DISH Network Pay-Per-View not ordered but charged on my account

I just switched to Dish. Have been billed for 3 PPV items not ordered, and customer service is not able to help. Have filed a dispute with credit card company for the first one for 44.99 and in progress, but the second two are now on my bill for March 2023.

Items not ordered: WWE 44.99/WWE 44.99/Can't Stand It/Hde8 5.99.

Waited on hold for 1 hour to speak to customer service and they were unable to address the issue. Very poor customer service.

Desired outcome: Credit card company working on first charge.

DISH Network Dish tv

After 5 days of being on hold for 2 plus hours and getting the same run around about starting a ticket or getting cut off after the wait only to try again, only wanting to activate a wally with a tailgater that was in rest from last November. Working on a generator in the middle of nowhere the only replay to that is run it 24/7 until it gets zapped. After 5 days going on 6, this is totally unacceptable. Dish is in a complete failure as far as customer service and help is in the tank. If this is the new customer service and dish service your listing more than respect. It's chutzpah your driving away, and I've been a dedicated subscriber since the 1090's.

Totally disgusted

Desired outcome: HOOK ME UP! SOONER RATHER THAN WHEN YOU GET AROUND TO IT!

Same problem. Today on hold after, being transferred, wait time again, then close to 2 hours on hold, I was disconnected. I couldn’t get on line to pay bill, everyday, I tried to get on line to pay. Got disconnected. I got email from dish, stating to get my dish back up, pay the bill. I have everyday trying to pay. Didn’t have my account number. As my dish always had my info. Account number was on my email from dish. I paid twice by accident. I’m trying to get ahold of them. To apply one of them credit back to my credit card. I over paid. I thought the first one didn’t go through. So I did it again. Realizing what I did. I need the money put back into my credit card asap. Going to causes auto bills to bounce! Such a mess. Been customer with dish for 17 years. I’m a mess over all this dish has caused me. I need to talk to someone today. Asap

DISH Network Cancellation of DISH service

I had my DISH installed on 2/19/2023 and that evening we could not watch TV without interference. My wife watch TV in one room and I in another. When either of us changed channels the other set did the same. We could not use the remote to do what we wanted. On 2/22/2023 we tried to contact DISH to cancel but could not reach anyone via phone, email or internet. We tried everyday and got the same answer; no customer service is available, we've been breached. My credit card was charged because I was on auto pay and I want those charges removed, my TV dish moved, and service canceled. Please help me.

You’d have a $480 cancellation charge, and there is no grace period. If you still think there is a grace period and are sure of it, find it in the contract. It must be explicit. There is no lemon law or right to rescind law that applies either.

DISH Network I am not able to even pay my bill.

I have been a dish customer for several years and now, I have no service because I cannot access my account to pay my bill. I have been trying to reach a customer service agent for the past 5 hours to correct the issue. I keep getting the same lame excuse about higher call volume than usual! I should be able to get in touch with a real human and as much as I pay for the service, it makes me want to just cut all ties with them. It is a crying shame that no one can answer the phone to help a customer! I have never had such poor customer service!

Desired outcome: To actually talk to a customer service agent instead of getting the same recorded excuse!

DISH Network Abhorrent customer service

I have been unable to pay my bill through normal processes due to a system outage. I can understand that. I am unable to log in to the online portal for assistance as I need my account number which I can only get from my paper bill, I have paperless billing. I called customer service today (3/10/23) and waited on hold for 2 hours and 9 minutes. When I finally reached someone, they couldn't use my credit card to pay the bill. I had to find an alternative way to pay my bill because the rep was unable to process an American Express card properly. Once I provided alternative payments, the service was restored... Kind of. My PPV channels / events (premium sporting packages) were not restored. I called in again and was only on hold for about 20 minutes. The person that I spoke to this time apologized, acknowledged the problem and then stated they couldn't help me but would transfer me to a team that could, their hold time was on 10 minutes.

