Directv "mover's" page states you are allowed ONE "FREE" move per year. It also states there are certain terms and conditions, such as tenure, payment history, etc. HOWEVER, the company does not list any specific language as to how long the 'tenure' has to be. The language is VERY arbitrary (a word I used with the 'customer service' rep but I doubt she knew what it meant until I explained it to her). IOW, the company can select the terms for length of service within that first year on an arbitrary basis, whatever they want it to mean. This particular rep stated to me that I would have had to have service for 6 - 8 months prior to the move in order to qualify for a "free" move and not be charged a $50 fee for moving. Even that is arbitrary...is it 6 months, 7 months or 8 months? What if it is 5 months and 28 days? The long and short is with all the complaints about this company, and they are legion, which major consumer protection law firm out there is going to take on this company in a class-action suit??? I'll be the first plaintiff and will assist in the filing and work that needs to be done. Their capricious and arbitrary practices in all areas of overcharging and lack of proper service are outrageous and must be stopped... to hit them in the pocketbook... big time. Anyone want to help me take this on?

I cancelled my service with Directv on 5/4/2010 after being a customer for 10 years. Had no problems until I cancelled! Now I can not get them to stop calling me! I have contacted the DOJ three times and my AG twice the do not call registery 5 times also my local Sheriffs Office twice and nothing has done any good! I have written there CEO I have told the Operators I have sent e-mails and they still will not stop! Someone needs to get Directv to stop calling people after being asked to stop! They call 2 or 3 times each day from 7 am to 7 pm everyday including weekends! Come on I should not have to say more than once Do Not Call Me! They have called me 29 times just in November 2010! If I had to guess I would say they have called me over 300 times since May!They Called me 9 times the first day alone! Enough is Enough!

To: Mr. Michael White, Chairman, President & CEO of DIRECTV
We, the undersigned, ask that you reconsider the decision to remove G4TV programming from your channel line up.

Many of us have been loyal views since G4TV first launched on April 24, 2002. Some of us have been watching since TECHTV first debut on May 11, 1998. Some of us have never known of a time when there was not a channel devoted to us. A place we felt at home.

We have learned everything from the basic usage of a computer all the way up to building a computer ourselves. The channel has been a teacher to many and a friend to all. We ask that you please reconsider your dropping of G4TV.

We come from all walks of life and all age groups. From the child that looks forward to his favorite show every week to the grandparents who learned how to use email for the first time by watching this channel. The channel represent a bridge of generations that has never been duplicated nor ever will again. We are a community. Please do not break that up.

Although The Nielsen system is outdated, and does not fairly represent the amount of people watching. We understand it is the industry standard for obtaining viewer interest in a particular television show. It is our sincerest hope that this petition will represent to you the commitment of the public in support of G4TV.

We each sign as an individual but all sign as family.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Please join us in our campaign to return G4TV to DIRECTV

I was helping a friend by paying his bill thru the internet. He would give me the money and I would pay the bill thru the internet. Well he lost his job and was no longer able to pay for the directv service. He said that he cancelled their services. Directv felt that they had the right to deduct $200 dollars from my bank account just because that was the card that was registered to pay for the bills. They didn't even notify me that they were going to do such a thing. Now I have an overdraft on my bank account. I hope that I can get my money back.

I canceled my DirecTV account & returned their equipment due to unsatisfactory customer service.

Without my permission DirecTV debited my bank account for the balance due. I called DirecTV asking that they credit the monies back to my account, send me a bill and I would send them a money order. They refused!

I spoke with representatives at my bank on two separate occasions; two different representatives told me that DirecTV is notorious for this type of action/transaction.

I am contesting the charge with my bank and have filed a complaint with the FTC.

I want everybody to be aware of DirecTV's unscrupulous practices. Apparently it is commonplace with them.
