I've had a go on twitter and sent them this thread, was told they were sorry to hear that and that I should contact their customer services. I might do that at some point but think public shaming might be more effective, of course they'd rather I sent private emails of complaint. However, I've not had the worst of the experience from them, those who've had the full scaremongering visit might want to think about complaining. They may not know what their staff are up to, but I don't think cold calling should be a part of their practice even if they're nice about it.


But I think this is part of a wider problem though, and would fully support any efforts to get this (and THE WORLD) made a No Cold Calling Zone.

answered door to friend and adt right front ym face wouldnt let friend past asked if im going out said no let my friend passed and shut door were walking our street 2 days in row some in suits some high visiblity jackets all with clipboard and adt on jackets.


general rule police say never buy at door could be fasle could be at harm or scam,if want adt go to thier website and book a visit.

That way get named person you would expect to home.

The idea of id is you get number off it ring it to check if ligit .

I tell cold callers I do all my research of companies, comparing them and choosing deals on the internet and if they are not there then they should be. Why on earth would I want to buy something without having initiated research or indeed actually formulated the idea in my head that I want this service. If I wanted this service I would have looked for it. Today I got a cold phone call about 'compensation'. Besides being on the telephone preference service I told her I didn't believe in the compensation society. You know it didn't shut her up.

Statistically you are more likely to get targeted if you don't have an alarm. Burglars don't want to get caught so if they think an alarm might go off they will usually think twice about breaking in. Having an alarm is a visual deterrent. Also if they are still stupid enough to break into a house and an alarm goes off they will not usually want to stick around in case it's monitored.


Also people should think twice before getting an installation with ADT. They do a cheap installation but then it's a 3 year fixed contract with monthly payments and as far as I'm aware you don't actually own the equipment...

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
