I've been a customer with xm radio for my vehicle service since 2002 and recently added a xm home device in December of 2007. And when signing up for the home service they mentioned every good thing about having xm in my home but never told me or have me sign any agreement that dictated if i canceled the home service there would be a $65.00 charge which in itself is ridiculous because I bought all home devices with my own money and xm did not provide me with any free equipments.

When I try to explain to them about my grievance and requested for a manager in the cancellation department (located in India of course) I was shuffled around and put on hold one too many times and finally when someone came on the phone who claimed to be the manager, as I was speaking and complaining to her, the phone simply when silent and after approx 5 minutes of silence I hang up. All this happened on april 12, 2008 approx 1800 pacific standard time.

I hope someone can let me know which government department regulates xm radio if there is one such as the FCC for radio stations. I need to file a complain with the government for I'm sure there are many other customers out there who share the same grievance as me and with xm almost being a monopoly there needs to be some sort of supervisory role from the feds.

I am an employee of xm and I gotta say you may not have signed an agreement but when you purchased the radio for your home that was a promo for our existing subscribers which has specific terms and conditions which you are read prior to the purchase and are also sent an email confirming the purchase which you agree to when you purchase the radio which requires you to maintain a 12 month service commitment. In this day in age it is imperative that you read the fine print on purchases. Also not all of our call centers are located outside the states I work for the WV location and we also have centers in VA, TX, IL, AZ, and KY. Our cancelation departments span over all of these locations and we absolutley have no call centers from India whatsoever. Our foreign call centers consist of Kingston, Montego Bay, and Manilla all Caribean locations. So try finding another way to be a bigot. When you sign up for service you are also sent a copy of the terms and conditions via mail which you obviously didn't bother to read. Here is the portion regarding cancelation straight off our website.

8. CANCELLATION

a) Term.
This Customer Agreement will remain in effect until modified or terminated by XM and Services will be provided to you for the period agreed to by you and will continue to renew for additional terms of same length on the same billing terms until canceled, terminated or discontinued by you or us.

b) Your Cancellation.
You may cancel Services by notifying us at the address (regular or email) or telephone number as indicated on the first page of this Customer Agreement. You will be assigned a monthly billing cycle regardless of the billing plan you selected. Any cancellation notice will become effective at the end of your assigned monthly billing cycle in which you cancel. You are responsible for payment of all outstanding balances accrued through that date. We will refund amounts for any full months of Service fees you may have prepaid on a quarterly, annual or multi-year basis representing those months beyond the billing cycle month during which you cancelled your service. If your subscription was included in the financing of your purchase or lease of a vehicle, any refund will be payable to your finance company unless the finance company has notified us that your loan has been paid in full. Fees attributable to certain promotional offerings or Services received during trial periods may not be refunded. Service credits will not be refunded in cash, but will be honored in the form of Services for the remaining length of the credit. IF YOU ARE CANCELLING A SUBSCRIPTION COMMITMENT THAT REQUIRES THE PAYMENT OF AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE IF CANCELLED PRIOR TO THE END OF SUCH COMMITMENT OR IS SUBJECT TO ANY NON-REFUNDABLE PREPAYMENTS, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OF SUCH FEES.
