Thread: What The Hell Is Wrong With DirecTV

After reading scotts big problem with DirecTV it's just another good reason to stay away from DirecTV.

"It seems like these termination fee issues is turning into a big issue for DirecTV, yesterday it was announced that a lawsuit was filed in California against DirecTV by California customers who have been charged early cancellation fees which DirecTV deducted from their credit cards or bank accounts without permission."

So apparently it's a big problem.

Dishnetwork does the same thing, as I had it happen to me. Dishnetwork was incorrect and I had to go to corporate to get my money back.

I wish you would stay away from here.

They both do that the question is what does Comcast do

Comcast has no agreements for non buisness accounts.

Your right, Only difference is D* takes it to a whole new level with what they feel they can charge a person. Its Bull and needs to be stopped.
A person obviously can't pay for the D* service, so them D* GODs got to make it worse by putting customers in debt more because D* doesn't know when to stop spending their own money on NFL ST. Thats BS!.
Sorry but I know 3 people who had to pay an excess of $500 to get out of their contracts with D*. Stuff happends that people can't control. NO satellite company should be aloud to take money from services that were never provided.
So if I'm building a house, and the homeowner says " sorry I can't afford to go on since I just lost my job" What then ? OH thats too bad sorry, I'll just charge your credit card $200,000. Yea, I'd be in JAIL quick as SH%^.
Dish shouldn't be aloud to do it either, But it seems D* has a lot more NEWS and law suits over this , Then I can seem to find on Dish Network.

So they canceled the service the same month that they had it installed or upgraded to a new receiver (or replaced receiver)?

Replaced Equipment, as well as D* sending return boxes out and giving them 10 days to ruturn HD DVRs, But by Day 6 , 2 days after boxes arrived, they charged the $480 for a NON returned HD DVR, + a Full months service for another $80.
3 people went though this. Not also adding in the $20 per month extra for early termination that got them for! 30- 45 days before they were credited back the returned equipment charge.
I even got charged a modest $55 on the 6th day from cancel date for the same BS , 20 days of me bitching I got it back.
Its not all peaches and cream.
