I Helen Williams would like to make a complaint on who ever lives at 1153 south 53 street. Because they have used my personl information to obtain a direct Tv bill in my name without my permission. An addition I have seen this address on my credit report and I have never lived at this address and I dont know who lives here at all. My home address is 6508 Elmwood ave Philadelphia pa 19142. i would like to press charges and have this bogus charged given to whoever lives at the house where they ran up this bill and used fraud to retrive this account.

Once you do the yearly contract then they sink their teeth in you and and they donot tell you they are going to stick it in you after the year is up.I had the same problem with dish network I would negociate a new price on their service and then when I got the bill it was always wrong (always higher)not lower and I would have to call in and be deal with un professionly customer service people who do not want to get the bill wright. We need help in getting these companies to quit unscrupolous billing and to let people know up front what their going to do to you after the first year is up. I am sick and tired of dealing with these companies and it seems like they all boil with the same water.I would like to see a class action law suit against these people and it would be well deserved.They are gougeing the consumer and their billing that always benifits them. I believe alot of people do not call in to get their bill wright because they do not want to go through the hassle getting these companies on the phone and have to haggle with them to get the bill wright and most likely the next month is a repeat process. We need more competition and this needs to stop.We are in a recession and these companies like Direct are taking advantage of the consumer.Someone help us and get the greedy gougers out of our back pocket.

After jogging along for several years I cancelled Direct TV in early December for a variety of reasons. They tried to sell me their $29.99 plan but I did not wish to continue as I had heard about that. I asked them to send me a final bill which arrived around Christmas time (it was dated December 21) in the amount of $105.17.There had been a financial emergency in December, and I e-mailed them that I would pay this account when the next pension check arrived onJanuary 26. To make a long story short there have been numerous e-mails going to and fro telling me that if the entire amount is not paid by January 16 they are going in to my account to take it out. This is despite the fact I have informed them I will either phone it in or send it by the internet on January 26. I told them the bill was high in estimation anyhow but I wanted to get rid of them.
I have informed them as far as I am concerned the only people authorized to withdraw money fromyour account is the IRS. They more or less told me "tough". I consider this harrassment over not months, not weeks, but 12days.
I am old and I got so upset I had a dizzy attack. I have to think of my health. I therefore e-mailed Direct TV that there would be no further communications with their office period. BBB (with whom I have filed a complaint in their Colton, California office) tell me there are over 47, 000 complaints on file about Direct TV, and the company has an F rating. I have never authorized automatic deductions from my Bank account for these people, and I dont think it is legal for them to do that. I told them I would send them a money order for this amount on January 26 2011. I dont trust them with account numbers. I also told them if I found any deductions from my account triggering a double payment., I would download the e-mails and go directly to the police, and the Tennessee Attorney General.
I would keep away from them in just over one month their actions have managed to turn my account into a bad account.
I now watch dvds at home, and my television is tuned to Antenna TV.
One doesnt need this unpleasantness...Ebenezer

Do yourself a favor and avoid Direct TV at all costs. The service is lousy, their customer service is abusive. The DVR boxes do not work. THERE IS A REASON THEY ARE THE ONLY TV COMPANY THAT MAKES YOU SIGN A CONTRACT. That's because they can not deliver service. It takes my new LCD TV an hour to warm up so that I can use the remote controls, and they told me that's how the new TVs are...no that's how their lousy equipment is. I paid $50 for a service call to be told this. They have a digital box and analog remote and the two do not work together. I am breaking my contract, I'll pay the $200 just to never deal with them again!
