All my family wanted was some simple television programing! So we decided on a company I was to call.
While I should be more cautious I called the wrong company. That is where the deception began.
As you may know many companies offer a credit to those who referred you.
So as I was discussing our family's hook up date, channels and the person who referred us the sales representative simple pretended I was talking with the right company and said they would credit the referal persons account.
We agreed on a price of $34.99 a month.
Well, of the 100 channels 3 were watchable the remaining 97 had nothing to do with our interests or concerns or wants. Local tv was now costing me bug time.
Oh, as well the monthly charges swelled and within 2 months owed Direct Tv $166.00. Mind you there were no Pay For View or things like that, just local tv.
Our family has three disabled people and we're being ripped off and lied to by slick willies.
My concerns and complaints fell on deaf ears. So we felt the contract was broken by the Direct Tv people. We quickly canceled. Sent their equipment back and alls not so well.
Now I signed the contract in good faith with a company who held themselves out as honest, fair and of a quality beyond reproach. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Never again will I use e-banking or direct deposit. Why?
My girlfriend let me use her debit card to make a one time payment.
There is no such thing anymore of a mans word! Today she was
notified that she is some $700.00 in overdrafts because Direct Tv has
gone into her account and taken money.
By the way the bank lets them, makes no difference there was no money
there to take.
After all the bank gets to bounce everything charge her they lose
nothing.
There is no way companies should be authorized to just take, this is enough.
If they have a claim, bring it to court. Self help is not the answer.
Cercumventing the courts is not right nor should this be allowed.
I'm a disabled veteran so I guess it's no big deal. After all who cares anymore about their neighbor?