Next thing I know I am on hold for another 1 hour and 19 minutes. When Abigail (operator ID 3LX) answers my call, she confirms my identity (thank you), then tells me she can't help me. Is rude, speaks over me trying to ask her questions, tells me that she is too busy and doesn't have access to help. I specifically ask what she can do and she states she can accept payments and set up PPV events, but she cant restore mine and needs to help other customers. I pointed out that she actually had not helped me at all and I in fact had waiting on hold for nearly 4 hours today, surely I have earned my chance to speak to someone in the organization, so I asked for an escalation to her manager, she said "Sorry, I am the last line, I can't help you, call back when our systems are fixed". I asked if she was going to credit me for not having a service I have already paid for, she told me again, that it was MY RESPONSIBILITY to call back when YOUR problem is fixed. Abigail confirmed I paid for a service I am not getting, I sat on hold for 4 hours, I got no help, no resolution, no compensation on my bill, and told me to log in online which I already explained to her I could not do and she acknowledged I wouldnt be able to do until their system is fixed. I then asked if she could give me my account number, since I couldn't retrieve it online, and she simply said "no, how else can I help you?"

I followed up by asking her what in fact she could do, she said "I can accept payments". Why even offer to help me with anything else if you literally are of ZERO help? This is one of the single worst customer experience situations I have ever experienced. Putting the honus and burden on the customer, confirming your system is broken, being rude to customers in your delivery, not being willing to help with any of their concerns, not offer to get them help elsewhere, not transferring me to someone who could help, not getting the service fixed. 1000% disaster.

Desired outcome: I would like my service restored, a credit to my account for my 2nd loss of service and for the 4 hours of time I lost waiting on hold, and I would like a call confirming service restoration with an apology.

DISH Network Dish got hacked now customers are paying for it with no compensation wtf!?!

Here's my complaint. dish gets hacked 2 weeks ago including ALL customers private information on which dish is trying to hide under the rug while they try to take control of their system again. In the meantime all dish customer are SOL if they want more info as to how much personal damage this hack is going to do to customers. Unfortunately I'm contacting my lawyers for more info about a class action against dish and the lack of info they're giving out about how severe this hack has taken all dish customers private info. After being on hold today for 2fn hours I finally spoke with a representative who barely spoke English had no answers for my issues and 0 compensation offered. THIS IS A PROBLEM!

For me I believe since DISH is international they have reps outside the country babysitting the call center. All they can do is smile and nod, make promises they can’t keep and buy more time. I put a stop payment on DISH at my bank. Now I wait. We understand they were hacked but that is not our problem. Too many other options out there.

DISH Network Refund for an RCA OTA antenna that did not resolve my issue

I contacted Dish customer service on January 17, 2023. It was suggested I purchase the RCA antenna Dish carries and was told that if it did not resolve my issue, I had 30 days to return it for a full refund of $92.86. A Dish technician come to our home to install and it did not resolve my issue. I terminated my Dish service that day and contacted Dish regarding my refund. I returned the antenna on January 18, 2023, but have not yet received my refund. The authorization number associated with this transaction is #773026. I have tried contacting Dish but get the recorded message that you're having technical issues and then the line is disconnected.

Desired outcome: I want my refund of $92.86.

DISH Network Customer service and Dish services!

We were unable to use our free movie last month because of your shutdown! We tried our acct and called with no avail! We also have a free one this month and I called customer service today which they finally answered! They said there were no free movies on my acct! They also refused to let me speak to a supervisor about my complaint! We have been with Dish for over 15 yrs and that is the kind of respect we get as a valued customer? What kind of [censored] is that! We are at this point not event sure if we are going to keep this acct with Dish or move on and get an acct with Direct-TV! We have made many payments to Dish and not been late or disconnected at any time, wo we feel you have as a company dropped the ball in our behalf! We expect a phone call back from a supervisor, I'm not playing this cat and mouse game with you guys much longer!

DISH Network Dish Network TV zip code 42025 access to local Fox Channel 33

for a couple of months now we have had no access to local Fox channel 23. This is the channel that recently covered the Super Bowl And some Creighton basketball games and soon will broadcast the Masters golf tournament., I understand this channel is with KBSI and you are negotiating your price. In the meantime you are paying them nothing and there has been no reduction in my bill. W H Y !

Desired outcome: That station was included in my contract to switch to Dish. I expect a very quick a reinstatement of Fox on my channels.

This station, nor any specific station, was listed in your contract. Quite the opposite. Your contract states that you do not pay for any specific channel and if a channel is removed, you expect no compensation. If you read your contract, rather than make claims of it, every of your answers would be answered.

