Direct TV SCAM / Cancellation Fees
Direct TV offered the service and hooked me into a contract for two years saying if I moved and the service was not able to be transferred I would not have to pay the cancellation fee. That is a scam, they will charge it and do all in their power, lies and lies to rob, steal f rom you. I WILL NEVER EVER USE DIRECT TV IN MY LIFE AND WILL DO ALL I CAN FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ALSO NOT GET THIS SERVICE!!! THEY ARE A COMPANY OF SCAM AFTER SCAM.

Disgusted in Idaho

Business Ethics/Corporate Responsibility
This past September (2010) after relocating to Idaho we were having issues regarding our Direct TV service, specifically the ability go wireless. After a few calls the same Direct TV service technician came to our house and said with Hughes Internet service that the wireless aspect would not work. He was honest and trust worthy (we even tried to tip him $40 upon install and he refused to take it saying it was against corporate policy).
A few weeks later I was in our bedroom with my spouse being "intimate" when my dogs started barking. I jumped out bed naked and looked out my bedroom door without leaving the room when i noticed a gentleman standing on the right side of our porch peering in at me. When I threw pants on I asked him what the hell he was doing and he said he was a "Direct TV supervisor" and was following up on the service call. He kept peering around my shoulder through-out this conversation and I told him to leave immediately.
Immediately after he left I call Direct Tv corporate and lodged a complaint with the Boise office. The lady I talked to told be that this behavior would not be tolerated and that she would look into it. Almost a month later I still had not heard anything from them and I called back to find out and to cancel my service. I was informed that there was "no record" of my complaint and that I would be charged for "early disconnection." Obviously I was pissed and threatened to go to our local Sheriff's office to file formal complaints.
It was obviously that they have no concerns about what there employees do or what their phone representatives say or do. I call about every two weeks and keep getting told I have no right to cancel my service as I "signed a contract, " yet when I discuss why there has been no follow-up or complaint I am told "You have no right to be part of the investigative process." What in the hell? All VICTIMS are part of the investigative process!!!
Bottom line is this; Direct Tv has a "corporate ethics" policy yet if it means it interferes with income it suddenly ignores it. When are we going to start holding this corporation accountable? Why is it OK for them to hire and then hide sexual predators as employees and refuse to be accountable for their (the corporations) actions?

Overcharges
This is the worst company ever. i pay ninety dollars a month for H.D channels and when i went to go order a movie that came with the package with my receiver, it told me that this was unavailable. so i realized that i was paying 10 extra dollars a month adding up to 200 dollars for the time that i had it. then, when i looked up why it wouldn't let me order this movie, it said that i had to buy a whole new receiver! i am very extremely upset with the service i was given.

Unauthorized Charge/Inaccurate Billing
I sign up for a "promotional" offer for $35/month for DirectTV. They charge $75/month - after 15+ phone calls (HOURS on the phone with "customer service" only offering to "upgrade my package"). Then they disconnect the service after 60 days - despite having sent payment. My payment returns 10 days after it was sent saying my account didn't exist. (I had to send a check because I needed to reset my password for their website and - according to customer service - they can't help with that either. They eventually transferred me to another department in which I was promptly disconnected.) WTF?!?! I try yet again to call back - all I want is basic service!!! Now, on Christmas Eve, I see that they charged my primary checking account without any prior notice or authorization for $786. I can't call them or my bank until after the holidays to get everything sorted out. How could they debit my account when they returned a check that had the EXACT SAME INFORMATION ON IT?!?!
I can't imagine the poor saps they do this to that wouldn't have the money to cover such bullsh*t. We'll see how the Better Business Bureau and my lawyer would like to resolve this. I've heard horror stories of people having issues with satellite TV, but this is WAY BEYOND anything I ever imagined feasibly possible.

