My account was canceled in October of 2007 when I moved from Kentucky to Indiana. I specifically requested a they close my account (not suspend) since I was moving out of the state. I was not under any contract and my balance was paid in full. Recently (August 2008) I noticed an unauthorized charge drafted against my bank account on 8-1-08. I then checked my (closed) DirecTV account online to discover that billing resumed six months after I moved away for service to a residence that I no longer even lived at. I did not receive any service and the $137.93 charge drafted from my bank account was illegal an unauthorized. They even had the boldness to charge a $15 disconnect fee. I informed them that unless I receive a credit back to my account or a refund check immediately - I am going to contact the local media fraud hotlines to publicly settle this matter. I really do find it hard to believe that this is the way they do business and you can be assured I will NEVER be a DirecTV customer again as well as tell everyone I come in contact with they are a corrupt company.

I got DirecTV and it was a nightmare. I had to call every month to get my bill. I never got my bill and my service was cut off one time and they would send a past due notice with the bill after I had to call and ask for it. I ended my service and paid in full but after sending in my receiver I started getting bills that continued to increase every statement until it reached $392.00. I was told this was for movies I had watched the year before. If you read the manual it say's you must have a land line phone hooked to the TV to get PPV movies. I never did but was told these were stored in the receiver after it was returned and that was how the company knew they were watched. This is crazy, if I had never ended my service could I have watched free movies forever? Where is this receiver and how can a consumer prove they lied? I have heard this same problem from other people who just paid the bill because they felt they could not prove that the company was a ripping them off. They even charged my credit card for this $392.00 which I had removed and they have threatened to turn me over to several collection agencies. This company needs to be shut down. STAY AWAY FROM DIRECTV>
