Tired of hitting dead ends when trying to get a refund from Advantage? Feeling like there’s nowhere to turn?
You’re not alone. It seems like many people have tried all the Advantage customer service options, but still feel unheard.
There are different ways to file a complaint against Advantage, but none have the same power and leverage as taking legal action.
So, if you’re thinking of suing Advantage, where do you even start? You might expect there to be tons of class action lawsuits against them, but it’s often more complicated than that.
What many people don’t know is that hidden clauses buried deep within their contracts frequently allow companies like Advantage to push legal claims into the private realm of consumer arbitration, away from conventional courts.
But here’s the thing: your Advantage contract doesn’t have the power to take away your right to pursue legal action by suing them.
Here’s what you can do…

If you’re ready to sue Advantage in Small Claims Court, read on below:
You have to make sure your claim qualifies. Small claims court is for specific types of situations.
If your claim doesn’t fall within the limits of your state’s small claims court, you’ll have to arbitrate your claim instead.
In order to sue ADT you have to ask nicely. Give them the opportunity to fix the problem voluntarily. This is a simple step but it is a required step by every small claims court no matter where you live.
The letter doesn’t have to be anything complicated. It can be something as simple as a few sentences explaining who you are, giving your contact information and your account information with the company, and then telling them what went wrong and how you want them to fix it.
When you’re done writing, you need to mail a hard copy of the letter, preferably as certified mail or some other service that allows you to confirm delivery, to their legal address.
According to our most recent research, ADT is legally based in Delaware and receives mail at this address:
ADT LLC
C/O THE CORPORATION TRUST COMPANY
CORPORATION TRUST CENTER 1209 ORANGE ST
WILMINGTON, DE 19801
