Dish Network
Billed $270 after eight days of service and equipment not working

Dish Network is a complete ripp - off.

I paid two months in advance to turn on my service. And I was told that I would only have to connect my equipment and it would work. I did as they requested and when I did nothing worked. (No surprise there). They also told me it would cost $29.00 to have a technician come to my home to fix it. This took place in April. I was not able to meet with the tech until August. But in August I scheduled the tech to come out and they got 1 of my TV's working out of 4. And sent me a bill for $190.00. After 8 days they shut off my service and said I owed them 270.00. Again I have had service for 8 DAYS. And not all of my equipment works.

I am astounded that a company can be allowed to do business like this in America.

I will be seeking a Small Claims suit against Dish Network to get back the money I paid in advance plus time and mental duress from speaking with customer service for hours. I would also welcome a Class Action Lawsuit to make the responsible for the deceptive billing practices they seem to make there livelihood.
