Directv complaint
Directv installer cut into my phone line and cut off my phone service. I reported this to Directv and was told someone would call me back within 24 hours. No one ever called me. I had to call my local phone company to repair my phone line. Their Customer Serivce is unfamiliar with what services they offer. I had constant technical problems. Their downloading programming into my receiver caused my unit to me stuck on one channel. They told me the only way to fix it was to erase everything on my DVR. I had finally had enough and wanted to cancel the service. The Customer Serviced Agreeement stated they could charge me $15.00. I canceled the service and they have been trying to charge me $212.00 saying I entered into a two year service agreement, yet the installer never provided me with a two year agreement like he was supposed, so I never signed anytbing. Directv is dishonest, incompetent and unethical. I can see by complaints online that I am not an isolated case.

A customer of 4 years. I have fallen victim to direct TV. They have charged me $338.23, for early termination. However I was not under contract. . 2 weeks ago one of my receivers died, they sent me a new receiver, told me I would be billed shipping and handling of $19.99 for the receiver. What I got was a broken receiver and poor customer service. Four days later, of rebooting and trouble shooting and still nothing. They would not send a tech to my home, and failed at fixing the problem, so I requested cancellation. Once transferred they where willing to do what they should of done all along, and send a tech.... BUT WAIT THERE'S A CATCH. requires 18 mo commitment. hmmm.. NO THANK YOU, cancel my services. long story short, I denied there offer and days later I was billed $338.23. OH MY GOD.... I almost lost it. Four calls later. Sorry there is nothing we can do, it is correct. I never signed a contract, agreed to a contract or was advised that I was under a contract, per direct TV because of the new leased receiver that was sent to my home, I agreed to a new contract.
