Adding NFL package without my authorization
Direct TV added NFL package to my account without my authorization. My husband noticed the big hike after a few payments and mentioned it to me. I proceeded to call the company and spent about 1 hour being directed to a woman that told me they would never do this without my authorization. She said they hire telemarketing companies that may have called me. Oh, I did receive a call for that but I said NO. She said she would have to go to different dept. and I would be notified within 5 days. Well 5 days went by and I said to my husband " have you received any new bills yet?" Well tonight after maybe a month we get a phone call from them saying if my bill isn't paid my service will be cut. I explained to the agent the first phone call and she said nothing was noted only that I cancelled it along with my ShowTime . I asked to speak to a supervisor again after 30 minute wait I hung up and called again. This time I was told because I once had it they automatically renew it at NFL time. I explained when I initially signed up it was given to me as a promotion but cancelled it after 5 weeks. ICANCELLED IT . I NEVER WANTED IT.
The agent was only able to credit me $60.00 while they billed me for 5 months without my authorization. THIS COMPANY MUST BE STOPPED, BEWARE OF DIRECT TV.

Billing Issues
Direct TV is a total rip off. I had service with Direct TV back in 2005, I then moved and had to cancel my service in 2006. In 2007, I subscribed to the service again after moving yet again. Well, I was having some issues with the reciever last month Nov. 2008 and connected it to the dial-up and my bill has 3 pay per view movies from 2005 posted to my account in month. I have no bill to verify from 2005 that the movies where never paid for and I was told that they have been sitting ideally on the reciever since that time and puff now I need to pay up. (1) How in the heck could I have ordered a movie, without a record of the purchase being anywhere but on the reciever since 2005. (2) They have a record to verify I never paid for it but I was never billed until now for a 2005 charge that I can't see it or verify and I am expected to pay without proof that is isn't a billing error. The charge is about $16.00 not a make or break situation but it is the principle. I asked the customer service rep and the superivor "Is is not possible that is could be a billing error and I am being charged twice.." response "That is not possible..." give me a FREAKING BREAK... They just lost a loyal customer today...

fraud/lies/theft
In October I telephoned Direct TV sales to enquire about the 'Cricket Ticket' After speaking with a sales person and supervisor I bought an HD package and Cricket Ticket. On installation (by a very surely individual) I found no Cricket. I telephoned customer services and spoke to a number of people including the international dept. I was told the 'Cricket Season' was 'over' and there was no future schedule available. As I had only bought Direct TV for Cricket I cancelled the service straight away having been connected for about 30 mins.
I had paid $428.17 fraudulently obtained by Direct TV -$300 as a differentiated payment as I have no credit rating in the US. I am told I will receive no refund. This is THEFT. I was not informed that my $300 was a gift to Direct TV...Their customer service people are laughably unhelpful and I was 'cut off' by financial disputes!
I have, as a last ditch effort e-mailed the office of the Vice-President for customer relations before utilizing the Small Claims Court.

It is unbelievable that a company can operate in such a scandalous fashion in todays America - any advice is welcome.

stealing from the eldertly
I scheduled a repair for my parents (actually correction of initial installation that was never completed last FEB!!), and was assured that my parents would not be charged. The service man came in this morning, did the job, then told my father he wanted 30 dollars or would submit a bill for 85. My father, a fearful 85 yr old with an invalid wife, complied. Cash. No receipt. I am appalled and disgusted. I would like to know who the man was and what will be done to keep him from doing such things in the future. I am considering calling the Philadelphia Police. Further, I have been on hold for 40 min now waiting for local Cust Service.

Overcharged
I had DIRECT TV for over 2 years and fulfilled my 2 year contract. I called them to cancel. They told me they were going to charge me an Early termination fee and a total charge for about 217.00. So I filed a Dispute with the Better Business Bureau whom has been very helpful at resolving disputes about different things in the past. And decant company's Do work with you.

Not DIRECT TV they came back and said I Owed 610.00 How did it go from 210.00. to 610.00. I know other people who have had problems with Direct TV and they don't care. I just want to Warn people about DIRECT TV so they DON'T have the same problem. To STAY away from this company. I was warned a year ago by a friend about them and told myself this wont happen to me. Will it did. I am very upset about this.

Installation/charges
From the Direct TV salesperson to Istallation and billing, this company operates in the most fraudgelent, underhanded way of any company I have ever dealt with. The salespeople will say anything to get you to take the bait, even lie and the technicians that install the dish and cable are not even properley trained in doing so and communicate none of the installation process with the customer who is having the work done. They have no regard for your personal property and don't care how you feel even after the damage is pointed out to them. My home was seriously damaged from Direct TV installation and their Quality Lead even came out, took pictures, wrote up a report and told me this was a bungled job and it would have to be re-installed. I was promised a senior tech ASAP and after waiting and not hearing anything from Direct Tv, I called a week and a half later to find no work order oredered. I cancelled my service with them, and now am being billed a $500.00 early cancellation charge. I have called and tried to talk with their customer service, who really need a job titled auto response team with no knowledge of anything, and was told I owe and they would do whatever it takes to get it, even ruining my credit. I am now going through damage claims specialists in Oregon, hiring a general contractor, had to have an electrician fix my wiring in the attic from the fault of the direct tv tech messing with it, and now trying to fight just to keep my credit in good standing. DON'T EVER HAVE DIRECT TV INSTALLED!!!
You'll regret it.
Thanks for listening, Tracy

unauthorized withdrawal of funds from my checking account
I ordered a cable service on Nov. 23rd for $52.99. I was promised 100 or more channels with some local sports channels including CNN in addition. The service was restored on Nov.23 on Nov. 24 while at home I decided to view an NBA game on a local channel but as soon as I went to that channel, I was asked to pay to view the NBA game. Secondly, I couldn't get CNN as promised by Direct TV representative. Therefore, I called an canceled my order within 24 hours. I persistently asked the rep. whether I will be billed for any penalties and the lady said no. To my surprise Direct TV went ahead and debited an amount of $295 from my checking acoount unknown to me. I just realized that this week 12/5/08 when I received my account history from my bank. I called immediately and reported the withdrawal of the unathorized amount from my account and said they will get back to me but as of now I have not heard anything from them yet. I want my $295 back immediately. This is fraud and if I do not get my money back I will sue Direct TV.
When this incident happened I returned their receiver and the cable remote to them within four days and even at that time when I called and asked them whether I will be charged extra for canceling the agreement within 24 hrs they said no. However, they went ahead and debited my account of $295 of which I want that money back immediately. Thanks