Billing Practices
You would think that a good company would let you know that if you don't return the forgotten about equipment in your home that they would contact/warn you. Not Direct TV. Wham! They put a $400 charge against our debit card and we had to scramble around to cover our usual monthly deductions. It's obvious that they don't care about their customers. I'm happy to say that when we promptly returned the equipment (alhough they made us wait for the shipping boxes to arrive) they did give us our money back. They must have been sued one too many times to keep our money.

Service and Fees
We moved to Sandpoint, ID from Denver - and were disappointed when COMCAST wasn't available for our phone, internet and television services. We contacted Frontier (local phone provider) and they had a bundled package with Direct TV and Verizon for Internet Services. We bought their package and have had a rude awakening with DirectTV - after over a period of two weeks, over 10 hours on the phone w/ their technical department, installation department and customer service (more like .. your a customer, who cares?) we still don't have the services we requested, we are paying for them and now they want an additional $125.00 so, we can get what we want - even though we were told we already paid for everything. Their customer service attitude is, you signed a two year contract - we have you and we can treat you how we want. Their staff doesn't care and when we ask to speak to a Supervisor, they transfer you and "opps" the line goes dead. When we did get a supervisor, all "Tom" employee # 253788 - said - Pay us $125.00 - that is your only option and he hung up. DON'T SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THEM - customer service is non-exsistent, technical service (we had 2 technicans and the problem still isn't solved.) and management don't care - because you have a two year binding contract. FIND ANOTHER PROVIDER - this isn't worth the headaches, phone bills and limited service options.

Bill
My husband was deployed so I put the account on hold so that they wouldn't charge us when it wasn't being used. Six months later I paid the bill twice and then put it back on hold because thats what they told me that I had to do. They never put it on hold and six months after that they were taking money out of my account for it. When I called they told me that it was never put on hold and I said fine but I was sending the stuff back and that they weren't to take anymore money of of my account and sent them the mailing info not even two days after I sent the stuff they took out the money for the stuff. So I called them and they said it would take 5 days to return the money after they got the stuff. I called back 2 weeks later and they told me that I had to wait until the statement went out and then after 5 business days they would put it into my account. I called back today and they told me that now it was going to take 6-8 weeks to return the money. So not only have I paid for a service I didn't use but they are keep my money as long as they can.

Cancellation
I signed up for Direct tv starting December 2010. I spoke with the sales representitive expressing that I was interested in a bundle deal (cable & Internet) and wanted to know if they had such a thing. The sales agent went on to describe that AT&T could be bundled with Direct tv and would allow for a better savings by doing so. The sales agent ran a search to check if AT&T Internet was available in my specific area. The sales agent said yes I do show that AT&T Internet is available in your area and as soon as I was through completing my Direct tv cable that I would be sent directly to AT&T to set up my Internet. I agreed to the terms of the contract, bundled Internet and cable and was a happy camper. So I thought! After I had already established a installation date for my cable through Direct tv and AT&T for my Internet I received a call from Direct tv saying there was an issue with my account. It seems that AT&T is not available in my area even though it was clearly stated that it was! The only reason that I agreed to the contract was for AT&T Internet and Direct tv as a bundle. I called several times to express that I felt that the contract had been breached because the AT&T service that was stated to be available was not and I restated that was the underlining reason for my purchase to bundle save and be satisfied. After three days of calling and speaking to supervisors there was not one person that could understand that I wanted to cancel due to being provided with incorrect information from the Direct tv sales agent. The supervisor stated that Direct tv up held their part of the agreement and was a seperate entity that Direct tv. You think! So point being I can not cancel without the cancellation fee being applied. WTF I said the Direct tv sales agent stated it was available AT&T said it was available and when I came to the installation date I received a call saying nope not available. So here I am SOL not even a week with Direct tv and being screwed over. I have no Internet and will not receive the discount for bundling the two services. I can write my complaint to the billing disputes in Colorado and see if the cancellation fee can be waved. Do not go through Direct tv pay the additional $20 a months for anything better or anything at all in your area.
