Direct TV Reviews

False advertising
I have had Direct TV for several years and only because there is no other TV service in my remote area. I have had multiple billing errors with this company. I was offered free premium channels and then was charged for them. I was told I would be credited back but must pay that bill or they would send it to collections. I then did not receive a credit for 8 weeks which is their policy. I was promised a free movie and then was told I would get in the mail a certificate in 3 months. I relocated and was told Direct TV had no service in my area and that it the wait would be months. They did find another contract worker in a month to set up the system and I was told that I would get that month free. I was billed for it and when I refused to pay, they threatened collections. I have been told multiple times that a manager would return my call and none ever did. I also have slow internet in my remote area and cannot access their website due to their highly graphical site so I must order movies by phone and am charged an additional fee even though it is automated! Do not get service from Direct TV if there are other options. I would recommend this company to no one.

Unauthorized charge to my bank accout
I cancelled my Direct TV service in January. I paid my final statement and sent my receiver's back, they got them and everything was fine. Out of the blue without my knowledge they charged my bank account $107. When I called they told me that charge was from movies that were downloaded 8 years ago in 2002. They said they scanned my access card and the movies were on it so I am responsible for the charges. Come on, 8 years, really.

Bait & Switch
This company is a poor excuse in the country. I signed up for Direct TV in Sept 2010 and within 4 days a sales woman called and convinced my wife about a special deal. She did not tell her that you can't go back to the same package when deal is done. My bill just went up $35.00. I asked how much to get out of Direct TV and they tell me $380.00. Holy cow!

They steal from your checking account
Let's say your bill is $76 per month, and you pay your bill on time every month, never late. But a customer service rep thinks that they deserve more money from your account, they just take it without asking. When you challenge this as an unauthorized charge, they then refer you to the convuluted, misrepresentative, one sided contract that you signed. So all of the customer service reps at Direct TV have total access to your checking account and can take whatever they want out of your account without asking for whatever reason. They can steal and the Federal Communications Commission does nothing.

After 5 days of calling our local contact #, no response from anyone
Your receiving modum has apparently failed as there in no longer a blue light as in the past. After 5 days of trying to contact you through1-214-399-3220, I have not received a single word of response!

If you no longer provide service for your customers, kindly notify me of such and I shall seek help from other sources! We are both 86 years of age and television is our constant contact with the outside world. Please help us now!!

Scam
When we signed, we were promised at better deal. What we got was a bigger bill. Customer Service accused us of ordering the NFL Program, which we never even recieved. When they told me what channel it was on, we found we didn't even get the channel! yet it was thier word against ours, and even when we showed them we didn't get channel, they would no reimburse us. they were so rude, we canceled, then were fined over $700.0 for it. No justice, we were scammed, and forced to pay or risk bad credit. Never again.

Destruction of property while on service call
To: Whom it may concern
From: Luke

My family has had Direct TV for many years without any major problems, but a week ago I called them because our televisions had been receiving weak or no signals. The representative I talked to gave me a hard time saying that I should have called as soon as we started having the problem. I explained to her that we thought it was a weather problem, but even when the weather was good, we weren't getting good reception. She finally agree'd to send a technician to see what the problem was and also agreed to give us 3 days of free programing. The technician fixed the problem, but while he was here, he broke our rain gutter and it's clamps. It snow the day after and when it melted, the rain poured into our basement. All of our rain gutters are directed away from the house, but when he broke the one nearest the satelite dish, he didn't tell us he had broke it. What can we do about this injustice? Help!

Help on dish set up
As a long time customer of Direct TV I asked for a little help on setting up my dish in FL. All I got was the run around about because my account was in CT they could not put in a call for a tech to come to my condo in FL because the computer could not do that. If I told them I was going to move they would set it up run new cable all at no charge. If I was going to be a new customer they would give me everything free. I wanted to use my DVR so I wired my 5th wheel (which does not move) for a dish which I have with three LBNs the cable fellow in the park had trouble setting up the dish which is a little harder then a dish with one LBN.
I don't believe for one minute that a call could not be put in the system all it has to have is someone that knows how. Over ten years as a customer and I can't get a simple dish set up.
Next call is to President & CEO Chase Carey.

Direct tv once again gains access to a bank account charging outrageous fees . someone needs to stop this! no one told me of a 300 dollar early termination fee when i upgraded! canceled my account and was charged over 700.00 dollars from my account . they did this without my permission.if there is a class action lawsuit against these underhanded poeple someone let me know, i will join today. also their product is horrible.again if anyone knows of a lawsuit pending for their conduct.
Chris Badge # 1774/Direct TV is a FRAUD! February 16, 2011
Rip Off
Complete FRAUD! These guys said we own the equipment we just purchased from them 1 month ago and it does not work! When we call them to have them fix it, we waited on hold for over 1 hour just be told a service call would cost $250 to go out to correct the problem. Sounds like they purposely make the satellite not work, then just blame it on our equipment that we purchased from them! Horrible attitudes and service! Chris (Badge # 1774) from Direct TV said she does not have a boss and cannot provide her last name due to company policy. A total rip off and fraud!