You do not pay for any specific channel and everyone’s agreement says the same thing(same as just about every provider too, for the same reason) that you do not subscribe to any station specifically, that any channel may be removed at any time and that you expect no compensation as you do not pay on a per channel basis. You pay for locals, but nowhere does it guarantee all locals all the time.

As i currently have no local channels and i have to reset my hopper 4x per day i will stand by my comment. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX. very specific and always Dish shuts it down because of negotiations, personally i believe they refuse to pay and use the money towards infrastructure. They are being investigated so as far as the contracts i truly don't care as i've not been able to go to my account in over a month. I have been with dish for years autopay and never missed a payment, and i know how they operate and how they will extend contracts without customer knowledge.They also have reps who know very little and say whatever is needed to keep customer hooked up. I have had techs out so many times i lost count. So yes i do expect what i pay for.

I called in to get tech support for my remote and the guy on the phone indicated to me that all DISH customers were being transferred to DIRECTV and the local channels were not allowed anymore. All I wanted was assistance with the remote and I have NOT heard of this before, yet I keep getting promotional ads via mail. not sure what is going on, but this is not acceptable.

Direct tv is offering DISH customers a 500 dollar Visa card to switch but they won’t call you. Sounds like you were scammed. I would put a stop payment through the bank, pay the $35 and wait for this to end.

DISH Network Dish satellite tv service

I have had continuous problems with receiving TV service through Dish. Two weeks ago I had the Dish Network technician at my home for over 6 hours and still no consistent service. I cannot reach Customer Service not can I sign into my account. However, my bank continues to be withdrawn for the monthly Dish amount of $160 per month. This is unethical practice. All I am asking for is a resolution for the problem and for correct and operable equipment to be installed. Dish indicates they had a breach, but assured all services are not functional and uninterrupted. NOT TRUE. How can this be resolved?

Desired outcome: I would like to be reimbursed for the time I have been without consistent service. Also, I would like equipment that that works. If not possible, I would like out the contract as Dish is in breech.

DISH Network DISH TV Service

I ordered DISH TV service the week of 02//13/2023. A installer came to install 02/17/2023. He did not complete installation due to download problems for Hopper Plus. During the weekend, I watched the DISH network and found several of my favorite channels missing. I checked the "Channel Lineup" I purchased and they were included. On Monday, 02/20/2023, I contacted DISH supervisor Nick at [protected] and explained that I would like installation to be completed and that I found other issues (i.e. missing channels). The DISH tech came Tuesday 02/21/2023 to complete installation and I explained about the missing channels. Apparently DISH is "in negotiations" and they are unavailable. This was NEVER told to me when I agreed to DISH service. Since your service was inaccurately sold to me with "lies of omission" I told the DISH tech I wanted to terminate service immediately. After talking to someone in you network that could do this they explained that a review of my circumstances would be complete in 48 to 72 hours and I would be contacted then. Again I was lied to, no one called. I have been trying to contact someone in the DISH network since Monday 02/27/2023 and your web page and numbers are not working.

Desired outcome: Terminate my DISH service without termination fees. If termination is not completed today (02/28/2023) I will file a formal complaint with the Attorney General's office along with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

DISH Network Equipment return

I have been dealing with this for over a year now. They are charging me over $600 for some VERY OLD and faulty equipment that I already returned! They called me months after I returned it saying that I had not returned it yet. I provided them with the tracking information and they apologized and let me know that this issue had been resolved. Then several month later I got a call from a collection agency saying that I still owed this. I told her what had happened and she said that she would put it in as a dispute. Now all the sudden (again several more months later) I just got a negative hit on my credit report as a collection from Valor Intellegent Processing, the # on the credit report for them is incorrect as it reports to their "toll road" division, but I googled and found the correct number and gave them the info, same thing they will put it into a dispute but at this point of time I no longer have the tracking info. After Dish apologized and told me this was taken care of, I got rid of it. I'm not sure where to go from here but this needs to be removed off my credit report IMMEDIATELY until they figure it out!

Desired outcome: I just want this done! I would return your old equipment if I still had it...It does no good for me to keep it! I want the collection cancelled and the negative collection removed off my credit report immediately!

