Yep, that's where the big companies get you. Did you already go to binding arbitration?

That's the million dollar question. The original contract says I can out right sue them.

The second contract which is a contract of adhesion says arbitration.

I actually got documentation where they screwed up and didn't do a proper termination. They sent it to me by accident.

Any attorneys in Denver? I believe I can easily get $250,000 without putting up much of a fight.

My other point is Dish is a billion dollar company they waive hundreds of contacts per day for some of the dumbest reasons.

That is different though. Just because Dish waives ETFs and bends/breaks the rules doesn't mean squat about the ability to enforce the contracts.

Sometimes it's in their interest to just wash their hands of a situation or otherwise to make a customer happy. That doesn't mean the contracts weren't valid in the first place.

So, you want me to put up $100,000 on the chance I might get back $125,000? I get the message. Why didn't you just unfriend me?

100% correct. I didn't dig back to look, but it is likely/possible the terminology used was "May be." There may be an ETF, may be this or that. But even without that there is a theory of law that addresses a company following a contract in one case and not the other. Obviously discrimination aside, if the exception made benefits the consumer there is no stipulation the company must now do that exception for everyone. When a landlord gives you five extra days to come up with the rent it does not now make him have to accept all other payments five days late.

Go for it. I would love to see you finally get a Dish pay day after all they have done to you over the years.

At first I thought a customer had an out if they had someone else sign it in a case where they weren't home. But, Dish isn't stupid, like some would like people to believe ! Their lawyers covered this one !! So even when your kid (over 18), a babysitter, or even a neighbor who helped you out by being there during an installation, their signature is effectively your signature.

Not really. If someone was never authorized to sign on my behalf, their signature on a document saying they are authorized doesn't make it so, but does add a heaping helping of FUD.

By continuing the service for a period of time (72 hours?) you are accepting the terms. Definitely by first bill. There is even language in the service agreement that by continuing service you accept the terms. It's covered in multiple areas.

So there are no attorneys that would take this "slam dunk" case on a contingency?
