safe Haven’s only solution was to send technicians back rather than accept responsibility for defective hardware is unreasonable.

  Safe Haven said I deemed the equipment “defective” on my own.
  The record shows otherwise. My cameras (driveway, back patio, side gate) all stopped working within weeks. My hallway smoke detector malfunctioned, beeping constantly until I had to remove the batteries myself for safety. These are objective, serious failures, not subjective “preferences.”

   Safe Haven said I canceled outside the rescission period, so termination fees apply.

  This ignores the fact that the equipment was defective almost immediately. A contract does not shield a company from accountability when the product fails to function. I asked for cancellation precisely because Safe Haven did not deliver what was promised: a working, reliable home security system.
  Safe Haven said I own the equipment and must dispose of it myself.
  This is unreasonable. Safe Haven installed the system in my home and should be responsible for removing defective hardware upon cancellation. Telling a consumer to dismantle and dispose of malfunctioning equipment themselves, while still demanding thousands in fees, is bad faith.

   

  
  Safe Haven said they were transparent and that I fully understood the agreement.
  This is false. Safe Haven presented themselves as ADT representatives, with installers wearing ADT-branded clothing. I reasonably believed I was entering into an ADT agreement, which includes a 6-month money-back guarantee. Only later did I discover I had been funneled into a Safe Haven contract with none of those protections. That is misleading at best.
  Safe Haven said they have done “everything necessary” to assist me.
  In reality, I was given the runaround repeatedly. When I asked to cancel, I was told I would owe nearly $1,600 and must remove the equipment myself. That is not assistance. it is coercion.
  Safe Haven accused me of “hate speech.”
  
  This is baseless, defamatory, and an attempt to discredit my valid complaint. At no point have I used hate speech in any communication. I have spoken firmly about my experience, but always in a professional and fact-based manner.

  On August 9, 2025, I signed a contract with Safe Haven Security (ADT Authorized Dealer) at my home in Knoxville, TN.
  
  The salesperson gave me a handwritten note promising:
  $0.00 activation fee
  $0.00 installation fee
  A minimum $30/month savings on my homeowner’s insurance.
  
  Despite these promises, I was charged $975.60 by Safe Haven. I have the receipt showing this charge.
  
  When I contacted my insurance company, the discount was only about $17 for the entire year — nowhere close to the $30/month savings that was promised.
  
  I consider this to be misrepresentation and deceptive sales practice. I would not have entered into the agreement had I known the true costs and benefits.
  
  I am requesting:
  
  A full refund of the $975.60 billed to me and
  
  Written confirmation that either the contract is canceled with no penalty.
  
  I sent a copy of the handwritten note.

  How this company is still in business is a mystery. They have a horrible product, the system misses camera events, their doorbell camera can only record 30 seconds of video (everyone else's has no limitation) and they refuse to make it right. There only answer is to send a tech, who cannot do anything to fix the issue since the real problem is in their software and inferior equipment they sell you. I reached the point of wanting the equipment removed and a full refund. All they did was pass me from one drone to another telling me there is a late penalty fee since I signed up for 3 years. That's a lie! No paperwork I have mentions that.
  
  The largest SCAM organization on the planet. Stay away from them. I have contacted my home builder since Safe Haven is partially installed with the home. Told them to stop using them. No company needs to tied to a thief.
  
  I question how effective the Better Business Bureau really is, With all these complaints, what is the point of BBB?

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC’s (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the complaint submitted by the customer. Safe Haven sets a high standard for itself, and we are truly sorry to hear that this standard was not met in the customer’s experience with us. We take the allegations of being “the largest SCAM organization” seriously, and as a result, we have thoroughly investigated this matter and would like to take this opportunity to address the customer’s concerns. Respectfully, throughout our investigation, Safe Haven has not identified any evidence to substantiate the customer’s allegations. We want to clarify that any reference to other cases is not relevant in this matter. Our main focus is the customers’ account and ensuring their understanding of the terms and conditions they agreed to verbally and in writing.

