Direct TV is one of the biggest rip offs there is DIRECT TV. MAKES PROMISES THEY DON'T KEEP CHARGE YOU FOR SERVICES YOU DON'T RECIEVE. I had already been out of contract with them for over a year when I called to cancel with them. My husband was out of work at the time and it was not in the budget. they begged us to keep the service, promised us discounts and everything, I said not its not in the budget and we don't have time to watch TV. They said they would drop our payments from 65 to 20 a month for 6 months if we would try to stay with them. I told them I did not know but I would try it. After the 6 months I called and said we weren't watching it we didn't have time and I wanted to cancel. They said no problem they would send out a box for the reciever and that my acct was paid up it would show that I owed for the reciever until they got it and then they would credit me for that and my acct would be zero. I sent the reciever out and a couple of weeks later I checked and my acct was zero. Months later I recieved a bill saying I owed 122.94 I called them spent over 2 hrs on the phone with reps, supervisors and it seems that they had it down that I had 2 recievers because a repair guy had come out and replaced a reciever and taken the old one but did not process the paperwork correctly. They were able to verify that they had the reciever and I owed nothing. A few months later I recieve a notice from Allied Interstate Collections that I owed Direct TV 122.94 I called them and told them what happened and they said call Direct TV. with I did I spent another 2 hrs on the phone getting it straighten out with a supervisor she sent me an email confirming that it was cleared. Direct TV's site showed I owed nothing Allied showed I owed nothing. A few months later I get a letter from Allied showing I owe Direct TV 122.94. This time I asked to speak to the supervisors supervisor, I spoke to Cheryl once again spending a great deal of time on the phone she investigated and called me back, appologizing profusely and said she had it cleared up once and for all and I would not be recieving anymore letters from Allied or Direct TV that it was their error and that it had been rectified. Now 3 months later I have recieved a letter from Allied saying once agin that I owe 122.94 and Direct TV's website also shows that I owe that money I called and talked to Rob a supervisor that after an hr told me the charges were not for the reciever but all the discounts that they gave me while trying to retain my business they were now reversing because I did not stay with them. I said you can't do that I never agreed to that I would have just canceled which is what I wanted to do from the beginning. They said someone should have disclosed that to me and they were sorry it wasn't disclosed. I told her to pull the tape from the recorded phone calls. She said they couldn't do that. Th ey say that I owe the money now. Money that use to be for a reciever that was proven didn't exsist and now for fees that were never disclosed. THIS IS A SCAM BEWARE of DIRECT TV.
