Disatisfied Direct TV Customer May 6, 2011
Lousy Customer service
I spoke with Sarah AQ-1671

As I tried explaining myself to her she kept interrupting me. When I raised my voice and asked her not too, she yelled at me saying I don't have to put up with this and she wasn't going to talk to me if I continued to do so. I raised my voice because she wasn't listening to me, and asked her to stop. (You might have this conversation recorded) I feel she was being a bit overzealous.

My problem was when the installers were here they said I could have an extra outlet added at no charge. I told them at the time I wasn’t sure where I wanted it. I called yesterday after deciding where and was informed that it was no longer free. That's one issue.

Another was the installers also told me that during a rain storm I wouldn’t loose reception because the dish is pointed in a way that would prevent that from happening, they lied on both accounts. I did all of the attic work for them as I'm particular in the way my wires are run in the attic. The spent approximately two minutes in the attic.

Another issue is the picture not being synced with the sound. There was a rep here that changed the receiver and said; after trying to rectify the problem, the problem was with the broadcasters and not Direct TV. He said he would notify the "engineers" of the problem. I called after the first day of installation as the problem was occurring then, and was told by a rep that she would also contact the "engineers" to rectify the problem. I never heard form anyone so I called back and that’s when they sent out the “tech”

The problem still exists. After having Direct TV for only one month I'm quite dissatisfied with the product, but more-so with the staff associated with Direct TV. I'm a patient and kind person and I felt like I was treated rather rudely. Unfortunately I have signed a two year contract with no way of getting out of it, if I have known what I know now I would have gone with Dish TV or Comcast cable TV. But when my contract ends I promise you that I will have your service disconnected. In the mean time I will not recommend Direct TV to any of my friends or relatives.

Sincerely
Direct TV customer

Termination fee that I DID NOT owe taken from my checking account
I have spent over a month trying to get Directv to refund $275 that they withdrew directly from my checking account after I was told I would not be charged a cancellation fee if I merged my account with my boyfriend's after moving in together. They sent a bill for a cancellation fee...I called...was told to disregard it, it would be taken care of. 9 days later, $275 was withdrawn from my checking account by directv!!! I called...it would be refunded in 8 days. 10 days later, no refund. I called...there was a mistake...it would be corrected and refunded in another 8 days. 8 days later, no refund. Everytime I talked to someone they would correct it, but nothing ever happened. I asked to speak to a supervisor each time but they had no direct lines to a supervisor! Finally, feeling like I was being scammed and given the run -around and not knowing where to go next, I found this website with another directv customer's posting with the corporate office number:

Tel. (310) 964-5000

They were more than willing to go above and beyond and were very apologetic for my troubles!! So call this number if you can't get anywhere with customer service!! Before finding the posting with this number, I couldn't find a number ANYWHERE on the internet to reach someone higher in the company!

Holding payment
Direct TV is holding my final payment to them for 40 days before they send me the credit I am owed. I cancelled them because of the worst customer service I'd ever experienced and this is the icing on the cake. The payment to them has been out of my checking account for 3 weeks already while sit and collect interest as a huge corporation on money they owe me. Is this insane or not??

Sports Pack Programming is a Fraud
Been a subscriber to DTV's Sports Pack for over 10 years. I also subscribe to the MLB package. This year it seems that the pre-game shows are blacked out on the Fox and Regional sports channels. I called DTV customer service but can't get a straight answer (another example of poorly trained CSR's). I asked to speak with a supervisor but the agent said I'd have to wait on the line for at least an hour. Makes me wonder what I'm paying an extra $12.99 for what seems like a worthless Sports Pack. Appears to be a scam. Maybe another class action suit against DirecTV is in order.

false liability
My ex husband had direct in his name only as we were divorced. After the sale of the home I tried to turn in the receivers and they would not accept them saying they had to come from him. Now they say I am liable and was on the account for $489.57. How can I be on the account when trying to turn in the receivers they would not accept stating the account was in his name, we were divorced and I could just be trying to pull a fast one on him.
This company is full of it!

Added Fees
Sold my house and was moving across town. I called Direct TV two months before the move to cancel my account. I asked for three receiver boxes so I can send their equipment back. I only received one and called for more boxes. When I called, I was specifically told "you have older type receivers and you can just recycle them, we don't need them". So, I got rid of them and moved into my new home. Four months later, I receive a bill from Direct TV for $148 because I didn't return the receivers. I called their abysmal customer service (in India) to complain but to no avail. Will never use them again. However, I thank Direct TV because I don't have any satellite or cable service and only use the internet and Netflix to get my shows. I couldn't be happier.

rebate
I am writing after several failed attempts to obtain rebates for my fathers account. I am a customer of direct tv and I recommended the company to my father for satellite services in January, 2011. There were to be several rebates to be applied to his accounts, making his monthly bill more affordable. My father can not read, therefore I do my best to take care of his financial situations. When we were calling direct tv to obtain services for his home, it was never mentioned that the rebate had to be submitted with in 90 days. All we were told was that he could submit it prior to installation, or afterwards but it would take 6-8 weeks for his rebate to be applied to his account. I was misinformed completely when it came to submitting his rebates. I called direct tv yesterday, Wednesday, April 27, 2011. I was on the phone for 4 hours yesterday due to being disconnected from them 7 times. Noone would help me and a rude comment was made by one of their supervisors when I told them that my father could not read, this is why I was his point of contact for his account. I suffered emotional distress because of their lack of concern and pointless customer service.
Please help me with this matter.

Over Charges
We finally disconneted with Direct TV. We only had two more months on our contract. They charged us $40.00 early disconnection fee. I got a FINAL BILL. I paid it and then I got a bill for $1.88, late charges, I paid the bill within a week. I was told that my March bill was late. Not it was paid on time. FINAL BILL is all charges are on the bill. Oh may I add that was one reason we disconnect was that they would put a increase on your bill anytime they wanted too. SO LONG SUCKER. I will never have Direct TV again...EVER. aka Nanny

Non removal of Dish
My Daughter was living at my house. She had Direct TV while living there, but then moved to to another state. She called Direct TV to move her service, which they did. But they would not remove the satellite dish from my house. They told my Daughter that she needed to remove it. It this right? Has anyone else had this problem?

Misleading Rebate Term on sign-up
Left Dish Network after many years use at our summer cottage due to service issues and signed up in March, 2011 for Direct TV; great rebate offer and initial installation service. Also, referred you neighbor. Of course we had already alled for intallation prior to telling them about the referral, so no rewards. That as not an issue fo us. Told to call rebate line to activate before installation after account # given to us. Did that - Direct TV claims we didn't. Then went on-line to claim rebate. Website not functioning properly for that function for 3 weeks until today. Finally got to correct page to sign-up for rebate (already received first full bill) and rebate states $31 rebate for 12 months, not the 2 years we were led to believe at time we signed up for service which is a mandatory 24-month contract. This is a cottage...we do not want to spend $100 a month for TV for limited days usage. I called to complain. First put on hold waiting for a supervisor, then disconnected. Called back and got a supervisor, Max, who did not listen and talked over me continuously. His only comments were that we should've looked at the ads they send in mail to customers...we weren't customers until after locked in, and we should check-out website for terms...no internet access at cottage to see their website prior to signing up. We got number from yellow pages.
If we sign the agreement for the rebate, we are agreeing to only 12 months. If we don't, we are stuck with $100 a month bill before we really start using it.
We are totally stuck with this mess.
