I have been a DirecTV customer for more than 30 years and one of their so‑called VIP members. I contacted DirecTV on October 16, 2026, to cancel my service after it stopped working on the evening of October 15. The screen is completely black, and the satellite is no longer sending a signal to the receiver. With lower‑cost streaming options available, I no longer wish to continue the service.
The representative informed me that I must continue paying through November 13, 2026. I do not agree to pay for an additional month of service, especially when the service is not functioning. I also do not want to spend time troubleshooting or attempting repairs, as my intent is to cancel the service entirely.
DirecTV should stop billing me beyond the date the service stopped working and process my cancellation effective immediately, with no additional weeks of service charged to my account.
Desired outcome: Cancel my account effective immediately, with no additional charges applied beyond the date I requested cancellation.