I need your people to come and take out your equipment soon, or tell mem where I can send it too. You have absolutely no customer service, can't contact anyone for over a week. This is unacceptable. I have consulted an attorney which is a family member and he said that I'm in the right, Dish TV has breached it's contract with me. So again where do I send your equipment ?.

DISH Network Package fraud

Pay for the whole amount on my bill when you block my fox and could not see the Oregon bowl game and yesterday the Super Bowl game. The contract was for the local channels including fox as a package contract and should not been able to steal patrons money breaking your own contract another big business screws their patrons and can get away with and not lowering the bill for not compliance of contract and this has not been the first time you done this. There should be a great penalty for this fraudulent act.

DISH Network After almost 2 years they are asking me for money I do not owe...

I've decided to try DISH Network on my TV on August 16, 2021. After one day of installation, on the 17th, I decided to cancel my service with Dish because when I ordered, Dish's representative did not tell me the truth. After Dish was installed, I discovered that it was totally different from what I was told on the telephone. My television wasn't working, and I realized that every day they must update their service, so I can't use my television. So, what's the point of having Dish if we can't watch or record programs when they do their daily upgrade. I have received a bill asking me to pay $405 in August and in September an additional $480. I called six times on the 17 to cancel my account. Customer Service refused to cancel my account, claiming they were going to give me a better deal. I called 18 times on the 18th, and I rescinded the service again. They refused to cancel it telling me they were going to serve me better. I was calling until I found somebody who agreed to cancel the service. After 18 calls on the 18th, I have someone who accepts to cancel my service. I have no job. Their company misuses its authority and exploits people. Enough is enough. Their company is dishonest.

They said I had 30 days to call it off. Their services are not working, and they are charging people for money. I was with Spectrum, and Dish was going to charge me more money for the Internet as it was a package. Unbelievable! I am making a complaint against DISH Network and principally their attorney, collection agency name Forrest Hardy, Cobb Law Firm, located 301 Beacon Parkway West, Suite 100, Birmingham, AL 35209.

This attorney keeps harassing me, sending me mail after mail. Almost two years after canceling my account at Dish, I received a letter from their lawyer from a collection office, telling me to pay them off. I told him my account was cancelled and that I didn't owe them anything. I told him I talked to a lady in the corporate office, and she told me I didn't owe anything. But Dish is a major corporation, so from agent to agent, they're not on the same page. Hard to deal with corporations and big corporations. I returned the material immediately. They never come back to pick up their satellite after many attempts to ask them to do so.

I do not owe anything. I figure you work for dish network. By your rude attitude and what you say. Like I say I do not owe anything as I have the service for one day only. Period.

A few problems with your statement. You are saying he has time to cancel. That is true, per the commitment, he can cancel anytime. He will be subject to the termination fee however, as the contract is fully enforceable. There is NOT a 72 hour rule/law that applies.

And how has Dish dropped the ball? The OP admitted he signed the agreement, had service for a day, and then wanted to cancel. That is the OP dropping the ball.

Lastly, and supported by the SCOTUS, every customer has an arbitration clause. Not much a lawyer can do there.

There is no 72 hour rule. There is a cool down period for certain contracts. The courts have ruled that television service, specifically satellite service, does not fall under that in the states that have enacted it. A contract does not have to have anything to do with real money, or money at all. A contract is terms set forth for both parties, agreed to at the time of signing.

Sure, go with that. See how quickly you are laughed out for being an special case. I would recommend you read it with somebody that has reading comprehension. It's publicly available information.

Irony i asked a co worker who practices law. they asked me where your information came from after reading all of the TOC. they could not find your information anywhere in the TOC madness.

Anyways lets wait for OP to get back to us if their is more information we do not know. then we can re evaluate what the proper information to help them out with is. ok?

Your attorney friend asked where it precludes them from a grace period? Or he wasn't able to read where the 180 days is for the protection plan, specifically? I am starting to think your "attorney friend" did not actually read the document.

the "there is no grace period" they could not find.

AGAIN let us wait on OP before we continue this. i do want to know from them if they have more information. PLEASE wait till we get more information from them. this is getting off the complaint and not helping the OP.

If there is no mention of a grace period, then there is no grace period. It is assumed, once a contract is signed, it is fully enforceable. The only time that changes is if it is expressly written. What you posted before would not be expressly, considering it does not mention(in what you posted) what that applies to. So as such, it would not apply to anything, until you post the rest of it that shows.

