DirectTV
Charging a $200 contract termination fee after housing move

I was forced to purchase DirectTV's service in my apartment complex because they building would not allow the local cable company to provide service. I moved to another location and switched to cable because I never wanted DirectTV in the first place. DirectTV is now trying to charge a $200 termination fee for ending service in less than a year. I believe the fee is completely unfair since I was forced to purchase the service since the building manager allowed DirectTV to monopolize my area for all cable network services despite the fact that their service is inferior and not likely to be purchased by those who have a choice. I received no benefits in the form of discounts or enhanced services from DirectTV's monopoly over my apartment building. The arrangement was completely unfair to consumers who typically have choices for who provides their cable network services, and a termination fee should not be a term in a such a dubious contract.
