Direct TV decided after being told to terminate service instead to place it into their "suspended" category.
They have since then charged me for 3 months of service I never received.
I had to call my credit card company and not only object to the charge but terminate the current credit card number and get a new one issued.
After speaking with two Direct TV representatives I was told that's just the way it is. There was nothing they could do about it.
This is absolutely illegal, immoral and unethical.
I will be filing my case in small claims court this week.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I live on a hill it is very windy and I barely get service. I called to cancel they told me I am undercontract for 2 years. That I would have to pay a $269 cancellation fee. I have emailed them requesting them to not charge the cancellation fee. They said it doesn't matter if I get service, people have service in hurricanes. If I choose to cancel I will have to pay the cancellation fee. What can I do? HELP> I would def love to file a class action law suit. What happened to the consumers right to choose?
I am currently pursuing action against Direct Tv regarding the "early cancellation fee" being charged without our consent. I would like to get names of individuals with a similar complaint who would be interested in a Class Action Lawsuit. Please email me at flandrin78@yahoo.com if you are interested.
Thank you
As the gentleman in the first complaint mentioned about the "upgrade" Direct TV"s so called "nice gesture" is bull crap! My wife and I are dealing with the same thing. We were not happy with the service through them and we were moving into a new home and just wanted to cancel the service. That is when they told her the same freakin thing about accepting the upgrade locked you into a 2 yr contract. She was not told that she would be in another 2yr contract, did not sign something stating (hell even in fine print) that it would be a 2yr contract. That is totally fraudulent.
Now they are telling us the same dang thing that we will be charged a cancellation fee. I now have a vendetta against them to make them eat the cancellation fee due to shear negligence on their part of not producing a signed contract or a recording to us that had the CSR explain that by doing this locks us into a 2yr contract. Anyone up for a class action law-suit against Direct TV for this matter? If so, please contact me at loanwizard@rjdameron.com
CANCEL your card FIRST! I cancelled my service with them and was told by TWO of their representatives that my cancellation fee would be $37.50. I then got a charge on my "final bill" for $212.50. I called to dispute it last week and was told I had to send a letter (via snail mail) to their Billing Dispute department. Today, the charge of $212.50 was deducted from my checking account WITHOUT my authorization. I was on the phone this morning for 45 min with a "Resolution Specialist" who did NOTHING to resolve my problem. He insisted that the charge was valid and he would not refund it. I asked to speak to his supervisor, who conveniently was on another call, but he would leave a message and they would return my call in 24-48 hours. He also told me that the billing dispute department will take 14-21 days to get in touch with me. I was relatively happy with Direct TV, but from this day forward, I will let everyone I come in contact with to STAY AWAY FROM DIRECT TV!
We're experiencing the same problems. Bogus invoices, rude customer represenatives, unavailable supervisors...outright despicable. If my problem with them isn't resolved, I am very interested in setting up the ground work for a class action lawsuit.
Stay away!
