My father is very ill 74 year old man. He spends a lot of time at home and most of that time he is in front of the TV it is his only way to the outside world. Because of problems with the cable company he was with my father felt it was time to move on. he called Directv and signed up with them. He was told that he would only have to pay $29.00 a month. This was an out right lie. My father stayed with this company for about 5 months and all the bills where over $100.00. He contacted and told them he was being over charged yet they staff would not clear up the matter. my father then called and asked where he can drop off his boxes and the staff began try to justify past bills and offering deals in order to stay with their company. My father is now with dishnetwork and is only paying $24.00 a month. for three months my father has calling to return diretvs equipment as well as to get them to send him a overall bill so he could show them how he was being over charged and they would not help him. Now the newest thing is that my very sick father may soon be put out onto the street because Directv went into his Social security money and took $604.oo out of his card now he does not have the money he needs to pay his rent, car insurance, or phone bill. Directv sent a installer to my father home and that took five times of setting that up before he got here. He had been drinking and scared my father by being in my fathers home like that. The installer told my father he needed a post put up in order to receive directv services that would have been another $100.00 when my father called to complain but he was told that the installer was not a part of directv and that they could not do anything about the installers behave r and actions. This company took money out of my father debt card without his approval and new my father will lose his home and maybe his life because of this company's greed. If any one know what I can do to get my fathers money back please contact us at [email protected] I also would like to point out that there are more issues that I have not listed but the need to get this out so some one can help my father that i'll write the whole grievance out and hope my father will not have to be thrown onto the street.
