DirecTV increases their prices and says they have the right to do this and that they can still hold the consumer to the orignal agreement. I know that whenever there is a material change in a contract, the interested parties have the right to refuse such changes or null and void the contract. DirecTV has a clause in the agreement saying that they can change prices to whatever they like and that this does not alter the agreement.
This is unfair as when I agreed to the 2 year agreement (which you don't even know you're agreeing to a two year agreement when you sign up for service, but that is a topic for another discussion) the price was different then what they are charging me now. DirecTV does not specify the amount change, as is customery in lease agreements which spend multiple periods, but mearly that they reserve the right to charge whatever they want.
This is a breach of tort law and I wish someone with knowledge, time, and the desire to earn 50% of a class action settlement would file suit.
In conclucsion, DO NOT GET DIRECTV!!! They are expensive, their technicians are unkind and do unacceptable installation, and their business practices are userious and predistory.