  Safe Haven makes a conscious effort to maintain transparency and ensure that our customers fully understand the terms and conditions of any agreement they enter into with Safe Haven, specifically the term length and the rescission period utilized to enforce a cancellation without any fees. We acknowledge the customer’s position; however, the customer executed the Alarm Services Contract (the “Contract”) on May 10, 2025, and was sent a copy the moment it as signed. When the customer authorized his signature, he signed he read and understood sections 1 and 2 of the Contract that explicitly identify the term length was 36 months and that terminating prior to that term would result in an early termination fee. This documentation provides compelling evidence undercutting the customer’s assertions of not having any paperwork that divulged the term length or the early termination fees.

  Additionally, Safe Haven understands the importance of full transparency of the Contract and a customary rescission period is provided and detailed on its own page listed under the Notice of Cancellation page to ensure the customer was given ample opportunity to review the terms and conditions during and after the installation. The Notice of Cancellation page provides explicit details of the 3-day rescission period and the steps to enforce this right. Safe Haven did not intrude on this right or prevent the customer from enforcing it, as it simply required the customer to sign and date the Notice of Cancellation page opting to exercise a cancellation without any fees.
  Consequently, if the customer failed to read those terms, it did not negate the terms provided or that the customer had the terms within their possession immediately when they were signed. The customer was provided with all necessary information upfront to move forward. In this case, the customer had every right to exercise his Notice of Cancellation within the designated time period should there be any discrepancies with what he had signed but failed to do so.
  
  In efforts to provide excellent customer service, Safe Haven’s Builder team has actively been communicating with the customer to address their concerns and provide additional clarity. Within our efforts, Safe Haven has explained and confirmed the software installed on the cameras is different from the cameras advertised by other security providers and at no point has Safe Haven or any of its employee implied he would receive identical cameras advertised from other companies. Safe Haven has also advised the customer that we acknowledge his dissatisfaction with the camera settings and software, but it would not deem him eligible to be released from the terms and conditions signed.  
  
  Given the above, Safe Haven is unable to waive any fees associated with early termination. (See page 5, section 2). The Contract executed on May 10, 2025, is valid and enforceable. If the customer would like to move forward with terminating the services, he would be subject to the Contract terms.  As of August 25, 2025, Safe Haven has reiterated this detailed information above to the customer and there are no further actions for Safe Haven to take.
  We appreciate your time and thank you for your consideration.
  
  Sincerely,
  Safe Haven Security Services, LLC.

We are now wanting to cancel due to the security system does not meet out needs and the install is not yet finish. It is a horrible experience speaking to safe haven and telling us that there is only a 3 day remorse period! I expect a call and cancel services ###-###-####

  Good morning all,

  When we were told to get the service we were not told about any contract! We were told to sign here sign there and the person left after installing the equipment. Also we tried to get the co2 machine which we were told that a person will come in and install it on 8/23, but no one has contacted us. I fairly believe since the agreement of installing each equipment was not meet we are not required to stay for 3yrs! Also the services it provides does not meet our needs. We were told that the camera system moves left to right and it does not. Also we were told that the panel will have access to the camera but it does not. This was mis represented on there end which we seek to cancel service.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  Please accept this as Safe Haven Security Services, LLC’s (“Safe Haven”) formal response to the rejection. We understand the customer’s dissatisfaction with the previous response, but our decision remains the same.
  
  The primary account holder was provided with all necessary information upfront to make a well-informed decision to move forward well after any conversation had with the sales representative. Consequently, should there have been any discrepancies regarding the terms signed, the customer had every right not to move forward. In this case, the account holder chose to move forward and opted out of utilizing the 3-day rescission period outlined within the terms he signed.
  
  Additionally, during the installation, Safe Haven scheduled a return trip with the account holder to be completed at a later date to install the carbon monoxide sensor. When the customer called to request cancellation of the account holder’s account on August 22, 2025, he inadvertently admitted not reading the contract. While the customer may have not read the contract himself, the account holder signed she did read the Contract and agreed to those terms.
  
  Nevertheless, Safe Haven strives for customer satisfaction and if the customer or the account holder would like to move forward with termination of the services, Safe Haven is happy to assist them with the cancellation process and the associated fees with early termination. Should they wish to forgo cancelling and permit Safe Haven to help address any of their services, we kindly encourage them to contact our customer support team. Safe Haven can be reached at ###-###-####. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM Central Standard Time.
  
  Thank you for your time and consideration.
