DirecTV
Price Hike Allowed While Customer Locked Into Two-Year Term

DirecTV increases their prices and says they have the right to do this and that they can still hold the consumer to the original agreement. I know that whenever there is a material change in a contract, the interested parties have the right to refuse such changes or declare the contract null and void. 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, because when I agreed to the 2-year agreement, the price was different from what they are charging me now. (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.) DirecTV does not specify the amount of change, as is customary in lease agreements that span multiple periods, but merely says 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 conclusion, DO NOT GET DIRECTV! They are expensive, their technicians are unkind and do unacceptable installation, and their business practices are usurious and predatory.