There is no 30 day policy, and no matter how hard you try, you will not find one anywhere for Dish or Directv. Based on what you describe, you actually do owe the early termination fee.

So again, you’re saying you signed up for service, it was installed, and cancelled prior to the completion of the agreement?

I think you’re not understanding that there is no grace period. Your defense of “I only had it for one day” is actually what kills your entire case. It’s not about feelings. It’s about what you agreed to in print.

You do not know what you are talking about. I am done listening and talking to you. I do not owe anything I never use dish. You are the worse companies. So many negative reviews and you still did not get it. I feel so sorry for you.

You literally admitted you had it for a day. Are you saying I don’t know what I actually saw you put in print, multiple times? Present a case based on legal or at least reasonable fact, not your opinion about why you shouldn’t owe because it was a short period of time. Show me where in the contract there is a grace period?

id like to see where you found the no grace period rule. i searched on the issue [i never had dish so i had to research it] and found this by dish themselves on their own website.

"You may cancel this Plan at any time by calling [phone number]. New DISH Subscribers: If You cancel this Plan within the first 180 days after activation of Your DISH Network account, You will not be charged the Purchase Price and any applicable new subscriber credits for the Plan will end"

clearly says here, to what i understand, that they will allow you to cancel any time after activation up to 180 for new customers. from what OP posted they canceled right after day 1 of activation, so they had 179 days left in the grace period.

now if there is missing information from OP that we do not know that might change the answer...i dont know that part.

As always i check before i post information incase i am wrong. now if this policy changed and they did not update their website, that is on them and is false advertising.

Context is important. Go ahead and look at what that is discussing. That specific clause is for the Protection Plan. In contract law, if no grace period is listed, then there is no grace period. So unless it is expressly written that there is a grace period for ANY contract, it is fully enforceable upon signing. So can you show where there is a grace period on the specific contract and not the protection plan, which is just an insurance type service plan.

read the discussion and the whole PDF legal agreement. what you state does not exist in the agreement. the TOS has it multiple times stating 180 days for new customers, [if old then it does not use the 180 days.] from what i am reading this was a new account not a existing account. it took dish 2 days to cancel which means they wanted to run the 30 [or 180] days so that OP had no choice but to pay in full.

again i research the topic i post to before i answer. the TOS says new accounts are 180 days from activation to cancel WITHOUT a fee. unless you can produce a TOS that contradicts the one dish has on their website then i cant with 100% certainty not say the OP is not telling the whole truth.

though with that said OP is this a new or existing account before you got dish tv?

Its a fact that one has 72 hours one can cancel ANY so called contract. Which isnt a contract at all, one would have to have real money for a valid contract. Would they not? A federal reserve note is a debt instrument (a debt US CORP owes a private Bank) backed by nothing but ones (real man/woman's) credit. "Express the trust". They are stealing from you. Instruct the Attorney to prove you owe it. Ask him if this is where he wants to be when Jesus comes back...

Can you tell me where this "FACT" is located? If you are talking about the 72 hour lemon law/Cool Down, does not apply to all contracts. It applies to specific contracts, and satellite television is not one of them. Please post the law that changes that.

DISH Network most of the programming is old stuff and sports channels and spanish channels

why arent we able to choose our own networks if i am paying for 150 channels than that is what i would like to watch. we dont watch NFL,NHL,NBA,MLB. we only watch the Golf channel. it seems we are paying for everyone else to watch those channels. Also we dont watch Spaish channels or any other non english channels. tired of trying to find channels to watch something that isnt old.

The channels are decided contractually by the channel owner, which package they go in. The cost of the channels is subsidized by offering them in groups. This will be the same everywhere you go, as again, the packaging is decided by the channel owners contractually to be able to offer their channel.

Channel packages are not the same everywhere you go. You just assume that other providers have as septic a mix of available channels as DISH network.

Why is it all your comments relate to DISH. Never mind, that was a rhetorical question, It's painfully obvious that you are a [censored]ted dishonest DISH employee.

All providers have the same basic layout for the same reason. Given above. Some providers may omit one channel and have another moved to another package as they may carry different amounts of packages. That is still contractual by the channel owner, whom is paid per subscriber not per viewer.
